result of a review of the existing investments reflected on the consolidated balance sheet.  These impairment losses are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations in total expenses and include the write-down of assets classified as other assets.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded approximately $17.1 million of asset impairment charges related to its corporate housing business.  Following the guidance in SFAS No. 142, these charges were the result of the Company’s decision to reduce the carrying value of its corporate housing business to $30.0 million, given the weakness in the economy and management’s expectations for near-term performance.  This impairment loss is reflected on the consolidated statements of operations as impairment on corporate housing business and on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction in goodwill, net.
