Financial Projections

The Company does not, as a matter of course, make public forecasts or projections as to future financial

performance. However, as a part of its present efforts to progress the project, management has determined

to publish certain prospective financial information to forecast future financial performance. The intention

being to keep those interested in the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort and Luxury Villas project abreast of

the Company’s expectations.

None of the included financial projects were prepared with a view towards public disclosure. Nonetheless,

the financial projections were prepared on a reasonable basis to reflect the best estimates and judgments

available as of the date of preparation, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, to forecast the

future financial performance of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort and Luxury Villas project. However,

these financial projections are not realized and should not be relied upon as being indicative of future

results. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these financial projections. Neither our

independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any

procedures with respect to the financial projections furnished herewith, nor have they expressed any

opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no

responsibility for these financial projections. While presented with numeric specificity, the financial

projections furnished herewith reflect numerous important assumptions, many of which are highly

subjective, made by our management in light of business, industry and market conditions at the time of

preparation.

The Company does not intend to update or otherwise revise the financial projections to reflect

circumstances existing or events occurring, including changes in general economic or industry conditions,

since its preparation, even if any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As a general matter, the Company provides its financial results in accordance with accounting principles

generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The Company also uses non-GAAP financial measures

in addition to and in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures to help analyze the anticipated

performance of its business.

Providing non-GAAP financial measures is not an alternative to GAAP financial measures and may differ

from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the hospitality industry. Non-GAAP

financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when

viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliation of corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a

more complete understanding of results of operations and the factors and trends affecting our business.

However, non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute

for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In particular, the

Company presents adjusted EBITA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITA is

calculated as earnings, adjusted to exclude certain expenses, including goodwill impairment, stock based

compensation, expenses associated with a review of the Company’s stock option granting practices,

foreign exchange gains and losses, purchase accounting adjustments, certain non-recurring charges and

gains, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITA is calculated by dividing adjusted

EBITA by revenues. The Company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure

to adjusted EBITA is net income (loss).

The Company has not included a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure

adjusted EBITA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss), due to the

variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, and due to certain information not

being ascertainable or accessible. Not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of

forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures

is available to the Company without unreasonable effort. The probable significance of providing these

forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures without the directly comparable GAAP financial

measures is that such GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding non-

GAAP financial measures.

Financial Projections are Forward Looking Statements

All the expectations, plans and assumptions contained in and used to prepare the attached financial

projections, as wells as the projections themselves, constitute forward-looking statements that involve

risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the financial projections are indicative

of our future performance or that the actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the

financial projections. Inclusion of financial projections should not be regarded as a representation of any

person that the results contained in the financial projections will be achieved. Examples of forward-

looking statements include, but are not limited to, assumptions contained in the financial projections with

respect to annual revenue growth, cost of revenues, gross profit, and overhead or operating expenses,

Examples of forward-looking statements that underlie these assumptions include (i) our expectation that

the project will be completed; (ii) our beliefs regarding the basis for growth; (iii) our expectations

regarding future cash generating capability; (iv) our belief regarding the positioning of our business and

decisions we continue to make in response to a competitive economic environment; (v) our expectations

regarding revenue; (vi) our expectations regarding our ability to achieve profitability in connection with

our growth initiatives; and (vii) our expectations for EBITA, adjusted EBITA and capital expenditures.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements

include, but are not limited to (i) the emergence of new competitive initiatives, (ii) changes in business

conditions and volatility or uncertainty in the markets that we serve, (iii) our ability to execute our

business plan, (iv) the extent of adoption of our hospitality services, (v) fluctuations in the market and

pricing for our services, (vi) other risks and uncertainties.

Forward looking statements are only as of the date made, and the Company has no current intention to

update any forward-looking statements.
