NOTE: Quarterly and year-to-date computations of per share amounts are
made independently. Therefore, the sum of per share amounts for the
quarters may not agree with the per share amounts for the year.
Computations of per share amounts from continuing operations,
discontinued operations and net income are made independently.
Therefore, the sum of per share amounts from continuing operations
and discontinued operations may not agree with the per share amounts
from net income available to common stockholders.
Reconciliation of Funds From Operations ("FFO")
FFO is a supplemental measure of a REIT's financial performance
that is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. We define FFO as net income available to common
stockholders adjusted to exclude the gains or losses on the sale
of assets and adjusted to add back impairment charges, real estate
depreciation and other non-cash charges. Other REITs may not use
this definition of FFO and therefore, caution should be exercised
when comparing our company's FFO to that of other REITs. FFO is
used in the REIT industry as a supplemental measure of financial
performance, but is not a substitute for net income per share
available to common stockholders determined in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The following table reconciles net income available to common
stockholders to funds from operations available to common
stockholders (unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts):
