The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the

The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in accordance
with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange

to those expected to be incurred in the proposed future operations of the
Property. Items excluded consist of interest and depreciation and amortization.
2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the statement of revenues and certain expenses in

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Property is being leased to tenants under operating leases.
Minimum rental income is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the
