    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
