Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2003
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes of Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Management believes, however, that all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2003 due to many reasons including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dispositions and changes in interest rates.
This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Federal Income Taxes
On May 28, 2003, the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (“JGTRRA”) was signed into law which, as part of an effort to correct the effects of double taxation of certain corporate dividends, included a measure to lower the tax rate on dividends paid to shareholders. However, dividends paid by REITs have not historically been subject to this double taxation and therefore, the lower rate applied to dividends in the new law will not apply to the dividends paid by the Company. The dividends paid by the Company will continue to be taxed at the current ordinary income rates of the taxpayer.
Additionally, the JGTRRA lowered the capital gains rates. These capital gain rate reductions apply to shareholders with any type of capital gain, including those that are created by a REIT. Therefore, these lower rates will apply to capital gains of the Company which any shareholder may have.

New Pronouncements
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. Until now, a company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 changes that guidance by requiring a variable interest entity, as defined, to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. FIN 46 also requires disclosure about variable interest entities that the company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to existing entities in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company has evaluated the requirements of FIN 46 and does not expect any effect on its consolidated financial position or operating results.

Unsecured Credit Facility due 2004
In 2001, the Company entered into a $150.0 million credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility due 2004”) that bears interest at LIBOR rates plus 1.15%, payable quarterly, and matures in July 2004. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee of 0.2% on the commitment. The Unsecured Credit Facility due 2004 contains certain representations, warranties, and financial and other covenants customary in such loan agreements. At September 30, 2003, the Company had borrowing capacity remaining of approximately $9.0 million under this facility.
On October 24, 2003, the Company entered into a $300.0 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of 12 banks (the “Unsecured Credit Facility due 2006”). Rates for borrowings under the new facility are, at the Company’s option, LIBOR based or based on the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% or the agent bank’s prime rate and can vary based on the Company’s debt rating. In addition, the Company will pay a 0.35% facility fee per quarter that can fluctuate based on the Company’s debt rating. The Unsecured Credit Facility due 2006 is subject to other terms and conditions customary for transactions of this nature and may be expanded to $350.0 million within two years, provided additional commitments are obtained, and the term may be extended one additional year. The initial borrowing under the Unsecured Credit Facility due 2006 in the amount of $117.0 million is priced at 1.10% over LIBOR and was used to retire the $115.0 million outstanding balance on the Company’s previous $150.0 million revolving credit facility.
Senior Notes due 2002
In 1995, the Company privately placed $90.0 million of unsecured senior notes (the “Senior Notes due 2002”). These notes were fully repaid upon maturity on September 1, 2002.
Senior Notes due 2006
In 2000, the Company privately placed $70.0 million of unsecured senior notes (the “Senior Notes due 2006”) with multiple purchasers affiliated with two institutions. The Senior Notes due 2006 bear interest at 9.49%, payable semi-annually, and mature on April 1, 2006. On April 1, 2004 and 2005, the Company must repay $20.3 million of the principal with the remaining principal balance of $29.4 million payable upon maturity. The note agreements pertaining to the Senior Notes due 2006 contain certain representations, warranties and financial and other covenants customary in such loan agreements.
Senior Notes due 2011
In 2001, the Company publicly issued $300.0 million of unsecured senior notes due 2011 (the “Senior Notes due 2011”). The Senior Notes due 2011 bear interest at 8.125%, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1, and are due on May 1, 2011, unless redeemed earlier by the Company. The notes were originally issued at a discount of approximately $1.5 million, yielding an 8.202% interest rate per annum. In 2001, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts totaling $125.0 million to offset changes in the fair value of $125.0 million of the notes. The Company paid interest at the equivalent rate of 1.99% over six month LIBOR. At December 31, 2002, the aggregate fair value of the hedge totaling $16.6 million was reported in other assets with an offsetting increase to the Senior Notes due 2011 included in notes and bonds payable on the Company’s balance sheet. In March 2003, the Company terminated these interest rate swap agreements and entered into new swaps under terms identical to those of the 2001 swap agreements except that the equivalent rate was adjusted to 4.12% over six month LIBOR. The Company received cash equal to the fair value of
8
the terminated swaps of $18.4 million. The fair value of the terminated swaps is combined with the principal balance of the senior notes on the Company’s balance sheet. The fair value gain of $18.4 million will be amortized against interest expense over the remaining term of the notes offsetting the increase in the spread over LIBOR. The derivative instruments meet all requirements of a fair value hedge and have been accounted for using the “shortcut method” as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133. As such, changes in fair value have had no impact on the income statement. At September 30, 2003, the aggregate fair value of the current hedge totaling $2.9 million is also combined with the principal balance of the senior notes with an offsetting increase to other liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) operates under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as an indefinite life real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company, a self-managed, self-administered REIT, integrates owning, managing, and developing income-producing real estate properties and mortgages associated with the delivery of healthcare services throughout the United States. The Company believes that by providing related real estate services, it can differentiate its competitive market position and expand its asset base and increase revenues.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from rentals on its healthcare properties and from interest earned on mortgage loans. Leases and other financial support arrangements with respect to the Company’s healthcare real estate properties are designed to reduce the Company’s exposure to increased costs and expenses incurred from the operation of the healthcare properties which are typically borne by the tenants and healthcare providers related to the properties. The Company typically incurs operating and administrative expenses, principally compensation expense, office rental and related occupancy costs and various expenses incurred in the process of managing its existing portfolio and acquiring additional properties. The Company also incurs interest expense on its various debt instruments and depreciation expense on its real estate portfolio.
Funds From Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). Beginning with the first quarter of 2003, the Company calculated and reported FFO and FFO per share in accordance with NAREIT’s April 2002 White Paper. NAREIT defines FFO as “the most commonly accepted and reported measure of REIT operating performance equal to a REIT’s net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and adding back real estate depreciation.”
The Company considers FFO to be an informative measure of REIT performance commonly used in the REIT industry. However, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
The table below sets forth computations of FFO and FFO per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and reconciles FFO to net income (dollars in thousands, except per share data).

Operating Results
Third Quarter 2003 Compared to Third Quarter 2002
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 totaled $17.4 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted common share, on total revenues of $48.6 million. This compares with net income of $20.5 million, or $0.45 per basic common share ($0.44 per diluted common share), on total revenues of $49.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Included in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was a net loss on the sale of real estate properties of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share compared to a $0.2 million net gain, or $0.006 per basic and diluted common share, on the sale of real estate properties in the third quarter of 2002.
Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2002 decreased $1.2 million or 2.5% mainly for the reasons discussed below:
• Master lease rental income decreased $3.2 million or 12.6% due mainly to the disposal of 10 master leased properties offset partially by the acquisition of two master leased properties since the second quarter of 2002 and rent growth from contractual increases. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company also recorded additional allowances for bad debts and reduced rental accruals on properties related to certain operators.
• Property operating income increased $2.4 million or 12.1% due mainly to the acquisition of eight managed properties and the commencement of operations of three properties that were previously under construction, offset partially by the disposal of one managed property since the second quarter of 2002.
• Straight-line rental income decreased $0.2 million or 20.3% due mainly to normal annual decreases resulting from annual contractual base rent increases.
13
• Mortgage interest income decreased $0.6 million or 17.7% due mainly to the repayment of 26 mortgage loans offset partially by the acquisition of two mortgage loans since the second quarter of 2002.
• Interest and other income increased $0.5 million or 153.7% due mainly to interest earned in 2003 on notes receivables entered into with certain operators.
Total expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2002 increased $1.1 million or 3.8% mainly for the reasons discussed below:
• General and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million or 14.0% due mainly to a decrease in the number of employees and related compensation for portfolio management and other service-based activities.
• Property operating expenses increased $1.3 million or 17.0% due mainly to the acquisition of eight managed properties and the commencement of operations of three properties that were previously under construction, offset partially by the disposal of one managed property since the second quarter of 2002.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $53.7 million, or $1.31 per basic common share ($1.29 per diluted common share), on total revenues of $144.8 million. This compares with net income of $62.6 million, or $1.40 per basic common share ($1.38 per diluted common share), on total revenues of $147.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Included in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was a net loss on the sale of real estate properties of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share compared to a $2.9 million net gain, or $0.07 per basic and diluted common share, on the sale of real estate properties for the same period in 2002.
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 decreased $3.0 million or 2.0% mainly for the reasons discussed below:
• Master lease rental income decreased $6.3 million or 8.5% due mainly to the disposal of 12 master leased properties, offset partially by the acquisition of two master leased properties since January 1, 2002 and rent growth from contractual increases. In 2003, the Company also accrued lease termination fee income related to three properties contracted to be sold, recorded additional allowances for bad debts on certain receivables and reduced rental accruals on properties related to certain operators.
• Property operating income increased $5.6 million or 9.7% due mainly to the acquisition of eight managed properties and the commencement of operations of four properties that were previously under construction, offset partially by the disposal of four managed properties since January 1, 2002.
• Mortgage interest income decreased $2.9 million or 27.7% due mainly to the repayment of 23 mortgage loans, offset partially by the acquisition of two mortgage loans since January 1, 2002.
14
• Interest and other income increased $0.9 million or 36.9% due mainly to interest earned in 2003 on notes receivables entered into with certain operators. Also, a larger amount of prepayment penalty and exit fees were recognized in 2003 compared to 2002, offset partially by a fee recognized in 2002 related to the assignment of four assisted living facility leases to a new operator.
Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased $2.4 million or 2.7% mainly for the reasons discussed below:
• Property operating expenses increased $2.7 million or 12.1% due mainly to the acquisition of eight managed properties and the commencement of operations of four properties that were previously under construction, offset partially by the disposal of four managed properties since January 1, 2002.
• Interest expense decreased $0.3 million or 1.3% due mainly to the full repayment of the 7.41% Senior Notes due 2002 in 2002 and the scheduled principal payments on the mortgage notes payable. These decreases in interest expense were offset partially by higher interest expense incurred on the Unsecured Credit Facility due 2004 caused by a higher outstanding balance in 2003 and less interest capitalized in 2003 due to fewer projects under construction during 2003 than in 2002.

15
The Company continues to maintain a conservative balance sheet by continuing to replace its debt with shorter maturities with debt having longer maturities. As a result of these efforts, as of September 30, 2003, 60% of the Company’s outstanding principal debt balances are due after 2007. Also, at September 30, 2003, the Company had borrowing capacity remaining of $9.0 million under the Unsecured Credit Facility due 2004. On October 24, 2003, the Company entered into a $300.0 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of 12 banks (the “Unsecured Credit Facility due 2006”). Rates for borrowings under the new facility are, at the Company’s option, LIBOR based or based on the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% or the agent bank’s prime rate and can vary based on the Company’s debt rating. In addition, the Company will pay a 0.35% facility fee per quarter that can fluctuate based on the Company’s debt rating. The Unsecured Credit Facility due 2006 is subject to other terms and conditions customary for transactions of this nature and may be expanded to $350.0 million within two years, provided additional commitments are obtained, and the term may be extended one additional year. The initial borrowing under the Unsecured Credit Facility due 2006 in the amount of $117.0 million is priced at 1.10% over LIBOR and was used to retire the $115.0 million outstanding balance on the Company’s previous $150.0 million revolving credit facility. As of October 31, 2003, the Company had $133.0 million outstanding on the new facility.
The Company’s senior debt is rated Baa3, BBB-, and BBB by Moody’s Investors Service, Standard and Poor’s Investor Service, and Fitch Ratings, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company’s earnings covered fixed charges at a ratio of 2.97 to 1.00. At September 30, 2003, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled approximately $911.0 million and its debt to total capitalization ratio, on a book basis, was approximately 0.39 to 1.
At September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with the covenant requirements under its various debt instruments.
In 2001, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts totaling $125.0 million to offset changes in the fair value of $125.0 million of the Senior Notes due 2011. The Company paid interest at the equivalent rate of 1.99% over six month LIBOR. At December 31, 2002, the aggregate fair value of the hedge totaling $16.6 million was reported in other assets with an offsetting increase to the Senior Notes due 2011 included in notes and bonds payable on the Company’s balance sheet. In March 2003, the Company terminated these interest rate swap agreements and entered into new swaps under terms identical to those of the 2001 swap agreements except that the equivalent rate was adjusted to 4.12% over six month LIBOR. The Company received cash equal to the fair value of the terminated swaps of $18.4 million that was used to partially repay the Unsecured Credit Facility due 2004 and for general corporate purposes. The fair value of the terminated swaps is combined with the principal balance of the senior notes on the Company’s balance sheet. The fair value gain of $18.4 million will be amortized against interest expense over the remaining term of the notes offsetting the increase in the spread over LIBOR. The derivative instruments meet all requirements of a fair value hedge and have been accounted for using the “shortcut method” as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133. As such, changes in fair value have had no impact on the income statement. At September 30, 2003, the aggregate fair value of the current hedge totaling $2.9 million is also combined with the principal balance of the senior notes with an offsetting increase to other liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

Shelf Registration
On September 5, 2003, the Company sold 750,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in an underwritten public offering for net proceeds totaling $23.3 million. Following this offering, as of September 30, 2003, the Company can issue an aggregate of approximately $142.6 million of securities remaining under its currently effective registration statement. On September 30, 2003, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that will increase the Company’s available securities offering capacity by $300.0 million. This registration statement has not been made effective but the Company anticipates it will become effective during the fourth quarter of 2003.
Should the market permit, the Company may issue additional securities under its registration statement(s). The Company may, under certain circumstances, borrow additional amounts in connection with the renovation or expansion of its properties, the acquisition or development of additional properties or, as necessary, to meet distribution requirements for REITs under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company may raise additional capital or make investments by issuing, in public or private transactions, its equity and debt securities, but the availability and terms of any such issuance will depend upon market and other conditions.
Security Deposits and Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2003, the Company held approximately $10.5 million in letters of credit, security deposits, debt service reserves or capital replacement reserves. Generally, the Company may, at its discretion and upon notification to the operator, draw upon these instruments if there are any defaults under the leases or mortgage notes.
Asset Acquisitions
During the third quarter of 2003, the Company invested $26.0 million in two medical office buildings and two attached parking garages in San Antonio, Texas and invested $20.6 million in two medical office buildings in Honolulu, Hawaii. Also, the Company repurchased from a bank a $6.4 million participating interest in one of the Company’s mortgage notes receivable.
Asset Dispositions
During the third quarter of 2003, the Company sold a physician clinic in Braintree, Massachusetts and an assisted living facility in Cheyenne, Wyoming for net proceeds totaling $14.0 million, resulting in a $461,000 loss on the sales.
Investment Trends
The low interest rate environment continues to create intense competition from highly leveraged financial intermediary property buyers. While the Company continues to see prospects for large portfolios being brought to the market, its willingness to make large-scale investments may continue to be impacted for some time as it remains disciplined in its investment approach.
The Company believes that competition from such buyers will eventually subside as interest rates moderate to historical levels. However, as growth in the Company’s top line revenues and growth in FFO is a direct reflection of the Company’s ability to make accretive
17
new investments that outpace disposals and mortgage maturities and prepayments, the Company anticipates that growth in its FFO may be modest.
HealthSouth Corporation
The United States Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission have accused HealthSouth Corporation (“HealthSouth”) and several of its officers, including its former Chief Executive Officer, of overstating earnings and assets included in HealthSouth’s financial statements. A number of HealthSouth’s officers, including all five of its previous Chief Financial Officers, have pled guilty and the former Chief Executive Officer has been indicted. The case remains under investigation.
The Company owns 27 facilities that are operated by HealthSouth, of which 25 are master leased and two are multi-tenanted facilities in which HealthSouth is a tenant providing surgery, diagnostic and related services. The Company’s total investment in these facilities was $276.7 million at September 30, 2003, and approximately 13% of the Company’s 2002 revenues were related to these properties. Since the public announcement of the case against HealthSouth in March 2003, the Company has continued to receive all material amounts due from HealthSouth.
In the event HealthSouth institutes bankruptcy proceedings, it would have the ability to reject its leases with the Company. It should be noted that, with two exceptions, all of the Company’s master leases with HealthSouth contain cross-default provisions that may provide some legal protection against selective rejection of leases that are cross-defaulted. The effect of the cross-default provisions would be subject to the decision of the bankruptcy court. If HealthSouth rejected its leases with the Company, the Company would undertake to lease the properties to other operators. The Company does not know under what lease terms or how quickly it would be able to re-lease the properties. At this time, given the operating nature of the properties, management believes the risk of total or substantial losses in the Company’s rental revenue from the portfolio to be unlikely.
Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2003, the Company had a net investment of approximately $9.0 million in two build-to-suit developments in progress that have a total remaining funding commitment of approximately $33.5 million.
Dividends
On July 22, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors declared an increase in its quarterly common stock dividend from $0.615 per share ($2.46 annualized) to $0.62 per share ($2.48 annualized) payable to stockholders of record on August 15, 2003. This dividend was paid on September 4, 2003. On October 28, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors declared another increase in the quarterly common stock dividend to $0.625 per share ($2.50 annualized) payable to stockholders of record on November 14, 2003. This dividend is payable on December 4, 2003 and relates to the period July 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003. While the Company has no present plans to change its quarterly common stock dividend policy, the dividend policy is reviewed each quarter by the Board of Directors.

Liquidity
Under the terms of the leases and other financial support agreements the Company has relating to most of the properties, the tenants or healthcare providers are generally responsible for paying the operating expenses and taxes relating to the properties. As a result of these arrangements, with limited exceptions not material to the Company’s overall performance, the Company does not believe any increases in property operating expenses or taxes would significantly impact the Company’s operating results with respect to those properties during the respective terms of the agreements. After the term of the leases or financial support agreements, or in the event the financial obligations required by the agreement are not met, the Company anticipates that any expenditures it might become responsible for in maintaining the properties will be funded by occupancy tenants, by cash from operations and, in the case of major expenditures, possibly by borrowings. To the extent that unanticipated expenditures or significant borrowings are required, the Company’s cash available for distribution and liquidity may be adversely affected.
The Company plans to continue to meet its liquidity needs, including funding additional investments for the remainder of 2003 and 2004, paying quarterly dividends and funding debt service from its cash flows, proceeds from the Unsecured Credit Facility due 2006, proceeds from additional repayments of mortgage notes receivable, proceeds from the sale of real estate investments, or additional capital market financing. The Company believes that its liquidity and sources of capital are adequate to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company cannot, however, be certain that these sources of funds will be available at a time and upon terms acceptable or in sufficient amounts to meet its liquidity needs. See the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for further detail of the Company’s cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not significantly affected the Company’s earnings due to the moderate inflation rate in recent years and the fact that most of the Company’s leases and financial support arrangements require tenants and sponsors to pay all or some portion of the increases in operating expenses, thereby reducing the risk of any adverse effects of inflation to the Company. In addition, inflation will have the effect of increasing gross revenue the Company is to receive under the terms of our leases and financial support arrangements. Leases and financial support arrangements vary in the remaining terms of obligations from one to 20 years, further reducing the risk of any adverse effects of inflation to the Company. Interest payable under the interest rate swaps and the unsecured credit facilities is calculated at a variable rate; therefore, the amount of interest payable under the swaps and this debt will be influenced by changes in short-term rates, which tend to be sensitive to inflation. Generally, changes in inflation and interest rates tend to move in the same direction. During periods when interest rate increases outpace inflation, our operating results should be negatively impacted. Likewise, when increases in inflation outpace increases in interest rates, our operating results should be positively impacted.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Cautionary Language Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials the Company has filed or may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made, or to be made, by senior management of the Company, contain, or will contain, disclosures which are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “continue,” “should” and other comparable terms.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, there were no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
21
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect its internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report. The Company, however, continues its process of assessing, improving and formalizing its system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On October 9, 2003, HR Acquisition I Corporation (f/k/a Capstone Capital Corporation, “Capstone”), a wholly-owned affiliate of the Company was served with the Third Amended Verified Complaint in a shareholder derivative suit which was originally filed on August 28, 2002 in the Jefferson County, Alabama Circuit Court by a shareholder of HealthSouth Corporation. The suit alleges that certain officers and directors of HealthSouth, who were also officers and directors of Capstone, sold real estate properties from HealthSouth to Capstone and then leased the properties back to HealthSouth at artificially high values, in violation of their fiduciary obligations to HealthSouth. The Company acquired Capstone in a merger transaction in October, 1998. None of the Capstone officers and directors remained in their positions following the Company’s acquisition of Capstone. The complaint seeks an accounting and disgorgement of monies obtained by the allegedly wrongful conduct and other unspecified damages. The Company does not believe that these claims have merit and has filed a motion to dismiss the case asserting various defenses, including the statute of limitations. The Company does not believe that these claims will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company.
Item 5. Other Information
Effective November 1, 2003, John M. Bryant, Jr., formerly Vice President and Assistant General Counsel, was appointed Senior Vice President by management and succeeded Roger O. West as General Counsel for the Company. Mr. West has assumed new responsibilities as a Vice President of the Company.
