Forward-Looking Information:

Certain statements contained in this news release may constitute
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but
not always, identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”,
“plan”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “intend”, “should”, and similar
expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events
to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this news
release are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by
PIRET, including: the intention to close the acquisition on an all cash
basis, the intention to place a new mortgage on the property at a
loan-to-value of 60% with an anticipated interest rate of not more than
3.75% and the expectation to close within the month of June.

Although PIRET believes that the expectations and assumptions on which
the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance
should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because PIRET
can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since
forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by
their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual
results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to
a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to,
the failure to satisfy the conditions to complete the acquisition, the
inability to obtain mortgage financing on expected terms, competitive
factors in the industries in which PIRET operates, prevailing economic
conditions, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of
PIRET.

The forward-looking statements contained in this news release represent
PIRET’s expectations as of the date hereof, and are subject to change
after such date. PIRET disclaims any intention or obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required under
applicable securities regulations.
