Feasibility is contingent upon all approvals, permits, and licenses having beenobtained. The site itself presents some unique opportunities:

• Highway US 1 (South Dixie Highway) has good traffic at the site locationwith 285 feet of highway frontage

• Signage should be proposed on Highway US-1.• There is an abundance of vacant land fronting Highway US-1 that could

potentially be developed for self-storage; however, the Subject would notbe out-positioned unless development occurred directly across the streetfrom Subject. Additionally, it is unlikely the vacant land is affordable forself-storage development.

• Population density is good in this market• The subject site is zoned "I", Light Industrial which is adequate for self-

storage development.

GENERALTHE SELF STORAGE MARKET

The demand for self-storage space continues to grow as the populationincreases. This is primarily due to affordable residential real estate prices andstrong employment. Current construction standards in Florida, which include nobasements and limited attic space, doesn't adequately address the consumer'sneed for storage space, which is met by self-storage facilities, such ascontemplated herein.

There has been a growing trend to construct three car garages in new homeconstruction for families mitigates this demand slightly, however, three cargarages were not evident in this market area. The majority of dwellings in thisarea are estimated to be structures of 1 unit detached (XX%) for the current year.Most of the residential construction in the target market area, (XX%) areestimated to have been constructed in 1999 to present, as was some of the retailand commercial improvements. In the last decade, several multi-family projectshave been built, most notably directly northeast of the Subject property along theFlorida Turnpike on both of the east and west sides, as well as north alongHighway US-1 in Florida City, which gives the area a sense of newness. Asquickly as the demand for self-storage has increased, both nationally and inFlorida, developers have responded quickly to this need, through theconstruction of self-storage facilities. Dade County is no exception.

The consensus in the industry is that the self-storage real estate sector is stable.Several factors, particularly increasing competition...

The self-storage industry is not as well understood as other real estate sectors;however, this is changing. Long considered a non-traditional real estate sector,self-storage has undergone a significant transformation and grown over the lastdecade. The most important development for the industry has been itsacceptance across a broad cross section of investors as a legitimate andattractive real estate investment. At this time the self-storage industry hasgained credibility among a wider circle of potential investors; this is a reflection ofits sound performance.

WHAT IS SELF-STORAGE?

Self-storage facilities, also referred to as self-service storage and mini-warehouses, provide customers with temporary storage space.

Customer Base:

Self-storage is primarily for personal use, with 74.4% of the space being rentedfor residential use by private individuals, 20% rented by business customers,primarily small businesses, 2.7% rented by military personnel, followed by 2.6%rented by students in 2006.

Military 2.7%Students 2.6%

Commercial 20%

Residential 74.4%

Solid growth is indicated in the commercial customer segment for self-storage,which rose from XX% in 2005 to XX% in 2006. The XX% figure marks thehighest level seen since 1995 when commercial tenants made up XX% of themix. This may be in part due to the growth of small businesses. According to theWhite House in April 2006, small businesses now create two out of every threenew jobs and account for nearly half of America's overall employment.

While the overall region or facility characteristics can influence customer base,when located within or adjacent to a residential neighborhood, a self-storagefacility will typically...

The Self-Storage Industry:

The self-storage industry began in the early 1960's, mainly in the SouthwesternUnited States, responding to changing lifestyles; the population had becomemore mobile and the popularity of apartment living and smaller homes arose,increasing the need for temporary storage space. More recently...

The industry today has recovered and has grown in size and popularity. Whatwas once a highly fragmented family run ("mom and pop") industry, the self-storage industry has now attracted a wide variety of investors, including REIT's,which lead the self-storage industry.

The majority of self-storage facilities are concentrated in the...

Self-storage serves an important service, especially given that the U.S.population is on the move. Today's self-storage facilities are dramaticallydifferent than the facilities built in the 1960's and 1970's and even ten years ago.The public real estate market, lower interest rates, and specifically self-storageREIT's are providing much needed capital and creating stronger awareness forthis real estate sector. Much work has been done to increase awareness and thepopularity of the self-storage business as a viable investment option.

Historically low interest rates over the past few years have continued to feed theneed for self-storage among residential users, especially...

With the slowdown in the housing boom, many who would have bought a newhome a year ago are settling instead for apartment living. As a result, thedemand for apartments is soaring; and so are the rents. Another mitigatingfactor is that the supply of apartment rentals tightened even more over the pastyear as many apartments were converted to condominiums. Many of these high-priced condos are now returning to the rental markets as owners struggle to sellthem in a declining market. With apartment and condo rents being sometimespricier than housing, many are seeking out smaller apartments, which of course,offer even less space for storage, making self-storage an ideal alternative.

In Florida,

Units are typically leased on a month-to-month basis, with an average rentalperiod in 2006 of XX months to a residential customer, XX months for acommercial customer, XX months for students and XX months for militarypersonnel.

Just as we now enjoy many modern conveniences

With this growth has come tremendous innovation, such as computerized accessand automated security and even rental kiosk systems. Many facilities haveentered the next era with web sites that allow customers to reserve their unitsand pay their monthly rent online. The role of the facility manager has evolvedfrom someone who just answered phones and rented units to someone who isskilled at technology, marketing, maintenance, and customer service.

Combined, these important operational aspects of the self-storage businessexpand each operator's financial strategies. Ultimately, an operator's financialhealth and flexibility exert a powerful influence on its ability to implement itsoperating model. Thus, both the operational and financial aspects of a particularcompany must be viewed in tandem.

EXIT STRATEGY OR OPPORTUNITY?

There is a wide spread belief that there exists significant opportunity andpotential for further consolidation and business combinations with the self-storage industry in general, and for the five largest owners/operators of self-storage REIT's in particular.

Consult the section of EXIT STRATEGY later in this report for specificconsiderations about the subject property.

OVERBUILDING IN SOME MARKETS IS A PARTICULAR CONCERN

Overbuilding in some areas are more pronounced than in others. During the pastdecade this was an area of particular concern; however, as mentioned earlier inthis report, given the shorter development time frame for self-storage, marketreaction is faster compared to other real estate sectors. Consequently,overbuilding is not as likely a problem and occupancy rates remain high througheconomic cycles.

While some pockets of the United States are clearly overbuilt, or are in theprocess of being overbuilt...

Lenders in some markets are becoming more discriminating about supplyingfinancing and operators are becoming more selective of the sites on which theyplan to build facilities.

Assuming that the self-storage industry is 50 years old with 42,967 facilitiesnationwide, the industry growth rate has been at an average pace of more than800 facilities per year.

SELF-STORAGE MARKET ANALYSIS AND TRENDS

MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS

This section analyzes the trends in a macroeconomic analysis of the market forself-storage warehouse space. The macroeconomic analysis examines trends,which are occurring both nationally and regionally.

More people are using self-storage today than ever before, and more facilitiesare being built than ever before. The industry saw the addition of an estimated1,800 new facilities in 2006, increasing the nation's available square footage bymore than 17%. New development was spurred by consumers' growingawareness of the product, teamed with low interest rates and millions ofhomeowners in transition. Stronger demand from commercial clients also fueledthe industry's expansions.

As shown in the following table, more self-storage space is available to Americanconsumers and businesses than ever before. Nationally the average rentablesquare footage....

The supply index is calculated for each state in the table. To calculate this figure,first the net rentable square footage for each state is divided by the totalpopulation of that state. The resulting number is the square footage per personfor that state. Next, the square footage per person number is divided by thenational average....

This ratio for the state does not include the influx of seasonal or part-timeresidents arriving in Florida during the winter months. These residents mayrequire storage space alongside the year-round residents, driving up demand.The Almanac does not provide details for the markets surrounding the subjectproperty.

Self-Storage Occupancy Levels

Ask three different self-storage owners about their occupancy levels, and youmight get three different answers. One might proudly proclaim that nearly everyunit is rented, and another might tell you how almost every rentable square footare occupied. The third, however, might inform you that, while not every unit wasfull, every rented unit was generating its highest potential income.

Why do industry professionals have such varying views of occupancy? It'ssimply because occupancy can be measured in several different ways.Foremost in many people's minds are physical occupancy; the direct measure ofhow many units are rented. Meanwhile, some owners think in terms of totalsquare footage. For example...

The third way to look at occupancy is form an...

Since economic occupancy is so important, this data should encourage facilityowners and operators to more closely examine their own economic occupancylevels to achieve maximum profits.

As shown in the following table, nationally, physical occupancy held steady atXX% in 2006 compared to the prior year. Economic occupancy trailed thephysical rate of XX%. The Mountain states showed the highest physical andeconomic rates, XX.2% and XX.6%, respectively, while New England recordedthe lowest occupancy rates, with physical occupancy averaging XX.9% andeconomic occupancy averaging XX. 1%

Rental monies provide the essential operating income to maintain the facility, paythe employees, and keep the facility owner in business.

This map shows the extraordinary collection of major thoroughfares that intersectin Florida City; Krome Avenue, the Florida Turnpike, and Highway US 1, whichcarries I-95 traffic from Miami at this point). Unlike the only other place wherethey meet in South Dade County, these thoroughfares intersect at grade inFlorida City.

As a result, traffic must move slowly, allowing motorists to easily access localcommerce. The only two routes into the Florida Keys also converge at this point.Six million automobiles, many of them transporting tourists in a leisure state ofmind, pass through Florida City annually.

Florida City, along with serving as the mainland entrance to the Florida Keys,Florida City also serves as the gateway to the main section of EvergladesNational Park. Motels and eateries are located along Highway US-1 prior totaking the highway south into the Florida Keys.

Historic Overview

The first settlers, originallyfrom Topeka, Kansas, had settled in Homestead but moved out into thewilderness area that became Florida City in 1910. Many southern familiesseeking homesteads followed. In 1913 the Model Land Company from Michiganpurchased 22,000 acres. They advertised heavily in Detroit and attractednortherners to their "Garden of Eden". Detroiters named the area Detroit butapparently became dissatisfied with their purchases. Conflict developed whenthe southern families and the Detroiters moved back north shortly thereafter. In1914 the city was incorporated. The remaining families named it Florida City.

By 1922, Florida City had grown to a population of over 800. The city had a drugstore, a hardware store, and a three story hotel. South of the town was thelargest Ice Plant in the state and a lumber mill; however, most of the towns'economy came from farming. Florida City's limits were extended to BiscayneBay in 1925. Because of its lack of development...

The FloridaFederation of Women Clubs acquired 960 acres from Mrs. Henry M. Flagler and960 acres from the State of Florida for its Royal Palm State Park. In 1921 theState gave them another 2,080 acres. The women operated the Royal PalmLodge where lodging and meals were available, as a means of financing theupkeep.

They also grew Royal Palms for sale 156 of them ended up on Florida City'sPalm Drive in 1922 and others in Homestead on Krome Avenue. After the

MICROECONOMIC MARKET

The subject property is located on Highway US-1 and Commercial Street with385 feet of highway frontage. This location is superior to all other competitorswho are located on side city streets. As mentioned earlier in this Report,Highway US-1 is the 'gateway to the Florida Keys', as the only highway from theFlorida Turnpike, south to the Keys. It is unlikely the subject property could beout-positioned by a new self-storage development, unless the new developmentwas directly across the street from the subject property.

As of the date of this report, a representative of the Dade County Planning andZoning Department confirmed there are no self-storage projects on the books, inany capacity.

MARKET OWNERSHIPThe concept of "Market Ownership" is a question of how many prospectivetenants are possible in the tenant base, not shared with other competitors. Thisis a less than scientific method of determining...

This clearly demonstrates the subject property will share the three and five mileradius with seven competitors. If equal disbursement of the household count isapplied from the demographic report, the subject property would own 100% ofthe one mile radius, 48% of the three mile radius, and 57% of the five mile radius.

SITE LOCATION

Location. Location. Location. This trite but true real estate notion could neverbe more important than in consideration of self-storage ownership. A mature first-generation facility can easily compete with a Class "A" state-of-the-art facility if itslocation is superior. Conversely, a poorly located store, such as one in anindustrial park or at the end of a cul-de-sac, can be buried by a developmentproject in a locale with higher traffic and better visibility. No sacrifice should bemade when it comes to location quality.

The facility must be visible to as many people as possible, particularly potentialcustomers who live or work within a five mile radius.

Physical barriers near a self-storage site such as rivers, streams and highways...

SITE LAYOUT AND DESIGN

It is critical that the developer realize the importance of proper layout and design.Many architects who have developed self-storage projects clearly do notunderstand layout from a functional, management perspective. The architectmay lay out the units based on his or her design criteria, but unless they areintimately familiar with self-storage operations...

• Number of turns• Number of dead end hallways• Length of hallways• Hallway lengths and building codes• Energy efficiency• Percent (%) of space loss• Information Intentionally Omitted

The last of these criteria is the most important. If the layout designer is nottroubled by losing just a few square feet, they are not the designer for you. Theyshould be fighting for every possible...

DESIGN BUILD AND CONSTRUCTION

All self-storage properties are not created equal. Due to the idiosyncrasy of self-storage development and construction, it is important that the project be built byexperienced self-storage contractors. While it is true that basic self-storageconstruction is quite simple, and in the case of metal buildings, self-storagebuildings have been referred to as 'easy as an erector set'. There are, however,compelling reasons for use of experienced self-storage contractors. The least ofwhich are:

ABSORPTION ANALYSIS

Due to the current demand for storage space in the marketplace, and given thedemographic profile of the prospective tenant base, a 36 to 48 month leaseup

Increased competition and new development in recent years have translated intoa longer lease-up period for new facilities. In 2006, it took facilities notably longerto reach the critical 70% physical occupancy level than it did in 2005, asevidenced in the following table. Results from this year's survey shows that aquarter of facilities took more than...

EXIT STRATEGY

Perhaps one of the most important considerations for self-storage developmentis the investors exit strategy. The completed project should be easily saleable. Itis a fact that the courses of our lives change from time to time, and with that, wemust make certain that our investment strategy is flexible enough to make thechanges as well. Life changing situations such as illness, divorce, partnershipdissolution, employment opportunities and death have changed the ownershipstrategies for many self-storage owners.

There may be several opportunities to exit the project, predicated upon theinvestors' proclivity for risk, and the time value of money. Traditionally, the exitpoints are as follows:

Exit at Certificate of Occupancy (10 to 12 month timeframe).

This is a good time to market...

Exit at Stabilization (30 to 60 month timeframe).

Once again, the financing may be difficult for the new purchaser if there is notsufficient seasoning of cash flows...

Exit at Maturity (48 to 72 month timeframe).

The drivers for an exit at this point are typically to move on to another projectrequiring cash. At this time in the development, if the project is...

It is important that the project meet minimum criteria that will make the projecteasy to market. The most likely buyers in today's market are:

• Public Storage• Extra Space• Sovran (Uncle Bob's)• OB Companies (Simply Self Storage)• U-Store-lt

These buyers all have some minimum standards that they are likely to follow inmaking an acquisition. These same standards are roughly followed by the typicalfinanciers of self-storage.

FINANCE

The demand for ownership in self-storage among institutional and non-institutional investors seems to be extremely strong based on reported salesactivity by the self-storage industry's sales brokers. This strong demandcontinues despite 17 interest rate hikes in the past two years by the FederalReserve, which has been engaged in a long-fought battle to keep the nations'inflationary pressures at arms length. In August 2006, the Fed voted to keeprates constant, ending a long streak of quarter-point rate increases dating toJune 2004 and sending a signal that perhaps they are taking a break fromthrowing counterpunches to the inflationary jabs that had taken the wind out ofthe U.S. economy for several years. Though the macro interest rate environmenthas changed significantly since June 2004, capitalization rates have notexperienced such dramatic adjustments.

While Fed rate hikes during the past two years...

Of further significance is the continued acceptance and stature of self-storage asa real estate asset class by institutional investors and other lending sources.While self-storage gradually shed its perception as a 'highly risky' property typeyears ago, it is now considered to be a much more desirable investment andlending opportunity, as evidenced by the surge in the number of community

banks and other capital sources now providing debt to self-storage propertyowners nationwide.

Of course, there is no crystal ball that we can gaze into to tell us exactly...

In 2007, we expect capitalization rates and corresponding property values will lagbehind future interest rates up-ticks and downturns, and we see continueddemand for self-storage property investments. This is still an extremely strongmarket for self-storage property borrowers and there are no signs to refute thatself-storage owners will continue to enjoy valued assets based on historically lowcapitalization rates and favorable opportunities for leveraging their real estateassets over the next year.

CONCLUSIONS

The subject property fills a "gap" that is currently in the market, as there are noself-storage facilities on Highway US-1...

There is no competition within a one mile radius of the subject property and onlyone competitor within a two mile radius of the subject property offers climate-controlled units (Competitor #1). Competitor #2 and #3 offer only non-climateunits.

The strength of the project is that there are no proposed self-storagedevelopments to compete with the subject property currently pending approval inDade County within five miles of the subject property. This was confirmed by theDade County Planning & Zoning Department on February 9, 2007.

Another strength of the subject property is the site itself; its ideal locationcombined with 385 feet of Highway frontage on 4.06 acres.

Current Light Industrial Zoning of this site allows for the following:

The Subject Property

The subject property of 4.067 acres has a gross area of 176,853 square feet.

Information Intentionally Omitted

The site allows for three self-storage development options for the developer toconsider for the highest and best use of the site:

1. Construct a 2 story 40,000 climate controlled building (80,000 gross) and3-4 single story non-climate buildings (48,425 gross) totaling 110,100 netrentable square feet of self-storage space. (Not recommended)

2. Construct a 2 story 30,000 climate controlled building (60,000 gross) and3-4 single story non-climate buildings (30,000) totaling 74,925 net rentablesquare feet of self-storage space. (Recommended)

3. Construct a 2 story 40,000 climate controlled building offering 25,000square feet of leased retail space and 15,000 self-storage on the first floorand 40,000 climate controlled self-storage on the second floor (80,000gross) and 3-4 single story non-climate buildings (32,120 gross) totaling

-

75,000 net rentable square feet of self storage space. (Considerationrecommended)

The following tables represent the proposed unit mix for each option combinedwith a breakdown of monthly revenue numbers by unit size as well as the annualgross potential income. Each scenario assumes the site has a 1,400 square footmanager apartment and a 1,500 square foot self-storage rental/retail office.

Tables Intentionally Omitted

However, due to self-storage industry standards, nationwide, it is recommendedthe developer construct no more than 75,000 net rentable square feet in onesingle phase on the subject property, as shown in the table below.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The primary recommendation for the project, if built, is the developer construct aClass "A" state of the art facility no more than 75,000 net rentable square feet ofself-storage, with strong, third-party management, offering a complete unit mix ofclimate-controlled units and non-climate units as recommended in Option 2above.

It is further recommended the developer consider Option 3 as an alternative.The parcel is large enough to accommodate the retail area in addition to theparking requirements of retail; however, the average retail rate in the market area(Florida City) as of January 29, 2007 averaged $XX/foot. Retail rates rangedfrom $XX to $XX/foot, with the highest rates in Any Plaza ranging from $XX to$XX.

Sentry Self-Storage Management's primary recommendation remains to build aself-storage facility excluding the retail component, as detailed in Option 2 above.It is risky to assume the retail market is strong enough to fully lease 25,000square feet of retail space in a new development more suitable to self-storagethan retail.

Other Recommendations:

1. Marketing Plan: The developer should employ a consultant to develop amarketing plan for the facility. Given the unit mix...

2. Free Rental Truck at Move-In: A free truck for move-in should be offered.

3. Fee Rental Trucks: This should be considered..
