Important Notices Important Notices to Readers and Disclaimers Legal Disclaimer Regarding the Offering. The offering described in this presentation will be made only by means of an offering circular. An offering statement on Form 1-A relating to the offering of common stock of Aspen REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) referred to herein has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become qualified. You may obtain a copy of the most recent version of the preliminary offering circular with the following link: www.m-vest.com/AspenREIT. This presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No money or other consideration is being solicited at this time with respect to such an offering, and if sent in response to these materials for such an offering, it will not be accepted. No securities may be sold, and no offer to buy the securities can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received for an offering under Regulation A, until the offering statement is qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of its acceptance given after the qualification date. A person's indication of interest is non-binding and involves no obligation or commitment of any kind. Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements. This presentation may include "forward-looking statements." To the extent that the information presented in this presentation discusses financial projections, information, or expectations about the Company’s business plans, results of operations, returns on equity, markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “should,” “may,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “plans,” and “proposes.” Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider any cautionary statements and other disclosures, including the statements made under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the offering statement referred to above. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are contained, and the Company does not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements except as may be required by law. General Disclaimers. The shares offered by the Company are highly speculative, and investing in the Company’s shares involves significant risks. The investment is suitable only for persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. Furthermore, potential investors must understand that such investment could be illiquid for an indefinite period of time. No public market currently exists for the shares, and if a public market develops following the offering, it may not be active or continue. The Company intends to list its shares on a national exchange and doing so entails significant ongoing corporate obligations including but not limited to disclosure, filing and notification requirements, as well compliance with applicable continued quantitative and qualitative listing standards. Additional information concerning risk factors related to the Company and the offering can be found in the offering statement that can be accessed at the link referred to above. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Such measures include average daily rate (“ADR”), revenue per available room (“RevPar”), funds from operations ("FFO"), Adjusted FFO, and net operating income ("NOI"), which are each defined in the offering statement on Form 1-A filed with the SEC. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because the Company's management believes these measures help investors understand its business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to its shareholders by providing perspectives not immediately apparent from net income or loss. These measures are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating hospitality real estate companies. The presentation of ADR, RevPar, FFO, Adjusted FFO, and NOI herein are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of liquidity. In addition, readers are advised that the Company's definitions and method of calculating these measures may be different from those used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures as defined and calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as the Company. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are available in the Company’s offering statement on Form 1-A that can be accessed at the link referred to above.
