(1) Effective January 31, 2001, the Company implemented a change in the presentation of its financial results. Prior to January 31, 2001, the Company used the pro-rata method of consolidation to report its partnership investments proportionate to its share of ownership for each line item of its consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-1, “Investor Balance Sheet and Income Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in Certain Partnerships and Other Ventures,” the Company can no longer use the pro-rata consolidation method for partnerships. Accordingly, partnership investments that were previously reported on the pro-rata method are now reported as consolidated at 100%, if deemed under the Company’s control, or otherwise on the equity method of accounting. While a number of the line items on the Company’s consolidated financial statements have changed under the new full consolidation method, there is no impact on EBDT, net earnings or shareholders’ equity for all years presented. Certain data for the years ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 have been re-presented. (2) Excludes the provision for decline in real estate and gain (loss) on disposition of properties and other investments, net of tax. (3) The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to report its operating results. This measure, referred to as Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes (“EBDT”), is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that EBDT provides additional information about its operations and, along with net earnings, is necessary to understand its operating results. The Company’s view is that EBDT is also an indicator of the Company’s ability to generate cash to meet its funding requirements. EBDT is defined as net earnings before extraordinary gain, excluding the following items: i) provision for decline in real estate; ii) gain (loss) on disposition of properties and other investments; iii) beginning in the year ended January 31, 2001, the adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expenses using the straight-line method; and iv) noncash charges from Forest City Rental Properties Corporation for depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes. (4) Includes $6,991,000 for the year ended January 31, 1998 related to the litigation settlement and sale of Toscana.
