Notes:

(1)  Reflects adjustment for non-recurring rents. A lease modification
     effective prior to 1998 resulted in a temporary increase in lease
     revenues in the three year period ended June 30, 1998. The
     adjustment reduces lease revenues to an annualized amount
     consistent with the new leases on the affected property.
