CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K Item 8.01. Other Events ---------- ------------ Home Properties, Inc. ("the Company") plans to file two registration statements on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In connection with the filing of these registration statements on Form S-3, we are filing this current report on Form 8-K to set forth audited consolidated financial statements and certain other financial information originally reported within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 ("Annual Report"), to reflect the reclassification of two properties from held for use to properties held for sale during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006. We are updating our previously issued Annual Report due to certain provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" that require us to report the results of operations of a property if it has either been disposed or is classified as held for sale in discontinued operations and meets certain other criteria. Accordingly, the Company has updated its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 to reflect the reclassification of two properties that were disposed on April 5, 2006 as held for sale and met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations in the quarter ending March 31, 2006. The results of these two properties, acquired during 2004, are classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2005 and reflected in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. This Current Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7, 8 and 15 of our Annual Report to reflect the discontinued operations, where applicable. No information other than that related to the discontinued operations has been updated. These reclassifications of discontinued operations have no effect on the Company's reported net income available to common shareholders, financial condition, cash flows or funds from operations as reported in prior SEC filings. Also, there is no effect to our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. Items 6, 7, 8 and 15 of our Annual Report are set forth on Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. We have not modified or updated any other disclosures presented in our Annual Report. All other information in the Annual Report remains unchanged. Item 9.01.
