Acquisition EnvironmentProposition 13 Impact
Proposition 13 basics• Caps tax increases to 2% annually
• Reassessments only upon >50% change in ownership
Market impact
• Lowers “natural” volume of acquisition levelsDiscourages selling and reinvesting into higher basis/lowermargin properties
• Contributes to older, maintenance-deferred nature of housing stockBy discouraging sales and creating control premiums, acquirers’ going-in basis reduces ability to economically reinvest in property

EBITDA Reconciliation
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA
Net income available to common shareholders 18,108$ 9,645$ Interest, including discontinued operations 17,218 19,748 Depreciation, including discontinued operations 25,032 24,401 EBITDA 60,358 53,794 Redeemable and other noncontrolling interest in income

Quarter Ended 3/31/2012
Quarter Ended 3/31/2011
Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in thevalue of our communities that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures to maintainthe operating performance of our communities, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact ourresults from operations, the utility of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of our performance is limited. Below isa reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by BREas EBITDA, excluding minority interests, gains or losses from sales of investments, preferred stock dividends and otherexpenses. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of our performancebecause they eliminate depreciation, interest, and, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, gains (losses) from communitydispositions and other charges, which permits investors to view income from operations without the impact of noncashdepreciation or the cost of debt, or with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, other non-operating items described above.

NOI Reconciliation
Net Operating Income (NOI)
Net income available to common shareholders 18,108$ 9,645$ Interest, including discontinued operations 17,218 19,748 Depreciation, including discontinued operations 25,032 24,401 Redeemable and other noncontrolling interest in income 105 335 Dividends on preferred stock 911 2,953 General and administrative expense 5,847 5,234 Other expenses - 143 NOI 67,221$ 62,459$ Less Non Same-Store NOI 5,632 4,748 Same-Store NOI 61,589$ 57,711$
Quarter Ended 3/31/2012
Quarter Ended 3/31/2011
Because NOI excludes depreciation and does not capture the change in the value of our communities resulting fromoperational use and market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures required to adequately maintain thecommunities (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility ofNOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI consistently with our definitionand, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs' NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as asupplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is itindicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. NOI alsoshould not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance withGAAP).
We consider community level and portfolio-wide NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because ithelps both investors and management to understand the core community operations prior to the allocation of general andadministrative costs. This is more reflective of the operating performance of the real estate, and allows for an easiercomparison of the operating performance of single assets or groups of assets. In addition, because prospective buyers of realestate have different overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead from acquiring real estate, NOI isconsidered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset orgroups of assets.
