Reconciliation of Net Income to Funds From Operations (FFO) (Unaudited)

Net income (1)
  $ 25,759     $ 13,581  
Depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges
    14,743       16,068  
Straight-line and other rent adjustments
    1,075       1,005  
FFO adjustment to earnings from equity investments
    1,713       1,110

FFO
  $ 38,750     $ 27,440  
 
           
FFO per share (2)
  $ 0.33     $ 0.24  
 
           
Weighted average shares outstanding
    128,978,875       128,796,569  
 
           
 
(1)    2008 net income includes $9,111 of advisor settlement income in connection with the advisor’s settlement of the SEC investigation.
 
(2)     FFO per share includes an adjustment of $3,979 and $3,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to account for the issuance of shares to an affiliate in satisfaction of fees due. These shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding but are not a reconciling adjustment in the determination of FFO.
Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Funds from operations (FFO) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in evaluating real estate companies. Although the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) has published a definition of FFO, real estate companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of a company’s operating performance or to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity. It should be used in conjunction with GAAP net income. FFO disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our FFO calculation.
NAREIT’s definition of FFO adjusts GAAP net income to exclude depreciation and gains/losses from the sales of properties and adjusts for FFO applicable to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with this definition and then include other adjustments to GAAP net income to adjust for certain non-cash charges such as amortization of intangibles, straight-line rents, impairment charges on real estate and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. We exclude these items from GAAP net income as they are not the primary drivers in our decision making process. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long term sustainability and not on such non-cash items which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but that have no impact on cash flows.
