(1)Funds from operations (''FFO'') is calculated according to the definition

       of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
       and is comprised primarily of net income and depreciation from real
       estate, but is not adjusted for certain non-cash income and expense
       items.
       Gains on the sale of real estate properties are excluded from FFO and
       FFO per share, while impairments are included in FFO and FFO per share.
    (2)FFO and Funds Available For Distribution ('FAD') do not represent cash
       generated from operating activities determined in accordance with
       accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are
       not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.  FFO
       and FAD should not be considered alternatives to net income as
       indicators of the Company's operating performance or as alternatives to
       cash flow as measures of liquidity.
