     NOTE: The company uses a supplemental performance measure called
Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT) along with net
income to report its operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of
operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined
by generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT is
not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and
should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure
of liquidity. However, the Company believes that EBDDT provides
relevant information about its operations and is necessary, along with
net income, for an understanding of its operating results.

     EBDDT is calculated by taking net income and making various
adjustments.  Depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes are
excluded from EBDDT as they represent non-cash charges.  In addition,
gains on the sale of non-strategic land and other assets represent
unusual and/or non-recurring items and are excluded from the EBDDT
calculation.
