Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Share Distributions

a)   For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the aggregate amount of fixed charges exceeded our earnings by approximately $4.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively, which is the amount of additional earnings that would have been required to achieve a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 1.0x for such period. The deficiency of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for all periods presented is primarily due to the classification of operations for assets held for sale and sold as discontinued operations.
 
b)   For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the aggregate amount of fixed charges and preferred share distributions exceeded our earnings by approximately $6.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively, which is the amount of additional earnings that would have been required to achieve a ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share distributions of 1.0x for such period. The deficiency of the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share distributions for the periods presented is primarily due to the classification of operations for assets held for sale and sold as discontinued operations.
The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of pre-tax income from continuing operations before adjustment for noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries or income or loss from equity investees, gains on sale of properties, distributed income of equity investees, fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest excluding interest costs capitalized. Fixed charges consist of interest expense (including interest costs capitalized) and amortization of debt issuance costs.
