Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Feldman Mall Properties, Inc., consistent with real estate industry and investment community preferences, uses Funds From Operations, or FFO, as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT NAREIT National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ) defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance Accordance is Bible Study Software for Macintosh developed by OakTree Software, Inc.[]

Since values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides investors with a clearer view of the Company's operating performance.

In order to provide a better understanding of the relationship with FFO and GAAP net income, a reconciliation of FFO to GAAP net income has been provided. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

During the May 12, 2005 conference call, the Company may discuss non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. In addition, the Company has used non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure (net income) can be found on page 7 of this release.
