This charge resulted in announced (loss) earnings per share of $(0.04) and $0.27 for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively, and funds from operations Funds From Operations (FFO) Used by real estate and other investment trusts to define the cash flow from trust operations; earnings with depreciation and amortization added back.

Upon further review of the accounting guidance contained in SFAS 123 as it applies to the settlement of options that had originally been issued under Accounting Principles Board The Accounting Principles Board (APB) is the former authoritative body of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It was created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in 1959 and issued pronouncements on accounting principles until 1973, Opinion No. 25, the Company and its auditors concluded that the earnings charge should have been limited to the cash paid in excess of the fair value of the options at the settlement date. Such excess amounted to $300,000. The amount representing the fair value of the options settled should be charged directly against shareholders' equity Shareholders' Equity A firms' total assets minus its total liabilities. Equivalently, it is share capital plus retained earnings minus treasury shares. Shareholders' equity is the amount by which a company is financed through common and preferred shares. . Accordingly the original charge recorded by the Company against earnings has been reduced by $750,000, before minority interest, to reflect the portion of the settlement charge made directly against shareholders' equity. As such, the Company is currently announcing revised (loss) earnings per share of $(0.02) and $0.29 for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively, and FFO per share of $0.22 and $0.95 for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. This revision has no effect on the Company's assets, liabilities or aggregate shareholders' equity and minority interest. The following tables have been revised to reflect the effect of the above revision and supercede Verb 1. supercede - take the place or move into the position of; "Smith replaced Miller as CEO after Miller left"; "the computer has supplanted the slide rule"; "Mary replaced Susan as the team's captain and the highest-ranked player in the school" the tables contained in Acadia's February 17, 2004 press release:

Notes:
(a) Reflects the potential impact if certain Preferred OP Units and
Common Share options were converted to Common Shares at the
beginning of the period. Assuming such conversion, net income
would be increased by $36 and $50 for the quarters ended December
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $185 and $199 for the years
then ended.
(b) The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO") as defined by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of
operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread
acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is
presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the
Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in
net income that are not indicative of the operating performance,
such as gains (or losses) from sales of property and depreciation
and amortization. However, the Company's method of calculating FFO
may be different from methods used by other REITs and,
accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does
not represent cash generated from operations as defined by
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and is not
indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including
distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to
net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance
or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the
NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed
in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales
of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. The Company historically has added back impairments in
real estate in calculating FFO, in accordance with prior NAREIT
guidance. However, NAREIT, based on discussions with the SEC, has
provided revised guidance that provides that impairments should
not be added back to net income in calculating FFO. As such,
historical FFO has been restated consistent with this revised
guidance.
Included in FFO for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 are
gains from the sale of land of $659 and $957, respectively
(amounts are net of minority interests).
(c) In addition to the weighted average Common Shares outstanding for
the period, diluted FFO also assumes full conversion of a weighted
average 1,140 and 3,246 OP Units into Common Shares for the
quarters ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and 1,868 and 3,677 OP
Units into Common Shares for the years then ended.
(d) Fixed-rate debt includes $86,669 of notional principal fixed
through swap transactions. Conversely, variable-rate debt excludes
this amount.
