CAMDEN                                     NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
                                         DEFINITIONS & RECONCILIATIONS
                              (In thousands, except per share amounts)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that
management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's
performance. Camden's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP
financial measures may differ from those used by other REITs, and thus
may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our
operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities
as a measure of our liquidity.


FFO
---
 The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT")
currently defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or
losses from of depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Camden's definition of
diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all dilutive convertible
securities, including minority interests, which are convertible into
common equity. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate
supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding
gains or losses on dispositions of operating properties and excluding
depreciation, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a
company's real estate between periods or as compared to different
companies. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is provided below:

(a) FFO for the three months ended and nine months ended September 30,
    2003 previously included a reduction of $0.1 million and $2.2
    million respectively from gains on sales of undepreciated
    property. We have adjusted FFO to include these types of gains as
    they currently do not meet NAREITs definition of gains that should
    be adjusted from net income in calculating FFO.

Expected FFO
-------------
Expected FFO is calculated in a method consistent with historical
FFO, and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of expected
operating performance when compared to expected net income (EPS). A
reconciliation of the ranges provided for expected net income per
diluted share to expected FFO per diluted share is provided below:

Net Operating Income (NOI)
--------------------------
NOI is defined by the Company as total property income less property
operating and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes. The Company
considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating
performance to net income because it reflects the operating
performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level
property management overhead or general and administrative costs. A
reconciliation of net income to net operating income is provided
below:

EBITDA
------
EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, including net operating income from
discontinued operations, excluding equity in income of joint ventures,
gain on sale of real estate assets, and income allocated to minority
interests. The Company considers EBITDA to be an appropriate
supplemental measure of operating performance to net income because it
represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt,
and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. A
reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is provided below:
