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.
