Ben Hansel: You recently re-released an updated appraisal on one property. I'm eager to see what the appraisals from the others look like. Do you have plans on doing that?
First Ben Thanks for your support and for your question. The answer is yes. We are a we're currently in the process of appraising all nine of our properties.
J.W. Roth: First, Ben, thanks for your support and for your question. The answer is yes. You know, we're currently in the process of appraising all nine of our properties. I can tell you the number is going to be significant. As you know, you know, there's just, and always has been, there's just a disconnect, and it drives me crazy, there's a disconnect between the value of our properties, the true value of our properties and the value that we carry our real estate on our balance sheet. Let me give you an example about that. The reason I say it is because under GAAP, we have to carry all of our real estate on our balance sheet at basis.

As you know, there's just a, and always has been, there's just a disconnect, and it drives me crazy. There's a disconnect between the value of our properties, the true value of our properties, and the value that we carry, our real estate, on our balance sheet. Let me give you an example about that. The reason I say it is because under GAAP, we have to carry all of our real estate on our balance sheet at basis. While the value might be much, much higher, a contributed piece of property by a municipality sits on our balance sheet at zero. Let me give you an example.
And.
I can tell you that the number is going to be significant as you know, there's just and always has been there is just a disconnect and it drives me crazy, but theres a disconnect between the value of.
Of our properties the true value of our properties and the value that we carry our real estate on our balance sheet.
And let me give you an example about that so and the reason I say it is because under GAAP, we have to carry all of our real estate on our balance sheet at basis, and so while the value might be much much higher AR contributed piece of property by municipality sits on our balance sheet at zero. Let me give you. An example, let's pretend a municipality.
J.W. Roth: While the value might be much higher, a contributed piece of property by a municipality sits on our balance sheet at zero. Let me give you an example. Let's pretend a municipality comes along and contributes a $50 million piece of property to us as part of a development agreement for us to build in their community. Well, that ground, while it might be worth $50 million, goes on our balance sheet at zero. There is just an obvious disconnect between mark-to-market values and GAAP basis values on our balance sheet.

Well, that ground, while it might be worth $50 million, goes on our balance sheet at zero. There's just an obvious disconnect between mark-to-market values and GAAP basis values on our balance sheet. I look forward to, over the course of the next few weeks, as we wrap up these appraisals, to come out with announcements so that investors can get their heads around the true value of the assets that sit on our balance sheet. I appreciate the question.
