INTRODUCTION

SCOPE OF WORK

This appraisal, presented in a self-contained report, is intended to comply with the reporting requirements outlined under the USPAP for a self-contained appraisal report. The report was also prepared to comply with the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics of the Appraisal Institute.

Cushman & Wakefield Western, Inc. has an internal Quality Control Oversight Program. This Program mandates a “second read” of all appraisals. Assignments prepared and signed solely by designated members (MAIs) are read by another MAI who is not participating in the assignment. Assignments prepared, in whole or in part, by non-designated appraisers require MAI participation, Quality Control Oversight, and signature.

For this assignment, Quality Control Oversight was provided by James W. Myers, MAI. In addition to a qualitative assessment of the appraisal report, James W. Myers, MAI is a signatory to the appraisal report and concurs in the value estimate(s) set forth herein.

The scope of this appraisal required collecting primary and secondary data relevant to the subject property. Improved sales were researched in the subject’s market, rental data was analyzed, and the input of buyers, sellers, brokers, property developers and public officials was considered. A physical inspection of the property was made. In addition, the general regional economy as well as the specifics of the subject’s local area was investigated.

The data have been thoroughly analyzed and confirmed with sources believed to be reliable, leading to the value conclusions in this report. The valuation process used generally accepted market-derived methods and procedures 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 Cost Approach was not developed because investors do not typically utilize replacement cost as the basis for their investment decisions, for this type of property. The estimate of physical obsolescence is somewhat speculative. In addition, new retail development is not economically feasible in the current recessionary environment.

INLAND EMPIRE REGIONAL ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

MARKET DEFINITION

The Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Metropolitan Statistical Area (Inland Empire) is located in southern California and includes Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. While the metro area covers a vast geographical area, the bulk of the land is desert, and the region’s population is concentrated in the western portion of both counties, adjacent to the population centers of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The city of Riverside, located in Riverside County, is the largest incorporated area within the MSA.

Inland Empire’s location “Inland” from the Pacific Ocean and the coastal regions of Los Angeles and Orange Counties has dictated its level growth in industry and in community. In comparison to the latter mentioned regions, Inland Empire’s relatively inexpensive land prices combined with an unprecedented supply of vacant land propelled the region into a key distribution and manufacturing center nationally and globally.

Some key points to consider are:

• The Inland Empire evolved as an expansion community of neighboring Orange and Los Angeles Counties. As such, the Inland Empire market is heavily influenced by economic conditions in those counties, which declined significantly since 2008.

• Inland Empire market activity is tied, to a certain degree, to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The decline in activity at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach since the end of 2007 exacerbated recessionary conditions in an already weakened local economy.

The following map depicts the Inland Empire area in relation to the adjacent Los Angeles-Orange County region:

RETAIL CENTER REGIONAL ANALYSIS 6

CURRENT TRENDS

The Inland Empire region is still feeling the residual effects of the national recession and struggling to recover. The region is strengthened, however, by the increase in trade passing through the area’s warehouse and distribution centers due to an increase in port activity in Los Angeles and Long Beach. Economic instability is expected to persist as unstable economic conditions linger across most employment sectors throughout the region, but monthly hiring increases in July 2010 in construction suggest small steps toward economic growth. Projections from Moody’s Economy.com also suggest that the Inland Empire’s status as a secondary, affordable alternative to its neighboring costal regions of Los Angeles and Orange Counties will prove lucrative for future investment prospects as low commercial and residential real estate prices spur an increase in market activity, thus stimulating the region’s economy in the long term.

Further points of consideration are:

• Sectors dependent upon the housing market, such as construction, financial services, insurance, and real estate, have experienced significant reductions in employment despite rising sales prices and a decline in the number of mortgage defaults. Employment in the construction industry experienced the greatest year-over decline between July 2009 and June 2010, down 9,100 jobs.

• Improvements in the housing market signal an approaching recovery, according to Moody’s Economy.com, but weaknesses in new construction and wavering local government income due to declines in tax revenues are major impediments to sustained economic recovery for the Inland Empire.

DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS

DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

The Inland Empire’s population is one of the youngest in the country, with a median age of only 31.6 years—more than five years younger than the U.S. median of 36.8 years. Given this very young population, the Inland Empire lags the United States in terms of educational attainment. Only 16.2 percent of the Inland Empire population has a Bachelor’s degree or better compared to 24.7 percent of the United States’ population. However, despite the discrepancy in education, the Inland Empire region exceeds the national levels for average and median household income. Additionally, 22.0 percent of Inland Empire households have annual incomes of $100,000 or more compared to the national level of 19.3 percent.

Some points to consider are:

• The variance in the national and regional levels of education and income suggests that there is a desire in the Inland Empire for a large population of workers with specialized skill sets in sectors like transportation, manufacturing and construction that do not require a postsecondary degree.

• An explanation for the Inland Empire’s young population is the higher quality of living for a lower cost than in the region’s neighboring coastal counties. In order to meet their budgets, young professionals, new families and other traditional first-time homebuyers are looking to the Inland Empire as a reasonable alternative so they can purchase larger homes for more affordable prices.

POPULATION

Population growth in the Inland Empire region has consistently outpaced that of the national average as the favorable climate conditions and the diverse economy of Southern California encouraged an above average number of people to relocate to the region. In fact, population growth for the Inland Empire region reached record levels in recent years as the migration “Inland” from the coastal areas of Southern California increased notably. Skyrocketing land prices, mass congestion, and the world’s largest freeway infrastructure helped the region to develop primarily into an extensive “bedroom” community, reinforcing its reliance on the aforementioned markets and establishing the Inland Empire as an affordable, secondary Southern California location.

The following points summarize the region’s population growth statistics:

• Inland Empire’s population grew at an average annual rate of 2.7 percent between 2000 and 2009, nearly three times the national average rate of 0.8 percent.

• Although forecasts project that the Inland Empire’s population growth will increase at an average annual rate of 1.0 percent through 2014 – continuing to outperform the annual rate of 0.8 percent forecast for the United States – the residual effects of the recession and declining employment will result in fewer people migrating to the Inland Empire area overall.

In the following exhibit and all subsequent time-series graphs, please note that the shaded bars indicate the periods of a U.S. economic recession. The chart depicts population growth by year for the United States and Inland Empire from 2000 to 2014:

HOUSEHOLDS

Household formation trends in the Inland Empire region follow closely with trends in the regions population growth. As mentioned earlier, the high quality of life and relative affordability compared to the more desirable coastal areas of Los Angeles and Orange County helps maintain above average growth. While household formation trends appear to mirror overall population gains, household growth is expected to rise above population growth levels over the next five year period, as the number of people occupying a single housing unit is expected to increase more rapidly than the overall population. This trend of household formation, an increase that is higher than population growth, can be traced to such sociological factors as longer life expectancies, increasing divorce rates, and young professionals postponing marriage.

Further considerations are as follows:

RETAIL CENTER REGIONAL ANALYSIS 9

• Household growth since 2000 averaged 2.6 percent, almost three times greater than the national average ten-year growth at 1.0 percent as a result of the Inland Empire’s rapid growth between 2000 and 2007.

• The projected household growth rate is forecasted to remain above the national average at 1.4 percent over the next five years compared to 1.2 percent for the nation as the Inland Empire stabilizes after a long period of growth followed by a devastating recession.

ECONOMIC TRENDS

GROSS METRO PRODUCT

The Inland Empire’s Gross Metro Product (GMP) growth has generally outpaced that of the United States, but has slowed considerably since peaking in 2004. According to the data supplied by Moody’s Eonomy.com, in terms of annual GMP the region experienced negative 1.9 percent growth during 2008, compared to positive 0.2 percent growth in 2007 and 4.6 percent growth in 2006. GDP growth in 2009 slowed even further to a rate of negative 2.4 percent. Moody’s Economy.com anticipates that the market will see some recovery by the end of 2010 with an expected growth rate of 2.8 percent.

Further considerations on the Gross Metro Product include:

• The Inland Empire’s GMP averaged an impressive 4.0 percent annual growth between 2000 and 2009, just over double the nation’s 1.8 percent average rate over the same period.

• The Inland Empire’s GMP growth is forecast to decelerate to an average annual rate of 3.7 percent in the next five years ending in 2014, but it will continue surpass the 3.4 percent annual growth projected for the nation as the region continues to recover from the national recession.

EMPLOYMENT GROWTH

Over the last decade, the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario MSA consistently ranked among the nation’s top metro areas in total employment growth. Job growth has decreased, however, especially in those sectors affiliated with the housing sector due to the unstable economic conditions. Construction recorded the greatest annual loss of employment in the Inland Empire with 9,100 jobs cut between July 2009 and July 2010, but recorded the only monthly gain between June and July 2010, according to the State of California Employment Development Department.

Notable points worth mentioning include:

• Federal stimulus funds allocated to infrastructure construction in the Inland Empire have contributed to the monthly increase in construction employment.

• Employment growth (non-farm) in the Inland Empire averaged 1.9 percent annually between 2000 and 2009, 1.8 percentage points above the national growth rate of 0.1 percent for the same period.

• Moody’s Economy.com anticipates that total employment growth in the Inland Empire will slow to an annualized rate of 1.5 percent between 2010 and 2014, below the 1.8 percent annual rate projected for the United States.

UNEMPLOYMENT

The national unemployment rate reached 9.5 percent in July 2010 with the number of unemployed persons totaling 14.6 million, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario MSA unemployment rate reached 15.1 percent in July 2010 according to the State of California Employment Development Department. This rate reflects an increase of 70 basis points over Inland Empire’s June 2010 unemployment rate of 14.4 percent. The region has lost 22,800 non-farm payroll jobs in the twelve months ending July 2010, with notable losses in the government, retail, and trade/transportation and utilities sectors. The mining and logging sector reported the only year-over gain, but the educational and health services sectors did not lose any jobs.

Further considerations include:

• The annual unemployment rate for the Inland Empire MSA in 2009 averaged 13.3 percent, higher than the nation’s average annual 2009 unemployment rate of 9.3 percent.

• The region’s average unemployment rate is expected to reach 14.8 percent by year-end 2010 due to Inland Empire’s lingering recessionary conditions. Moody’s Economy.com expects that the unemployment rate will slowly trend downward through 2014 leveling out around 9.9 percent.

• The influence of port activity in Long Beach and Los Angeles accounts for the variance in unemployment compared to national and state levels. The twin ports witnessed an 8.5 percent decline in the total container volume in 2008 and another 19.0 percent decline as of year-end 2009, thus negatively impacting employment in the wholesale and logistics sectors in the Inland Empire region. There has been a year-over-year increase of 17.1 percent, however, in the twelve months ending in June 2010.

EMPLOYMENT DISTRIBUTION

The Inland Empire employment base has traditionally been dominated by the trade, transportation and utilities, construction, and government sectors. The region’s extensive supply of land for warehousing and residential development provided a suitable alternative to the lack of available space and the subsequent skyrocketing land values along the more desirable coastal areas of Southern California, thus enabling the trade, transportation and construction industries to grow extensively over the past decade.

Additional considerations regarding employment distribution include:

• Employment in the construction sector accounts for approximately 5.2 percent of overall employment in the Inland Empire compared to 4.3 percent for the nation. The construction sector declined rapidly in 2007, and is projected to increase slowly throughout the second half 2010, finally showing positive growth in 2011.

• The government sector offers some stability to offset the volatility in the cyclical sectors of the Inland Empire economy with a 20.4 percent share of all employment.

• The Inland Empire’s largest sector, trade, transportation and utilities, maintains a 24.0 percent share of all employment. This segment of the economy is driven by the warehouse/logistics industry and supported by the region’s solid transportation infrastructure.

MAJOR EMPLOYERS

Inland Empire’s top three private employers, in terms of staff are Stater Bros. Markets with 18,000 employees, Arrowhead Regional Medical center totaling 18,000 employees and the County of Riverside, also with 18,000 employed in the region. Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, however, are not listed on the table below as they are government employers. There are two Fortune 1000 companies headquartered in the Inland Empire region: 1) Stater Bros. Markets, ranked 59th in the state of California and 580th in the nation, and 2) Watson Pharmaceuticals, ranked 77th in California and 769th in the nation.

Further points for consideration are:

• Educational and health services sector is the largest growing employment sector in the Inland Empire according to the State of California Employment Development Department. This sector represents six out of the ten largest private employers in the region.

• Long-term projections from Moody’s Economy.com state that the Inland Empire’s growing global transportation system will transform the composition of major employers, especially in terms of manufacturers.

The Inland Empire region offers vast amounts of available land for future growth complemented by a strategic west coast location. The area’s sophisticated transportation infrastructure and highly-skilled workforce produces a desirable environment for businesses looking to emigrate from the crowed coastal markets to a more affordable area. The lingering effects of the recession, however, will continue to drastically affect the short-term outlook for the region driven in large part by the fractured housing market. Although the short-term projections paint a darker picture, the Inland Empire is expected to see slight improvement throughout the second half of 2010 before escalating to a faster pace of growth in 2011.

Final thoughts:

• The region’s available land and low rates will drive economic growth in the long term, despite the near-term problems facing the local economy. Cost savings will lure firms to the Inland Empire area as office and industrial space costs are less expensive than the crowded coastal markets.

The Inland Empire will have strong long-term growth, according to Moody’s Economy.com, but the region will continue to be outperformed by its more affluent neighbors in terms of income and in its ability to attract high-value industries because of discrepancies in labor force quality.

LOCATION

The subject property is located in the city of Upland, which is located in southwest San Bernardino County in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The city of Upland is bounded by the cities of Ontario to the south, Montclair to the southwest, Claremont to the west, and Rancho Cucamonga to the east. It generally extends from the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains on the north to the San Bernardino 10 Freeway on the south, and from the Cucamonga Creek on the east to Mills Avenue on the west. Upland is 20 miles west of the San Bernardino Civic Center and 35 miles east of the Los Angeles Civic Center. The city covers approximately 15.1 square miles, or 9,664 acres and was incorporated in 1906, after previously being named North Ontario. The area that was once primarily agricultural in nature has developed into a residential and retail community consisting of single-family, multi-family, commercial and retail developments.

ACCESS AND TRANSPORTATION

The Inland Empire Metropolitan Area is served by a freeway network which includes the freeways detailed below.

Interstate 15 Ontario Freeway

I-15 is a north/south freeway starting about 90 miles south of Riverside in the City of San Diego, travels through Nevada, Utah and Idaho ending at the Canadian border. This freeway is a major trucking route leading north out of the Inland Empire region to Barstow, Las Vegas and points beyond.

Interstate 10 San Bernardino Freeway

I-10 is an east/west freeway starting in Los Angeles to the west, passing through Palm Springs and Phoenix, and ending in Las Cruces, New Mexico in the east. It is a major thoroughfare for traffic between Southern California and Arizona. It is also one of the most heavily traveled trucking routes in the Southwest US.

State Route 60 Pomona Freeway

SR 60 is an east/west freeway that merges with Interstate 10 about 25 miles east of Riverside and again with Interstate 10 near downtown Los Angeles. In between, it connects to many north/south freeways.

State Route 91 Riverside Freeway

SR 91 is an east/west freeway that connects the Inland Empire with Orange County and the southern part of Los Angeles County. It is often identified as being one of the most heavily traveled freeways in the nation. Primarily serving to connect commuters to Orange County, morning and evening commute times can take up to 2 hours for this 20 mile stretch of freeway. It connects many north/south freeways.

State Route 210 Foothill Freeway

SR 210 is a bypass freeway (companion freeway) that was recently completed to relieve congestion on I-10. It is an east/west freeway connecting northern San Fernando Valley to the Inland Empire. This freeway generally extends along the foothills through communities of Sylmar in the west to San Bernardino in the east.

Highway 71 Chino Valley Freeway

Highway 71 - extends northward from State Route 91 to I-10 is the newly widened Chino Valley Freeway. The freeway, formerly a narrow two lane highway, was upgraded to accommodate increased traffic resulting from massive residential development over the past two decades.

Upland has good access to the San Bernardino (10) Freeway, the major east/west freeway through the Inland Empire region. The 10 Freeway provides direct access to the majority of major freeways in the Southern California region. The Ontario (15) Freeway extends in a north/south direction through the eastern portion of the city. The Foothill (210) Freeway extends in an east/west through the northern portion of Upland and connects the northern San Fernando Valley to the Inland Empire.

The city of Upland has a relatively well-developed system of surface arterials, which provides access to all points within the city. Major north/south streets through the city include, from west to east, Grove Avenue, Euclid Avenue and Mountain Avenue. Major east/west streets, from north to south, include 19th Street, Baseline Road, Foothill Boulevard, Arrow Route, and 6th Street.

Running through the region is the BNSF railway, formerly known as the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway. This connects the Inland Empire to the deep water ports of Long Beach and San Pedro about 50 miles to the west. Metrolink stations are situated in nearby Ontario and Upland connecting the area with much of the Greater Los Angeles area, Orange County and the San Fernando Valley. Public bus transportation is provided by Omnitrans.

Ontario International Airport (ONT) is the single most significant transportation facility in Ontario. It is the center of a maturing freight movement system that includes the airport, two railroads, four major freeways, and an expanding network of freight forwarders. Ontario International Airport is also a medium-hub, full-service airport with commercial jet service to major U.S. cities and through service to many international destinations. It serves a population of six million people living in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, and portions of north Orange County and east Los Angeles County. Passenger traffic at Ontario International Airport had been increasing steadily until the recession impacted air travel. Airlines that operate from the airport include Southwest, Delta, American, America West, Alaska, United, Continental, Northwest, Skywest, JetBlue, and AeroMexico.

The “new” Ontario International Airport opened in September 1998 after a $270 million expansion project created two new terminals totaling 530,000 square feet. The new addition is eight times larger than the former terminal and can accommodate up to ten million passengers a year. Additional improvements of the project included a new ground transportation center, an additional parking lot and new roadway system, airfield improvements, landscaping, and a site storm-drain system. The current recession has significantly diminished both passenger and cargo traffic in and out of the airport and all international flights have been cancelled.

Upland’s proximity to the Ontario International Airport is advantageous, particularly given the congestion and difficult access of Los Angeles International Airport and John Wayne International Airport in Orange County.

LOCAL ACCESS AND TRANSPORTATION

The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Euclid Avenue in the central portion of Upland. The site is accessible via the Foothill (210), and San Bernardino (10) Freeways. The San Bernardino (10) Freeway is situated approximately one mile to the south, with on and off-ramps situated at Euclid Avenue, and the Foothill (210) Freeway is situated approximately two miles to the north, with on and off-ramps situated at Mountain Avenue. The Ontario (15) Freeway is located approximately six miles east of the site, and is accessible via a full freeway interchange with the Foothill (210) and San Bernardino (10) Freeways. Overall, the subject property has average to good regional (freeway) and local (street) access.

THE SUBJECT’S IMMEDIATE ENVIRONS

The subject’s immediate surroundings are as follows:

North:

Directly north of the subject land uses generally consist of neighborhood and community shopping centers along Foothill Boulevard. Land uses north of Foothill Boulevard, south of the Foothill (210) Freeway generally consist of residential neighborhoods comprised of good quality single-family homes.

South:

South of the subject property, north of the San Bernardino (10) Freeway land uses generally consist of residential neighborhoods comprised of a mix of single and multi-family residential uses. Approximately three quarters of a mile south of the subject is Western Christian High School.

East:

East of the subject land uses generally consist of neighborhood and community shopping centers along Foothill Boulevard with residential uses on the secondary streets further east.

West:

West of the subject, land uses also generally consist of neighborhood and community shopping centers along Foothill Boulevard. In addition, Upland High School is located approximately one block west of the subject property at the southwest corner of San Antonio Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

Overall, the subject’s immediate surroundings provide an accessible, well-planned retail setting for the subject property.

CONCLUSION

Overall, the city is well suited for most land uses with a middle income population with good growth potential and an ample supply of housing, relative to the area. The region in general has a favorable balance of white and blue-collar workers. The subject’s locational influences on value are considered to be most supportive of land uses that conform to the local area’s retail/commercial nature along the major thoroughfares. The lack of available finished sites in the area indicates that the area is built-up and mature, with limited opportunities for new construction. And finally, despite the presence of some negative factors (primarily due to the current recession), the city, county and state influences on the subject property’s long-term value are positive overall.

RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

A variety of factors influence the performance of a property in the market. In this section we provide an in-depth analysis of both the market in which the subject property competes and its position within that market. Our analysis begins by defining the subject’s property type so that it can be understood in the context of the local retail structure. This competitive set is then analyzed in detail. Next, we thoroughly review current market statistics such as supply, absorption, vacancy, effective rental rates and new and proposed construction. Having quantified these components, we then determine a reasonable trading area for the subject based on highway accessibility, geographic constraints and area growth patterns including planned infrastructure improvements. We finish our Retail Market Analysis by examining the underlying demographic indices that define the trade area such as population, household income and retail sales potential. Comparisons are made to larger study areas such as the CBSA, state and U.S. as a whole in order to place the historical and prospective performance of the subject trade area in context.

The subject is best described as strip retail space within a Neighborhood Center. Neighborhood centers reflect a convenience concept and typically encompass 30,000 to 150,000 square feet of GLA, including anchors, on three to five acres. They will typically have one or more anchors (supermarket) with a 30 to 50 percent anchor ratio and a primary trade area of three miles.

NATIONAL RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

Signs of recovery are building momentum in the retail market following a year of unprecedented challenges. Consumers remain wary of the strength of the recovery, but are showing a renewed willingness to spend as the job market stabilizes. Retail sales, the largest single component of the U.S. economy, grew by 6.2 percent year-over-year in the first ten months of 2010. This sustained improvement led the International Council of Shopping Centers to forecast the strongest holiday season since 2006.

The upswing in retail sales and thawing capital markets have provided a much needed boost to investment in shopping centers and other retail assets. Transactions of retail properties in the first three quarters of 2010, as reported by Real Capital Analytics (RCA), totaled $11.9 billion, a 77.8 percent increase from the similar period in 2009. Market experts we have surveyed are hopeful that the improvement in consumer fundamentals will provide continued support for the recovery.

NATIONAL RETAIL INVESTMENT SALES MARKET

Improving consumer fundamentals and better access to credit have led to a sustained increase in transaction activity over the course of the year. As more investors return to the market, there is evidence that capitalization rates (OARs) are compressing. The Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey published by PricewaterhouseCoopers reports that national power center and strip shopping center OARs bottomed in third quarter of 2007 at an average of 7.0 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively. Regional mall cap rates reached a low of 6.7 percent in the first quarter of 2008.

In the third quarter of 2010, national power center OARs averaged 8.4 percent, strip shopping center OARs averaged 8.1 percent, and regional mall OARs averaged 7.8 percent. Regional mall and strip center OARs decreased by 12 and 29 basis points, respectively, during the quarter. Capitalization rates for power centers decreased by 32 basis points. Higher-quality assets in primary urban and suburban markets are viewed most

The gradual resurgence of Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) has contributed to the increase in transaction activity. At its peak in 2007, CMBS issuance totaled $230.0 billion in the United States. Retail assets accounted for approximately one-third of total CMBS volume. Funding plunged in the midst of the financial crisis beginning in late 2008. Total CMBS issuance in 2008 was $12.0 billion, followed by a mere $3.0 billion in 2009. As investors return to the market, issuance is on track to reach between $10.0 and $15.0 billion in 2010.

A recent report by Bank of America/Merrill Lynch Global Research lends additional support to the recent compression of capitalization rates. The report compares the movement of implied commercial real estate cap rates to that of the 10-Year Treasury and BAA rated bond yields. Cap rates and bond yields jumped sharply during the height of the financial crisis at year-end 2008. Rates have now fallen significantly as confidence returns to the market. As of June 2010, implied shopping center and regional mall cap rates decreased by 177 basis points and 190 basis points, respectively year-over-year. Implied cap rates for both property types are at the lowest level since June 2008.

NATIONAL RETAIL MARKET SUMMARY

Through the third quarter 2010 the retail market continues to show clear signals of recovery. Retail sales are increasing, tenant rent concessions have abated, and new leasing is beginning to get done. However, given the record decline in retail sales, continued weakness in the credit markets, and glut of supply, investment will remain challenged for much of the year. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke commented on September 15, 2009 that the recession was “very likely over at this point.” Mr. Bernanke’s statement was validated by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which declared an official end to the recession in June 2009.

For many consumers the recovery remains tenuous, at best. Consumer sentiment, as measured by the University of Michigan/Reuters survey in October 2010, was down by 4.1 percent year-over-year. Confidence has declined since the start of 2010 mainly due to a weaker outlook for economic growth during the years ahead. It will indeed take years for consumers’ balance sheets to recover and to return potential spending growth to pre-recession levels. However, we are hopeful that the recent signs of life from consumers will establish a foundation for a meaningful, yet protracted, recovery through the balance of the year.

REGIONAL & LOCAL RETAIL MARKET OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

Data for the analysis of the San Bernardino/Riverside Retail market was provided by Reis, Inc., a leading provider of multifamily and commercial real estate performance information since 1980. Their proprietary database includes trends, forecasts, news and analyses for approximately 200,000 multifamily and commercial properties in 232 metropolitan markets (4 property types multiplied by 58 metropolitan areas) and roughly 2,500 submarkets.

Current and historical figures are compiled by highly qualified industry analysts. Surveyors, as they are called, are responsible for gathering information on property availabilities, rents and lease terms, etc. by directly contacting owners, managers and leasing agents. Projected data is calculated using a suite of economic forecasting models developed by The Economic Research Group, a team led by Ph.D. economists.

Reis’ data are released on a quarterly basis, and is widely recognized as a fundamental tool for appraisers throughout the country.

SAN BERNARDINO/RIVERSIDE RETAIL MARKET

Reis, Inc. classifies the San Bernardino/Riverside Retail market into six submarkets, and segregates inventory by type of space (community versus neighborhood shopping centers). The subject lies in the Rancho Cucamonga/Chino submarket of San Bernardino/Riverside.

ABSORPTION

Absorption measures change in the level of occupied space in a geographic region over a specific period of time. Absorption is not a measure of leasing activity. It reflects increasing, stable or decreasing demand for space. If the level of occupied space increases from one period to the next, demand has increased. If no change has occurred, demand is stable. If the level of occupied space is lower, demand has decreased. All things being equal, positive absorption lowers vacancy rates and negative absorption increases vacancy rates. A newly constructed building that enters the marketplace vacant will adversely affect the vacancy rate but have no bearing on absorption since it has not altered the level of occupancy.

Over the past few years, new construction activity in the San Bernardino/Riverside region has exceeded absorption. As shown below, an annual average of 1,382,200 square feet of space was completed in the region between 2005 and 2009, while 925,600 square feet was absorbed. Over the next five years, Reis projects that construction will trail absorption with new construction totaling 2,729,000 square feet, and absorption totaling 2,888,000 square feet.

Between 2005 and 2009, new construction in the Rancho Cucamonga/Chino submarket outpaced absorption, with an annual average of 204,800 square feet completed and 126,400 square feet absorbed. Over the next five years, Reis projects that new construction will surpass absorption (new construction will total 584,000 square feet, and 465,000 square feet is expected to be absorbed).

RETAIL CENTER RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS 31

SAN BERNARDINO/RIVERSIDE CONCLUSION

The San Bernardino/Riverside Retail market has experienced increased vacancy levels since 2005. Over the near term, new construction activity is expected to trail absorption. However, in the next five years vacancy should decline from 10.1 to 9.0 percent, while average asking rental rates are expected to increase from $17.93 per square foot to $18.94 per square foot.

TRADE AREA OVERVIEW

A retail center’s trade area contains people who are likely to patronize that particular center, and its ability to draw these people comes from the strength of the anchor tenants, complemented by regional and local tenants. Customers are drawn by a given class of goods and services, and a successful combination of these elements creates a destination for customers seeking both variety and the comfort and convenience of an integrated shopping environment.

To define and analyze the market potential for the subject property, we must first establish the boundaries of the trade area from which customers will be drawn. In some cases, defining the trade area may be complicated by the existence of other retail facilities on main thoroughfares in trade areas that are not clearly defined or whose trade areas overlap with that of the subject.

Once the trade area is defined, the area’s demographics and economic profile can be analyzed, providing key insight into the area’s potential for the subject.

SCOPE OF TRADE AREA

To define trade area we must thoroughly review the retail market and the competitive structure of the general marketplace, as well as the subject’s position within that marketplace.

COMPETITIVE RETAIL STRUCTURE

To examine the subject property in its proper context we must also examine its most direct competition and give consideration to the potential for new competition via proposed centers. Upland Town & Country Center is a neighborhood center with a wide mix of tenants, including Coco’s restaurant, Marshalls, CVS, Bank of America, Citibank, and smaller local and regional tenants. The potential trade area for the subject is defined by the location and drawing power of surrounding retail centers. The competitive retail centers with the subject are presented on the table below.

OTHER COMPETITION

The subject property’s other competition comes from various freestanding stores and/or off-price, or discount-oriented big box users. The area also contains various other nodes of retail development that offer varying degrees of competition to the subject.

PROPOSED COMPETITION

In the near term, competition from proposed centers will be limited as most projects have been postponed or put on hold indefinitely. Further, most lenders have no appetite for proposed retail projects making it difficult for retail developers to obtain construction financing.

ANCHOR PROFILES

Below are profiles of the stores located within the subject’s neighborhood center.

CVS

CVS Corp. operates one of the largest drug store chains in the United States, based on revenues, net income and store count. The company offers prescription drugs and a wide assortment of general merchandise, including OTC drugs, beauty products and cosmetics, film and photo finishing services, seasonal merchandise, greeting cards and convenience foods. As of December 2006, net selling space in retail and specialty drugstores was 55.5 million square feet, with about half of its store base opened or significantly remodeled within the past five years.

RETAIL CENTER RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS 33

CVS is the largest United States drug store chain, based on store count, with over 6,200 stores as of December 2006, in 43 states and the District of Columbia. The company has stores in 77 of the top 100 drug store markets in the United States, holding the number one and number two market share in 58 of these markets. In 2006, these locations filled over 513 million prescriptions, accounting for about 16 percent of the retail pharmacy market in the United States. The company’s pharmacy operations accounted for 70 percent of reported sales in 2006.

MARSHALLS (TJX COMPANIES)

Marshalls, Inc., is a chain of American department stores owned by TJX Companies. Marshalls has over 750 conventional stores, as well as larger stores named Marshalls Mega Store, covering 42 states and Puerto Rico. Plans are in place to enter the Canadian market in Spring 2011. Marshalls is the U.S.’s second largest off-price family apparel and home fashion retailer, behind its sister company, TJ Maxx.

T.J. Maxx and Marshalls (together known as Marmaxx) are off-price retailers in the United States with a total of 1,703 stores. Both chains sell family apparel (including footwear and accessories), home fashions (including home basics, accent furniture, lamps, rugs, wall decor, decorative accessories and giftware) and other merchandise, primarily targeting the middle to upper-middle income customer demographic. The Company differentiates T.J. Maxx and Marshalls through product assortment (including an assortment of fine jewelry and accessories at T.J. Maxx, and a line of footwear and broader men’s and juniors’ offerings at Marshalls), in-store initiatives, marketing and store appearance.

TRADE AREA ANALYSIS

We considered several factors in defining boundaries for the subject’s trade area. First, the property’s location with respect to transportation provides the basis for regional access to the area. Second, competition and geographic boundaries help to define the potential size of the trade area as a measure of distance from the property. Third, the merchandising mix and anchor alignment provides the basic draw of customers that are likely to patronize the property.

The Upland Town & Country Center is located in the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario CBSA and benefits from good regional and local accessibility, as well as the proliferation of peripheral draws. Major roadway proximity to the center provides the necessary access to more regional destinations throughout the area, while the property’s anchor stores provide the necessary drawing power for the property.

We analyzed the subject’s trade area based on the following:

Highway accessibility, including area traffic patterns, geographical constraints, and nodes of residential development;

The position and nature of the area’s retail structure, including the location of destination retail centers which compete with the subject and the strength and composition of the retail infill; and

The size, anchor tenancy, and merchandising composition of the subject property’s tenants.

Given all of the above, we believe the subject property’s primary trade area would likely span an area encompassing about three miles around the center. The subject’s secondary trade area might span up to five miles from the site given its regional accessibility and location of competitive properties.

Using these observations, we analyzed a primary demographic profile for the subject based on a radius of approximately three miles from the property. To add perspective to this analysis, we segregated our survey into one, three, and five mile concentric circles with a comparison to the CBSA, state, and the United States. This data is presented on the following page.

POPULATION

Having established the subject’s trade area, our analysis focuses on the trade area’s population. Claritas, Inc. provides historical, current and forecasted population estimates for the total trade area. Patterns of development density and migration are reflected in the current levels of population estimates.

Between 2000 and 2009, Claritas, Inc., reports that the population within the primary trade area (3-mile radius) increased at a compound annual rate of 0.93 percent. This is characteristic of suburban areas in this market. This trend is expected to continue into the near future albeit at a slightly faster pace. Expanding to the total trade area (5-mile radius), population is expected to increase 1.52 percent per annum over the next five years.

HOUSEHOLDS

A household consists of a person or group of people occupying a single housing unit, and is not necessarily a family unit. When an individual purchases goods and services, these purchases are a reflection of the entire household’s needs and decisions, making the household a critical unit to be considered when reviewing market data and forming conclusions about the trade area as it impacts the retail center.

Figures provided by Claritas, Inc. indicate that the number of households is increasing at a faster rate than the growth of the population. Several changes in the way households are being formed have caused this acceleration, specifically:

The population is living longer on average. This results in an increase of single- and two-person households;

Higher divorce rates have resulted in an increase in single-person households; and

Many individuals have postponed marriage, also resulting in more single-person households.

According to Claritas, Inc., the Primary Trade Area grew at a compound annual rate of 0.52 percent between 2000 and 2009. Consistent with national trends, the trade area is experiencing household changes at a rate that varies from population changes. That pace is expected to continue through 2014, and is estimated at 1.06 percent.

Correspondingly, a greater number of smaller households with fewer children generally indicates more disposable income. In 2000, there were 3.06 persons per household in the Primary Trade Area and by 2009, this number is estimated to have increased to 3.17 persons. Through 2014, the average number of persons per household is forecasted to increase to 3.21 persons.

TRADE AREA INCOME

Income levels, either on a per capita, per family or household basis, indicate the economic level of the residents of the trade area and form an important component of this total analysis. Average household income, when combined with the number of households, is a major determinant of an area’s retail sales potential.

Trade area income figures for the subject support the profile of a broad middle-income market. According to Claritas, Inc. average household income in the primary trade area in 2009 was approximately $71,666, 98.37 percent of the CBSA average ($72,853) and 86.57 percent of the state average ($82,786).

Further analysis shows a relatively broad-based distribution of income, although skewed toward the lower income brackets, similar to the distribution within the larger CBSA. This information is summarized as follows:

RETAIL SALES

Perhaps an even more important measure of area income is the amount spent on retail purchases. At the end of last year, the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario CBSA had an aggregate retail sales level of $61.56 billion, with average retail sales per household of $47,304. By comparison, California had average sales per household of $44,815, while the U.S. was $39,837.

CONCLUSION

We analyzed the retail trade history and profile of the subject’s region and primary trade area in order to make reasonable assumptions regarding the continued performance of the property.

A metropolitan and locational overview was presented which highlighted important points about the study area. Demographic and economic data specific to the trade area were also presented. Marketing information relating to these sectors was presented and analyzed in order to determine patterns of change and growth as it impacts the subject. The data quantifies the dimensions of the total trade area, while our comments provide qualitative insight into this market. A compilation of this data forms the basis for our projections and forecasts for the subject property. The following are our key conclusions.

The San Bernardino/Riverside Retail market has been performing worse since 2005, mainly as a result of increasing vacancy levels. Over the near term, new construction activity is expected to trail absorption, resulting in a decline in vacancy levels. Over the next five years, vacancy is projected to decline from 10.10 to 9.00 percent, while asking rental rates are expected to increase from $18.50 per square foot to $19.03 per square foot.

Generally, the subject’s neighborhood center anchor tenant alignment is perceived with average ratings. The subject property benefits from the draw of two (shadow) anchor tenants, including CVS and Marshalls.

As such we believe the property will serve a market encompassing a radius of 5-miles. Over the next five years, both the population and number of households in the subject’s trade area are projected to moderately increase. Household income levels in the area are lower than the state and CBSA and above national levels.

The subject has good accessibility via the regional Interstate network and local arterials that provide linkages throughout the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario CBSA.

Based on our analysis we concluded that the subject is well positioned within its market area and the prospect for net appreciation in real estate values is expected to be good.

According to the local assessor’s office, taxes are current. If the property were sold it would be re-assessed to the Assessor’s opinion of market value which, in most cases, is the sale price. We assumed a reassessment of the property based on the value conclusion in this appraisal.

The Jarvis-Gann Initiative known as Proposition 13 limits property taxes in California. Enacted in 1975 to reduce property taxes, the act places constitutional restrictions on the method of valuation and assessment of property taxes. In effect, the maximum tax rate allowed under this proposition is one percent (plus an increment for pre-existing bonded indebtedness) of market value. Market value assessments can only be increased by a maximum of two percent per year, except when a property transfers, substantial new construction occurs, or there is a significant change in the property’s use. Taxes can be appealed on an annual basis by property ownership or authorized representatives.

ZONING CONCLUSIONS

We have analyzed the zoning requirements in relation to the subject property, and considered the conformance of the existing use. Based on our review of the applicable provisions of the City of Upland Zoning Code, and our examination of the subject improvements, it appears the subject property represents a legal, conforming use.

Detailed zoning studies are typically performed by a zoning or land use expert, including attorneys, land use planners, or architects. The depth of our study correlates directly with the scope of this assignment, and it considers all issues that have been discovered through our due diligence, and which are pertinent. We note that this appraisal is not intended to be a detailed determination of compliance, as that determination is beyond the scope of this real estate appraisal assignment, as agreed to with the client.

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.

RETAIL CENTER HIGHEST AND BEST USE 48

HIGHEST AND BEST USE

HIGHEST AND BEST USE DEFINITION

The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fifth Edition (2010), a publication of the Appraisal Institute, defines the highest and best use as:

The most probable use of a property which is physically possible, appropriately justified, legally permissible, financially feasible, and which results in the highest value of the property being valued.

To determine the highest and best use we typically evaluate the subject site under two scenarios: as though vacant land and as presently improved. In both cases, the property’s highest and best use must meet the four criteria described above.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF PROPERTY AS THOUGH VACANT

LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE

The zoning regulations in effect at the time of the appraisal determine the legal permissibility of a potential use of the subject site. As described in the Zoning section, the subject site is zoned CH(S) - Highway Commercial Zone by the City of Upland. Permitted uses within this district include general retail and support commercial, professional office. We are not aware of any further legal restrictions that limit the potential uses of the subject.

PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE

The physical possibility of a use is dictated by the size, shape, topography, availability of utilities, and any other physical aspects of the site. The subject site contains 0.99 acres, or 43,170 square feet, within a larger neighborhood center that has a functional site layout. The site is irregularly shaped and level at street grade. It has good frontage, average access, and average visibility. The overall utility of the site is considered to be average. All public utilities are available to the site including public water and sewer, gas, electric and telephone. Overall, the site is considered adequate to accommodate most permitted development possibilities. Street improvements are also adequate.

FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE AND MAXIMALLY PRODUCTIVE

In order to be seriously considered, a use must have the potential to provide a sufficient return to attract investment capital over alternative forms of investment. A positive net income or acceptable rate of return would indicate that a use is financially feasible. Financially feasible uses are those uses that can generate a profit over and above the cost of acquiring the site, and constructing the improvements. Of the uses that are permitted, possible, and financially feasible, the one that will result in the maximum value for the property is considered the highest and best use.

CONCLUSION

We considered the legal issues related to zoning and legal restrictions. We also analyzed the physical characteristics of the site to determine what legal uses would be possible, and considered the financial feasibility of these uses to determine the use that is maximally productive. Considering the subject site’s physical characteristics and location, as well as the state of the local market, it is our opinion that the Highest and Best Use of the subject site as though vacant is a shopping center developed to the highest density possible and when warranted by demand.

RETAIL CENTER HIGHEST AND BEST USE 49

HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF PROPERTY AS IMPROVED

The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal defines highest and best use of the property as improved as:

The use that should be made of a property as it exists. An existing improvement 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.

In analyzing the Highest and Best Use of a property as improved, it is recognized that the improvements should continue to be used until it is financially advantageous to alter physical elements of the structure or to demolish it and build a new one.

LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE

As described in the Zoning Analysis section of this report, the subject site is zoned CH(S) - Highway Commercial Zone. The site is improved with a multi-tenant shopping center. In the Zoning section of this appraisal, we determined that the existing improvements represent a legal, conforming use.

PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE

The subject improvements were constructed in 1978 and are in average condition. We know of no current or pending municipal actions or covenants that would require a change to the current improvements.

FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE AND MAXIMALLY PRODUCTIVE

In the Reconciliation section, we concluded to a market value for the subject property, as improved, of $1,050,000. In our opinion, the improvements contribute significantly to the value of the site. It is likely that no alternate use would result in a higher return.

CONCLUSION

It is our opinion that the existing improvements add value to the site as though vacant, dictating a continuation of its current use. In addition, the leases encumbering the subject property mandate a continuation of the current use. It is our opinion that the Highest and Best Use of the subject property as improved is a shopping center as it is currently improved.

RETAIL CENTER VALUATION PROCESS 50

VALUATION PROCESS

METHODOLOGY

There are three generally accepted approaches to developing an opinion of value: Cost, Sales Comparison and Income Capitalization. We considered each in this appraisal to develop an opinion of the market value of the subject property. 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. The reliability of each approach depends on the availability and comparability of market data as well as the motivation and thinking of purchasers.

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.

We considered each approach in developing our opinion of the market value of the subject property. We discuss each approach below and conclude with a summary of their applicability to the subject property.

COST APPROACH

The Cost Approach is based on 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 are few improved 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 any value loss from physical, functional and external causes. Land value, entrepreneurial profit and depreciated improvement costs are then added, resulting in an opinion of value for the subject property.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

In the Sales Comparison Approach, sales of comparable properties are adjusted for differences to estimate a value for the subject property. A unit of comparison such as price per square foot of building area or effective gross income multiplier is typically used to value the property. When developing an opinion of land value the analysis is based on recent sales of sites of comparable zoning and utility, and the typical units of comparison are price per square foot of land, price per acre, price per unit, or price per square foot of potential building area. In both cases, adjustments are applied to the unit of comparison from an analysis of comparable sales, and the adjusted unit of comparison is then used to derive an opinion of value for the subject property.

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH

In the Income Capitalization Approach the income-producing capacity of a property is estimated by using contract rents on existing leases and by estimating market rent from rental activity at competing properties for the vacant space. Deductions are then made for vacancy and collection loss and operating expenses. The resulting net operating income is divided by an overall capitalization rate to derive an opinion of value for the subject property. The capitalization rate represents the relationship between net operating income and value. This method is referred to as Direct Capitalization.

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.

RETAIL CENTER VALUATION PROCESS 51

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 Cost Approach was not developed because investors do not typically utilize replacement cost as the basis for their investment decisions, for this type of property. The estimate of physical obsolescence is somewhat speculative. In addition, new retail development is not economically feasible in the current recessionary environment.

RETAIL CENTER SALES COMPARISON APPROACH 52

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

METHODOLOGY

Using the Sales Comparison Approach, we developed an opinion of value by comparing the subject property to similar, recently sold properties in the surrounding or competing area. This approach relies on the principle of substitution, which holds 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:

Research recent, relevant property sales and current offerings in the competitive area;

Select and analyze properties that are similar to the subject property, 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;

Identify sales that include favorable financing and calculate the cash equivalent price;

Reduce the sale prices to a common unit of comparison such as price per square foot of gross leasable area, effective gross income multiplier, or net income per square foot;

Make appropriate comparative adjustments to the prices of the comparable properties to relate them to the subject property; and

Interpret the adjusted sales data and draw a logical value conclusion.

The most widely used and market-oriented unit of comparison for properties such as the subject is the sales price per square foot of gross leasable area. All comparable sales were analyzed on this basis. The following pages contain a summary of the improved properties that we compared to the subject property, a map showing their locations, and the adjustment process.

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 the application of a traditional adjustment grid using percentage adjustments. This methodology is commonly used by participants that buy and sell property similar to the subject property, and we feel that it is the appropriate methodology to use in this assignment.

In order to estimate the market value of the subject property via Sales Comparison, we considered a cross section of improved sales involving neighborhood retail and strip centers located throughout San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Riverside, and Orange Counties. The sales are summarized on the accompanying exhibit, and include five closed sales. The sales are presented in the summary chart on the following page, which includes pertinent facts including land area, size (gross leasable area), year built, pricing (total and per-square-foot), net income per-square-foot, overall capitalization rates, and occupancy as of the date of sale.

The properties range in size from 21,269 to 95,062 square feet and were developed from 1965 to 1989. The transactions closed during the period from October 2009 to August 2010. The sales prices range from approximately $85 to $227 per square foot, and develop an average price sales price of approximately $173 per square foot. Overall capitalization rates for the data range from approximately 7.79 to 8.50 percent, with the average overall rate at about 8.09 percent. The occupancy levels at sale range from 89 to 100 percent.

PERCENTAGE ADJUSTMENT METHOD

ADJUSTMENT PROCESS

The sales we have used were the best available comparables to the subject property. The major points of comparison for this type of analysis include the property rights conveyed, the financial terms incorporated into the 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.

RETAIL CENTER SALES COMPARISON APPROACH 58

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 atypical conditions of sale are then adjusted to reflect a normal market transaction. Next, changes in market conditions are accounted for, creating a time adjusted price. Lastly, adjustments for location, physical traits and the economic characteristics of the market data are made in order to generate the final adjusted unit rate for the subject property.

We have made a downward adjustment to those comparables considered superior to the subject and an upward adjustment to those comparables considered inferior. Where expenditures upon sale exist, we have included them in the sales price.

Property Rights Conveyed

The property rights conveyed in a transaction typically have an impact on the price that is paid. Acquiring the fee simple interest implies that the buyer is acquiring the full bundle of rights. Acquiring a leased fee interest typically means that the property being acquired is encumbered by at least one lease, which is a binding agreement transferring rights of use and occupancy to the tenant. A leasehold interest involves the acquisition of a lease, which conveys the rights to use and occupy the property to the buyer for a finite period of time. At the end of the lease term, there is typically no reversionary value to the leasehold interest. Since we are valuing the leased fee interest as reflected by each of the comparables, an adjustment for property rights is not required.

Financial Terms

The financial terms of a transaction can have an impact on the sale price of a property. A buyer who purchases an asset with favorable financing might pay a higher price, as the reduced cost of debt creates a favorable debt coverage ratio. A transaction involving above-market debt will typically involve a lower purchase price tied to the lower equity returns after debt service. We have analyzed all of the transactions to account for atypical financing terms. All sales involved cash or market-oriented financing.

Conditions of Sale

Adjustments for conditions of sale usually reflect the motivations of the buyer and the seller. In many situations the conditions of sale may significantly affect transaction prices. However, all sales used in this analysis are considered to be “arm’s-length” market transactions between both knowledgeable buyers and sellers on the open market. A downward adjustment was made to sale (listing) 1 to reflect a price that will likely be negotiated down from the asking price.

Market Conditions

The sales that are included in this analysis occurred between October 2009 and August 2010. During 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009, loan-to-value ratios decreased, the cost of debt increased, and debt coverage ratios increased. The Inland Empire retail market has slowed dramatically over the past three years with a decrease in leasing activity, a decline in the number of transactions, and a decline in pricing. We note that over the course of 2010 the downward trend appears to have abated and reversed as capital markets have “loosened” as available capital exceeds the supply of good quality assets available for sale. Investors are reporting increasing interest in acquiring well-leased properties in primary markets. In light of the dynamic, changing market conditions we focused our analysis on the most recent data available data. We applied modest upward adjustments to the more dated sales in our analysis as indicated in the adjustment grid.

Location / Trade Area

The most important considerations in evaluating a potential shopping center investment include: 1) location and the quality of the trade area (population, income, existing and anticipated future competitive supply); 2) the tenant mix and the corresponding range of appeal to the trade area population; and 3) the quality of the tenant, including the duration of the existing leases.

The Location/Trade Area adjustment incorporates both the quality of the trade area (income, density, and growth) and the specific location and access of the center within the trade area.

Summary of Adjustment Considerations

No. Property Price/SF Location/Trade Area Tenant Mix Overall

1 Sun West Plaza 228 W. Hospitality Lane San Bernardino, CA $185.69 Inferior Similar Inferior

2 Stater Brothers Center 8228-8268 Sierra Avenue Fontana, CA $84.50 Inferior Similar Inferior

4 Paramount Plaza 15727-15735 Downey Avenue Paramount, CA $190.82 Similar Superior Superior

5 Tustin Courtyard 14945 Holt Avenue Tustin, CA $227.23 Superior Superior Superior

The chart above summarizes the qualitative adjustments for each of the data items in comparison to the subject property, as well as an overall indication of the appropriate adjustment to the unit price indications from the transactions.

The “Location/Trade Area” consideration is based on an evaluation of the comparable data’s trade area characteristics relative to the subject’s trade area. This rating considers population, density, income profile, and educational levels. The subject has a similar to slightly favorable demographic profile to Comparable Sales No. 1, 2 and 3, and has an unfavorable demographic profile to Comparable Sales No. 4 and 5 from the perspective of population and household density. It’s location in a moderately dense market area is considered less favorable for increased “foot traffic” in comparison to the comparables located within the more populated markets.

The tenant mix consideration reflects the subject’s mix of tenants, in comparison to the comparable data. The subject has an average mix of smaller local tenants, as well as a selection of restaurants. It does not have any major or anchor tenants. However, the subject benefits from the traffic generated from the shadow anchors located within the larger neighborhood center, which includes CVS and Marshalls.

Quality / Condition

Each property has various physical traits that determine its appeal, such as size, age, condition, quality, class, and number of stories. The subject was constructed in 1978 and is considered to be in average condition based on our inspection. The comparable data were developed from 1965 to 1989, and are considered to be of average to good quality and condition. We estimated adjustments as shown on the exhibit based on our analysis of the quality and condition of the comparable data.

Economic Characteristics

This adjustment is used to reflect differences in occupancy levels, operating expense ratios, tenant quality, and other items not covered under prior adjustments that would have an economic impact on the transaction. Each comparable was adjusted accordingly.

The summary chart includes a column showing the first-year net operating income per-square-foot for the comparable data and the subject property. Since the income-generating potential for a retail property has a direct relationship to the value of the asset, a comparison of the net income on a per-square-foot basis and the corresponding price paid per-square-foot is particularly relevant for this category of asset.

Item No. NOI per SF Time-Adjusted Price $ per SF Occ % at Sale Income/ Occupancy vs Subject

I-5 $18.72 $227 100.0% Superior

I-3 $14.01 $177 89.0% Superior

Subject $6.64 — 100.0% —

I-2 $6.58 $85 100.0% Similar

As shown in the previous summary chart, the subject’s net operating income during the first year as discussed in the Income Approach equates to $6.64 per square foot, based on the 11,763 square feet of gross leasable area used in this analysis. This figure is near the lower end of the range for the data. The chart above summarizes the net income per square foot for the data with the corresponding pricing per square foot adjusted for time. The data generally shows a consistent pattern of increasing prices with the increase in NOI. We estimated percentage adjustments for the comparable data relative to the subject based on net income levels in the reconciled conclusion.

Summary of Percentage Adjustment Method

The per-square-foot pricing for a shopping center building depends upon a number of factors, including the following:

1. The specific submarket location and the characteristics of the market;

2. The quality of the project in terms of construction and design;

3. The occupancy level at sale and the quality of the tenant base;

4. The relationship of contract rents at sale and the underlying credit of the leases if rents are over-market;

5. The rollover pattern for the existing tenant base and the anticipated costs and risks associated with lease expirations

6. The total net income on a per-square-foot basis, including consideration of parking and other sources contributing the income profile of the building.

Following all adjustments, the comparable sales reflect a range of price per square foot of gross leasable area indicators, from a minimum of $93 to a maximum of $110 per square foot, rounded. The comparables develop an adjusted average unit price of $102 per square foot, rounded. We recognize that the data varies considerably in terms of location, tenancy, and income profile, and that the adjustments are somewhat subjective for properties with this many variables.

Based on the gross leasable area of 11,763 square feet, the subject has a current occupancy level of approximately 100 percent with an NOI per square foot near the lower end of the range. It is situated within a moderately dense area within San Bernardino County along a major commercial thoroughfare with average access and visibility. After considering all of the available market data including the sales exhibited in conjunction with the characteristics of the subject property, it is our opinion that the proper unit price to apply to the subject is $100 per square foot of gross leaseable area.

Therefore, we conclude that the indicated value by the Percentage Adjustment Method was:

RETAIL CENTER INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH 63

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH

METHODOLOGY

The Income Capitalization Approach determines the value of a property based on the anticipated economic benefits. The principle of “anticipation” is essential to this approach, which recognizes the relationship between an asset’s potential future income and its value. To value the anticipated economic benefits of a property, potential income and expenses must be projected, and the most appropriate capitalization method must be selected.

The 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).

Investors acquiring this type of asset will typically look at year one returns but must also consider long-term strategies. Hence, depending on certain factors, each of the income approach methods has merit. Considering all of the aspects that would influence an investment decision in the subject property, we conclude that both methods are appropriate in this assignment.

POTENTIAL GROSS INCOME

Potential gross income is generated by a number of distinct elements: minimum rent determined by lease agreement; reimbursement of certain expenses incurred in the ownership and operation of the real estate; and other miscellaneous revenues. Minimum base rent is a legal contract between landlord and tenant establishing a return to investors in the real estate. The lease terms also dictate specific expense reimbursement charges that can be billed to the tenant. Finally, miscellaneous income can be generated from a variety of sources. The first step in this appraisal is to analyze all potential gross income, starting with an analysis of the subject’s tenancy.

SUBJECT TENANCY

The subject property is demised for multi-tenant occupancy. On the following pages we will discuss the subject's occupancy, lease structure and rent levels, and we will contrast this information against comparable properties in the market.

SPACE SUMMARY & OCCUPANCY STATUS

Base rent produced by the subject property is derived from that paid by the various tenant types. The projection used in this analysis is based on the actual rent roll as of the date of appraisal, together with our assumptions regarding the absorption of the vacant space, market rent growth, and renewal/turnover probability.

The rental income an asset such as the subject property will generate for an investor is analyzed based on its quality, quantity, and durability. The quality and probable duration of income will affect the amount of potential risk over the property's investment holding period. By segregating the income stream along these lines we can control the variables related to the forecasted performance with greater accuracy.

Minimum rents forecasted at the subject property are derived from various tenant categories. We grouped the tenants into categories that enable us to make like-kind comparisons to other subject leases, which ultimately allow us to make a meaningful comparison of each tenant category to the appropriate set of comparable rents. As an aid to the reader, we preface our analysis of the subject’s leases with a discussion of their lease structure.

LEASE STRUCTURE

A lease typically defines the responsibilities of landlord and tenant with regard to the payment of operating expenses. The Appraisal Institute advises that the following basic distinctions can be made:

Gross Lease - landlord pays all operating expenses.

Modified Lease - landlord and tenant share the cost of operating expenses.

Net Lease - tenant pays all operating expenses.

These terms do not always mean the same thing in all markets, and there are many variations to these common terms. As each market has different nomenclature, it is important to understand the terms that are used locally, and the resulting expense obligations that apply to both tenant and landlord.

It is essential to understand expense reimbursement clauses when determining the value of a property. Leases can include expense stops, expense caps, specific billing pools and expense exclusions. The tenant’s share of the expense can be pro-rata, derived by formula, or negotiated. Below we discuss the lease structures found in the local market, as well as the structure of the leases within the subject property.

Local Market Lease Structure

In the subject’s market, leases for this property type are typically written on a net basis. Under this lease structure, the tenant is obligated to pay their pro-rata share of all operating expenses. Lease terms are generally between 3 and 10 years in length. Rent increase schedules vary, but typically include rent escalations of 3 percent per annum, or fixed increases every year.

Subject Property Lease Structure

The existing leases at the subject property are generally written on a gross or modified gross basis. Under the gross lease structure, the owner is responsible for the cost of all operating expenses, and under the modified gross lease structure, the tenants and owners share the cost of all operating expenses.

At the subject property lease terms are generally between 3 and 5 years in length. Rent increase schedules typically include CPI increases.

ATTAINED RENT SCHEDULE

The attained base rent listed for each tenant equals current monthly base rent annualized, excluding any future contractual rent increases, except for the contracted leases which start after the analysis start date, where the initial monthly base rent is annualized.

(1) Lease Types as defined by The Appraisal Institute

(2) The equivalency adjustment is applied to atypical leases to reflect a common lease standard for this building or space category

A total of 6 tenants currently lease space within the property. The average rent for all of the existing tenants is $12.86 per square foot. The grand-totals exhibited in the attained rent schedule for contract rent do not incorporate lease-up or downtime provisions. Hence, the grand-totals might differ from the projections shown later in this section.

RENT ROLL EQUIVALENCY ADJUSTMENT

To account for atypical leases at the subject property, we also incorporated a rent roll equivalency adjustment. With the rent roll equivalency adjustment, a uniform standard of comparison can be obtained by adjusting contractual rent levels for those leases that have variances in lease terms. We adjusted all leases to reflect net lease terms. The net equivalent average contract rent was estimated to be $9.36 per square foot. This equivalency adjustment will be useful later when we compare the contract rent to the market, which only has merit when there is a like-kind comparison.

DISCUSSION OF COMPARABLE RENTS

We analyzed recent leases negotiated in competitive buildings in the marketplace. The comparables range in size from 1,350 square feet to 3,383 square feet. These are all located in buildings similar or superior in class to the subject, and in the subject’s competitive market. The comparable leases have terms ranging from 3 to 5 years. The comparables exhibit a range of rents from $12.00 to $21.00 per square foot, with an average of $15.63 per square foot.

Free rent concessions ranged from none to 4 months, averaging 2.00 months. Tenant improvement allowances were minimal as the market has shifted and owners no longer want to spend tenant improvement money on a tenant that may vacate prior to the owner recouping the tenant improvement cost. Instead, they would rather decrease the asking rent and allow the tenant to pay for its own improvements.

Based on recent leasing activity at the subject property and our analysis of the comparables, we have concluded to the following market rents for the subject’s retail tenants:

COMPARISON OF CONTRACT RENTS TO MARKET

We previously outlined an attained rent schedule for all current tenants of the subject property. Adjustments were made to the subject leases to account for lease type equivalency, so all of the subject’s rents could be analyzed on a like-kind basis. For comparison to the market, we will look at the lease type equivalent rates that were developed earlier in this report. It should be noted that attained rents are calculated without reference to tenant contributions over expense stops.

The following chart outlines our estimated market rent for each tenant space in the subject property and the attained equivalent rent exclusive of contributions of each lease. Comparing these figures allows us to identify whether the attained rent levels are at, above or below the market. The results of this comparison will have an impact on our selection of the investment rates used in evaluating this property.

Compiled by Cushman & Wakefield Western, Inc.

As shown above, the subject property’s average contract rent is currently 5.1 percent below market. When a property is acquired with leases that are at or close to market rent levels, the level of risk involved with the investment is generally low. However, the potential increase to the income stream in this scenario is typically limited, which tends to normalize the investment parameters of participants for these types of properties.

When a property has attained rent levels that are below market, the early returns are generally limited but there is greater potential for the income stream to increase as the below market leases rollover. There is less risk involved with tenants with below market leases, as they have a greater ability to pay the lower rent than they would market level rent. Buyers of properties with below market leases are often entering a lower risk investment with greater upside to their eventual income earning potential, resulting in overall rates that tend to be lower than normal.

Properties that are encumbered by leases with average rents that are significantly above market have increased risk in several key areas. When a property has an average rent that is above market, there is increased risk of default, slow payment or lack of payment by those tenants in that category. Also, at some point, the above market leases will expire, at which time the spaces will be re-leased at market levels. When this occurs, there is a decline in rental revenue for the property, which many times leads to a declining net income stream. When this is the case, investors will require a higher initial return to offset the declining income stream, and to guard against the heightened risk of tenant defaults.

LEASE EXPIRATIONS (ALL TERMS)

The lease expiration schedule is an important investment consideration. As leases rollover, the landlord will be required to negotiate a renewal lease with the existing tenant, or to secure a new tenant for the space. Below is the projected lease expiration schedule for this property incorporating all projected lease expirations forecast during the analysis period.

ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING EXISTING LEASES

We modeled all leases in accordance with the lease terms provided by ownership. None of the tenants is currently in default, and we assume that they will fulfill the obligations of their leases. All month-to-month tenants were assumed to vacate or sign a new lease after six months of the cash flow start date. We assumed that tenants with favorable renewal options would exercise those options. In instances when a tenant has a renewal option that is above market, we assumed a rollover to the weighted market parameters. None of the tenants have favorable renewal options.

BASE RENTAL REVENUE

Base rental revenue is comprised of actual attained rent from existing leases, and potential rent that can be generated by vacant or rollover space.

The projected base rental revenue for year one of our analysis will be an amalgamation of various factors including contractual rents and increases, base rent that will be generated by vacant space as it is absorbed, as well as rent that is lost/generated for leases expiring in the first year, weighted by our rollover assumptions. Over the analysis period base rental revenue has ranged from $144,113 to $146,508 averaging $145,311.

After a thorough analysis of the actual leases, along with our forecast for future leasing, projected base rental revenue for the subject property in year one is at $153,297, which equates to $13.03 per square foot

EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS

We analyzed the historical and budgeted reimbursement revenue, and made a projection of the future expense reimbursement revenue based on these figures. We also considered the contractual terms of the existing leases, together with our assumptions related to future leasing.

The existing tenants are generally responsible for a portion of their pro-rata share of all operating expenses. Based on our analysis, we estimated total reimbursement revenue for year one at $10,109 which equates to $0.86 per square foot.

VACANCY AND COLLECTION LOSS

Vacancy and collection loss is a function of the interrelationship between absorption, lease expiration, renewal probability, estimated downtime between leases, and a collection loss factor based on the relative stability and credit of the subject’s tenant base. Earlier in the report we discussed the vacancy rates for the market in which the subject property is located. We also discussed the subject’s occupancy level, which conversely represents its current vacancy level. The following are key statistics that we considered in projecting the appropriate vacancy and collection loss for the subject property.

VACANCY ANALYSIS

Vacancy Statistics Rate Building Class and Market

Current Vacancy at Subject Property 0.0% (Based on leases in place as of appraisal date)

Regional Vacancy Statistics 10.6% Neighborhood Centers in San Bernardino/Riverside

Local Vacancy Statistics 11.3% Neighborhood Centers in Rancho Cucamonga/Chino

Competitive Property Vacancy Statistics 8.5% From Competitive Retail Centers

Compiled by Cushman & Wakefield Western, Inc.

Based on the historical occupancy of the subject, the current vacancy in the market, and our perception of future market vacancy, we projected a global stabilized vacancy rate of 8.00 percent. We also deducted a collection loss of 2.00 percent. Total vacancy and collection loss is equal to 10.00 percent. In year one, vacancy and collection loss is projected to be $16,340. While the vacancy rates in virtually all submarkets have increased dramatically in recent months, investors perceive this as a short-term cyclical increase and are not likely to apply this higher vacancy to the income stream over a projected hold period. Our vacancy projection is reflective of an average vacancy and collection loss over a typical hold period

VACANCY DEDUCTION METHOD

We used ARGUS cash flow software for the Vacancy Deduction Method. ARGUS is the industry standard commercial real estate cash flow projection, transaction analysis and asset valuation solution. ARGUS allows specific vacancy deductions, which impact the cash flow in different ways. We selected the following, below-defined options in our cash flow model:

A: Percent Based on Revenue Minus Absorption & Turnover Vacancy

B: Reduce General Vacancy Result by Absorption & Turnover Vacancy

A. If this option is selected, the Cash Flow report line will be reduced by the absorption and turnover vacancy. If this option is not selected, ARGUS will add the absorption and turnover vacancy back into the Cash Flow revenue line before calculating the amount of general vacancy. This results in the general vacancy being calculated on the potential revenue instead of the scheduled revenue.

B. If this option is selected, ARGUS subtracts absorption and turnover vacancy from the general vacancy. The reduced amount of general vacancy will then be subtracted from the cash flow. If absorption and turnover vacancy is greater than the initial general vacancy, there will be no deduction for general vacancy and the initial general vacancy will be treated as a minimum vacancy loss. If this option is not selected, ARGUS subtracts the entire general vacancy from the cash flow without any adjustment for absorption and turnover vacancy. The initial general vacancy amount calculated in the previous section would be reported on the cash flow with no adjustment.

OPERATING EXPENSE ANALYSIS

Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. recognizes the standards defined by the Appraisal Institute as the definitive standards by which operating expense data should be analyzed. All operating statements provided by ownership have been recast to reflect these definitions, which are provided in the Glossary section of this appraisal report. In forecasting expenses, we relied on the owner’s historical statements and analyzed expense levels at competing properties. Our expense forecast is presented below, followed by a discussion of each expense line item.

(1) Reporting Period includes actual historical data only exclusive of budget and/or partial year figures

DISCUSSION OF EXPENSES

We analyzed each expense item in making our forecast, with our conclusions summarized on the previous table. In most cases, our forecast is well supported by the historical or budget information. However, in some cases, further clarification is provided below:

Property Insurance Over the analysis period this expense has ranged from $834 to $4,784, averaging $2,809. Based on our analysis, we estimated this expense for year one at $4,117, which equates to $0.35 per square foot.

Management Fees Over the analysis period this expense has been included with CAM. Management fees for this type of property typically range from 3 to 4 percent of effective gross income. We utilized a management fee of 4.0 percent of effective gross income, which we consider to be market oriented.

CAM Expense This category represents the costs for Common Area Maintenance. Over the analysis period this expense, which includes Management, has ranged from $54,917 to $63,792, averaging $59,355. Based on our analysis, we estimated this expense for year one at $47,052, which equates to $4.00 per square foot.

Real Estate Taxes Based on our analysis, we estimated this expense for year one at $11,862, which equates to $1.01 per square foot. A complete discussion of the taxes is included in the Real Property Taxes and Assessments section of this report.

OPERATING EXPENSE CONCLUSION

We thoroughly analyzed the subject’s operating expense history and we used this information to make our projections. We forecast total operating expenses for the subject property (excluding real estate taxes) to be $57,052, equating to $4.85 per square foot. The operating expenses (excluding real estate taxes) projected for the subject property reflect an operating expense ratio at stabilization of 38.79 percent of effective gross income. We forecast total operating expenses for the subject property (including real estate taxes) to be $68,914, equating to $5.86 per square foot. The operating expenses (including real estate taxes) projected for the subject property reflect an operating expense ratio at stabilization of 46.86 percent of effective gross income.

Leasing Commissions

We have modeled leasing commissions in accordance with local market standards. The standard leasing commission for new leases is 6.0 percent of the scheduled rental income in years 1 through 3, and 3.0 percent of scheduled rental income for all remaining years. On new leases, the leasing broker is entitled to a full commission. On renewing leases, the leasing broker is entitled to one half of the full commission.

FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS

The financial assumptions used in the DCF process are discussed in the following commentary.

Terminal Capitalization Rate Selection

A terminal capitalization rate was used to develop an opinion of the market value of the property at the end of the assumed investment holding period. The rate is applied to the net operating income following year 10 before making deductions for leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances and reserves for replacement. We developed an opinion of an appropriate terminal capitalization rate based on rates in current investor surveys.

TERMINAL CAPITALIZATION RATES (OARout)

Survey Date Range Average

Korpacz Third Quarter 2010 6.50% - 12.00% 8.51%

Korpacz - Refers to National Strip Shopping Center market regardless of class or occupancy Investors will typically use a slightly more conservative overall rate when exiting an investment versus the rate that would be used going into the investment. This accounts both for the aging associated with the improvements over the course of the holding period, and for any unforeseen risks that might arise over that time period.

VALUATION & ADVISORY

RETAIL CENTER INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH 76

As a result, we applied a terminal rate of 8.25 percent in our analysis. This rate is 127 basis points above the overall rate going into the investment, which is considered reasonable given the projected growth in NOI over the course of the holding period.

Reversionary Sales Costs

We estimated the cost of sale at the time of reversion to be 3.00 percent, which is in keeping with local market practice.

Discount Rate Selection

We developed an opinion of future cash flows, including property value at reversion, and discounted that income stream at an internal rate of return (IRR) currently required by investors for similar-quality real property. The IRR (also known as yield) is the single rate that discounts all future equity benefits (cash flows and equity reversion) to an opinion of net present value.

The Korpacz Investor survey indicates the following internal rates of return for competitive properties:

The above table summarizes the investment parameters of some of the most prominent investors currently acquiring similar investment properties in the United States. We realize that this type of survey reflects target rather than transactional rates. Transactional rates are usually difficult to obtain in the verification process and are actually only target rates of the buyer at the time of sale. The property’s performance will ultimately determine the actual yield at the time of sale after a specific holding period.

We previously discussed all factors that would influence our selection of a discount rate for the subject property. Given all of these factors, we discounted our cash flow and reversionary value projections at an internal rate of return of 9.25 percent.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

The Financial Crisis

The credit crunch that began to unfold in the U.S. in mid-2007 evolved into a global financial crisis by October 2008, soon after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. Many market observers equate this crisis as the greatest challenge to the world’s economic health since the Great Depression. Its effects have radically reshaped the financial sector, and its consequences continue to impact nearly every other industry. Although many financial experts believe that the worst may be behind us, economic data continues to send mixed signals.

From the start, government efforts to combat the crisis were not only robust but also unprecedented. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of October 2008 (EESA) allowed Treasury to facilitate the $700.0 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) also known as “the bailout.” In February of 2009, the American Recovery

RETAIL CENTER INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH 79

and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (AARA) was enacted by Congress and signed into law. Better known as the “stimulus bill,” the $787.0 billion package included federal tax cuts and extended unemployment benefits, in addition to increasing domestic spending on education, health care, and infrastructure. So far, about a third of the “stimulus” money has been spent. Time will tell if a second “stimulus” is needed, as some leading economists argue. For the time being, however, it appears that government policies have successfully reinvigorated the financial markets.

The fallout from the crisis was significant, widespread, and permanently altered the financial landscape. Institutions such as Lehman Brothers, which had been around for well over a century, were acquired, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, or placed into federal conservatorship. Money from TARP flooded these companies with the much-needed cash to stay afloat, pulling them, and the economy at large, from the brink of collapse. To date, a few major institutions such as Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs have repaid their TARP loans; however, the Treasury Department announced in early September 2010 that more than a sixth of institutions (primarily small banks) that received federal aid have missed their scheduled quarterly dividend payments.

Currently, the biggest concern for investors is job growth and its consequent impact on leasing activity. Without this core demand driver and a solid economic recovery, occupancy and rents will not recover and market revitalization will be muted. In the first half of 2010, a renewed vigor in the capital markets helped lift values and compressed overall capitalization rates in some transactions. This is beginning to show up in sales and investor surveys, however the sustainability of this trend will become clearer as the year comes to a close and more evidence emerges.

Economic Impact

On September 20, 2010 the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) announced that the recession that began in December 2007 officially ended in June 2009. At 18 months, it is the longest economic slump since the Great Depression. The NBER emphasized that the economy is still not operating at normal capacity, stressing that only the period of declining economic activity, which is measured by indicators such as economic output and incomes, has come to an end.

Although the economy still faces stubbornly slow growth and persistently high joblessness, enough positive indicators show that the economy may avoid a dip back into another recession. Helping support this belief is not only the recent string of better-than-expected data on housing, manufacturing and employment, but companys’ earnings have steadily improved throughout the course of the year. In fact, expectations are high that this trend will continue into the new year, raising hopes that firms may soon begin hiring in earnest again. Still, economic woes persist and most experts remain cautiously optimistic about the future of the economy, with some not entirely ruling out the possibility of a double dip recession just yet.

Listed below are some notable economic trends:

• Real gross domestic product (GDP) for third quarter 2010 was revised up to 2.5 percent from an initially estimated 2.0 percent. This is a notable increase over the second-quarter gain of 1.7 but a much more moderate pace than the 5.0 and 3.7 percent growth rates seen in fourth quarter 2009 and first quarter 2010, respectively.

• In November 2010, the economy added 39,000 jobs but the unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent. Included in the Department of Labor’s report was an upward revision in October’s number, bringing the month’s total new jobs to 172,000. More than 15.0 million people remain unemployed and 6.3 million have been without a job for six months or longer.

RETAIL CENTER INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH 80

• In October 2010, U.S. retail sales rose 1.2 percent, nearly double the gain that was expected and the largest jump since March. A large part of this increase was driven by auto sales, as sales for big US retailers reported lackluster sales in October.

• The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported that October 2010 existing home sales decreased 2.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.4 million following two monthly gains. NAR expects this pattern to continue as the housing market is experiencing an “uneven recovery”.

Commercial Real Estate Market Impact

During the recession and its immediate aftermath, reduced credit availability and sellers’ refusals to lower pricing, translated into significantly reduced transaction volume. According to Real Capital Analytics, the dollar volume of commercial real estate sales increased about 300.0 percent between 2003 and 2007, but decreased by 71.0 percent in 2008, and by roughly 63.0 percent in 2009. Total volume in 2009 was 89.0 percent below the frenetic pace recorded in 2007.

This year, however, positive indicators across all property types, including higher transaction volume, an increase in portfolio sales, compressed yields and the return of aggressive bidding, point to a market recovery. In fact, the investment market for commercial real estate entered the fourth quarter in its healthiest position since late 2007, when financing had already started to weaken. For third quarter 2010, sales volume totaled $66.3 billion, a 115.1 percent increase over third quarter 2009, and already surpassing year-end 2009 total sales volume by 22.0 percent.

The following graph displays national transaction activity by property type between 2001 and third quarter 2010:

Though Federal monetary policy (low interest rates) remains favorable for real estate investors, market remains essentially bifurcated. On one end of the spectrum, significant capital is chasing the highest quality, institutional-grade assets, which is leading to compressed OARs. On the other end of the spectrum is the distressed market wherein large opportunity funds are looking for larger distressed properties and value-add opportunities. There is still a very limited market for properties in the middle.

Other important points to consider include:

VALUATION & ADVISORY


LOGO

 

RETAIL CENTER INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH 81

• Trends in the distressed property market are improving, as there are neither excess inflows or a strong uptick in exits. This trend is expected to continue and suggests that the market may be approaching an inflection point sometime in the near future.

• Although the distressed property market is tapering, these properties still make up a significant part of the market and loan restructuring is more common as a result. Fortunately, adjusting debt service coverage ratios and the handling of non-performing loans, in general, are more easily accommodated in the current low interest rate environment.

• Despite an improved credit market, not all borrowers are benefiting equally. Lenders remain sensitive to risk which gives higher quality borrowers a distinct advantage. This stimulates an uneven improvement in prices and transaction volume across property types and markets.

• A growing number of market experts believe that office and industrial markets have reached a bottom in most major markets across the country. This is evidenced by stabilizing vacancy rates and the return of positive absorption.

Conclusion

As market observers who simulate behavior rather than affect it, we still await market evidence as to the long-term impact of the credit crisis. Risk is considered in the context of our anticipation of rental growth and most vividly in our overall capitalization and discount rate selections. Current active investor behavior reflects a higher cost of capital with the exception of top tier assets in target markets, concern about the economy, a reduced pool of investors (although this is growing), and more conservative rent growth and cash flow modeling assumptions. We recognize also that the new market purchasers will have a greater equity interest and lenders will be working with more conventional lending margins, debt and equity coverage.

The factors listed below have been key to our valuation of this property and will have an impact on our selection of all investor rates.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

Attained Rents Versus Market:

The subject’s attained rents (exclusive of expense contributions) are 5.06 percent

NOI Growth:

The subject’s NOI is expected to grow 5.45 percent per annum from the first stabilized year of the analysis through the holding period. This rate of growth exceeds levels expected in this market.

Lease Expiration Exposure:

Within the first five years of the analysis a total of 100 percent of the total net rentable area is scheduled to rollover. Extending to a ten-year period, a total of 200 percent of the space is scheduled to expire. The peak expiration occurs in year 4, when a total of 5,692 square feet is scheduled to expire. This is considered a moderate rollover exposure within this market.

Credit Tenants:

The subject property has no credit tenants. As such, the investments rates selected will be slightly more conservative than market indicators.

Real Estate Market Trends:

Real estate market trends have a significant bearing on the value of real property. The real estate market in which the subject property is located is currently declining.

Tenant Quality:

The quality of a property’s tenant base is an important factor that is scrutinized by investors prior to acquiring real property. The quality of the subject’s tenant roster is considered to be average.

DIRECT CAPITALIZATION

To further support our value conclusion derived via the discounted cash flow, we have also considered the direct capitalization method. In direct capitalization, an overall rate is applied to the net operating income of the subject property. We considered the indicated overall rates from the comparable sales utilized in the Sales Comparison Approach as well as those rates established in our Investor Survey.

CAPITALIZATION RATE ANALYSIS

In the direct capitalization method we estimated a value by dividing the subject’s net operating income by an overall capitalization rate. This overall rate (OAR) is selected based on our analysis of market sales and reported requirements from the category of investor most representative of the buyers for this asset. The overall rate is calculated by dividing the net operating income from the sales by their respective sales prices.

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 Cost Approach was not developed because investors do not typically utilize replacement cost as the basis for their investment decisions, for this type of property. The estimate of physical obsolescence is somewhat speculative. In addition, new retail development is not economically feasible in the current recessionary environment.

The approaches indicated the following:

The Sales Comparison Approach consists of the collection and analysis of data relevant to actual sales of properties deemed comparable to the subject property. Properties which have been sold are compared to the property under appraisal and adjustments to the sale prices are made based on differences between the subject property and the comparable sales. Adjustments are typically made for property rights conveyed, the financial terms incorporated into the 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. This approach was used as a secondary method of value due to the significant differences between the comparable data, including varied locations, tenant mixes, income profiles, and dates of the activity.

The Income Capitalization Approach is considered the most appropriate technique for estimating the value of the subject property. Not only does this approach represent the most direct and accurate simulation of market behavior, it is the method explicitly employed by buyers and sellers in acquisition and disposition decisions, and discounted cash flow analysis in particular provides the most accurate measure of the property’s current leasing and operating profile as well as the potential future revenues and net cash flows. Therefore, we concluded the Income Approach provides the most reliable estimate of value for the subject property.

RETAIL CENTER ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS 90

• The forecasts of income and expenses are not predictions of the future. Rather, they are the Appraiser’s best opinions of current market thinking on future income and expenses. The Appraiser and C&W make no warranty or representation that these forecasts will materialize. The real estate market is constantly fluctuating and changing. It is not the Appraiser’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 Report, envisages for the future in terms of rental rates, expenses, and supply and demand.

• Unless otherwise stated in the Report, the existence of potentially hazardous or toxic materials that may have been used in the construction or maintenance of the improvements or may be located at or about the Property was not considered 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.

• Unless otherwise stated in the Report, compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) has not been considered 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 to determine the compliance of the Property with the requirements of the ADA and the impact of these matters on the opinion of value.

• If the Report is submitted to a lender or investor with the prior approval of C&W, such party should consider this Report as only one factor, together with its independent investment considerations and underwriting criteria, in its overall investment decision. Such lender or investor is specifically cautioned to understand all Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions and the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions incorporated in this Report.

• In the event of a claim against C&W or its affiliates or their respective officers or employees or the Appraisers in connection with or in any way relating to this Report or this engagement, the maximum damages recoverable shall be the amount of the monies actually collected by C&W or its affiliates for this Report and under no circumstances shall any claim for consequential damages be made.

• If the Report is referred to or included in any offering material or prospectus, the Report shall be deemed referred to or included for informational purposes only and C&W, its employees and the Appraiser have no liability to such recipients.

C&W disclaims any and all liability to any party other than the party that retained C&W to prepare the Report.

• Any estimate of insurable value, if included within the agreed upon scope of work and presented within this report, is based upon figures derived from a national cost estimating service and is developed consistent with industry practices.

However, actual local and regional construction costs may vary significantly from our estimate and individual insurance policies and underwriters have varied specifications, exclusions, and non-insurable items. As such, we strongly recommend that the Client obtain estimates from professionals experienced in establishing insurance coverage for replacing any structure. This analysis should not be relied upon to determine insurance coverage. Furthermore, we make no warranties regarding the accuracy of this estimate.

• By use of this Report each party that uses this Report agrees to be bound by all of the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, Hypothetical Conditions and Extraordinary Assumptions stated herein.

RETAIL CENTER GLOSSARY OF TERMS & DEFINITIONS 92

GLOSSARY OF TERMS & DEFINITIONS

The following definitions of pertinent terms are taken from The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fifth Edition (2010), published by the Appraisal Institute, Chicago, IL, as well as other sources.

As Is Market Value

The estimate of the market value of real property in its current physical condition, use, and zoning as of the appraisal date. (Proposed Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, OCC-4810-33-P 20%)

Band of Investment

A technique in which the capitalization rates attributable to components of a capital investment are weighted and combined to derive a weighted-average rate attributable to the total investment.

Cash Equivalency

An analytical process in which the sale price of a transaction with nonmarket financing or financing with unusual conditions or incentives is converted into a price expressed in terms of cash.

Depreciation

1. In appraising, a loss in property value from any cause; the difference between the cost of an improvement on the effective date of the appraisal and the market value of the improvement on the same date. 2. In accounting, an allowance made against the loss in value of an asset for a defined purpose and computed using a specified method.

Ellwood Formula

A yield capitalization method that provides a formulaic solution for developing a capitalization rate for various combinations of equity yields and mortgage terms. The formula is applicable only to properties with stable or stabilized income streams and properties with income streams expected to change according to the J- or K-factor pattern. The formula is

RO = [YE – M (YE + P 1/Sn¬ – RM) – DO 1/S n¬] / [1 + DI J]

where

RO = Overall Capitalization Rate

YE = Equity Yield Rate

M = Loan-to-Value Ratio

P = Percentage of Loan Paid Off

1/S n¬ = Sinking Fund Factor at the Equity Yield Rate

RM =Mortgage Capitalization Rate

DO = Change in Total Property Value

DI = Total Ratio Change in Income

J = J Factor

Also called mortgage-equity formula.

Exposure Time

1. The time a property remains on the market. 2. The estimated length of time the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal; a retrospective estimate based on an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market. See also marketing time.

Fee Simple Estate

Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.

Hypothetical Conditions

A hypothetical condition is “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 about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”

Insurable Value

A type of value for insurance purposes.

Leased Fee Interest

A freehold (ownership interest) where the possessory interest has been granted to another party by creation of a contractual landlord-tenant relationship (i.e., a lease).

Leasehold Interest

The tenant’s possessory interest created by a lease. See also negative leasehold; positive leasehold.

Market Rent

The most probable rent that a property should bring in a competitive and open market reflecting all conditions and restrictions of the lease agreement, including permitted uses, use restrictions, expense obligations, term, concessions, renewal and purchase options, and tenant improvements (TIs).

RETAIL CENTER GLOSSARY OF TERMS & DEFINITIONS 93

Market Value

The major focus of most real property appraisal assignments. Both economic and legal definitions of market value have been developed and refined.* 1. The most widely accepted components of market value are incorporated in the following definition: The most probable price that the specified property interest should sell for in a competitive market after a reasonable exposure time, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under duress. 2. Market value is described in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as follows: A type of value, stated as an opinion, that presumes the transfer of a property (i.e., a right of ownership or a bundle of such rights), as of a certain date, under specific conditions set forth in the definition of the term identified by the appraiser as applicable in an appraisal. (USPAP, 2010-2011 ed.) USPAP also requires that certain items be included in every appraisal report. Among these items, the following are directly related to the definition of market value:

• Identification of the specific property rights to be appraised.

• Statement of the effective date of the value opinion.

• Specification as to whether cash, terms equivalent to cash, or other precisely described financing terms are assumed as the basis of the appraisal.

• If the appraisal is conditioned upon financing or other terms, specification as to whether the financing or terms are at, below, or above market interest rates and/or contain unusual conditions or incentives. The terms of above- or below-market interest rates and/or other special incentives must be clearly set forth; their contribution to, or negative influence on, value must be described and estimated; and the market data supporting the opinion of value must be described and explained. 3. The following definition of market value is used by agencies that regulate federally insured financial institutions in the United States: The most probable price that 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:

• Buyer and seller are typically motivated;

• Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests;

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

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

• 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. (12 C.F.R. Part 34.42(g); 55 Federal Register 34696, August 24, 1990, as amended at 57 Federal Register 12202, April 9, 1992; 59 Federal Register 29499, June 7, 1994) 4. The International Valuation Standards Council defines market value for the purpose of international standards as follows: The estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion. (International Valuation Standards, 8th ed., 2007) 5. Market value is the amount in cash, or on terms reasonably equivalent to cash, for which in all probability the property would have sold on the effective date of the appraisal, after a reasonable exposure time on the open competitive market, from a willing and reasonably knowledgeable seller to a willing and reasonably knowledgeable buyer, with neither acting under any compulsion to buy or sell, giving due consideration to all available economic uses of the property at the time of the appraisal. (Uniform Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions)

Property Insurance – Coverage for loss or damage to the property caused by the perils of fire, lightning, extended coverage perils, vandalism and malicious mischief, and additional perils.

Management Fees - The sum paid for management services. Management services may be contracted for or provided by the property owner. Management expenses may include supervision, on-site offices or apartments for resident managers, telephone service, clerical help, legal or accounting services, printing and postage, and advertising.

Heating supplies, maintenance, and workers’ wages are included in this expense category under certain accounting methods.

The cost of water is a major consideration for industrial plants that use processes depending on water and for multifamily projects, in which the cost of sewer service usually ties to the amount of water used. It is also an important consideration for laundries, restaurants, taverns, hotels, and similar operations.

Prospective Opinion Of Value

A value opinion effective as of a specified future date. The term does not define a type of value. Instead, it identifies a value opinion as being effective at some specific future date. An opinion of value as of a prospective date is frequently sought in connection with projects that are proposed, under construction, or under conversion to a new use, or those that have not yet achieved sellout or a stabilized level of long-term occupancy.

Prospective Value Upon Reaching Stabilized Occupancy

The value of a property as of a point in time when all improvements have been physically constructed and the property has been leased to its optimum level of long-term occupancy. At such point, all capital outlays for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, marketing costs and other carrying charges are assumed to have been incurred.

Special, unusual, or Extraordinary Assumptions

Before completing the acquisition of a property, a prudent purchaser in the market typically exercises due diligence by making customary enquiries about the property. It is normal for a Valuer to make assumptions as to the most likely outcome of this due diligence process and to rely on actual information regarding such matters as provided by the client. Special, unusual, or extraordinary assumptions may be any additional assumptions relating to matters covered in the due diligence process, or may relate to other issues, such as the identity of the purchaser, the physical state of the property, the presence of environmental pollutants (e.g., ground water contamination), or the ability to redevelop the property.
