27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We
intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions.
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans,
strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words
&#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;target,&#148; &#147;potential,&#148;
&#147;focus,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;should&#148; or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual
effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a materially
adverse affect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in
national, international, regional and local economic conditions generally and real estate markets
specifically; changes in legislation/regulation (including changes to laws governing the taxation
of real estate investment trusts) and actions of regulatory authorities (including the Internal
Revenue Service); our ability to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust;
the availability and attractiveness of financing (including both public and private capital) to us
and to our potential counterparties; the availability and attractiveness of terms of additional
debt repurchases; interest rates; our credit agency ratings; our ability to comply with applicable
financial covenants; competition; changes in supply and demand for industrial properties (including
land, the supply and demand for which is inherently more volatile than other types of industrial
property) in the Company&#146;s current and proposed market areas; difficulties in consummating
acquisitions and dispositions; risks related to our investments in properties through joint
ventures; environmental liabilities; slippages in development or lease-up schedules; tenant
creditworthiness; higher-than-expected costs; changes in asset valuations and related impairment
charges; changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to real
estate investment trusts; international business risks and those additional factors described under
