|
Press
Release issued March 11, 2010

Funds
from operations (“FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as net income (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or
losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real
estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP
financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental
measure of the Company’s operating performance. Management generally
considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating
and financial performance because, by excluding gains and losses related
to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and
excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary
among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical
cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance
measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to
operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating
costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from net income.
Management believes that the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving
the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public
and making comparisons of REIT operating results more
meaningful.

Investors
in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize net operating
income (“NOI”) as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is derived from
revenues minus property operating expenses and real estate taxes. NOI does
not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s
financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating
activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the
Company’s liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the
Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.
The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP
measurement to net operating income. Net income includes interest and
depreciation and amortization which often have no effect on the market
value of a property and therefore limit its use as a performance measure.
In addition, such expenses are often incurred at a parent company level
and therefore are not necessarily linked to the performance of a real
estate asset. The Company believes that net operating income is helpful to
investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator
of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing
property performance over time. The Company uses NOI as a key management
tool when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties
and/or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it
excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense, and non-property
specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of
which are significant costs, and therefore, NOI is a measure of the
operating performance of the properties of the Company rather than of the
Company overall.

The
tax benefit for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 represents
the reversal of a tax provision for potential taxes payable on the sale of
company assets related to the enactment of the Michigan Business Tax.
These taxes do not impact Funds from Operations and would be payable from
prospective proceeds of such sales.
