3.       Please tell us why you believe including a pre-merger legacy HTA NOI
adjustment and
         presenting a pro forma cash NOI measure are appropriate. In your
response, please tell us
         how you considered the definition of NOI, which is intended to present
NOI for same
         stores actually owned, in making your determination and how you
calculated the pre-
         merger legacy HTA NOI adjustment. Also, tell us how you considered
Question 100.05
         when labeling your non-GAAP measure Proforma Cash NOI. This also
applies to your

         Please clarify for us if these presentations comply with the

         adjustments required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X. To the extent
these presentations

of FFO,
         Normalized FFO and FAD comply with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) and Question
101.05 of the
         Division's Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure

         Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations in determining that
your presentation
         is appropriate.
