INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On April 28, 2005, we purchased an existing multi-tenant industrial park known as Paramount Business Center, a single-story two building property built in 1985 consisting of approximately 30,157 square feet of leasable space on approximately 1.66 acres of land.  The acquisition price was $3,100,000 plus approximately $55,000 of closing costs (which are not fully determined at this time).  This equates to approximately $105 per square foot of leasable space.  The property is currently 100% leased to 10 tenants whose spaces range in size from approximately 1,988 square feet to 4,336 square feet.  Currently, there are no vacant spaces. We purchased this property for all cash, without debt financing.

The property’s historical occupancy rates and average effective annual rental per square foot for each of the last five years are as follows:

In evaluating this property as a potential acquisition and determining the appropriate amount of consideration to be paid for the property, we considered a variety of factors including overall valuation of net rental income, location, demographics, physical condition, tenant mix, quality of tenants, length of leases, price per square foot, occupancy and analyzed how the property compares to comparable properties in its market.  We believe that this property is well located, has good roadway access and will attract quality tenants.  This property will be subject to competition from similar multi-tenant industrial parks within its market area, and its economic performance could be affected by changes in local economic conditions.  We did not consider any other factors materially relevant to the decision to acquire this property.  In the opinion of management, this property is adequately covered by insurance.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the depreciable basis of the property is estimated at approximately $2,100,000, which is subject to final adjustment.  The depreciation expense will be calculated using the straight-line method, based upon an estimated useful life of 39 years for the building improvement costs and the related lease term for the tenant improvements.  Leasing commissions will be amortized over the initial term of the related leases.  The realty tax rate is 1.26% and the annual realty taxes are projected to be $32,587 for the initial year subsequent to the purchase.

 

Section 9 — Financial Statements and Exhibits

 

Item 9.01  Financial Statements and Exhibits

 

(a)           Financial statements of businesses acquired.  We will file financial statements relating the acquisition of Paramount Business Center by amendment to this Current Report.

 

(b)           Pro forma financial informatio.  We will file unaudited pro forma financial statements relating to the acquisition of Paramount Business Center by amendment to this Current Report.
