The Company has adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No.
128,  "Earnings  per  Share",  which  was  issued  by the  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board in February,  1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires dual  presentation of
basic  earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS on the face of all statements of
earnings for periods  ending after  December 15, 1997.  Basic EPS is computed as
net income divided by the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding
for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur
from common shares issuable  through  stock-based  compensation  including stock
options.  The  exchange of an Operating  Partnership  Unit for common stock will
have no effect on diluted EPS as unitholders and stockholders  effectively share
equally in the net income of the  Operating  Partnership.  Reported EPS in prior
periods have been restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 128.
