Item 8.01. Other Events.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires that we report the results of operations of a property that has either been disposed or is classified as held for sale and meets certain other criteria in discontinued operations. In March 2007, we sold 4055 Valley View Lane and 100 Technology Center Drive. Accordingly, we are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to revise our consolidated and combined financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “Form 10-K”) to reflect the reclassification of the results from operations at 4055 Valley View Lane and 100 Technology Center Drive as discontinued operations which is summarized as follows (in thousands):

 

     Year Ended December 31,
     2006    2005    2004

Total revenues

   $ 9,827    $ 9,810    $ 8,988

Total expenses

     9,165      8,926      8,003
                    

Income from discontinued operations before minority interests

   $ 662    $ 884    $ 985
                    

The reclassification impacts our consolidated and combined statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 included in Part II, Item 8 of the Form 10-K as well as Notes 1, 2, 7, 15, 16 and 17 to such consolidated and combined financial statements. The revised consolidated and combined financial statements are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, we have updated the selected financial data in Part II, Item 6 of the Form 10-K and our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in Part II, Item 7 of the Form 10-K. The updated selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are filed as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Except as described above, the information presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not include any adjustments or updates to any information presented in our consolidated financial statements or elsewhere in the Form 10-K.
