Amounts paid in cash for deferred leasing costs incurred in connection with signed leases with tenants are paid in conjunction with improving (acquiring) property, plant and equipment. Such costs are not contained within net real estate. However, they are integral to the completion of a tenant lease and ultimately are related to the improvement and thus the value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment. They are therefore included in investing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
