Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 To Whom It May Concern, The building and land owned by Sun Mountain Realty, LLC, located at 140 Commerce Drive, Berthoud CO 80513 (Account R7533799), Weld County has been valued as follows for the past several years: 2007/2008 = $3,463,360 2009/2010 = $3,463,360 Our parcel size is 10 acres and in each of these four years the land was valued by the County at $435,594 and the building improvements were valued at $3,027,766. With the building square feet of 100,943, this equates to an assessed value of $34.31 per square foot. On 5/1 /11 , I received the 2011 Notice of Valuation. On this NOV, the assessor valued our property at $5,047, 150 as of 6/30/10—an increase of $1 ,583,790 or nearly 46% and up to $50.00 per square foot. Knowing that we are in a down economy, and that commercial real estate values in the county are down during the assessment period, I was shocked by this increase. Coupled with the mill levy increase for 2011 , I estimated that this NOV increase would add over $50,000 to my company's annual Real Estate Tax bill. I immediately called Wade Melies, the Property Appraiser, and scheduled an appointment with him to appeal the valuation. I met with Mr. Melies on 5/3/11 at the County Assessor's office. At this meeting, Mr. Melies presented two comparable property sales within the legal assessment period: • Comp #1 presented by Mr. Melies was Account R6926398, a property located at 9586 1-25 East Frontage Road in Longmont. Mr. Melies stated that this property was similar to our property at Sun Mountain Realty, LLC, and that it sold 12/23/09 for $10,037,500, or $79.51 per square foot. He referenced a previous sale of this property on 11/28/05 for $7,350,000, or $58.22 per square foot. The 2009 sale indicated a 36% increase over the previous sale in 2005, and Mr. Melies stated, "this proves that the commercial real estate market in the county is up". He initially stated that this, coupled with the higher sale price per square foot, was his part of his justification for raising our property valuation for 201 1 . ■ Comp #2 presented by Mr. Melies was Account R0158001 , a property located at 4120 Specialty Place (I believe also in Longmont). Mr. Melies stated that this property was similar to our property at Sun Mountain Realty, LLC, and that it sold 12/11/09 for $7,595,000, or $58.73 per square foot. He then referenced a 5/29/07 sale of this same property for $7,200,000, or $55.68 per square foot. The 2009 sale indicated about a 6% increase over the previous sale in 2007, and again Mr. Melies indicated that this illustrated that commercial property values were up in the county, and the higher price per square foot and again justified this for our increase. At this, I asked Mr. Melies why our property increased 46% and these properties increased sa e over sale 36% and 6% respectively. I also challenged both of these comps as superior in construction (masonry versus our metal) and in location. Mr. Melies agreed that both of these comps were "not apples to apples" with our property, and were in superior locations to our rural location. As I challenged this, he produced a photocopy page (I had provided him during an appeal in 2009) from an appraisal our firm had done in 2008 for bank financing. During this discussion, he asked me several times "what was your appraisal value?". He said he found this page in our file and that it stated that our property should be valued at $50.00 per square foot. I immediately referenced that this valuation was for bank financing, and that it was outside of the legal assessment time window and could not be used. He stated to me, "I made a mistake on your 2009/2010 valuation and I am correcting that now with your higher 2011 valuation." I expressed that I did not think that this was legal for him to do, and that I would research this and do everything I possible could to appeal and correct his valuation, up to and including a new third party appraisal. This ended the meeting 5/3/11 . I completed my own research on the comps that Mr. Melies provided, and other sale comps in the County during the legal assessment time range. I set another meeting time with Mr. Melies to present my findings. We met again on 5/17/11 at the County Assessor's office. My presentation included: • A discussion of his Comp #1 . After further review, the "Comparable Sale" report that Mr. Melies presented to me at our first meeting indicated that this building, Account R6926398, had been completely remodeled in 2008 for a solar manufacturer. At learning this, Mr. Melies invited me to his cubicle to pull up the relevant information about this comp. The information on his computer screen indicated that over $4,000,000 in improvements were made to this building in 2008, between the first sale in 2005 and the comparable sale in 2009. I stated that this clearly explained the 36% increase in sale price between the two sales—the remodeling increased the value not the market. I also presented to Mr. Melies that the land value for this property was valued by the County in the 2011 NOV at over $130K per acre, versus our $43K per acre. I also stated that this building was full masonry, two story and this construction would be at a much higher price per square foot that our metal building. I stated that with all of this evidence, this was not a reasonable comp to justify our property value increase. ■ A discussion of his Comp #2. After further research, I learned that this property sits on over 30 acres. The land value for this property was valued by the County in the 2011 NOV at over $90K per acre, versus our $43K per acre. I stated that this combined with the more than triple land size versus our land size, and the 2 story masonry construction would add significant dollars per square foot to the property versus our property. This would explain a sale price at $58 per square foot versus our historical valuations of $34 per square foot. • I presented several other comparable sales that I found in the County, during the lega assessment time range (see Exhibit A). These are all metal frame buildings like ours, and of generally similar size and land size. These all sold for between $24 and $29 per square foot. I made my own adjustments for location and land values, and presented adjusted valuations for these properties at between $22 and $31 per square foot. • I then presented a copy of the "Parcel Valuation" for Account R7537399 located in the same industrial park as our property (see Exhibit B). This building is metal frame, very similar size to our building, and sits on just over 13 acres versus our 10 acres. Mr Melies valued this property at $3,090,000 or $30.00 per square foot in his 2011 NOV, versus our $50.00 per square foot, 46% increase. He valued the land value for this property at exactly equal to our land valuation. I know that this is not a sale comp, but when I presented this to Mr. Melies he stated that this building was different than ours, lower quality HVAC, with one end of the building open and secured only by a chain. I stated that the business in this building was a customer of ours and that we had been in the building numerous times. It is not open on one end, and it is very similar to our building in construction. I asked why he would value this property in our same industria park at $30.00 per square foot, yet value ours at $50.00 per square foot. I showed him a sale of this building in 2005 for $2,425,000 that justified the $30.00 per square foot valuation that it had received from the County for several years. He stated that "maybe I made a mistake on valuing this property, and that I should increase it." • I then presented Mr. Melies with a copy of our costs of construction for the building, about $3M, not including the land (see Exhibit C). I suggested this as a "cost" approach to valuation, and stated that construction costs are down during the legal assessment time range due to the down economy. After all of these challenges, Mr. Melies stated, "I admit, I used your previous appraisal, at least partly to justify my valuation increase". He stated that "I valued all metal frame buildings at about $50 per square foot." I stated again that I found three comps which sold during the assessment time range at between $24 and $29 per square foot, and that were valued by the County at between $24 and $30 per square foot in the 2011 NOV. I stated that I felt what he was doing to us with the increase in valuation was not legal, that his increase is not based on sale comps, income or cost and using our old third party appraisal from 2008 is outside of the legal assessment time range. The commercial real estate market in the County is down since this appraisal, and the cost of construction is down as well. I again stated that I would continue to fight this including obtaining a new third party appraisal if necessary to defend our business. This ended the meeting. I received the final NOV from Mr. Melies on about 7/1 /11 . He reduced his valuation of our property from $5,047, 150 to $4,340,549. The 4,340,549 is still an $877, 189 increase over the 2009/2010 valuation, an increase of over 25%. The $4,340,549 valuation is $43.00 per square foot. I obtained a third party appraisal (see attached}, with a valuation as of 6/30/10, the legal assessment date. This appraisal came in at $3,745,000, or $37. 10 per square foot. I respectfully request that our 2001 valuation be adjusted to this number.

' The subject neighborhood is approximately 30 miles long in a north/south direction and one mile wide in an east/west direction and focuses primarily on new industrial park development on ' either side of Interstate 25. While the boundaries of the subject neighborhood appear broad, we believe this area best reflects areas that compete with the subject property. Zoning: ' Zoning within the subject neighborhood consists of a mix of agriculture, residential, commercial and industrial zoning districts. A review of land use along Interstate 25 in the subject neighborhood shows that residential, commercial, and industrial developments are occurring; ' however, the commercial and industrial developments tend to be focused more on the areas surrounding Interstate 25 exits with the residential development occurring around the peripheries ' of these areas. As it relates to the subject development, according to the Town of Johnstown, the Gateway Center has its own zoning district called the Gateway District, which permits commercial and industrial development. Most types of industrial/warehouse developments are permitted, including manufacturing and distribution facilities. The Industrial zoning is very broad, allowing ' any of the uses permitted in the Tourist, Business, or Commercial zoning, except for single family and multi-family residences. It will also allow any industrial or manufacturing operation, provided dust, fumes, odor, smoke, vapor, moisture, and vibrations are effectively maintained within the boundaries of the industrial district. Based on a review of other industrial parks in the subject neighborhood, similar type commercial and industrial developments are permitted. ' Flood Zone Based on confirmations with Weld County, portions of the subject neighborhood are located ' within flood hazard areas; however, according to the Town of Johnstown, the subject subdivision is not located in a flood hazard area. ' Access There is easy access to the subject neighborhood from Interstate 25 and the exits providing access to the individual business parks and municipalities with locations on either side of ' Interstate 25. Utilities ' All public utilities are available to the subject neighborhood including water, sewer, gas, electricity, and telephone. Summary ' In summary, the subject is in a mixed-use neighborhood with convenient access to Interstate 25. The current national economic slowdown has affected the local economy as demand has decreased, causing increased vacancies and lower lease rates.

(Ord. 526, 1996) SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Assessment & Zoning Page 32 Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants I I Northern Colorado Market Conditions IThe decline of commercial sales began in late 2007 and early 2008. Typical marketing time was six months to a year prior to the current economic down turn. The following charts include data ' from the competing markets in Northern Colorado. This chart shows the drastic decline in the dollar volume and number of sales for all improved ' commercial properties in the market area.

SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Northern Colorado Market Conditions Page 34 Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants Highest and Best Use 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.' Inherent in this definition is that the use must be physically possible, legally permissible, financially feasible, and maximally productive. These criteria are usually considered ' sequentially and each parcel will be considered separately. Physical Considerations ' • Site topography, infrastructure and location are appropriate for the development of most any use allowed by zoning. • All public utilities (water, sewer, electric, natural gas, and telephone) are in-place to the subject site. • Flood hazard or environmental hazard does not impact the property. There are no other physical constraints that limit the site's highest and best use, as vacant. • The subject has good access to Interstate 25 and the surrounding Northern Colorado communities of Loveland, Longmont, Fort Collins and Denver. ' Legal/Political Considerations • The subject property is currently zoned Johnstown 'Gateway District'. The current use of ' light industrial manufacturing facility with showroom is a legal use of the site. • The property is not negatively impacted by utility easements, flood hazard, or environmental hazard (see Assumptions and Limiting Conditions). Economic Feasibility ' • The subject is a 100,943 square foot metal building configured as a manufacturing facility and as it relates to maximal productivity, the current use is an economic and feasible use of the site. • In addition, there is a 2,552 square foot mezzanine office may have use for some purchasers. The mezzanine does not contain any plumbing. ' Highest and Best Use as Vacant The Highest and Best Use as vacant is development with a light industrial building for uses such ' as manufacturing, warehouse and research and development. Highest and Best Use as Improved A Highest and Best Use as Improved is the existing use as light industrial manufacturing with retail showroom and office space. ' The Appraisal of Real Estate 12'"Ed.,2001,page 305. SHANNON & ASSOCIATES I lghest and Best Use Page 35 Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants Approaches to Value Professional Appraisal Practice customarily includes the Cost, Income, and Sales Comparison Approaches to Value to develop a final value estimate. The Cost Approach The Cost Approach involves estimating the current reproduction or replacement cost of improvements and subtracting the depreciation from all causes, as of the date of the appraisal. The estimated value of the land is then added to the depreciated cost of the improvements. The land value is developed through comparing recent sales of similar vacant parcels to the subject site, "as vacant" and available to be put to its Highest and Best Use. The estimates of replacement costs are based on the various services and knowledge of the local market. The Income Approach The Income Approach to Value converts a stream of net income into an indication of value by use of a Capitalization Rate (Direct Capitalization) or a Discount Rate (Yield Capitalization, i.e., Discounted Cash Flow Analysis). The estimate of economic rent, defined as rent a property would demand if it were available for lease as of the date of the appraisal, is used to develop the potential gross annual income. In the Income and Expense Statement, deductions are made for operating expenses, vacancy and collection losses to derive a Net Operating Income. Through analysis of comparable sales and/or examination of the financial market, a Capitalization Rate is calculated. Net Income divided by the Capitalization Rate indicates value by the Income Approach. Sales Comparison Approach One of the best indications of the "Market Value" of a property is the Sales Comparison Approach found by comparing recent sales of other similar properties to the subject and is defined as: "A comparative approach to value that considers the sales of similar or substitute properties and related market data and establishes a value estimate by processes involving comparison. In general, a property being valued (a subject property) is compared with sales of similar properties that have been transacted in the open market. Listings and offerings may also be considered. A general way of estimating a value indication for personal property or an ownership interest in personal property, using one or more methods that compare the subject to similar properties or to ownership interests in similar properties. This approach to the valuation of personal property is dependent upon the Valuer's market knowledge and experience as well as recorded data on comparable items."2 2 Appraisal Institute,The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal,5th ed.(Chicago:Appraisal Institute,2010] SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Approaches to Value Page 36 Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants The use of one or more of these techniques may be determined by the quantity or quality of data available. In some instances, depending upon the type of property under appraisement or the purpose of the appraisal, one or two of the approaches may carry more weight or may furnish a ' more reliable indication of value than the others. In other instances, because of use, age, design, obsolescence or inadequacy of data, one may be accorded little weight in a correlation of the approaches into a final value estimate. Exhibits are used in each approach to describe sales data ' and justify required adjustments. For vacant land, when good comparables are available, the Sales Comparison Approach provides ' the most reliable estimate of value. Final Reconciliation ' The appraisal process concludes with the Final Reconciliation of the values derived from the approaches applied for a single estimate of market value. Different properties require different means of analysis and therefore one approach may be more reliable than the others. Analyses Applied ' A cost analysis was developed because there is adequate data to develop a land value and the depreciation accrued to the improvements can be reasonably measured. A sales comparison analysis was developed because there is adequate data to develop a value estimate and this approach reflects market behavior for this property type. The analysis of this report will utilize sales prices per square foot. ' An income analysis was developed as the property is subject to a long term lease and comparable leases are available to check the validity of the subject lease. 1 SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Approaches to Value Page 37 Real Estate Appraisers K Consultants The Cost Approach Our inspection of the subject demonstrated that the subject was constructed using modern materials, methods and construction techniques It shows no evidence of non curable functional obsolescence, although not all potential users would need the addition of the mezzanine office space. The first step in the cost approach is to estimate the value of the land as approved with all development requirements met and all off-site development costs included. The costs of landscaping and site development are added at a later point in the cost approach along with the reproduction cost of the building. Land Value Estimate To estimate market value of the subject sites, a survey was made of land sales and offerings in the subject and competing neighborhoods. Details of each sale are presented in the individual descriptions on the following pages. The sales are cash equivalent, arms-length transactions. The comparable land sales map identifies the location of each in relation to the subject site. Following the detail pages and the location map is an adjustment table and discussion of methodology employed in adjusting the comparables to develop an indication of value for subject site.

The Quantity Survey Method is the most comprehensive and most accurate way of estimating replacement cost for many real estate projects. It is the method used by contractors in determining the quantity and quality of each type of material used, estimating labor hours required, and applying unit costs of the material and labor, in addition to all other direct and indirect costs. Marshall Valuation Service provides three methods of estimating replacement cost, the Calculator Method, Segregated Cost or Unit-In-Place Method, and Comparative Cost Indexes. The Calculator Method utilizes average square meter, square foot, or cubic foot costs for typical buildings in a variety of categories. These unit values are then multiplied by the building area to estimate value. The Unit-in-Place Method, also known as the Segregated Cost Method, is based on the unit prices of various building components. Component costs are assembled to estimate the entire cost of the improvements. The Comparative Method is utilized by comparing costs of recently constructed, similar buildings to the appraised property after converting them to a common unit of comparison such as the price per square foot, and updating the original figure to today's costs by using published indexes and multipliers. For this analysis, the Calculator Method per square foot, utilizing the Marshall Valuation Service adjusted for local variables will be utilized. Calculator Method The Marshall Valuation Service has five classifications of construction. Class A is structural steel columns and beams, Class B is reinforced concrete, Class C is masonry or concrete load bearing walls, Class D is frame construction and Class S is for metal buildings. The existing subject building is a Class S building. For quality finish, Marshall Valuation has four categories for each construction type: low cost, average, good, and excellent. The building is of Good quality as described in the Marshall Valuation Service. The Marshall Valuation Cost Service was utilized and is included at the end of this section. The cost estimate has been adjusted to reflect "multipliers" for the subject's size-shape ratio, story height, location modifier, and current cost update. Site improvements include parking, landscaping and lighting. SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Cost Approach Page 48 Heal Estate Appraisers & Consultants I I Entrepreneurial Incentive IEntrepreneurial incentive (e.g., developer's profit) is the incentive for the owner/investor to participate in the real estate. It is the developer's reward for undertaking the risk of constructing I a project. Returns range depending on size, project type, and market acceptance. In analyzing the property's replacement cost, we conclude a typical profit to be 8.0%.

It is based on the principles of supply and demand, balance, substitution and externalities. The following steps describe the applied process of the Sales Comparison Approach. • The market in which the subject property competes is investigated; comparable sales, ' contracts for sale and current offerings are reviewed. • The most pertinent data is further analyzed and the details of the transaction are analyzed. • The most meaningful unit of comparison for the subject property is determined. ' • Each comparable sale is analyzed and where appropriate, adjusted to equate with the subject property. • The value indication of each comparable sale is analyzed and the data reconciled for a final indication of value via the Sales Comparison Approach. ' Comparables ' We have researched sales of light industrial properties in the market area. There are three properties that are most comparable, and are documented on the following pages followed by a location map and analysis grid. All sales have been researched through numerous sources, inspected and verified by a party to the transaction.

Financing Terms All of the sales involved cash or terms equal to cash. No adjustments were necessary. Conditions of Sale All of the sales are confirmed arm's-length market transactions with no special conditions, motivations, or undue stimulus affecting the sales price. No adjustments were needed. Market Conditions From about 2002 until August 2007, the Northern Colorado commercial market was experiencing a vibrant growth cycle including several new developments, increasing rents, decreasing capitalization rates, and increasing land and improved values. Current conversations with several commercial brokers active in this market and other indicators such as, increasing capitalization rates and lulls in sales activity all indicate zero appreciation or negative growth from about midyear 2007. It is hard to quantify the significance of the growth and decline of the commercial markets; the market condition adjustments are based primarily on anecdotal evidence from brokers and also on the negative disparity between listing prices and actual sale prices and records in our company files. Based on our research we apply a -15.0% annual adjustment of all sales prior to December 31, 2009.

This approach can be processed via a direct capitalization technique or a discounted cash flow analysis. For the subject property the direct capitalization approach is the most appropriate. Direct Capitalization Approach ' The income capitalization approach develops indications of value based on the anticipated income. Rent, vacancy, operating expenses, and capitalization rates are needed to estimate value by the income capitalization approach. The projected income and expenses for the subject ' property are based on information from the subject and from properties of similar age, size, and condition. The market and actual information is used to develop an estimate of how much ' income the subject property can produce. A capitalization rate is then applied to the net operating income to develop an indicated value of the subject property. ' The income capitalization approach involves following steps. • Research and analyze market leases; • Estimate Fair Market(economic) Rent for the subject property; • Estimate expenses to calculate the Net Operating Income; • Develop market capitalization rate; • Divide the net operating income by the capitalization rate for an indication of value for the subject. Subject The subject is a leased industrial manufacturing facility located at 140 Commerce Road.

Overall Capitalization Rate ' An overall capitalization rate (capitalization rate) is used to convert net income into value. The rate reflects the relationship between 1 year's net operating income and the corresponding value. Capitalization rates were derived from two sources including: • Investor surveys • Band of Investment Analysis National and Regional Surveys National Data for capitalization and discount rates are found in ' the Korpacz survey and regional rates are found in the Burbach and Associates Survey. The results of the rate survey in the region are shown as follows.

Permanent financing for industrial properties includes interest rates ranging from 6% to 7%, loan-to-value ratios ranging from 60% to 70%, amortization periods ranging from 15 to 25 years, typically 20 years. Acceptable returns on the equity position for this type of property currently range from 7.0 to 8.0%. For this analysis, the assumptions for the subject property are as follows: 6.5% mortgage rate • 70% Loan to Value (i.e., 30% down payment) • 20 year amortization • 8.0% return on equity. Using the above mortgage parameters shown on the previous page, the estimated capitalization rate for the subject property, via the Band of Investment Method is shown in the following chart. The mortgage constant is the amount required to repay the principal plus interest within the term of the mortgage: Capitalization Rate Calculations I I Capitalization Rate Variables Mortgage Interest Rate 6.50% Loan Term (Years) 20 Loan To Value Ratio 70% Debt Coverage Ratio 1.25 Equity Dividend Rate 8.00% Band of Investment Analysis Mortgage Constant Loan Ratio Contributions 0.089468776 x 70.% = 6.26% Equity Dividend Rate Equity Ratio 8.00% x 30.% = 2.40% Band of Investment Capitalization Rate 8.66% I I I SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Income Comparison Page 70 Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants Conclusion (Capitalization Rate Analysis) The Burbach and Associates indicated capitalization rates for the Denver area range is 7.0% to 10% and the Korpacz National Survey rates range from 6.00% to 12%.

The State of Colorado as a whole saw total jobs decline from 2000 through 2003. However, that trend reversed in 2004, and the state experienced gradual, 1 consistent job growth from 2004 through 2006. The Fort Collins/Loveland MSA outperformed 1 the state over the same time period with a steady increase in total number of employed in each year from 1996 through 2005. Overall employment in Northern Colorado has increased by 55% since 1991. In October 2008 I Mr. Martin Shields (Regional Economist at Colorado State University) predicted that employers would add 2.2% new jobs in Northern Colorado in 2009 in spite of the national economic downturn. This 2.2% increase translated to a prediction of 4,000 new jobs. By comparison, the State of Colorado's employment has climbed only 0.3% since 2001. After the national economy experienced a sharp decline in the fall of 2008, CSU Professor Martin Shields and his colleague David Keyser issued revised employment forecasts in January 2009 that projected regional job totals will only grow a minimal 0.1 percent in 2009, translating into approximately 230 new jobs. This is down from the 4,000 new jobs they initially forecasted for 2009 in October 2008. Using the job/housing ratio of 0.64 new single-family homes per job, leads to an estimated demand of 147 new homes in Larimer and Weld Counties. I "While we knew the national recession would affect Northern Colorado, our earlier numbers did not anticipate the sheer magnitude of the problems that have emerged over an incredibly short time," said Shields in a press release in January 2009. "If there's a bright side, it's that the region is doing significantly better than most other places." The Colorado State University research is substantiated by the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation, who surveyed existing employers that have between 10 and 50 employees. This survey projects that they will create an additional 155 new jobs in the next I three years. Larger employers such as New Belgium Brewing, Anheuser-Busch, Woodward Governor, Agilent Technologies, and Hewlett Packard did not release their hiring plans. Recent articles in local newspapers, such as the Fort Collins Coloradoan, have revealed that Agilent Technologies and Hewlett Packard are in fact reducing their local workforces. In 2008, a Danish company (Vestas) built a wind turbine factory in Windsor. The company cited I the highly educated Northern Colorado workforce as a primary draw to the area. However, the I I SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Northern Colorado Regional Analysis Page 6 Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants (November 2010) 1 original projection of creating 400 to 500 new jobs was overly optimistic, and with the economic ' downturn, Vestas instigated a hiring freeze and is shifted many of its employees to part-time. Other related news is that Colorado has just created a "Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuels" to conduct "world-class" research to develop new biofuels and bio-refining technologies. Partners include Colorado State University, The University of Colorado, Colorado School of Mines, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Funding comes from Conoco, Phillips, Chevron, Dow Chemical, Shell Oil, and other smaller companies. Colorado State University was awarded 9.2 million dollars by the Department of Energy for alternative technology research in 2009. The campus now has 80 faculty members from eight colleges working on energy research. Overall, Northern Colorado has not been immune from the downturn in the national economy. However, the area's highly educated work force, steadier housing market, and focus on green living and design continue to attract large and small employers to the area. This trend will help Northern Colorado's economy remain competitive relative to the rest of the country during the present economic decline. ' Unemployment The Bureau of Labor and Statistics indicated that national unemployment experienced a steady decline from a high of 6.3% in June of 2003 and to 5.5% in June of 2008. However as the tnational economy declined through the second half of 2008, the unemployment rate rose steadily reaching 6.7% by December 2008 and continuing to climb to 10.2% in December 2009. In the first month of 2010, the unemployment rate began to fall and was 9.7%. ' Overall unemployment in the State of Colorado has followed the national trends, with unemployment climbing from 2.5% in January of 2001 to a high of 6.3% in April of 2003. Following this peak, the unemployment rate consistently declined from 2004 through 2007. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.7% for the first six months of 2008, but reflecting the national economic downturn in the later months of the year, rose to 5.8% by December 2008. As ' of December 2009, the unemployment rate had risen to 7.5%.

In Weld County, the health care, retail trade, and construction industries account for 33.7% of the total employees. Regionally, the top five industries are retail trade, educational services, health care, construction and manufacturing accounting for 53.1% of the employees in Northern Colorado. SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Northern Colorado Regional Analysis Page 10 Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants (November 2010) I The national economic downturn has specifically impacted employment in the retail, service and construction industries as people adopt more conservative spending habits and a wait-and-see attitude toward buying and selling real estate. Weld County has been particularly impacted as the retail, service and construction trades, which are bearing the brunt of the economic decline, comprise a significant portion of the employment market. This has resulted in a high number of residential foreclosures, as many find themselves unemployed and unable to pay their mortgages. Larimer County has fared better as it is home to the majority of Northern Colorado's large employers, which has aided in keeping funds flowing between the various business sectors. 2009 reflected low consumer confidence, reduced spending, and increasing unemployment. ' These trends will continue to negatively impact the retail, service and construction sectors in Northern Colorado in 2010, until consumer confidence improves and spending increases. ' Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation The Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation is dedicated to advancing Northern Colorado by retaining talented workers and jobs, marketing Northern Colorado to potential employers looking to relocate or expand, and identifying emerging business and growth opportunities. In 2005, the NCEDC established a goal to create 9,175 new jobs and 170 new businesses in the area by 2010. This effort required an estimated $5,000,000 raised from ' government entities and area businesses. To date, the NCEDC's efforts have aided in bringing 5,777 new jobs to Northern Colorado since 2005. • 1 1 SHANNON & ASSOCIATES Northern Colorado Regional Analysis Page 11 Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants (November 2010) I 1 Residential Land and Development Residential development reflected a period of growth in the early 2000s.

However, the oversupply of space was not reflected in the vacancy rates until 2007, I corresponding with the national economic downturn. With the decline in the economy, the retail industry downsized, which coupled with the new retail space in the market, resulted in a sharp increase in vacancy over the last two years. Retail lease rates have generally increased over the last decade resulting from the influx of new, high quality space. However, lease rates will likely decrease over the next few years until the oversupply is absorbed.
