Definitions Market Value Market Value is defined as: “The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1. buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2. both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests; 3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 4. payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and 5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.”2 Fee Simple Interest or 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.”3 Real Property “All interests, benefits, and rights inherent in the ownership of physical real estate; the bundle of rights with which the ownership of the real estate is endowed.” In some states, real property is defined by statute and is synonymous with real estate. See also personal property; real estate.4 Improvements “Buildings or other relatively permanent structures or developments located on, or attached to, land.”5 2 Uniform

Personal Property “Identifiable tangible objects that are considered by the general public as being ‘personal’ -for example, furnishings, artwork, antiques, gems and jewelry, collectibles, machinery and equipment; all tangible property that is not classified as real estate.”6 Intangible Personal Property “Property that has no physical existence beyond merely representational, nor any extrinsic value; includes rights over tangible real and personal property, but not rights of use and possession. Its value lies chiefly in what it represents. Examples include corporate stock, bonds, money on deposit, goodwill, restrictions on activities (for example, patents and trademarks), and franchises. Note: Thus, in taxation, the rights evidenced by outstanding corporation stocks and bonds constitute intangible property of the security holders because they are claims against the assets owned and income received by the corporation rather than by the stockholders and bondholders; interests in partnerships, deeds, and the like are not ordinarily considered intangible property for tax purposes because they are owned by the same persons who own the assets and receive the income to which they attach.”7 Goodwill “The intangible asset that arises as a result of a name, reputation, customer patronage, location, products, and similar factors that have not been separately identified and/or valued but that generate economic benefits.8 Exposure Time “The estimated length of time the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to a hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal.9 It is our opinion that the estimated exposure time for the subject property prior to the effective date of this report would have been twelve to eighteen months.

Marketing Time “an opinion of the amount of time it might take to sell a real or personal property interest at the concluded market value level during the period immediately after the effective date of an appraisal.”10 With regard to marketability, primary consideration has been given to the subject's overall location, features, the socioeconomic characteristics of the area, and probable near-term and long-term market demand for the property. The marketing time for the appraised is based on a review of real estate sales, some of which are provided later in this report, together with conversations with brokers and other real estate professionals in the subject market. The estimated marketing time is estimated to be eighteen to twenty-four months based on current market conditions. Market conditions are considered favorable with reasonable interest rates and no financing concessions necessary.

The subject tract is located in Land Lots 86, 87, 106 and 107 of the 1st Land District of Butts County. The total site contains approximately 142.32 acres. It is identified by the Butts County Assessor’s Office as Parcel Numbers 0032023 & 0032024. Below is a copy of the plat.

Appraisal Objective and Property Rights The objective of this appraisal is to estimate the current fee simple market value of the real estate. Intended Use and Intended Users Per Standard Rule 1-2 of USPAP, the intended use and users of the appraisal must be stated. Bank of Coweta needs the market value of the Fee Simple Interest in the subject property for collateral evaluation purposes. The intended user of the report would be Bank of Coweta. All information contained within this report is confidential between the client and the undersigned appraiser(s). Any information contained in this report cannot be released to a third party without written permission from the client only.

Fletcher & Company 14 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

Statement of Ownership and Sales History Standards Rule 1-5 of USPAP requires an analysis of all agreements of sale, options, or listings, and at least a three-year sales history of the subject property. According to Butts County Deed Book 538 Pages 19-20, Caledonian Land Company purchased 142.32 acres from G & R Homes, Inc. on July 19, 2006 for $4,625,400. The subject tract has been sold in the last three years. G & R Homes purchased the subject tract from Douglas E. Briscoe on the same day, July 19, 2006, for $3,769,600. The tract has been exposed to the market over the past year by way of a sign on the subject tract and a listing with John Rucker of Rucker Company, a real estate firm, since July of 2006.

Fletcher & Company 15 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

The Scope of Work According to Advisory Opinion 28 of USPAP, an appraisal must “1) identify the problem to be solved; 2) determine and perform the scope of work necessary to develop credible assignment results; and 3) disclose the scope of work in the report.”1 The primary purpose of the appraisal is to meet the requirements of Title XI of the Federal Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (“FIRREA”) of 1989 with respect to real estate-related financial transactions as we understand these requirements. Bank of Coweta needs an appraisal to assist it with collateral valuation of the subject property. This Summary appraisal report covers the necessary collection and analysis of data, property inspections and the application of accepted approaches to value. This report sets forth the rationale, assumptions, conditions and significant facts upon which the final value is based. All of the generally accepted approaches to value have been considered within this report. The Sales Comparison is the only method applicable in the valuation of the subject tract. There are no improvements and no proposed improvements there for the Cost Approach in not applicable. There is no real potential for income from the vacant land therefore the Income Approach is not applicable. The following is a brief discussion of the various inspections and analysis and data collection and analysis considered and utilized in arriving at a conclusion of value. 1. An inspection and analysis of area and neighborhood factors which would have an impact on the subject property. 2. An inspection and analysis of the physical features of the subject property and any factors which would have a positive or negative influence on value. 3. Property consideration of the present zoning and a discussion of highest and best use of the subject. 4. The collection, analysis, and verification of market data considered pertinent to arriving at the value estimates made by the Sales Comparison, Cost and Income Approach (when applicable). 5. The value indications for the three approaches are then reconciled into a final estimate of value.

Description of Improvements: There is a brick home and a barn on the subject tract. Neither improvement lends any value to the land. The Home is poor shape. It appears as though the home may have been going through some renovations. The ceilings are caving in, many windows are broken or missing and there maybe some weather damage also. The house could be renovated but will need a lot of work.

AREA & NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW Introduction The purpose of this analysis is to review historic and projected economic and demographic data to determine whether Butts County and the subject neighborhood will experience future economic stability, or decline. The subject tract is located on GA Hwy 16 also known as West 3rd Street and on GA Hwy 23/42 within the city limits of Jackson in Butts County, Georgia. The immediate neighborhood consists of all types of developments including commercial, single-family residential, multi-family residential and scattered industrial developments. The subject tract is located west of the courthouse square in Jackson. GA Hwy 16 is the main east-west corridor through Butts County. GA Hwy 23/42, which is on the east portion of the subject tract, traverses to the north through the northeast portion of Butts County and on into the southern portion of Henry County and the cities of Locust Grove and McDonough. In summary the immediate neighborhood consists of commercial and multi-family development along major through fares and single-family residential developments along secondary and feeder roads. Population In 1990, Butts County’s population was 15,326; in 2000 the population had grown to 19,522, indicating a compound annual growth rate of 2.15% between 1990 and 2000. The year-end 2006 population estimate was 23,561 indicating a compound annual increase of 2.86% between 2000 and 2006. The following table illustrates historical population trends for Jackson, Butts County, and the State of Georgia.

Between 2000 and 2006, the population in Butts County grew at an estimated compound rate of 1.45%, while the State of Georgia grew at a rate of 1.95% for the same period. Given the recent compound increase in the population base for Butts County, the population growth trends foreshadow an inconsistent and unstable growth and economic trend into the foreseeable future. However, due to the growth of Henry County, which adjoins Butts

Fletcher & Company 25 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

County to the north development of residential and commercial property is expected to rise over the next five years in the county. Developer’s have already sought after Butts County for the next development “push” in the near future. The highest concentrated age group of the county’s inhabitants is between the ages of 35-54, or 31.9%. In terms of household size, at the end of 2005 the number of households stood at 6,455 in Butts County with an average household size of 2.73 persons and an average family size of 3.15 persons. A demographic profile for Butts County appears in the chart below.

As the year end 2005 statistics indicates that 42.9% of the households in Butts County earned over $50,000 per annum. As indicated in the table above, Butts County was below the State of Georgia in median household income.

Area Business and Related Economic Trends According to the US Census Bureau, the number of employed people in Butts County in 2005 was 8,114, resulting in an unemployment rate of 2.1%, or 325 persons. A comparison of the major components of the economic base for 2005 is presented in the table below.

In summary, the Metropolitan Atlanta economy continues to send mixed messages, which is reflective as the national economy as a whole. Unemployment rates for both Metro Atlanta and the state of Georgia have recently remained stable; however, as two automotive plants close, the Bellsouth/AT&T merger, and the fate of Delta Airlines and its attempt to restructure under bankruptcy protection, long-term economic predictions are not possible. These are major employers of not just the Atlanta area but suburban counties as well.

Neighborhood/Market Analysis Jackson has just started to experience an increase in residential development in the past 3 years. There have been tracts purchased in the area by real estate development companies for future site development. Commercial development is on the rise on Georgia Highway 16 in Jackson and near Interstate 75. There are plans for a new large mixed use development that will contain single family, multi-family, a shopping center, and commercial out parcels for restaurants and retail. Henry County is located north of the subject and is responsible for the upswing in residential development in Butts County. Henry County was recently ranked as one of the fastest growing counties in the state as well as the nation. Residential and commercial development appears to be stable into the foreseeable future due to the growth of the region. Supporting facilities such as shopping, schools, churches, area employment, and recreation are located in close proximity.

Highest and Best Use Highest and Best Use is a real estate valuation principle that dictates that the market trends to put property to its most profitable use, and that use which provides the greatest benefits of ownership. The Appraisal of Real Estate, 12th Edition, defines highest and best use as:

The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. Because the principle of highest and best use reflects the actions of the market, generally accepted professional appraisal practice requires that the subject property must be valued under this premise. If the property being appraised is improved with a structure, two highest and best use analyses are required; the highest and best use of the land as though vacant, and the highest and best use of the total property as developed. The highest and best use analysis is developed using the following four criteria. The highest and best use must be Legally Permissible, Physically Possible, Financially Feasible, and Maximally Productive. Land as Vacant

Physically Possible – As previously mentioned, the subject property contains

142.32 acres. Many uses would be physically possible including commercial, office, single-family residential, multi-family residential, industrial, service, or other compatible uses.

Legally Permissible – In estimating the highest and best use of a property,

the legally permissible uses are typically determined by the zoning constraints of the jurisdiction in which the property is located. The subject parcel is located within the city limits of Jackson in Butts County and is under this jurisdiction of the city of Jackson. The property has three zonings. 35.11 acres is zoned R-20, Single-Family Residential, 27.29 acres is zoned C2, Neighborhood Business District, and 79.92 acres is zoned RM, MultiFamily Residential. The subject is located in a neighborhood that is predominately composed of commercial and multi-family residential development along state highways and major intersections and single-family residential development along secondary and feeder roads. According to the City of Jackson Planning and Zoning Department, the subject’s current use as a vacant mixed-use tract is a legal and conforming use and is compatible with the surrounding land uses. For official zoning and allowances, a letter of permissible uses must be obtained from the City of Jackson’s Planning and Zoning Department.

Fletcher & Company 34 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

Financially Feasible and Maximally Productive Uses – After determining

which uses are physically possible and legally permissible, it is necessary to determine what potential uses are economically feasible. A use that produces an overall positive return, be it cash flow or return on investment, is economically feasible. From the list of economically feasible uses, the one use that produces the greatest return is chosen. This is the maximally productive use and, therefore, is the highest and best use of the property. This thought process could be described as a detailed process of elimination.

Maximally Productive – Of all the financially feasible uses, each use is

analyzed to determine which use will return the highest profit or which use will be the maximally productive use.

Highest and Best Use as Vacant – Of the available alternative uses that are

physically and legally acceptable, the best use for the subject site as is vacant would be to develop the site under the current zonings with commercial, multi-family and single-family developments.

Valuation

Fletcher & Company 36 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

The Valuation Process The valuation process is the orderly program in which data used to estimate the value of the subject property are acquired, classified, analyzed, and presented. The first step in the process is to define the appraisal problem, i.e., identify the real estate, the effective date of value estimate, the property rights being appraised, and the type of value sought. Once this has been accomplished, the Appraiser collects and analyzes the factors that affect the market value of the subject property. These factors are addressed in the area and neighborhood analysis, the site and improvement analysis, and the highest and best use analysis, and in the application of the three approaches to value: The sales comparison approach, the cost approach, and the income capitalization approach. The sales comparison approach is used to estimate the value of the land as though vacant and/or the property as improved. The Appraiser gathers data on sales of comparable properties and analyzes the nature and conditions of each sale, making logical adjustments for dissimilar characteristics. Typically, a common denominator is found. For land value, the unit of comparison is usually price per square foot or per acre. The second approach applied is the cost approach to value. Accrued depreciation is deducted from the new cost of the improvements and this figure is added to the land value to indicate the value of the whole property. The third approach applied is the income capitalization approach and is predicated on the assumption that a definite relationship exists between the amount of income a property can earn and its value. In other words, value is created by the expectation of benefits to be derived in the future. In this approach, the anticipated annual net income of the subject property is processed to produce an indication of value. Net income is the income generated before payment of any debt service. Income is converted into value through capitalization, in which net income is divided by a capitalization rate. Factors such as risk, time, interest on capital invested, and recapture of the depreciating assets are considered in selecting the capitalization rate. The final step in the valuation process is the reconciliation or correlation of the value indications. In the reconciliation, the Appraiser considers the relative applicability of each approach used, examines the ranger of the value indications, and gives most weight to the approach that appears to produce the most reliable solution to the appraisal problem. The purpose of the appraisal, the type property, and the adequacy and reliability of each approach to value are all taken into consideration. To apply the three approaches to value, information pertaining to the fair market value of the subject property must be derived from the market because the Appraiser seeks to anticipate the actions of buyers and sellers in the market.

Fletcher & Company 37 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

Approach to Value The Sales Comparison is applicable for the subject property and will be utilized to value the property. The Income Approach is considered to be not applicable due to the fact that the subject tract is vacant and has no potential for any real income. The Cost Approach is considered not to be applicable for the subject property since the land is vacant and proposed uses or buildings are not in the scope of work.

Explanation of Adjustments Cash Equivalency - All of the sales were cash or cash equivalency sales that did not require cash equivalent adjustments. Conditions of Sale – No condition of sale adjustments were made to the comparable sales. Market/Time - The time adjustment represents a dollar/percentage change (plus or minus) applied to the sale for appreciation and/or depreciation in land values within the area. The land sales range in date from February 2004 to March 2007. Adjustments for time of sale were warranted for sales 4, 5, 6 and 7. These sales occurred over one year ago but were used for their location and overall similarities. Appreciation must be taken into consideration also. Location - Location adjustments are made to comparable sales to recognize perceived value differences in relation to neighborhood influences, access to commercial services, location aesthetics, commercial density, overall exposure and visibility, and overall market demand. The subject and all of the comparable sales are located on state highways or just off state highways. Sale 2 is located in the northern portion of Butts County in a neighborhood of industrial uses and agricultural uses. This tract has less exposure to normal traffic flow and therefore required an upward adjustment for location. Sales 3, 4 and 6 are all located nearer to Interstate 75 which is considered superior to the subject due to the fact that the area near Interstate 75. Size - Smaller parcels tend to sell for higher prices per square foot than larger parcels due to a higher demand for smaller parcels. Sale 3 is larger than the subject tract and required an upward adjustment for this factor. Sales 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are all smaller than the subject and therefore required a downward adjustment. Shape - Tracts that may be irregular in shape in a way that limits the divisibility and/or overall utility will create a negative impact on value. Lots that are irregular in shape tend to be less desirable to the market. Sale 3 has limited frontage and is irregular in shape which is considered to have inferior shape compared to the subject and therefore required and upward adjustment. Zoning – The zoning dictates what type of improvements and uses are allowed within the site. If a tract has a zoning that significantly limits the use of the site, the tract is obviously worth less. On the other hand, if the zoning of the tract allows majority of commercial uses, the value is more. Sale 1 has both commercial and multi-family zonings but is considered comparable since the subject tract has three different zonings. The commercial zoning is considered

Fletcher & Company 40 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

superior to the mixed-use zoning and therefore required an upward adjustment for zoning. Available Utilities –If a tract does not have sewer available, the tract is limited in use since high water use businesses such as restaurants, carwashes, and large developments would not be allowed. By not having sewer, the density of the tract is also limited since septic drain fields will have to be installed causing less developable land. Sales 2, 3, 4 and 6 do not have sewer which is considered inferior to the subject and therefore these sales required upward adjustments for available utility. Access – The subject is located in the western portion of Jackson, GA along GA Highway 16 and Georgia Highway 23/42, which are major corridors through the western and northwester portion of the county. All sales except sale 3 have similar access from major thoroughfares that encompass its location. Sale 3 has frontage on I-75 though, but still required an adjustment for access. Sale 1 does not have direct access from GA Highway 16 and therefore has inferior access to the subject therefore this sale required an upward adjustment. Access to the property does not appear to be an inferior issue from either bound lane. Sales 2, 4, and 5 all have frontage on two road compare to one for the subject, this is considered superior in this case and therefore adjustments were made accordingly. Please note the preliminary plans of the subject tract have plans to build a new street that will be accessed from GA Highway 16 and will cause the subject tract to have two corner commercial lots which tend to sell at a higher price per acre, but this cannot be used since this road has yet to be built. Topography/Site Conditions – The topography of a tract can be crucial for a tract. If a tract has a steep grade or rolling topo, grading costs can multiply and therefore a developer could not pay the same for the land as other competing tracts to compensate for the additional grading costs. Site Conditions are also crucial for commercial development. Any low or flood areas could affect the density, parking, and building size that could be constructed for a development. A developer typically pays for the developable land of a site that has poor site conditions. The subject tract does have some flood plain but none on the subject commercial area. Sale 7 has a creek splitting the property in half therefore this sale required an adjustment for site conditions. Frontage/Divisibility - Frontage can make a significant difference in value. If a land tract has above average frontage and can be further subdivided into smaller tracts from existing road frontage with very little development costs, the value can be much higher. Also a tract with frontage on multiple roads is desirable due to access. The subject tract has the ability to be divided more times than Sales 1, 2, 3 and 7, this is considered inferior to the subject and therefore these sales require upward adjustments.

Fletcher & Company 41 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

Land Value Conclusion – Based on the sales above and giving consideration for location size, zoning, available utilities, topography, and frontage, the appraiser has concluded that a value of $50,000 per acre is appropriate for the subject tract, which is shown in the adjustment grid on the following page. The total value rendered for the subject land via Sales Comparison Approach is $1,365,000.

Market/Time - The time adjustment represents a dollar/percentage change (plus or minus) applied to the sale for appreciation and/or depreciation in land values within the area. The land sales range in date from July 2003 to June 2007. Adjustments for time of sale were warranted for sales 2, 3, 4, and 5. These sales occurred over one year ago but were used for their location and overall similarities. Due to the lack of multi-family land sales in Jackson and Butts County older sales were required in order to valuate the subject tract. Appreciation must also be taken into consideration. Location - Location adjustments are made to comparable sales to recognize perceived value differences in relation to neighborhood influences, access to commercial services, location aesthetics, commercial density, overall exposure and visibility, and overall market demand. The subject and all of the comparable sales are located on state highways or just off state highways. Sale 6 was the only sale that required a location adjustment and this was due to the fact that this sale is located in McDonough of Henry County which tends to sell at a higher per unit rate than the Jackson/Butts County area. Adjustments were made accordingly. Size - Smaller parcels tend to sell for higher prices per square foot than larger parcels due to a higher demand for smaller parcels. Sales 2, 3 and 5 are all smaller than the subject and therefore required downward adjustments for size. Shape - Tracts that may be irregular in shape in a way that limits the divisibility and/or overall utility will create a negative impact on value. Lots that are irregular in shape tend to be less desirable to the market. All the tracts have shape that is conducive to development and therefore no adjustments were required. Zoning – The zoning dictates what type of improvements and uses are allowed within the site. If a tract has a zoning that significantly limits the use of the site, the tract is obviously worth less. On the other hand, if the zoning of the tract allows majority of commercial uses, the value is more. Sale 1 has both commercial and multi-family zonings but is considered comparable since the subject tract has three different zonings. No adjustments were required for this sale. Sales 2, 3, 4 and 5 have zonings which allow for a little higher density,

Fletcher & Company 44 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

which is considered superior to the subject and therefore required a slight downward adjustment. Available Utilities –If a tract does not have sewer available, the tract is limited in use since high water use businesses such as restaurants, carwashes, and large developments would not be allowed. By not having sewer, the density of the tract is also limited since septic drain fields will have to be installed causing less developable land. All sales and the subject have access to all utilities and therefore no adjustments were required. Access – The subject is located in the western portion of Jackson, GA along GA Highway 16 and Georgia Highway 23/42, which are major corridors through the western and northwester portion of the county. The subject and sales 1 and 4 are located just off State or US Highways and are accessible from two to four lanes of traffic. Sales 2, 3, 5 and 6 are located on secondary street or feeder roads which is considered inferior access to the subject and therefore required slight upward adjustments for access. Topography/Site Conditions – The topography of a tract can be crucial for a tract. If a tract has a steep grade or rolling topo, grading costs can multiply and therefore a developer could not pay the same for the land as other competing tracts to compensate for the additional grading costs. Site Conditions are also crucial for commercial development. Any low or flood areas could affect the density, parking, and building size that could be constructed for a development. A developer typically pays for the developable land of a site that has poor site conditions. The subject multi-family zoned tract has a good portion of the tract in wetlands and therefore downward adjustments were required to all sales for site conditions and topography. Frontage/Divisibility - Frontage can make a significant difference in value. If a land tract has above average frontage and can be further subdivided into smaller tracts from existing road frontage with very little development costs, the value can be much higher. Also a tract with frontage on multiple roads is desirable due to access. All sales have similar frontage and divisibility and therefore no adjustments were needed. Land Value Conclusion – Based on the sales above and giving consideration for location size, zoning, available utilities, topography, and frontage, the appraiser has concluded that a value of $36,500 per acre is appropriate for the subject tract, which is shown in the adjustment grid on the following page. The total value rendered for the subject land via Sales Comparison Approach is $2,920,000.

Explanation of Adjustments Cash Equivalency - All of the sales were cash or cash equivalency sales that did not require cash equivalent adjustments. Conditions of Sale – No condition of sale adjustments were made to the comparable sales. Market/Time - The time adjustment represents a dollar/percentage change (plus or minus) applied to the sale for appreciation and/or depreciation in land values within the area. The land sales range in date from October 2004 to December 2006. Adjustments for time of sale were warranted for sales 2, 3 and 4. These sales occurred over one year ago but were used for their location and overall similarities. Appreciation must be taken into consideration also. Location - Location adjustments are made to comparable sales to recognize perceived value differences in relation to neighborhood influences, access to commercial services, location aesthetics, commercial density, overall exposure and visibility, and overall market demand. The subject and sales 1 and 5 are located on or just off state highways. Sale 2 is located near the intersection of Interstate 75, where the development has been strongest in the counties to the north and therefore will most likely be the strongest in the future in Butts County. Due to this fact the location of Sale 1 is considered superior to therefore required a slight downward adjustment for location. Sales 3 and 4 are located north of Jackson in areas considered to be rural. This is considered inferior location to the subject and therefore these sales required slight upward adjustments. Size - Smaller parcels tend to sell for higher prices per square foot than larger parcels due to a higher demand for smaller parcels. Sales 2 and 3 are larger than the subject and therefore must be adjusted upward for size. Shape - Tracts that may be irregular in shape in a way that limits the divisibility and/or overall utility will create a negative impact on value. Tracts that are irregular in shape tend to be less desirable to the market. All sales have shape that are conducive to development and therefore no adjustments were needed. Zoning – The zoning dictates what type of improvements and uses are allowed within the site. If a tract has a zoning that significantly limits the use of the site, the tract is obviously worth less. On the other hand, if the zoning of the tract allows majority of commercial uses, the value is more. Sale 1 has both commercial and multi-family zonings but is considered comparable since the subject tract has three different zonings. The commercial and multi-family

Fletcher & Company 47 Real Estate Appraisals & Consultation

zonings are considered superior to the single-family zoning and therefore required an downward adjustment for zoning. Available Utilities –If a tract does not have sewer available, the tract is limited in use since high water use businesses such as restaurants, carwashes, and large developments would not be allowed. By not having sewer, the density of the tract is also limited since septic drain fields will have to be installed causing less developable land. Sales 2, 4 and 5 do not have sewer which is considered inferior to the subject and therefore these sales required upward adjustments for available utility. Access – The subject is located in the western portion of Jackson, GA along GA Highway 16 and Georgia Highway 23/42, which are major corridors through the western and northwester portion of the county. Sales 3 and 4 are located on feeder roads or secondary roads and the subject is located on a state highways. The subject’s access is considered superior to these sales and therefore these sales required upward adjustments for access. Topography/Site Conditions – The topography of a tract can be crucial for a tract. If a tract has a steep grade or rolling topo, grading costs can multiply and therefore a developer could not pay the same for the land as other competing tracts to compensate for the additional grading costs. Site Conditions are also crucial for commercial development. Any low or flood areas could affect the density, parking, and building size that could be constructed for a development. A developer typically pays for the developable land of a site that has poor site conditions. The subject has some flood areas which will be developed around but these areas take away from the overall density. Therefore all the sales have been adjusted accordingly to these conditions. Frontage/Divisibility - Frontage can make a significant difference in value. If a land tract has above average frontage and can be further subdivided into smaller tracts from existing road frontage with very little development costs, the value can be much higher. Also a tract with frontage on multiple roads is desirable due to access. All sales have similar frontage and divisibility and therefore no adjustments were required. Land Value Conclusion – Based on the sales above and giving consideration for location size, zoning, available utilities, topography, and frontage, the appraiser has concluded that a value of $18,500 per acre is appropriate for the subject tract, which is shown in the adjustment grid on the following page. The total value rendered for the subject land via Sales Comparison Approach is $650,000.

INCOME APPROACH Based on the supporting data presented in the foregoing section, the following discounted cash flow analysis illustrates a 10% cash flow chart with an estimated 18 month sell-out period. The sell out period is based on the absorption rate of other similar properties within the same market.

The present value that has been rendered for the subject tract is based on 100% completion. The prospective date for the present value of the subject tract is November 1, 2007. Of the tracts surveyed the average time on the market from the listing date to the date of the sale is 327 days. The tracts surveyed sold over the past two years. The market has slowed since the times of the sales and the appraiser has concluded that the subject tract will take approximately 18 months to sell. Discount Rate: The Discount Rate represents the investor’s opinion of time value of his investment given the risk associated with the investment. The rate also reflects the appraiser’s judgment about all risks, which are associated with the periodic cash flows over the absorption or sales period. These risks include “real” interest rate, estimate of the impact of inflation, estimate of the stability of the periodic cash flows, and an estimate of the liquidity risk associated with market conditions at the date of resale. In arriving at an appropriate discount rate for the proposed property, the appraiser has considered the following: “Real Interest Rate”: Estimate for Inflation: Estimate for Security: Illiquidity:

3% to 3.5% 4% to 5% 2% to 5% 1% to 2%

An overall built-up rate implies a yield rate between 10% and 15.5%. Considering the risk associated with the subject property and based on current market conditions, a discount rate of 10% is selected.

The Sales Comparison Approach is generally the most reliable indicator of value since it typically reflects actions of buyers and sellers in the market place, especially in an active market. The Cost Approach is more reliable when appraising new construction or special purpose properties as to the highest and best use and for feasibility. The Income Approach is the most basic of the three approaches and is normally the starting point for the developer or lender. The Income Approach is considered a reliable indication of value since the typical investor in this type property is concerned with the income producing aspect. Conclusion: Consideration was given to both the Sales Comparison and Income approaches; however, I relied more on the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis or Income Approach as it takes into account the current demand in the market, discount rate and absorption period. As of October 23, 2007 it is my opinion that the Market Value with Fee Simple Interest in the subject property is as follows: Four Million Three Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($4,325,000)
