EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
Amortization.” Management considers EBITDA a supplemental measure
for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of its
segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to
the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold
based on a multiple of EBITDA, management utilizes this measure to
make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of
its assets to that of its peers. EBITDA should not be considered a
substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures employed by other companies.

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the
Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or
loss determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items as defined under
GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated
operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as
real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO
is used by management, investors and industry analysts as
supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. FFO
should be evaluated along with GAAP net income and income per
diluted share (the most directly comparable GAAP measures), as well
as cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and
financing activities, in evaluating the operating performance of
equity REITs. Management believes that FFO is helpful to investors
as supplemental performance measures because these measures exclude
the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from
sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs
which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes
predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have
historically risen or fallen with market conditions, these non-GAAP
measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between
periods and among other equity REITs. FFO does not represent cash
generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is
not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as
disclosed in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an
indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
