This Form 10-K/A is being filed for the purpose of providing separate audited consolidated financial statements of PIM Highland Holding LLC (the “Company”) in accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. The Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from March 10, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011, and Report of Independent Auditors, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and are included as financial statement schedules in Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” of this Form 10-K/A.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, were not available at the time that Ashford filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K on March 3, 2014.
