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) before minority interest of unit holders (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 not be considered as an alternative for net income as a measure of profitability or 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.
