- The inspection completed by the writer would confirm that overall the property is in generally average to good condition featuring some upgrades completed to a small number of suites including upgraded paint, flooring and newer appliances. - At the Inspection Date the writer observed some deferred maintenance pertaining to damaged and stained common area carpet flooring. Discussions with the property management indicated that a work order has been submitted for flooring replacement which is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2014. - The roofs were not inspected by the writer and are assumed to be in good working condition. - In addition, the property exhibits upgraded hot water tanks and various newer windows. - Overall, an Effective Age of approximately 30 years is considered appropriate, resulting in a remaining economic lifespan estimated at approximately 35 years. This assumes that major structural items will be maintained and replaced as needed as the property ages.

- Site improvements are basic and would include mature landscaping, paved parking, shed, light poles, and concrete walks.

DEFINITION OF THE APPRAISAL PROBLEM SCOPE OF APPRAISAL The basic purpose in undertaking this valuation analysis is to provide an estimate of the market value of the herein described real property, as of the date specified. The basic function in completing the report is to provide an estimate of value which can be utilized to aid in obtaining mortgage financing. Pawel Martyniak, B. Comm., AACI is the author of this report, with the property being inspected by Pawel Martyniak on the date specified. LEGAL DESCRIPTION The property under analysis is legally described as follows: LOT 1A BLOCK 42 PLAN 812 3043 LA PERLE EXCEPTING THEREOUT ALL MINES AND MINERALS The property is municipally located 18104 – 95th Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED Property rights are generally considered under three common types although there are others:

• Fee Simple Estate - The most complete interest in real property, subject to the powers reserved to the state (taxation, escheat, eminent domain, and police power). This would be the situation for most owner occupied properties.

• Leased Fee Estate - This is simply the fee simple interest encumbered by a lease. This can be referred to as the Lessor’s or Landlord’s interest. If the lease is at market rent, then the leased fee interest and the fee simple interest are equal. However, if the tenant pays more or less than a market rent, the residual owned by the leased fee holder, plus the market value of the tenancy, may be more or less than the fee simple interest or value.

• Leasehold Estate - The interest held by a tenant. If the tenant pays market rent, then the leasehold has no market value. However, if the tenant pays less than market, the difference between the present value of what is paid and the present value of market rents would be a positive leasehold value.

The property rights being appraised within this analysis are those of the “Fee Simple Estate”. EFFECTIVE DATE OF APPRAISAL The Effective Date of the analysis coincides with the Date of Inspection, that being September 22nd, 2014. APPRAISAL DEVELOPMENT & REPORTING PROCESS In conducting the valuation analysis for the subject, the property was physically inspected upon the date noted. This involved a complete exterior inspection as well as an interior inspection of all common areas and 25 suites. A current Rent Roll detailing rents for September 2014 was provided. Financial statements detailing revenues and expenses for the subject property for 2012, 2013 and for a 12 month period ending August 31st, 2014 were also provided. A current copy of the Certificate of Title was obtained from Alberta Land Titles. Assessment and tax information was provided by the City of Edmonton. A rent/vacancy survey in the subject neighborhood was also completed by the writer. The following document has been prepared in accordance with the Codes of Ethics and Standards of Professional Practice of the Appraisal Institute of Canada and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP). According to the Standards, this appraisal has been prepared in the Narrative Reporting Format. No Departures from the Standards were invoked.

This represents an amended appraisal report with minor alterations made to the expense analysis with no changes made to market value conclusions. MARKET VALUE DEFINED

For the purposes of this report, the term “market value” is defined as follows:

“The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress.”*

Cowan & Associates

Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each 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 Canadian dollars or in terms of financial

arrangement comparable thereto; 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.

EXPOSURE TIME A reasonable sale period for the subject property is estimated at six months. It is assumed that the subject property is exposed to the market for this period of time prior to the Effective Date.

LaPerle Edmonton

• Reference to the above charts confirms a number of key factors, which are summarized as follows:

Of the approximate 2,025 private dwellings in La Perle, approximately

49% represent single detached housing in comparison to the City average of 50%. 22% represent apartments, primarily low rise of less than five storeys which mirrors the City average of 23%.

Approximately 64% of dwellings are owned with 30% of the population renting. Relative to the City this represents a higher percentage of owners’ verses renters.

The above statistics regarding the La Perle Area Profile confirm a well-

developed district featuring a resident profile which entails similar levels of income relative to the city average and a higher percentage of owners verses renters.

Located in west Edmonton, just south of Stony Plain Road, the La Perle neighbourhood is an even mix of single and multi-unit dwellings, and

features several large parks, a shopping centre and easy access to the many commercial and entertainment services at nearby West Edmonton Mall.

• Single family dwellings represent the dominant development form. Of note, the neighbourhood also features fairly extensive multi-family development, including townhouses and walk-up apartments. La Perle Community League is oriented on the west portion of the neighbourhood

• Institutional land uses includes one educational facility, La Perle Elementary, oriented within the neighbourhood. Shopping is provided along 170th Street and 178th Street including West Edmonton Mall.

• The neighbourhood is provided excellent access via 170th Street, 178th Street and 95th Avenue which represent arterial roadways. These roadways also provide direct access throughout the westerly areas of the city and to central Edmonton.

• The neighbourhood is essentially built out, with the exception of a large recreational open space located around La Perle’s elementary school and community league.

• Properties in La Perle are provided full municipal servicing with the cost of servicing generally fully paid.

In summary, the subject property is well located within a mature, primarily residential

district referred to as La Perle in west Edmonton. The writers are of the opinion that the neighbourhood exhibits the following features:

DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF SUBJECT IMPROVEMENTS The following description and analysis of the subject improvements is based on a personal inspection completed on September 22nd, 2014. This involved a complete exterior inspection as well as an interior inspection of common areas and 25 suites. To aid in visualizing the improvements, the reader is referred to the photographs of the subject property included in the Addenda. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION • 120 unit, four building walk-up apartment complex. • Three storey design. Two buildings exhibit 36 suites each with the other two

exhibiting 24 suites each. • The subject exhibits the following suite mix and average suite sizes (As

measured by the writer. The writer is not a surveyor however the average sizes are reasonable and assumed correct):

Suite Type No. of Units Suite Size

Bachelor 56

430 sq. ft.

510 sq. ft.

One Bedroom 20

620 sq. ft.

675 sq. ft.

• In general, suites within the subject are deemed average in size in the area. Of

note, the subject property is located within west Edmonton suburban neighbourhood. Typically, apartment buildings located within suburban neighbourhoods tend to target couples and families and therefore feature larger suites involving primarily one, two or three bedroom suites. Lesser demand is typically evident for bachelor suites in suburban areas relative to central locations. Given the suite mix in place involving 50% bachelor suites, the subject property represents a unique investment, which may provide some level of risk. It is noted however that the subject is currently fully occupied and represents the only complex in the area exhibiting suite mix involving large number of bachelor units. Furthermore, given the location in close proximity to West Edmonton Mall, the bachelor suites represent an affordable and attractive accommodation type for mall employees.

• All units feature two appliances (stove and fridge). • The upper floor one bedroom suites within the subject exhibit heated enclosed

sunrooms which are a part of the suite and the building (not a balcony).

HIGHEST AND BEST USE The concept of “Highest and Best Use” was defined in the 1975 edition of the publication “Real Estate Appraisal Terminology” as follows: “That reasonable and probable use which will support the highest present

value, as defined, as of the Effective Date of the appraisal.” “Alternatively, that use, from among reasonably probable and legal

alternative uses, found to be physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and which results in the highest value.”

The definition immediately above applies specifically to the highest and best use of land. It is to be recognized that in cases where a site has existing improvements on it, the highest and best use may very well be determined to be different from the existing use. The existing use will continue however, unless and until land value in its highest and best use exceeds the total value of the property in its existing use. Implied within these definitions is recognition of the contribution that a specific use has to community environment or to community development goals in addition to wealth maximization of individual property owners. Also implied is that the determination of highest and best use results from the appraiser’s judgment and analytical skill, i.e. that the use determined from analysis represents an opinion, not a fact to be found. In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use represents the premise upon which value is based. In a context of most probable selling price (market value) another appropriate term to reflect highest and best use would be most probable use. In the context of investment value an alternative term would be “most profitable use”. In the confines of any study regarding highest and best use, it is to be emphasized that at all times it is the “market” which determines the use to which a property will be ultimately employed. Any analysis of highest and best use will therefore focus on the analyst’s interpretations or predictions as to how the market will respond to any one property. Under typical circumstances, the analysis of highest and best use commences with the review of the site as if vacant however, in this instance, the development is obviously of significant contributory value and it would be an academic exercise at best to disregard these improvements. As such, the analysis of highest and best use will focus on the property as developed. • The subject property is located in a mature residential district in west

Edmonton known as La Perle. Due to the maturity of the neighbourhood, all amenities regarding educational, shopping and employment opportunities as well as convenient access to these amenities are provided to neighbourhood residents. Conformity to existing land use patterns is noted.

• The current use is permitted under the existing bylaw.

• The subject property represents a 120 unit, four low rise apartment building complex developed on a single site and operated as one complex. As detailed in the Improvements Description section, the subject property exhibits a basic/conventional design, is deemed in average condition overall as at the current date.

• Land values are not to the point where any redevelopment of the site would be contemplated over the foreseeable future.

• In the event that the subject site was vacant, an optimum use would represent a development site appropriate for a low density multi-family project which would conform to the bylaw and to land use patterns in the area. No significant holding period would be evident.

The analysis conducted confirms that a continuation of the existing program of utilization as a multi-family project would be representative of the highest and best use to which the property could be put.

APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY The appraisal process is an orderly program in which the data used to estimate the value of the subject property is acquired, classified, analyzed and presented. The first step of the process is to define the appraisal problem. Once this has been accomplished, the assembly and analysis of those factors that will have a bearing on the market value of the subject property can be undertaken. Generally, there are three basic approaches to value which can be applied, these being the Cost Approach, Income Approach and Direct Comparison Approach. The Cost Approach will not be developed within the context of this report. Cost and value are not necessarily synonymous and this becomes particularly evident when one gives consideration of the variance between the cost to produce a project for rental purposes and the market rents which can be obtained. As such, the Cost Approach would not provide a meaningful indication of value. The subject property has historically been operated to generate investment income. Accordingly, the Income Approach represents a key valuation technique and will be developed in detail within this report. Both the Direct Capitalization Approach and a Gross Income Multiplier technique will be applied to arrive at a value by means of the Income Approach. The Direct Comparison Approach will be completed primarily as a reference technique keying on the per suite value which can be accorded the subject property. Interrelated with this figure is the average net rent created by the asset and whether or not this income is considered to have the potential of altering over the foreseeable future. Direct Comparison, in regards to the multi-family market, does tend to be a rough “rule of thumb” check, though substantiation is provided to the value estimate derived by means of the Income Approach. In summary, two approaches to value will be completed, commencing with the Income Approach.

INCOME APPROACH The basic theory of the Income Approach to value is that the value of a given property is the present worth of all the net income that the property will produce for each year of its remaining useful life. While income by itself does not constitute value, it does serve as a measure of value. The basic steps to follow in the Income Approach are detailed as follows: 1. Estimate the total annual gross income that the property is capable of

producing less allowances for future vacancies and bad debts. 2. Estimate the total annual operating expenses. 3. Calculate the net annual operating income. 4. Utilizing a suitable procedure, convert the anticipated net annual income

stream into an indication of the capital value of the property. The subject property has historically been operated as an investment vehicle and a continuation of this use coincides with the highest and best use of the property. Accordingly, the Income Approach represents a key indicator of value. Development of the approach involves two basic steps, the first of which represents the projection of an accurate and well supported estimate of income. The second step involves a process of discounting the income expectancies to a present worth estimate, being referred to as “Direct Capitalization” and “Gross Income Multiplier Analysis”. The approach will commence with the development of a “Base Year” projection of income and expenses for the property as at the Date of Inspection. This will essentially involve a one year period commencing with the Effective Date of this report. ESTIMATE OF GROSS INCOME The majority of revenues generated within the subject property relate to suite rental revenue. Additional income is also provided via laundry facilities leased by the building. Basically, a two part analysis will be undertaken to estimate the gross annual income producing capabilities of the subject property. Initially consideration will be given to current rents as well as rents being achieved in competing, projects in the immediate vicinity.

Residential Rents The writer has been provided September 2014 Rent Roll for the subject property. The reader is referred to the Rent Roll, identified as Exhibit E in the Addenda. The current rents are summarized as follows:

• As at the Effective Date, the subject exhibited one vacant suite. Discussions with

the on-site management indicated that this unit was already rented with the new tenant moving in the following week.

• Typical to the market, rents are inclusive of heat and water. • One energized parking stall per suite is also provided as a component of the rent.

Rental Market Overview

To aid in ascertaining whether the current rents within the subject are in line with market trends, a survey of similar quality low rise apartment projects in vicinity of the subject property has been completed. Initially, the writer surveyed buildings located in the vicinity of the subject property, west of 170th Street. However, a limited number of buildings located west of 170th Street feature bachelor suites. Hence, the writer expanded the survey to include buildings located east of 170th Street, within neighbourhoods historically deemed less desirable (older construction, lower average net income) relative to the subject location. The reader is referred to Exhibit F in the Addenda of this report which includes the results of the survey completed in September 2014. The results are summarized as follows:

Survey Range Majority Subject

Bachelor $750.00 - $1,039.00 $895.00 – $1,039.00 $785.00 - $900.00

One Bedroom $900.00 - $1,225.00 $950.00 – $1,159.00 $900.00 - $1,050.00

One Bedroom Suites The subject property features 60 one bedroom suites which exhibit a basic and

functional floor plan and an average size varying between 620 square feet and 675 square feet which is considered average below average in the area.

As noted, suites in the subject are deemed in generally average condition featuring some upgrades completed to a small number of units including fresh paint, newer appliances, flooring, and some bathroom upgrades, etc.

Cowan & Associates

One bedroom suites in the subject property are currently achieving rents of $900.00 to $1,050.00 per month. In addition, the current asking rents for subject one bedroom suites are $1,050.00 per month.

The writer’s survey has indicated a wide range in one bedroom rents being achieved in competing buildings within surrounding neighbourhoods, varying from $900.00 to $1,225.00 per month with the majority varying between $950.00 and $1,159.00 per month. Of note, these represent new asking rents for the surveyed properties and likely do not reflect all existing rental rates being achieved within these projects.

The upper end of the range has been set by larger scale projects featuring renovated larger size units, three appliances per suite, balconies/patios, and common area amenities including pools, fitness rooms, recreation rooms, etc., factors which place upward pressure on the achievable rental rates.

Furthermore, reference is also drawn to the Second Quarter Edmonton Multi-family Market View completed by CB Richard Ellis. The report indicates average one bedroom rents in West Jasper Place Area, in which the subject is located, at approximately $1,183.00 per month

Overall, given the size and condition of the subject one bedroom suites rents toward the median of the range indicated by the surveyed buildings are deemed appropriate, varying between approximately $1,000.00 and $1,050.00 per month.

Relative to the market, the majority of existing one bedroom rents in the subject are considered to fall in line with current market levels with a number of rents falling toward the lower end of market.

Bachelor Suites

The subject property features 60 bachelor suites which exhibit a basic and functional floor plan and an average size of approximately 430 to 510 square feet which is deemed average to below average in the area.

Reference to the subject Rent Roll indicates that the subject bachelor units are achieving rents effective September 2014 of $785.00 to $900.00 per month. In addition, the current asking rents for subject bachelor suites are $895.00 to $925.00 per month.

As previously discussed, the survey completed by the writer indicated a limited number of buildings featuring bachelor suites in the vicinity of the subject. Accordingly, the writer expanded the survey to include buildings located east of 170th Street, within neighbourhoods historically less desirable (older construction, lower average net income) relative to the subject location.

The writer’s survey has indicated bachelor rents varying from $750.00 to $1,039.00 per month, with the majority varying between approximately $900.00 and $1,039.00 per month.

Much of the discussion regarding one bedroom rents for the subject property and the buildings surveyed is applicable for the bachelor rents as well.

The upper end of the range has been set by Indicators #4 and #6. These properties are located in the vicinity of the subject, west of 170th Street, exhibit larger size units, three appliances per suite and common area amenities. Lower rental rates for the subject units would apply.

Furthermore, reference is again drawn to the Second Quarter Edmonton Multi-family Market View completed by CB Richard Ellis. The report indicates average bachelor rents in West Jasper Place Area, in which the subject is located, at approximately $984.00 per month.

Overall, the size and condition of subject bachelor units would suggest rental rates toward the median of the range indicated by the surveyed bachelor suites, varying between approximately $875.00 and $925.00 per month.

Relative to the market, approximately half of existing bachelor rents in the subject are considered to fall in line with the current market levels with rents for the remaining units falling toward the lower end of market.

Conclusions

The writer has estimated the following market rents:

Based on the above analysis the writer has concluded that the majority of actual rents

within the subject property are deemed to fall generally in line with current market levels with some rents considered to fall toward the lower end of market. Within this analysis, the writer will utilize the actual September 2014 rents within the subject though an adjustment will be made, later within this report, when choosing an appropriate capitalization rate, in order to recognize the potential to increase the lower end rents. Overall, based on the actual September 2014 rents for the subject property as detailed in this section in conjunction with utilizing a stabilized market level rent for the office suite; the

Base Year Gross Rental Revenue for the subject is projected at $110,280.00 per month, $1,323,360.00 per annum. Laundry Revenue

As discussed, the subject property exhibits leased laundry machines. Financial statements provided to the writer indicate historic net laundry revenues varying between approximately $5.25 and $8.68 per unit per month. The typical range for net laundry revenue in projects, similar to the subject and with leased machines, is between $10.00 and $25.00 per suite per month. The actual revenue falls below typical. In recognizing the suite mix in place, actual revenues and the leased machines, a stabilized figure of approximately $8.00 per suite per month will be utilized in this analysis, resulting in the Base Year laundry revenue estimated at $11,520.00. VACANCY AND COLLECTION LOSS ANALYSIS Allowances for vacancy and collection loss relate to periodic vacancies within the complex, potential rental abatements, collection loss problems, etc. Typically, this is expressed as a percentage of gross income. Relative to the situation at hand, the writer is developing a “Base Year” Income and Expense Proforma. Accordingly, the allowance to be selected for vacancy and collection loss would be considered representative of the projected vacancies and actual bad debt problems that will occur during the same time frame.

• As at the Effective Date, the subject exhibited one vacant suite. Discussions with the on-site management indicated that this unit was already rented with the new tenant moving in the following week.

Reference is made to the CMHC Apartment Vacancy Survey. This represents an annual survey completed which is referenced widely in the industry. The most recent survey was completed in October of 2013 and is considered dated. The results of the survey relative the subject property is as follows:

The October 2013 survey has indicated a decrease in the city-wide vacancy level to 1.4% from 1.7% in 2012 and 3.3%in 2011. The vacancy in Zone 6, in which the subject is located, was 1.1%, up from the previous year of 0.6%.

In addition, CMHC has also completed a less detailed survey in spring 2014 which indicates a decrease in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area vacancy level to 1.4%.

Furthermore, reference is also drawn to the Second Quarter Edmonton Multi-family Market View completed by CB Richard Ellis. The report indicates vacancy level in West Japer Park Area, in which the subject is located, at 0.8%.

Reference is also made to the writer’s survey of competing properties discussed previously in the Rental Market Overview section of this report and also included for the readers review in Addenda Exhibit F. The survey indicated a limited number of vacant units.

Based on the preceding analysis, the writer has concluded that a stabilized Vacancy and Collection Loss allowance for the Base Year of 2.5% is appropriate. This is higher than evident for the property though is appropriate. This also reflects the potential for fluctuations in the local economy over an investment horizon. EXPENSE ANALYSIS

Operating expenses refer to those costs necessary to maintain a continuing flow of gross income and primarily relate to the maintenance of the land, the improvements, equipment, as well as labor, services and management fees. The basic premise of the valuation is to assume a sale of the subject property on the open market as at the Effective Date. Two general types of purchasers are evident in the market for this property type involving larger investors seeking to add the subject property to a substantial portfolio and alternatively a mid to smaller scale investment group seeking to operate the project alone or in conjunction with a smaller number of properties. Larger scale investors operating substantial portfolios will benefit from various economies of scale with regard to management costs, repairs and maintenance, advertising, insurance, etc. These economies of scale are not necessarily available to those operators which are not managing a substantial number of apartment suites. For the purposes of the analysis it is the operating expenses incurred by a “typical” purchaser which will be projected for the Base Year, rather than the reduced expenses which may result from the inclusion of the subject property in a larger portfolio. The nature of the expenses projected however, must be recognized in the selection of an appropriate capitalization rate for conversion of the Base Year, Net Operating Income into an expression of market value.

In projecting operating expenses for the subject property through the Base Year, the writer has made reference to the financial statements detailing revenues and expenses for the subject property for 2012 and 2013 as well as for a 12 month period ending August 31st, 2014, industry standards as well as the writer’s experience in analyzing actual revenue and expense statements on similar properties, the expense items will be discussed on a separate basis below: • The 2014 actual property tax levy is approximately $111,280.00. It is

reasonable to project this figure for the analysis being completed. • The industry wide average for insurance costs tends to fall between $150.00

and $350.00 per unit per annum. Overall, in referencing actual and typical insurance costs, a figure towards the lower end of the typical range, or $175.00 per unit, will be applied.

• The industry wide average for utility expense tends to fall between $1,000.00 and $1,400.00 per unit per year. Reference to the financial statements indicates utility costs varying between approximately $1,095.00 and $1,210.00 per unit per annum. The historic utility costs fall in line with the typical range. In recognizing the suite mix in place and condition of the subject property, as well as the actual costs, a stabilized utilities expense of approximately $1,150.00 per unit will be projected.

• The subject improvements are deemed in generally average condition having been reasonably well maintained. The research completed by the writer, which includes a review of actual costs for numerous projects and discussions with real estate management companies, indicated industry wide average for repairs and maintenance expense for similar property types varying between approximately $600.00 and $1,000.00 per unit per annum. Of note, repairs and

Cowan & Associates

maintenance costs tend to fluctuate every year depending on repairs and replacements incurred in a given year. Overall, given the age, design and condition of the property, an expense toward the median to upper end of the typical range or $850.00 per unit has been projected.

• On-site administration relates to the expenses incurred in order to operate a project of this magnitude. This includes the showing of suites, dealing with tenant concerns, reporting to management, etc. For the purposes of this review, and in recognizing the number of suites, a figure toward the median to upper end of the typical range of $45.00 per suite per month will be utilized.

• Management costs are based on a percentage of the Effective Gross Income. The size and scale of the subject development, the revenues being achieved and finally the nature of the property management industry all suggests that a median level management allowance be incorporated into the calculations. A 4.0% allowance is therefore being utilized which recognizes the medium size of the project.

• Advertising and miscellaneous costs have been based on typical ratios given the size and scale of the project. Given current occupancy of the subject property, the large size of the project and the location characteristics, an advertising and miscellaneous expense of approximately $100.00 per suite per annum has been incorporated.

• Total annual expenses are therefore indicated at $4,176.00 per unit or 38.50% of the Effective Gross Income based on the actual rents in place detailed previously. Overall, the projected expenses are considered to fall in line with typical expenses in the market.

The Base Year Income and Expense Proforma is presented as follows:

CAPITALIZATION TECHNIQUES The process of discounting income expectancies to a present worth estimate is referred to as “capitalization”. This present worth estimate, the result of the capitalization process, is the amount that a prudent, typically informed investor would be willing to pay at a fixed point in time for the right to receive the income stream produced by a particular property. Appraisal methodology has several techniques available to measure the relationship between income and value. The most logical purchaser for a property the nature of the subject would involve a locally based investor. A review of the investment criteria typically applied by such investors’ highlights that a majority of properties are being acquired on the basis of an analysis of capitalization rates in conjunction with cash flow yields. That is, investors are acquiring properties based on capitalization rates that are in line with alternate buying behavior within market, provided that this rate will allow the investor to maintain an adequate cash flow yield. This in turn will form the basis for analysis of the subject property. The basis of Capitalization Rate Analysis involves the extracting of ratios between the Net Operating Income which a property was producing as at the date of sale to the market selling price. This technique is one of the most basic forms of capitalization and is a derivative of the Comparative Method or, Direct Sales Comparison Approach. Typically, the resulting ratio which is extracted is referred to as a “current earnings ratio”. Traditionally, capitalization rates have represented the relationship between the current net operating income of a property and its market value. This relationship does not imply that the current net earnings are expected to remain the same throughout the tenure of ownership, for the fact of the matter is that they could very likely rise or fall in the same way that gross earnings fluctuate with changing market conditions. What is significant about current earnings ratios is that it is the current earnings that are being utilized as the unit of comparison simply because they are known and can be estimated with relative certainty. If the future performance of a property is expected to rise or fall below the norm, the capitalization rate will be modified accordingly, and when applied to the amount of current earnings, will provide an appropriate indication of value. This analysis will concentrate on “Going In” Capitalization Rates. A “Going In” Capitalization Rate is simply derived by contrasting the income which the property is capable of producing for the initial year of ownership to the sale price. In selecting sales data for comparison with the subject, consideration has been given to the most recent transactions having occurred in the market as well as those sales reflecting similarity on the basis of scale of investment and positive location or physical characteristics. At this point, the sales selected for analysis will be presented:

Research by the writer has focused on acquisitions of larger scale low rise

apartment complexes located in similar rental areas as the subject. The comparable sales involve properties constructed between 1966 and 1980; the subject building was constructed in 1978.

In the following section, various adjustments required to equate the comparable sales with the subject site will be detailed including the sale date, location, age, condition, etc.

The comparable sales have indicated a narrow range in capitalization rates varying from 5.61% to 6.03% based on stabilized rents. The comparable sales are being analyzed on a stabilized basis (involving stabilized market level rents based on local area rental market surveys) to allow for direct comparison with the subject which is being analyzed based on actual September 2014 rents, majority of which are deemed to fall in line with current market with some rents considered to fall toward the lower end of market.

The variance between the capitalization rates based on actual versus stabilized net income reflects the magnitude, if any, of the perceived potential to increase actual rents to market levels. The lower the actual rents the greater the upside potential and therefore the greater the variance between the 2 capitalization rates calculated for any given sale. When actual rents are deemed in line with market levels, the 2 capitalization rates are the same. Based on actual rents in place the comparables sales have indicated a range in capitalization rates varying from 3.99% to 5.70%.

The subject property was built in 1978 and is deemed in generally average condition having been reasonably well maintained with a regular maintenance

program clearly evident. A review of the comparable sales indicates that majority are considered in similar or superior condition relative to the subject.

Indices #1 and #2 with capitalization rates of 5.70% and 6.03%, on stabilized rents, 5.70% and 4.52% on actual, represent sales of medium to larger scale (71 and 75 units) low rise apartment projects located in north Edmonton, within similar areas as the subject location. These properties were built in 1976 and 1980, exhibit wood frame construction, elevator access, a mixture of one, two and three bedroom units and were deemed in generally average to good condition as of their respective sale dates.

Index #3 with a capitalization rate based on stabilized rents of 5.61%, 4.52% on actual rents, represents the sale of a 156 unit low rise apartment complex located in southwest Edmonton, an area deemed more desirable and attractive relative to the subject location. The property was built in 1980, exhibits a mixture of one and two bedroom units, surface parking, and extensive common area amenities including a recreation centre, sauna, elevators, and an outdoor pool. Of note, discussions with the purchaser indicated that favourable vendor take back financing has placed downward pressure on the achievable capitalization. Overall, a higher capitalization rate for the subject property would apply.

Index #4 involves the sale of a 5 building portfolio located throughout north central Edmonton neighbourhoods. The individual buildings exhibit 1960’s and 70’s construction and are reported in generally average to good condition. Modest upside potential is evident to the existing rents resulting in a capitalization rate of 5.52%.

Index #5 with a capitalization rate of 5.66% on actual/stabilized rents, represents the recent sale of a larger scale (91 units) apartment complex located in south east Edmonton, within a similar profile area as the subject location. The property was built in 1978, exhibits primarily one bedroom units, and is deemed in generally average to good condition. Actual rents in place within this property are considered generally in line with market with some modest upside potential evident.

Index #6 with a capitalization rate of 5.78% on stabilized rents, 3.99% on actual, represents the recent sale of a larger scale (91 units) apartment complex located in south west Edmonton, within a more attractive area relative to the subject location. The property was built in 1973, exhibits bachelor, one, two and three bedroom units, and was deemed in generally average to good condition as of the sale date.

In concluding as to an appropriate capitalization rate for application to the Base Year Net Operating Income, the following factors have been consideration:

• The subject property exhibits a good residential location within west Edmonton, enjoying adequate access to numerous employment areas throughout the City of Edmonton and to shopping, education and recreation amenities in the surrounding district.

• The subject property was built in 1978 and is deemed in generally average condition having been well maintained. As discussed, the property is located within west Edmonton suburban neighbourhood. Typically, apartment buildings located within suburban neighbourhoods tend to target couples and families and therefore feature larger suites involving at least one, two or three bedroom suites. Given the suite mix in place involving 50% bachelor suites, the subject property represents a unique investment, which may provide some level of risk. It is noted however, that the subject is currently fully occupied and represents the only complex in the area exhibiting suite mix involving large number of bachelor units.

• The majority of September 2014 rents within the subject are considered to fall in line with current market levels with some rents considered to fall toward the lower end of market. Within this analysis, actual September 2014 rents have been utilized with a downward adjustment to the capitalization rate applied in order to recognize the potential to increase the lower end rents.

Based on the analysis completed, taking into account current market conditions as well

as the age, location, design and condition of the subject property, the writer is of the opinion that an appropriate capitalization rate for the subject, when actual September 2014 rents are utilized, varying between approximately 5.75% and 6.00% would apply, resulting in the following estimate of value: 5.75% Market Value = Net Operating Income ÷ Capitalization Rate Market Value = $800,368.00 ÷ .0575 Market Value = $13,919,443.00 6.00% Market Value = Net Operating Income ÷ Capitalization Rate Market Value = $800,368.00 ÷ .060 Market Value = $13,339,467.00

A correlation of the value estimates above results in the following final estimate of value for the subject via Direct Capitalization:

$13,800,000.00

(THIRTEEN MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

In the event that the subject property was acquired on an all cash basis, the resulting cash flow dividend would be approximately 5.80%.

In order to confirm that the subject property would provide an adequate return when recognizing typical mortgage financing, a projection of cash flows on this basis will be undertaken. Through discussions with the various lending institutions, a conventional financing package for the subject property, as at the current date, has been estimated to involve a 70% loan to value ratio at an interest rate of 3.75% with a 25 year amortization term, reflective of the remaining economic lifespan estimate.

In addition, at the current date, financing at higher loan to value ratios and lower interest rates is available through CMHC and as a result, CMHC financing has become the most common financing option evident in the market for multi-family properties. As such, a cash flow dividend calculation based on a projected CMHC financing will be also presented.

It is emphasized that these do not represent actual financing available to the subject property rather, have been projected for analysis purposes. Based on the preceding terms, the cash flow analyses are detailed as follows:

Conventional Financing At 4.98%, the subject property is considered to provide some return to the investor and

recognizes the positive attributes of the property though also reflects that debt service requirements can be met. A debt coverage ratio was also developed within the analysis. Overall, at 1.35, the subject is able to support a mortgage at the rate indicated providing additional support for the capitalization rate selected.

CMHC Financing At 6.08%, the subject property is considered to provide a more attractive return to the

investor and recognizes the financing terms currently offered by CMHC for multi-family investment properties. In addition, at a 1.46 debt coverage ratio, the subject is able to support a mortgage at the rate indicated providing additional support for the capitalization rate selected. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS (Based on CMHC financing) As a further test of the relative risk of the market rental rates and vacancy rates selected, a Sensitivity Analysis will be completed which reviews the ability of the subject property to meet debt service requirements and provide a return to an investor in assuming lower performance levels than projected in the Base Year. The assumption will therefore be made that rents are reduced by 10%, approximately $92.00 per month on average. The results of this change would affect the financial performance of the subject property by lowering the Net Operating Income to $676,501.00 per annum or $5,638.00 per unit on average. This would also have the effect of lowering the cash flow dividend rate to 3.09 and the debt coverage ratio to 1.23. Furthermore, rents could decline from the Base Year average of $919.00 by approximately $187.00, or approximately 20.3%, to $732.00, and debt service obligations could be met. This would basically represent the “break-even” point. GROSS INCOME MULTIPLIER

The comparable sales have indicated a range in Gross Income Multipliers varying from

approximately 11.0 to 14.0 based on actual rents and between approximately 11.1 and 12.1 based on stabilized rents. The various factors which would influence the risk and return of the subject property have been discussed in detail within the previous income analysis. The same factors would also impact the selection of a Gross Income Multiplier for the subject. Factors such as the average condition, 1978 construction, design, and the actual rents, location and suite mix are influential.

A key factor within the Gross Income Multiplier analysis is the nature of the expenses projected for the subject property relative to the comparable sales. As discussed previously in this report, expenses for the Base Year which have resulted in an expense ratio based on actual rents of 38.50% which rises above the range indicated by the comparable sales, resulting from the suite mix in place involving 50% of bachelor units. In isolation, an expense ratio at this level would suggest a Gross Income Multiplier below the range indicated by the comparable sales.

Furthermore, within the Gross Income Multiplier analysis it is also important to recognize all of the necessary adjustments including the time adjustment, location, age and condition, etc. The reader is referred back to the detailed discussion regarding all comparable sales within the previous income analysis. Downward adjustments are warranted for Indices #3 and #6, both located within more desirable areas relative to the subject location. This would suggest a Gross Income Multiplier toward the lower end of the range indicated by the majority of comparables.

Overall, based on all factors, in particular the age, location and condition of the subject property, a Gross Income Multiplier slightly below the range set by the comparable sales varying from approximately 10.50 to 11.00 would be appropriate for the subject property. In emphasizing the median of this range, 10.75, the valuation of the subject property is as follows: Market Value = Effective Gross Income x Gross Income Multiplier Market Value = $1,301,508.00 x 10.75 Market Value = $13,991,211.00 Rounded to:

$14,000,000.00 (FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS)

DIRECT COMPARISON APPROACH The Direct Comparison Approach involves the gathering, analyzing and comparing of data on similar properties which have sold, on which offers have been made, or which are available for sale. Basically, the approach implies the “Principle of Substitution”, which states that a prudent purchaser will pay no more for a given property than the cost to acquire a substitute of equal utility. Assuming in the appraisal of a property that a sufficient number of comparables can be found, the Direct Comparison provides a good test of value, as nothing is more basic to the appraisal of real estate than the study of the actions of buyers and sellers in the marketplace. In applying the approach to multi-family complexes, the most common unit of comparison represents the “sale price per suite”. To lend support to the Income Approach, this unit of comparison will be analyzed relative to the sales presented earlier in this report.

The subject property features 60 bachelor and 60 one bedroom units. The property is deemed in average condition having been well maintained with a regular maintenance program clearly evident.

As discussed, the subject property is located within west Edmonton suburban neighbourhood. Typically, apartment buildings located within suburban neighbourhoods tend to target couples and families and therefore feature larger suites involving primarily one, two or three bedroom suites. Lesser demand is typically evident for bachelor suites in suburban areas relative to central locations. Given the suite mix in place involving 50% of bachelor suites, the subject property represents a unique investment, which may provide some level of risk.

Actual rents have been utilized in this analysis. A key aspect in analyzing multi-family properties on the basis of a sale price per suite is the net income per suite generated. At $6,595.00 per suite, the net income for the subject falls below the range set by the comparable sales arising from the suite mix of only bachelor and one bedroom suites.

Comparable Sales A review of the comparable sales indicates unit values ranging from approximately

$112,000.00 and $165,000.00. Given the age, condition, size, design, suite mix, and location of the subject property a unit value toward the lower end of this range would be expected.

Relative to the comparables, the net income per suite for the subject is most similar to that indicated by Index #4 on actual rents. Index #4 hah achieved a sale price per suite of $112,000.00 and involves the sale of a 5 building portfolio located throughout north central Edmonton neighbourhoods. The individual buildings exhibit 1960’s and 70’s construction and are reported in generally average to good condition. Of note, modest upside potential was evident to the existing rents within Index #4.

Furthermore, the net income per suite for the subject is approximately 18% below that indicated by Index #5 which has achieved a sale price per suite of approximately $142,000.00. As noted, Index #5 involves represents the sale of a larger scale (91 units) low rise apartment project located in southeast Edmonton suburban neighbourhood, within a similar profile area as the subject location. The property was built in 1978, exhibits wood frame construction, a mixture of bachelor, one, two, and three bedroom units and was deemed in generally average to good condition as of the sale date. In recognizing the approximate 18% downward adjustment to Index #5 a unit value of approximately $117,000.00 for the subject property would be expected.

Net Income Multiplier Reference is also made to the Net Income Multipliers indicated by the comparable

sales. The Net Income Multiplier contrasts the net income per suite to the sale price per unit and allows comparisons to be drawn between sales exhibiting different net incomes per suite as the subject and comparable sales. The comparable sales have indicated a range in Net Income

Multipliers varying between approximately 16.6 and 17.8 based on stabilized rents. In recognizing current market conditions, the actual rents, age, design, condition, and location of the subject property, a Net Income Multiplier toward the lower end of the range set by the majority of the comparable sales varying from approximately 17.00 to 17.50 would be appropriate for the subject property. Accordingly, based on the above range in Net Income Multipliers, a range in per unit values varying from approximately $113,500.00 to $117,000.00 would be expected.

There is clearly a correlation between the sale price per suite and the average net income per suite and this relationship holds true for all forms of investment real estate. Stated simply the higher the net income per suite, the greater the sale price per unit. In acknowledging that such properties are generally acquired based on income potential, it becomes difficult to adjust the sales beyond recognizing where the overall range for the subject property should be placed and potentially applying general adjustments for basic factors.

Conclusion In recognizing the various characteristics of the subject property as detailed throughout

this analysis and in giving consideration to the Net Operating Income per suite which falls toward the lower end of the range indicated by the comparable sales, a unit value for the subject varying from approximately $112,000.00 to $117,000.00 per unit is considered most appropriate. In emphasizing the approximate median of this range, $115,000.00 per unit will be applied within this analysis. This represents a net income multiplier of 17.24. Accordingly, the valuation of the subject property is as follows: Market Value = Number of Suites x Price per Suite Market Value = 120 Suites x $115,000.00 Market Value = $13,800,000.00

$13,800,000.00 (THIRTEEN MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS)

RECONCILIATION OF VALUE INDICATIONS AND FINAL ESTIMATE OF VALUE

Two approaches to value were developed within the context of this report and the

following value estimates yielded: Income Approach: • Direct Capitalization: $ 13,800,000.00 • Gross Income Multiplier Analysis: $ 14,000,000.00 Direct Comparison Approach: • Sale Price Per Suite Analysis: $ 13,800,000.00 The valuation of Windsor Estates has resulted in a narrow range in value estimates by application of the appropriate techniques. The subject property represents a conventionally designed, larger scale rental apartment complex located in a good rental location. The property is deemed in average condition overall. As a rental property, the Direct Capitalization Approach represents the key valuation technique and is most commonly utilized by investors in the local market. Both the Gross Income Multiplier and Sale Price per Suite Analysis tend to be more “rule of thumb” valuation techniques intended to support the value estimate derived by means of Direct Capitalization. As such, emphasis would be placed on the value derived via Direct Capitalization, in arriving at a final estimate of value.

The subject property is currently operated as an investment property and therefore the estimate of value derived via the Income Approach represents key valuation technique. Overall, the following value estimate applies to the subject property, effective September 22nd, 2014:

$13,800,000.00 (THIRTEEN MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS)
