On October 23, 2014, Blue Mountain announced that it proposed to acquire the approximately 30% of common shares of Banff that it did not currently own through a plan of arrangement

Morgan Stanley has been engaged as financial advisor to the Special Committee of Banff and asked to provide a valuation of Banff

Unless indicated otherwise, all references in these materials to $ are US$

SITUATION OVERVIEW

Situation Overview

Introduction

Banff is a public North American land developer and homebuilder with operations in three active operating segments and 11 major markets

– Canada: Calgary, Edmonton, Greater Toronto Area

– California: Greater Los Angeles Area, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area

– Central and Eastern U.S.: Austin, Denver, Phoenix, Washington D.C. Area

Banff is dual-listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange

Background

On October 23, 2014, Blue Mountain announced that it had made a proposal to Banff’s Board of Directors to acquire the approximately 30% of common shares of Banff that it did not already own for $23.00 per share in cash

– In response to this announcement, the Board of Directors of Banff established a committee of Independent Directors (the “Special Committee”) to review and consider the proposal

As of November 24, 2014, Morgan Stanley was engaged as exclusive financial advisor to the Special Committee of Banff

We provided a preliminary valuation on December 15, 2014 and a subsequent preliminary valuation on December 19, 2014 of the common shares of Banff in accordance with the requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61–101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61–101”) of the Ontario Securities Commission and the Autorite des marches financiers

On December 22, 2014, following several days of discussions between the Banff Special Committee and representatives of Blue Mountain, Blue Mountain raised its offer (in steps) to $24.25 per share (representing an increase of approximately 5% over its initial offer)

– The following pages contain our formal valuation report based upon information provided to us by Banff’s Management as of December 23, 2014

Project Bow River

Banff Observations

Product mix and market locations drive top tier average sales price versus peers

– Banff’s U.S. portfolio focused on coastal markets (Bay Area, Southern California) and select growth markets (Austin, Denver) drives higher average sales price compared to its Canada portfolio

Highest gross margin in the homebuilder sector primarily due to higher revenue contribution from land sales vs. homebuilding, long-dated land supply at lower cost basis, and more stable Canadian land business

SG&A generally in-line with sector peers

Sector Backdrop

Sector has weathered the financial crisis and is approaching a more normalized operating environment

– Earnings expected to return to “normalized” levels into 2016

– Deferred tax assets from losses / impairments in downturn largely utilized

Recent expansion with ~8 new IPOs since 2013

– Primarily regional players without the scale / reach of the mid-to-large cap homebuilders

– New entrant equity market capitalizations largely well below $1.0Bn

Homebuilders have been going “long” land as the market recovers, volumes increase, and land becomes more constrained

– “Land developers like Banff are positioned to capture the majority of the benefit from rising home prices because of the highly fragmenting and intensely competitive homebuilding industry.”

– RBC, Sept. 23, 2013

BANFF OVERVIEW

Homebuilding Sector Backdrop and Banff Review

Banff Summary Observations

Vertically integrated business model – land developer and homebuilder

High relative ASPs driven by U.S. product mix and market locations

Relatively strong gross margins driven by lot sales activity, longer dated land supply at lower cost basis, and more stable Canadian land business

Recent emphasis on growing U.S. homebuilder operations, which provides for strong growth trajectory (i.e., in Denver, Austin, and Phoenix markets), but comes with execution risk

Large land inventory with one of the longest years of supply (~18 years) in the sector

Vast majority of lot equivalents inventory represents land held for development (~90k of the total ~107k) versus land under development / optioned lots (~15k) and housing units or model homes (~2k)

Portfolio features several large, MPC projects with long-term (10+ years) sell-out periods

A national builder with a focused geographic footprint (operates on both coasts, select growth markets, and Canada – but in targeted markets in these broad regions) and large concentrations in its top 5 / 6 markets

U.S. market fundamentals generally continue to recover / improve post-crisis, although 2014 has been at a more measured pace

Canadian markets did not experience the same degree of slowdown that the U.S. did and fundamentals have been stable / positive, although potential concern that the Alberta markets (~40% concentration by lots) could be impacted in the event of a prolonged decline in oil prices

Given its business model, land inventory profile, and its large presence in both the U.S. and Canada, there is no true “comp” for Banff, although there are some public homebuilders with certain portfolio / financial / operational characteristics similar to Banff

Capital structure and size / scale also inform the selection of comparable companies and point toward the more established mid / large cap homebuilders versus the recent micro / small cap homebuilder entrants to the sector

Key Themes – Attributes

Strong gross margin performance. Banff’s preferred land position gives management confidence that the company can sustain a gross margin in excess of 20% in the home building operation

Increased new residential construction activity and better financial performance represent potential catalysts for share price appreciation

Potential for home deliveries to double (from ~2,500 currently to ~5,000 in three to four years)

Sustained consumer demand translating into a high absorption rate in Canadian markets

Key Themes – Considerations

Above average geographic concentration (Alberta) and potential impact from any slowdown in natural gas/oil demand

Smaller scale homebuilding operations in the United States

Potential for outsized balance sheet impairments if home prices decline

Limited secondary liquidity

Interest rate risk, making home ownership more expensive

Notes

1. Research price target contributor includes one research analyst

2. Estimated NAV used by one research analyst

Project Bow River

Since Blue Mountain’s proposed offer to purchase the shares of Banff it doesn’t already own, Banff’s research analyst price target has increased 9.1% to $24.00

– Current value of revised offer is $24.25 cash per share

Banff’s research analyst NAV estimate has changed from $24.75 to $24.90 since Blue Mountain’s proposed offer on October 23, 2014

Some of the considerations for Banff are performance-related (e.g., lot count and home deliveries) whereas others (e.g., interest rate risk, oil prices) are more macro in nature

2 Analyst Commentary Following Blue Mountain’s Offer

“Investor Focus: 1) New order trends & ASP growth; 2) Operating margin performance; 3) Material and labor costs; 4) Land prices; and 5) The board of directors for Banff has established a special committee to review the proposed acquisition of the remaining 30% of the company’s shares not currently owned by Blue Mountain.”

- RBC, Nov. 4, 2014

“We are maintaining our Sector Perform rating and raising our price target to $24. We believe that the special committee might ask Blue Mountain to pay a premium to the current offer of $23/share.”

- RBC, Nov. 4, 2014

“With shares trading slightly above the offer price, we do not see significant further upside. Our fundamental estimated valuation range is $24 - $25.”

- Wells Fargo, Oct. 24, 2014

“We view today’s announcement that Blue Mountain (Baa2/A-) has proposed to acquire the 30% of Banff (B1/B+) it does not already own as a credit positive for Banff (B1/B+).”

- Citi, Oct. 23, 2014

“We believe that it is more likely than not that the transaction goes through. However, we imagine investors may push back on valuation given the stock traded as high as $24.25 in January 2014.”

- Citi, Oct. 23, 2014

Analysts will provide EBITDAx in their summary of valuation materials, but not normally utilized in determining price targets / valuation (heavy reliance on P / E and P / BV)

Canada’s housing market is observed to have less risk than U.S., given stricter lending business practices

Land development is seen as possessing higher risk than homebuilding

Move-up / higher income customers viewed largely as a positive

BANFF VALUATION

2 Analyst Commentary On Homebuilder Valuation

Pricing Metrics

“The (homebuilding) group should trade in a range of 10x – 14x during a peak environment”

– JMP, July 2014

“In a normal environment, we typically see homebuilding stocks trading at 9 to 10 times forward earnings.”

– Credit Suisse, May 20, 2013

“We begin by assuming that the builders should trade at a base recovery multiple of 1.75x book value. For each company in our coverage universe we then adjust this multiple up or down depending on profit, growth, risks and other factors.”

– Deutsche Bank, Feb. 25, 2013

“The earliest data we have shows that homebuilder forward P/Es traded in a range around 10x after housing had recovered from the trough in the 1990s.”

– Barclays, Oct. 22, 2012

Canadian Housing Market

“Canada’s mortgage market possesses several attributes that positively distinguish it from the U.S. market, in our view, which in turn should help prevent a material decline in home prices as seen in the U.S. from 2006-2009.”

– J.P. Morgan, May 20, 2013

Land Development / Purchasing Raw Land

“We then discount those cash flows at a discount rate of 12% to find the present value of the property.”

– Deutsche Bank, Nov. 5, 2014

“Our gross margin assumptions are: 25% for properties purchased during the boom (2004-2007), 50% for properties purchased in 2000, and 80% for properties purchased before 1985.”

– Deutsche Bank, Jan. 5, 2014

“However, this strategy also carries significant risk, as land values are highly volatile and levered to changes in home prices, moving 2-4% for every 1% change in home prices. This occurs since land is typically valued on a residual basis and development and direct construction costs tend to be stickier than home prices (both on the way up and on the way down).”

– Credit Suisse, May 20, 2013

Higher Income Earning Demographic

“Moreover, given the wealth of this demographic, the broader macro picture has less of an impact to some extent on their purchase decisions (excluding the Great Recession when fear drove this demographic to keep capital on the sidelines). And, the high income demographic in the US has been growing at a faster rate than all households combined.”

– Bank of America, Jan. 20, 2013

2015 seen as a “ramp” year with earnings still growing for homebuilders

Price / 2016E Earnings viewed by research analysts as a “stabilized” year with a return to “normalization” for earnings multiples

As such, 2016 earnings multiples utilized for valuation purposes

Due to higher margins, anticipated growth and longer land supply being beneficial at this point in the housing cycle, slightly higher than mean multiples selected

Banff capital structure generally in-line with selected comparables so no adjustments made for purposes of application of levered multiples

Business Plan Strategy

Increasing the housing business across the board

– Goal to drive each business group to 400 to 500 home closings per year (~5,000 units in totality)

– Majority of lot sales will continue to be to third-party builders

Increasing the volume of annual lot sales

– Goal to reach ~5,000 lot sales per year

– Focus will be normal course lot sales (with a focus on driving growth in markets like Denver and Austin), but will also include some opportunistic land sales once value has been created through the entitlement process

Overall, the Company expects to increase its pace of monetization and reduce its land supply over the next several years to an 8-10 year of supply of land

BANFF VALUATION

6 Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Management Projections Key Assumptions – Based on 2015 to 2019 Business Plan

Management’s 2015-2019 business plan represents management’s best currently available estimates and judgments of the future five-year financial performance of the Company

The business plan is a bottom-up consolidation of the project-level projections provided on a region-by-region basis

– Canadian markets assumed to be at similar levels to 2014 throughout the projections period, with no inflation built into the Canadian projects

– U.S. markets assumed to be at similar or marginally better levels to 2014 throughout the projections period

The business plan includes all projects currently owned as of the business plan and also assumes $1.7Bn of gross acquisitions throughout the projections period (with approximately $200MM of committed acquisitions and approximately $1.5Bn of uncommitted acquisitions)

– The total number of active housing communities continues to increase through 2015 and averages 76 throughout the projections period (with a peak of 82 active housing communities in 2017)

Interest expense on project debt on land held for development is expensed in the projections, interest expense on the $500MM of U.S. unsecured notes is capitalized to active projects, and existing capitalized interest is expensed throughout the projections period as assets are sold

The tax rate in the U.S. is assumed to be 39.0%, Alberta 25.0%, and Ontario 26.5%; taxes assumed to be paid in cash with no tax liability established in the projections

Canadian dollar amounts are converted at 0.90:1 throughout the five-year projections period

Operational Highlights

Total home closings double from ~2,900 in 2015 to ~5,600 in 2019

Total lot closings (excluding bulk sales transactions) are generally in the 4,000 to 5,000 range each year

Bulk sales transactions assume the monetization of 6,335 lots and 3,760 acres, generating approximately $375MM of cash proceeds

Absorption rate (sales per community per week) ranges from 0.9 to 1.4, with an average of 1.2

Total lot equivalents inventory reduced from 107,611 to approximately 63,500 at the of the projections period

7 Augmented Net Asset Value Analysis

Valuation Approach Summary

Methodology Summary

Project-by-project discounted cash flow analysis was used to value Banff’s land and housing assets

Other assets and liabilities are valued at their current book value as of 9/30/14, except where noted (i.e., Banff’s notes payable which include a mark-to-market adjustment)

Net asset value analysis conducts valuation of Banff on its current portfolio, and therefore does not include franchise value and future growth activities

Discounted Cash Flow Framework

Future cash flows were based on management projections

Discount rate methodology:

– Length of project: higher discount rates were used for projects that have a longer-term projections period

– Status of entitlement: unentitled projects were then given an incremental discount rate increase to account for entitlement risk

– Macro / market observations: further incremental adjustments (increase or decrease to discount rates) were also made based on a subjective assessment of certain economic, macro fundamentals, and / or market factors impacting Banff’s projections

Augmented NAV Analysis Methodology Summary

In order to fully capture the franchise value of the continuing, retained ability of Banff to generate homebuilder profit by buying land at market value and selling homes, an augmentation to the basic NAV approach is implemented

– Current homebuilder value minus the present value of housing profits implied by the NAV analysis is utilized to arrive at an incremental franchise value not captured in the underlying NAV cash flow projections
