[1] Net operating income represents total revenues less total operating and interest expenses (as defined in Note “a”), plus equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, for the period.
[2] Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2013 relate to impairment charges as further described in Note 3: Real Estate Transactions - Impairments on Properties Held and Used.
[3] During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company identified and recorded an out-of-period adjustment to reflect a charge of $1,260,000 to correct an error in the measurement of its impairment charges on certain properties in the third quarter of 2013. In the third quarter, in measuring the impairments on these properties, the Company did not include certain tenant improvement amounts to be paid for in-place leases in its discounted cash flows used to measure fair value and, as a result, should have recognized larger impairment charges by this aggregate amount. The Company has determined that this adjustment was not material to the quarter ended December 31, 2013 or the prior interim period.
[4] Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2012 relate to impairment charges as further described in Note 3: Real Estate Transactions - Impairments on Properties Held and Used.
[5] During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company identified and recorded an out-of-period adjustment to reflect a charge of $1,559,000 to correct an error in its calculation of the gain on sale of rental property on a transaction that closed in the third quarter of 2013. In the third quarter, in recording the gain on the sale transaction, the Company did not include the full consolidated carrying amount of the property in computing the gain and, as a result, should have recognized a smaller gain by this amount. The Company has determined that this adjustment was not material to the quarter ended December 31, 2013 or the prior interim period.
