PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL
This Proxy Statement and enclosed form of Proxy are furnished to the shareholders of Universal Health Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (the Trust), in connection with the solicitation of Proxies by the Board of Trustees for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be held at Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania on Monday, June 2, 2003 at 10:00 AM, and at any adjournment thereof. This Proxy Statement and related form of Proxy were first sent to shareholders of the Trust on or about April 28, 2003. The Annual Meeting is being held to: (1) elect two Class II Trustees of the Trust, both of which will serve for a term of three years until the annual election of Trustees in the year 2006 and the election and qualification of their successors; and (2) transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
A form of Proxy for use at the meeting is enclosed. Any shareholder may revoke a Proxy at any time before the authority granted by it is exercised by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Trust, by submitting another executed Proxy to the Secretary of the Trust bearing a later date (but prior to the voting of such Proxy), or by attending the meeting and asking (prior to the voting of such Proxy) for the return of such Proxy. Unless otherwise indicated on the Proxy, shares represented by any Proxy will, if the Proxy is properly executed and received by the Trust prior to the Annual Meeting, be voted FOR the nominees for Trustees.
Voting Electronically and by Telephone
Instead of submitting your vote by mail on the enclosed proxy card, your vote may be submitted by telephone or via the Internet. Please note that there are separate telephone and Internet voting arrangements depending on whether shares registered in the Trusts stock records are in your name or in the name of a brokerage firm or bank. If you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you do not have to return your proxy card to the Trust.
The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders identities, to allow shareholders to have their shares voted and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Shareholders voting via the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, that will be borne by the shareholder. Shareholders who vote by telephone will be able to utilize a toll-free telephone number, the cost of which is borne by the Trust.
1
For Shares Registered Directly in the Name of the Shareholder
Shareholders with shares registered directly in their name in the Trusts stock records maintained by its transfer agent, EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (EquiServe), may vote their shares in any of the following ways:
| by telephone by calling (toll-free) 1-877-779-8683, |
| via the Internet at the following address on the World Wide Web: http://www.eproxyvote.com/uht |
| by mailing their signed proxy card, or |
| by attending the meeting and voting in person. |
Specific instructions to be followed by registered shareholders are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. Votes submitted by telephone or via the Internet through EquiServe as described herein must be received by 12:00 Midnight, Eastern Time on June 1, 2003.
For Shares Registered in the Name of a Brokerage Firm or Bank
A number of brokerage firms and banks are participating in separate programs that offer telephone and/or Internet voting options. Such programs are different from the programs provided by EquiServe for shares registered directly in the name of the shareholder. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank participating in any such program, you may vote those shares by telephone and/or via the Internet in accordance with instructions set forth on the voting form provided to you by the brokerage firm or bank that holds your shares.
Only holders of record of the shares of beneficial interest of the Trust, par value $.01 per share (the Shares), at the close of business on April 22, 2003 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. On that date, there were 11,707,858 Shares outstanding. Each Share is entitled to one vote on each of the matters to be presented at the meeting. Shareholders entitled to vote for the election of the Trustees can withhold authority to vote for them. Each nominee will be elected if he receives a plurality of the votes cast. Broker non-votes are treated as Shares as to which the beneficial owners have withheld voting authority and therefore are shares not entitled to vote on the matter. As of April 22, 2003, the Trusts current Trustees and officers as a group owned of record or beneficially 107,058 Shares, (excluding Shares issuable upon exercise of options), representing .91% of the outstanding Shares.
A copy of the Trusts Annual Report to Shareholders, including financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, is enclosed.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth as of February 28, 2003, the number of shares and the percentage of outstanding Shares owned beneficially, within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13d-3, (i) by each person who is known by the Trust to own beneficially more than 5% of its Shares (ii) by each Trustee and Trustee nominee and each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table and (iii) by all Trustees and executive officers of the Trust as a group.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Maryland as a real estate investment trust on August 6, 1986. Trustees of the Trust, Mr. Miller and Mr. Cain, assumed their positions with the Trust at the inception of the Trust. Mr. Tanenbaum was elected in November 1990, Mr. Gorman was elected in December 1994, Mr. Dalton was elected in December 1997, Mr. Berger was elected in December 1998 and Dr. Sussman was elected in 1999. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees of the Trust have been divided into three classes, with staggered terms. The terms of the Trustees in Class II expire at this meeting, the terms of the Trustees in Class III expire at the 2004 Annual Meeting and the terms of the Trustees in Class I expire at the 2005 Annual Meeting. At each Annual Meeting, Trustees are elected for a term of three years to succeed those in the class whose term is expiring at such Annual Meeting.
The persons listed below currently constitute the Trusts Board of Trustees. The nominees for the Class II Trustees are Daniel M. Cain and James E. Dalton, Jr., with terms expiring at the 2003 Annual Meeting. They have been nominated to be elected for three-year terms. The Trustees have no reason to believe that the nominees will be unavailable for election; however, if the nominees become unavailable for any reason, the shares represented by the Proxy will be voted for the persons, if any, who are designated by the Board of Trustees to replace the nominees. The nominees have consented to be named and have indicated their intent to serve if elected.
Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, a majority of the Trusts Trustees must be Independent Trustees with each class of Trustees containing at least one Independent Trustee. The Declaration of Trust defines an Independent Trustee as a Trustee who is not an affiliate of Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS), the parent company of the Trusts Advisor, and does not perform any services for the Trust, except as Trustee.

Report of Compensation and Benefits Committee
During 1997, the Trusts Board of Trustees approved the Universal Health Realty Income Trust 1997 Incentive Plan (The Plan), which is a stock option and dividend equivalent rights plan for the employees of the Trust, including officers and directors. A combined total of 400,000 shares and dividend equivalent rights have been reserved for issuance under The Plan. As of December 31, 2002, there was a combined total of 188,000 stock options and dividend equivalent rights available for issuance pursuant to the terms of The Plan. Since inception of The Plan, there have been 106,000 stock options with dividend equivalent rights granted (net of cancellations).

The Compensation and Benefits Committee, which is composed of independent trustees of the Trust, believes that in the general absence of cash compensation, it is important to provide the officers of the Trust, including the chief executive officer, an incentive to increase shareholder value by awarding equity based compensation. Because the substantial portion of the return of real estate investment trusts like the Trust is comprised of the dividend payable on the shares rather than share price appreciation, the Committee believes that the 1997 Incentive Plan with its dividend equivalent rights feature provides the appropriate incentive for eligible participants. In recognition of Mr. Gormans special efforts on behalf of the Trust, the Committee awarded Mr. Gorman a special annual cash bonus of $50,000 during 2002, 2001 and 2000. As Mr. Gorman was compensated by UHS which, as the Trusts advisor, receives an advisory fee, UHS had agreed to reduce this advisory fee in each of the last three years by the amount of Mr. Gormans bonus thus resulting in no net cost to the Trust. The Committee will evaluate from time to time the compensation payable to its officers in light of the performance of the Trust, the individuals involved and competitive factors.

During 2002, each Independent Trustee was paid by the Trust annual compensation of $10,000 for service as a Trustee plus $1,000 for attendance in person at each meeting of the Board of Trustees plus an additional $500 for attendance for each Committee meeting thereof on a day on which the Board of Trustees did not meet. In addition, the Trust reimbursed all Trustees for travel expenses incurred in connection with their duties as Trustees of the Trust. In 1992, the Board of Trustees and the shareholders adopted a Share Compensation Plan For Outside Trustees, pursuant to which Trustees may elect to receive their annual compensation in the form of Shares in lieu of cash. As of December 31, 2002, no shares have been issued under the terms of this plan.
During 1997, the Trusts Board of Trustees approved the Universal Health Realty Income Trust 1997 Incentive Plan (The Plan), which is a stock option and dividend equivalent rights (DERs) plan for the employees of the Trust, including officers and Trustees. The Plan was adopted by the shareholders at the 1998 Annual Shareholders Meeting. There are a combined total of 400,000 shares and DERs reserved for issuance under The Plan. In connection with this plan, in September, 2002, Messrs. Daniel M. Cain, James E. Dalton Jr., Miles L. Berger, Myles H. Tanenbaum and Elliott J. Sussman, M.D., M.B.A. each received 1,000 stock options and 1,000 dividend equivalent rights, with an exercise price of $27.65 per share representing the closing sale price of the Trusts shares of beneficial interest on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2002, including the stock options and DERs issued during 2002, there were 4,500 stock options and 4,500 DERs issued and outstanding to each of Messrs. Cain, Tanenbaum, Dalton, and Berger and 2,000 stock options and 2,000 DERs issued and outstanding to Elliot J. Sussman, M.D., M.B.A.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Relationship with Universal Health Services, Inc.
The Advisor and the Advisory Agreement
The Trust, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, including all the Trustees who are unaffiliated with UHS (the Independent Trustees), entered into an Advisory Agreement with UHS of Delaware, Inc. (the Advisor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS), pursuant to an Advisory Agreement dated December 24, 1986 (the Advisory Agreement). The Advisory Agreement expires on December 31 of each year, however, it is renewable by the Trust, subject to a determination by the Independent Trustees that the Advisors performance has been satisfactory. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason upon sixty days written notice by the Trust or the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement has been renewed for 2003. Mr. Alan B. Miller serves as Director and President of the Advisor and Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of UHS and Mr. Steve G. Filton serves as Director and Vice President of the Advisor and Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Controller of UHS. Mr. Alan B. Miller is Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Trust, Charles F. Boyle is Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Controller of the Trust, Cheryl K. Ramagano is Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary of the Trust, Timothy J. Fowler is Vice President, Acquisitions and Development of the Trust and Bruce R. Gilbert, General Counsel of UHS, serves as General Counsel to the Trust. Through 2002, Mr. Kirk E. Gorman served as Director and Vice President of the Advisor, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of UHS and President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Trust. Subsequent to December 31, 2002, Mr. Gorman ceased being the Director and Vice President of the Advisor and Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of UHS and also ceased being the President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Trust. Pursuant to an agreement between Mr. Gorman and UHS, Mr. Gorman will remain an employee of UHS for up to eight months to assist UHS with various projects.
The Trusts officers are all employees of UHS and as of December 31, 2002, the Trust had no salaried employees. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, Mr. Kirk E. Gorman, current Trustee of the Trust and former President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary received a $50,000 annual bonus awarded by the Trustees, subject to UHS agreeing to a $50,000 reduction in the advisory fee paid by the Trust.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to the Trust, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the Trust), to provide administrative services to the Trust and to conduct the Trusts day-to-day affairs. In performing its services under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize independent professional services, including accounting, legal and other services, for which the Advisor is reimbursed directly by the Trust, but only if such services are first approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Trust paid the Advisor approximately $1.4 million in 2002, $1.3 million in 2001 and $1.3 million in 2000. The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee equal to .60% of the average invested real estate assets of the Trust, as derived from its consolidated balance sheet from time to time. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to an annual incentive fee equal to 20% of the amount by which cash available for distribution to shareholders for each year, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, exceeds 15% of the Trusts equity as shown on its consolidated balance sheet, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles without reduction for return of capital
12
dividends. No incentive fees were paid during 2002, 2001 and 2000. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to adjustment at year end based upon the audited financial statements of the Trust.
The Advisory Agreement does not restrict the Advisor from rendering advice to other investors (including other real estate investment trusts) or from managing other investments, including those of investors or investments advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor. The Advisor also may render such services to joint ventures and partnerships in which the Trust is a co-venturer or partner and to the other entities in such joint ventures and partnerships, and the Advisor is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the Trust. There is no restriction on the right of any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Advisor, or any affiliate of UHS, to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any corporation, partnership or other entity (including competitive business activities). The Advisor has informed the Board of Trustees that it does not presently intend to provide advisory services to any other real estate investment trust and has agreed to inform the Board of any change in such intention.
Properties and Leases
The Trust effectively commenced business on December 24, 1986, the closing date for the purchase for properties from certain subsidiaries of UHS in exchange for shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value, in the Trust. The acquired properties were immediately leased back to the respective subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2002, subsidiaries of UHS leased six of the eight hospital facilities owned by the Trust with terms expiring in 2004 through 2008. The leases with subsidiaries of UHS are guaranteed by UHS and are cross-defaulted with one another. These leases contain remaining renewal options ranging from two to five, five-year periods. These leases accounted for 64% of the total revenue of the Trust for the five years ended December 31, 2002 (60% for the year ended December 31, 2002). Including 100% of the revenues generated at the unconsolidated LLCs in which the Trust has various non-controlling equity interests ranging from 33% to 99%, the UHS leases accounted for 40% of the combined consolidated and unconsolidated revenue for the five years ended December 31, 2002 (29% for the year ended December 31, 2002).
The lease with Chalmette Medical Center, a subsidiary of UHS, was scheduled to expire in March, 2003. During the third quarter of 2002, the lessee gave the Trust the required notice to exercise its renewal option and extend the lease for another five-year term. In accordance with the terms of the lease the renewal rate on this facility was based upon the five-year Treasury rate on March 29, 2003, plus a spread, and based on the Treasury rate on that date, the annual base rental on this facility will be reduced by approximately $270,000.
In July, 2002, the operations of Inland Valley Regional Medical Center (Inland Valley) were merged with the operations of Rancho Springs Medical Center (Rancho Springs), an acute care hospital located in California and also operated by UHS, the real estate assets of which are not owned by the Trust. Inland Valley, the Trusts lessee, was merged into Universal Health Services of Rancho Springs, Inc. The merged entity is now doing business as Southwest Healthcare System (Southwest Healthcare). As a result of merging the operations of the two facilities, the revenues of Southwest Healthcare include the revenues of both Inland Valley and Rancho Springs. Although the Trust does not own the real estate assets of the Rancho Springs facility, Southwest Healthcare became the lessee on the lease relating to the real estate assets of the Inland Valley campus. Since the bonus rent calculation for the Inland Valley campus is based on net revenues and the financial results of the two facilities are no longer separable, the lease was amended during 2002 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation, the estimated net revenues generated at the Rancho Springs campus. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, the consolidation of the two facilities as mentioned above, had on the underlying value of Inland Valley.
13
During the first quarter of 2001, UHS purchased the assets and operations of the 60-bed McAllen Heart Hospital located in McAllen, Texas. Upon the acquisition by UHS, the Heart Hospital began operating under the same license as an integrated department of McAllen Medical Center. As a result of combining the operations of the two facilities, the revenues of McAllen Medical Center include revenues generated by the Heart Hospital, the real property of which is not owned by the Trust. Accordingly, since the bonus rent calculation for McAllen Medical Center is based on net revenues and since the financial results of the two facilities are no longer separable, the McAllen Medical Center lease was amended during 2001 to exclude from the bonus rent calculation, the estimated net revenues generated at the Heart Hospital. Base rental commitments and the guarantee by UHS under the original lease continue for the remainder of the lease terms. During 2000, UHS purchased a non-acute care facility located in McAllen, Texas that had been closed. The license for this facility was merged with the license for McAllen Medical Center and this non-acute facility, the real property of which is not owned by the Trust, was re-opened during 2001. There was no amendment to the McAllen Medical Center lease related to this non-acute care facility. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, the consolidation of the two facilities as mentioned above, had on the underlying value of McAllen Medical Center.
During 2001, McAllen Hospitals, L.P., a subsidiary of UHS, exercised their option to renew their lease with the Trust at substantially the same terms for another five years commencing January 1, 2002 and expiring December 31, 2006.
During the second quarter of 2000, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS exercised its option pursuant to the lease to purchase the leased property upon the December 31, 2000 expiration of the initial lease. Pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, three appraisals were obtained to determine the fair market value of the property and accordingly, the sale price was determined to be $5,450,000. This sale was completed in December, 2000 resulting in a gain of approximately $1.9 million which is included in the Trusts 2000 results of operations. Also during 2000, the Trust invested $2.0 million to acquire a 98% interest in a LLC that purchased the Summerlin Hospital Medical Office Building II which is connected to the Summerlin Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. This medical office building was purchased from a LLC in which UHS holds a 72% ownership interest. The purchase price paid for the property to the UHS majority-owned LLC was $10.5 million. The Trust made a cash investment of $2.0 million, and the LLC, which is majority-owned by the Trust, obtained a $9.8 million third-party mortgage which is non-recourse to the Trust to fund the balance of the purchase price and finance tenant improvements.
Pursuant to the terms of the leases with UHS, the lessees have rights of first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for 180 days after the lease terms at the same price, terms and conditions of any third-party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term at the same terms and conditions pursuant to any third-party offer. The leases also grant the lessees options, exercisable on at least six months notice, to purchase the respective leased facilities at the end of the lease term or any renewal term at the facilitys then fair market value. The terms of the leases also provide that in the event UHS discontinues operations at the leased facility for more than one year, or elects to terminate its lease prior to the expiration of its term for prudent business reasons, UHS is obligated to offer a substitution property. If the Trust does not accept the substitution property offered, UHS is obligated to purchase the leased facility back from the Trust at a price equal to the greater of its then fair market value or the original purchase price paid by the Trust. As of December 31, 2002, the aggregate fair market value of the Trusts facilities leased to subsidiaries of UHS is not known, however, the aggregate original purchase price paid by the Trust for these properties was $112.5 million. All transactions with UHS must be approved by the Independent Trustees. The purchase options and rights of first refusal granted to the respective lessees to purchase or lease the respective leased facilities, after the expiration of the lease term, may adversely affect the Trusts ability to sell or lease a
14
facility, and may present a potential conflict of interest between the Trust and UHS since the price and terms offered by a third-party are likely to be dependent, in part, upon the financial performance of the facility during the final years of the lease term.
Management of the Trust cannot predict whether the leases with subsidiaries of UHS, which have renewal options at existing lease rates, or any of the Trusts other leases, will be renewed at the end of their lease terms. If the leases are not renewed at their current rates, the Trust would be required to find other operators for those facilities and/or enter into leases on terms potentially less favorable to the Trust than the current leases.
Share Purchase Option
UHS has the option to purchase shares of beneficial interest in the Trust at fair market value to maintain a 5% interest in the Trust. As of December 31, 2002, UHS owned 6.6% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE
The Compensation and Benefits Committee was established December 1, 1988 and is responsible for administering the 1997 Incentive Plan. It has full authority in its discretion from time to time, and at any time, to select those employees of the Trust, as the term employee is defined in the plan, to whom options will be granted, to determine the number of options subject thereto, the times at which such options shall be granted, the time at which the options shall vest, and the terms and conditions of the agreements to be entered into by the employees with the Trust. The Compensation and Benefits Committee did not meet in 2002. Members of this Committee are Elliot J. Sussman, M.D., Daniel M. Cain and Miles L. Berger.
In March, 2003, the Board of Trustees adopted a Compensation and Benefits Committee Charter and a Nominating Committee Charter to detail the role and responsibilities of each committee.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee is responsible for providing assistance to the Board of Trustees in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to corporate accounting and reporting practices and in maintaining a direct line of communication between the Trustees and the independent accountants. It appoints the Trusts independent auditor, reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent auditors and considers the adequacy of the internal accounting and control procedures of the Company. The Audit Committee met six times in 2002. Members of this Committee are Myles H. Tanenbaum, Daniel M. Cain and James E. Dalton, Jr.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Board of Trustees of the Trust is committed to the accuracy and integrity of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee takes an involved and active role in delivering on this commitment.
The Audit Committee provides independent, objective oversight of the Trusts accounting functions and internal controls.
The Committee reviews and evaluates, and discusses and consults with the Trusts management and the independent auditors about the following:
| the plan for, and the independent auditors report on, each audit of the Trusts financial statements; |
| changes in the Trusts accounting practices, principles, controls or methodologies, or in the Trusts financial statements; |
15
| significant developments in accounting rules; |
| the adequacy of the Trusts internal accounting controls, and accounting, financial and auditing personnel; and |
| the establishment and maintenance of an environment at the Trust that promotes ethical behavior. |
The Audit Committee acts under a written charter first adopted and approved by the Board of Trustees in 2000. The Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Trusts Board of Directors with respect to various auditing, accounting, financial reporting, internal control and regulatory compliance matters. In discharging its oversight role, the Audit Committee may engage independent counsel and other advisers as it determines necessary. In accordance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee also has the direct responsibility to select, evaluate, determine the compensation of, oversee, and where appropriate, replace our independent auditors, and has the authority to resolve disagreements between management and our auditors. The Audit Committee may establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Trust regarding accounting and auditing matters, as well as confidential, anonymous submission by employees. The Trusts Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the audit committee is independent within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The Audit Committee recommends to the Board that the Trusts financial statements be included in the Trusts annual report. The Committee took a number of steps in making this recommendation for 2002:
| First, the Committee discussed with the Trusts independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audits. |
| Second, the Committee met with the independent auditors, without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Trusts internal controls and the overall quality of the Trusts financial reporting. |
| Third, the Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. |
| Fourth, the Committee reviewed with the independent auditors their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Trusts accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. |
| Finally, the Committee discussed with the independent auditors the auditors independence from management and the Trust, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors independence. |
The Audit Committee reviewed the Trusts financial statements with the Board and discussed with KPMG LLP during the 2002 fiscal year, the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standard No. 61. The Audit Committee received from KPMG LLP, the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and discussed with them their independence. Based on these discussions with KPMG LLP and the financial statement review, and such other matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the financial statements be included in the Trusts 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
On June 18, 2002, the Trust informed its independent accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP (Andersen), that they would be dismissed effective as of June 18, 2002. The reports of Andersen on the Trusts financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During its audits for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the subsequent interim period through June 18, 2002 (i) there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Andersens satisfaction, would have caused Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in their reports, and (ii) there have been no reportable events as defined in Item 301(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Trusts Board of Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, authorized the dismissal of Andersen and appointment of KPMG LLP. The Trust has retained KPMG LLP as its independent accountants, effective June 18, 2002. Pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Trust has requested Andersen to furnish it a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter was filed as an Exhibit to the Trusts current report on Form 8-K filed June 18, 2002. During the Trusts two most recent fiscal years, and for the subsequent interim period through June 18, 2002, neither the Trust nor anyone acting on behalf of the Trust consulted with KPMG LLP regarding any of the items described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
The Audit Committee is continuing to evaluate the Trusts engagement of KPMG LLP. It is anticipated that representatives of the Trusts independent public accountants will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and to respond to any appropriate inquiries of the stockholders or their representatives.
For the period of January 1, 2002 through June 17, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP provided services in the following categories and amounts:
