ITEM 2.02.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
On February 9, 2012, the Registrant issued a press release announcing its results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2011.  The related press release and supplemental information referred to in the press release are furnished as Exhibit 99 hereto.
 
The attached includes a presentation of Home Properties' Funds from Operations ("FFO") and Net Operating Income ("NOI"). FFO does and NOI may fall within the definition of "non-GAAP financial measures" set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and as a result Home Properties is or may be required to include in this Current Report a statement disclosing the reasons why management believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors.  The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate company because, along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors an understanding of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and to make capital expenditures.  Home Properties believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of the Company's apartment properties.  The Company also uses these two measures to compare its performance to that of its peer group.
