If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Registrant anticipates changes in the results of operations since the corresponding period for the year ended December 31, 2012 due asset acquisitions and divestitures previously reported by the Registrant. For the reasons set forth in Part III above, a reasonable estimate of results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 cannot currently be made due to pending finalization of the year-end audit.
