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.

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:
================================================================

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.
H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.
AREA ANALYSIS - COVINGTON COUNTY AND OPP, ALABAMA (CONTINUED) 9
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.

The population of the county increased 7% and the population of Opp increased
5.9% from 1970 to 1990. The county's population has a civilian labor force of
17,580 and are employed by in a variety of industries. The table below shows the

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL FACTORS - (CONTINUED)
As of May, 1997 the unemployment rate in Covington County stood at 7.3%, which
compares with 4.9% for the State of Alabama and 4.8% nationwide. Major private
sector employers in and around Opp are listed in the table below.

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.

AREA ANALYSIS - COVINGTON COUNTY AND OPP, ALABAMA (CONTINUED) 12
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.
H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.
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

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. The basic construction details
that follow were obtained from the physical inspection of the property by the
Associate Appraiser on August 6, 1997. The subject's basic construction details
are as follows:
Property Type: Portion of neighborhood shopping center
Total GLA: 55,975 - Opp Marketplace Shopping Center
25,350 - Subject portion of shopping center
Year Built: Late 1994
Effective Age: 2 years
Roof: Built up tar and gravel over rigid insulation on metal
decking. Steel truss support system
Walls: Concrete block and brick veneer over concrete block on the
from. Painted concrete block at rear and sides. Partition
walls between tenant spaces are metal studs covered with
sheetrock.
Doors: Anodized aluminum store front doors. Interior (rest room)
doors hollow core wood.
Windows: Anodized bronze aluminum store fronts with single glazing.

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.
H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.
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.

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.

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.

COST APPROACH TO VALUE - (CONTINUED) 30
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.

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

The sales were adjusted to the subject for the following items:
CONDITION OF SALE: No adjustment indicated.
TIME: Considers an increase of 5% per year based on analysis of
the overall capitalization rates of the comparable sales and
range of rates from the five methods considered in the
Income Approach.
H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.
|
MARKET APPROACH - (CONTINUED) 61
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.
===============================================
SALE NO. SP/SQ. FT. NOI/SQ. FT.
===============================================
1 $79.18 $7.83
2 $73.77 $7.18
3 $73.68 $7.05
4 $75.23 $7.67
5 $84.99 $7.64
===============================================
Subject NA $5.27
===============================================
|
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:
VALUE INDICATION - MARKET APPROACH
Price per Sq. Ft.: 25,350 Sq. Ft. x $58.00 per Sq. Ft.= $1,470,300
ROUNDED $1,470,000
H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.
MARKET APPROACH - (CONTINUED) 62
The Effective Gross Rent Multipliers (EGIM) derived from the above sales are
highlighted as:
=====================================================================
Sale No. EGIM Expense Ratio
=====================================================================
1 7.55 25.30%
2 8.56 16.70%
3 8.71 16.60%
4 7.80 20.40%
5 8.79 15.28%
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.
H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.

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.|_|

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

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.

cooling, ventilating, electrical and plumbing equipment is considered to be
commensurate with the condition of the balance of the improvements unless
otherwise stated. No judgement is made as to adequacy of insulation, type
of insulation, or energy efficiency of the improvements or equipment.
7. RELATING TO THE AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT:
The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") became effective January 26,
1992. The appraisers have not made a specific compliance survey and
analysis of this property to determine whether or not it is in conformity
with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a
compliance survey of the property together with a detailed analysis of the
requirements of the ADA could reveal that the property is not in compliance
with one or more of the requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could
have a negative effect upon the value of the property. Since there is no
direct evidence relating to this issue, possible non-compliance with the
requirements of ADA in estimating the value of the property has not been
considered.
8. LEGALITY OF USE:
The appraisal is based on the premise that, there is full compliance with
all applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and laws
unless otherwise stated in the report; further that all applicable zoning,
building, and use regulations and restrictions of all types have been
complied with unless otherwise stated in the report; further, that all
applicable zoning, building, and use regulations and restrictions of all
types have been complied with unless otherwise stated in the report;
further, it is assumed that all required licenses, consents, permits, or
other legislative or administrative authority, local, state, federal and/or
private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for
any use considered in the value estimate.
9. COMPONENT VALUES:
The distribution of the total valuation in this report between land and
improvements applies only under the existing program of utilization. The
separate valuations for land and building must not be used in conjunction
with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used.

10. AUXILIARY AND RELATED STUDIES:
No environmental or impact studies, special market study or analysis,
highest and best use analysis study or feasibility study has been requested
or made unless otherwise specified in an agreement for services or in the
report. The appraiser reserves the unlimited right to alter, amend, revise
or rescind any of the statements, findings, opinions, values, estimates, or
conclusions upon any subsequent study or analysis or previous study or
analysis subsequently becoming known to him.
11. DOLLAR VALUES, PURCHASING POWER:
The market value estimated, and the costs used, are as of the date estimate
of value. All dollar amounts are based on the purchasing power and price of
the dollar as of the date of the value estimate.
12. INCLUSIONS:
Furnishings and equipment of business operations except as specifically
indicated and typically considered as a part of real estate, have been
disregarded with only the real estate being considered in the value
estimate unless otherwise state.
13. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS, CONDITIONED VALUE:
Improvements proposed, if any, on or off-site, as well as any repairs
required are considered, for purpose of this appraisal to be completed in
good and workmanlike manner according to information submitted and/or
considered by the appraiser. In cases of proposed construction, the
appraisal is subject to change inspection of property after construction is
completed. This estimate of market value is as of the date shown, as
proposed, as if completed and operating at levels shown and projected.
14. VALUE CHANGE, DYNAMIC MARKET, INFLUENCES:
The estimated market value is subject to change with market changes over
time; value is highly related to exposure, time, promotional effort, terms
motivation, and conditions surrounding the offering. The value estimate
considers the productivity and relative attractiveness of the property
physically and economically in the marketplace. The "Estimate of Market
Value" in the appraisal report is not based in whole or in part upon the
race, color or national origin of the present owners or occupants of the
properties in the vicinity of the property appraised.
H.J. Porter & Associates, Inc.
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS - (CONTINUED)
In cases of appraisals involving the capitalization of income benefits, the
estimate of market value is a reflection of such benefits and appraiser's
interpretation of income and yields and other factors derived from general
and specific market information. Such estimates are as of the date of the
estimate of value; they are thus subject to change if the market is
naturally dynamic.
15. MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTY:
It is assumed that the property which is the subject of this report will be
under prudent and competent ownership and management; neither inefficient
nor super efficient.
16. CONTINUING EDUCATION CURRENT:
The Appraisal Institute conducts a voluntary program of continuing
education for its designated members. MAIs and RMs who meet the minimum of
this program are awarded periodic certification. I am currently certified
under the Appraisal Institute Voluntary Continuing Education Program.
17. FEE:
The fee for this appraisal or study is for the service rendered and not for
the time spent on the physical report.
18. AUTHENTIC COPIES:
The authentic copies of this report are signed in blue ink. Any copy that
does not have an original signature is unauthorized and may have been
altered.
19. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:
Unless otherwise stated in this report, the appraiser signing this report
has no knowledge concerning the presence of urea-formaldehyde foam
insulation or asbestos containing material in existing improvements; if
such materials are present the value of the property may be adversely
affected and reappraisal at additional cost necessary to estimate the
effects of such material.
20. Unless otherwise noted within the attached report, there are no items of
FF&E included in the reported value. Any equipment included with the
property in the value are only those items that are considered as an
integral part of the realty, even though technically they could be legally
considered as personalty.
