See below at *

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.

* As described in Part III of this Notification of Late Filing, the Company is in the process of completing its First Quarter 10-Q and the work thereon has delayed the completion of the Second Quarter 10-Q.  Because the completion of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, is in progress, the Company is unable to state with specificity the amount of net income it expects to report for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.  However, the Company anticipates improvement in its results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year, in part as a result of the contribution of the Company’s recently acquired sites.

WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

THIS NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING MAY CONTAIN STATEMENTS THAT CONSTITUTE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.  ALSO, WHENEVER THE COMPANY USES WORDS SUCH AS “BELIEVE”, “EXPECT”, “ANTICIPATE”, “INTEND”, “PLAN”, “ESTIMATE” OR SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS, THE COMPANY IS MAKING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.  THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED UPON THE COMPANY’S PRESENT INTENT, BELIEFS OR EXPECTATIONS, BUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR.  ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS.  FOR EXAMPLE:

·                  THIS NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING STATES THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT EXPECT TO FILE THE SECOND QUARTER 10-Q WITHIN THE 5 CALENDAR DAY EXTENSION PERIOD PROVIDED BY RULE 12B-25, BUT IS WORKING TO FILE BOTH THE FIRST QUARTER 10-Q AND THE SECOND QUARTER 10-Q AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  THIS STATEMENT MAY IMPLY THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE EACH OF THE FIRST QUARTER 10-Q AND THE SECOND QUARTER 10-Q IN THE NEAR TERM AND THAT IT WILL NOT SUFFER ANY ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF THE LATE FILINGS.  HOWEVER, THE COMPANY MAY NOT FILE EITHER THE FIRST QUARTER 10-Q OR THE SECOND QUARTER 10-Q IN THE NEAR TERM.  FURTHER, AS A RESULT OF THE COMPANY’S INABILITY TO FILE SUCH REPORTS WITHIN THE RESPECTIVE EXTENSION PERIODS PROVIDED BY RULE 12B-25, THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO USE ITS SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3 WILL BE RESTRICTED AND THE COMPANY MAY INCUR OTHER NEGATIVE EFFECTS.

·                  THIS NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING STATES THAT THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES IMPROVEMENTS IN ITS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014, AS COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD IN THE PRIOR YEAR, IN PART AS A RESULT OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE COMPANY’S RECENTLY ACQUIRED SITES.  HOWEVER, THE COMPANY HAS NOT YET COMPLETED ITS CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR INCLUSION IN THE SECOND QUARTER 10-Q.  AS A RESULT, IMPROVEMENT IN THE COMPANY’S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014, MAY NOT BE ACHIEVED DUE TO MANY FACTORS, SOME OF WHICH ARE OUTSIDE THE COMPANY’S CONTROL.

FOR THESE REASONS, AMONG OTHERS, INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS IN THIS NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING.  ALL FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY ON THE DATE HEREOF, AND THE COMPANY UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATION TO REVISE OR UPDATE THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER THE DATE OF THIS FILING, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
