In the opinion of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Trust's financial position as of June 30, 2002, and the results of its operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The accounting policies followed by the Trust are set forth in Note 1 to the Trust's financial statements in the 2001 Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference. 2. In 1987, the Trust elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust and, as such, will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to shareholders provided that at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income is distributed. The Trust intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. 8 USA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Rent revenues decreased $112,853 and $232,390 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. These decreases were primarily due to the sale of 845 Harbor Boulevard in West Sacramento, California in December 2001. Interest expense decreased $79,892 and $160,908 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 due to lower average levels of outstanding debt during 2002. Net income was $9.58 and $17.16 per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to $9.25 and $17.93 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The Trust paid distributions of $15.84 and $31.68 per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Trust meets its liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operating activities, along with traditional debt alternatives available to it and proceeds from the sale of properties. Cash provided by operating activities is distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends. Accordingly, capital outlays for renovations, principal payments on long- term notes payable and share repurchases require additional sources of capital. The expected additional sources of capital are debt and proceeds from the sale of properties. The Trust's capital requirements depend upon the level of improvements and redevelopment of its existing properties. The sources of funding will be draws on its lines of credit, collection of the remaining note receivable or additional debt. In addition, the Trust has identified certain of its properties that may be sold as a source of funding, if the Trust's sale prices are met. 9 PART II.
