(1) The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board
    of Governors of NAREIT in October, 1999 defines Funds from
    Operations as net income (loss), computed in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or
    losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and
    amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
    partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated
    partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect
    funds from operations on the same basis. The Company believes that
    Funds from Operations is helpful to investors as a measure of the
    performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flow from
    operating activities, financing activities and investing
    activities, it provides investors with an indication of the
    ability of the Company to incur and service debt, to make capital
    expenditures and to fund other cash needs. The Company computes
    Funds from Operations using standards established by NAREIT which
    may not be comparable to Funds from Operations reported by other
    REITs that do not define the term using the current NAREIT
    definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition
    differently than the Company. Funds from Operations does not
    represent cash generated from operating activities using generally
    accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an
    alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
    financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities
    as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of
    funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its
    ability to make cash distributions. Effective January 1, 2000,
    Funds from Operations includes both recurring and non-recurring
    results of operations, except those results defined as
    "extraordinary items" under generally accepted accounting
    principles and gains and losses from sales of depreciable
    operating property.
