PART III – NARRATIVE

The registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 could not be completed and filed by March 31, 2015 without undue hardship and expense to the registrant due to the registrant’s engagement of a new independent auditor in February 2015. As previously disclosed by the registrant in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2, 2015, the registrant’s audit committee approved the engagement of KPMG LLP as the registrant’s new independent auditor. Because they were not appointed until February 2, 2015, KPMG LLP has informed the registrant that they will require additional time to complete the audit of the registrant’s financial statements. Attached hereto and filed as an exhibit to this Form 12b-25 is the statement of the registrant’s new independent auditor as contemplated by Rule 12b-25(c).
PART IV – OTHER INFORMATION

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). x Yes ¨ No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? x Yes ¨ No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the registrant acquired 111 properties, compared to seven properties acquired during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. In addition, as of December 31, 2014, the registrant had 83,718,853 shares of common stock outstanding and owned a total of 118 properties, compared to 7,529,789 shares of common stock outstanding and seven properties owned as of December 31, 2013. As a result of these changes, the registrant expects to reflect changes in its results of operations, including net loss, total assets and total liabilities, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, compared to those reported for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Because the registrant is continuing to analyze and compile data for its results of operations at this time, it cannot currently provide reasonable quantitative estimates with respect to the anticipated changes in its results of operations.
