================= =============== =============== ===============
Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measurement used by real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") to measure and compare operating performance.
As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss) before minority interest
of unit holders (computed in accordance with GAAP, accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America), excluding gains (or losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related
depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing
costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management considers FFO to be
an appropriate supplemental measure of the Company's operating and financial
performance because when compared year over year, it reflects the impact to
operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs,
general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective
not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that
FFO provides useful information about the Company's financial performance when
compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry
standard for reporting the operations of REITs. FFO should not be considered as
an alternative for net income as a measure of profitability or is it comparable
to cash flows provided by operating activities determined in accordance with
GAAP. FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs
that do not define them exactly as we define FFO.
