2 3 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Koger Equity, Inc. Jacksonville, Florida We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Koger Equity, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2000 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 18, 2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 7 8 KOGER EQUITY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 (UNAUDITED - SEE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Koger Equity, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Koger-Vanguard Partners, L.P. (the "Company"). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission related to interim financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999. The balance sheet at December 31, 1999, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date and is condensed. All adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made. Results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The objective of this SAB is to provide further guidance on revenue recognition issues in the absence of authoritative literature addressing a specific arrangement or a specific industry. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the SAB no later than the fourth quarter of 2000. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The SEC has recently indicated it intends to issue further guidance with respect to adoption of specific issues addressed by SAB No. 101. Until such time as this additional guidance is issued, the Company is unable to assess the impact, if any, it may have on its financial position or results of operations. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, which amends certain provisions of SFAS 133 to clarify four areas causing difficulties in implementation. The amendment included expanding the normal purchase and sale exemption for supply contracts, permitting the offsetting of certain intercompany foreign currency derivatives and thus reducing the number of third party derivatives, permitting hedge accounting for foreign-currency denominated assets and liabilities, and redefining interest rate risk to reduce sources of ineffectiveness. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 and the corresponding amendments under SFAS 138 on January 1, 2001. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 2. ORGANIZATION. Koger Equity, Inc. ("KE"), a Florida corporation, was incorporated in 1988 for the purpose of investing in the ownership of income producing properties, primarily commercial office buildings. KE is self-administered and self-managed. Koger-Vanguard Partners, L.P. ("KVP") is a Delaware limited partnership, for which KE is the general partner. Koger Equity's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol KE. In addition to managing its own properties, KE, through certain related entities, provides property management services to third parties. In conjunction with Koger Real Estate Services, Inc. ("KRES"), a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KE, KE manages eight office buildings owned by Centoff Realty Company, Inc. ("Centoff"), a subsidiary of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York. 8 9 3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Company is operated in a manner so as to qualify, and has elected tax treatment, as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code (a "REIT"). As a REIT, the Company is required to distribute annually at least 95 percent of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. To the extent that the Company pays dividends equal to 100 percent of REIT taxable income, the earnings of the Company are not taxed at the corporate level. However, the use of net operating loss carryforwards, which may be used to reduce REIT taxable income, are limited for alternative minimum tax purposes. Since the Company had no REIT taxable income during 1999 and does not expect to have REIT taxable income during 2000, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes. However, the Company has recorded a provision of $130,000 for alternative minimum tax for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000. In addition, the Company has recorded a receivable of $147,000 for the refund of alternative minimum taxes paid for 1999. 4. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS. Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in short-term monetary securities. Such temporary cash investments have an original maturity date of less than three months and are deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company contributed 15,557 shares of common stock to the Company's 401(k) Plan. These shares had a value of approximately $262,000 based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange on December 31, 1999. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company contributed 15,603 shares of common stock to the Company's 401(k) Plan. These shares had a value of approximately $268,000 based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange on December 31, 1998. In addition, the Company issued 19,695 shares of common stock as payment for certain 1998 bonuses for senior management. These shares had a value of approximately $285,000 based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange on February 18, 1999. 5. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE. Basic earnings per common share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per common share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive common shares (options) had been issued. The treasury stock method is used to calculate dilutive shares which reduces the gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares purchasable from the proceeds of the options assumed to be exercised. 6. MORTGAGES AND LOANS PAYABLE. At September 30, 2000, the Company had $336,405,000 of loans outstanding, which are collateralized by mortgages on certain operating properties. In conjunction with the sale of the El Paso Center, the Company amended the $89.5 million promissory note with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Northwestern"). This amendment provided for the release of the El Paso Center from the collateral for this loan and required that collateral properties be substituted within 180 days. Until collateral is substituted, $9 million of the outstanding balance of this loan will be subject to recourse to the Company. If collateral is not substituted within 180 days, the Company will be required to make a prepayment of principal in the amount of $9 million plus pay yield maintenance on this amount. Annual maturities for mortgages and loans payable are as follows (in thousands):
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, ------------------------ 2000 $ 1,463 2001 86,633 2002 12,722 2003 5,238 2004 5,674 Subsequent Years 224,675 -------- Total $336,405
======== 9 10 7. DIVIDENDS. The Company paid the following dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2000:
PAYMENT DATE RECORD DATE DIVIDEND PER SHARE ---------------- ----------------- ------------------ February 3, 2000 December 31, 1999 $0.35 May 4, 2000 March 31, 2000 $0.35 August 3, 2000 June 30, 2000 $0.35
During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share payable on November 2, 2000, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2000. A portion of the dividends paid during 2000 may be treated as return of capital for income tax purposes. 8. NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM STOCK SALES. During February 2000, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a program to lend up to $2.5 million to executive officers and department heads for the purpose of exercising options. The loans have a term of 60 months and bear interest at 150 basis points over the applicable LIBOR rate. Through September 30, 2000, options have been exercised to acquire 185,027 shares of common stock under this program. In conjunction with the Company's plan to repurchase up to 2.65 million shares of common stock (the "Shares"), the Board granted to Thomas Crocker, Chief Executive Officer, the right to purchase up to 500,000 Shares and to Robert Onisko, Chief Financial Officer, the right to purchase up to 150,000 Shares. These officers are entitled to make purchases of one Share of every three Shares purchased by the Company as part of this plan. The Shares may be purchased at the same time and for the same prices as the Company purchases Shares. In addition, the Company will loan up to 75 percent of the purchase price for these Shares to Mr. Crocker and Mr. Onisko. These loans will be collateralized by the Shares purchased and will bear interest at 150 basis points over the applicable LIBOR rate. Approximately $836,000 of these loans are subject to recourse and the remaining loans will be without recourse. Accrued interest on these loans is a recourse obligation and any paid interest is not refundable if the stock is returned in settlement of the loans. Through September 30, 2000, Mr. Crocker acquired 302,495 Shares and Mr. Onisko acquired 100,831 Shares under this plan. 9. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN. On September 30, 1990, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of distribution of one right to purchase one share of common stock of the Company on each share of common stock outstanding on October 11, 1990 (the "Rights"). This distribution was done pursuant to a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Board on September 30, 1990. The Rights were issued pursuant to a Common Stock Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") which, under its terms, was scheduled to expire along with the Rights on September 30, 2000. Pursuant to an amendment to the Rights Agreement dated as of August 17, 2000 between the Company and its successor Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent"), the Rights Agreement and the Rights have been extended 10 years, through September 30, 2010. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. The Company reached an agreement with Crocker Realty Trust to provide management services for the 6.1 million square foot portfolio of Crocker Realty Trust subject to documentation. During November 2000, the agreement with Centoff to manage eight office buildings was terminated due to the sale of these buildings by Centoff. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1999. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Rental and other rental services revenues totaled $40,750,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to $39,157,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This increase in rental revenues resulted primarily from (i) increases in the Company's average rental rate and (ii) increases in rental revenues ($4,323,000) from the properties acquired and construction 10 11 completed during 1999 and 2000. The effect of these increases was partially offset by the reduction of rental revenues ($3,932,000) caused by the sale of two office parks during 1999 and two office parks during 2000. At September 30, 2000, the Company's buildings were on average 90 percent leased with an average rental rate of $17.87. Excluding the four buildings which were in the lease-up period at September 30, 2000, the remainder of the Company's buildings were on average 92 percent leased. At September 30, 1999, the Company's buildings were on average 92 percent leased with an average rental rate of $16.81. Rental and other rental services revenues increased to $124,287,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, compared to $116,340,000 during the same period last year. This increase resulted primarily from (i) increases in the Company's average rental rate and (ii) increases in rental revenues ($12,443,000) from the properties acquired and construction completed during 1999 and 2000. The effect of these increases was partially offset by the reduction of rental revenues ($10,781,000) caused by the sale of office parks as described above. Management fee revenues totaled $604,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to $641,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This decrease was due to the reduction in fees earned under the management contract with Centoff due to the management contract for one of the Centoff centers being transferred from the Company to Koger Realty Services, Inc. ("KRSI") on January 1, 2000. The Company earned management fee revenues totaling $153,000 for the management and leasing of this property during the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Management fee revenues decreased to $1,255,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, compared to $1,735,000 during the same period last year, due to the reduction in fees earned under the management contract with Centoff. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company earned management fee revenues totaling $834,000 under agreements which were terminated during 1999. Income from Koger Realty Services, Inc. totaled $191,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to $471,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This decrease was due primarily to the increase in the accrual for compensation expense related to a bonus plan which is based on KE's common stock price. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, income from Koger Realty Services, Inc. declined $565,000, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses. Property operations expense includes charges for utilities, real estate taxes, janitorial, maintenance, property insurance, provision for uncollectible rents and management costs. The amount of property operations expense and its percentage of total rental revenues for the applicable periods are as follows:
PERCENT OF TOTAL PERIOD AMOUNT RENTAL REVENUES ---------------------------- ----------- ---------------- September 30, 2000 - Quarter $16,267,000 39.9% September 30, 1999 - Quarter 16,272,000 41.6% September 30, 2000 - Nine Months 47,964,000 38.6% September 30, 1999 - Nine Months 46,240,000 39.7%
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, property operations expense increased primarily due to (i) increased accruals for real estate taxes, (ii) increased accruals to provision for uncollectible accounts and (iii) increases in property operations expense ($4,959,000) for the properties acquired and construction completed during 1999 and 2000. The effect of these increases was partially offset by the decline in property operations expense ($4,799,000) caused by the sale of two office parks during 1999 and two office parks during 2000. Depreciation expense has been calculated on the straight-line method based upon the useful lives of the Company's depreciable assets, generally 3 to 40 years. Depreciation expense increased $679,000 and $2,378,000, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods last year, due to the properties acquired and construction completed during 1999 and 2000. Amortization expense decreased $364,000 and $226,000, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods last year, due primarily to amortization of deferred tenant costs related to properties sold during 1999. 11 12 Interest expense increased by $1,581,000 and $4,246,000, respectively, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods last year, primarily due to the increase in the average balance of mortgages and loans payable. At September 30, 2000, the weighted average interest rate on the Company's outstanding debt was approximately 8.04 percent. General and administrative expenses for the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, totaled $2,001,000 and $2,192,000, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in legal and other professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, totaled $16,088,000 and $6,246,000, respectively. This increase is primarily due to certain non-recurring charges for (i) costs of a corporate reorganization ($6,832,000), (ii) severance payments made to certain former senior executives ($2,562,000), (iii) changes in termination benefits under the supplemental executive retirement plan ($584,000), (iv) payments to retiring directors ($138,000) and (v) initial fees for listing on the New York Stock Exchange ($161,000). Direct costs of management contracts decreased $65,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same period last year, due to decreased costs associated with providing property management services for the Centoff management contract caused by the transfer of the management contract for one of the Centoff centers to KRSI. The Company incurred costs totaling $126,000 for the management and leasing of this property during the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Compared to the prior year, direct costs of management contracts decreased $430,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Company incurred costs totaling $428,000, during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, for the management and leasing of (i) the property for which the management contract was transferred to KRSI and (ii) the property which was sold by Centoff during 1999. Net income totaled $9,346,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to net income of $11,538,000 for the corresponding period of 1999. This decrease is due primarily to (i) an increase in interest expense, (ii) an increase in depreciation expense and (iii) a decrease in gain on sale or disposition of assets. These items were partially offset by increases in rental revenues. Net income decreased $7,871,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same period last year. This decrease is due primarily to increases in (i) general and administrative expenses due to corporate reorganization costs, (ii) property operations expense, (iii) interest expense and (iv) depreciation expense. These items were partially offset by increases in (i) gain on sale or disposition of assets and (ii) rental revenues. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. OPERATING ACTIVITIES - During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company generated approximately $37.3 million in net cash from operating activities. The Company's primary internal sources of cash are (i) the collection of rents from buildings owned by the Company and (ii) the receipt of management fees paid to the Company in respect of properties managed on behalf of Centoff. As a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is required to pay out annually, as dividends, 95 percent of its REIT taxable income (which, due to non-cash charges, including depreciation and net operating loss carryforwards, may be substantially less than cash flow). In the past, the Company has paid out dividends in amounts at least equal to its REIT taxable income. The Company believes that its cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to cover debt service payments and to pay the dividends required to maintain REIT status through 2000. The level of cash flow generated by rents depends primarily on the occupancy rates of the Company's buildings and changes in rental rates on new and renewed leases and under escalation provisions in existing leases. At September 30, 2000, leases representing approximately 6.2 percent of the gross annualized rent from the Company's properties, without regard to the exercise of options to renew, were due to expire during the remainder of 2000. This represents 215 leases for space in buildings located in 18 of the 23 centers or locations in which the Company owns buildings. Certain of these tenants may not renew their leases or may reduce their demand for space. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, leases were renewed on approximately 53 percent of the Company's usable square feet, which were scheduled to expire during the nine month period. For those leases which were renewed, the average rental rate increased from $16.82 to $18.31, an increase of 8.9 percent. Based upon the number 12 13 of leases which will expire during 2000 and 2001 and the competition for tenants in the markets in which the Company operates, the Company has and expects to continue to offer incentives to certain new and renewal tenants. These incentives may include the payment of tenant improvement costs and in certain markets reduced rents during initial lease periods. The Company continues to benefit from existing economic conditions and stable vacancy levels for office buildings in many of the metropolitan areas in which the Company owns buildings. The Company believes that the southeastern and southwestern regions of the United States offer excellent growth potential due to their diverse regional economies, expanding metropolitan areas, skilled work force and moderate labor costs. However, the Company cannot predict whether such economic growth will continue. Cash flow from operations could be reduced if economic growth were not to continue in the Company's markets and if this resulted in lower occupancy and rental rates for the Company's buildings. Governmental tenants (including the State of Florida and the United States Government) which account for approximately 19.8 percent of the Company's leased space at September 30, 2000, may be subject to budget reductions in times of recession and governmental austerity measures. Consequently, there can be no assurance that governmental appropriations for rents may not be reduced. Additionally, certain of the Company's private sector tenants may reduce their need for office space in the future. INVESTING ACTIVITIES - At September 30, 2000, substantially all of the Company's invested assets were in real properties. Improvements to the Company's existing properties have been financed through internal operations. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company's expenditures for improvements to existing properties decreased $1,846,000 from the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to a decrease in expenditures for tenant improvements. This decrease in expenditures for tenant improvements was primarily due to (i) the sale of two office parks during the third quarter of 1999 and (ii) fewer leased square feet expiring during the first nine months of 2000 compared to 1999. On June 1, 2000, the Company sold the Tulsa Center (containing 476,400 usable square feet and 10 acres of undeveloped land) for approximately $28,844,000, net of selling costs. The Company sold approximately 5.6 acres of unimproved land located in Richmond, Virginia for approximately $799,000, net of selling costs, on July 10, 2000. On August 11, 2000, the Company sold the El Paso Center (containing 315,600 usable square feet) for approximately $20,077,000, net of selling costs. The sale of these properties when combined with certain property adjustments resulted in a gain of $6,437,000. The Company has two buildings under construction, which will contain approximately 148,000 usable square feet. Expenditures for construction of these two buildings are expected to total approximately $14.9 million, excluding land and tenant improvement costs. FINANCING ACTIVITIES - The Company has a $150 million secured revolving credit facility ($82 million of which was outstanding on September 30, 2000 at a weighted average interest rate of 8.07 percent) provided by First Union National Bank of Florida, AmSouth Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank of Rhode Island, Compass Bank and Guaranty Federal Bank. Loan maturities and normal amortization of mortgages and loans payable are expected to total approximately $4.9 million over the next 12 months. However, the Company's secured revolving credit facility will mature in December 2001. The Company has filed shelf registration statements with respect to the possible issuance of up to $300 million of its common and/or preferred stock and the Company has issued $91.6 million of its common stock under such registration statements. At September 30, 2000, the Company had 20 office buildings, containing approximately 1.6 million usable square feet, which were unencumbered. The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking statements concerning 2000. The actual results of operations for 2000 could differ materially from those projected because of factors affecting the financial markets, reactions of the Company's existing and prospective investors, the ability of the Company to identify and execute development projects and acquisition opportunities, the ability of the Company to renew and enter into new leases on favorable terms, and other risk factors. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - - Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information for Purpose of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1999. 13 14 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK INTEREST RATE RISK. The Company currently has a $150 million secured revolving credit facility with variable interest rates. The Company may incur additional variable rate debt in the future to meet its financing needs. Increases in interest rates on such debt could increase the Company's interest expense, which would adversely affect the Company's cash flow and the amount of distributions to its shareholders. The Company has not entered into any interest rate hedge contracts to mitigate this interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had $82 million outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility. If the weighted average interest rate on this variable rate debt changes 100 basis points higher or lower, annual interest expense would be increased or decreased by approximately $820,000. PART II.

(1) The percent leased rates have been calculated by dividing total multi-tenant usable square feet leased in an office building by multi-tenant usable square feet in such building. (2) Rental rates are computed by dividing (a) total annualized base rents (which excludes expense pass-throughs and reimbursements) for a Koger Center or location as of September 30, 2000 by (b) the multi-tenant usable square feet applicable to such total annualized rents. (3) Includes a building which is currently in the lease-up period. (4) Excludes corporate office space from calculation. Includes the effect of three net leases where tenants lease the entire building and pay certain operating costs in addition to base rent. 15 16 (b) The following schedule sets forth for all of the Company's buildings (i) the number of leases which will expire during the remainder of calendar year 2000 and calendar years 2001 through 2008, (ii) the total multi-tenant usable area in square feet covered by such leases, (iii) the percentage of total multi-tenant usable square feet represented by such leases, (iv) the average annual rent per square foot for such leases, (v) the current annualized rents represented by such leases, and (vi) the percentage of gross annualized rents contributed by such leases. This information is based on the buildings owned by the Company on September 30, 2000 and on the terms of leases in effect as of September 30, 2000, on the basis of then existing base rentals, and without regard to the exercise of options to renew. Furthermore, the information below does not reflect that some leases have provisions for early termination for various reasons, including, in the case of government entities, lack of budget appropriations. Leases were renewed on approximately 53 percent of the Company's multi-tenant usable square feet, which were scheduled to expire during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000.

(c) The Company believes that Funds from Operations is one measure of the performance of an equity real estate investment trust. Funds from Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Funds from Operations is calculated as follows (in thousands):
