(1)	Represents historical financial data of our operating partnership, including three additional facilities acquired by our operating partnership from certain of the Amsdell Entities in connection with our IPO. See Note 1 to the financial statements on page F-26.
(2)	Management fees to related party were historically paid to U-Store-It Mini Warehouse Co., the prior manager of our self-storage facilities that was acquired at the time of our IPO.
(3)	Pro forma basic earnings per share is computed assuming the offering was consummated as of January 1, 2004 and equals pro forma net income divided by the pro forma number of our common shares outstanding, which amount (i) includes 37,345,162 shares outstanding currently, less 14,117 unearned shares granted to our trustees, (ii) includes 146,875 shares issuable to certain members of our management team in satisfaction of grants of deferred shares made under our equity incentive plan concurrently with the closing of our IPO, (iii) includes 15,000,000 shares expected to be issued in connection with this offering, and (iv) excludes 2,250,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the underwriters’ option. Pro forma diluted earnings per share includes 23,655 incremental shares which are vested under option agreements.
(4)	Excludes 5,198,855 operating partnership units issued at our IPO and in connection with the acquisition of facilities subsequent to the IPO. Operating partnership units have been excluded from the earnings per share calculations as there would be no effect on the earnings per share since, upon conversion, the minority interests’ share of income would also be added back to net income.
(5)	Our board of trustees declared a pro rata dividend of $0.2009 per common share on November 16, 2004 and full quarterly dividends of $0.28 per common share on February 22, 2005 and May 31, 2005.

Additionally, for the period from October 21, 2004 through December 31, 2004, general and administrative expense includes a one-time compensation charge of approximately $2.4 million for deferred shares granted to certain members of our senior management team in connection with our IPO.

	•	it is one of the primary measures used by our management and our facility managers to evaluate the economic productivity of our facilities, including our ability to lease our facilities, increase pricing and occupancy and control our property operating expenses;
	•	it is widely used in the real estate industry and the self-storage industry to measure the performance of real estate assets without regard to various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets; and
	•	we believe it helps our investors to meaningfully compare the results of our operating performance from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense on our outstanding indebtedness) and depreciation of our basis in our assets from our operating results.

	•	Acquisition of Gaithersburg, MD Facility. On January 14, 2005, we acquired one self-storage facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland for a purchase price of approximately $10.7 million, consisting of $4.3 million in cash and the assumption of $6.4 million of indebtedness. For accounting purposes, the purchase price was adjusted during the second quarter of 2005 to $11.8 million, primarily due to the fair market value adjustment for debt.
	•	Acquisition of Ford Storage Portfolio. On March 1, 2005, we acquired five self-storage facilities, located in central Connecticut, from Ford Storage for an aggregate purchase price of $15.5 million.
	•	Acquisition of A-1 Self Storage Portfolio. On March 15, 2005, we acquired five self-storage properties, located in Connecticut, from A-1 Self Storage for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $21.7 million. We now operate two of these facilities as one facility. On May 5, 2005, we acquired an additional self-storage facility from A-1 Self Storage for approximately $6.4 million in cash. The facility contains approximately 30,000 rentable square feet and is located in New York.
	•	Acquisition of Option Facilities. On March 18, 2005, we purchased the Orlando II, Florida and the Boynton Beach II, Florida facilities from Rising Tide Development (a related party) for consideration of $11.8 million, consisting of $6.8 million in cash (which cash was used to pay off mortgage indebtedness secured by the facilities) and $5.0 million in units of the operating partnership. An adjustment to the purchase price was finalized during the second quarter of 2005, resulting in a revised purchase price of approximately $10.1 million, which consisted of $6.8 million in cash and $3.3 million in units of the operating partnership after a price reduction of $1.7 million in May 2005.
	•	Acquisition of Liberty Self-Stor Portfolio. On April 5, 2005, we acquired 18 self-storage facilities from Liberty Self-Stor Ltd., a subsidiary of Liberty Self-Stor, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of $34.0 million. The facilities total approximately 926,000 rentable square feet and are located in Ohio and New York.
	•	Acquisition of Frisco I & II, TX and Ocoee, FL Facilities. In April 2005, we acquired three self-storage facilities from two parties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14.9 million. These facilities total approximately 199,000 rentable square feet and are located in Texas (2 facilities) and Florida (1 facility).
	•	Acquisition of Extra Closet Facilities. On May 24, 2005, we acquired two facilities from Extra Closet for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.8 million. These facilities total approximately 99,000 rentable square feet and are located in Illinois.
	•	Disposition of Liberty Self-Stor Facility. On June 15, 2005, we sold one facility (purchased as part of the Liberty Self-Stor portfolio acquisition) for approximately $0.6 million, which approximated book value. Revenues and the related results for operations, for the property sold, were insignificant to our total revenues and related results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

	•	Texas Portfolio. In July 2005, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 12 self-storage facilities located in Texas including one facility currently under construction, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $61.8 million. As described above under “Developments Since Our IPO — Acquisitions Completed Since July 31, 2005,” we acquired four of these facilities, for an aggregate purchase price of $15.6 million, on September 27, 2005. We expect to acquire the remaining eight facilities, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $46.2 million, during the first half of 2006. These eight facilities total approximately 562,000 rentable square feet and were 46% occupied as of July 31, 2005.
	•	Dallas, Texas Portfolio. In June 2005, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition of eight self-storage facilities located in Dallas, Texas for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $29.0 million, including the assumption of approximately $12.3 million of existing mortgage debt on five of these facilities. These facilities total approximately 462,000 rentable square feet and were 90% occupied as of July 31, 2005. We expect to acquire these facilities in October 2005, and may acquire one or more of these facilities prior to the closing of this offering.
	•	Jacksonville, Florida Facility. In January 2005, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition of one self-storage facility located in Jacksonville, Florida for a purchase price of approximately $7.2 million.

		with Lehman Brothers Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The facility is scheduled to mature on October 27, 2007, with the option for us to extend the maturity date to October 27, 2008. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a variable rate based upon a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, a spread depending on our leverage ratio. The credit facility is secured by certain of our self-storage facilities and requires that we maintain a minimum “borrowing base” of properties. We use this credit facility principally to finance the acquisition and development of self-storage facilities and for general working capital purposes.
	•	Lehman Brothers Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans. Also on October 27, 2004, and concurrently with the closing of our IPO, three of our subsidiaries entered into three separate fixed rate mortgage loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $270.0 million. The first mortgage loan, from Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, is secured by 26 of our facilities, has an initial outstanding principal balance of $90.0 million, bears interest at 5.09% and matures in November 2009. The second mortgage loan, from Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., or “Lehman Capital,” is secured by 21 of our facilities, has an initial outstanding principal balance of $90.0 million, bears interest at 5.19% and matures in May 2010. The third mortgage loan, also from Lehman Capital, is secured by 18 of our facilities, has an initial outstanding principal balance of $90.0 million, bears interest at 5.33% and matures in January 2011. Each of these mortgage loans requires us to establish reserves relating to the mortgaged facilities for real estate taxes, insurance and capital spending.
	•	Additional Lehman Brothers Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan. On July 19, 2005, one of our subsidiaries entered into a fixed rate mortgage loan agreement with Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, as the lender, in the principal amount of $80.0 million. The mortgage loan, which is secured by 24 of our self-storage facilities, bears interest at 5.13% and matures in August 2012. The mortgage loan will become immediately due and payable, and the lender will be entitled to interest on the unpaid principal sum at an increased rate, if any required payment is not paid on or prior to the date when due or on the happening of any other event of default. This mortgage loan requires the borrower to establish reserves relating to the mortgaged facilities for replacements, repairs, real estate taxes and insurance.
	•	LaSalle Bank Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan. On August 4, 2005, one of our subsidiaries entered into a fixed rate mortgage loan agreement with LaSalle Bank National Association, as the lender, in the principal amount of $80.0 million. The mortgage loan, which is secured by 28 of our self-storage facilities, bears interest at 4.96% and matures in September 2012. The mortgage loan will become immediately due and payable, and the lender will be entitled to interest on the unpaid principal sum at an increased rate, if any required payment is not paid on or prior to the date when due or on the happening of any other event of default. This mortgage loan requires the borrower to establish reserves relating to the mortgaged facilities for replacements, repairs, real estate taxes and insurance.

	•	Significant Scale and Scope — As of July 31, 2005, our portfolio of 308 facilities totaled approximately 18.9 million rentable square feet. Our scale and geographic scope have allowed us to compete effectively in the highly fragmented self-storage market, over 80% of which is owned by operators that individually have less than a 0.4% market share, based on rentable square footage, according to the Self-Storage Almanac. As a national owner and operator of self-storage facilities, we continually enhance our business by applying our management expertise and best practices developed across our portfolio to our local facilities. We also benefit from economies of scale and are able to

		spread our fixed costs across a large base of facilities. In particular, the benefits include negotiating better terms for advertising, insurance and bulk purchasing of ancillary sales items. In addition, we have found it cost-effective to operate a national call center to complement the customer service provided by our on-site property managers. Economies of scale also have assisted us in marketing our “U-Store-It” brand, which we believe is one of the top brands in the industry, on a national basis. Additionally, our geographic diversification helps to mitigate risks associated with adverse operating conditions in any local or regional market.
	•	Integrated Platform with Operating, Development and Acquisition Expertise — We are an integrated self-storage real estate company, which means that we have in-house capabilities in the design, development, leasing, operation and acquisition of self-storage facilities. We also are one of the few self-storage companies with the experience and the capability to make property investments on a national scale through multiple methods — acquisitions of operating facilities, development of new facilities and redevelopment of underperforming facilities. Since 1997, we acquired 264 self-storage facilities containing an aggregate of approximately 15.6 million rentable square feet for a total purchase price of approximately $890 million, including 154 facilities (9.0 million rentable square feet) acquired since our IPO for a total purchase price of approximately $580 million. In addition, since 1997 we have developed 14 facilities containing an aggregate of approximately 900,000 rentable square feet at a total development cost of approximately $66 million. We believe that our expertise will enable us to continue to identify and complete acquisitions and developments that may enhance our cash flow and shareholder value.
	•	Focused Operating Philosophy — We focus on maintaining and improving profitability at each of our facilities by managing our pricing and occupancy, controlling our operating expenses and monitoring our operating results at the facility level. Each facility manager is empowered to use his or her local market knowledge to make pricing decisions, subject to certain pre-set guidelines and review by our district managers. We believe this decentralized approach to pricing allows us to respond quickly to opportunities to increase rents. Our on-site managers and call center representatives are carefully selected and extensively trained in customer service and marketing skills.
	•	High Quality Facilities Located in Targeted Growth Markets — We seek to offer high quality modern facilities and generally focus our acquisitions and developments in metropolitan areas that we consider to be growth markets. Within those metropolitan areas, we believe our facilities are well- located in submarkets with favorable three- to five-mile demographics and demand trends. In addition, since 1999, we spent a total of approximately $16.2 million expanding and improving our facilities. A total of 158, or approximately 51%, of our facilities include climate-controlled units, compared to the national average of 26%, according to the Self-Storage Almanac. As a result, we believe that our portfolio of facilities is among the most modern and well-located in the industry.
	•	Seasoned Management Team — Our senior management team has been working together to acquire, develop and operate self-storage facilities for more than ten years. Our top four executives, Robert J. Amsdell, Steven G. Osgood, Todd C. Amsdell and Tedd D. Towsley, have an average of approximately 23 years of real estate experience and have worked in the self-storage industry for an average of approximately 17 years. This experience enables us to capitalize on our industry relationships to identify attractive acquisition and development opportunities and continually improve our operating strategies. In addition, this management team was responsible for several key innovations that have contributed to our continued success, such as the implementation of a national call center, full benefit packages to our employees and the creation of the “Diamond Storage Alliance,” a network of self-storage operators designed to market self-storage to national commercial customers. After giving effect to this offering, our senior management team, together with Barry L. Amsdell and two related family trusts, will own approximately 18.1% of our common shares on a fully diluted basis. We believe that the significant equity ownership by our senior management team will continue to effectively align its interests with those of our other shareholders.

	•	Maximize cash flow from our facilities — We seek to maximize cash flow from our facilities by increasing rents, increasing occupancy levels, controlling operating expenses and expanding and improving our facilities.

	•	Increasing rents — Our operating strategy focuses on achieving the highest sustainable rent levels at each of our facilities. Pricing strategies are established by our facility managers in consultation with their district managers. This flexibility at the local market level has allowed us to respond quickly to opportunities to increase rents. Our annual rent per occupied square foot has increased from an average of $9.13 in 2000 to $10.66 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005, a 16.8% increase. We believe our practice of providing flexibility for facility managers to set rents is a significant contributing factor to this growth in annual rent per occupied square foot.
	•	Increasing occupancy levels — We focus on increasing occupancy levels at our newly developed, recently acquired or recently expanded facilities. We actively lease our facilities while maintaining and, where possible, increasing our pricing levels.
	•	Controlling operating expenses — We strive to strictly control our operating expenses. Our regional managers are focused on maximizing profitability at each of our facilities by controlling operating expenses. We also take advantage of economies of scale provided by our expanded platform of facilities to reduce certain property operating expenses such as insurance, advertising and cost of ancillary sales items.
	•	Expanding and improving our facilities — We continually analyze whether we can achieve attractive returns on investment in facility expansions and improvements. We seek to satisfy additional demand in certain of our markets by investing in expansions of our facilities which have reached near full occupancy. Additionally, where appropriate (based on physical design of the facility and our expectations regarding additional demand), we upgrade our facilities by adding such features as climate-controlled units, enhanced security systems and interior corridor access to units. Since 1999, we have completed expansions at 16 of our existing facilities totaling approximately $14 million of additional investment, adding an average of approximately 20,000 square feet of rental space at each expanded facility. These expansions have allowed us to capture additional demand, thereby increasing the income from our facilities, and these improvements have allowed us to charge higher rents, thereby enhancing our operating margins.

	•	Acquire facilities within our targeted markets — The self-storage industry in the United States is primarily composed of local operators that own single facilities. According to the Self-Storage Almanac, the top ten operators of self-storage facilities (which includes us) collectively own approximately 16% of the aggregate market share of self-storage space, based on rentable square footage, while the remaining approximately 84% is owned by operators that individually have less than a 0.4% market share. We believe the industry will continue to provide us with opportunities for future growth through consolidation due to this highly fragmented composition, the lack of sophistication among many operators, the economies of scale available to a real estate company with a significant number of self-storage facilities, and the difficulties smaller operators face in obtaining capital. We intend to continue to take advantage of these opportunities by utilizing our experience in identifying, evaluating and acquiring self-storage facilities. The experience of our management team and our history of actively acquiring self-storage facilities give us an advantage in identifying attractive potential acquisitions, as we are well-known within the self-storage brokerage community and are often approached directly by principals interested in selling their facilities. Furthermore, we believe that our ability to offer our operating partnership units as a form of acquisition consideration has helped us, and will continue to help us, pursue acquisitions from tax-sensitive private sellers through tax-deferred transactions. We intend to acquire additional facilities primarily in areas that we consider to be growth markets, such as California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and the Northeastern United States. We also have the option to purchase the option facilities, as described below under “— Our Facilities — Option Facilities,” on page 82.

Table of Contents

	•	Utilize our development expertise in selective new developments — We intend to use our development expertise and access to multiple financing sources to pursue new developments in areas where we have facilities and perceive there to be unmet demand. We believe that our expertise will enable us to mitigate development risks and identify opportunities with attractive potential returns. We expect to continually review internally and externally generated opportunities for new development within areas where we have facilities.
	•	Focus on expanding our commercial customer base — We intend to continue focusing on expanding the base of commercial customers that use our facilities for their storage and distribution needs. Our current commercial customers include many types of businesses, including pharmaceutical representatives, food purveyors and small business retailers. Commercial customers are attractive to us because they tend to rent larger units, stay for longer rental periods and are generally less sensitive to rent increases. According to the Self-Storage Almanac, commercial customers currently comprise approximately 20% of self-storage customers nationwide. Although it is difficult to accurately track all of our commercial customers because many business owners and commercial users rent units in the name of an individual, we currently estimate that approximately 15% or more of our revenues are derived from commercial customers. We believe that there are significant growth opportunities in this area as more businesses, such as those in the pharmaceutical and food product industries, begin to employ self-storage for their distribution logistics, favoring self-storage for its relatively low cost, ease of access, security, flexible lease terms, climate control features and proximity to their distribution destinations. Towards this end, we have developed, acquired and redeveloped our facilities with features specifically designed to accommodate commercial customers, including climate-controlled units and wider aisles and greater load-bearing capabilities for large truck access.
	•	Continue to grow ancillary revenues — We intend to continue to enhance the cash flow from our facilities by increasing the sales of products and services that complement our customers’ use of our self-storage facilities. These include the sale of packing supplies and locks, truck and moving equipment rentals and the referral of content insurance to some of our customers. We believe that as the utilization of and uses for self-storage facilities expand in the marketplace our ancillary business will continue to grow. We expect to continue to add additional products to our displays and to expand our display area for ancillary products and services. Our marketing efforts for our ancillary products include in-store signage and yellow page, print and internet advertising. Ancillary revenues generated by our same-store facilities increased from approximately $0.8 million in 2000 to $1.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005, a 125.0% increase.

	•	Targeted Markets — Our targeted markets include areas where we currently maintain management that can be extended to additional facilities, or where we believe that we can acquire a significant number of facilities efficiently and within a short period of time. We evaluate both the broader market and the immediate area, typically five miles around the facility, for their ability to support above-average demographic growth. We will seek to grow our presence primarily in areas that we consider to be growth markets in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and the Northeastern United States and to enter new markets should suitable opportunities arise.
	•	Quality of Facility — We focus on self-storage facilities that have good visibility and are located near retail centers, which typically provide high traffic corridors and are generally located near residential communities and commercial customers. In addition, we seek to acquire facilities with an on-site

		apartment for the manager, security cameras and gated access, accessibility for tractor trailers and good construction.
	•	Growth Potential — We will continue to target acquisitions that offer growth potential through increased operating efficiency and, in some cases, through additional leasing efforts, renovations or expansions. In addition to acquisitions of single facilities, we will continue to seek to invest in portfolio acquisitions, searching for situations where there is significant potential for increased operating efficiency and an ability to spread our fixed costs across a large base of facilities.

	•	Broad Base of Demand Driven by a Variety of Storage Needs — Self-storage facilities serve a wide spectrum of residential and commercial customers ranging from college students to high-income homeowners and from local businesses to large national corporations. The use of self-storage can be both short- and long-term and is driven by a variety of events and circumstances, including the following:

	•	Moving into or out of an area, which creates the need for short-term storage;
	•	Residential downsizing, such as “empty-nesters” moving into smaller homes and seeking long-term storage for their accumulated possessions;
	•	The limited size of apartments and condominium units, which creates the need for supplemental storage space;
	•	Growing discretionary income, resulting in the purchase of items such as boats and recreational vehicles which require storage during periods of non-use;
	•	The end of school and vacation seasons, when college students and renters of vacation homes need to temporarily store their belongings, such as dormitory furniture and camping and sporting equipment;
	•	The growing number of small businesses that need affordable off-site storage for their supplies, product inventories and business records; and
	•	The interest of large corporations in employing self-storage as a cost-effective alternative in their distribution logistics.

	•	Relative Stability through Economic Cycles — According to the 2004 Self-Storage Almanac, demand for self-storage tends to remain relatively stable because the causes of such demand are present throughout the various stages of an economic cycle. Economic expansions generate demand as individuals relocate to new jobs and make more purchases and businesses expand their storage and distribution needs. Conversely, economic downturns also initially create additional needs for self-storage as a result of the relocation and residential downsizing associated with reduced income or job losses.
	•	Low Price Sensitivity of Customers — We believe that many self-storage facility customers have a low sensitivity to price increases partly due to the low cost of self-storage relative to other storage alternatives and also due to the inconvenience of moving stored belongings to another location.

	•	Large Pool of Individual Customers — The self-storage industry benefits from the significant mobility of a growing population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 39.0 million United States residents, or approximately 13.7% of the total U.S. population, relocated between 2003 and 2004. According to the 2004 Self-Storage Almanac, consumer awareness of self-storage has grown significantly as more facilities have been built nationwide and overall usage has risen. Self-storage operators continue to induce additional demand by opening facilities in new geographic markets, offering higher quality product with enhanced features, and actively marketing their facilities to attract first-time residential and commercial users.
	•	Growth of Commercial Customer Base — According to the 2004 Self-Storage Almanac, commercial customers are increasingly employing self-storage for their distribution logistics. These customers favor self-storage for its relatively low cost, ease of access, security, flexible lease terms, climate control features and proximity to their distribution destinations. Commercial customers are attractive because they tend to rent larger units, stay for longer rental periods and are generally less price sensitive.

	•	The large number of customers who use each self-storage facility makes a self-storage operator less susceptible to abrupt declines in rental revenue caused by the bankruptcy or vacating of large customers, the risk of which is more prominent in most other real estate sectors.
	•	Due to the relatively small cost of each self-storage facility, it is generally easier for the larger operators in the industry, like us, to own and operate a geographically diversified portfolio of facilities, the performance of which in the aggregate is more resilient to adverse operating conditions in any local or regional market.
	•	The relatively low recurring capital expenditures necessary for the repair and maintenance of most self-storage facilities generally allow a self-storage operator to convert a high portion of its rental revenues into free cash flow.

	1. We will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed “REIT taxable income.” REIT taxable income is the taxable income of the REIT subject to specified adjustments, including a deduction for dividends paid.
	2. We may be subject to the “alternative minimum tax” on our undistributed items of tax preference, if any.
	3. If we have (1) net income from the sale or other disposition of “foreclosure property” that is held primarily for sale to tenants in the ordinary course of business, or (2) other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we will be subject to tax at the highest corporate rate on this income.
	4. Our net income from “prohibited transactions” will be subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to tenants in the ordinary course of business other than foreclosure property.
	5. If we fail to satisfy either the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test discussed below, but nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because other requirements are met, we will be subject to a tax equal to the gross income attributable to the greater of either (1) the amount by which 75% of our gross income exceeds the amount of our income qualifying under the 75% test for the taxable year or (2) the amount by which 95% of our gross income exceeds the amount of our income qualifying for the 95% income test for the taxable year, multiplied in either case by a fraction intended to reflect our profitability.
	6. We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of the required distribution over the sum of amounts actually distributed, excess distributions from the preceding tax year and amounts retained for which federal income tax was paid if we fail to make the required distributions by the end of a calendar year. The required distributions for each calendar year is equal to the sum of:

	•	85% of our REIT ordinary income for the year;
	•	95% of our REIT capital gain net income for the year; and
	•	any undistributed taxable income from prior taxable years.

	7. We will be subject to a 100% penalty tax on some payments we receive (or on certain expenses deducted by a taxable REIT subsidiary) if arrangements among us, our tenants, and our taxable REIT subsidiaries are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties.

	8. If we acquire any assets from a non-REIT “C” corporation in a carry-over basis transaction, we would be liable for corporate income tax, at the highest applicable corporate rate for the “built-in gain” with respect to those assets if we disposed of those assets within 10 years after they were acquired. To the extent that assets are transferred to us in a carry-over basis transaction by a partnership in which a corporation owns an interest, we will be subject to this tax in proportion to the non-REIT “C” corporation’s interest in the partnership. Built-in gain is the amount by which an asset’s fair market value exceeds its adjusted tax basis at the time we acquire the asset.
	9. With regard to our 2005 and subsequent taxable years, if we fail to satisfy one of the REIT asset tests (other than certain de minimis failures), but nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because other requirements are met, we will be subject to a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the amount determined by multiplying the net income generated by the non-qualifying assets during the period of time that the assets were held as non-qualifying assets by the highest rate of tax applicable to corporations.
	10. With regard to our 2005 and subsequent taxable years, if we fail to satisfy certain of the requirements under the Code the failure of which would result in the loss of our REIT status, and the failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, we may be required to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each such failure in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
	11. If we fail to comply with the requirements to send annual letters to our shareholders requesting information regarding the actual ownership of our shares and the failure was not due to reasonable cause or was due to willful neglect, we will be subject to a $25,000 penalty or, if the failure is intentional, a $50,000 penalty.

	(4) that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company within the meaning of certain provisions of the Code;
	(5) that is beneficially owned by 100 or more persons;
	(6) not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares or other beneficial interest of which is owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities and as determined by applying certain attribution rules) during the last half of each taxable year;
	(7) that makes an election to be a REIT for the current taxable year, or has made such an election for a previous taxable year that has not been revoked or terminated, and satisfies all relevant filing and other administrative requirements established by the IRS that must be met to elect and maintain REIT status;

	•	The amount of rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount we receive or accrue generally will not be excluded from the term “rents from real property” solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales;
	•	We, or an actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of our shares, must not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the interests in the tenant, or, if the tenant is a corporation, 10% or more of the voting power or value of all classes of stock of the tenant. Rents received from such tenant that is a taxable REIT subsidiary, however, will not be excluded from the definition of “rents from real property” as a result of this condition if either (i) at least 90% of the space at the property to which the rents relate is leased to third parties, and the rents paid by the taxable REIT subsidiary are comparable to rents paid by our other tenants for comparable space or (ii) the property is a qualified lodging property and such property is operated on behalf of the taxable REIT subsidiary by a person who is an independent contractor and certain other requirements are met;
	•	Rent attributable to personal property, leased in connection with a lease of real property, is not greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease. If this requirement is not met, then the portion of rent attributable to personal property will not qualify as “rents from real property;” and
	•	We generally must not provide directly impermissible tenant services to the tenants of a property, subject to a 1% de minimis exception, other than through an independent contractor from whom we derive no income or a taxable REIT subsidiary. We may, however, directly perform certain services that are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are not otherwise considered “rendered primarily for the convenience of the tenant” of the property. Examples of such services include the provision of light, heat, or other utilities, trash removal and general maintenance of common areas. In addition, we may provide through an independent contractor or a taxable REIT subsidiary, which may be wholly or partially owned by us, both customary and non-customary services to our tenants without causing the rent we receive from those tenants to fail to qualify as “rents from real property.” If the total amount of income we receive from providing impermissible tenant services at a property exceeds 1% of our total income from that property, then all of the income from that property will fail to qualify as “rents from real property.” Impermissible tenant service income is deemed to be at least 150% of our direct cost in providing the service.
