Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
- Acquisition Price: The company acquired the Lima Medical Office Portfolio for a total purchase price of $25,250,000, plus closing costs.
- Financing: The acquisition was funded by borrowing $26,000,000 under a secured revolving line of credit with LaSalle Bank National Association.

Material Changes and Transaction History
The acquisition of the Lima Medical Office Portfolio from St. Rita's Medical Center involved a complex negotiation process spanning from August 14, 2007, to December 7, 2007. The deal underwent six amendments to the original Purchase and Sale Agreement, resulting in:
- Price Adjustment: The initial agreed price of $25,050,000 was amended to $25,675,000, with a final closing price of $25,250,000.
- Asset Scope Changes: The portfolio composition was modified through amendments to include specific units (e.g., units 302 and 303 at 825 West Market Street) and exclude others (e.g., unit 260 at 825 West Market Street).
- Title Conveyance: Amendments clarified that the buyer would receive fee simple title to the Ground Lease Properties upon closing.
- Closing Date Extensions: The closing date was extended multiple times, finally settling on December 7, 2007.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Contingent Payment: A portion of the amended purchase price ($425,000) is contingent upon the owner of Suite 240 at 750 West High Street electing to sell their interest to the Seller before December 31, 2009, which would trigger a requirement for the REIT to purchase the unit.
- Post-Closing Obligations: The Sixth Amendment made the delivery of the property management agreement a post-closing item and required updated ground lease and condominium estoppels within 30 days of closing.
- Financial Reporting: The filing states it is not practical to provide required financial statements or pro forma financial information at this time; these will be filed as an amendment within 71 days of the filing deadline.
