January 17, 2017 Keystone File No. 170106 Prestigious Properties Attn: Mike Hammerlindl #912 – 743 Railway Avenue Canmore, AB T1W 1P2 Dear Mr. Hammerlindl: Re: Property Address: 1900 10th St. South, Cranbrook BC Legal Description: LTS 3 & 4, PL 5032, DL 32 Parcel Identifiers: 015-537-249 & 014-537-231
As requested an appraisal of the above property has been completed. The value estimated is current market value and the interest appraised is that of Fee Simple. After careful review and consideration, the current market value estimate of the subject as at January 5, 2017 is:
$3,400,000
Three Million, Four Hundred Thousand Dollars
The subject property consists of a 67 bay manufactured home park on a +/- 9.25 acre lot. In addition, there is an up and down duplex that are tenant occupied. The data, information, analysis and calculations leading to this value conclusion are presented in the report following this letter. The report, in its entirety, including all assumptions and limiting conditions, is an integral part of and inseparable from this letter. Any special assumptions and limiting considerations were clearly defined in the report and the reader’s attention is specifically directed to them. No opinion is expressed herein as to the presence or absence of any environmental contamination which may affect the subject property, and which, if present, could have a substantial adverse effect on value. This report is based on the assumption that there is no environmental contamination or significant threat of environmental contamination to the subject property. This report has been prepared in conformance with my interpretation of the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice as provided by the Appraisal Institute of Canada. It is inappropriate to rely upon this value estimate or individual sections of this report without reference to the report in its entirety. This report was prepared for the client, Prestigious Properties, to assist with financial planning purposes. It is intended to be used only for these specified purposes. It may not be distributed to or relied upon by other persons or entities without written permission of the Appraiser. Unauthorized third party reliance is expressly denied. Thank you for the opportunity of being of service to you. Respectively submitted,

Recreation &
Sports
Cranbrook’s facilities allow visitors and residents alike to enjoy a wide variety of indoor and outdoor leisure activities.
Popular outdoor activities include golf, hiking, boating, hunting, cycling, snowmobiling, fishing and
Sightseeing.
Cranbrook also offers many indoor activities. Among other things, the City has two live performance theatres: The Key City Theatre and The Stage Door. It also has a five-plex cinema, featuring current movies.
The City has three indoor arenas, including the Western Financial Place, a 4,264 seat arena which offers aquatic activities, an ice rink and a squash court. It was built in 2000 and is home to the Kootenay Ice hockey team. In addition, the City offers a bowling alley and casino, as well as many other facilities and amenities.
The rents range from $275 to $400 per month. Mesa Grove does provide a rent of $400 per month. Mesa Grove is located
closer to amenities than the subject.
In consideration of the location, etc, the subject pad rentals as at January 2017 appear to be within current market levels in
Cranbrook.
Rental increases for existing rents are subject to rent controls and there is limited ability to raise existing rents.
The current rent roll will be used plus the two vacant pads will be estimated at $400 per month.
The current duplex rents are considered market rents and they will be used.
See Addenda E and F for legislation/rent controls.
The best estimate of the current gross potential income of the Hycrest Mobile Home park based on the foregoing is therefore
calculated as:
Revenue # Units Total Monthly Rent Annual Rent
Pad Rent 67 $24,627.56 $295,530.72
Duplex #68 (Upper Level) 1 $875 $10,500
Duplex #69 (Lower Level) 1 $925 $11,100
Total Revenue $26,427.56 $317,130.72 Table 19
The total subject gross income potential of the mobile home park is therefore estimated to be $317,130

5.3.4 Subject Vacancy Rate and Expense Data Currently two pads are vacant. The subject is average quality in terms of site improvements and most of the modular homes, while
older, for the most part, are maintained. Landscaping is minimal. Tenants appear to be long term. .
Therefore, a vacancy rate and bad debts of 2% per annum is considered applicable.
Mobile home parks generally require minimum staffing and maintenance and have fairly low operating expense ratios in the range
of 25% to 40% of income, assuming no other expenses such as tenant utilities inclusive but not limited to electrical, phone and cable
services. Discussion with the tenant of the lower level of the duplex indicates that the owner does pay the hot water for both units
and the tenant is responsible for all other expenses. The subject’s infrastructure and servicing assumed to be in good condition.
However, city sewer and water costs are higher than most other communities. In 2016, the utility fees were $59.50 per month per
unit which is almost 50% of the expense total. After stabilizing the income and expense statement provided by the client, an expense
ratio of about 30% is indicated.
Considering the foregoing, the applicable estimated operating expense ratio for the subject is estimated at 30% and is considered
reasonable, resulting in the following stabilized Net operating income (NOI) estimate of the mobile home park:
Stabilized Gross Income: $317,130
Less Vacancy Collection Loss: 2% $6,343
Effective Gross Income: $310,787
Less operating expenses: 30% $93,236
Net Operating Income: $217,551
The mobile home park stabilized net income potential is therefore projected to be $217,551 per annum.

5.3.5 Market Indicator Chart – OCR Rates and GIM
The capitalization rate generally reflects the degree of risk associated with the property investment. It also reflects relative liquidity,
competing rates of return on other investments, the prospect of rental growth as well as the level of management and maintenance
expenditure, and other factors.
The Gross Income method is used when information on operating costs over a 12 month period is limited or non-existent. It is an
analysis of the relationship between income (rent) and sale price of properties similar to the subject. Through this method a multiplier
is derived in order to adjust gross income from a single time period to obtain an estimate of value.
Real estate, as a commodity, must compete in the marketplace along with other interest earning investments, including bonds,
money market accounts, stocks and a myriad of other investments. The very nature of real estate indicates that it does not have the
liquidity of cash and therefore entails risk.
Fundamental to the development of a capitalization method is the perceived risk of the investment. This risk assessment reflects
not only the physical characteristics of the subject property, but also the security and ongoing viability of the income stream. It is
imperative that the comparables used to obtain the cap rate or the gross income multiplier, be similar or be adjusted for differences.
The following sales of mobile home parks and resorts/campgrounds are best suited for this analysis:

5.3.6 Income Approach Value Estimate
Overall capitalization rate
On the basis of the overall capitalization rate, the mobile home park sales suggest a range from 5.20% to 11% with a median of
7.67% and an average of 7.82%. The subject is an average quality park in a residential neighbourhood and in reasonably close
proximity to services and amenities. Though snow covered, it is assumed that grounds are maintained. It does appear that the
overall trend is toward a decreasing capitalization rate over the last couple of years which coincides with very low yields on
conventional investments. Thus, demand for real estate investments has increased and correspondingly, capitalization rates have
decreased. Typically, smaller scale parks will indicate lower capitalization rates.
Based on the foregoing, the applicable OCR is estimated to range between 6.25% and 6.5% is:
$217,551 ÷ 6.25% = $3,480,816
$217,551 ÷ 6.50% = $3,346,938
The estimate of value by the Overall Capitalization Rate ranges between ±$3,481,000 and ±$3,347,000. Without further means to
adjust and inconsideration of location, risk municipally serviced, a midpoint range is selected.
The final estimate of value of the Hycrest mobile home park by the Income Approach is: $3,414,000

5.4 Final Value
i) Direct Comparison $3,383,000
Approach:
The Direct Comparison Approach is suited for a variety of residential, commercial and industrial
properties. However, it requires sales of similar properties that have occurred reasonably
recently. In this case, the available sales were considered of good enough quality to complete
the analysis by this approach to value.
ii) Income Approach: $3,414,000
(OCR and GIM Method)
The Income Approach is widely utilized in the valuation of income producing properties. Within
this Approach, the OCR Method was used. The availability of financial information was
reasonable to successfully estimate value by the OCR Method.
iii) Final Value: $3,400,000
Both approaches validate the estimate of value; they have been adopted to represent the current
market conditions, property type and use and purchaser behaviour. Generally, the OCR Method
is considered to more accurately reflect the typical purchaser behaviour for investment
properties.
The value estimate contained herein is subject to review should additional financial information
be made available. The financial statements as provided to us by the client have not been
independently verified.

6.2 Limiting Conditions
i) The legal description of the Property and the area of the site were obtained from BC Assessment and the Land Titles Office.
Further, the plans and sketches contained in this report are included solely to aid the recipient in visualizing the location of
the Property, the configuration and boundaries of the site and the relative position of the improvements;
ii) Keystone Appraisals Inc. cannot advise on legal matters, opinions of titles, questions of survey, hidden or unapparent
conditions of the Property, toxic wastes or contaminated materials, soil or sub-soil conditions, environmental, engineering
or other technical matters, which might render this Property more or less valuable than as stated in this report. If it came to
our attention as the result of our investigation and analysis that certain problems may exist, a cautionary note has been
entered in this report;
iii) The data and statistical information in this report were gathered from reliable sources and are believed to be correct.
However, these data are not guaranteed for accuracy, even though every attempt has been made to verify the authenticity
of this information;
iv) The estimated market value of the Property does not necessarily represent the value of the underlying shares, if the asset
is so held, as the value of the shares could be affected by other considerations. Further, the estimated market value does
not include consideration on any extraordinary financing, rental of income guarantees, special tax considerations or any
other atypical benefits which may influence the ordinary market value of the Property, unless the effects of such special
conditions, and the extent of any consequent special value have been described and measured in this report;
v) Should title to the Property currently be held (or changed to a holding) by a partnership, in a joint venture, through a co-
tenancy arrangement of by any other form of divisional ownership the value of any associated fractional interest may be
more of less than the percentage of ownership appearing in the contractual agreement pertaining to the structure of such
divisional ownership;
vi) In the event of syndication, the aggregate value of the limited partnership interests may be greater than the value of the
property rights being appraised by reason of the possible contributory value of non-realty interests or benefits such as
provisions for tax shelter, potential for capital appreciations, special investment privileges, particular company and income
guarantees, special financing or extraordinary agreements for management services;
vii) The final estimated market value is predicated upon the condition that the Property would be sold on the basis of cash over
the amount of conventional current market mortgage financing and subject to any contractual agreements and
encumbrances as noted in this report, without any contingent agreements or caveats. Other financial arrangements, good
or cumbersome, may affect the price at which the Property might sell in the open market;
viii) Should the author of this report be required to give testimony or appear in court or at any administrative proceeding relating
to this appraisal, prior arrangements shall be made including provisions for additional compensation to permit adequate
time for preparation and for any appearances which may be required.
ix) However, neither this or any other of these assumptions nor limiting conditions is an attempt to limit the use that might be
made of this report should it properly become evidence in a judicial proceeding. In such case, it is acknowledged that it is
the judicial body, which will decide the use of this report, which best serves, the administration of justice;
x) Because market conditions, including economic, social and political factors, change rapidly and, on occasion, without notice

Addendum F – Rent Increase / Formula – Page 1 of 2
Rent Increases Landlords can only increase the rent once a year by an amount permitted by law or an additional amount approved in
advance by an arbitrator – they need to use the right form and give the tenant three full months’ notice of the rent increase.
The maximum allowable rent increase changes each year. The limits for residential tenancies and manufactured home park
tenancies are different.
For residential tenancies, the standard allowable rent increase for 2016 is 2.9%
For manufactured home park tenancies, the standard allowable rent increase for 2016 is 2.9% plus a proportional
amount for the change in local government levies and regulated utility fees
Proportional Amount Rent Increase Manufactured home park landlords can increase the rent by the annual allowable amount plus an additional amount to
cover local government levies and regulated utility fees.
The “proportional amount” (also known as an enhanced rent increase) is the change in local government levies plus the
change in regulated utility fees, divided by the number of manufactured home sites in park. This means that each tenant of
the park pays for a part of the year’s increase in taxes and fees. Please note, conventional residential tenancies may not
increase rent by the proportional amount.
Expenses Included
Only the cost of government levies and regulated utility fees for the common property of the park can be included in the
rent increase calculation:
Government levies: Items that are listed on a local government tax notice such as school taxes, hospital levies or

Additional Rent Increase
To raise the rent above the permitted amount, the landlord must have either the tenant’s written agreement or an order from the RTB for the reasons listed below.
An order approving the increase might be issued where the landlord:
Can demonstrate the rent for a manufactured home site is significantly lower than that of similar sites in other parks in the area
Completed significant repairs or renovations to the park that are reasonable and necessary and will not recur within a reasonable time period Incurred a financial loss from an extraordinary increase in operating expenses Incurred a financial loss for the financing costs of purchasing the manufactured home park that could not reasonably have been foreseen To apply for an order, the landlord must submit an Application for Additional Rent Increase to the RTB. For costs see fee schedule on page 41 of this guide.
Upon receipt of the application, the RTB will give the landlord a notification package including a hearing date. The landlord must notify all the tenants within three days by serving them a copy of the package. At the hearing, the tenants can raise their concerns regarding the landlord’s proposed increase.
If the application is approved by the RTB and an order is issued, the landlord must notify affected tenants using the form Notice of Rent Increase – Manufactured Home Site. The approved increase should be indicated on the form. The landlord must give tenants three whole rental months’ notice before the rent increase comes into effect.
Disputing a Rent Increase
A tenant can dispute a landlord’s notice of rent increase that does not comply with the Act, by applying for dispute resolution, provided the rent increase was not granted by a RTB arbitrator.
