               Kidder/Kirby valued the Parker Property using the discounted           
          cash-flow approach.  In determining the reversionary value                  
          element of the discounted cash-flow approach, Kidder/Kirby used             
          the comparable sales approach.                                              
               Table 7 shows Atkinson’s, Hulberg’s, and Kidder/Kirby’s                
          valuation of the Parker Property under their respective                     
          approaches.

          Conclusion             600,000     1,460,000      940,000 to

               Atkinson made many of the same errors in valuing the Parker            
          Property as he did with the Lafayette Property.  Hulberg relied             
          on one such error.                                                          
               In his income approach, Hulberg treated the tenant on the              
          Parker Property as “holding over on a month-to-month tenancy.”              
          He based this on Atkinson’s report, which does indeed make this             



          20(...continued)                                                            
               date.  In addition, potential purchasers of older                      
               properties rarely, if ever, estimate the value of                      
               potential purchases utilizing the depreciated cost                     
               method; purchasers for similar properties typically                    
               consider only the market and income approaches.  When                  
               the cost approach is used, it is typically used to                     
               ascertain the feasibility of new construction.
