                                                            in  the  Ruston  market.  Below  is  a  brief  update  on  industry  trends,
                                                            investment return and investment performance.

                                                            INVESTMENT RETURN


                                                            Recently,  the  Manager  approved  the  excess  cash  distribution  to  the
                                                            Members  for  Q3  in  the  amount  of  $150,000.   The  Manager  also  closed
                                                            the Preferred bank account at TrustMark Bank and released the remaining
                                                            funds  in  the  amount  of  $50,000,  based  on  the  membership  interest  as
                                                            outlined in the operating agreement.


                                                            INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE


                                                            Ads promoting early/summer move-ins are live. Year one showed interest in
                                                            June and July move-ins. We were able to pick up approximately 25 leases
                                                            last year with the promise of signing leases for move-in before the start of
                                                            rush week and or athletic orientations. For the year two lease-up, we are
                                                            adding the incentive of free summer rent with a 14-month lease as an extra
                                                            incentive to sign with The Preserve.


                                                            New  marketing  ventures  have  been  initiated  for  the  year  two  lease-up.
                                                            One highlight is the contract with La Tech Athletics. This venture is a cross
                                                            promotion with the university in which Preserve’s advertises the chance to
                                                            win on year of free rent. A contract was signed with the La Tech Orientation
                                                            team. The Preserve will be featured on the orientation app. Orientations will
                                                            begin with the Honors Session June 8th. Session 2 will be held June 23rd,
                                                            session 3 will be held July 13th and the final session is scheduled for July
                                                            27th.

                                                            was 17 leases per week. There are 21 weeks until classes begin. Closing
                                                            on 17 leases per week, The Preserve will reach 90% occupancy. We are
                                                            pushing  to  reach  proforma  occupancy  of  95%  with  the  new  marketing
                                                            initiatives.

                                                            Thank you for your partnership.
