RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Pending Acquisition

Industrial Building, Jacksonville, Florida. We intend to acquire, through a wholly owned subsidiary, a Class A bulk industrial building totaling 817,680 square feet located on a 53 acre site within the 1,500 acre Imeson International Industrial Park in Jacksonville, Florida (the “Jacksonville Property”), and includes 166 parking spaces. The building, which is 100% leased through February 2018 to Samsonite, LLC, a subsidiary of Samsonite International, S.A., the world’s largest travel luggage company (“Samsonite”), currently serves as Samsonite’s primary distribution center in North America. The Jacksonville Property was constructed in 2008 and is centrally located within 1.2 miles of Interstate 95 with direct access to Jacksonville Port Authority and Jacksonville International Airport. We believe the Jacksonville Property is suitable and adequate for its intended use.

In connection with the Jacksonville Property, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the seller, Imeson West I, LLC, a non-related Florida limited liability company, effective May 29, 2012 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), subject to various contingencies. As a result of certain contingencies being met, including completion of due diligence on July 18, 2012, we deem the acquisition as probable. However, our obligation to close the acquisition is subject to the mortgagee’s approval of our assumption of the existing mortgage on the property.

The purchase price for the Jacksonville Property is $42.5 million. We expect to fund over 60% of the purchase price by our assumption of the existing loan on the property, and we are currently negotiating assumption terms with the mortgagee. The purchase price, net of the existing loan expected to be assumed by us, together with closing costs, will be paid from net proceeds of our current public offering. We expect to pay our advisor an investment services fee of approximately $786,250 at the time of the closing of the acquisition.

In connection with this pending acquisition, we funded an escrowed earnest money deposit of $250,000, which became non-refundable upon the expiration of the due diligence period on July 18, 2012, at which time we funded an additional $250,000 non-refundable deposit. The total deposit, plus any additional deposit, will be applied toward the purchase price at the closing of the acquisition. The closing of the acquisition is subject to the mortgagee’s consent to our assumption of the existing loan, and certain other non-contractual contingencies and there is no assurance that such contingencies will be met. If the contingencies are satisfied, we expect that closing of the acquisition will occur in August, subject to our right to extend the closing for an additional 30 days upon payment of an additional non-refundable earnest money deposit of $250,000.

The lease with Samsonite has over five years remaining on an initial 10-year term, expiring in February 2018. The tenant has two five-year extension options at fair market value rent, but not less than the then expiring rent of the initial or renewal terms. The current annual rent is approximately $3.5 million. During the remaining term of the lease, there are fixed rental escalations of 12.6% in March 2014 and 6.7% in March 2017. The landlord’s expenses for common area maintenance are reimbursed by the tenant and the tenant pays real estate taxes, insurance and utilities directly. Under the lease terms, the landlord is responsible for structure replacement costs, including foundation, floor slab, exterior walls, structure columns and roof.

Management of our advisor currently has no plans for material renovations or other capital improvements at this property. Real estate taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $421,152, calculated by multiplying the property assessed value by the applicable tax millage rates ranging from .00345 to 1.00353 per $100 of assessed value by the applicable taxing authorities. We will calculate the estimated depreciable basis in the Jacksonville Property in connection with the closing of the acquisition. Generally, we calculate depreciation expense for federal income tax purposes by using the straight line method and we depreciate buildings and land improvements based on estimated useful lives of 40 years and 20 years, respectively.
