PRO FORMA INTRODUCTION Operating Statement Huntington Ridge Apartments is owned and operated by an investor whose main business is outside of real estate ownership. As such the property is managed and operated by a family member. While well run and maintained the property offers immediate upside potential from tighter operations and maximization of current rental rates bringing them to the market level as outlined in the rental survey following in this report. The following Pro Forma operating statement utilizes a current September 2016 rent roll annualized as well as a comparison column indicating operations at market rents. Expenses are year end 2015 unless noted. It should be noted that real estate taxes were increased during the 2013 revaluation process and have not been challenged by current ownership even though the increase was substantial. While no representation is made, tax savings may be a possibility through the appeal process in the future should the purchaser wish to appeal after taking ownership. 19
