Reconciliation of Funds From Operations ("FFO")

FFO is a supplemental measure of a REIT's financial performance that is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We define FFO as net income allocable to common stockholders adjusted to exclude the gains or losses on the sale of assets and adjusted to add back impairment charges, real estate depreciation and other non-cash charges. Other REITs may not use this definition of FFO and therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our company's FFO to that of other REITs. FFO is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental measure of financial performance, but is not a substitute for net income per share allocable to common stockholders determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The following table reconciles net income allocable to common stockholders to funds from operations allocable to common stockholders (unaudited, amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):
