NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all accruals and adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations

Flagler Development

During the third quarter 2002, Flagler Development Company (Flagler) sold an industrial building totaling approximately 300,000 square feet located in its Beacon Station Business Park. By exercising an option, the tenant purchased the building for $18.2 million, and Flagler reported a pre-tax gain of $5.5 million ($3.3 million, net of tax) on the sale. In addition, Flagler entered into a contract to sell a 101,000-square foot building utilized as a call center in its Beacon Station Business Park, with the sale expected to close in the fourth quarter 2002. These sales are accounted for as discontinued operations under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144), and all periods presented have been restated for the discontinued operations of both buildings. The gain on the sale of the industrial building has been excluded from continuing operations and included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The call center building, which is expected to be sold in the fourth quarter of 2002, with a net book value of $8.3 million, has been included in assets held for sale.
