(a) Amounts for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 have been reclassified to present properties sold. As a result, operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations from continuing operations for all periods presented.
 
 
(b) Due to the registrant's loss in the period, the coverage ratio was less than 1:1. The registrant must generate additional earnings of $48,253 for the year ended December 31, 2012, $32,156 for the year ended December 31, 2011, $62,498 for the year ended December 31, 2010, and $25,147 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1.
