("NAREIT"). 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." The Company considers FFO to be an informative measure of REIT performance commonly used in the REIT industry. However, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. (2) Net income includes non-cash deferred compensation of $686 and $581, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and $2.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2002 includes an $11.8 million charge related to the retirement of one executive officer and the elimination of several other officer and employee positions in the fourth quarter of 2002.
