             It is readily apparent that, in every case, Mr. Brown                    
             selected a fair market value per square foot that is                     
             roughly equivalent to the value of the comparable sales in               
             1987 and is substantially below the value of the comparable              
             sales in 1982 and 1983.  In doing so, we believe that                    
             Mr. Brown gave undue weight to the comparable sales in 1987              
             that took place after the value of the subject properties                
             had "declined sharply".                                                  
                  For the above reasons, in comparing the fair market                 
             value of the property and the principal amount of the debt,              
             we will treat the amount set forth in the contemporaneous                
             appraisal of the property made by Mr. Lang as the fair
