The Company acquired the properties through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, ART Florida Portfolio I, Ltd., ART Florida Portfolio II, Ltd. and ART Florida Portfolio III, Ltd., each a newly-formed Texas limited partnership (collectively, the "Partnerships").

The pro forma statements of operations present the Company's operations as if the transaction described above had occurred at the beginning of each of the periods presented.
