Fourth Quarter Operating Results

For the fourth quarter of 2002, same-property comparisons (for 121 "Core" properties containing 34,464 apartment units owned since January January: see month.  1, 2001) reflected an increase in rental revenues of 3.0%, an increase in total revenues of 2.9%, and a net operating income decrease of 3.1% from the fourth quarter of 2001.

 increased by 11.9%, primarily due to increases in natural gas utility costs, property insurance, and real estate taxes. "The increase in natural gas costs was not unexpected, as we experienced a very mild winter last year.

Occupancies for the 7,312 apartment units acquired between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2002, (the "Recently Acquired Communities") averaged 93.7% during the fourth quarter of 2002, at average monthly rents of $1,057.

Full Year Operating Results

For the year ended December 31, 2002, same-property comparisons for the Core properties showed an increase in rental revenue of 4.1% and a net operating income increase of 3.6% over 2001. Property level operating expenses increased by 5.1%, primarily due to increases in repairs and maintenance, personnel expense, property insurance, and real estate taxes, partially offset by reductions in natural gas utility expenses and snow removal costs. Average economic occupancy for the Core properties decreased from 93.6% to 92.0%, with average monthly rents rising 5.8%.

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income decreased $228,000 during the fourth quarter of 2002 from the prior year quarter, resulting from a combination of decreased levels of financing to affiliates and a lower interest rate environment.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

During the fourth quarter of 2002, in three unrelated transactions, the Company acquired seven communities with a total of 653 apartment units, located in the Hudson Valley

Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, the Company sold two communities with a total of 552 units for $20.6 million, including closing costs, which equates to approximately $37,400 per unit.

 Associated with Affordable Properties

In 2000, Home Properties sold the development operations of its affordable housing activity while retaining general partner interests and other assets related to approximately 7,400 apartment units in 129 affordable communities for which it also conducted property management operations. The Company, including its equity affiliates, now intends to sell virtually all of the assets associated with its general partnership interest including principally loans, advances and management contracts. The Company recorded impairment charges aggregating $14.1 million in the 2002 fourth quarter. Such charges principally relate to reducing recorded amounts of the previously mentioned assets to estimated fair value. In addition, the Company recorded charges aggregating $3.8 million arising from the operating losses operating loss

 and other charges directly associated with the performance of these affordable properties due to the weak economy, which negatively affected the properties' revenue and occupancy.

The Company intends to sell the assets in three phases:

Phase I consists of the Company's interest in 37 properties containing 1,171 units, all New York State Rural Development properties, which are under contract to be sold. A closing is anticipated by the second quarter of 2003.

Phase II consists of the Company's interest in 49 properties with 1,396 units, all Pennsylvania Pennsylvania (pĕnsəlvā`nyə), one of the Middle Atlantic states of the United States.

The Company's plan is to have the interest in the properties under contract to be sold by the end of 2003 or early in 2004.

Losses anticipated in connection with the sale of the $30.2 million in assets (before impairment) related to the limited partnerships for which the Company is the general partner have been reflected in the $14.1 million impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002. Gains on sale, if any, will be recognized when the sales actually occur.

Home Properties will continue to own and manage four affordable housing communities with 486 apartment units it currently owns directly.

Capital Markets Activities

Outlook

The Company has reduced its FFO guidance for 2003 to a range of $2.91 to $3.01 per share, which will produce FFO growth per share of -2.0% to 1.3% when compared to 2002 results before impairment and other charges associated with the assets associated with its general partnership interest. This is reduced from a range of $2.97 to $3.17 provided at the time of the release of third quarter earnings. This change, mostly on the high end of the range, reflects management's current assessment of economic and market conditions. In addition, the current guidance reflects the cost of expensing stock options, which reduces results by approximately $0.02 per share. The previous guidance assumed improvement in rental rates and economic occupancy starting in the third quarter of 2003. The current guidance assumes occupancy will not improve from 2002 results.

The quarterly breakdown for 2003 guidance on FFO per share results is as follows: First quarter $0.60 to $0.62; second quarter $0.75 to $0.78; third quarter $0.81 to $0.83; fourth quarter $0.75 to $0.78. Assumptions used for the 2003 projections are included with the published supplemental information and will be discussed on the conference call today at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.

 charge-dilutive                 $.76      $.82      $2.97      $3.03

(1) FFO is defined as net income (calculated in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains or
    losses from sales of property or non-cash real estate impairment
    charge, minority interest and extraordinary items plus
    depreciation from real property. Other similarly titled measures
    may not be calculated in the same manner. This presentation
    assumes the conversion of dilutive common stock equivalents and
    convertible preferred stock.

(2) Basic includes common stock outstanding plus operating partnership
    units in Home Properties of New York, L.P., which can be converted
    into shares of common stock. For the three-months ended December
    31, 2002, diluted includes additional common stock equivalents.
    For the year-ended December 31, 2002 and the three-month and
    year-ended December 31, 2001 diluted includes additional common
    stock equivalents and Series B through E (in 2002) and Series A
    through E (in 2001) convertible cumulative preferred stock, which
    can be converted into shares of common stock.

(3) FFO for the three-months ended December 31, 2002, as computed for
    basic is gross FFO of $18,918 and $37,135 in 2002 and 2001,
    respectively, less convertible preferred dividends of $2,367 and
    $4,189 in 2002 and 2001, respectively. FFO for the year-ended
    December 31, 2002 as computed for basic is gross FFO of $121,745
    and $136,604 in 2002 and 2001, respectively, less convertible
    preferred dividends of $10,589 and $17,861 in 2002 and 2001,
    respectively. Gross FFO for the year-ended December 31, 2002
    excludes the premium paid on the Series B preferred stock
    repurchase of $5,025.

(4) FFO for the three-months ended December 31, 2002, as computed for
    diluted is basic FFO of $16,551 and $32,946 in 2002 and 2001,
    respectively, plus the Series A - E convertible preferred dividend
    of $4,198 in 2001. FFO for the year-ended December 31, 2002, as
    computed for diluted is basic FFO of $111,156 and $118,743 in 2002
    and 2001, respectively, plus the Series B - E convertible
    preferred dividend of $10,589 in 2002 and Series A - E convertible
    preferred dividend of $17,861 in 2001. Gross FFO for year-ended
    December 31, 2002 excludes the premium paid on the Series B
    preferred stock repurchase of $5,025.

(5) Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is defined as FFO less an
    annual reserve for anticipated recurring, non-revenue generating
    capitalized costs of $525 per apartment unit. AFFO is computed by
    reducing FFO for each period by the share of annual reserve for
    each period of: $5,483 for fourth quarter 2002; $5,075 for fourth
    quarter 2001; $21,932 for 2002; and, $20,300 for 2001. The
    resulting sum is divided by the weighted average shares/units on a
    diluted basis to arrive at AFFO per share/unit.
