GCLA Repositioning Report

December 2010

Prepared By:

Vahak Agojian, WV Director of Global Real Estate

Introduction

My name is Vahak Agojian and I am the Director of Global Real Estate for World Vision, who reports directly to Tony Moniaga, Partnership Leader for Global Real Estate and Corporate Services. My responsibility is to ensure that I maximize value and mitigate risk for World Vision globally by providing asset management real estate services. Those services include consulting, leasing, acquisition, disposition, construction and improvement projects for existing WV assets and for future WV projects.

Purpose of the Report

The purpose of the report is to provide information for everyone who is interested in understanding the scope of the GCLA Repositioning Project which consisted of three phases of due diligence.

The GCLA Repositioning strategy was first introduced to me on October 5, 2010 in order to determine if there is a “value added” opportunity that would allow GCLA to reposition the two buildings it currently owns through disposition, and to identify acquisition opportunities through leasing or purchase of other properties along the 210 freeway corridor going east from WV’s current location (commonly known as 800 & 840 West Chestnut in the city of Monrovia).

The alternative was to analyze and determine what “value added” improvements could be made to the current property in order to achieve a higher and efficient better use of these buildings.

In order to obtain this information, I implemented and completed a three phase due diligence process consisting of owner/user decision analysis, market feasibility analysis, and financial feasibility analysis. This purpose of this report is to identify the best opportunities for World Vision and to assist us in the decision making process .

Assumptions used for Analysis

The following information was obtained from a department head survey that was administered on November 5, 2010. The purpose was to capture basic information that is necessary to determine space needs for all departments, and to determine whether or not the GCLA staff count will shrink, stay the same, or grow over the next 3-5 years. Therefore, the following assumptions were used as the basis for this report.

• Global Center Los Angeles will continue to exist under this current structure that includes a staff of approximately 202 employees for at least the next 3-5 years.

• Collectively within all departments there will be slight growth of less than 2% annually.

• 20% of the staff will continue to work from home at least 2 days a week

• GCLA will continue to have 295 visitors annually.

• 62% of those visitors will work here and stay a week.

Repositioning Options & Scenarios

A. Sell existing property and buy new office building

B. Sell existing property and lease new office building

C. Hold and add 20,000 SF to the 800 building and after the completion of construction lease out or sell the 840 building

D. Demo and rebuild the 840 building and after completion of construction lease or sell the 800 building

E. Hold and remodel 800 & 840 buildings

F. Hold and Do Nothing

20

Sell existing property and lease new office building:

This scenario is to sell the existing 800 & 840 buildings and use part of the proceeds from the sale to LEASE a new property of like kind 5-10 year term with options to extend.

A. 180 E. Via Verde San Dimas, CA

Pros

• Newer building built 2002

• Will require only 400k initial outlay

• Better NPV for years 1-10

• Landlord will provide $1 million for tenant improvements

• Landlord will provide 5 months of rent abatement

• Good freeway visibility with signage opportunities

• All Herman Miller furniture is included in the lease

• Easy freeway access and in close proximity to the 10,210,57,71 freeways

• Abundant Parking 4.4 /1000 ratio

21

Hold and add 20,000 SF to the 800 building and after the completion of construction lease out or sell the 840 building:

This scenario is a large capital project that will allow the entire staff to work out of a single office. It would require the staff in the 800 building to temporarily move to the 840 building, work from home, or leasing a 15,000 SF office may be necessary during the time of construction. Once the building project is completed the entire staff would relocate into the 800 building and the 840 building can be leased or sold. Lease 840 scenario will generate income to offset expenses of both buildings with positive cash flow over the long term. The Sale of 840 scenario will not generate residual income, but it will offset the construction expense associated with adding the 20,000 SF of the 800 building.

Pros

• 48,000 SF Facility would house the entire staff.

• Selling 840 would leave proceeds that would offset the cost of construction.

• Leasing 840 Would be the highest and best return on investment over a 20 year holding period

• Property tax base would increase slightly as opposed to a new purchase

• Remain in the same prime location

• IT and TI build out costs are substantially less than relocating into new space

Cons

• 9-12 months of construction

• Staff has to telecommute or temporary office space has to be secured.

• Entitlements may take 6-9 months

• Selling or Leasing 840 may take longer than expected and increase the timelines of recouping costs.

• CUP or variance may be required for parking

• Difficult to obtain construction financing in this market

Cash Flow Analysis

Projected cash flow for leasing out the 840 building to a tenant.

24

Demo and rebuild the 840 building and after completion of construction lease or sell the 800 building:

This scenario is a large capital project that will allow the entire staff to work out of a single office. It would require the staff in the 840 building to temporarily move to the 800 building, work from home, or leasing a 15,000 SF office may be necessary during the time of construction. Once the building project is completed the entire staff would relocate into the 840 building and the 800 building can be leased or sold. Lease 800 scenario will generate income to offset expenses of both buildings with positive cash flow over the long term. The Sale of 800 scenario will not generate residual income, but it will offset the construction expense associated with rebuilding 840.

Pros

• 50,000 SF brand new custom construction

• Facility would house the entire staff.

• Selling 800 would leave proceeds that would offset the cost of construction.

• Leasing 800 Would be the highest and best return on investment over a 20 year holding period

• Property tax base would increase slightly as opposed to a new purchase

• Remain in the same prime location

Cons

• 10 million initial outlay for construction costs

• Maybe difficult to obtain financing under current market conditions

• 9-12 months of construction

• Staff has to telecommute or temporary office space has to be secured.

• Entitlements may take 6-9 months

• Selling or Leasing 800 may take longer than expected and increase the timelines of recouping costs.

• CUP or variance may be required

27

Hold and remodel 800 & 840 buildings:

Carry on business as usual and make minimal cosmetic improvements like paint, new carpet, and updated furniture and fixtures without doing any major structural enhancements to both of the buildings.

Pros

• Cosmetic improvements will enhance the look of the offices

• Costs less than the other scenarios

• Does not allow for sublet opportunities as a way to generate income

• Property tax base would not increase

• Remain in the same prime location

• Buildings operating expenses stay low

Cons

• Staff will continue to work out of both buildings

• 6-9 months of construction

• Staff has to telecommute or temporary office space has to be secured during construction.

• To occupy two buildings is not an efficient use of the space

Hold and Do Nothing:

Carry on business as usual without incurring large expense and re-evaluate in 3-5 years. Department needs should be addressed in this scenario and a revised space plan should be implemented in order to maximize the use of the office space with minimal costs.

Pros

• Cosmetic improvements will enhance the look of the offices

• Costs less than the other scenarios

• Does not allow for sublet opportunities as a way to generate income

• Property tax base would not increase

• Remain in the same prime location

• Buildings operating expenses stay low

Cons

• Staff will continue to work out of both buildings

• 6-9 months of construction

• Staff has to telecommute or temporary office space has to be secured.

• To occupy two buildings is not an efficient use of the space
