    Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measurement used by
    real estate investment trusts ("REITs") to measure and compare operating
    performance. As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss)
    (computed in accordance with GAAP, accounting principles generally
    accepted in the United States of America), excluding gains (or losses)
    from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related
    depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred
    financing costs and depreciation of non real estate assets) and after
    adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
    Management considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the
    Company's operating and financial performance because when compared year
    over year, it reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy
    rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses
    and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from
    net income. In addition, management believes that FFO provides useful
    information about the Company's financial performance when compared to
    other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard
    for reporting the operations of REITs. FFO should neither be considered
    as an alternative for net income as a measure of profitability nor is it
    comparable to cash flows provided by operating activities determined in
    accordance with GAAP. FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled items
    reported by other REITs that do not define them exactly as we define FFO.
