3 Scope of Work Problem to Solve: The appraiser was asked to prepare an appraisal to establish a replacement value for insurance purposes. This report is not valid for any other purpose or for any other person or entity other than those listed below. Client: Affiliated Adjustment, Allison & Andrew Isaacs, Travelers Owner: Allison & Andrew Isaacs Effective Valuation Date of Appraisal: The values expressed in this appraisal are effective as of the date of loss of 8/13/15. Use of Appraisal: Claim settlement. User(s) of Appraisal: This appraisal can be used and relied upon by the clients. Any other user is considered an unintended user. Ownership Interest: We assume the owner as stated above, to hold 100% interest in the subject property. Authenticity: Although the appraiser is not an authenticator, the appraiser had no reason to doubt the authenticity of the work except as individually noted. Appraiser s Past Exposure to Appraised Objects: Although the appraiser has appraised similar objects for other clients, to the appraiser s best knowledge and recollection, this is the initial association with these particular objects. Specific Assignment Conditions (Assumptions): We assume all documentation and verbal information provided by the insurance company and/or insured/claimant to be accurate and correct, except as individually noted. We did not locate any current agreements of sale, validated offers, or third-party offers to sell/purchase the subject property. We did not locate any prior sales of the subject property. We were not provided with any additional information on the provenance of the subject property. Specific Assignment Conditions (Assumptions): We are unaware of any restrictions, encumbrances, leases, covenants, contracts, declarations, special assessments, ordinances, or other items of a similar nature as relevant to the assignment. Specific Assignment Conditions (Hypothetical Conditions): The item has been appraised in its assumed pre-loss condition, and this assumed pre-loss condition is a hypothetical condition. Any assessment of loss in value following restoration is a hypothetical condition, given as restoration has not taken place and the outcome of recommended restoration can only be assumed to the best of the appraiser s ability and experience. Report page 3 of 17

4 Examination: The appraiser examined the items under available light in situ. An ultraviolet light was not used to examine the items, as the environment was not conducive to such examination. The appraiser was able to ascertain the information as given in the descriptions from personal examination, the referencing photographs, supporting documentation, and personal research. The appraiser measured the works. Measurements are given to the nearest inch; height precedes width unless otherwise stated. Condition is based on the appraiser s observations, the referencing photographs, supporting documentation, and statements by the owner and/or client. Condition refers to what is considered generally acceptable, with ordinary wear and tear for its type, unless otherwise noted. Photography: Steven A. Leon took digital photographs of the items including details. Method of Research: Research was conducted in the offices of Art Conservation Associates, Inc. Additional research was conducted on the Internet using standard search engines as well as pricing data bases to which Art Conservation Associates, Inc. subscribes. Appropriate dealers, galleries, and auction houses were contacted for information when necessary. Specific sources and Internet sites are listed at the end of the report. Research was conducted by Steven A. Leon, Jennifer Maslowski, Robby Meighoo, Jan Jarecki, and Aron Cohen. Type of Appraisal: This report is considered to be a current summary appraisal report according to the rules of the USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice). This appraisal is considered to be current. Approach to value: The market data comparison approach was employed to arrive at the appraised replacement value. The income approach and the cost approach were considered and rejected as not applicable to this appraisal. Market examination: The appraiser must recognize that there are distinct levels of trade (measurable marketplaces) and each may generate its own data. Therefore, the appraiser must analyze the subject property within the correct market context. In the context of personal property, value can be a function of the choice of the appropriate market or, in some cases, market level for the type of item, the type and definition of value, and the intended use of the appraisal. Definition of Market Data Comparison Approach and Market Examined, Replacement Value: The "market data comparison" approach analyzes recent sales of comparable articles. Adjustments are then made for each article which consider age, condition, rarity, artistic merit, technical workmanship, current trends and availability of an article as compared to such recent sales. The market used was the primary retail market/wholesale market, including any relevant expenses. Type of Value Used: Replacement value. Definition of Value: Replacement value: the amount it would cost to replace an item with one of similar and like quality purchased in the most appropriate marketplace within a limited amount of time. (Appraisers Association of America) USPAP Compliancy: This appraisal report follows the guidelines of USPAP in that the report provides all of the necessary information/analysis to satisfy the current report development requirements as defined in Standard 7 (Personal Property, Development) and the writing requirements of a Summary Appraisal as defined in Standard 8 (Personal Property, Reporting).
