2012 Non-GAAP Information: Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (FFO) is defined by NAREIT as net income attributable to common shareholders excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable assets, plus depreciation.  FFO per share is defined as FFO divided by the weighted average shares outstanding. FFO and FFO per share should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by real estate investment trust (REITs). FFO and FFO per share exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost basis. The items excluded from FFO and FFO per share are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. FFO and FFO per share (1) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (2) should not be considered as alternatives to net income or net income per share as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (3) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO and FFO per share, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other REITs. Core FFO is defined as FFO plus acquisition costs and Loss Relating to the Flood.
