Appendix Definitions and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measurements Economic Gain is calculated as gross sales price less real estate book value before accumulated depreciation and amortization. Economic Costs represents costs for all on-site development and construction costs for GAAP, but including certain items expensed for GAAP (primarily specific financing and operating expenses incurred during lease up) and excluding certain GAAP costs related to consolidated allocated costs, former sponsor-related fees and other non-cash capitalized cost items. NOI Yield at Stabilization is calculated as 12 months of NOI subsequent to stabilization divided by total Economic Costs. For communities stabilized less than one year, projected NOI was used. Profit margin is calculated as Value Creation divided by total Economic Costs. Proportionate Share is a non-GAAP presentation of financial amounts at our effective cash share based on our participation in distributable operating cash. The amounts include our share of unconsolidated joint ventures and excluding noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures. Value Creation represents the undiscounted total future value to be created at the stabilization date, before any selling expenses. We may provide on a consolidated and Proportionate Share basis.

Appendix Non-GAAP Measurements We use the following non-GAAP measurements to present different components of our performance. We believe this information is also useful to our investors in comparing our results to other real estate companies and trusts because they provide characteristics of our performance that reflect the reality that real estate generally appreciates over time, which is not reflected in most depreciation methods, and focus on operating results widely used by real estate investors. These non-GAAP measurements should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP but as a supplemental performance measurement. Because these measurements may exclude certain cash flows or expenses, we caution that these measurements may not be representative of our current or future liquidity as presented in accordance with GAAP. There can be no assurance that our methods for computing these non-GAAP measurements is comparable with that of other real estate companies and trusts in all respects. A reconciliation for each non-GAAP measurement to the most applicable GAAP measurement is provided below. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as currently defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property (including deemed sales (if any) and settlements of pre-existing relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate or of investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries (if any) that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate assets, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries and noncontrolling interests. May be calculated on a consolidated basis or based on our proportionate share. Core FFO is calculated starting from FFO adjusted for loss on early extinguishment of debt, acquisition expenses, contingent purchase price adjustments, gain or loss on derivative fair value adjustments and non-recurring expenses, such as transition expenses. May be calculated on a consolidated basis or based on our proportionate share. Adjusted Core FFO (“AFFO”) is calculated starting from Core FFO adjusted for recurring capital expenditures, straight-line rents and stock compensation expense. May be calculated on a consolidated basis or based on our proportionate share. M O N O G R A M R E S I D E N T I A L T R U S T 21

Appendix Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is calculated as total rental revenue less direct property operating expenses including real estate taxes.
