Item 8.01 Other Events
As a result of the reclassification of certain real estate and resorts to properties held for sale during the first quarter of 2005, we have reclassified the income and expenses of such properties to discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2005 and for all prior periods. These reclassifications had no effect on our reported net income or net income per limited partnership unit. Accordingly, we are providing updated information for the following: Selected Financial Data, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, for the periods contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 ("Form 10-K"). All other items of the Form 10-K remain unchanged.
