would be increased by $2,410 and $1,739 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Pursuant to the definition of Funds from Operations ("FFO")
adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), FFO is calculated by
adjusting net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP),
excluding gains from sales of depreciated property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to
reflect FFO on the same basis.
Given the nature of the Company's business as a real estate owner
and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to
investors as a measure of its operational performance and FFO is
a widely recognized measure in the Company's industry. FFO does
not represent cash generated from operating activities determined
in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an
alternative to net cash flows from operating activities
(determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of our
liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash
distributions. In addition, the comparability of the Company's
FFO with the FFO reported by other REITs may be affected by the
differences that exist regarding certain accounting policies
relating to expenditures for repairs and other recurring items.
