Beginning with the first quarter of 2003, the Company calculated and reported FFO and FFO per share in accordance with NAREIT's April 2002 White Paper. NAREIT defines FFO as "The most commonly accepted and reported measure of REIT operating performance equal to a REIT's net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and adding back real estate depreciation." Funds available for distribution ("FAD") and FAD per share are also operating performance measures adopted by NAREIT that measure a REIT's ability to generate cash and distribute dividends to its shareholders. NAREIT defines FAD as "In addition to subtracting from FFO normalized recurring real estate expenditures and other non-cash items, FAD is usually derived by also subtracting nonrecurring expenditures." The Company considers FFO and FAD to be informative measures of REIT performance commonly used in the REIT industry. However, neither FFO nor FAD represents cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO and FAD should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
