(1) Acquisition costs have been expensed under the Business
Combinations Topic of The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM
since January 1, 2009.
(2) We compute FFO as shown in the calculations above. Our
calculations of FFO differ from the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, definition because we exclude acquisition
costs, gain on early extinguishment of debt and loss on early
extinguishment of debt unless settled in cash. We consider FFO to be an
appropriate measure of performance for a REIT, along with net income and
cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. We believe
that FFO provides useful information to investors because by excluding
the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense
and gains or losses on sales of properties, FFO can facilitate a
comparison of operating performance between periods and among REITs. FFO
does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not
be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating
activities as a measure of financial performance or liquidity. Also,
some REITs may calculate FFO differently than us.
(3) As of September 30, 2009, our 15,180 outstanding series D
preferred shares were convertible into 29,193 common shares. The effect
of a conversion of our series D convertible preferred shares on income
from continuing operations available for common shareholders per share
is anti-dilutive to income, but dilutive to FFO for the quarters and
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Set forth below is the
calculation of diluted net income available for common shareholders,
diluted FFO available for common shareholders and diluted weighted
average common shares outstanding.
