The results of operations presented in this release include TPGI’s results of operations for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

TPGI’s share of after tax cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure), for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $4,028,000 or $0.17 per share compared to after tax cash flow of $3,755,000 or $0.26 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2006.

We define after tax cash flow (ATCF) as net income (loss) excluding the following items: deferred income taxes, minority interest, non- cash charges for depreciation and amortization, amortization of loan costs, non-cash compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments and fair market value rent adjustments. ATCF is further described in note (c) to the financial statements below.

Thomas, President and CEO. “We are continuing to execute on our development program, a key driver in our growth strategy. Our balance sheet is stable, and we have a strong cash position which should allow us to take advantage of opportunities to enhance the value of our company.”

(a) EBDT is a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We define EBDT as net income (loss) excluding the following items: i) deferred income tax expense (benefit); ii) minority interests; iii) non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization; and iv) amortization of loan costs. EBDT provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from changes to occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development and redevelopment activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, and provides perspective on operating performance not immediately apparent from net income. EBDT should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. EBDT also assists management in identifying trends for purposes of financial planning and forecasting results. However, the usefulness of EBDT as a performance measure is limited and EBDT should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. EBDT also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP).

 

(b) Based on an interest in our operating partnership of 60.5% and 45.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 56.1% and 45.3% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

(c) ATCF is a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We define ATCF as net income (loss) excluding the following items: i) deferred income tax expense (benefit); ii) minority interests; iii) non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization; iv) amortization of loan costs; v) non-cash compensation expense; vi) the adjustment to recognize rental revenues using the straight-line method; and vii) the adjustment to rental revenue to reflect the fair market value of rents. Management utilizes ATCF data in assessing performance of our business operations in period-to-period comparisons and for financial planning purposes. ATCF should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. ATCF should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. ATCF also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP).
