We particularly call your attention to the following extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions: Extraordinary Assumptions: Our conversations with the maintenance supervisor indicated that the subject property experienced soil settlement in some of the concrete stairs and carports. We did not receive a copy of structural tests and we assume throughout this analysis that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the Property, subsoil or structures that render the Property more or less valuable (no responsibility is assumed for such conditions or for arranging for engineering studies that may be required to discover them). Hypothetical Conditions: This appraisal employs no hypothetical conditions. Mr. Jim Hoyt Specs, Inc.

The property was inspected by and the report was prepared by Arod B. Javier under the supervision of Guy DiRienzo, MAL This appraisal employs the Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Capitalization Approach. Based on our analysis and knowledge of the subject property type and relevant investor profiles, it is our opinion that these approaches would be considered applicable and/or necessary for market participants. The subject's age makes it difficult to accurately form an opinion of depreciation and tends to make the Cost Approach unreliable. Investors do not typically rely on the Cost Approach when purchasing a property such as the subject of this report. Therefore, we have not utilized the Cost Approach to develop an opinion of market value. Based on our Complete Appraisal as defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, we have developed an opinion that the market value of the Fee Simple estate, subject to short term leases, of the referenced property, subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions, certifications, extraordinary and hypothetical conditions, if any, and definitions, "as-is" on April 16, 2004 is: TWO MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS $2,800,000 Mr. Jim Hoyt Specs, Inc. April 29,2004 Page 3 Based on recent market transactions, as well as discussions with market participants, a sale of the subject property at the above-stated opinion of market value would have required an exposure time of approximately under twelve (under 12 months) months. Furthermore, a marketing period of approximately under twelve (under 12 months) months is currently warranted for the subject property. This letter is invalid as an opinion of value if detached from the report, which contains the text, exhibits, and Addenda. Respectfully submitted, CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD OF COLROADO, INC. /S/ AROD B.

Intended Use and Users of the Appraisal This appraisal is intended to provide an opinion of the market value of the Fee Simple interest in the property for the exclusive use of SPECS, Inc. in internal decision-making. It may be distributed to the client's attorneys, accountants, advisors, investors, lenders, potential mortgage participants and rating agencies. All other uses and users are unintended. Dates of Inspection and Valuation The value conclusion reported herein is as of April 16, 2004. The property was inspected on April 16, 2004 by Arod B. Javier. Guy DiRienzo, MAl has reviewed the report but did not inspect the property. Property Rights Appraised Fee Simple Interest Scope of the Appraisal This is a complete appraisal presented in a restricted report, intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (US PAP) for a Restricted Appraisal Report. In addition, the report was also prepared to conform to the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics of the Appraisal Institute and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), Title XI Regulations. In preparation of this appraisal, we investigated a wide array of improved sales in the subject's submarket, analyzed rental data, and considered the input of buyers, sellers, brokers, property developers and public officials. Additionally, we investigated the general regional economy as well as the specifics of the local area of the subject. The scope of this appraisal required collecting primary and secondary data relative to the subject property. The depth of the analysis is intended to be appropriate in relation to the significance of the appraisal issues as presented herein. The data have been analyzed and confirmed with sources believed to be reliable, whenever possible, leading to the value conclusions set forth in this report. In the context of completing this report, we have made a physical inspection of the subject property and the comparables. The valuation process involved utilizing market-derived and supported techniques and procedures considered appropriate to the assignment. This appraisal employs the Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Capitalization Approach. Based on our analysis and knowledge of the subject property type and relevant investor profiles, it is our opinion that these approaches would be considered applicable and/or necessary for market participants. The subject's age makes it difficult to accurately form an opinion of depreciation and tends to make the Cost Approach unreliable. Investors do not typically rely on the Cost Approach when purchasing a property such as the subject of this report. Therefore, we have not utilized the Cost Approach to develop an opinion of market value. This is a Restricted Use Appraisal Report which is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(c) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice for a Restricted Use Appraisal Report. As such, it represents no discussions of the data, reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser's opinion of value. Supporting documentation concerning the data, reasoning, and analyses is retained in the appraiser's file. The depth of discussion contained in this report is specific to the needs of the client and for the intended use stated below. The appraiser is not responsible for unauthorized use of this report. Definitions of Value, Interest Appraised and Other Terms The following definitions of pertinent terms are taken from the Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Third Edition (1993), published by the Appraisal Institute, as well as other sources. Market Value Market value is one of the central concepts of the appraisal practice. Market value is differentiated from other types of value in that it is created by the collective patterns of the market. A current economic definition agreed upon by agencies that regulate federal financial institutions in the United States of America follows, taken from the glossary of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of The Appraisal Foundation: 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 own best interests; 3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 4. Payment is made in terms of cash in US 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. Fee Simple Estate Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat. Market Rent The rental income that a property would most probably command on the open market, indicated by the current rents paid and asked for comparable space as of the date of appraisal. Cash Equivalent A price expressed in terms of cash, as distinguished from a price expressed totally or partly in terms of the face amounts of notes or other securities that cannot be sold at their face amounts. Market Value As Is on Appraisal Date The value of specific ownership rights to an identified parcel of real estate as of the effective date of the appraisal; related to what physically exists and is legally permissible and excludes all assumptions concerning hypothetical market conditions or possible rezoning. Exposure Time and Marketing Time Exposure Time Under Paragraph 3 of the Definition of Market Value, the value opinion presumes that "A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market". Exposure time is defined as the length of time the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at the market value on the effective date of the appraisal. Exposure time is presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal. The reasonable exposure period is a function of price, time and use. It is not an isolated opinion of time alone. Exposure time is different for various types of real estate and under various market conditions. As noted above, exposure time is always presumed to precede the effective date of appraisal. It is the length of time the property would have been offered prior to a hypothetical market value sale on the effective date of appraisal. It is a retrospective opinion based on an analysis of recent past events, assuming a competitive and open market. It assumes not only adequate, sufficient and reasonable time but adequate, sufficient and a reasonable marketing effort. Exposure time and conclusion of value are therefore interrelated. Based on discussions with market participants and information gathered during the sales verification process, a reasonable exposure time for the subject property at the value concluded within this report would have been under 12 months. This assumes an active and professional marketing plan would have been employed by the current owner. Marketing Time Marketing time is an opinion of the time that might be required to sell a real property interest at the appraised value. Marketing time is presumed to start on the effective date of the appraisal. (Marketing time is subsequent to the effective date of the appraisal and exposure time is presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal). The opinion of marketing time uses some of the same data analyzed in the process of estimating reasonable exposure time and it is not intended to be a prediction of a date of sale. We believe, based on the assumptions employed in our analysis, as well as our selection of investment parameters for the subject, that our value conclusion represents a price achievable within a period of under 12 months. Legal Description The subject site is identified by Shawnee County as Parcel Number 1461303002105. AREA ANALYSIS Regional Analysis The short- and long-term value of real estate is influenced by a variety of factors and forces that interact within a given region. Regional analysis serves to identify those forces that affect property value, and the role they play within the region. The four primary forces that influence real property value include environmental characteristics, governmental forces, social factors, and economic trends. These forces determine the supply and demand for real property, which, in turn, affect market value. The subject property is located in the City of Topeka in the central portion of the Topeka MSA. A profile of the Topeka MSA provided by Economy.com, a leading provider of economic, financial, and industry information indicated that "Topeka continues to be a mediocre-performing state capital economy. While the state government offices are definite assets to the metro area, they are not catalysts for growth. The metropolitan economy's dismal demographic trends will constrain growth on the service and retail fronts, while low industrial diversity will foster high employment volatility, unsettling the potential for stable growth. Longer term, the metro area's loss of migrants to faster growing, more diverse metro areas will weigh on Topeka's economy, especially on population-driven industries. The metro area is expected to lag the nation throughout the extended forecast horizon: This has been exacerbated by the closure of the TeleTech call center when it was not able to renew a contract with Verizon. The site closure resulted in the layoff of 800 employees and the loss of $17 million in payrolls annually. However, Target has recently opened a warehouse distribution center, which will slightly offset the resultant layoffs in TeleTech. Local Market Area Analysis The subject local market area is described in this section of the report. The subject property is located within the City of Topeka, the government county seat of Shawnee County, Kansas. Within the context of the Topeka MSA, the subject is located within the southerly sector of the Topeka Metropolitan Area. The Central Business and State Capital Districts of Topeka are located approximately four miles northeast of the subject property. The overall location of the subject is at the northwest quadrant of the Kansas Turnpike and Burlingame Road. The area has good access within the framework of the metropolitan area. Access characteristics to and through the neighborhood are considered good, with various major highways and arteries servicing the area. US 75 is a secondary north-south highway serving the southerly periphery of Topeka. This limited access highway terminates at Interstate 470 to the north. Interstate 470 is a peripheral looping around the southerly portion of the Greater Topeka MSA. According to the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce, this highway has experienced several improvements in the past years as part of the Kansas Comprehensive Highway Program. A new $48 million stretch connects U.S. Highway 75 with Interstate 470 near Burlingame Road. Both roadways establish the neighborhood's south perimeter. The subject is currently accessed by S.W. Burlingame Road, a secondary arterial that connects directly with Interstate 470 and indirectly with Interstate 75, and the Kansas Turnpike. The area comprising the immediate subject neighborhood has been and remains single- and multi-family residential development. However, to the east of the subject is Topeka Boulevard, the major north-south commercial thoroughfare providing accessibility throughout the city of Topeka. In this general area, Topeka Boulevard is comprised of various service commercial uses, business and industrial parks, and the Forbes Field Airport. Commercial air service is provided from Forbes Field by US Airways Express with several daily commuter flights to Kansas City International Airport. Other uses in the area along Topeka Avenue include modest single to multi-family development, and several manufactured housing communities. SW 37th Street to the south of the subject also contains several retail development. Overall, regional and local access characteristics to and through the neighborhood is considered good. Various major arteries service the area and Interstate 70 is the major east-west highway serving the Topeka Metropolitan Area. The subject's proximity to highway access causes it to be linked to other employment and residential centers throughout the Metro Area. Market Analysis Information for the Market Analysis was obtained from statistics published by NAI Cohen-Esrey Real Estate Services Inc. through year-end 2003 and previous periods. The Topeka market is broken down into four submarkets, South, Southwest, Midtown, and West submarkets with a total inventory of 7,455 units. The subject property is located in the South submarket, the smallest of all the submarkets. Occupancy for the entire market as of year-end 2003 was reported at 90.63 percent, a slight increase from the year-end 2002 rate of 88.71 percent, but still below Topeka's historical 10-year occupancy rate, except for 1996, which reported an occupancy rate of 90.36 percent. For the South submarket, occupancy was reported at 92.07 percent, an increase from year-end 2002, but still below the 95.96 percent occupancy rate experienced in 2001. We also surveyed apartment complexes that directly compete with the subject property. Our rental survey indicated a slightly lower occupancy rate of 88 percent, with a range between 80 and 95 percent. As of year-end 2003, average rental rates for the Topeka market were reported at $0.61 per square foot, a slight decrease from year-end 2002. The South submarket reported an average rental rate of $0.6075 per square foot, a substantial decrease from year-end 2002 rate of $0.70 per square foot. Rental rates since 1994 have increased at an average rate of 1.63 percent after a decrease in 2003. Our rental survey indicated a lower average rental rate at $0.57 per square foot, with a range between $0.34 and $0.96 per square foot. The Topeka apartment market maintained stabilized occupancy rates in the range of 90 and 93 percent. Since 1994, rental rates continued to increase by an average of less than two percent through 2003. Due to a downturn in economic conditions, many companies have downsized and vacated space. There have also been a large number of layoffs, particularly TeleTech. The entire Topeka apartment market as well as the subject's sub market has felt the effects. Concessions are being offered but rates remain stable in general and are projected to continue to be that way for two to three years more.

Current property taxes are presented below: PROPERTY TAX DATA (2003) Total 2003 Assessment Assessor's Parcel Number 1461303002105000 Assessor's Market Value Land $364,420 Improvements 2,843,580 Assessor's Market Value: $3,208,000 Equalization/Assessment Ratio 11.50% Assessed Value $368,920 Assessed Value per Unit $36,892 Assessed Value per SqFt $47.30 Taxes for 1st $20,000 in value $279 Total Tax Rate 14.12% Total Property Taxes $52,060 Property Taxes per Unit $5,206 Property Taxes per SqFt $6.67 ZONING The property is zoned PUD - Multi-Family by the City of Topeka. Permitted uses within this district include residential development and small-scale attendant retail. Office and industrial development is prohibited in this zoning district. Zoning regulations imposed within this district are as follows: We are not experts in the interpretation of complex zoning ordinances but the property appears to be a conforming use based on our review of public information. The determination of compliance is beyond the scope of a real estate appraisal. We know of no deed restrictions, private or public, that further limit the subject property's use. The research required to determine whether or not such restrictions exist, however, is beyond the scope of this appraisal assignment. Deed restrictions are a legal matter and only a title examination by an attorney or title company can usually uncover such restrictive covenants. Thus, we recommend a title search to determine if any such restrictions do exist. HIGHEST AND BEST USE Definition Of Highest And Best Use According to The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Third Edition (1993), a publication of the Appraisal Institute, the highest and best use is defined 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. Highest And Best Use Criteria We evaluated the site's highest and best use both as currently improved and as if vacant. Highest and Best Use of Site As Though Vacant Considering the subject site's size, configuration and topography, location among other apartment properties and state of the local apartment market, it is our opinion that the Highest and Best Use of the subject site as though vacant is investment property development to the highest density possible. Highest and Best Use of Property As Improved According to the Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, highest and best use of the property as improved is defined as: The use that should be made of a property is as it exists. An existing property should be renovated or retained as is so long as it continues to contribute to the total market value of the property, or until the return from a new improvement would more than offset the cost of demolishing the existing building and constructing a new one. . It is our opinion that the existing complex adds value to the site as if vacant, and rent levels of existing leases encumbering the subject property would dictate a continuation of the current use. Therefore, it is our opinion that the Highest and Best Use of the subject property as improved is as it is currently employed. VALUATION PROCESS Methodology There are three generally accepted approaches available in developing an opinion of value: the Cost, Sales Comparison and Income Capitalization approaches. We have considered and analyzed each in this appraisal to develop an opinion of the market value of the subject property, because this is a complete appraisal. In appraisal practice, an approach to value is included or eliminated based on its applicability to the property type being valued and the quality of information available. Each approach is discussed below, and applicability to the subject property is briefly addressed in the following summary. Land Value Developing an opinion of land value is typically accomplished via the Sales Comparison Approach by analyzing sites of comparable utility adjusted for differences, to indicate a value for the subject parcel. Valuation is typically accomplished using a unit of comparison such as price per square foot or acre. Adjustments are applied to the units of comparison from an analysis of comparable sales, and the adjusted unit of comparison is then used to derive a total value. The reliability of this approach is dependent upon (a) the availability of comparable sales data; (b) the verification of the sales data; (c) the degree of comparability; (d) the absence of non-typical conditions affecting the sales price. Cost Approach The Cost Approach is based upon the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no more for the subject than the cost to produce a substitute property with equivalent utility. This approach is particularly applicable when the property being appraised involves relatively new improvements, which represent the highest and best use of the land; or when relatively unique or specialized improvements are located on the site, for which there exist few sales or leases of comparable properties. In the Cost Approach, the appraiser forms an opinion of the cost of all improvements, depreciating them to reflect value loss from physical, functional and external causes. Land value, entrepreneurial profit and depreciated improvement costs are then added for a total value. Sales Comparison Approach The Sales Comparison Approach utilizes sales of comparable properties. adjusted for differences, to indicate a value for the subject property. Valuation is typically accomplished using a unit of comparison such as price per square foot, effective gross income multiplier or net income multiplier. Adjustments are applied to the units of comparison from an analysis of comparable sales, and the adjusted unit of comparison is then used to derive a total value. The reliability of this approach is dependent upon (a) the availability of comparable sales data; (b) the verification of the sales data; (c) the degree of comparability; (d) the absence of non-typical conditions affecting the sales price. Income Capitalization Approach This approach first determines the income-producing capacity of a property by utilizing contract rents on leases in place and by estimating market rent from rental activity at competing properties. Deductions then are made for vacancy and collection loss and operating expenses. The resulting net operating income is capitalized at an overall capitalization rate to derive an opinion of value. The capitalization rate represents the relationship between net operating income and value. Related to the Direct Capitalization Method is the Discounted Cash Flow Method. In this method, periodic cash flows (which consist of net operating income less capital costs) and a reversionary value are developed and discounted to a present value using an internal rate of return that is determined by analyzing current investor yield requirements for similar investments. The reliability of the Income Capitalization Approach depends upon whether investors actively purchase the subject property type for income potential, as well as the quality and quantity of available income and expense data from comparable investments. Summary This appraisal employs the Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Capitalization Approach. Based on our analysis and knowledge of the subject property type and relevant investor profiles, it is our opinion that these approaches would be considered applicable and/or necessary for market participants. The subject's age makes it difficult to accurately fonn an opinion of depreciation and tends to make the Cost Approach unreliable. Investors do not typically rely on the Cost Approach when purchasing a property such as the subject of this report. Therefore, we have not utilized the Cost Approach to develop an opinion of market value. The valuation process is concluded by analyzing each approach to value used in the appraisal. When more than one approach is used, each approach is judged based on its applicability, reliability, and the quantity and quality of its data. A final value opinion is chosen that either corresponds to one of the approaches to value, or is a correlation of all the approaches used in the appraisal. SALES COMPARISON APPROACH Methodology In the Sales Comparison Approach, we developed an opinion of value by comparing this property with similar, recently sold properties in the surrounding or competing area. Inherent in this approach is the principle of substitution, which states that when a property is replaceable in the market, its value tends to be set at the cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute property, assuming that no costly delay is encountered in making the substitution. By analyzing sales that qualify as arm's-length transactions between willing and knowledgeable buyers and sellers, we can identify value and price trends. The basic steps of this approach are: 1. Research recent, relevant property sales and current offerings throughout the competitive area; 2. Select and analyze properties that are similar to the property appraised, analyzing changes in economic conditions that may have occurred between the sale date and the date of value, and other physical, functional, or locational factors; 3. Identify sales that include favorable financing and calculate the cash equivalent price; 4. Reduce the sale prices to a common unit of comparison such as price per square foot, price per unit or effective gross income multiplier; 5. Make appropriate comparative adjustments to the prices of the comparable properties to relate them to the property being appraised; and 6. Interpret the adjusted sales data and draw a logical value conclusion. On the following pages we present a summary of the improved properties that we compared to the subject property, a map showing their locations, and an adjustment grid. Detail sheets describing these sales can be found in the Addenda. Due to the nature of the subject property and the level of detail available for the comparable data, we have elected to analyze the comparables through application of a traditional adjustment grid utilizing percentage adjustments and an effective gross income multiplier analysis.

The major elements of comparison for an analysis of this type include the property rights conveyed, the financial terms incorporated into a particular transaction, the conditions or motivations surrounding the sale, changes in market conditions since the sale, the location of the real estate, its physical traits and the economic characteristics of the property. The first adjustment made to the market data takes into account differences between the subject property and the comparable property sales with regard to the legal interest transferred. Advantageous financing terms or peculiar conditions of sale are then adjusted to reflect a normal market transaction. Next, changes in market condition must be accounted for, thereby creating a time adjusted normal unit of comparison. Lastly, adjustments for location, the physical traits and the economic characteristics of the market data are made in order to generate the final adjusted unit rate, which is appropriate for the subject property. Summary of PercentaGe Adiustment Method After adjusting each comparable sale for differences with the subject property, the adjusted sale price range is $29,219 to $34,358 per unit. Therefore, we conclude that the indicated value by the Sales Comparison Approach is: ADJUSTMENT METHOD CONCLUSION Rounded to Per Per Nearest Unit SqFt $100,000 Indicated Stabilized Value per $31,700 Unit Number of Units x 86 ------------ Indicated Stabilized Value $2, 726,200 $2,700,000 $31,395 $24.75 Less: Rent Loss 0 Less: Capital Improvements 66,250 ------------ Value Prior to Stabilization: $2,659,950 $2,700,000 $31,395 $24.75 Effective Gross Income Multiplier Analysis The effective gross income multiplier (EGIM) is calculated in the sales transactions by dividing the sales price by the effective gross income at time of sale. The EGIM expresses the relationship between a sales price and the property's effective gross income. All other things being equal, the lower the income, the lower the sales price. However, there are other variables that affect the income/price relationship such as the condition of the property, the vacancy at time of sale, the stability of the income stream and the likelihood of near term change (up or down). and the ratio of operating expenses to effective gross income. As all of these sales are very similar to the property appraised in terms of physical condition, access and visibility and the prospect for continuation of the income stream at or near current levels, the expense ratio is the most significant variable of difference. The expense ratio affects net operating income and, by implication, the overall capitalization rate. As the EGIM is a function of the overall capitalization rate and the ratio of net operating income to effective gross income, it is important to examine this relationship. Summary of the EGIM Analvsis All of the sales had achieved a stabilized occupancy level in Year 1 of the buyer's projections. The expense ratios of the com parables fall within a range of 37.60 percent to 66.90 percent, with the EGIM range from of 3.69x to 7.43x. Based on our projected effective rental rates for the subject, the projected stabilized expense ratio equates to 52.20 percent of the effective gross income, falling within the upper half of the range indicated by comparable sales. An inverse relationship generally exists between the expense ratio and the EGIM, i.e., the higher the expense ratio, the lower the EGIM. Conversely, the lower the expense ratio, the higher the EGIM. As evidenced by the chart, the sales included generally follow this trend. As stated, the comparable sales indicate an EGIM range of 3.69x to 7.43x. Applying this range to the Year 1 effective gross income of $598,097 ($10,941 per unit) produces a probable value range of $25,635 to $51,682 per unit. The subject's pro forma occupancy is similar to the com parables with the expense ratio in the middle to upper portion of the range. As a result, an EGIM towards 4.75x is expected. This multiplier is applied to the stabilized effective gross income estimated for the subject of $598,097 (see Income Capitalization Approach section of this report) resulting in a value conclusion as follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- EGIM SUMMARY - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- No. Property Name Effective Sale Gross Price EGIM Income - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Mt.

The principle of "anticipation" underlies this approach in that investors recognize the relationship between an asset's income and its value. In order to value the anticipated economic benefits of a particular property, potential income and expenses must be projected. and the most appropriate capitalization method must be selected. The two most common methods of converting net income into value are Direct Capitalization and Discounted Cash Flow. In direct capitalization, net operating income is divided by an overall capitalization rate to indicate an opinion of market value. In the discounted cash flow method, anticipated future cash flows and a reversionary value are discounted to an opinion of net present value at a chosen yield rate (internal rate of return). In our opinion, both the discounted cash flow and direct cap methods are appropriate to value the subject property. Historical Performance of the Subject Property The following is a summary of historical revenue and expenses as well as our Year 1 forecast for the subject property.

Estimate of Potential Unit Rental Income The potential rental income for the subject property at our projected market rent for all unit types is $646,404 on an annualized basis. These figures reflect the subject as if fully occupied and collecting market rent for every unit. For comparison purposes, the current quoted rental income is $ .49 per square foot, or approximately $646,404 in total on an annualized basis. Employee Units The practice of non-revenue units or reduced rental rates for employees is common within the market area. The subject development provides full abatement on one unit for the manager. The combined monthly rent abatement totals $9,720, which we have deducted from base rental revenue. Vacancy and Collection Loss We have forecasted a vacancy loss of 7.00 percent and a collection loss of 0.05 percent for the first two years of the analysis. We have decreased the vacancy loss to 7.00 percent on the third year and stabilized it at 6.00 percent. Rent Concessions We have deducted $7,000 as rent concessions for the first two years of the analysis stabilized the rent concession deductions in year 3 at $2,000. Other Income Our estimate is $23,650 or $ 275 per unit in Year 1. Effective Gross Income Considering all of the foregoing income and vacancy items, we have estimated a Year 1 effective gross income of $598,097, which is within -3.99 percent of that set forth in the owners 2004 budget. This adds credibility and support to our independent forecasts. Income and Expense Summary We have discussed our projections of income and expenses for the subject property. On the following chart we present our opinion of income and expenses for year 1.

We attempted to reflect the most likely investment assumptions of typical buyers and sellers in this particular market segment. Summary of Discounted Cash Flow Assumptions The following table illustrates the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis. DCF Analysis Assumptions Holding Period 10 Years Start Date: April 16, 2004 Vacancy Rate 7.00% Collection Loss Rate 0.50% Management Fee Rate 5.00% Replacement Reserves $250/unit Growth Rates Revenue 0.00%, 2.00% thereafter Expenses 3.00% Property Taxes 3.00% Rates of Return Internal Rate of Return 11.00% Terminal Cap Rate 10.25% Reversionary Sales Costs 2.00% Discounted Cash Flow Method Conclusion Based on the discount rate selected above, market value would be $2,700,000, rounded. Our cash flow projection is presented at the end of this section. Reconciliation Within Income Capitalization Approach Since the subject is a typical apartment property with normal tenant characteristics, we have placed reliance on the Direct Capitalization method. Therefore, our opinion of market value via the Income Capitalization Approach is as follows.

LIMITING CONDITIONS "Appraisal" means the appraisal report and opinion of value stated therein, to which these Assumptions and Limiting Conditions are annexed. "Property" means the subject of the Appraisal. "C&W" means Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. or its subsidiary which issued the Appraisal. "Appraiser" or "Appraisers. means the employee(s) of C&W who prepared and signed the Appraisal. General Assumptions This appraisal is made subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions: 1. No opinion is intended to be expressed and no responsibility is assumed for the legal description or for any matters, which are legal in nature or require legal expertise or specialized knowledge beyond that of a real estate appraiser. Title to the Property is assumed to be good and marketable and the Property is assumed to be free and clear of all liens unless otherwise stated. No survey of the Property was undertaken. 2. The information contained in the Appraisal or upon which the Appraisal is based has been gathered from sources the Appraiser assumes to be reliable and accurate. Some of such information may have been provided by the owner of the Property. Neither the Appraiser nor C&W shall be responsible for the accuracy or. completeness of such information, including the correctness of opinions, dimensions, sketches, exhibits and factual matters. 3. The opinion of value is only as of the date stated in the Appraisal. Changes since that date in external and market factors or in the Property itself can significantly affect property value. 4. The Appraisal is to be used in whole and not in part. No part of the Appraisal shall be used in conjunction with any other appraisal. Publication of the Appraisal or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of C&W is prohibited. Except as may be otherwise stated in the letter of engagement, the Appraisal may not be used by any person other than the party to whom it is addressed or for purposes other than that for which it was prepared. No part of the Appraisal shall be conveyed to the public through advertising, or used in any sales or promotional material without C&Ws prior written consent. Reference to the Appraisal Institute or to the MAl designation is prohibited, except as it relates to the collaboration between C&W and the Appraisal Institute relative to the Real Estate Outlook publication. 5. Except as may be otherwise stated in the letter of engagement, the Appraiser shall not be required to give testimony in any court or administrative proceeding relating to the Property or the Appraisal. 6. The Appraisal assumes (a) responsible ownership and competent management of the Property; (b) there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the Property. subsoil or structures that render the Property more or less valuable (no responsibility is assumed for such conditions or for arranging for engineering studies that may be required to discover them); (c) full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local zoning and environmental regulations and laws, unless noncompliance is stated, defined and analyzed in the Appraisal; and (d) all required licenses, certificates of occupancy and other governmental consents have been or can be obtained and renewed for any use on which the value opinion contained in the Appraisal is based. 7. The physical condition of the improvements analyzed within the Appraisal is based on visual inspection by the Appraiser or other person identified in the Appraisal. C&W assumes no responsibility for the soundness of structural members nor for the condition of mechanical equipment, plumbing or electrical components. 8. The projected potential gross income referred to in the Appraisal may be based on lease summaries provided by the owner or third parties. The Appraiser has not reviewed lease documents and assumes no responsibility for the authenticity or completeness of lease information provided by others. C&W recommends that legal advice be obtained regarding the interpretation of lease provisions and the contractual rights of parties. 9. The projections of income and expenses are not predictions of the future. Rather, they are the Appraiser's opinion of current market thinking on future income and expenses. The Appraiser and C&W make no warranty or representation that these projections will materialize. The real estate market is constantly fluctuating and changing. It is not the Appraise~s task to predict or in any way warrant the conditions of a future real estate market; the Appraiser can only reflect what the investment community, as of the date of the Appraisal, envisages for the future in terms of rental rates, expenses, supply and demand. 10. Unless otherwise stated in the Appraisal, the existence of potentially hazardous or toxic materials, which may have been used in the construction or maintenance of the improvements or may be located at or about the Property, was not analyzed in arriving at the opinion of value. These materials (such as formaldehyde foam insulation, asbestos insulation and other potentially hazardous materials) may adversely affect the value of the Property. The Appraisers are. not qualified to detect such substances. C&W recommends that an environmental expert be employed to determine the impact of these matters on the opinion of value. 11. Unless otherwise stated in the Appraisal, compliance with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) has not been analyzed in arriving at the opinion of value. Failure to comply with the requirements of the ADA may adversely affect the value of the property. C&W recommends that an expert in this field be employed. 12. Additional work requested by the client beyond the scope of this assignment will be billed at our prevailing hourly rate. Preparation for court testimony, update valuations. additional research, depositions, travel or other proceedings will be billed at our prevailing hourly rate, plus reimbursement of expenses. 13. The reader acknowledges that Cushman & Wakefield Denver has been retained hereunder as an independent contractor to perform the services described herein and nothing in this agreement shall be deemed to create any other relationship between us. This assignment shall be deemed concluded and the services hereunder completed upon delivery to you of the appraisal report discussed herein. 14. This study has not been prepared for use in connection with litigation and this document is not suitable for use in a litigation action. Accordingly, no rights to expert testimony, pretrial or other conferences, deposition, or related services are included with this appraisal. If, as a result of this undertaking, C&W or any of its principals, its appraisers or consultants are requested or required to provide any litigation services, such shall be subject to the provisions of the C&W engagement letter or, if not specified therein, subject to the reasonable availability of C&W and/or said principals or appraisers at the time and shall further be subject to the party or parties requesting or requiring such services paying the then-applicable professional fees and expenses of C&W either in accordance with the provisions of the engagement letter or arrangements at the time, as the case may be. ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS Extraordinary Assumptions An extraordinary assumption is defined as "an assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions. Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal or economic characteristics of the subject property or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends, or the integrity of data used in an analysis: (USPAP2001 Edition, ASS oIThe Appraisal Foundation, 1/1/2001, page 2). Our conversations with the maintenance supervisor indicated that the subject property experienced soil settlement in some of the concrete stairs and carports. We did not receive a copy of structural tests and we assume throughout this analysis that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the Property, subsoil or structures that render the Property more or less valuable (no responsibility is assumed for such conditions or for arranging for engineering studies that may be required to discover them). Hypothetical Conditions A hypothetical condition is defined as "that which is contrary to what exists, but is supposed for the purpose of analysis. Hypothetical conditions assume conditions contrary to known facts about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends, or the integrity of data used in an analysis: (USPAP 2001 Edition, ASS oIThe Appraisal Foundation, 1/1/2001, page 3).
