Attached you will find an appraisal report of a portion of the real property known as 65 Main Street, Ansonia,
Connecticut. 65 Main Street comprises 2.65 acres of land improved with an office building with a parking garage,
parking lot and warehouse. For purposes of this appraisal, only the parking lot area located between the office
building and the warehouse building is included. The estimated land area for the parking lot is is approximately 1.1
acres. A more detailed description of the area, site, improvements and highest and best use is embodied within the
report.
The function and use of this report is to estimate the market value of the fee simple title of the property to assist the
client in a business decision regarding the possible acquisition of the property. There are no other intended uses or
users of the report. The effective date of valuation is current as of May 3, 2017, the date of my most recent
inspection.
The subsequent report was prepared subject to the definitions and factual data stated and subject to the assumptions,
limiting conditions and certificate contained herein. In addition to the general assumptions and limiting conditions
presented later, this report is also subject to the following specific assumptions and conditions:
1. This appraisal and resultant value conclusion(s) give no consideration to the possible existence of any
hazardous materials, (which may have been used in either the construction or maintenance of the property,
including, but not limited to lead-based paint, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, or asbestos) other than
that which may be intrinsically reflected in the sale prices of comparable properties utilized in this report.
The presence of such materials in the environment of the property could substantially impact on the market
value and/or marketability of the subject real estate. This assumption also applies to any soil contamination,
hazardous gases (such as radon), or electromagnetic fields (EMF's) that may emanate from the subject
premises or from sources in proximity to the subject property. It is recommended that experts be retained
for such evaluations, should the client deem it appropriate.
2. Also, this appraisal and resultant value conclusion(s) are based upon the hypothetical condition that the
property is legally subdivided and that all necessary zoning variances are granted to allow the allocation.

This appraisal report of improved land is made with the following general assumptions.
1. No responsibility is assumed for the legal description or for matters including legal or title considerations. Title to the
property is assumed to be good and marketable unless otherwise stated.
2. The property is appraised free and clear of any or all liens or encumbrances unless otherwise stated.
3. Responsible ownership and competent property management are assumed.
4. The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable, however, no warranty is given for its accuracy.
5. All engineering is assumed to be correct. The plot plans and illustrative material in this report are included only to assist
the reader in visualizing the property.
6. The estimate of market value contained in this appraisal report is based upon the specific assumption that the subject
property is not affected by any potentially hazardous materials.
a) Determination of whether or not the subject property is affected by asbestos or other environmental contaminants is
outside the scope of the appraisers' abilities. The fact that the appraiser has ignored any affect upon value of possible
contaminants does not mean that the subject property is not affected by these items. The client is strongly urged to
retain the services of an environmental consultant or similar specialist.
b) It must be noted that if these or other contaminants are found at the subject property, the estimated market value of the
subject property would be materially affected. The existence of the contaminants may well have a significant
downward influence upon market value. A reasonable estimate of negative change in market value would be the cost
to remove the contaminants, plus the cost to restore the condition of the land or building, plus an economic reward for
entrepreneurial effort.
7. It is assumed that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and laws
unless noncompliance is stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report.
8. It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with, unless a
nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report.
9. It is assumed that all required licenses, certificates of occupancy, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority
from any local, state or national government or private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for
any use on which the value estimate contained in this report is based.
10. It is assumed that the utilization of the land and improvements is within the boundaries or property lines of the property
described and that there is no encroachment or trespass unless noted in the report.
11. The distribution, if any, of the total valuation in this report between land and improvements applies only under the stated
program of utilization. The separate allocations for land and buildings must not be used in conjunction with any other
appraisal and are invalid if so used.
12. Possession of this report, or a copy thereof, does not carry with it the right of publication. It may not be used for any
purpose by any person other than the party to whom it is addressed without the written consent of the appraiser, and in any
event only with proper written qualification and only in its entirety.
13. The appraiser herein by reason of this appraisal is not required to give further consultation, testimony, or be in attendance
in court with reference to the property in question unless arrangements have been previously made.
14. Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value, the identity of the appraiser,
or the firm with which the appraiser is connected) shall be disseminated to the public through advertising, public relations,
news, sales, or other media without the prior written consent and approval of the appraiser.
The function and use of this report is to estimate the market value of the fee simple title of the property to assist the client in a
business decision regarding the possible acquisition of the property. There are no other intended uses or users of the report.

Town Description

Real Estate Appraiser, LLC
65 Main Street, Ansonia, CT
Page 9
Ansonia was founded in 1844 primarily as a manufacturing type community and is noted for its historical industrial base along
the Naugatuck River. The municipal downtown area experienced redevelopment in the 1950's after the 1955 flood with the
primary impact along the south section of Main Street. The northern end of Main Street for the most part has remained
unchanged but has been undergoing a revitalization of the existing structures. The primary industrial area of Ansonia is still
located along Route 115 with some recent development along Division Street and Pershing Drive. Fountain Lake Industrial
Park located off Route 8 has attracted some development over the past few years.
The town encompasses 6.2 square miles and has an overall population of 19,188 (2012). The population growth rate has been
declining the past three decades following moderate growth in the 1960's and 70's. Changes in the population during the past
four decades are reflected as follows:
1980: 19,039
1990: 18,403
2000: 19,163
2010: 18,531
2020: 20,170
Projections for the next 5 years indicate the same low to negative growth rate. This can be attributed to the fact that the town is
relatively built up with little land available for residential development.
Although the population growth since the 1970's has been minimal, housing units have increased modestly over the past
decade. This was caused by an increase in household numbers and the popularity and development of condominiums. Many
single member households were developed in this period. Over the years, the town has lured an upwardly mobile population.
Ansonia is part of the Bridgeport/Stamford Labor Market Area. The March 2017 unemployment rate in Ansonia is 7.2%,
which is higher than the State Average of 5.1% and the LMA average of 5.0%. Most of the city's employment is located
within the central business districts outlined above. The largest employers in Ansonia include Farrell Corporation, Stop &
Shop, Big Y Super Market and Target. Due to the decline in the industry, some of the larger regional employers have been
downsizing.
Commercial development is concentrated along Main Street and through Division Street. Like many of the communities
located within the Naugatuck Valley area, the Main Street area has lost some of its commercial vitality. Primary commercial
centers with the exception of the Big Y have been displaced from the downtown area to other areas of the Naugatuck Valley
such as Route 34 and Division Street. These sectors do not significantly draw from surrounding communities; however, they
are quite adequate for its population. Regional centers such as the Connecticut Post Mall in Milford and the Trumbull
Shopping Mall in Trumbull are readily accessible via primary inter-city arteries with relatively short commute times. It should
be noted, however, that the "Big Y' has recently completed a new super store on the site of the former Ansonia Mall and
Target has built a store along West Main Street.
One of the towns decided assets is the excellent network of highways, which facilitate travel to and from the area. Route 8
traverses Ansonia in a north south direction with entry-exit points strategically placed. This highway provides direct access to
Bridgeport, Interstate 95 and upper Fairfield County to the south and to Waterbury and Interstate 84 in the north. Route 343
provides direct access to New Haven and Interstate 91. Access to Route 34 is located a short distance from Ansonia in Derby.
The Metro North Railroad System provides passenger rail service between Waterbury and Bridgeport. Trailer and flatbed
service is available in Bridgeport. The Sikorsky Memorial Airport is located on the Bridgeport -Stratford town line and
provides regular secondary passenger service and cargo service on a daily basis. The airport also has landing and service
facilities for corporate aircraft and offers charter service. The air terminal is a modem facility with a restaurant, lounge, control
tower and weather station. Tweed new Haven Airport is situated on the New Haven-East Haven town line and provides
similar services. The Oxford Airport provides limited commercial and passenger jet service.

Neighborhood Description
The subject property is located in the north end of Main Street, which is the central business district of Ansonia. The area
boundaries extend north south along Main Street (Route 215) from Maple Street through Division Street extending easterly
and westerly on East Main Street and West Main Street, respectively. The north end of Main Street has experienced a
resurgence of commercial growth with recent openings of retail and restaurants on the ground level. Much of the older, upper
floor office space was converted to apartments enhancing the energy of the neighborhood.

Highest and best use is defined as "the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is
physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. The definition implies
two factors. First, when considering highest and best use, the use of the land as though vacant and the use of the land with
existing improvements are estimated separately and may in fact vary. Secondly, it is implied that the highest and best use is an
opinion, which represents the premise upon which value is based.
The analysis process of determining highest and best use insures that the use meets four criteria that are (1) legally
permissible, (2) physically possible, (3) financially feasible, and (4) maximally productive. In testing highest and best use, all
logical alternatives should be considered in the above sequential order. Inherent in the process of determining highest and best
use is an understanding of current market demands and area trends. Knowledge of economic needs of an area related to supply
and demand factors is crucial to attaining financial feasibility. Thus, highest and best use is a market driven concept.
Highest and best use of the subject site as though vacant: The subject site is located in the north end of the central business
district within the City Central overlay zone. The permitted uses include a wide variety of commercial development that fits
within the current Main Street establishment of retail and apartments.
The land appears physically possible for development based upon topography, availability of utilities, etc. There has been an
increase in demand for housing within the CBD with substantive renovations taking place along Main Street including new
restaurants and mixed-use apartments. There are also a number of developments within the CBD in the planning stages.
In my opinion, future commercial and or mixed use development would represent the highest and best use of the site as though
vacant.

Approaches to Value
All three traditional approaches to value were considered for this appraisal. The Cost Approach is a reliable indicator of
property value when properties are of new or relatively new construction, proposed construction, or for special purpose
properties and other properties that are not frequently exchanged in the market. The Cost Approach has limitations when land
value and depreciation are difficult to estimate. In this case, there are minimum improvements. Consequently, the Cost
Approach is not applicable and is not developed in this appraisal assignment. The land value is determined in the Sales
Comparison Approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach is developed within this report. Although the quality of data is rated only average, there are a
sufficient number of market transactions within the surrounding market area for credible analyses. The sales utilized in this
report are considered reliable indicators of value.
The Income Capitalization Approach is not developed. Sufficient market data pertaining to rental rates, vacancy and collection
loss, and operating expenses are not available in order to develop a reliable estimate of net operating income for the subject
property. Land in this area is not typically leased. Participants will generally put most weight on the Sales Comparison
Approach.
Reconciliation is required when the value conclusions derived from the approaches typically provide a value range. The
reconciliation process takes into consideration the appropriateness, accuracy, quality and quantity of market data available
within each valuation approach. The final opinion of value is based upon the weighted consideration of the results.
The sales comparison approach is predicated on the assumption that the informed, prudent purchaser would pay no more for a
property than the cost of acquiring another property with the same utility. This approach is traditionally given the most weight
by appraisers when adequate sales data is available as it directly reflects the actions of buyers and sellers in the market.
The procedure followed by the appraiser is to gather information on the properties in the subject area that have sold recently
and are highly similar in utility to the subject property. The sales are then analyzed and adjustments made to reflect for
differences, such as size and condition, between the sales and subject property. These adjustments are based upon market
extractions or the judgment of the appraiser as to the reactions and desires of a typical purchaser when it is not possible to
make a market extraction
My investigation of this area produced the land sales shown on the following pages. These sales are those considered most
comparable to the subject and the most reliable indications of the value of the subject property. They do not represent every
building sale in this area.

Adjustment Factors
Property Rights Conveyed Adjustments are sometimes considered when properties sell subject to existing leases. The
leased fee estate, leasehold interest and fee simple interest in real property are adjusted
according to variations in market rent for improved space, ground rent, etc.
All sales sold in fee simple title subject to market rate leases where applicable.
Marketing Conditions All sales transacted under similar marketing conditions obviating this adjustment.
Financing Conditions Adjustment are made when a seller provides financing at non-market terms or if there is an
assumption of existing financing at non-market terms.
Conditions of Sale Adjustments are made to account for extraordinary motivations of buyers or sellers.
Examples of these are forced or distressed sales, 1031 exchanges, assemblage, etc.
Location: Adjustments for location may be required when location characteristics of a sale property
differ from the subject. Adjustments for zoning, land use and surrounding land use
influences, access and exposure are sometimes made under location or can be itemized
separately depending on the appraisal problem or assignment.

Sales Conclusion
The four sales analyzed produced an adjusted unit price range of $5.45 to $11.73 per sq. ft. of land. Sale #1 was weighted
more heavily than the other three sales due to its location on Main Street. After making all of the necessary adjustments, it is
my opinion that the indicated value of the subject property, via the Sales Comparison Approach is $7.50 per square foot of
land or $360,000 (RD).
Reconciliation
All three approaches to value were considered for this appraisal. The value conclusions arrived in each approach are
summarized as follows:
In consideration of the above, solel weight was given to the value arrived at in the d Sales Comparison Approache in arriving
at a final estimate of value for the subject property. It is my opinion, that the fee simple market value of the subject property,
as of May 3, 2017, was $360,000.
