Operating Results:

Rental income for the second quarter of 2012 increased 6.8% to $11.71 million compared to $10.96 million for the second quarter of 2011. The increase is attributable primarily to rental income earned from the twelve properties acquired beginning March 2011.

Net income for the second quarter of 2012 increased by approximately 11.9% to $5.75 million ($0.39 per diluted share), compared to $5.14 million ($0.35 per diluted share) for the second quarter in the prior year.
