(a)  EBITDA represents earnings prior to interest, taxes, depreciation,
     amortization and gains on sale of real estate assets.  This supplemental
     disclosure of EBITDA is included because financial analysts and other
     members of the investment community consider coverage ratios for real
     estate companies on a pre-depreciation basis.
