NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet

(A)    Represents the Company's historical consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014, which was derived from the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

(B)    Represents the Company's sale of the industrial properties and the necessary adjustments to eliminate the impact of the assets and liabilities associated with the sold industrial properties.

(C)    Represents the net proceeds received from the sale of the industrial properties.

(D)    Represents the Company's sale of the industrial properties and the related gain on sale of real estate.

2.    Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations

(A)    Represents the Company's historical consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, which were derived from the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

(B)    Represents the Company's sale of the industrial properties and the necessary adjustments to eliminate the impact of historical rental income, tenant recoveries and other income, property expenses and deprecation and other amortization associated with the sold industrial properties. The adjustments exclude the effect of the gain on sale of real estate that would have been recognized on the sale of the industrial properties, as this represents a non-recurring transaction and is excluded for pro forma income statement purposes.
