(2) - The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust ("NAREIT") definition of Funds from Operations ("FFO"), which was adopted for periods beginning after January 1, 1996. FFO for any period means the consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries for such period excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation of real estate assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, all determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company's FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current NAREIT definition. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs or ability to service indebtedness or make distributions. (3) - As of December 31, 1996, there were 27,145,386 units of the Operating Partnership outstanding, of which 21,922,393 were owned by the Company. The weighted average shares and units outstanding for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 1996 was 27,103,557 and 26,917,723, respectively. (4) - Calculated for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. (5) - Interest coverage ratio is defined as consolidated income available for debt service divided by interest expense. For purposes of this calculation, consolidated net income available for debt service represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and extraordinary items. (6) - Fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as consolidated income available for debt service divided by the sum of interest expense and dividends to preferred shareholders. For purposes of this calculation, net income available for debt service represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and extraordinary items. 3 POST PROPERTIES, INC.
