The Company reinforces and reviews its conflict of interest policy with its Board of Trustees and its management staff annually and requires the Board and management to disclose its business relationships or interests on a formal executed disclosure statement. These disclosures are reviewed by first, the Audit Committee, and then, in summary, with the full Board of Trustees if a conflict of interest is disclosed. If a transaction or a proposed transaction occurs interimly during the period between disclosures with an interested party, such transaction or proposed transaction is brought before the full Board of Trustees for review and approval prior to the effective date of the transaction. Interested parties do not participate in any portion of the

In addition, as it relates to potential management conflicts, management, as part of the employee policies in the Companys Employee Handbook, is required to report and disclose such interests to our Human Resource Department.
