1Funds from operations (FFO) is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles – GAAP) excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property plus depreciation and amortization. Modified funds from operations (MFFO) excludes costs associated with the evaluation of a potential consolidation transaction and public listing. The Company considers FFO and MFFO in evaluating operating performance and believes FFO and MFFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the Company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

Below is a reconciliation of FFO and MFFO to net income as reported in the Company’s second quarter 2012 10-Q:
