    (1)  Funds from operations ("FFO") is calculated according to the
         definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
         Trusts ("NAREIT") 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.
