The impact of the Company’s $4 million share offering in October 2009 offset a significant decline in interest expense thereby contributing to the decline in per share FFO results.

Revenues for the 345 stores owned by the Company for the entire quarter of each year increased by 0.2% from those of the second quarter of 2009, the result of a 20 basis point drop in average occupancy offset by a 40 basis point increase in rates, and solid improvements in other, non-rental revenues.
