                               APPRAISAL OVERVIEW

    The appraisal assignment as evidenced by this report was conducted at the
         request of the client reflecting the client's choice of purpose
   and scope, and does not seriously contradict the appraiser's advice unless
                                   so stated.

   There are three basic types of appraisals relative to property inspection:

             Full Inspection, Limited Inspection and No Inspection.
 If the specified scope is other than Full Inspection, the client and any reader
  of this report should understand the limitations and assumptions inherent in
      the specified scope and that "Limited" or "No" inspection can equate
       to limited information and added assumptions as to existence, usage
                                and conditions.

    Certain information provided to the appraiser by the client or any agent
    of the client is assumed to be provided in good faith and be free of any
                                  known errors.

   The listed property, in general, is being utilized for its intended purpose
    Which the appraiser assumes to be (within reason) the "highest and best"
  use as designed, unless specified below. Any property not inspected is valued
                                     based.



                    PURPOSE, FUNCTION AND SCOPE OF APPRAISAL

      The purpose and function of this appraisal is to provide an estimate
         of value of subject property as described by the "Exhibits and
        Fixed Asset Listing" enclosed. This appraisal is stated in terms
                                       of:

                            ORDERLY LIQUIDATION VALUE
                          FORCED SALE LIQUIDATION VALUE
                                     REMOVED
                             (FOR LENDING SECURITY)

               and is based on one or more approaches to value as
               indicated below and described in the "Definitions"
                             section of this report.

                              MARKET/SALES APPROACH
                                  COST APPROACH
         (INCOME APPROACH WAS CONSIDERED AND DETERMINED NOT APPLICABLE)

        Thescope of this appraisal assignment has been determined by the
         clients requirements and is subject to limiting conditions and
                     definitions set fourth in this report.
                       This appraisal is classified as a:

                        LIMITED APPRAISAL - NO INSPECTION

             WHERE APPLICABLE, PROPERTY INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED BY
                THE APPRAISER OR DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE UNDER
                          ADVISEMENT OF THE APPRAISER.

                                   ASSUMPTIONS
                            (UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE)

1.       ALL ASSETS LISTED DO EXIST AND ARE OWNED BY SUBJECT FIRM.

2.       THERE HAVE BEEN NO MODIFICATIONS TO THESE ASSETS THAT WOULD HAVE
         SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON VALUE.

3.       ASSET CONDITIONS STATED AS UKN ARE ASSUMED TO BE GOOD.



                             CONDITIONS OF APPRAISAL

TYPE INSPECTION - The type of inspection performed is determined by the purpose
and scope as established between the client and appraiser. The standard method
is to inspect all property if reasonable. Options may also include limited
inspection or no inspection.
(See Definitions - Purpose and Scope of Appraisal)

VALUE CONCEPT - The value concept used for this appraisal was chosen by the
client and may or may not be the most favorable concept for this particular
application.
(See Definitions - Value Concept and Purpose and Scope)

APPROACH TO VALUE - Several approaches to value should be employed by the
appraiser. Under certain conditions one or more approaches may be omitted if
determined to have no practical application to the subject property.
(See Definitions Approaches to Value and Purpose and Scope)

APPRAISAL FEE - The appraiser signing this report is compensated based on a fee
determined to be reasonable for the work performed and is not contingent on the
value outcome. Further, the appraiser has no other financial interest in the
property being appraised.

CONDITION OF PROPERTY - The condition of the subject property/assets has been
assumed to be adequate relative to original design considering age and normal
use unless otherwise noted. This typically applies to Limited Appraisals where
individual asset conditions are not considered.
(See Definitions-Conditions)

OWNERSHIP - All property/assets listed in this report are assumed to be free and
clear of any liens or encumbrances and ownership thru valid purchase, title, or

                              TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

FAIR MARKET VALUE (FMV) - "The value expressed in cash or cash equivalent which

free from undue stimulus; 4) financially capable of ownership and/or use; 5)
allowed a reasonable length of time in which to test the market."

For all assets appraised, it also represents the amount a reputable and
qualified appraiser, unaffected by personal interest, bias or prejudice, would
recommend to a prospective purchaser as a proper price or cost in light of
prevailing conditions.

the itemized report are assumed to be sold on a "piecemeal basis as is and where
is" with the buyer being responsible for removal at their own expense.

ORDERLY LIQUIDATION VALUE (OLV) - "The estimated amount in cash or cash
equivalent which could be realized over a period of 90 to 120 days at a sale
conducted in an orderly and controlled manner by an objective party using
limited marketing efforts as dictated by the time requirements and held under
economic conditions equivalent to those in place as of the date of this report.

equivalent which could be realized at a controlled,. professionally marketed and

report.

This definition IMPLIES Removed Value, where removed means all items listed in
the itemized report are assumed to be sold on a "piecemeal basis as is and where
is" with the buyer being responsible for removal at their own expense.

No consideration is given to the effect of the sale/removal of items on the
value of other items in the sale since the order of sale is not under control of
the appraiser and buyer motivation may change based on the order of sale.



FAIR MARKET VALUE - IN PLACE (FMV-IP)- "The value expressed in cash or cash
equivalent which a willing buyer would be justified in paying and a willing
seller would be warranted in accepting if each is: 1) well informed or well
advised; 2) motivated by reactions of typical users; 3) free from undue
stimulus; 4) financially capable of ownership and/or use; 5) allowed a
reasonable length of time in which to test the market."

Value consideration is given to the property IN PLACE for the purpose of
continued use. This includes added value for transportation, installation,
set-up, permitting, etc. In-Place value assumes ownership of or legal right to
use of any facility in which subject property resides and that the subject
property will be utilized to its highest and best use.

No consideration is given to the effect of the sale/removal of individual items
on the value of other items in the sale since it is assumed all assets are sold
as a group.


ORDERLY LIQUIDATION VALUE - IN PLACE (OLV-IP)- "The estimated amount in cash or
cash equivalent which could be realized over a period of 90 to 120 days at a
sale conducted in an orderly and controlled manner by an objective party using

REPLACEMENT COST (RPLCI - An amount expressed in cash or cash equivalent which
one would pay to obtain, transport and install the same item or closest matching
in performance, to the item being appraised. This value may be greater than
original cost depending on inflation, availability, location, etc.

REPRODUCTION COST (RRDC) - An amount expressed in cash or cash equivalent which
one would expect to pay to transport and install a newly constructed replica
(including all design and engineering costs) of the subject asset.

COST APPROACH - An estimate of value based on replacement cost less
depreciation. Depreciation may be physical deterioration due to age and use;
decreased functionality due to technology, changes in product standards, etc.;
or economic factors such as management decisions, depressed market conditions
for the product(s) produced by the item or government regulations. This approach
is best used as a support for other approaches.

MARKET/SALES COMPARISON APPROACH - Value based on comparison with similar items
sold or listed for sale in the common market for this type of item. Comparison
is made on "like levels" such as unconditional sale to fair market or auction
sale to forced liquidation value, etc. Other factors may or may not be applied,
such as comparable age, condition, location, etc. Comparisons are made on a
"closest like kind" basis where exact comparisons are not available.

INCOME APPROACH - This approach to value is NOT often used for individual items
of machinery and equipment but can provide a guide and is useful in conjunction
with other approaches. The income approach supports an estimate of value based
on analysis of future earnings and remaining life of subject property.

FULL INSPECTION - A full inspection indicates all items listed have been
inspected. While most items are considered to be inspected individually, some
"Lots" may be inspected as such and not by individual piece due to their size,
quantity and relative weight to the overall appraisal.

LIMITED INSPECTION - Specific items are selected for inspection and considered
representative of all items in terms of condition, care and accuracy to records
provided. This is most common with rental assets that may be difficult to
inspect due to location. Items not inspected are reflected as "UKN" condition.



NO INSPECTION - In some cases an appraisal of property may be conducted based on
information provided to the appraiser by the client without physical inspection.
Assumptions are often made by the appraiser in conducting such an appraisal.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT - The appraiser makes no environmental impact studies
relative to subject property and does not imply any compliance or lack of
compliance to environmental laws by the values assigned in this report. While a
value may reflect the effects of compliance, the appraiser is not responsible to
monitor, report or in any way control compliance to environmental issues.

                                 VALUE ANALYSIS

The values stated in this report are based on the stated approaches to value and
reference material as listed below. Every item listed may not have applicable
information within all the stated approaches and therefore may be limited to
only one approach. The listed references were used as an aid in determining the
value characteristics and contribute to the conclusion of value(s).

1.      WFA records and files relating to value. These may be prior
        projects/research reflecting values, costs, trends, formulas, etc.



                                 CONDITION CODES

These condition codes apply to Full and Limited Inspections only and are used to
describe the apparent condition of an item or items at the time of inspection.
WFA/COLLATERAL REVIEW SERVICES, INC. cannot assume responsibility for any latent
defects not discernible upon inspection. Equipment not functional in the
ordinary course of business will be so stated in this report.

         VG                Verv good, excellent condition with no requirement
                           for repairs and usually considered above average;
                           would be longer than average before any required
                           maintenance.

         G                Good condition, usually considered average to that
                          which would be expected for an item of like age and
                          utility; would require standard continued maintenance.

         F                Fair condition, generally considered below average but
                          operable; could use repairs or improvement;
                          questionable continued or extended use.

         P                Poor condition, may or may not work and in all
                          likelihood requires maintenance for even the most
                          limited use; needs immediate attention.

         S                Salvage condition, considered as such where function
                          is completely diminished and the property is
                          considered usable for parts only.

         X                The property has no function and is not adequate for
                          salvage. Value relates to material content only.

                          a determination could not be made for various reasons.
                          This could mean the item was not totally accessible or
                          conditions made proper inspection difficult.

LAND VALUE ESTIMATE "OBI LEASED PARCEL"

The sales analysis grid on the preceding page indicates a wide unit value range
for the "Oilfield Barges, Inc. or OBI Leased Parcel" of $45,095 to $60,368 per
acre.

Although this parcel is located at the south end of "The Port", it has good
industrial utility. It has+/-380 feet of frontage on the east side of Cornelius
P. Voorhies Road and also fronts (+/-715 feet), on the west side of this 80-foot
public right-of-way. Two boat slips ("Slip No. 1", "Slip No. 4") jut into the
western boundary. Frontage along the eastern shoreline of the Commercial Canal
totals+/-360 feet.

Based upon the analysis, the appraiser has concluded a market value estimate of
$50,000 per acre as the unit value of the underlying land of the "Oilfield
Barges, Inc. Leased Parcel" assuming it were unencumbered by lease.

LAND VALUE ESTIMATE "UNIVERSAL PARTNERS PARCEL"

COMPARABLE LAND SALE NOS. 1 THRU 5 are market oriented sales of non-waterfront
or "dry" tracts located inside "The Port" neighborhood or adjacent comparable
neighborhoods. These five land sales are utilized in the valuation of the
"UNIVERSAL PARTNERS" Parcel. This portion of the appraised property is the only
non-waterfront or "dry" tract and Comparable Land Sale Nos. 1 thr~ 5 are
considered reliable indicators of value.

The "Universal Partners" Parcel is located adjacent to "The Port of Iberia"
which is comparable to the locations of COMPARABLE LAND SALE NOS. 2 THRU 4.

COMPARABLE LAND SALE NO. 3 is the purchase of an adjacent 16.46 acre tract by
"Omega Services". According to the President (Thomas Granger) of "Omega", the
company had to have this parcel to expand its fabrication yard. The price paid
was excessive (approximately "double the market price" according to Mr.
Granger). Based upon an analysis of comparative data (COMPARABLE LAND SALE NOS.
1, 2 AND 4), IT would support a+/-50% to+/-60% downward adjustment of
"CONDITIONS OF Sale" to COMPARABLE LAND SALE NO. 3.


COMPARABLE LAND SALE NO. 5 is considered to have a superior location (closer to
U.S. Highway 90) and must be adjusted down for this superior feature. The size
of the location adjustment is derived by comparing COMPARABLE LAND SALE NO. 5 to
the adjusted values of the other four sales. COMPARABLE LAND SALE NO. 5 is also
much larger than the appraised site requiring a downward adjustment.

The bales analysis grid on the preceding page indicates a unit value range for
the "Universal Partiers" Parcel of $7,899 to $9,231 per acre.

        i

A current listing in the immediate area is a 9.5 acre site fronting Port Road on
the north side of the railroad right-of-way between Curtis Lane and Lewis Street
across from Allen Process Systems. This site is wooded and is currently offered
at $95,000 by Pelican Real Estate or $10,000 per acre.

Based upon the analysis, due to the irregular shape of the western boundary line
and because a trap mission line servitude encumbers a portion of the property,
the appraiser has concluded a mar ket value estimate of $8,000 per acre as the
unit value of the underlying land of the "Universal Partners Parcel". "UNIVERSAL
