a) | Represents the gain on settlement/mark to market of interest rate protection agreements
that do not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. |
|
b) | Represents the Companys share of net income, depreciation and amortization of real estate
and accumulated depreciation and amortization on real estate sold from the Companys joint
ventures in which it owns minority equity interests. |
|
c) | In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (FAS
144). FAS 144 requires that the operations and gain (loss) on sale of qualifying properties sold
and properties that are classified as held for sale be presented in discontinued operations. FAS
144 also requires that prior periods be restated. |
|
d) | Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize FFO, NOI, EBITDA and
FAD, variously defined, as supplemental performance measures. While the Company believes net
income available to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate measure,
it considers FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD, given their wide use by and relevance to investors and
analysts, appropriate supplemental performance measures. FFO, reflecting the assumption that
real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the
effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. NOI provides a measure
of rental operations, and does not factor in depreciation and amortization and non-property
specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. EBITDA provides a tool to
further evaluate the ability to incur and service debt and to fund dividends and other cash
needs. FAD provides a tool to further evaluate the ability
to fund dividends. In addition, FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD are commonly used in various ratios,
pricing multiples/yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial
position, performance and value. |
|
The Company calculates FFO to be equal to net income available to common stockholders, plus
depreciation and amortization on real estate, minus accumulated depreciation and amortization
on real estate sold. |
||
NOI is defined as revenues of the Company, minus property expenses such as real estate taxes,
repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses. NOI
includes NOI from discontinued operations. |
||
EBITDA is defined as NOI, plus the equity in FFO of the Companys joint ventures, which are
accounted for under the equity method of accounting, plus Net Economic Gains, minus general and
administrative expenses. EBITDA includes EBITDA from discontinued operations. |
||
FAD is defined as EBITDA, minus GAAP interest expense, minus preferred stock dividends, minus
straight-line rental income, minus provision for income taxes, plus restricted stock
amortization, minus non-incremental capital expenditures. Non-incremental capital expenditures
are building improvements and leasing costs required to maintain current revenues. |
||
FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD do not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs,
including the repayment of principal on debt and payment of dividends and distributions. FFO,
NOI, EBITDA and FAD should not be considered as substitutes for net income available to common
stockholders (calculated in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of results of operations, or
cash flows
(calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD, as
calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled, but variously calculated,
measures of other REITs or to the definition of FFO published by NAREIT. |
||
The Company also reports Net Economic Gains, which, effectively, measure the value created in
the Companys capital recycling activities. Net Economic Gains are calculated by subtracting
from gain on sale of real estate (calculated in accordance with GAAP, including gains on sale
of real estate classified as discontinued operations) the recapture of accumulated depreciation
and amortization on real estate sold (excluding the recapture of accumulated amortization
related to above/below market leases and lease inducements as this amortization is included in
revenues and FFO) and the provision for income taxes (excluding taxes associated with joint
ventures). |
||
In addition, the Company considers cash-basis same store NOI (SS NOI) to be a useful
supplemental measure of its operating performance. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2006,
the Company adopted the following definition of its same store pool of properties: Same store
properties, for the period beginning January 1, 2007, include all
properties owned January 1, 2006 and held as an operating property
through the end of the current reporting period and developments that were placed in service or
were substantially completed for 12 months prior to January 1, 2006 (the Same Store Pool).
The Company defines SS NOI as NOI, less NOI of properties not in the Same Store Pool, less the
impact of straight-line rent and the amortization of above/below market rent. For the quarters
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, NOI was $69,514 and $61,595, respectively; NOI of properties not
in the Same Store Pool was $13,732 and $8,937 respectively; the impact of straight-line rent
and the amortization of above/below
market rent was $2,158 and $2,678, respectively. The Company excludes straight-line rents and
above/below market rent amortization in calculating SS NOI because the Company believes it
provides a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison.
In addition, the Company believes that SS NOI helps the investing public compare the operating
performance of a companys real estate as compared to other companies. While SS NOI is a
relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it
does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating
performance. SS NOI also does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest
expenses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or
trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact our results from
operations. Further, the Companys computation of SS NOI may not be comparable to that of other
real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating SS NOI. |

e) | Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the diluted weighted average number of shares/units outstanding and the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding are the same as the basic weighted average number of shares/units outstanding and the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively, for periods in which continuing operations is a loss, as the dilutive
effect of stock options and restricted stock would be antidilutive to the loss from continuing operations per share. |
