    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.
