Climatic Conditions:

1.8 OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE (F):70s.

Utilities:

1.9 Water Source:Public.

1.10 Sewage Disposal:Public.

1.11 Electric:Municipal.

1.12 Fuel:Natural Gas. Supplied by local utility company.

1.13 Utility Status:All utilities on.

Purpose Scope:

1.14 ASTM E 2018:The purpose, as defined by ASTM E 2018 and use of this guide, is to define good commercial practice inthe USA for conducting a baseline property conditions assessment (PCA) of the improvements locatedon a parcel of commercial real estate by performing a walk-through survey and conducting research as

outlined within the guide. The goal is to identify and communicate physical deficiencies to a use. The

term physical deficiencies includes the conspicuous defects and material deferred maintenance

of a subject property's material systems, components or equipment as observed duringcompletion of the PCA.

This definition excludes deficiencies that may be remedied with routine maintenance,miscellaneous minor repairs, normal operating maintenance, etc., and excludes de minimis

conditions that generally do not present material physical deficiencies of the subject property.

1.15 Deviations from Standards:Deviations from standards are as such: No plan or document reviews conducted, no interviewsconducted. We did not conduct any record research. For example, outstanding citations related to

building code violations with local building department nor did we conduct any research as to anyoutstanding fire code violations.

RESOURCES/DEFINITIONS AND LIFE SPANS:

STANDARD TERMS:

2.1 GENERAL DEFINITIONS:Cladding: This is the actual skin of the structure. It can be glass, brick veneer, stone, stucco etc.

Facade: Face of structure. Concrete or brick. It is considered part of the structural aspect of the buildingunlike cladding.

HVAC: Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning

Main disconnect: This is the main electrical shut off for the structure.

Not Technically Exhaustive: Appropriate due diligence according to this guide is not to be construed astechnically exhaustive. There is a point at which the cost of information obtained or the time required to

conduct the PCA and prepare the PCR may outweigh the usefulness of the information and, in fact, maybe a material detriment to the orderly and timely completion of a commercial real estate transaction. It isthe intent of this guide to attempt to identify a balance between limiting the costs and time demands

inherent in performing a PCA and reducing the uncertainty about unknown physical deficiencies resultingfrom completing additional inquiry.

PCR (Property Conditions Report): This is the report that generates the Property Conditions Surveyconducted by observer or consultant

Physical Deficiencies: In defining good commercial and customary practice for conducting a baselinePCA, the goal is to identify and communicate physical deficiencies to a user. The term physical

deficiencies means the presence of conspicuous defects or material deferred maintenance of a subjectproperty's material systems, components, or equipment as observed during the field observer's

walk-through survey. This definition specifically excludes deficiencies that may be remedied with routinemaintenance, miscellaneous minor repairs, normal operating maintenance, etc., and excludes de minimisconditions that generally do not present material physical deficiencies of the subject property.

Plumbing: This is the water supply lines, water heaters and sanitary waste and ventilation part of thestructure

Principles: The following principles are an integral part of this guide. They are intended to be referred to

in resolving ambiguity, or in exercising discretion accorded the user or consultant in conducting a PCA,or in judging whether a user or consultant has conducted appropriate inquiry or has otherwise conductedan adequate PCA

Property Conditions Assessment: The PCA performed per ASTM standards is site-specific in that it

relates to the physical condition of real property improvements on a specific parcel of commercial realestate. Consequently, this guide does not address many additional issues in real estate transactionssuch as economic obsolescence, the purchase of business entities, or physical deficiencies relating to

off-site conditions.

Representative Observations: The purpose of conducting representative observations is to convey tothe user the expected magnitude of commonly encountered or anticipated conditions. Recommendedrepresentative observation quantities for various asset types are provided in Annex A1; however, if in the

field observer's opinion such representative observations as presented in Annex A1 are unwarranted asa result of homogeneity of the asset or other reasons deemed appropriate by the field observer, the field

observer may survey sufficient units, areas, systems, buildings, etc. so as to comment with reasonableconfidence as to the representative present condition of such repetitive or similar areas, systems,buildings, etc. To the extent there is more than one building on the subject property, and they are

homogeneous with respect to approximate age, use, basic design, materials, and systems, it is not arequirement of this guide for the field observer to conduct a walk-through survey of each individualbuilding's systems to describe or comment on their condition within the PCR. The descriptions and

observations provided in the PCR are to be construed as representative of all similar improvements

System: Refers to the complexities of a part of the structure. For example the electrical system hasmany parts, the plumbing and HVAC system have many components parts that make up the whole

system

The consultant (Observer): is the qualified professional conducting the walk through assessment of the

property, structure

Uncertainty Not Eliminated: No PCA can wholly eliminate the uncertainty regarding the presence ofphysical deficiencies and the performance of a subject property's building systems. Preparation of a PCRin accordance with this guide is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, the uncertainty regarding the

potential for component or system failure and to reduce the potential that such component or systemmay not be initially observed. This guide also recognizes the inherent subjective nature of a consultant'sopinions as to such issues as workmanship, quality of original installation, and estimating the RUL of any

given component or system. The guide recognizes a consultant's suggested remedy may be determinedunder time constraints, formed without the aid of engineering calculations, testing, exploratory probing,

the removal or relocation of materials, design, or other technically exhaustive means. Furthermore, theremay be other alternative or more appropriate schemes or methods to remedy a physical deficiency. Theconsultant's opinions generally are formed without detailed knowledge from those familiar with the

component's or system's performance.

User: Otherwise, client. Person who has interest in obtaining a Property Conditions Assessment as part

of their due diligence.

RESOURCES:

2.2 Cost to Cure Source:Cost estimates are obtained from a multitude of sources, such as R. S. Means, the National Contractorestimator 55th Edition, local contractors and specialty tradesman, the web site, manufacturers and

installers. Also cost are based on historical references. It should be understood that this PCR should not

PLUMBING SYSTEM

Water quality or hazardous materials (lead) testing is available from local testing labs, and not included in this walkthrough. All underground piping related to water supply, waste, or sprinkler use are excluded from this walk throughsurvey. Leakage or corrosion in underground piping cannot be detected by a visual observation, nor can thepresence of mineral build-up that may gradually restrict their inner diameter and reduce water volume. Plumbingcomponents such as gas pipes, potable water pipes, drain and vent pipes, and shut-off valves are not generallytested if not in daily use. The consultant cannot state the effectiveness or operation of any anti-siphon devices,automatic safety controls, water conditioning equipment, fire and lawn sprinkler systems, on-site water quality andquantity, on-site waste disposal systems, foundation irrigation systems, spa and swimming pool equipment, solarwater heating equipment, or observe the system for proper sizing, design, or use of materials.

Waste and drainpipes pipe condition is usually directly related to their age. Older ones are subject to damagethrough decay and root movement, whereas the more modern ABS ones are virtually impervious to damage,although some rare batches have been alleged to be defective. Older structures with galvanized or cast iron supplyor waste lines can be obstructed and barely working during a walk through but later fail under heavy use. If thewater is turned off or not used for periods of time (such as a vacant building waiting for closing), rust or depositswithin the piping can further clog the piping system. However, inasmuch as significant portions of drainpipes areconcealed, we can only infer their condition by observing the draw at drains at the time of walk through. Nonetheless, blockages will still occur in the life of any system.

WATER SUPPLY:

5.1 SOURCE::City/Municipal. Meter is located at Front parkway. Shut valve is located, at back side.

WASTE DISPOSAL:

5.2 SEWAGE DISPOSAL TYPE:Client should understand that the sewer line from the building to the street sewer is not visible in thistype of general visual inspection. Inspector can not determine condition or adequacy of this waste pipe.We always recommend contracting with a qualified sewer line inspector who uses a scope and camera

to view the system and render a report as to its condition.

© Confidential - for client use only. Use by any unauthorized persons is prohibited.

5.3 MATERIAL & CONDITION:Predominant waste line material is cast iron. Only 1% of the waste disposal system is visible to theinspector. Most of the waste drainage system is within walls, into common areas and below grade and

therefore can not be viewed.

5.4 WASTE VENTING:Satisfactory. In plumbing, a vent, or more precisely, a drain waste vent, helps to remove sewage andgreywater from a building or home. The vent also helps to regulate air pressure in the plumbing pipes to

ensure that the water flows unimpeded through them.

5.5 LOCATION OF CLEANOUTS:Various exterior locations.

OTHER PLUMBING:

5.6 LAWN SPRINKLERS:Backflow preventer device installed for the lawnsprinkler system. The Environmental Protection

Agency requires installation of an approved backflowprevention device and that it be tested annually.Consult tenant or owner for documentations.

WATER HEATER:

5.7 LOCATION:Interiors. Adjacent to kitchen.

5.8 Model & Serial Numbers:76 Gallon gas fired water heater.

5.9 AGE:18 year old. Average life span of a water heater is 12 to 15 years.

5.10 CONDITION:Operational at this time though beyond its life span. Budget for replacement.

5.11 COMBUSTION AIR:Adequate amount of fresh air supply to ensure complete combustion.

5.12 DRIP LEG?:No drip leg installed on the incoming gas line to the water heater. Installation of a drip leg is

recommended to prevent debris from getting into the gas valve.

5.13 VENT PIPE CONDITION:

Evidence of poor drafting. This means that the gases

are spilling back down rather than expelling to theexteriors.

5.14 WATER PIPES:Rust and corrosion noted to water pipes. Repairs are needed at this time.

5.15 TEMPERATURE CONTROL:Not operated or tested.

5.16 TPRV:Temperature and pressure relief valve is installed and it has a drain tube that terminates to approved

location.

5.17 BRACING:Satisfactory.

Be aware that the consultant can not detect gas leaks and is only commenting on visual portions of the gas

lines. Consultant does not operate gas valves nor light pilots to appliances that are off at the time of thewalk through survey. Much of the gas lines, such as to any pool heater or BBQ are below grade and

therefore not visible as mentioned above and can not be located or viewed for observation. Consultant isalso not performing any calculations as to pipe sizing for certain appliances or adequacy and efficiency offlow and pressure. This can only be done by qualified licensed professional plumbing contractor with the

use of special gauges and instruments.

HEATING, VENTILATION & AIR CONDITIONING

Consultant can only readily open access panels provided by the manufacturer or installer for routine maintenance,and will not operate components when weather conditions or other circumstances apply that may cause equipmentdamage. The consultant does not light pilot lights or ignite or extinguish solid fuel fires, nor are safety devicestested. The consultant is not equipped to observe furnace heat exchangers for evidence of cracks or holes, or viewconcealed portions of evaporator and condensing coils, heat exchanger or firebox, electronic air filters, humidifiersand de-humidifiers, ducts and in-line duct motors or dampers, as this can only be done by dismantling the unit. Thermostats are not checked for calibration or timed functions. Adequacy, efficiency or the even distribution of airthroughout a building cannot be addressed by a visual observation. Have these systems evaluated by a qualifiedindividual. The consultant does not perform pressure tests on coolant systems, therefore no representation ismade regarding coolant charge or line integrity.

Please note that even modern heating systems can produce carbon monoxide, which in a poorly ventilated roomcan result in sickness and even death. Therefore, it is essential that any recommendations that are made forservice or further evaluation be scheduled before the close of escrow. A specialist could reveal additional defects orrecommend further upgrades that could affect your evaluation of the property, and our service does not include anyform or warranty or guarantee. Normal service and maintenance is recommended on a yearly basis. Determiningthe presence of asbestos materials commonly used in heating systems can ONLY be preformed by laboratorytesting and is beyond the scope of this walkthrough survey. Determining the condition of oil tanks, whether exposedor buried, is beyond the scope of this walkthrough. Leaking oil tanks represent an environmental hazard which issometimes costly to remedy.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

In accordance with the standards of practice we only test a representative number of switches and outlets and donot perform load-calculations to determine if the supply meets the demand. However, every electrical deficiency orrecommended upgrade should be regarded as a latent hazard that should be serviced as soon as possible, alongwith evaluation and certification of the entire system as safe by a licensed contractor. Therefore, it is essential thatany recommendations that are made for service or upgrades should be completed before the close of escrow orduring contingency period, because an electrician could reveal additional deficiencies or recommend additionalupgrades for which we disclaim any responsibility. Any electrical repairs or upgrades should be made by a licensedelectrician. Aluminum wiring requires periodic inspection and maintenance by a licensed electrician. SmokeAlarms should be installed within 15 feet of all bedroom doors, and tested regularly.

Operation of time clock motors is not verified. Inoperative light fixtures often lack bulbs or have dead bulbsinstalled. The consultant is not required to insert any tool, probe, or testing device inside the panels, test or operateany over-current device except for ground fault interrupters, nor dismantle any electrical device or control otherthan to remove the covers of the main and auxiliary distribution panels.

BUILDING FOUNDATION:

All structures are dependent on the soil beneath them for support, but soils are not uniform. Some thatappear to be firm and solid can become unstable during seismic activity or may expand with the influx of

water, moving structures with relative easy and fracturing slabs and other hard surfaces. In accordancewith our standards of practice, we identify foundation types and look for any evidence of structural

deficiencies. However, minor cracks or deteriorated surfaces are common in many foundations and mostdo not represent a structural problem. If major cracks are present along with bowing, we routinely

recommend further evaluation be made by a qualified structural engineer. All exterior grades should allowfor surface and roof water to flow away from the foundation. All concrete floor slabs experience somedegree of cracking due to shrinkage in the curing process. In most instances floor coverings prevent

recognition of cracks or settlement in all but the most severe cases. Where carpeting and other floorcoverings are installed, the materials and condition of the flooring underneath cannot be determined.

Areas hidden from view by finished walls or stored items cannot be judged and are not a part of the walkthrough.

FOUNDATION:

10.1 TYPE:Slab on grade - Refers to a concrete slab

poured at grade level. Some slabs are withsteel reinforcement. Some with wire meshreinforcement.

10.2 FOUNDATION SLAB:Monolithic slab as viewed from common observation appears to be performing as intended. It needs to

be understood that a slab foundation can not be adequately inspected due to floor coverings. There isalways a possibility that significant cracks can go unseen.

INTERIORS:

Walk-through survey of living space includes the visually accessible areas of walls, floors, cabinets and closets, andthe testing of a representative number of windows and doors, switches and outlets. We do not evaluate windowtreatments, move furnishings or possessions, lift carpets or rugs, empty closets or cabinets, nor comment oncosmetic deficiencies. Floor covering damage or stains may be hidden by furniture, and the condition of floorsunderlying floor coverings may go unnoted. Determining the condition of insulated glass windows is not alwayspossible due to temperature, weather and lighting conditions. Check with owners for further information. Testing,identifying, or identifying the source of environmental pollutants or odors (including but not limited to lead, mold,allergens, odors from household pets and cigarette smoke) is beyond the scope of our service, but can becomeequally contentious or difficult to eradicate.
