1. PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL:
On 24 September, 2013, the undersigned were requested to prepare an
appraisal at the instance of Flowers & Frankfort, attn. Ms. Jacqueline Ugorji
for the purpose of estimating the Fair Market Value of the subject property known
as Gulfstream. The property is situated in Lyford Cay, in the Western District of
New Providence, Bahamas, of which Nassau is the capital.
2. DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE:
"Market Value means the most probable price which a property should bring in a
competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer
and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is
not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a
sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under
conditions whereby:
1) Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2) Both parties are well informed or advised, and acting in what they consider
their own best interest;
3) A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4) Payment is made in terms of cash in Bahamian 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".
3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY:

13. OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS:

14. METHODS OF VALUATION:
In determining the market value of a property the Cost Approach, the Income
Approach and the Sales Comparison Approach are normally used.
Cost Approach:
The Cost Approach gives an analysis showing the fee simple value of the land, the
value of the site improvements and the cost to construct the building at current
building rates. Physical depreciation is then deducted from the construction cost.
Functional obsolescence and economic depreciation are also factored in
depreciation if applicable.
Physical depreciation is measured by the Straight-Line method. This method
assumes a constant decline in the value for the property. The rate of decline is
expressed as a percentage of reproduction cost and is found by dividing the
property's estimated economic life in years into the estimated cumulative
depreciation in percent at the end of its economic life. If the total estimated
cumulative depreciation is estimated at 100 per cent and the economic life is
estimated at fifty years, the rate of depreciation is two percent per annum
(depreciation rate (R) = 100%/50 = 2% per annum). This rate of 2% is then
multiplied by the effective age of the building or how old the building appears to
be according to the standard of maintenance. Due to the standard of
maintenance the effective age of the buildings is five years with the remaining
economic life being forty-five years.
Functional obsolescence is the loss in value arising from decreased utility,
inadequacy, overcapacity or changes in architectural style which are inherent in
GF000217
Appraiser: Robin B. Brownrigg Page Lot 9, Block 6, Lyford Cay Subdivision Appraisal Report
13
the structure itself. Economic depreciation is a loss in value resulting from
conditions outside of the property which adversely affect its character and degree
of utilization.
Economic depreciation has been considered in the appraisal analysis since the
Bahamas has been in a recession since 2008 with real estate values having been
negatively impacted throughout the country. Values in the high-end gated
subdivisions such as Lyford Cay, Old Fort and Ocean Club Estates have seen
decreases of approximately 20% in values since 2008.
Income Approach:
The Income Approach calculates the potential or actual gross annual income for
an income producing property based on current market rentals in the area;
deducts expenses such as insurance, property tax, maintenance and vacancy loss
unless the tenants pay for the operational expenses in the form of a common area
maintenance (CAM) charge; and capitalizes the net annual income between 9%
and 11% which reflects a return on investment that would be typically expected by
an investor in a commercial property. Deferred maintenance is considered for the
cost of repairs needed to bring the standard of a commercial building to an
acceptable level. This approach is not applicable for single-family residences
since they are not designed to be income producing and do not provide a strong
return on rental investment.
Sales Comparison Approach:
The Sales Comparison Approach involves a search for sales of properties similar
to the subject property within the last year. The prices for these properties provide
the basis for estimating the value of the subject by comparison. Appropriate
adjustments are made for the differences in the properties as they compare to the
subject. The adjusted process yields various indicators of value. An analysis and
GF000218
Appraiser: Robin B. Brownrigg Page Lot 9, Block 6, Lyford Cay Subdivision Appraisal Report
14
correlation of resulting value indicators would normally provide a value estimate
for the subject by this approach.
Reconciliation of Values:
Reconciliation involves consideration of the relevance and influence of each
approach in relation of the actions of typical buyers and sellers and the quality
and quantity of supporting data used in the approaches to value. The estimated
value derived from each approach are analyzed and correlated into a final
conclusion of market value.

Rounded to: $4,000,000
16. ESTIMATE OF VALUE BY THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH:
The following sales have transpired in a recessionary environment with the current
recession having commenced in 2008. The comparable sales are all related to
canalfront properties in the main canal system in Lyford Cay with wide canals
being accessed from the marina basin. The subject lot is located on a separate
narrow canal in the southwestern section of Lyford Cay and is in a less desirable
location in the vicinity of Jaws Beach which is a public beach known for loud
weekend music.
Comparable 1:
Yellow Rose is another canalfront residence with a building area of 10,426
square feet and canal frontage of 152 feet that sold 31 July, 2011, for $3.8
million. Although larger than the subject residence and in a better location the
building is older and not in as good condition. An upward adjustment must
therefore be made. (Reference BREA MLS #13177).
Comparable 1
GF000220
Appraiser: Robin B. Brownrigg Page Lot 9, Block 6, Lyford Cay Subdivision Appraisal Report
16
Comparable 2:
The residence on Lots 12 and 13 in Block 40 on Sceptre Road, sold for
$6,705,000 gross in July, 2011. The property contains a double lot with 1.27
acres of land, compared to 0.84 acres for the subject, has approximately 7,000
square feet of livable area compared to 5,925 square feet and has 284 feet of
canal frontage compared to the subject at 229 linear feet. This property also has
a guest cottage, swimming pool and dock, was in good condition at the time of
sale, and was sold unfurnished. Overall, this property is considerably superior to
the subject property with a downward adjustment needing to be made. (Reference
– Mosko Realty sale).
Comparable 2
Comparable 3:
Judy’s House, a residence on Lot 16, Block 37, on Shamrock Road containing
6,000 square feet with a lot size of 0.637 acres and canal frontage of 65 feet
sold in October, 2011, for $3 million. Although similar in size to the subject and
in a better location, the building is older and not in as good a condition as the
subject. An upward adjustment in value is necessary. (Reference – Damianos
Realty sale).
GF000221
Appraiser: Robin B. Brownrigg Page Lot 9, Block 6, Lyford Cay Subdivision Appraisal Report
17
Comparable 3 Comparable 4:
Pink House, a small cottage situated on Lot 10 in Block 37 on Shamrock Road,
sold for $2.5 million net or approximately $3 million gross in July, 2012. This
property contains 0.79 acres or 34,412 square feet of land and has 310 feet of
canal frontage. In essence the land value equates to $87.00 per square foot with
nominal value placed on the cottage, and reflects a stronger land value than the
subject being at the end of a canal peninsula with panoramic views in three
directions. An adjustment downward must therefore be made for the subject land
value. (Reference – Bahamas Realty sale).
Comparable 4
Comparable 5:
The Graham residence on Lot 4 in Block 39 sold for $4,350,000 gross in July,
2012. This property contains 0.52 of an acre of land, 6,000 square feet of
livable area, a site area of 0.64 acre and has 149 feet of canal frontage. This
GF000222
Appraiser: Robin B. Brownrigg Page Lot 9, Block 6, Lyford Cay Subdivision Appraisal Report
18
building was in good condition at the time of sale. The size of the
accommodations is similar to the subject. The land size and canal frontage is
inferior but the location is superior. Overall this is a good comparable.
(Reference – Damianos Realty sale).
Comparable 5
Comparable 6:
Lot 17, Block 38, Rainbow Drive, sold for $2,074,000 gross in 2010 containing
approximately 0.50 of an acre and being a vacant canal front lot. The per square
foot value equates to $95.00 per square foot. This is a superior location to the
subject and hence an adjustment downwards must be considered for the subject
land value. (Reference – Damianos Realty sale).
Comparable 6
GF000223
Appraiser: Robin B. Brownrigg Page Lot 9, Block 6, Lyford Cay Subdivision Appraisal Report
19
Comparable 7:
A lot opposite Judy’s House being Lot 5, Block 37, on Shamrock Road containing
0.637 of an acre and having 156 feet of canal frontage sold in February, 2013,
for $1,350,000. This sale equates to $49.00 per square foot. (Reference –
Damianos Realty sale).
Comparable 7
Summary of Sales:
Comparable 2 reflects the high end of values compared to the subject at $6.7
million being superior in all respects. Comparable 3 is the lowest sale value at $3
million with the canal frontage only being 65 feet. Comparable 1 is a good
comparable with a larger floor area but an older building at $3.8 million.
Comparable 5 is considered to be slightly stronger in value at $4,350,000.
Overall a value of $4 million is considered to be a fair assessment of value for the
subject.
The land value as used in the Cost Approach has been determined by the
following comparables, all situated in the main Lyford Cay canal system.
Comparable 6 is near the entrance to the marina with the strongest value of
$95.00 per square foot. Comparable 4 supports $87.00 per square foot, but
GF000224
Appraiser: Robin B. Brownrigg Page Lot 9, Block 6, Lyford Cay Subdivision Appraisal Report
20
does contain a small cottage. Comparable 7 is located a good distance from the
canal entrance and hence a value of $49.00 per square foot. All these lots are
superior to the subject being in the main canal waterways. An adjustment
downward to $40.00 per square foot is therefore reasonable in determining the
land value used in the Cost Approach.
