Pursuant to the definition of Funds from Operations (“FFO”) adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

The Company believes that FFO is useful to investors because it provides an additional indicator of the Company’s financial and operating performance. This is because, by excluding the effect of real estate depreciation and gains (or losses) from sales of properties (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance among equity REITs. FFO is a widely recognized measure in the Company’s industry. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions.

Divisional NOI is defined as total property revenues, including unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, less real estate expenses (such items as repairs and maintenance, payroll, utilities, property taxes, insurance, advertising, management fees).

The Company believes Total Divisional NOI (and other NOI measures aggregating segment data) is useful to investors as a meaningful indicator of property level operating performance and current market conditions affecting the Company . Additionally, the Company also believes Total Divisional NOI (and such other NOI measures) is useful to investors because NOI is commonly used industry-wide to evaluate and compare property level operating results of real estate companies, allowing investors to view the Company in comparison to these other real estate companies. The Company cautions investors that other real estate companies may calculate Total Divisional NOI on a basis different than the Company. In addition, Total Divisional NOI (and such other NOI measures) should not be viewed as a substitute measure of performance for GAAP income from continuing operations or other applicable GAAP performance measures.
