The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defi nes FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to refl ect FFO on the same basis. FFO and FFO on a fully diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and fi nancial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization as the Company believes real estate values fl uctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. FFO on a fully diluted Design: basis is one of the measures investors fi nd most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. FFO does not represent cash fl ow from 10% operations as defi ned by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defi ned by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash Methodologie fl ow needs. FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. Net income is the most directly Printing: comparable GAAP fi nancial measure for FFO and for the reconciliation of FFO and FFO-diluted to net income, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Funds from Operations” in our Form 10-K included herein.
