ITEM 5.                             OTHER EVENTS

 

SL Green Realty Corp. (the “Company”) is revising its historical financial statements in connection with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). During 2003, the Company sold certain properties and in compliance with SFAS 144 has reported revenue, expenses and gain on sale from these properties as income from discontinued operations for each period presented in its quarterly report filed since the date of the sales (including the comparable period of the prior year). The rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to us require that we reclassify the reported revenue, expenses and gain on sale from these properties as income from discontinued operations in our annual financial statements for each of the three years shown in the Company’s last annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, if those financials are incorporated by reference in subsequent filings with the SEC made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, even though those financial statements relate to a period prior to the date of the sale. These reclassifications have no effect on the Company’s reported net income available to common shareholders or funds from operations (“FFO”). This Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7, 8 and 15(a)1 of the Company’s Form 10-K to reflect those properties sold during 2003 as discontinued operations. All other items of the Form 10-K remain unchanged. No attempt has been made to update matters in the Form 10-K except to the extent expressly provided above.
