(1) FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) to mean net income computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales
of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management
uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the Company's
business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net
income by itself as the primary measure of the Company's operating
performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance
with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes
predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically
risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the
presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use
historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the
primary indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative
to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, while the Company adheres to
the NAREIT definition of FFO, its presentation of FFO is not necessarily
comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that
not all REITs use the same definition.
