104 renewals totaling 433,000 square feet. Over the past 12 months the Company

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income
(In thousands, except per share data)
Note: Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior period have been
reclassified in order to conform with the current period's presentation.
(1) Included in the calculation of income from continuing operations per
share in accordance with SEC guidelines.
(2) Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common
stock at the beginning of the period. Net income would be increased by
$209 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $363 for the six
months ended June 30, 2006.
(3) Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common
stock at the beginning of the period. The impact of the conversion would
have an anti-dilutive effect on net income and therefore has not been
included.

Funds From Operations
(In thousands, except per share data)
(1) Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including the Company,
generally consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate
supplemental measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO is
defined as net income applicable to common shares before depreciation
and amortization, extraordinary items, gains on sales of operating real
estate, plus the pro-rata amount of depreciation and amortization and
gains on sales of unconsolidated joint ventures, net of minority
interests, determined on a consistent basis. Given the nature of the
Company's business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company
believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of its
operational performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and therefore should not be considered an alternative for net
income as a measure of liquidity. In addition, the comparability of the
Company's FFO with the FFO reported by other REITs may be affected by
the differences that exist regarding certain accounting policies
relating to expenditures for repairs and other recurring items.
(2) Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common
stock at the beginning of the period. Funds from operations would be
increased by $2,103 and $1,607 for the three months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively, and $3,842 and $3,215 for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

rates, foreign currency exchange rates (such as the US-Canadian rate), selling
prices of properties held for disposition, expenses (including salaries and
employee costs), insurance costs and numerous other factors. Not all of these
factors are determinable at this time and actual results may vary from the
projected results, and may be above or below the range indicated. The above
