A Year of Natural Achievements - Annual Review 2009

As a founding partner of the Santa Fe Conservation Trust, I’m proud of the ways this organization serves our community, for New Mexico’s ultimate value lies in what we are able to protect for future generations. Stewart Udall

Preserving Your World Is Our Nature

We Save Land

New Mexico is blessed with some of the most pristine landscapes in America—a beautiful land that supports and sustains us. Since 1994, the Santa Fe Conservation Trust (SFCT) has been on a mission to protect these disappearing natural areas.

New Mexico’s stunning, untouched landscapes—life–supporting lands essential for healthy wildlife, clean air, pure water, and food–producing soils—are rapidly disappearing. SFCT is helping to create a network of natural, open lands in and around our communities, forever protected for all living creatures.

The faith that our supporters place in their local land trust continues to reap wonderful rewards. Despite challenging economic times, in 2009, SFCT helped to secure the land, trails and star–filled skies everyone loves by: • teaming up with eight new landowner partners to add more than 2000 new acres to our protected lands in the Galisteo Basin, the Upper Pecos Watershed, and along the Rio Los Pinos; • making Santa Fe’s trails safer and stronger by repairing dozens of erosion and safety problems along the 30–mile Dale Ball Trail System; • rolling back light pollution by reaching hundreds of local residents with messages about star-friendly lighting solutions; and

By providing landowners with tools to place their lands into voluntary conservation status, we added 2,027 acres to our portfolio in 2009. We now oversee protection of more than 33,000 acres in northern New Mexico. We’re also partnering with the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market, the Permaculture Credit Union, and other non–profits to ensure our work reaches across socioeconomic and cultural groups. Together, we’re making conservation affordable for small–scale farmers—the people who provide the locally grown, organic foods vital to our region’s food security.

• advancing conservation for the small-scale organic farms critical to our local food security.

Along with our landowner partners the Kellys, our families have been enjoying this special place for over 30 years—the land, the river, the wildlife and the real sense of its uniqueness. Coming together with the Santa Fe Conservation Trust has made it possible to do what we have always wanted: to ensure that this land will remain just as it is, in perpetuity. We are grateful that the Trust and its dedicated staff have made possible a wonderful convergence of our interests with the public interests of New Mexico’s people.

Harlan & Chris Flint, Landowners along Los Pinos River

As our story unfolds in the coming pages, you’ll see why SFCT is more productive than ever. And, why we remain committed to preserving the places that matter to all New Mexicans.

Santa Fe Conservation Trust

I love the Dale Ball Trails. They’re a wonderful gift to the people of Santa Fe, and I want to help preserve them to be used and loved by generations to come. Being a team leader with the Trails Alliance is so much fun. We work hard and enjoy one another’s company, with the satisfaction of knowing our work means these trails will endure longer.

Judy Costlow, retired health educator and trails volunteer

We Preserve Trails

We Promise the Stars

Trails provide healthy exercise, connect us with nature, boost tourism economies, and enhance quality of life for all. SFCT envisions a system of well-built, well-maintained trails connecting New Mexico’s people, neighborhoods, and communities.

Light pollution is stealing the stars, in the process eroding our natural heritage and even threatening the health of all creatures. SFCT is helping to restore the magical, starry night skies for which New Mexico was once famous.

As part of the Trails Alliance of Santa Fe—a three–way partnership between SFCT and the City and County of Santa Fe—we coordinate volunteers to help create and maintain the beautiful trails used by hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors each year.

Our Evening Star Events reach hundreds of supporters with illuminating messages about simple steps to help reduce light pollution and preserve our oldest natural wonder. Together we can brighten the future by restoring the dark to our state’s wondrous night skies.

Given the frustration I feel at so much going on in the world today, it feels especially good to be part of the Trails Alliance team. Working with my fellow volunteers and sharing our tools and our experience, we’re creating a safe path for others to follow, and doing our part to help heal the Earth.

Thank you, SFCT, for the wonderful night on the “Evening Star Train” ! I loved being on a train filled with people dedicated to conserving our open space. I loved that the Trust helped to create the Rail Trail along the train, and that the train was stopping in the grand and beautiful Galisteo Basin Preserve (another phenomenal place protected by the Trust). But most of all I loved looking up into the dark night sky and realizing that you do not just stop at protecting mama earth beneath our feet, but you also work to preserve our views of the starry heavens above.

Nancy King, author and trails volunteer

For each of these generous gifts I am deeply grateful and send you all blessings. Suby Bowden, architect

We enjoyed your star party in the Galisteo Basin very much, including the beautiful view of the Milky Way, which was very much a part of our childhood in West Texas. Now we can’t see it from our house because of light pollution. Later that week, we noticed that our landscaper had installed three garden lights that, though low wattage, still threw glare directly up into the sky. Recalling your astronomer’s message that Santa Fe is losing its night sky “one light at a time,” it was easy to make a decision to remove them. With luck, others will do the same and we’ll gradually conquer light pollution. Thank you for a memorable evening—and for all you do for New Mexico’s magnificent night skies.

Larry and Lauren Prescott, Santa Fe residents

EMERITUS

We Work Natural and Financial Wonders On a lean operating budget, SFCT performs huge accomplishments. Our small, dedicated staff is operationally efficient. Even in a struggling economy, we’re stable, strong, and more productive than ever. With a 2009 operating budget of only $342,000, we were able to help protect eight new properties and 2,027 acres; repair Santa Fe’s aging, well-loved trail systems; reduce light pollution; and advance conservation for small-scale organic farms. There’s much more on the horizon at SFCT. Your generous support will allow us to continue giving back to nature what New Mexico has been so blessed to receive. Let’s keep on protecting the land beneath our feet… the starry skies above… and the trails that connect our communities. INCOME SOURCE 2009 Operating Budget $324,000

PALNET. The Greenest Link in Your Supply Chain.

At PALNET, we can help you green up your supply chain, right from the bottom up, starting with your pallet. Despite what any supplier claims, there’s no more ecologically friendly pallet than a wooden pallet. PALNET pallets start out as the unusable excess trim from the lumbering process, trim that might otherwise end up as unnecessary waste in our already overflowing landfills. Once that trim becomes a pallet, they’re recycled, reclaimed and repaired over and over again until they are no longer useful as pallets and end up just like this bag of mulch. PALNET pallets are green from beginning to end.

The 4 “R’s” at PALNET At PALNET, we take the environment seriously. We make use of every “R” in the recycling chain. We recycle, repair, reuse and reduce waste in what we make and what we do.

Think Global. Act Local. Our pallets end up as garden mulch. In today’s eco-conscious business world, there’s no more important act of sustainability than greening up your supply chain. If you’re not already doing it, you soon will be as pressure mounts to embrace and support sustainability in every way you can.

Palnet USA www.palnetusa.com

PALNET strongly supports another important aspect of sustainability-sustaining the local economy. Our network of strong local provider is nationwide providing the best of both worlds; national scope and local presence. When you choose PALNET, you are choosing to support local business that builds strong local economies.

Corporate Responsibility We believe in corporate responsibility in everything we do. We are strong supporters of environmental stewardship. Last year alone our production methods and material choices diverted over 1.25 million tons of waste from area landfills. But at PALNET, our corporate responsibilities extend beyond our products to the conditions we create for our employees and our member partners. This includes the safety and working conditions of our plants, the way we treat our employees, the opportunities for advancement we help provide, as well as our strict adherence to best hiring practices and zero tolerance toward the employment of undocumented workers. At PALNET, we believe the most important environment we can create is the one in which we do business. To that end, PALNET has redefined the pallet business right from the ground up -- offering services, commitment, execution and trust to our customers, our partners and our employees. And from our perspective, that is the very core of sustainability, responsibility and accountability.

Building an Exceptional Future on an Exceptional Past

“For our investors, we focus on substance over form; quality over appearance. Our buildings are not always the biggest or most beautiful. They are typically not “trophy” assets or in the most high-priced markets. But they are backbones of American business - real places where real people live and work. That is why, they have provided real value and measurable returns, time after time; investment after investment.” Andrew T. Nichols President – BGK - Integrated Group

“A market downturn doesn’t bother us. As long-term investors, it is an opportunity to increase our ownership of great companies with great management at good prices”. Warren Buffett Dear Investors and Financial Services Professionals: I am pleased to introduce you to our company, BGK-Integrated Group. We offer investors a variety of real estate investment opportunities. With a large inventory of institutional quality properties, our investment programs target different income, growth, capital preservation, tax objectives and risk tolerances. We provide co-ownership, limited partnership, and direct ownership interests in single properties, as well as multiple properties, mortgages and other real estate assets. Those assets include office, multi-family, retail, mixed-use, and industrial facilities. Many successful investors believe that real estate is a powerful tool for building wealth. We could not agree more. No matter what the prevailing market conditions, there are always great opportunities in real estate, if you know where to look and what to look for. Since 1991, our organization has consistently found those opportunities in both up and down markets. What has made us so successful? A combination of discipline and vision - pure and simple. In acquiring assets, we combine disciplined due diligence processes with a keen eye for value. We enhance that value through innovative, hands-on management. This approach has helped us succeed when others have failed. We are certainly yield driven, but do not compromise our underwriting standards - no matter how attractive an investment may appear on the surface. While historic performance is no guaranty of future results, our organization’s track record highlights average annual returns of over twenty percent on full-cycle transactions. Building on our solid foundation, we have a clear vision for the future. Our capital, experience and relationships position us well to find new opportunities that leverage our resources to take advantage of prevailing market conditions. We will also create opportunities by using “green” and other innovative technologies to make buildings more efficient and attractive to tenants.

vision and discipline has helped us become big about bgk-integrated group (big) and its affiliates

We are part of the BGK Group, which since acquiring its first property in 1991, has grown to one of the nation’s largest, private real estate firms. Over $800 Million of investor capital has funded the purchase of more than 300 properties in 30 states valued at over $2 Billion. With a vision for value and disciplined acquisition strategies, those properties have performed well in both up and down cycles.

the big difference Our company is different, and that difference is our big advantage. First and foremost, our business is real estate. Real estate is not a new venture or sideline – it is what history confirms we do well. We buy quality assets, and do our best to make them perform better. • Sound

Strategies Supported by Historic Performance - Successful strategies are measured by history. For nearly two decades, we have used time-tested strategies to buy for the right price, at the right time, in the right places. We target regions we believe will be stable and less prone to boom and bust cycles. While historic performance does not guaranty future results, average annual returns on more than 75 full-cycle programs through 2008 have exceeded 20%.

• Experience

- Our seasoned management team has expertise and knowledge of virtually all aspects of real estate acquisitions, financing, operations, leasing and sales. That team currently includes almost 200 employees, in 5 offices, managing approximately 18,000,000 square feet of commercial space nationwide.

• Financial

Strength - In today’s volatile marketplace financial strength is critical. Our organization is well capitalized with hundreds of millions of dollars of cash, credit lines, and mortgage facilities, and low levels of debt. This gives us the ability to take advantage of the many opportunities that market down-cycles produce for those with the strength and resources to act.

• Large

and Loyal Investor Base - Over 2,500 investors have participated in our organization’s programs since 1991. The large number of repeat investors is a testament to our organizations track record of success. We maintain strong investor relations and process over 10,000 returns and reports annually.

We invite you to become part of an investor family that for nearly 20 years has benefited from well-structured real estate investments. That family has grown to thousands of individuals, many of whom invest over and over. That growth is a compelling and rewarding reflection on our track record and management team.

• Underwriting / Transparency

We look forward to helping you achieve your investment goals for years to come.

• Vision

Andrew Nichols President

- There has never been a time when rigorous due diligence is as important as right now. We apply strict due diligence processes to hedge downside exposure, and apply transparent underwriting assumptions based on fact, not mere speculation. - A keen vision for opportunity helps us find value in areas often overlooked by others. We also see the future of “green” buildings and technologies as a way to enhance returns, reduce costs and create a competitive edge for our properties.

• Diversity - Diversity can be the hallmark of stability. With a portfolio of hundreds of properties and

on-going acquisitions, we can offer investors a wide range of properties, geographies, asset classes, and ownership structures.

the benefits of investing in the right real estate, right now

Programs

diversity, income, appreciation, capital protection, and tax savings

Successful investors have long found real estate to be a prudent and valuable part of a diversified, tax advantaged wealth-building strategy. Real estate is tangible, enduring and solid, and can provide many distinct benefits: • Current

Cash Flow – investments are often structured to provide monthly or quarterly distributions or dividends. Preservation and Protection – as a tangible asset, real estate historically sustains value over time. Returns may be impacted by economic cycles, but well underwritten and capitalized projects, with conservative debt, may have less of the volatility and capital risks of stock market and other investments.

• §1031 Exchanges (Tenancies-In Common (TICs) and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) • Limited Partnerships (LPs) and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) • Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

Propperty Types • (Single Properties and Multi-Asset Pools) • Office • Multi-Family • Retail • Mixed-use • Industrial • Raw or partially improved land

Asset Dynamics Stabilized - current cash flow. Lower risk and modest appreciation potential • Value-Added - some current income. Moderate risk and good potential for income and value appreciation • Opportunistic - no current income. Greater risk and strong appreciation/yield potential.

• Capital

the big porfolio of properties

• Capital

Appreciation/Inflation Hedge – historically, real estate can provide a hedge against the value erosion of inflation, and real estate values may actually benefit from inflation.

• Tax

Advantages – real estate not only provides shelter in a physical sense, but distributions from real estate can be a shelter from taxes through depreciation, energy and other credits. Even if such sheltered income can be “recaptured” on sale, it may be taxed at lower rates or deferred through a §1031 exchange.

• Diversification

– a diversified portfolio targeted to different goals and asset classes may provide greater protection from capital loss and market volatility. As a non-correlated asset, real estate can be an important part of a diversified portfolio. While past performance is no guaranty of future results, research shows that investors with real estate in their portfolios from 1998 to 2007 had higher returns and less volatility:
