Definitions And Reconciliations Of Non-GAAP Financial Measures And Other Terms

This Annual Report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms. The definition and calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures referred to below should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered as an alternative measure of liquidity or as indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. The definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and other terms not included below (Funds from Operations, Net Operating Income, Established/Same Store Communities) are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which is distributed with and a part of this Annual Report.
