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 months ended March 31, 2011, Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders was $8.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. 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”), as adjusted for acquisition costs and impairment, to be $23.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share and unit for the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders was $7.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, FFO, as adjusted for acquisition and debt modification costs was $24.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share and unit.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, Loss From Continuing Operations was $9.8 million. In our press release referred to above, we disclose our net operating income, or NOI, to be $44.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Loss From Continuing Operations was $7.7 million. Our NOI was $40.1 million for the same period in 2010.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our Loss From Continuing Operations increased $2.1 million from a loss of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to a loss of $9.8 million for the same period in 2011. In our press release referred to above, we disclose that our same store NOI, excluding revenue from lease terminations, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 declined 0.7% compared to the same period in 2010 and decreased 2.3% on a cash basis.

Our percentage of debt to total assets was 42.1% and 44.5% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In our press release referred to above, we disclose that the percentage of net debt to total gross assets, less cash and accumulated depreciation and amortization, was 34.7% and 36.8%, for the same periods. We believe that this percentage, calculated using debt, reduced for existing cash balances, mortgage premiums, net and 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, reduced for existing cash balances, based on the book value of our total assets, excluding existing cash balances and the cumulative effect of these depreciation and amortization accruals, provides investors with a useful supplemental measure of our leverage.
