What is the primary purpose of this 8-K/A filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K/A filing is to amend a previously filed 8-K report dated July 9, 2002, to correct minor typographical errors found in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2002. It also provides updated financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2002.

How did the company's profitability change in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the prior year?

Earnings Per Share (EPS) on a diluted basis decreased by 6.1% to $0.31 in Q2 2002 from $0.33 in Q2 2001. This decrease was primarily due to lower net gains from real estate dispositions and a slight decline in same-store GAAP net operating income. However, Funds From Operations (FFO), a key measure for REITs, showed significant improvement, increasing by 39.5% to $0.60 per share in Q2 2002 compared to $0.43 in Q2 2001, largely due to the absence of significant non-cash impairment charges that affected the prior year's results.

What is the company's occupancy rate, and how is it performing?

The company's industrial portfolio maintained a strong occupancy rate of 94.4% as of June 30, 2002, which was unchanged from the end of the first quarter. While this rate is down slightly from year-end 2001 and Q2 2001, it indicates a stable and well-occupied portfolio, outperforming the general national industrial market.

Has the company changed its accounting policy for stock options?

Yes, the company has begun expensing the fair value of stock options granted under its stock option plan, beginning with options granted on or after January 1, 2002. This expense will be recognized over the option vesting period. Previously, such costs were typically disclosed only in the footnotes.
