2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements arc unaudited and include the accounts of the
Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned limited liability companies. All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of
operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the years then ended included elsewhere in this prospectus.

from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results for the full year. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to
conform to current period presentation.

Investments in Real Estate—Investments in real estate consist of farmland and improvements
made to the farmland, consisting of buildings, wells, irrigation and drain systems. and trees and vines
