Set forth below are several non-GAAP financial measures that are included in the attached press release together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, our net income was $15.5 million and $15.9 million, respectively and our net income per diluted share was $0.09 for both periods, respectively. In our press release referred to above, we disclose Funds From Operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), to be $32.3 million and $62.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and our FFO per diluted share was $0.16 and $0.30 for the same periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, our net income was $7.8 million and $23.2 million, respectively, and our net income per diluted share was $0.05 and $0.14 respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, our FFO per diluted share was $0.19 and $0.36, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, income from continuing operations was $2.2 million. In our press release referred to above, we disclose our property net operating income to be $46.5 million for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, loss from continuing operations was $0.3 million. In our press release referred to above, we disclose our property net operating income to be $45.7 million for the same period in 2007.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, our income from continuing operations increased $2.5 million from a loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to income of $2.2 million for the same period in 2008. In our press release referred to above, we disclose that our same store property net operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased 0.3% compared to the same period in 2007 and increased 1.3% on a cash-adjusted basis.

Our percentage of debt to total assets was 42.0% and 42.8% at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. In our press release referred to above, we disclose that the percentage of debt to book value of total assets, excluding accumulated depreciation and amortization, was 37.1% and 38.2%, respectively. We believe that this percentage, calculated using total assets, excluding accumulated depreciation and amortization, is a useful supplemental measure of our leverage. The market value of real estate assets often does not decline in the formulaic manner in which depreciation and amortization accrues with respect to those assets for GAAP accounting purposes. Accordingly, we believe that providing a supplemental measure of our leverage based on the book value of our total assets, excluding the cumulative effect of these depreciation and amortization accruals, provides investors with a useful supplemental measure of our leverage.
