Please note that forecasted AFFO above is based on various assumptions, including, among others, provisions for loan losses, gains (losses) on the sale of property and securities, gains on the sale of equity investments, capital expenditures, estimated interest rates, gains (losses) from the extinguishment of debt and budgeted operating and general administrative costs. Management does not forecast certain items, including amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets, incentive management fees or share based compensation, and therefore does not forecast Net Income, a GAAP measure. The reconciling items for this non-GAAP measure are not expected to be significant to the Company's cash flows from operations.
