CAMDEN                              NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

                                    (In thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures management believes
are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's performance. Camden's definitions and
calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other
REITs, and thus may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should
not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our
operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a
measure of our liquidity.

FFO

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") currently
defines FFO as net income attributable to common shares computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or
losses from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation
and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures. Camden's definition of diluted FFO also assumes conversion of
all dilutive convertible securities, including minority interests, which are
convertible into common equity. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate
supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or
losses on dispositions of operating properties and excluding depreciation, FFO
can help one compare the operating performance of a company's real estate
between periods or as compared to different companies. A reconciliation of net
income attributable to common shareholders to FFO is provided below:

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI is defined by the Company as total property income less property operating
and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes. The Company considers NOI to be
an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income
attributable to common shareholders because it reflects the operating
performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level property
management overhead or general and administrative costs. A reconciliation of net
income attributable to common shareholders to net operating income is provided
below:

EBITDA

EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, including net operating income from discontinued
operations, excluding equity in income of joint ventures, gain on sale of real
estate assets, and net income allocated to noncontrolling interests. The Company
considers EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating
performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it
represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt, and
excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. A reconciliation of net
income attributable to common shareholders to EBITDA is provided below:
