Estate of Juanita F. Sirmans, Deceased Dan L. Sirmans, Executor - Page 14

                                       - 14 -                                         

             value of the parcel designated folio 3143 was $390,500.                  
             This is the value of that parcel as set forth in                         
             Mr. Fishback's appraisal for Hillsborough County.                        
             Mr. Sirmans concluded that the value of the entire property              
             was $509,259 based upon the fact that the parcel designated              
             folio 3143 was 76.68 percent of the assessed value of the                
             entire tract for property tax purposes (i.e., $390,500 �                 
             76.68 percent).  He concluded that the value of the parcel               
             designated folio 3143.5 was $118,759.  This amount is the                
             difference between the value of the entire tract, $509,259,              
             and the value of the parcel designated folio 3143,                       
             $390,500.  Mr. Sirmans' calculation can be illustrated as                
             follows:                                                                 

                  Folio     Assessed Value  Appraised Value  Estate Value             
                  3143     $362,400 (76.68%)    $390,500     $390,500                 
                  3143.5   110,240 (23.32%)       --          118,759                 
                                                             509,259                  

             According to Mr. Sirmans, the value at which he returned                 
             the subject property for estate tax purposes works out to                
             approximately $200 per acre for the wetland acreage and                  
             approximately $20,000 per acre for the so-called dry land.               
             In passing, we note that the value of the property reported              
             on the subject estate tax return, $509,529, differs
