However, the pro forma adjustments indicate that excluding the sold property would have reduced historical rental revenues and net income for the periods presented. The sale removed approximately $0.744 million in annual rental revenue and $0.142 million in annual depreciation and amortization expenses based on the 2015 pro forma adjustments.

The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future strategy, or specific risk factors beyond the standard disclaimer that pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future results. The property was sold to an unaffiliated third-party owner-user following the expiration of a lease to a single tenant on May 23, 2016. The transaction was completed on June 7, 2016.
