Addendum (5)

In preparing our estimate current market value of the subject property, a
number of current listings and sales comparables have been examined, and we
have placed most emphasis on sales of dwellings offering similar location and
quality of improvement.

Comparable No. 1 is a recent private sale, improved with a 5 year old, 2 storey
with basement, architectural design building containing a total of 7,000 square
feet livable area.  It is situated on a similar size lot, slightly superior in
location, however, slightly inferior in quality of finishing, has a slightly
sloped driveway.

Comparable No. 2 is a slightly dated sale, improved with a newly constructed 2
storey with basement, architectural design building containing a total of 6,340
square feet livable area.  It is situated on a similar size lot, slightly
inferior in location and quality of finishing, has a level driveway.

Comparable No. 3 is a recent exclusive sale, improved with a 6 year old, 2
storey with basement, architectural design building containing a total of 7,027
square feet livable area.  It is situated on a slightly larger lot, similar in
location and quality of finishing, has a slightly sloped driveway.

Comparable No. 4 is a recent sale, improved with a 5 year old, architectural
design building containing a total of 6,368 square feet livable area.  It is
situated on a similar size lot, inferior in location, has similar quality of
finishing, and a driveway moderately sloped down from street.

Comparable No. 5 is a dated sale, improved with a newly renovated and
modernized 17 year old, 2 storey with basement building containing a total of
9,000 square feet livable area.  It is situated on a slightly larger but
steeply sloped lot, similar in location and quality of finishing.

These data suggested an adjusted range in value of the subject property from
$2,700,000 to $2,800,000, within this range, we feel that the lower limit is
warranted due to the current soft market condition.

Therefore based upon our inspection and analysis of limited data available, it
is our opinion that the market value of the subject property on May 30, 1995
was:-

                 TWO MILLION AND SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
                                  ($2,700,000)

Addendum (6)


FINAL ESTIMATE OF VALUE

In the subject appraisal, two approaches to value have been employed with the
following results:


                                                
                           Cost Approach           $2,800,000
                           Market Approach         $2,700,000


Both approaches provide the similar results.  There is weakness in the Cost
Approach as the subject is a new dwelling and is difficult to estimate the
developer's profit.

In the Market Approach, truly comparable sales are scarce and a considerable
amount of adjustments for location, building and lot size, age and quality of
improvements of the comparable sales have been made.  The indicated value
estimate relies somewhat on our experience and judgement.  Both approaches
contain weakness but combine to provide a reasonable indication of value.

In our final analysis, we have placed more weight on the Market Approach.
Therefore, it is our opinion that the market value of the subject property as
at May 30, 1995 was $2,700,000.

The reasonable exposure time is likely in the region of three to nine months.

expressed as of the date of this appraisal cannot be relied upon as of any
other date except with further advice from the appraiser confirmed in writing.

2. No responsibility is assumed for matters of a legal nature that affect
either the property being appraised or the title to it.  It has been assumed
that the title is good and marketable and, therefore, no opinion is rendered
about the title.  The subject property must comply with government regulations,
including zoning, building code and health regulations and, if it doesn't
comply, its non-compliance may affect market value.  To be certain of
compliance, further investigation may be necessary.  The property is appraised
on the basis of it being under responsible ownership.

3. No survey of the property has been made.  Any sketch in the appraisal report
shows approximate dimensions and is included only to assist the reader of the

5. Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report, there are no known
unapparent or hidden conditions of the property (including but not limited to
its soils, physical structure, mechanical and other operating system, its
foundation etc.) or adverse environmental conditions (on it or a neighbouring
property, including the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances etc.)
that would make the property more or lose valuable.  It has been assumed that
there are no such conditions unless they were observed at the time of
inspection or became apparent during the normal research involved in completing
the appraisal.  The attached report should not be construed as an environmental
audit or a detailed property condition report, as such reporting is beyond the
scope of this report and/or the qualifications of the appraiser.

that do exist, or for any research, testing or engineering that might be
required to discover whether such conditions exist.

         CERTIFICATION AND STATEMENT OF LIMITING CONDITIONS - PAGE 2
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APPRAISER'S CERTIFICATION: The Appraiser certifies and agrees that:

1. The subject market area has been researched and a minimum of three recent
sales of properties have been selected that are the most similar and proximate
to the subject property for consideration in sales comparison analysis and a
dollar adjustment have been made where appropriate to reflect the market
reaction to those items of significant variation.  If a significant item in a
comparable property is superior to, or more favourable then, the subject
property, a negative adjustment is made to reduce the adjusted sales price of
the comparable and, it a significant item in a comparable property is inferior
to, or lose favourable than the subject property, a positive adjustment is made
to increase the adjusted sales price of the comparable.

2. All factors known to the appraiser (and to the extent that the data permits)
that have an impact on value have boon taken into consideration to the extent
felt necessary in rendering a considered opinion of value.  No significant
information has been knowingly withhold from the appraisal report and it is
believed to the best of my knowledge, that all statements and information in
the appraisal report are true and correct.

3. Only my personal, unbiased, and professional analysis, opinions, and
conclusions are stated in the appraisal report.  Included on this form are all
contingent and limiting conditions affecting the analysis, opinions, and
conclusions, whether they were imposed by the terms of the assignment or by the
appraiser.

4. I have no past, present or prospective interest in the property that is the
subject to this report, and I have no present or prospective personal interest
in the property or bias with respect to the parties involved.

5. The opinion of value stated within this report does not result from a
requirement to report a predetermined value or direction in value that favours
the cause of the client or any related party, the attainment of a specific
result, or the occurrence of a subsequent event in order to receive the
compensation and/or employment for performing the appraisal.  The reported
value is not based on a requested minimum valuation, a specific valuation, or
the need to approve a specific mortgage loan.

6. The appraisal has been performed in conformity with the Standards of the
Appraisal Institute of Canada with the exception of the departure provision of
those Standards, which does not apply.  It is acknowledged that an estimate of
