(A) The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT)
developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance
and liquidity of an equity REIT in order to recognize that
income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the
basis determined under GAAP. FFO is a widely used measure of the
operating performance of real estate companies and is provided here as
a supplemental measure to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) net income available to common shareholders and earnings per
share. FFO, as defined under the revised NAREIT definition and
presented by us, is net income, computed in accordance with GAAP,
excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating
properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization,
and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures
and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships,
joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on
the same basis. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not
represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not
indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is
not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP
measure as a measurement of the results of the Company's operations or
the Company's cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.
