Highlight of Business Operations:

At June 30, 2010, we classified real estate with a carrying amount of $7.8 million as held for sale on our balance sheet, which includes three properties owned by Crest, valued at $3.8 million. Additionally, we anticipate selling investment properties from our portfolio that have not yet been specifically identified, from which we anticipate receiving between $10 million and $35 million in proceeds during the next 12 months. We intend to invest these proceeds into new property acquisitions, if there are attractive opportunities available. However, we cannot guarantee that we will sell properties during the next 12 months or be able to invest the proceeds from the sales of any properties in new properties.

We continue our 41-year policy of paying distributions monthly. Monthly distributions per share increased in April 2010 by $0.0003125 to $0.1433125 and in July 2010 by $0.0003125 to $0.143625.
