INTENDED USE OF APPRAISAL

These appraisal have been requested to function as an underwriting guide for mortgage loan purposes and for use in securitization of mortgages. Accordingly, these appraisals may be provided by Merril Lynch & Co., to potential investors in a securitization of other sale of mortgage loans. The appraisal is undertaken without departure in accordance with USPAP as promulgated by the Appraisal Foundation and as amended by the Comptroller of Currency.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

According to a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment conducted March 25, 1992 and updated December, 1994 by CTE Environmental, there was no evidence of environmental hazards or liabilities at the subject site or adjacent properties. A copy of the Environment Site Assessment is included in the rear exhibits. The appraised value contained herein assumes that the subject is free of any environmental contamination.

SCOPE OF THE ASSIGNMENT

The subject property, a neighborhood shopping center, is one of fifteen shopping centers to be included in a portfolio of retail properties which are crlss collateralized, under single management, and subject to stringent release provisions.

The scope of the assignment includes undertaking the three traditional approaches to value with consideration given to the current status of the retail market in Opp, Alabama and the surrounding market area. In the Cost Approach, local real estate professionals and appraisers were contacted and a search of public records undertaken to locate comparable land sales. A detailed inspection of the site and improvements was made by the Associate Appraiser. Construction details were obtained from the physical inspection by the Associate and from plans prepared by Sanford - Bell & Associates, Inc. dated June 8, 1993, with revision dates of September 10, 1993, October 5, 1993, November 16, 1993, June 21, 1994, and September 30, 1994. Current cost estimates were obtained from the Marshall Valuation Service, a nationally recognized cost service indexed to the local market.

In the Income Approach to Value, a survey of local retail market conditions was made by interviewing local leasing and management agents. Rental income was compared to similar properties in the local and regional market areas. Expense comparables were studied to estimate the appropriate expense deductions. The resulting net operating income was then capitalized into a present value estimate by direct capitalization. The overall capitalization rate was derived from market sales, built-up rates using current market rates for debt and equity, and from published investor surveys.

H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.


SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL - (CONTINUED) 2

The Sales Comparison or Market Approach was developed after a search for sales of similar shopping centers. To locate appropriate sale comparables, local Realtors, appraisers, mortgage lenders, and developers were interviewed. The sales located were compared to the subject with adjustments made for items of differences.

After development of the three approaches, the value indications derived were reconciled to provide a value estimate for the subject property as of the effective date of appraisal.

DATE OF VALUE ESTIMATE

The subject property is valued as of August 6, 1997 which is the date the subject was physically inspected by the Associate Appraiser. The date utilized in preparing this appraisal was researched, gathered, and/or updated during the period August 5 through August 15, 1997. The date of the appraisal is August 20, 1997 the date of the transmittal letter.

EXPOSURE PERIOD

Based on the current economic environment of which the subject is a part and the value estimated to obtain a price in this report, the subject would have required a market exposure period of between 6 and 12 months at or near the appraised value. This estimate is predicated on conversations with local real estate professionals and conversations with parties who purchased properties with lease terms similar to the subject.

TYPE APPRAISAL/TYPE REPORT

In accordance with the Uniform Standard of Profession Appraisal Practice, the appraisers have performed a "Complete" appraisal according to Standard Rule 1 and the communicated to the client in a "Self-contained Appraisal Report" in accordance with Standard Rule 2-2a.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

The subject property is under the ownership of:

Opp Partners, Ltd.

250 Washington Street
P.O. Box 680176
Prattville, AL 36067

The subject property is a portion of a neighborhood shopping center known as The Opp Marketplace. The underlying land was part of the assemblage for the shopping center. The assemblage took place in September, 1993 in two purchases for a total of $200,000 for 8.06 acres. The total purchase price equates to a per acre purchase price of $24,814 per acre. The shopping center containing a total of 55,975 sq. ft. was constructed soon after in mid 1994 on the northernmost 6.33 acres with the southernmost 1.73 acres retained for expansion or resale.

Since construction, two transactions affecting the shopping center have transpired. First, in mid, 1995 the fee simple interest in the southernmost 1.73 acres was sold to SouthTrust Bank for $50,000 or $28,902 per acre. The transaction was recorded in the Covington County Courthouse in Deed Book 909 at page 166 on October 11, 1995. Second, the leasehold in the 30,625 sq. ft. Winn-Dixie was sold to Alvin and Norma Chan in mid 1995 for a purchase price of $1,920,000 or $62.70 per sq. ft. of leasable area. This transaction was recorded in the Covington County Courthouse on November 22, 1995 in Deed Book 911 at page 131.

To the best of our knowledge no other transactions involving the subject or Opp Marketplace Shopping Center have occurred in the five years prior to the date of appraisal. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, there are no offered pending to purchase the subject nor is it currently listed for sale.

PROPERTY LOCATION

The subject property is located east of the intersection U.S. Highway 331 and County Highway 22 (Opp-Alberton Road) within the city limits of Opp, Covington County, Alabama It is located by street address as:

ZONING/PUBLIC UTILITIES

The subject property is located in the city limits of Opp, Alabama and is subject to that city's zoning jurisdiction. The site is currently zoned B-2, General Commercial, which allows shopping center use. This zoning classification calls for a minimum lot size of 2,000 sq. ft., minimum lot width of 50', maximum coverage ratio of 50%, maximum height of 65' and no minimum yard set back except when adjacent to a residentially zoned area where the setback requirement would be 30 feet. This classification also calls for an on-site parking ratio of 5 parking spaces for each 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area. Based on an inspection of the property and plans, the existing improvements appear to conform to the current zoning ordinance.

The subject has all utilities including electricity, gas, water, sewage, and telephone in sufficient quantities to sustain commercial development. Public services such as police and fire protection are provided by the City of Opp.

The subject property is part of the Opp Marketplace shopping center anchored by a 30,625 sq. ft. Winn Dixie Supermarket. The Winn Dixie is owned by others as discussed in the Ownership History section of this report and taxed separately. To test the reasonableness of the taxes levied against the subject, the taxes levied against two other shopping centers in Opp were investigated. The result of that investigation is contained in the following chart.

================================================================================
PROPERTY NAME        SIZE (SQ. FT.)      TAX VALUATION        VALUATION/SQ.FT.
================================================================================
Sanford Station          54,280            $2,074,601              $39.35

Three Notch Plaza        39,300            $1,721,338              $43.80
================================================================================

================================================================================

The two tax comparables are older shopping centers anchored by secondary tenants such as Piggly Wiggly and IGA Supermarkets who took over second generation anchor space. Based on factors such as age, overall condition, quality of anchor tenant, etc. the taxes levied against the subject appear to be appropriate.

PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL/DEFINITION OF VALUE

The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the market value of the leased fee interest in the subject property as of the effective date of appraisal, August 6, 1997.

Market Value is defined by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation in the 1997 Glossary - Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, page 155 as:

The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:

1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;

2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interest;

3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. Dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and

5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.

RIGHTS APPRAISED

The ownership interest in the subject property appraised is the "Leased Fee Estate." The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 3rd Edition, Page 204, defines Leased Fee Estate as, "an ownership interest held by a Landlord with the right of use and occupancy conveyed by lease to others. The rights of lessor "the leased fee owner" and the leased fee are specified by contract terms contained within the lease."

AREA ANALYSIS - COVINGTON COUNTY AND OPP, ALABAMA

The four basic factors which should be considered in analyzing an area are:
(1) Physical-Location factors; (2) Economic-Financial factors; (3) Political-Governmental factors; and (4) Sociological factors. Each of these factors is briefly analyzed.

PHYSICAL-LOCATIONAL FACTORS

The subject property is located in Covington County in the town of Opp. Covington County is located in southeastern Alabama approximately twenty miles north of the Florida state line. Traveling distances to major metropolitan areas are:

================================================================
LOCATION                         MILES                DIRECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------
Birmingham, Alabama               166                   North
Mobile, Alabama                   145                 Southwest
Montgomery, Alabama               75                    North
Atlanta, Georgia                  244                 Northeast
Tampa, Florida                    408                 Southeast
Jacksonville, Florida             322                 Southeast
================================================================

Opp is served by two Federal highways. U.S. Highway 331 is the north/south artery linking Opp to the state capital of Montgomery to the north and the Florida panhandle to the south. U.S. Highway 84 is the east/west traffic artery linking Opp to the City of Dothan to the east and Interstate 65 to the west. Access to the interstate highway system is within a short drive time. Interstate 65, the major north/south artery, is 48 miles west of Opp and Interstate 10 in the Florida panhandle, a major east/west artery, is approximately 46 miles south.

The town of Opp was established in 1920 after the L & N Railroad won its litigation against the Central of Georgia Railroad to survey a right-of-way into Covington County. The L & N Built a rail line eastward from Andalusia, the county seat, and made a southbound arm where the town of Opp is located. This southbound arm provided a good "turning around" place for trains, and because is was already inhabited, a small town was laid out. The town was named after Henry Opp, the lawyer for the L & N Railroad who won the litigation. The railroad continues to play a vital road in the economy of Opp to this day.

PHYSICAL AND LOCATIONAL FACTORS - (CONTINUED)

Other major transportation facilities in the area include the Andalusia-Opp
Airport located midway between the two communities and the Chattahoochee River
Dock approximately 75 miles to the east.

The topography of the area is gentle rolling hills. The mean annual temperature
is 64 degrees with an average rainfall of 54.8 inches. The topography, climate,
and rail system provided the ideal environment for the area to become an
important agricultural region. Major agricultural products include cattle,
cotton, broilers, hogs, nuts, fruits, eggs, and soybeans. Natural resources
include calcitic lime as well as pine and other hardwood timber.

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL FACTORS

The 1990 Census indicated that the population of Covington County and the town
of Opp declined from the 1980 levels. However, the population of the area has
remained fairly constant since 1970. The table below shows the population
changes, according to the U.S. Census, from 1970 to 1990.

As indicated in the table above, the textile, forest product, and agricultural industries dominate the private sector economy of Covington County. Baring any unforeseen development initiative by the State of Alabama, the economic mix of the county with its reliance on agriculture and natural resources is anticipated to continue into the future.

As illustrated in the table on the following page, retail sales in Covington County almost doubled from 1986 to 1996. Much of the increase coming between 1992 and 1996, given stagnant population growth rates and high relative unemployment rates, would appear to more of a function of inflation rather than increased population and economic prosperity.

SOCIOLOGICAL FACTORS - (CONTINUED)

The area's recreational facilities are typical with four swimming pools, thirteen tennis courts, one golf course, eight ball fields, two parks, and nine basketball courts. In 1992, the State of Alabama opened the Lake Frank Jackson State Park just outside the city limits of Opp. It is a 1,100 acre lake which cost over $8 million to build. The lake is stocked with bass, bream, crappie, and catfish. Local civic organizations have several bass and other fishing tournaments annually. Planned additions include restrooms and camping facilities.

Throughout Alabama and the panhandle of Florida, Opp is most noted for its annual "Rattlesnake Rodeo" where visitors learn the many facts and myths regarding rattlesnakes. This event which also includes country music, arts and crafts, and stock car racing, is held in the fall of each year.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, Opp is a small rural community located in southeast Alabama. Agriculture is the economic base and has fostered some related industries. The population has remained stable over the past twenty years and is anticipated to remain so into the foreseeable future.

NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSISZ 13

The term neighborhood is defined in "The Appraisal of Real Estate" 11th Ed. at page 189 as "a group of complementary land uses."

The four basic factors which must be considered in analyzing a neighborhood or district, as in an area analysis are:

(1) Physical and Locational Factors

(2) Economic and Financial Factors

(3) Political and Governmental Factors

(4) Sociological Factors

Each of these factors is discussed briefly with conclusions as to their effect on the subject property.

PHYSICAL AND LOCATIONAL FACTORS

The subject is located in the city limits of Opp, Alabama just south of the Central Business District. The neighborhood boundaries are considered to be the city limits. The shopping center of which the subject is a portion is located in the "Y" intersection of U.S. Highway 331 and Parry Store Road. At this location U.S. Highway 331 heads in an easterly direction and turns south at Parry Store Road. South-bound travelers have an excellent view of the subject. In the subject's immediate area, U.S. Highway 331 is a four-lane highway. There is a traffic signal west of the subject where U.S. Highway 331 turn eastward at Cummings Avenue and at the "Y" intersection where State Highway 52 turns eastward. Parry Store Road is a minor two-lane paved street which links the mostly rural areas to the east to the city of Opp. The subject property is conveniently located with easy access from any location within Opp and the surrounding area.

The Central Business District of Opp is located generally north of Cummings Avenue which runs parallel to the A & F Railroad. Like many small rural communities in Alabama, the "downtown" area of Opp was first established in the early 1990's. In connection with the early development, residential properties encompassed the business district. Many of the stores and offices buildings have been remodeled and expanded over the years. In the early 1960's as the "baby boom" generation started to come of age, new businesses and commercial properties started locating outside of the Central Business District due to the lack of available vacant land within the CBD. New commercial development proceeded mostly in a southerly direction along U.S. Highway 331 around the "Y" intersection of Staten Highway 52. These was a limited amount of development just north of the downtown area.

Developments along these paths range from fast food restaurants, service stations, free standing stores, and neighborhood shopping centers. They range in age from twenty-five years old to five

NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS - (CONTINUED) 14

years old. As such, the subject neighborhood is considered to be in the growth stage of its life cycle.

The topography of the neighborhood is gentle rolling hills with very little problem of flooding. All utilities area available in sufficient quantities to sustain commercial development.

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL FACTORS

The primary factor effecting the subject is competing retail properties. As indicated above, most retail properties are located in the Central Business District where the age of the properties range from 30 to 90 years and also along U.S. Highway 331 south of the subject. There are two neighborhood shopping centers in Opp. Based on a visual inspection of these centers, their ages are estimated to be between 20 and 25 years. It appears that they were part of the original commercial property expansion outside of the CBD. Neither of these centers have any small, local tenant shop space which will compete with the subject. Each center is anchored by a grocery store.

The first shopping center is located on the north fringe of the CBD and is anchored by Piggly Wiggly and Babcock Furniture. Other tenants include Family Dollar, Factory Connection, and T & C Pharmacy. There is one vacant shop. Based on interviews with these tenants rental rates are below $3.00 per square foot.

The second shopping center is located in the "Y" intersection of U.S. Highway 331 and State Highway 52 just south of the subject. Tenants in this unnamed center include Bargain Town, Movie Gallery, D's Furniture, IGA Foods, and Heilig Myers.

In addition to the subject, Burger King and McDonald's have located near the subject on Highway 331. The Burger King is located in front of the subject in the "Y" intersection and McDonald's is located across the street to the west.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the subject is well located between the original Central Business District and the expanded southern district. Its location is suited to serve the needs of the city of Opp and surrounding rural community as well as travelers along U.S. Highway 331 on route to the Florida beaches.

DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT IMPROVEMENTS

The subject is a portion of a neighborhood shopping center known as The Opp Marketplace. The center, anchored by Winn-Dixie, contains a total gross leasable area of 55,975 square feet. The subject property consists of the northernmost two tenant spaces containing 25,350 sq. ft. of gross leasable area. The two tenant spaces are currently leased to Harco Drugs (8,450 sq. ft.) and B.C. Moore's (16,900 sq. ft.). The shopping center in general, and the subject improvements in particular have been well maintained and appear to be functionally designed for their intended purpose. No significant degree of deferred maintenance was observed upon physically inspecting the improvements.

It is beyond the scope to narratively discuss all of the pertinent construction details that comprise the subject improvements.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE

Highest and best Use is defined in the Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 3rd edition, page 171, as:

"The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are LEGAL PERMISSIBILITY, PHYSICAL POSSIBILITY, FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY, AND MAXIMUM PROFITABILITY."

Based on this definition, consideration must be given to both the subject land site as if vacant, and the total property as improved.

HIGHEST & BEST USE - AS IF VACANT

PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE - The 2.05 acre size of the subject would support a wide range of uses including residential, commercial, and some light industrial uses. All the necessary utilities and other public services are available in sufficient quantities to support development. The subject site is part of a larger parcel currently improved with a Winn-Dixie Supermarket. Further, there are no other physical site characteristics that would negatively impact the development potential of the site.

LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE - The subject site is zoned B-2, General Commercial, by the City of Opp. The current zoning allows for office or retail use as well as certain governmental and non-profit related uses such as schools and churches. The subject's B-2 zoning is the same as that of the adjacent parcel improved with the Winn-Dixie Supermarket.

FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE - An inspection of the area surrounding the subject, including the Opp central business district, suggests that there is no effective demand for office use. Almost all of the office development in Opp is concentrated in the downtown area in older storefront buildings or converted residences. The pattern of commercial development in the area, and that which is also considered the most financially feasible, is for retail or commercial service uses along U.S. Highway 331 to serve the Opp community and traveling public. The adjacent parcel to the south is currently improved with a Winn-Dixie Supermarket. Therefore, it would appear that development of the site with a retail use to take maximum advantage of the adjacent development would meet the test of being financially feasible.

MAXIMALLY PRODUCTIVE - In determining the highest and best use of the subject site, "as if vacant and available", the use which is maximally productive generally becomes the deciding factor. Maximally productive uses are limited by the current real estate market, the availability of substitute property for development, and the growth stage of the area. To be maximally productive, that use which provides the most return to the land must be selected.

H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.


HIGHEST AND BEST USE - (CONTINUED) 19

HIGHEST AND BEST USE-AS VACANT - (CONTINUED)

It has previously been determined that it would be physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible to develop the site with a retail use compatible with the current zoning classification and adjacent use. Therefore, as of the effective date of appraisal, retail use is considered to be maximally productive and therefore the highest and best use of the subject site, as if vacant and available.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE - AS IMPROVED

The same criteria utilized to determine the highest and best use of the subject site, as if vacant and available for development, is utilized to determine the highest and best use of the property, as improved.

As stated throughout this report, as of the date of appraisal, the subject site is currently improved retail shop space containing a total of 25,350 sq. ft of gross leasable area and associated site improvements as portion of a neighborhood shopping center anchored by Winn-Dixie. The shopping center in general and the subject improvements in particular are considered to be in good condition and functionally designed for their intended use.

PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE AND LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE - The subject improvements are situated on a site containing 2.05 acres or 89,298 sq. ft. of land. The improvements generate a land-to-building ratio of 3.52:1 based on the total gross leaseable area. The land-to-building ratio allows for an ample amount of on-site parking. Additionally, a retail use, such as the existing improvements is allowable without exception under the sites current B-2 zoning classification.

FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE AND MAXIMALLY PRODUCTIVE - Subsequent sections of this report indicate a site value of $66,600, as if vacant and developable to its highest and best use. The three approaches to value produced indications of value from $1,314,000 to $1,485,000. Hence, the existing improvements appear to contribute significantly to overall property value. Therefore, the focus of this analysis will be on the property "as improved". No other use or development option, as of the effective date of value, would appear to generate a higher return to the land.

THE APPRAISAL PROCESS

The appraisal process is a procedure for estimating the market value of real property. This process involves gathering all pertinent information available from the market which may influence the value of the subject property. This data is then utilized in forming an estimate of value based upon the three generally accepted approaches to value. These three approaches are the Cost Approach, the Income Approach, and the Direct Sales Comparison Approach.

COST APPROACH

The Cost Approach is defined as that approach in appraisal analysis which is based upon the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no more than the cost of producing a substitute property with the same utility as the subject property. It is assumed that the potential purchaser considers producing a substitute property with the same utility as the property being appraised. This analysis involves the cost to buyer of producing an exact replica of the subject property, in the same location and condition as the subject property, as of the effective date of the appraisal.

The application of the Cost Approach involves the following steps:

1. Estimating value of the site as if vacant and available to be put to its highest and best use.

2. Estimating the reproduction cost new of the improvements.

3. Estimating all elements of accrued depreciation.

4. Subtracting the total accrued depreciation from the reproduction cost new of the improvements (resulting in an estimate of the present worth of the improvements).

5. Adding the present worth of all the improvements (including site improvements) to the estimated site value.

6. Rounding the figure to an appropriate indication of value.

The major limitations of the Cost Approach is its reliance upon an estimation of accrued depreciation. Generally, the older the property and the higher the estimate of accrued depreciation, the less reliable becomes the value indication from this approach. This is particularly critical in the valuation of older properties that normally incur greater amounts of depreciation. The Cost Approach is particularly appropriate when the property being appraised involves relatively new improvements which represent the highest and best use of the site or when the improvements are relatively unique or specialized and there is limited or a total lack of comparable properties which have sold recently.

THE APPRAISAL PROCESS - (CONTINUED) 21

INCOME ANALYSIS

The Income Analysis is defined as that procedure in appraisal analysis which converts anticipated benefits (dollar income or amenities) to be derived from the ownership of property into a value estimate. Anticipated future income and/or reversions are discounted to a present-worth figure through the capitalization process.

This analysis requires an estimate of market rent based upon comparable rent of leased properties. This rental estimate is a gross amount and all expenses to real estate are deducted. These expenses include vacancy and rent loss which, when subtracted from the gross income, produces the effective gross income. Other expenses include real estate taxes, management cost, insurance cost, and maintenance expense. If applicable, a reduction would also be made for services and utilities. All expense estimates are obtained from the market by comparison to similar structures.

After all expenses have been subtracted from the gross income, the resulting figure is the net operating income, which will be capitalized into value. The capitalization rate is derived from actual sales that have occurred in the market place. The sales are analyzed in order to estimate the net operating income of the property. After the net operating income is estimated, it is divided by the sales price to provide an indication of the overall capitalization rate. Capitalization rates can also be built up from the market factors considered most applicable to income-producing properties. After the net operating income and the capitalization rate are estimated, the net income is then capitalized into a value indication by the applicable capitalization technique.

DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

The Direct Sales Comparison Approach is defined as that approach in an appraisal analysis which is based upon the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no more for the property than the cost to him of acquiring an existing property with the same utility. Presumably, the potential purchaser considers the alternatives that are available to him and then makes a rational decision based upon the information he has about those alternatives that are available to him and then makes a rational decision based upon the information he has about those alternatives.

The application of the Direct Sales Comparison Approach involves selecting a number of competitive properties which have recently sold on the market. The information derived from this section is analyzed through an adjustment process which develops indications of what the competitive properties would have sold for if they possessed all the important characteristics of the subject property. These indications fall into a pattern surrounding one figure which, when appropriately rounded, is an indication of the market value of the subject property as of the date of the appraisal.

H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.


THE APPRAISAL PROCESS - (CONTINUED) 22

The reliability of this approach is dependent upon the availability and verification of the comparable sales data. The degree of comparability between the competitive properties and the subject, and the absence of non-typical conditions affecting the sales price of those properties are also important items that are considered. Therefore, this approach is particularly applicable when an active market provides sufficient quantities of reliable data which can be verified from authoritative sources.

RECONCILIATION ANALYSIS

The reconciliation analysis is an evaluation process where the appraiser carefully evaluates value indications from each of the three approaches. The reliability of each approach to the present appraisal problem is examined and weight is given to the accuracy, reliability, quantity of data available for use in each approach, and the approach in which the market participant typically has the greatest confidence.

The comparable sales listed above were adjusted to the subject for:

Conditions of Sale:     All sales were normal arm's length transactions that
                        required no adjustments.

Time:                   Conversations with local real estate professionals and
                        the county tax appraiser indicate that land values in
                        Opp have remained stable over the past five years.
                        Therefore, no adjustment for market conditions or time
                        was considered appropriate.

LAND VALUE - DIRECT COMPARISON (CONTINUED) 28

Location:      The subject property has no direct access from the major area
               roadway, U.S. Highway 331. It is accessible from the minor
               artery, County Highway 22 (Opp-Alberton Road). Comparables No. 1,
               2, and 3 all front and are accessible from U.S. Highway 331 and
               are considered to have superior locations relative to the
               subject. Downward adjustments of 20% were applied to these
               comparables to recognize their superior locations relative to the
               subject. Comparable No. 4 is Parcel "B" of the Opp Marketplace
               Shopping Center and does not have any direct access to a roadway
               other than by an easement across the Winn-Dixie property to the
               north. The location of this comparable is considered to be
               inferior relative to the subject. An upward adjustment of 15% was
               applied to this comparable for location.

Size:          All sales were adjusted to a 90% curve using the Dilmore Size
               adjustment table. This table is based on the fact that a
               property's price per unit is generally inversely related to its
               size.

The comparable sales after adjustment, indicate a range of value from $32,324 to $35,212 per acre. Each of the adjusted sales were given relatively equal consideration in the value estimate of the subject site, as if vacant.

Based on these adjusted sales, the subject site, "As if Vacant", is valued as:

COST APPROACH TO VALUE

The cost factors used from the Marshall Valuation Service, a national cost service indexed to the Opp market and found to be reliable and consistent with costs incurred by builders within the area. The cost factors from this cost service are inclusive of architect/engineering fees, construction period interest, contractors overhead and profit, and normal site prep costs. Excluded are site improvements such as paving, landscaping, etc., land costs, and indirect costs such as developers profit permanent loan fees.

Calculations of total building reproduction costs are:

INDIRECT COST

Indirect costs including developer's fee/entrepreneurial profit and permanent loan fees are added to the subject's direct cost to estimate the total value of the subject property via the Cost Approach. Developer's fee/Entrepreneurial profit is added at 20% based upon sales of new shopping centers, discussions with Developers and Brokers, and with consideration given to the cross collateralization of the portfolio of retail properties of which the subject is a part. Permanent loan fees are added at the amount typically charged by lenders
- 2% of the loan amount (1% construction - 1% permanent).

DEPRECIATION AND OBSOLESCENCE

Incurable physical deterioration identifies items of deterioration that cannot be practically or economically corrected at present. For the purposes of this analysis, incurable physical deterioration has not been classified as being either long or short lived. A long-lived item is a building component that is expected to have a remaining economic life that is the same as the remaining economic life of the structure. A short-lived item is a building component that is expected to have a remaining economic life that is shorter than the remaining life of the structure.

DEPRECIATION AND OBSOLESCENCE - (CONTINUED)

In this instance separating the items of incurable physical deterioration into long and short lived items would serve little or no useful appraisal purpose because of the overall age of the improvements.

In the case of the subject improvements, incurable physical deterioration has been estimated using the age/life concept in that we estimate the improvements to have an effective age of approximately 2 years, from a total estimated economic life of approximately 40 years. Therefore, it is estimated that the improvements suffer from incurable physical deterioration, both long and short-lived, of approximately 5.0 percent (2 years/40 years = 5.0 percent) of the estimated Reproduction Cost New.

Functional obsolescence is a loss in value resulting from defects in design. The defect may be curable or incurable. Curable functional obsolescence is measured by the cost to cure the condition. Incurable functional obsolescence may be caused by a deficiency or a superadequacy. A deficiency may be a component or system that should be in the property but is not, or it may be a substandard or defective component or system in the property that does not work properly. A superadequacy is a component or system in the property that exceeds market requirements and does not contribute to value an amount equal to its cost. Upon inspection of the subject, no degree of functional obsolescence, either curable or incurable, was noted.

External obsolescence is the diminished utility of a structure or project due to negative influences from outside the site and can be caused by a variety of factors, i.e., neighborhood declined, the property's location in a community, state, or region; or market conditions. No degree of external obsolescence is believed to be present in the subject improvements as of the effective date of appraisal.

INCOME APPROACH TO VALUE

As a primary approach to value for the subject, the subject's net operating income is capitalized into a value estimate by use of an overall capitalization rate. In arriving at a net operating income, consideration is given to rentals and expenses which are incurred in the operation of the property.

CONTRACT INCOME

The subject is currently occupied by two tenants. B.C. Moor & Son's, Inc. occupies 16,900 sq. ft. or 66.6% of the total net rentable area and Harco Drug occupies 8,450 sq. ft. or 33.4% of the total net rentable area. A summary of these leases appear in the Rear Exhibits.

To determine whether the previously summarized leases are representative of market rents for similar retail space, the contract rents were compared to other drug store leases in the States of Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. A summary of those leases appears in the following chart.

INCOME APPROACH TO VALUE - (CONTINUED) 33

Based on the rents summarized on the previous chart, it is determined that the current contract rent of $7.50 per sq. ft. for the 8,450 sq. ft. leased by Harco Drugs, Inc. is commensurate with market rents for similar drug store space in anchored shopping centers. Additionally, given adjustments for size and name recognition, the current contract rent of $5.00 per sq. for the 16,900 sq. ft. leased by B.C. Moore & Son's, Inc. is also considered to be commensurate with the market rent for similar space located in similar shopping centers.

EXPENSE CONTRIBUTIONS

Each tenant is contractually obligated to contribute to the expenses incurred in the operation of the shopping center. Their contributions amount to their pro-rata share of the taxes, property insurance, and common area maintenance expenses. These expenses have been estimated later in this report and summarized in the following chart.

VACANCY AND COLLECTION LOSS

The subject is 100% leased as of the effective date of appraisal. However, it would be imprudent to believe that a potential buyer would not consider some degree of vacancy collection loss when evaluating the income producing potential of the subject. This opinion is supported by the pro-forma operating statements obtained in the confirmation of the sales utilized to develop a value estimate by the Market Approach. For the purposes of this analysis, given the credit quality of the existing tenants, a vacancy and collection loss factor of 2.5% of the total potential gross income for subject, including expense contributions, has been incorporated into this analysis.

=====================================================================================================================

Based on these expense comparables, the pertinent expense categories in appropriate amounts are estimated below.

Management/Leasing:        The management fees of the comparable properties
                           range from 3.8% to 6.1%. As indicated previously, the
                           subject property is one of fifteen shopping centers
                           in a cross collateralized portfolio of retail
                           properties under single management. Considering
                           economics of scale, the subject's management fee is
                           estimated at the low end of the range at 4% of
                           effective rental income.

Ad Valorem tax:            The actual ad valorem taxes levied against the
                           subject obtained from the Covington County Tax
                           Assessor's office have been deemed appropriate and
                           included in this analysis.

Insurance:                 Based upon the expense comparable information
                           included herein, the cost of insuring the subject's
                           improvements and the cost of liability insurance is
                           estimated to be $2,535 per year or $0.10 per square
                           foot of net leasable area.

OPERATING EXPENSES (CONTINUED)

Common Area Maintenance:   The common area maintenance expense, including
                           utility expense for the parking and walkway areas,
                           based on the expense comparables has been estimated
                           to be $11,408 per year or $0.45 per sq. ft. of net
                           leasable area.

Structural                 Maintenance: Structural maintenance is estimated to
                           be $.10 per square foot for a total annual amount of
                           $2,535 which is found to be similar to other
                           neighborhood shopping centers as well as typical
                           requirements by permanent lenders.

Miscellaneous Expenses:    Miscellaneous expenses for legal and accounting
                           services has been estimated to amount to 1.0% of the
                           effective gross income.

Based on the preceding, the total operating expenses are estimated to be $30,770 per year or $1.21 per square foot of net leasable area. The total expense estimate results in an operating expense ratio of 18.7% which is supported by the expense comparables.

CAPITALIZATION RATE

To estimate the subject's value via the Income Approach, the subject's stabilized net operating income is capitalized with an overall capitalization rate of 9.0%. The selected overall capitalization rate is based on several methods of capitalization rate development with consideration given to the cross collateralization of the subject property with the other fourteen shopping centers in the securitized portfolio of retail properties. The capitalization rate development methods, which are presented following the Income Approach Summary on the following page, includes rates extracted from comparable sales, recently published investor surveys, and three methods using mortgage and equity positions which include the Ellwood, Band of Investment, and Debt Coverage Ratio methods.

Rates extracted from the comparable sales ranged from 9.57% to 10.20% with an average of 9.81% and the most recent sale being at 9.64%. Published rates from the Second Quarter 1997, Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey for National Strip Shopping Centers, ranged from 8.25% to 13.00% with an average rate of 9.84% which is similar to the market extracted rates. The mid range rates from the three mortgage/equity methods ranged from 8.90% to 9.24%. The rates developed with mortgage equity factors reflect current conditions and declining interest rates. The criteria used for these methods was taken from the above mentioned investor survey and from interviews with mortgage brokers.

The High, Middle, and Low average of the five methods of capitalization rate development are 10.25%, 9.31%, and 8.71% respectively. Based on this analysis and the above considerations, the subject's overall capitalization rate is estimated to fall between the Middle and Low range of the five methods.

Given the preceding, the value indication provided by the Income Approach can be expressed as follows:

Explanatory Notes
Capitalization Rate Evidence

The accompanying chart illustrates 5 different sets of data or evidence to appropriate current property capitalization rates.

Item # 1 Reflects the current range in capitalization rates in
the local market based on actual sales - this information is historical in nature although there has been a fairly consistent pattern evident in this market over the years.

Item # 2 Reflects actual cap rates used by large financial
institutions in the acquisition and financing of major real estate projects. These rates are also historical in nature, but are based on properties of a magnitude atypical in this market area. Properties that would appeal to at least a regional and perhaps a national market of potential buyers.

Item # 3 Reflects a calculated cap rate utilizing the Ellwood
model based on future expectations in income and property value growth and equity yield rates - explicit input assumptions are listed. This method is compelling when market mortgage and equity yield returns are predictable and property and income changes can be reliably predicted.

Item # 4 Analyzes required capital outlays to service both the
debt (ie mortgage payment) and the equity (cash on cash or before tax cash flow or equity dividend). The weighted average of these required returns is, by definition, equal to the capitalization rate. It should be noted that the mortgage interest rate and equity yield rate are NOT part of this calculation.

Item #5 Provides another method often used by lenders. The debt
coverage ratio is a factor equal to the net operating income divided by the annual debt service - in other words, it is an estimate of the "cushion" or excess of net operating income over and above debt service. The calculated cap can be solved for by the following formula R(o) = R(m) X DCR X M.

The actual cap rate used by the appraisers in this analysis is bracketed by this information. Further, this chart illustrates the implicit market expectations of the various investment parameters that are reflected by the specific capitalization rate used.

MARKET APPROACH

To estimate the subject property's value by market comparison, a direct comparison is made with actual sales of other shopping center properties. These sales are analyzed on the basis of price per square foot of gross building area (GBA) and their effective gross income multiplier (EGIM).

While the subject property is part of a large portfolio of retail properties which would most likely be marketed as a total package, no sales of similar portfolios of properties were found with which to compare. The market for retail properties is national with purchase decisions made on the strength and reliability of the income streams. Similar shopping center sales were located in Birmingham, Moody, Madison, and Mobile, Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Each sale is adjusted to the subject for pertinent items, including unusual financing or conditions of sale, time lapsed since sale, and physical differences such as age, condition, and construction quality and location as reflected in the net operating income.

The sales considered are detailed on the following pages with a comparison and adjustment following the presentation of the sales data.

               expense contributions and miscellaneous income. The actual 1994
               NOI was $901,481 and is somewhat skewed due to vacancy of local
               space during Delchamp's expansion and rent concessions during
               this period. Also, leasing commissions and tenant improvements
               were deducted as expenses before the NOI calculation.

               to completion. Estimated completion date was July, 1997. There
               were five out-parcel lots at the center which were not included
               in the transaction. Significant site work was necessary for
               development. Estimated site work totalled $85,000 per acre.

NET OPERATING INCOME:      The comparable sales were adjusted to the subject
                           based on the difference in net operating income. As
                           indicated in the following table, there is a direct
                           relationship between the sale price per square foot
                           and net operating income per square foot.

                           ===============================================

The adjustment for NOI is based on the following formula: the subject's NOI per square foot is subtracted from the comparables estimated NOI per square foot and the difference is divided by the comparable's NOI per square foot.

The adjusted sales present an adjusted range of value from $55.12 to $64.75 per square foot. Each of the sales was given relatively equal weight in the estimate of value on a per sq. ft. basis. Based on these adjusted sales, the subject property is valued by direct comparison as:

      Subject                     NA                           18.71%
     =====================================================================

The Effective Gross Income Multipliers of the four comparable sales range from 7.55 to 8.79. There is a direct correlation between operating expense ratios and EGIM's. Sales 2, 3, and 5 have lower operating expense ratios; Sales 1 and 5 have higher operating expense ratios. As the subject's forecasted operating expense ratio is 18.71 which is closer to Sales 2, 3 and 4, it would be considered reasonable to assume it would have an EGIM near the higher end of the range. The subject is part of a cross collateralized portfolio as discussed previously and would enjoy the benefits of such an association hence, a EGIM toward the higher end of the range would appear justified.

Based on these sales, the subject is valued by EGIM as:


VALUE INDICATION - MARKET APPROACH

Effective Gross Income Multiplier $164,445 PGI x 8.75 = $1,439,000

CONCLUSION

The two market indicators of value are correlated with greater weight given to adjusted sale price per square foot for a value by Market Approach of $1,460,000.

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE

Cost Approach ...................................................... $1,314,000

This approach is felt to be reliable, being based on a respected national cost service's figures as well as actual cost of other centers and the Developer's cost breakdown. The land value is based on commercial land sales from the subject's market area and is felt to be well supported. However, this approach does not mirror the actions of investors in properties similar to the subject. Therefore, this approach is given little consideration in the final value estimate.

Income Approach .................................................... $1,485,000

This approach is felt to be most indicative of the subject's value. It best reflects current and projected market conditions as they relate to the subject and mirrors the actions of investors in today's market. Overall, this approach is afforded greatest consideration and is supported by the Market Approach.

Market Approach .................................................... $1,460,000

This approach is based on the most recent sales of other neighborhood shopping centers and is reliant upon the direct sales comparison on a price per square foot basis, and the effective income multiplier method. This approach is afforded less consideration than the Income Approach.

Based on the value indications summarized above, we are of the opinion that the subject's leased fee interest, has a market value, as of August, 6, 1997, of:

ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($1,480,000)

Divided As:       Improvements      $1,413,400
                  Land              $   66,600

[KORPACZ - LETTERHEAD]

NATIONAL STRIP SHOPPING CENTER MARKET

The trend toward investors focusing on retail acquisitions continues this quarter. They believe that since the prices of other property types have been bid up, retail offers better relative values. "We're seeing the beginning of a run up in retail again," says one participant. The major interest tends to be on neighborhood and community centers.

The optimum size of the ideal strip shopping center is 100,000 square feet to 130,000 square feet, but investors will also consider larger properties, especially if there is the potential to put in other anchor stores, such as Marshall's or T.J. Maxx. Although buyers prefer not to have centers that are smaller than 100,000 square feet, some portfolios may have centers as small as 70,000 square feet and as large as 200,000 square feet. "But there you have to take good with bad," comments a participant. The supply of available strip centers is plentiful, but it is hard to find those of optimum size that are anchored by a market-dominant grocery store.

The importance of the grocery anchor is based on its capability to generate traffic in the center, which greatly enhances the landlord's ability to lease the in-line stores. The traffic increases in-line store sales volume, which mitigates the risk of ownership and provides the investor with the requisite yield from such a center.

The size of the grocery anchor is also significant in its competitive position. Although the optimum size varies by market, in major metropolitan areas between 50,000 square feet and 75,000 square feet is ideal. In smaller markets a 40,000-square-foot store can be successful. However, the older 25,000-square-foot stores are considered functionally obsolete.

Over the next 12 months, prices in the national strip shopping center market are expected to remain stable or drop slightly. Survey participants put the average decrease at 1.78%.

Key indicators in the national strip shopping center market support the expectation of stagnant values for the year. Again this quarter, the changes in indicators are small. The average discount rate (IRR) increased 2 basis points (see Table 7). This follows a 10-basis-point decrease last quarter.

The average overall cap rate (OAR) decreased 1 basis point to 9.84%. Highly desirable centers trade at cap rates between 8.00% and 10.00%, but most close at cap rates between 10.00% and 11.00%.

Strip shopping centers have long been perceived to pose higher investment risk than regional malls, and both IRRs and going-in cap rates have reflected a premium for the higher risk. In fourth quarter 1996, however for the first time since we began tracking the national strip shopping center market in fourth quarter 1991, the average IRR fell below the national regional mall market average IRR. This quarter the rates are 11.55% and 11.75%, respectively.

The strip shopping center OAR is still considerably higher than the regional mall rate. The spread between the two had narrowed during 1996. However, last quarter's 7-basis-point increase in the strip shopping center OAR widened the gap again. The current OAR premium is 127 basis points. It was 173 one year ago. By comparison, the national power center OAR is 9.58%, 26 basis points lower than the strip shopping center rate.

Investors would like to acquire portfolios of neighborhood and community shopping centers that are located in one region, thus presenting the opportunity for management and leasing efficiencies. These are difficult to find, however, and are priced at a premium.|_|

Re: Site Assessment/Review
Winn Dixie/Harco Drugs Shopping Center Opp, Alabama

Gentlemen;

CTE Environmental has completed the requested site visit and environmental report review of the Phase 1 Environmental Assessment conducted jointly by Associated Testing Laboratory and Gallett & Associates, Inc.

The purpose of this letter is to verify that the previously mentioned report is still valid and that, since March 25, 1992, no environmental hazards have been introduced onto the site or adjacent sites.

Our investigation began with a review of the existing site through a personal visit by our engineer. The site has changed in physical appearance since 1992. Many cubic yards of soil has been excavated and hauled away from the site to prepare the construction site for a future Winn Dixie and Harco Drugs Store. The preparation of the site has improved the overall environmental issue since any potential surface contaminant has been removed leaving bare, undisturbed earth. No off-site soils have been used at the site.

The parcel of land to the Northwest at the intersection of Perry Store Road and U.S. Highway 331 is now occupied by a new Burger King Restaurant. A new McDonald's Restaurant occupies the lot to the Southwest of the Winn Dixie parcel and across U.S. 331.

All other references in the report of 1992, are basically correct as to surrounding properties with the exception of the Independant Service Station to the Southeast of the site. It could no longer be located.

State, County, and local files remain free of site related environmental concerns. The Tom Thumb Amoco Convenience Store is currently registered on the Alabama Department of Environmental Management Trust Fund Program (a State Insurance program). No reported leaks or spills have occurred at this site. The store is in basic compliance with Federal and State laws at this time.

Other paragraphs contained in the Associated Testing/Gallet & Associates report concerning the Geology, Hydrogeology, Property Ownership, and Aerial Photographs have not changed and are still applicable to a current sale of the property.

It is our opinion that the site is environmentally clear of contamination. Our survey is the result of conditions at the site on the date of this report and does not extend to contamination introduced at a later date by other parties.

Very Truly yours;
CTE Environmental

Re: Preliminary Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I) Winn Dixie/Harco Drugs Shopping Center Opp, Alabama

Dear Mr Newton:

ASSOCIATED TESTING LABORATORY, INC. AND GALLETT & ASSOCIATES, INC. jointly have completed the authorized environmental site assessment for above referenced site. This report describes our study and presents our findings.

The site was inspected by an ATL Engineering Technician for the purpose of evaluating any past or present environmental liabilities which may be associated with the present ownership of the subject property and with the surrounding area. In addition, regulatory and historical information was reviewed to determine past site conditions and usage.

Specifically, potential enviromental liabilities which were addressed in this study include: local past and present waste disposal practices, presence of underground storage tanks or electrical equipment, unusual storage conditions, and stressed vegitation growth.

Based on our inspection and data review, we found no evidence to suggest the presendence of hazardous materials or the past disposal of hazardous materials on the site.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. If you have any questions pertaining to this report or if we may be of service to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Very truly yours,

3.1 GEOLOGY

The project site is underlain by Residuum, which consists of white to moderate reddish-orange sandy clay and clay with scattered layers of gravelly medium to coarse sand, fossiliferous chert and limestone boulders, and limonitic sand masses. The Residuum was derived from the solution and collapse of limestone in the Jackson Group and Oligocene Series and the slumping of Miocene sediments.

3.2 HYDROGEOLOGY

The site slopes from east to west generally with a drainage slough running along the south property line. The north side is bounded by Perry Store Road. A drainage swell runs between survey site and small parcel on northwest corner.


3.3 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION REPORT

There was a Geo-Technical Study made for the proposed Shopping Center performed by ASSOCIATED TESTING LABORATORY, INC., on June 17, 1991. A review of this report does not indicate the presence of any contamination on the site.

4.0 ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES

4.1 PROPERTY OWNERSHIP REVIEW

The study site is currently owned by OPP BUILDING & SUPPLY INC. which has owned the site since 1977. Ownership of a portion of the property came from J. M. Breedlowe Estate while another portion of the property was acquired from Marie Helms who obtained her portion of the property from Helms, Reiser & Williams in 1900. This information does not indicate any commercial use of the property even though present owner is a business firm. The adjoining property is a mixture of undeveloped farm land, residential and commercial property with one light manufacturing business (textile) within 1/2 mile of site.

4.2 GOVERNMENT REGULATORY/EMERGENCY RESPONSE RECORDS REVIEW

Following are the pertinent data obtained from the government regulatory/emergency response records:


(1) EPA NPL List - No NPL sites listed in Opp within one-half mile of the study site.

(2) EPA CERCLIS List - No CERCLIS sites listed in Opp within one-half mile of the study site.

(3) EPA HWDMS List - HWDMS lists no sites in Opp within one-half mile of the study site.

(4) Facilities located within one-half mile of the study site which are not currently shown on EPA HWDMS and FINDS Lists that may generate contaminants:

a. TOM THUMB AMOCO CONVENIENCE STORE adjacent to southeast corner of site

b. INDEPENDENT SERVICE STATION adjacent to southeast corner of site

c. HELMS OIL CO. (TEXACO DISTRIBUTOR) west of site 1/4 mile on north side of Highway 331 South

d. FINA OIL CO. DISTRIBUTOR west of site 1/4 mile on south side of Highway 331 South

4.3 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH REVIEW

Aerial photographs taken in 1975 on file at the Covington County Mapping Office and photographs taken in 1985 on file at USDA Soil Conservation Service, Andalusia, Alabama, were examined and no indication of any widespread dumping of contaminants was found either on the site or the surrounding property.


4.4 WALKING SURVEY

The project site is located in the southeast quadrant of U.S. 331 and Perry Store Road in Opp, Alabama. The site generally slopes from east (E1 325) to west (E1-295).

Proposed for construction is a Winn Dixie and Harco Drugs along with smaller retail shops and associated parking and drive areas. The site is bounded on the east by undeveloped farm land, residential and commercial property. On the south is an Amoco Service Station adjacent to the southwest corner and commercial and residential property. The west is bounded by Highway 331 South and commercial property. On the north is undeveloped land, residential and commercial property. Adjacent to the site at the northwest corner is an independent service station and other small commercial sites. Further to the west is a small textile manufacturing facility as well as two oil company distributors with above ground storage tanks. Our investigation did not indicate the presence of any contamination on the site or on the adjoining property.

5.0 SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The site location, as described in Section 4.4 above, in Opp, Alabama was evaluated for environmental liabilities in a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment at the request of Mr. Tom Newton of NEWTON DEVELOPMENT CORP., 725 East Main Street, Prattville, Alabama. The evaluation was


accomplished by maps, aerial photographs, historical data, by reviewing pertinent environmental regulatory records, personal interviews and a physical inspection of the site and surrounding areas. Our evaluation focused on potential liabilities associated with the past and present usage.

Personal property owners of adjacent service stations state that there have been no spills on their property and that the underground storage tanks are checked for leaks as directed by ADEM and the tanks are in compliance with current ADEM Regulations.

Based on this assessment, we have found no evidence to suggest that the subject property or the surrounding properties were used for hazardous waste disposal or for industrial purposes nor that any environmentally regulated or investigated sites have adversely affected the site, thereby making it unnecessary to perform further investigation (Phase II Study).

6.0 QUALIFICATIONS

Our evaluation of the environmental conditions at this site is based on the previously available information and the data obtained during research and field study. These services have been performed in accordance with generally accepted standards of performance for this level of assessment. Our conclusions are limited to the surface conditions only and the subsurface soil and/or groundwater


concerning contamination from hazardous substances are unknown.

ATL is not responsible for the conclusions or opinions made by others based on the findings of this report.
