(1)   The Company calculates funds from operations (FFO) in accordance with the
      white paper published by the National Association of Real Estate
      Investment Trusts, Inc. FFO means net income (loss), (computed in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains
      (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
      depreciation and amortization relating to real property, and after
      adjustment from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
(2)   Includes annual dividends paid to Series B Preferred Stockholders of $1.24
      per share. Also reflects cash refunded in connection with three property
      for stock transactions completed in 1997 representing dividends for the
      period prior to closing, which were accounted for as a purchase price
      adjustment.
(3)   The number of shares outstanding was calculated as if the 2,272,727
      outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was converted
      to Common Stock, which is consistent with the methodology used in prior
      periods.
(4) The Company commenced real estate operations on February 23, 1996.
