Fort Walton Beach, Florida Report on Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lord & Son Construction, Inc. (a Florida S Corporation), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013, and 2012, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. Basis for Qualified Opinion As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s financial statements do not include the accounts of LDL2, LLC, and DHSM Group, LLC that the Company has determined are variable interest entities. In our opinion, the Company’s financial statements should include the accounts of LDL2, LLC, and DHSM Group, LLC to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management has chosen not to consolidate the financial statements of the variable interest entities after an evaluation of the costs and benefits to make such presentation. Board of Directors Lord & Son Construction, Inc. Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued) Qualified Opinion In our opinion, except for the effects of not including the accounts of LDL2, LLC, and DHSM Group, LLC in the accompanying financial statements as explained in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lord & Son Construction, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Report on Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information in the accompanying schedules is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

They successfully provided the construction and project management oversight of the Eastside Development Project at the Northwest Florida Regional Airport. The project was a total expenditure of more than $15,000,000.00, consisting of over 56,000 square feet of office, cargo storage and maintenance spaces, a five bay carwash, five island fuel dispensing area, 130,000 gallon state-of-the-art design jet and unleaded fuel storage and containment facility, over 6 acres of parking, covered walkway, lift station; landscaping, perimeter fencing and access control systems and left access turn lane on State Highway 85. Mr John Klumpp, Vice President of Lord & Son Construction, Inc., coordinated with Tracey Walker, on-site construction project manager and Jack Harris, project superintendent. This superb team ensured the project was going according to schedule and met with me weekly to answer questions that I as Airports Project Manager might have concerning the development. They also handled all County and State permitting requirements for this project. The project came in on time and under budget for the original requirements as this team continually sought out ways to provide money saving options during construction, some of which improved the aesthetics of the walkway design by deleting walls allowing for the landscaping to be highlighted. Their focused scheduling allowed the tenants to move in one month early, resulting in early rental receipts by the County. We found Lord & Son Construction, Inc to be a very reliable contractor and we are very pleased with the outcome of the Eastside Development project and would recommend Lord & Son Construction, Inc. for any future construction endeavors.

We are fortunate to have chosen Lord and Son as the Contractor for our facility. Your management team of Mike O’Grady, Project Manager, J.P. Buchanan, QC Manager, and Dave Burleson, Superintendent, was a well-oiled team of professionals. Whenever we encountered a snag, such as the issue with unsuitable soil areas, it was quickly resolved by this team so the project maintained forward motion. We appreciate their attention to detail on a complex project that helped maintain the project budget and schedule. Your team’s dedication, work ethic, promptness and honesty were all characteristics that the entire Lord and Son organization displayed throughout our construction. It was a great pleasure to have worked with Lord and Son and I would certainly recommend your firm and this management team to any future clients with whom you are involved to relay our total satisfaction. Sincerely, Sr Flows Joseph W. Henderson, CPA Warren Averett, LLC Quina Grundhoefer Architects August 23, 2009 To whom it may concern: I am pleased to write this letter recommending and commending the work of Lord & Son Construction Company. The recently completed Children’s Building project for First United Methodist Church in Niceville, Florida was a true success story from start to finish. I was the Architect for the project and had the pleasure of working with John Klumpp, the project manager and Ronnie Jordon, the site superintendent for Lord & Son. The project was priced using a competitive bidding process and Lord & Son was the lowest bid. The prices were not only within budget, but below the church’s estimate, which allowed the church to add several items that they were hoping to include in the project. During construction, the team members of Lord & Son maintained a high level of professionalism and organization in coordinating the work. Their efforts kept activities flowing smoothly and the project was completed within the tight schedule established. This allowed the church’s Pre- School program to open on time. It was a gratifying experience to work with Lord & Son on this project. Their attention to detail and concern for the overall quality of the project was evident during the entire construction period. Ihave no hesitancy in recommending Lord & Son for any size construction project and I would be happy to discuss their work with any interested party. Sincerely, Cel Cork Daniel Grundhoefer, AIA 400 West Romana Street Pensacola, Florida 32502 a (850) 433-5575 (Fax) 433-5366 E-mail: qgarchitects.com As the Project Manager at Eglin AFB, Lord and Son are presently doing the renovation of the Fitness Center, Building 810, on Eglin AFB, Florida. The project is a Design-Build project in which Architect Dennis Chavez and Lord and Son partnered. The project was competed among two other Design-Build Companies, and Lord and Son/Dennis Chavez were awarded the project at a cost of $1,505,100. The project is a phased renovation of the Fitness Center. The facility is still occupied and patronized by the customers, and Lord and Son have been working with the customer to provide the least amount of impact on the customer and still perform the work as required in the contract. We are presently into the seventh month of a twelve month performance period. The work involves providing new heating ventilating and air conditioning in the weight and fitness rooms, new ceiling and lighting in these rooms, as well. Completely renovate the men’s locker rooms and showers in which it was reconfigured to make it more efficient, humidity-controlled, better air-conditioning, lighting, handicap accessible and all new finishes. The lobby and offices are also being renovated by making the reception/lobby area more architecturally appealing as the customers enter the facility. Also, the reception area will also be the control center to monitor the surveillance cameras in the facility and duress alarms for each of the saunas. The office area has been modified to make the laundry area more functional and storage has been added to assist in some of their deficiencies in the facility. The basketball courts will receive sound attenuation. The project also includes a surveillance system throughout and a new fire alarm and mass notification system for the entire facility. This multi project required a very skilled construction firm to have the construction knowledge, the right personnel as a project manager, supervisor, and skilled laborers, as well as, the confidence in the right subcontractors to do the job. Lord and Son have met not only the challenges of the project, but have always been outstanding in their performance throughout this project. Also, they has been timely on their progress reports, we have reoccurring meetings every three weeks to do discuss the progress on the construction and to inform the customer of any updates on the project phasing and work elements. This has been a team approach from the very start of the design process through the construction process. We have only one modification which was due to unforeseen site conditions and they responded very quickly with several solutions and a fair cost proposal. We are winding down the most crucial elements of the project, and Lord and Son with their subcontractors have done an outstanding job. It is for these reasons that | offer high recommendations for Lord and Son without any reservation. If you have any questions regarding this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Walton Beach, FL 32547 SUBJ: Jacobs/Titan Total Program Management (TPM) for the Okaloosa County School District (OCSD) Capital Construction Program - Lord & Son Construction, Inc. Recognition Dear Mr. Lord: After completion of another successful summer construction program for OCSD, our entire team would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Lord & Son for a job well done. You and the staff associated with the Choctawhatchee High School Chilled Water Replacement and the Longwood Elementary School HVAC Replacement Projects performed, as expected, with the highest levels of professionalism, safety consciousness and fiscal awareness. The Choctawhatchee High School Project was initially a seven-phase project that was scheduled to take 193 calendar days and require up to twenty portables to house displaced students during Phase 4 of the project. Through extensive pre-planning on your part and by performing future phase work out of sequence, the total number of calendar days was reduced by 56 days - thus eliminating the need to relocate students to portables. This saved the District approximately $300,000 and, more importantly, provided a more secure and safe learning environment for the students and teachers. The success of this project was further enhanced when you and your team were able to replace the existing 200 ton chiller with a new 400 ton chiller. This swap provided redundancy and sequencing capability that did not exist prior to the start of the project. When you relocated the existing 200 ton chiller to Bluewater Elementary over the 19 days of Winter Break, it did not delay the progress of your work or interrupt the school operations at either location. Finally, and as a testament to your dedication and support of us and our client, you were able to increase your scope of work and handle the installation of two (2) large Air Handling Units during the last two (2) weeks of the summer construction period, Your commitment to get the job done and the quality of work provided is to be commended. Phase 1 of the Longwood HVAC Replacement Project was accomplished in 43 calendar days over this past summer. It involved the complete replacement of the mechanical systems that served approximately 36,000 SF (almost two thirds of the school) and included a new cooling tower, new 6” chilled water piping and new individual classroom units. The planning, punctuality and quality of finished work exemplifies the conscientious approach exhibited by the entire Lord & Son team. We are confident that Phase 2 of this project will be just as successful. Mr. Leven Lord August 12, 2010 Page 2 It is important to note that the Project Manager for Lord & Son on both projects was Mr. Ryan Chavers. Ryan always represents your firm with the greatest level of professionalism and we feel that he epitomizes the core values that define Lord & Son. Over the last fifteen years, Lord & Son Construction, Inc. has worked with us to complete fifty-nine projects on the OCSD Construction Program to include a new school in Crestview, numerous additions and renovations and emergency projects. The end result of all of these projects has been exceptional quality. They have all been professionally contracted from inception to completion - regardless of the size of the project. Please pass along our appreciation of your outstanding performance on all of these projects to your entire staff. We appreciate your continued drive for excellence and your adherence to safety on all the projects. We look forward to many more years of building better schools together.

This pre-engineered metal building was completed with EIFS exterior finishes and interior finishes with sheetrock walls and acoustical ceilings. The project was finalized with a parking lot and landscaping on the lot. When Lord & Son was awarded this contract in late October 2013, it had to be completed in four months to meet the deadline of March 1, 2014. In addition to the project already being fast-tracked, there was a two week delay in receiving the metal building followed by another two weeks of bad weather. Through careful coordination and discussions with subcontractors, not only was the project completed on time, it was completed three days ahead of schedule.
