Hi. I live in a Sunrise residence in May, and have for seven years. I followed Sunrise for years, and I guess, I'm the cheerleader of sorts. So I want to offer this friendly comment. I'm curious about the new silence or maybe even the headline silence from the New York Times and the Washington Post. Times was brutal to Sunrise as opposed to highly critical, some appropriate. When the over expense and problems were hurting the company, but now that we have a new aggressive management that has cut projects and cut back expenses et cetera, I have seen no good news stories or analysis by either newspaper. The recent profile of Mr. Ordan looked very nice, doesn't really qualify, was more of a puff piece and didn’t express the progress that has been made by him.
Now, I don't know what you can do about it, how about some fairness in reporting if not analysis. Thanks.
Mark Ordan
This is Mark. First of all the person who just spoke is not related to me in any way. But I like it. We have been frustrated, I guess bad news helps more newspapers than good news, but we have been frustrated by the newspapers, certainly our hometown paper, but I can't control your editorial decisions. But thank you very much. I'm glad you are a happy resident of Sunrise.

Hi, you mentioned your problems with HCP. Do you have any comments on the recent Green Street [ph] report they put out about to the HCP litigation?
Mark Ordan
Actually, we were very puzzled by that piece, and what I've heard from others unrelated to Sunrise where too. Apparently they had no consideration to what the judge in the case said even though a transcript was and is readily available for anybody who wants it. Clearly the writer read neither the court filings nor the agreements he opined on. It looks like the information came from only one source. But we have already spoken to this writer, who by the way has a great reputation, and since then we have been assured that in the future he will talk with us whenever he talks about us.
And I would also add, we spend a lot of time on this. This is not a groundbreaking case. The contract case where one party, HCP, is unhappy with the contracts it bought, and is looking for a free or cheap way out. You know the judge ruled in part of this matter and said that this is not going to be an expedited case. So it is likely this will go on for years. Not that we hope that, but that is where we are.
