     PER CURIAM.
     Affirmed. See Gurney v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 889 So. 2d

97, 99 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004) (“[A] minimal offer can be made in good faith if

the evidence demonstrates that, at the time it was made, the offeror had a

reasonable basis to conclude that its exposure was nominal.” (quoting Nants

v. Griffin, 783 So. 2d 363, 365 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001))); Schmidt v. Fortner, 629

So. 2d 1036, 1039 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993) (“The obligation of good faith merely

insists that the offeror have some reasonable foundation on which to base

an offer.”); Deltona House Rentals, Inc. v. Cloer, 734 So. 2d 586, 588 (Fla.

5th DCA 1999) (“[A] low offer . . . may well be found to be not a good faith

offer. This is not one of those cases, however.”); Applegate v. Barnett Bank

of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (“Without a record of the

trial proceedings, the appellate court can not properly resolve the underlying

factual issues so as to conclude that the trial court's judgment is not

supported by the evidence or by an alternative theory.”).
