Note 2 - Basis of Preparation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of OLP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. All investments in joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of the venture. As a result, none of the Company’s joint ventures are variable interest entities. In addition, although the Company is the managing member of these joint ventures, it does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to the Company.

Certain amounts reported in previous consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current periods’ presentation, primarily to reclassify the assets of one property, which was sold in May 2011, to property held for sale at December 31, 2010 and to reclassify the operations of this property to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. In addition, the operations of one property, which was sold in September 2010, were reclassified to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
