(1) Pro forma As a matter of form or for the sake of form. Used to describe accounting, financial, and other statements or conclusions based upon assumed or anticipated facts.

The phrase pro forma
 adjustments have been made to the historical results to reflect the results of operations assuming that the Initial Public Offering had been completed on January 1, 1993. The above pro forma amounts for the year ended December 31, 1993, reflect only the adjustments relating to relating to relate prepconcernant

relating to relate prepbezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc 
 the Company's Initial Public Offering and do not reflect any pro forma adjustments relating to the acquisitions of shopping centers and do not include any pro forma adjustments associated with the secondary offering, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 1993 or any offerings completed thereafter.

(2) The Company recognizes rental income as billed as opposed to utilizing the straight line method since the effect of applying the straight line method is not material. Accordingly, no adjustment for straight line rents is required for purposes of determining FFO.

(3) Does not include the amortization of the deferred finance costs of approximately $300,000 and $200,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 1994, and 1993, respectively, $1,030,000 and $540,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. If the amortization of deferred finance costs were added back for purposes of determining FFO, as is done by the majority of real estate investment trusts, the FFO per share for the three month period ended December 31, 1994 and year ended December 31, 1994 would be $0.66 and $2.47 respectively and $0.56 and $2.01 for the three month period and year ended December 31, 1993 (pro forma), respectively.
