ITEM 5.   Other Events

 

In July 2003, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (the “Company”) sold an apartment community. As a result of this sale, the Company is required by certain provisions adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission to revise its consolidated statements of income from those originally reported for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 in order that they conform with the presentation requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), to reflect separately the results of discontinued operations for that community, even though those financial statements relate to periods prior to the date of the property sale and prior to the effectiveness of SFAS 144. The Company is filing this Form 8-K to update the disclosures in Items 6, 7 and 8 of the Company’s Form 10-K for each of these fiscal years and to make the corresponding financial statements publicly available.
