    ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
 
    The purpose of this Form 8-K/A is to furnish revised Supplemental Information for the period ended September 30, 2003. The Supplemental Information originally filed by this Form 8-K on October 22, 2003 is being revised as a result of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s decision to defer the effective date of certain provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liability and Equity.
 
    A copy of the revised Supplemental Information is furnished with this Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference. Exhibit 99.1 reconciles Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to the Registrants’ income from continuing operations before taxes and minority interest. EBITDA is a metric widely used in the real estate industry and the Company believes the attached reconciliation will be helpful to investors and security analysts in understanding the Registrant’s results of operations.
