This material may contain forward-looking statements that involve assumptions, uncertainties and risks, some of which are set forth below. These statements are not guarantees and should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements, or that our objectives and/or plans, will be achieved.

A real estate investment program offering is subject to the following Risks: The failure to qualify, or maintain the requirements, to be taxed as a REIT would reduce the amount of income available for distribution and limit a REIT's ability to make distributions to its stockholders. No public market initially exists for a REIT's shares of common stock, and one may never exist for this or any other such type of real estate program. Securities are being offered on a best efforts basis. These are speculative securities and as such involve a high degree of risk. There are substantial conflicts among an offering and its sponsor, advisor, dealer manager and property manager. There is no assurance that the value of the real estate will be suffi­cient to return any portion of investors' original capital. Operating results will be affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market and we cannot assure you that there will be growth in the value of the properties.
