THE LAUREN, A CONDOMINIUM
Supplementary Information on Future Major Repairs & Replacements (Scanned Copy)
December 31, 2004
(Unaudited)
     

                       
An independent engineer conducted a study in 2003 to estimate the remaining useful lives and the replacement costs of the components of common property. Replacement costs were based on the estimated costs to repair or replace the common property components at the date of the study. Estimated current replacement costs have not been revised since that date. The study considered the effects of inflation between the date of the study and the date that the components will require repair or replacement at a rate of 3.7% and an interest rate of 2.2%.

                       
The following information is based on the 2003 study and presents significant information about the components of common property.
