FFO RECONCILIATION:

     FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
as net income of the corporation  computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting priciples,  excluding  gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus
depreciation  and  amortization,   and  after  adjustments  for   unconsolidated
partnerships  and joint ventures.  Chateau believes that FFO is an important and
widely used  measure of the  operating  performance  of real  estate  investment
trusts ("REITs"), which provides a relevant basis of comparison among REITs. FFO
(i) does not  represent  cash flow  from  operations  as  defined  by  generally
accepted accounting principles,  (ii) should not be considered as an alternative
to net  income as a measure  of  operating  performance  or to cash  flows  from
operating, investing and financing activities and (iii) is not an alternative to
cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
