Mold Assessment Summary Client Name Project Address Date of Inspection November 21, 2022 Scope Entire Structure Ilia Belov 2003 Canterbury Street ~ Austin, TX 78702 Summary of Findings and Lab Results My inspection revealed the following suspect conditions: • Visible mold-like growth • Elevated moisture content • Water damage or staining Samples were recommended according to the conditions observed and/or the reported complaints or concerns. Surface samples were collected from areas of visible mold-like growth, and laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of mold on the areas sampled as follows: • Crawlspace – Floor Truss • Primary Bedroom – Wall drywall • Kitchen – Ceiling Drywall Air samples were collected from the following areas, and laboratory analysis indicated the airborne mold spore concentration levels to be statistically elevated when compared to the outdoor air sample collected at the same time and place. Based on these results, there is a high likelihood that an indoor source of mold growth in the tested area is amplifying the indoor levels as follows: • Kitchen • Primary Bedroom • Primary Bathroom • Living Room Final Conclusion Based on the findings of the visual inspection and/or the lab results of the samples collected, mold remediation is needed. Corporate Office: (512) 535-2493 • 10403 Quail Ridge Dr., Austin, TX 78704 www.MoldInspectionTexas.com  Recommendations 1. Engage Mold Inspection Sciences to write a Mold Remediation Protocol for the remediation project which is to include the following areas: • Living Room (<25 SF) • Kitchen (<25 SF) • Primary Bedroom (<25 SF) • Primary Bathroom (<25 SF) If less than (< 25 SF) 25 SF of visible mold growth was present, according to the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules (Rules), Exceptions and Exemptions, (b) Minimum area exemption, “A person is not required to be licensed under this subchapter to perform mold remediation in an area in which the mold contamination for the project affects a total surface area of less than 25 contiguous square feet.” In this case, a Licensed Mold Remediation Contractor is not required, but we strongly recommend hiring a licensed company. NOTICE: According to the Texas Mold and Remediation Rules (Rules): Regardless of the size of the area affected by mold contamination, if a licensed Mold Remediation Contractor is hired by the consumer, the Mold Remediation Contractor must follow the Rules. This includes developing a work plan which follows a protocol developed by a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant. A Mold Remediation Protocol is a detailed scope of work for the mold remediation work that is needed. 1. If concerned about hidden mold growth, consider engaging a Licensed Mold Remediation Company to perform invasive exploration in these areas as follows: • Laundry Room – Wet ceiling NOTICE: If mold growth is discovered, TMARR becomes applicable, and all mold regulations must be followed prior to any mold remediation. 2. Engage a licensed professional to evaluate and repair, as necessary, all water intrusion and/or excess moisture issues discovered. 3. Engage a water restoration company to properly dry-out all areas/materials which we found to have excess moisture content. 4. HVAC Problems - Engage a licensed HVAC contractor to evaluate and repair as necessary. The following items should be included: • Check the HVAC system for proper functioning and airflow balancing • Identify the cause of excessive condensation and/or high relative humidity associated with the system CAUTION: Any time water infiltrates ceilings and/or wall cavities and/or under/behind cabinetry or flooring, hidden mold growth is possible. Inform non-licensed contractors of the possibility of hidden mold growth.

Corporate Office: (512) 535-2493 www.MoldInspectionTexas.com  Section 3: Mold Samples Currently, there are no generally accepted standards or government regulations for "normal" or "safe" airborne mold spore exposure levels. As such, spore counts are compared to a baseline, outdoor sample. In general, indoor spore counts should be statistically similar to the outdoor counts and proportionately similar in terms of spore types. • • If the indoor results are statistically similar to the outdoor results, we consider the airborne mold spore levels to be normal. • When the airborne mold levels indoors are not statistically similar, the results may indicate an indoor source of mold, which is amplifying the airborne levels of one or more types of mold. If there are water marker mold types (Stachybotrys, Chaetomium, Ulocladium, and Memnoniella) present in an indoor air sample, this is usually a clear indicator of a moisture and mold concern in the area tested. • When the indoor levels of one particular type of mold are significantly higher than the outdoor levels of the same mold type, this is usually a clear indicator of a mold concern in the area tested.

Corporate Office: (512) 535-2493 www.MoldInspectionTexas.com  Surface samples should be understood as either present or absent. It is not the amount of mold detected or not detected on a surface sample that indicates a concern, but whether or not mold growth is present. The EPA states that mold should not be growing inside a structure; therefore, when mold growth is found inside a structure, the goal should be to remove the mold and remedy the cause.

Corporate Office: (512) 535-2493 www.MoldInspectionTexas.com  Section 4: Methodologies General Methodology A mold assessment normally includes the following: o Visual inspection and procedural assessment focused on the discovery of signs of mold growth and moisture intrusion o Use of a moisture meter to help locate areas of actively wet building materials and to test suspect areas o Analytical analysis by collection of microbial samples requested by client and submission of samples to a licensed microbiology lab for analysis o Provision of a written report of the limited mold inspection findings and, where applicable, a lab report of the sample analysis Laboratory Services Microbial samples collected by MISTX are submitted under chain of custody to a laboratory licensed by the state of Texas. If samples were collected, the laboratory’s report is included as an attachment to this report. Sampling Methodologies Air Samples – Air sampling for total fungi is designed to count and identify the presence of total fungal material (i.e. culturable and non-culturable spores) in a measured volume of air. The air samples are collected via the spore trap method with the use of a Zefon Air-O-Cell. Airflow through the cassette is produced by an electrically powered air-sampling device set and calibrated to a flow rate of 15 liters per minute. The sample cassettes are then sealed and submitted to the laboratory via a chain of custody for analysis. Wall/Ceiling Cavity Samples – Cavity samples are collected by drilling a small (1/4″) hole into the drywall or other material, then inserting a plastic tube into the hole through which an air sample is pulled. The cavity air sample is collected using the same media and method as stated above for standard air sampling. Surface Swab Samples – Surface swab samples are collected using sterile swabs enclosed in sterile tubes which contain a transport media solution. These samples are collected by moistening the swab with the provided solution and then swabbing the suspect area. The swabs are then inserted into the sterile tubes, sealed, and submitted to the laboratory via a chain of custody for analysis. Surface Tape Samples– Surface tape samples collected using a forensic tape lift kit. These samples are collected by pressing the tape media slide to the surface of a building material. The Bio-Tape slide is then sealed in its included case and submitted to the laboratory via a chain of custody for analysis.

Corporate Office: (512) 535-2493 www.MoldInspectionTexas.com  Relative Humidity Readings Relative humidity (RH) readings were obtained from both the interior and exterior of the property. The RH was measured and recorded to determine the potential effect it may have on microbial amplification. Guidance on RH in occupied buildings is provided by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2016, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. The RH in habitable spaces preferably should be maintained between 30% and 60% to minimize the growth of allergenic and pathogenic organisms (e.g., dust mites, fungi and associated mycotoxins). Moisture Content Readings A moisture meter was utilized on this project to measure the moisture content (MC) of certain building materials (walls, ceilings, flooring, etc.) throughout the structure, especially areas suspect of water intrusion. Measurement and recording of MC is performed to detect building materials containing unacceptable levels of moisture. Fungal growth requires moisture, a food source, and fungal spores. Thus, wood and building materials that are continuously dry should not promote microbial growth. Construction materials with elevated MC are likely to promote fungal growth. It is recommended that the source of moisture be located and corrected immediately. NOTE: When a moisture meter is used in a non-penetrating manner, it is possible to obtain a reading of “Red” even if there is no excessive moisture. This can occur when there are certain types of materials below the surface being measured; such as metal. Moisture readings should be used as a guide for further testing and investigation only. Infrared Camera Readings An infrared camera was utilized on this project to measure temperature anomalies in certain building materials (walls, ceilings, flooring, etc.) throughout the structure, especially areas suspect of moisture or water intrusion. Thermography is performed to assist in locating moisture issues in the structure.

Corporate Office: (512) 535-2493 www.MoldInspectionTexas.com  Section 5: Applicable Regulations Asbestos Containing Materials in Single Family Dwellings Single family dwellings, that are to remain single family dwellings, do not fall under the definition of a “public building” or “commercial building” as defined in the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rules (TAHPR). Therefore, TAHPR does not require suspect materials to be sampled prior to disturbance or removed. However, federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations concerning asbestos do apply, and any contractor that will disturb the material must be advised that it contains asbestos. Materials such as sheet rock wall and ceiling systems, and flooring materials and mastics are just some examples of materials that could contain asbestos. Texas Mold Regulations Under the Rules for Mold Assessors and Remediators, Administrative Rules of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, 16 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 78 (Effective November 1, 2017), https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/mld/mldrules090118.pdf, all companies and individuals who perform mold-related activities must have the appropriate licensing from the TDLR. For more information about mold and the Rules for Assessors and Remediators, visit the TDLR website: https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/mld/mldrules.htm. NOTICE: This Report is NOT A MOLD REMEDIATION PROTOCOL. If there is less than 25 contiguous square feet of visible mold growth, hiring a licensed Mold Remediation Contractor is not required by the Texas Rules. However: All licensed Mold Remediation Contractors must follow a Mold Remediation Protocol, and the Mold Remediation Contractor must follow all Rules. This includes developing a work plan which follows a Protocol developed by a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant,” per the Rules. A Mold Remediation Protocol is a detailed scope of work for the mold remediation work that is needed. If desired, MISTX can write a Mold Remediation Protocol for this project upon request. Fees are based on the size of the project, the estimated time it will take to write the Protocol and manage the project.

It is rare for the source of basidiospores to be indoors. However, basidiospores may be an indicator of wood decay.Cladosporium: One of the most commonly found molds outdoors and frequently found growing indoors. Spores from Cladosporium are generally present in outdoor and indoor air, even in relatively clean, mold-growth-free, indoor environments. Levels vary based upon activity levels, weather conditions, dustiness, outside air exchange rates, and other factors.Penicillium/Aspergillus types: Penicillium and Aspergillus are among the most common molds found growing both indoors and outdoors (even in relatively clean, mold-growth-free, indoor environments). Levels vary based upon activity levels, dustiness, weather conditions, outside air exchange rates, and other factors.Stachybotrys and other marker types: Certain types of mold, such as Aureobasidium, Chaetomium, Fusarium, Trichoderma, and Ulocladium, are generally found in very low numbers outdoors. Consequently their presence indoors, even in relatively low numbers, is often an indication that these molds are originating from growth indoors. When present, these mold types are often the clearest indicator of a mold problem.Others: Molds in the "Others" category are generally found outdoors in moderate numbers, and are therefore not considered markers of indoor growth.EMLab ID: 3090793, Page 4 of 4Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLCMold Inspection Sciences Texas, Inc.Lab ReportPO Box 270664Louisville, CO 80027 USA(512) 535-2493This report is generated by Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC at the request, and for the exclusive use, of the Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC client named in this report.

A high MoldSCORE™ indicates a high likelihood of mold growth in the area tested at the time of the inspection. If mold growth is in fact present, it should be cleaned or physically removed using appropriate controls and precautions by a trained professional and any associated water source that led to the problem should also be corrected.Please see the sections titled "Detailed Results of the Air Sample Analysis" and "Understanding Your Air Sample Analysis Results" for important additional information.LocationMoldSCORE™Exposure LevelST01: Kitchen [North] 35238084 * see p. 4 for detailsLowerHigherMold<110200300Score300LowerHigherLocationOutside<2001K10K>70Kspores/m3spores/m31,490400ST02: Primary Bedroom [North] 35238073 * see p. 5 for detailsLowerHigherMold<110200300Score297LowerHigherLocationOutside<2001K10K>70Kspores/m3spores/m3742400ST03: Primary Bathroom [North] 35238040 * see p. 6 for detailsLowerHigherMold<110200300Score286LowerHigherLocationOutside<2001K10K>70Kspores/m3spores/m31,746400ST04: Living Room [North] 35238101 * see p. 7 for detailsLowerHigherMold<110200300Score300LowerHigherLocationOutside<2001K10K>70Kspores/m3spores/m3786400Surface Sample Summary:The surface sample results of DE01, DE02, DE03 indicated mold growth on the surface(s) sampled at the time of sampling.Please see the sections titled "Detailed Results of the Surface Sample Analysis", "Understanding Your Surface Sample Analysis Results", "Important Information, Terms and Conditions" and "Scope and Limitations" for additional information.LocationMold GrowthDominant TypesDE01: Kitchen (Ceiling) [North] * see p. 12 for detailsMold GrowthStachybotrys speciesDE02: Primary Bedroom (Wall) [North] * see p. 13 for detailsMold GrowthCladosporium speciesPapulaspora-like speciesDE03: Crawlspace (Crawl space ) [North] * see p. 14 for detailsMold GrowthColorless spore type, ID unknownBrown hyphae with no associated spores, ID unknown.EMLab ID: 3090793, Page 3 of 22Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLCClient: Mold Inspection Sciences Texas, Inc.MoldREPORTEurofins EMLab P & KContact: Lab ReportProject: 20221121_ILIA-BELOV_2003-CANTERBURY-ST; 2003 Canterbury St Austin, TX 78702Date of Sampling: 11-21-2022Date of Receipt: 11-22-2022Date of Report: 11-23-20223113 Red Bluff Road, Suite B, Pasadena, TX 77503(800) 651-4802 Fax (623) 780-7695This report is generated by Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC at the request, and for the exclusive use, of the Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC client named in this report.

A MoldSCORE™ rating of <150 is low and indicates a low probability of spores originating inside. A MoldSCORE™ rating of >250 is high and indicates a high probability that the spores originated from inside, presumably from indoor mold growth. A MoldSCORE™ between 150 and 250 indicates a moderate likelihood of indoor fungal growth. Eurofins EMLab P&K's MoldSCORE™ analysis is NOT intended for wall cavity samples. It is intended for ambient air samples in residences. Using the MoldSCORE™ analysis on other samples (like wall cavity samples) will lead to misleading results.** The spores of Penicillium and Aspergillus (and others such as Acremonium and Paecilomyces) are small and round with very few distinguishing characteristics. They cannot be differentiated by spore trap sampling methods. Also some species with very small spores are easily missed, and may be undercounted. The Penicillium/Aspergillus indicator operates on the assumption that the majority of the spores in this category are, in fact, Penicillium or Aspergillus.*** The spores reported in this category come from many different mold types. As a result, the mold types represented by the counts for the "Location" sample may be different than the mold types represented by the counts for the outside sample.**** The spores of smuts, Periconia, and myxomycetes look similar and cannot generally be distinguished by spore trap analysis. Smuts are plant pathogens and are not likely to be on indoor surfaces. Periconia is rarely found growing indoors. However, myxomycetes, the spores of which look similar, can occasionally grow indoors. Because there is a small probability of indoor sources, these spore types are indicated in the "other" spore types category. False positives may result if the spores are smuts, not myxomycetes.EMLab ID: 3090793, Page 7 of 22Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLCClient: Mold Inspection Sciences Texas, Inc.MoldREPORTEurofins EMLab P & KContact: Lab ReportProject: 20221121_ILIA-BELOV_2003-CANTERBURY-ST; 2003 Canterbury St Austin, TX 78702Date of Sampling: 11-21-2022Date of Receipt: 11-22-2022Date of Report: 11-23-20223113 Red Bluff Road, Suite B, Pasadena, TX 77503(800) 651-4802 Fax (623) 780-7695This report is generated by Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC at the request, and for the exclusive use, of the Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC client named in this report.

Generally, in "normal" or "clean" indoor environments, indoor spore levels are lower, on average, than outdoor levels. However, even the most simple rules (such as "inside/outside" ratios) are not always appropriate for determining whether there is a source of mold growthindoors, and may provide false or misleading results. One reason these simple methods do not always work is because both outdoor and indoor spores levels vary widely due to factors such as weather conditions and activity levels within the room. For example, even in a "normal" home, spore levels can be higher than outdoors at certain times, such as after vacuuming (when airborne indoor levels could be unusually high) or after a heavy snow (when outdoor levels could be unusually low). MoldREPORT™ is designed and intended to provide an easily understood report for residential home inspections to help in the assessment of mold growth in the living areas sampled. MoldREPORT™ relies on non-invasive and non-destructive tests, so it cannot guarantee that hidden mold problems will be detected and reported. MoldREPORT™ results apply only to the rooms or areas tested, at the time of sampling. Factors taken into consideration include, but are not limited to, the distribution of spore types, absolute levels inside and outside, relative levels inside and outside, the range and variation of spore levels that normally occur outside, and the types of spores present. Providing you with a helpful, understandable and top quality interpretation requires special expertise. Eurofins EMLab P&K recognizes this and has taken the following steps to provide the best possible interpretation of your air sampling results.1. Your samples were analyzed by Eurofins EMLab P&K, 2. We utilize the proprietary MoldREPORT™ analysis system, which was developed by a team including leading professionals in the indoor air quality (IAQ) industry.MoldSCORE™The MoldSCORE™ indicates the likelihood, based upon the air sample laboratory data, that there is unusual or excessive mold growth in the properly sampled indoor area(s). It is calculated using Eurofins EMLab P&K's proprietary MoldREPORT™ system, based upon the indicator scores described in the following paragraphs. When the on-site inspection and sampling are done properly, MoldREPORT™ is less likely to give false results than other, simpler methods of interpretation often employed for routine home inspections, such as ratio analysis. It is important to bear in mind that any analytical method, findings, and interpretation should be used with a degree of caution and common sense. Any decisions related to health should be made in consultation with a medical doctor, and nothing in this report is intended to provide medical advice or indicate whether a medical or safety problem exists.Descriptions of the indicators:Quantity and concentration of Penicillium/Aspergillus spore typesThis score indicates the likelihood that spores of Penicillium or Aspergillus present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources. A high score suggests that there is a high probability that Penicillium or Aspergillus is originating indoors, such as from active mold growth. A low score indicates that the spores present are more likely to have originated from outdoor sources and come inside through doors and windows, carried in on people's clothing, or similar methods. Penicillium and Aspergillus are among the most common molds found growing indoors and are one of the more commonly found molds outside as well. Their spores are frequently present in both outdoor and indoor air, even in relatively clean, mold-growth-free, indoor environments. Additionally, their levels vary significantly based upon activity levels, dustiness, weather conditions, outside air exchange rates, and other factors.EMLab ID: 3090793, Page 8 of 22Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLCClient: Mold Inspection Sciences Texas, Inc.MoldREPORTEurofins EMLab P & KContact: Lab ReportProject: 20221121_ILIA-BELOV_2003-CANTERBURY-ST; 2003 Canterbury St Austin, TX 78702Date of Sampling: 11-21-2022Date of Receipt: 11-22-2022Date of Report: 11-23-20223113 Red Bluff Road, Suite B, Pasadena, TX 77503(800) 651-4802 Fax (623) 780-7695This report is generated by Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC at the request, and for the exclusive use, of the Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC client named in this report.

A high rating indicates that there is probably a source of Cladosporium spores in this location. Cladosporium is one of the most commonly found molds outdoors and is also frequently found growing indoors. Even more so than Penicillium and Aspergillus, spores from Cladosporium are generally present in outdoor and indoor air,even in relatively clean, mold-growth-free, indoor environments. Its levels also vary based upon activity levels, weather conditions, dustiness, outside air exchange rates, and other factors.Quantity and concentration of basidiosporesThis score indicates the likelihood that basidiospores present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources. Basidiospores are extremely common outdoors and originate from fungi in gardens, forests, and woodlands. It is rare for the source of basidiospores to be indoors because basidiospores are produced by a group of fungi that includes mushrooms and other "macrofungi" (and are not technically molds). Their concentrations can be extremely high outdoors during wet conditions such as rain. Nevertheless, in certain conditions basidiospores can be produced indoors, and a high rating indicates that there is probably a source of basidiospores indoors. One reason basidiospores are important is that they can be an indicator of wood decay (e.g. "dry rot"), a condition that can dramatically reduce the structural integrity of a building.Quantity and concentration of "marker" spore typesThis score indicates the likelihood that certain distinctive types of mold present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources. Certain types of mold are generally found in very low numbers outdoors. Consequently, their presence indoors, even in relatively low numbers compared to Penicillium, for example, is often an indication that these molds are originating from growth indoors. When present, these mold types are often the clearest indicator of a mold problem. Note, however, that the absence of marker spore types does not mean that a mold problem does not exist in a house; it just means that if a problem is present, it either involves types of mold that are more commonly found both indoors and outdoors, or that the spores from these molds were not airborne at the time of sampling.Quantity and concentration of "other" spore typesThis score indicates the likelihood that other types of mold present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources. This score includes a heterogeneous group of genera that are not covered by any of the scores discussed above, and so it is difficult to make generalizations about this group. Molds in the "other" category are generally found outdoors in moderate numbers, and are therefore not considered markers of indoor growth. They are frequentlyfound indoors but in lower numbers compared to Cladosporium and Penicillium/Aspergillus spores.Other Sample Information:Sample clarity and visibilityAir samples collect dirt and debris in addition to mold spores. Higher levels of debris make analysis more difficult, because they obscure the analyst's view of spores and can therefore lead to undercounting of the mold spores present.When sample clarity and visibility is rated "poor", the analytical results should be regarded as minimal and actual counts may be higher than reported.Other "normal trapping" sporesSome molds do not grow on wet building materials and, consequently, are not usually indicative of building problems,or growth on building surfaces. Strict plant pathogens, for example, even if present in high numbers indoors, are not an indication of a building leak or mold growth on a wall or carpet. This section of the report focuses on the exposurelevel that may be due to these spore types.EMLab ID: 3090793, Page 9 of 22Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLCClient: Mold Inspection Sciences Texas, Inc.MoldREPORTEurofins EMLab P & KContact: Lab ReportProject: 20221121_ILIA-BELOV_2003-CANTERBURY-ST; 2003 Canterbury St Austin, TX 78702Date of Sampling: 11-21-2022Date of Receipt: 11-22-2022Date of Report: 11-23-20223113 Red Bluff Road, Suite B, Pasadena, TX 77503(800) 651-4802 Fax (623) 780-7695This report is generated by Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC at the request, and for the exclusive use, of the Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC client named in this report.

This result, by itself, is evidence for, but does not prove, the absence of indoor mold growth in the location sampled.Mold is a living organism that can grow very rapidly under certain conditions. If any portion of the room tested is, or has been, damp for an extended period since the time of testing, the likelihood of mold growth may have increased substantially since the time of the inspection.MoldSCORE™ Level: MODERATEThe air sampling MoldSCORE™ indicated the possibility of mold growth indoors. Generally, a MODERATE level means that theresults are inconclusive, and suggests that a more detailed inspection may make sense if there are any other reasons to believe that mold growth could be a problem in this location. Indoor mold growth is a possibility, but was not confirmed in the areas sampled at the time of the inspection. Factors such as recent cleaning, HVAC cycles, high winds, rain, or other indoor or outdoorconditions could have contributed to a MODERATE result in the absence of indoor mold growth. If mold growth is found, regardless of the magnitude of the growth, it is recommended that the growth be physically removed using appropriate controls and precautions. If mold has been located and removed, it is also important to identify and correct the source of moisture or dampness that allowed the mold to grow. If the affected area becomes moist again, mold growth will occur again. We recommendthat you consult a professional if you are not familiar with how to locate and safely remove mold growth or how to identify and correct moisture problems that may exist.Mold is a living organism that can grow very rapidly under certain conditions.

This method of analysis is an effective means of determining whether or not mold is growing on the surface sampled, and if so, what kinds of molds are present. A direct microscopic examination, in the absence of evidence of growth on the surface sampled, may also occasionally pick up indications of mold growth in the vicinity based upon the mix of spore types present in the sample. Most surfaces collect a mix of spores that are normally present in the environment. At times it is possible to note a skewing of the normal distribution of spore types, and also to note marker genera that may indicate indoor mold growth. Note that locating an area of mold growth indoors using surface samples does not provide information regarding airborne spore levels. Mold growth presentSamples are examined for the presence of mold growth, as indicated by groups, clumps, and/or chains of single spore types, usually accompanied by intact mycelial and/or sporulating structures. These areas of growth are then identifiedto genus name, if possible. Quantities are estimated and are graded on a scale from "Low" to "High," with "High" denoting the highest amount.If mold growth is found, regardless of the magnitude of the growth, it is recommended that the growth be physically removed using appropriate controls and precautions. If mold has been located and removed, it is also important to identify and correct the source of moisture or dampness that allowed the mold to grow. If the affected area becomes moist again, mold growth will occur again. We recommend that you consult a professional if you are not familiar withhow to locate and safely remove mold growth or how to identify and correct moisture problems that may exist.Miscellaneous spores presentThis is a measure of the mix of spores that are present and are indicative of normal conditions, in other words, seen normally on surfaces almost everywhere. This includes basidiospores (mushroom spores), myxomycetes ("slime molds"), plant pathogens such as rusts and smuts, and a mix of saprobic mold with no particular spore type predominating. The distribution of these spore types resembles that seen outdoors.Background debrisBackground debris is an indication of the amounts of non-biological particulate matter present. This background material is graded and described as light, medium, heavy, or very heavy. Very heavy background debris may obscure visibility for the analyst. Bulk samples are not graded in this category.Other commentsAdditional relevant information is provided, such as the presence of marker genera or the abnormal distribution of spore types. Bacteria may be noted, as well as significant numbers of other biological particles such as algae, lichen, dust mites, etc. In addition, when deemed to be helpful, non-biological particles are also described.EMLab ID: 3090793, Page 15 of 22Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLCClient: Mold Inspection Sciences Texas, Inc.MoldREPORTEurofins EMLab P & KContact: Lab ReportProject: 20221121_ILIA-BELOV_2003-CANTERBURY-ST; 2003 Canterbury St Austin, TX 78702Date of Sampling: 11-21-2022Date of Receipt: 11-22-2022Date of Report: 11-23-20223113 Red Bluff Road, Suite B, Pasadena, TX 77503(800) 651-4802 Fax (623) 780-7695This report is generated by Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC at the request, and for the exclusive use, of the Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC client named in this report.

Because different methods of sampling, collection and analysis exist within the indoor air quality industry, different inspectors or analysts may not always agree on the mold concentrations present in a given environment. Additionally, the airborne levels of mold change frequently and by large amounts due to many factors including activity levels, weather, air exchange rates (indoors), and disturbance of growth sites. It is possible for report interpretations and ranges of accuracy to vary since comprehensive, generally accepted industry standards do not currently exist for indoor air quality inspections of mold in residential indoor environments. MoldREPORT™ is intended to provide an analysis based upon samples taken at the site at the time of the inspection. Mold levels can and do change rapidly, especially if home building materials or contents remain wet for more than 24 hours, or if they are wet frequently.

Eurofins EMLab P&K cannot be liable, in any form of action, for any items that are not included within the scope of the MoldREPORT™ system.MoldREPORT™ Inspection LimitationsMoldREPORT™ results are based upon mold air and surface samples. Mold surface samples are useful for confirming and identifying mold growth while air samples measure airborne mold levels. This report provided by Eurofins EMLab P&K is based upon the assumption that the information provided by the inspector is true and correct, that a sufficient number of mold and air samples were collected at all the appropriate locations following proper inspection and sampling protocols, and that the mold samples collected represent normal conditions at the site sampled. Eurofins EMLab P&K is not able to, and cannot, guarantee the skill level or experience of the inspector performing the MoldREPORT™ inspection, nor can it guarantee that the samples have been properly collected at the site or are representative of normal conditions since many factors outside of Eurofins EMLab P&K's (and the inspector's) control can and do substantially affect mold levels. Consequently, Eurofins EMLab P&K cannot guarantee the accuracy of the interpretation provided herein. It isthe responsibility of the inspector to insure that the mold samples were collected properly. MoldREPORT™ relies on non-invasive and non-destructive tests, so it cannot guarantee that hidden mold problems will be detected and reported. MoldREPORT™ results apply only to the rooms sampled, not to the entire building or any other rooms. It is the responsibility of the property owner, potential purchaser or other end-user of this report to select a properly trained and qualified inspector.About Air Sample Sampling and AnalysisEurofins EMLab P&K requires at least one outdoor air sample and one indoor air sample in order to make indoor/outdoor comparisons and assessments of airborne mold levels, which are an integral part of the Eurofins EMLab P&K MoldREPORT™ system. The indoor air samples taken can be representative of the airborne mold present in the area sampled. The analysis and interpretation of these air samples is proprietary and is based upon: relative levels of spores present, quantities and concentration of Penicillium/Aspergillus type spores, quantity and concentration of Cladosporium spores, quantity and concentration of basidiospores, quantity and concentration of "marker" spore types, quantity and concentration of "other" spore types, and the distribution of mold spore types. Spore identification is performed visually by trained analysts according to industry norms. Using visual identification, most mold spores lack sufficient distinguishing characteristics to allow for species identification, so the MoldREPORT™ analysis is generally performed at the genus level. Currently there are no generally-accepted protocols or regulations regarding air sampling for molds, in large part due to the inability of any single technique to provide a complete analysis of all mold spores and mold growth in an area. Air sampling for MoldREPORT™ can be performed using any standard "spore trap" method, which are also called "non-viable air sampling methods" because spore traps do not require the germination and growth of the spores before identification. Commonly used spore trap equipment for performing air sampling for mold includes Zefon Air-O-Cell™ Cassettes, Burkard™ samplers, and Allergenco™ samplers.About Surface Sampling and AnalysisSurface sampling can be useful for differentiating between mold growth and stains, for identifying the type of mold growth present (if present), and, in some cases, identifying signs of mold growth in the vicinity. Although not required, surface sampling can improve the accuracy of the results and interpretation of the inspected environment if sampled correctly. Eurofins EMLab P&K accepts surface samples in the form of swabs, tapes, or bulks in order to perform a direct examination of a specific location.The MoldREPORT™ analysis system uses the direct examination data in addition to the MoldREPORT™ air sample analysis.EMLab ID: 3090793, Page 17 of 22Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLCClient: Mold Inspection Sciences Texas, Inc.MoldREPORTEurofins EMLab P & KContact: Lab ReportProject: 20221121_ILIA-BELOV_2003-CANTERBURY-ST; 2003 Canterbury St Austin, TX 78702Date of Sampling: 11-21-2022Date of Receipt: 11-22-2022Date of Report: 11-23-20223113 Red Bluff Road, Suite B, Pasadena, TX 77503(800) 651-4802 Fax (623) 780-7695This report is generated by Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC at the request, and for the exclusive use, of the Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC client named in this report.

Examples include skin cells, insect parts, and fibers.False Positive - A test result that incorrectly indicates mold growth, when in reality there is none. For example, an airsample test result indicating indoor mold growth, when no mold growth is actually present is a "False Positive."False Negative - A test result that shows no mold growth, when in reality mold growth is present. For example, an air sample test result indicating no indoor mold growth, when mold growth is actually present.Fungi - A kingdom that includes yeasts, molds, smuts, and mushrooms. Fungi are not animals, plants or bacteria, but their own kingdom.HVAC - Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are possible reservoirs for mold growth.IAQ - Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is the main focus of Eurofins EMLab P&K and the majority of its customers.Industrial Hygienist - A professional who monitors exposure to environmental factors that can affect human health. Examples of environmental factors include chemicals, heat, asbestos, noise, radiation, and biological hazards.Marker Spores - Spore types, such as Chaetomium and Stachybotrys, that when found indoors, even in moderate numbers are an indication of indoor mold growth.Note: This glossary is intended to provide general information about commonly occurring molds, and is not intended to be a complete source.

This group includes many well-known macrofungi, such as mushrooms. Basidiospores are often abundant in outdoor air and sometimes in indoor air.How they are spread: Many types of basidiospores are actively released into the air during periods of high humidity or rain. Once the spores are expelled into the air, they are dispersed easily by wind.Where they are found outdoors: Basidiomycetes are very common outdoors and can be found in gardens, forests, grasslands, and anywhere there is a substantial amount of dead organic material. They are also found on or near plants and some are known to be plant pathogens.Where they are found indoors: Basidiospores found indoors typically come from outdoor sources and are carried inside by airflow or on clothing. Certain kinds of basidiomycetes can grow indoors, such as those that cause "dry rot", which can cause structural damage to wood. Occasionally, other basidiomycetes such as mushrooms can be found indoors, but this is not common. Generally, basiodiomycetes require wet conditions for prolonged periods in order to grow indoors.Bipolaris / Dreschlera:Distribution: Bipolaris and Dreschlera are two separate genera of molds that are so visually similar that they are commonly discussed together as a group. Both genera include around 30 - 40 different species.How they are spread: Bipolaris / Dreschlera spores are easily dispersed through the air by wind.Where they are found outdoors: Bipolaris / Dreschlera type spores are most abundant in tropical or subtropical climates. They can grow in soils, on plant debris and grasses, and are known to be plant pathogens.Where they are found indoors: Bipolaris / Dreschlera can grow on a variety of indoor substrates when moisture is present.Ceratocystis / Ophiostoma:Distribution: Ceratocystis / Ophiostoma are two separate genera of molds that are so visually similar that they are commonly discussed together as a group. These genera contain around 50 to 60 different species.How they are spread: Ceratocystis / Ophiostoma produce wet slimy spores and are normally dispersed through water flow, droplets, or by insects. These spores are rarely identified in air samples.Where they are found outdoors: Ceratocystis / Ophiostoma are very common in commercial lumberyards and forests.Where they are found indoors Ceratocystis / Ophiostoma are abundant on wood framing material in the home, although the spores are rarely found in air samples. This mold is sometimes called "lumber mold".Chaetomium:Distribution: Chaetomium is a common mold worldwide. This genus contains around 80 - 90 different species.How it is spread: Chaetomium spores are formed inside fruiting bodies. The spores are released by being forced out through a small opening in the fruiting body. The spores are then dispersed by wind, water drops, or insects.Where it is found outdoors: Chaetomium can be found in soil, on various seeds, cellulose substrates, dung, woody materials and straw.Where it is found indoors: Chaetomium can grow in a variety of areas indoors, but is usually found on cellulose-based or woody materials in the home. It is very common on sheetrock paper that is or has been wet.EMLab ID: 3090793, Page 19 of 22Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLCClient: Mold Inspection Sciences Texas, Inc.MoldREPORTEurofins EMLab P & KContact: Lab ReportProject: 20221121_ILIA-BELOV_2003-CANTERBURY-ST; 2003 Canterbury St Austin, TX 78702Date of Sampling: 11-21-2022Date of Receipt: 11-22-2022Date of Report: 11-23-20223113 Red Bluff Road, Suite B, Pasadena, TX 77503(800) 651-4802 Fax (623) 780-7695This report is generated by Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC at the request, and for the exclusive use, of the Eurofins EPK Built Environment Testing, LLC client named in this report.
