To the Sole Director of
Conte Rosso & Partners S.r.l. (formerly All Real Estate S.r.l.)
Rome (Italy)

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Conte Rosso & Partners S.r.l. (formerly All Real Estate S.r.l.), an Italian corporation, expressed in euros as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Conte Rosso & Partners S.r.l. (formerly All Real Estate S.r.l.) as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Operations are carried out through CR&P and its subsidiary companies, and mainly consist of investment in operating properties, real estate trading and development.

 

Currently the Company and its subsidiaries (together “CR&P Group” or “the Group”) are in start-up phase. Most of the investments in real estate have been made recently and have not started to yield income.

 

At June 30, 2012 the consolidated operating subsidiaries are the following:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of consolidation

 

All majority-owned subsidiaries in which CR&P has both voting share and management control are consolidated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Subsidiaries over which control is achieved through other means, such as stockholders agreement, are also consolidated even if less than 51% of voting capital is held. The equity attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries is shown separately in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidation has been prepared according to the parent company policy. Investments in unconsolidated associates are accounted for under the equity method.

 

The carrying value of our equity investments is accounted for at historic cost.

 

Associate is defined as a business in which the Group participates through a non-controlling interest but has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee.

 

The financial year of all consolidated companies ends on December 31. The financial year ended December 31, 2009 is the first year of consolidation.

 

Since most of subsidiaries were acquired before 2009, December 31, 2008 has been taken as the date of acquisition of controlling ownership.

 

Under Italian law, the Company is not obliged to prepare consolidated financial statements.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are unaudited. The separate financial statements of each subsidiary and of the Company used for the consolidation have been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Italy (“Italian GAAP”), then reclassified and adjusted in accordance with US GAAP.

 

 
 

 

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

Historical cost is used as the measurement basis unless otherwise indicated. In this regard it is noted that some valuations carried out by independent experts, which estimate the current value of the primary properties, indicate a potential significant revaluation of the carrying value of real estate of the Group, if the fair value method were applied.

 

The Company has considered subsequent events through August 2, 2012 being the date these audited consolidated financial statements ended December 31, 2011 were issued. Certain of these events will have significant effects on the financial statements for the year to December 31, 2012. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. A description of such significant subsequent events is given in the relevant notes below.

 

The Euro is the functional currency of all companies included in these consolidated financial statements.

In March, 2012 – after the spin-off – there was a sale of participation in Antonio to third parties which will impact the consolidated financial report for the six months period ended June 30, 2012. In particular, included in the assets held by Antonio is a building located in Via Brussels in Rome which is the subject of litigation. As a result, the Group has benefited in 2012 from the elimination of the associated risk.

 

Pro-forma disclosures on Antonio S.r.l. spin-off

 

Due to the fiscal effect of the spin-off date (January 1, 2011), no six-months-period-to-date pro-forma unaudited consolidated results of CR&P is shown.

 

 
 

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, cash on current accounts with banks, bank deposits and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of less than three months.

 

Accounts receivable and loans issued

 

Receivables and loans issued are stated at cost less an allowance for doubtful debts. Management quantifies this allowance based on current information regarding the customers’ and borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations. Amounts previously written off which are subsequently collected are recognized as income.

 

Investment in associates and other companies

 

Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method.

 

Investments in other companies are accounted for under the historical cost.

 

The impairment losses are determined primarily on the basis of critical information concerning the issuer, if known and assessable.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and adjustments for impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment also includes assets under construction and plant and equipment awaiting installation.

 

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in an item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditures are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statement of income as incurred.

 

Capitalization ceases when construction is interrupted for an extended period or when the asset is substantially complete.

 

Where funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of acquiring or constructing a qualifying asset, the amount of interest costs to be capitalized in a period on that asset is the actual interest cost incurred on the borrowing during the period.

 

Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual assets.

 

Depreciation commences from the time an asset is put into operation. Depreciation is not charged on assets to be disposed of or on land. The range of the estimated useful lives is as follows:

 

-Buildings and constructions: 33 years

 

-Machinery and equipment: 2 – 20 years

 

 
 

 

-Others: 5 years

 

Real estate assets are stated at historical cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of approximately 33 years, with the rates used for individual buildings being based on the property’s age, overall physical condition, type of construction materials and intended use.

 

Improvements to buildings are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining useful life of the building at the time the improvement is completed.

 

Real estate investments and purchased intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable.

 

Due to the recent date of acquisition of most of the real estate investments and/or that they are the subject of ongoing building development and the consequent inability to assess their longer term earning capacity, no impairment test has been performed to date.

 

Assets to be disposed of are separately presented on the balance sheet and reported at their historic cost since the expected realization value is greater. These assets and the relevant liabilities are classified separately as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet and are no longer depreciated. An analysis of these assets and liabilities is presented separately in the relevant section of these notes.

 

Assets and liabilities held for resale

 

In connection with the strategy of concentrating in the portfolio of hotel, power, and plantations investments, in the periods presented we entered into various negotiations with potential purchasers to sell properties as detailed in the note n. 5. Most of these sales are concluded at the date of presentation of the interim financial statements ended June 30, 2012.

 

The Company has assessed that the potential realizable (or realized) value of these assets at the market value are higher than the net asset carrying value and accordingly no impairment has been provided for.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Since the Company doesn’t have the technical and evaluation information to reassess the correct identification of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, based on fair value, in application of purchase accounting to our acquisitions, tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are recorded at the acquisition cost. According to information held by the Management, the acquisition cost of properties held by the Group does not differ significantly from the fair value at the date of the acquisition. Where the investment in subsidiary is greater than the net asset value the excess is treated as goodwill arising on consolidation in the balance sheet. Where the investment in subsidiary is smaller than the net asset value the difference is initially recognized as a gain in the first consolidated income statement, then accounted as accumulated earning within equity of the following years.

 

 
 

 

Goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually.

 

Due to the recent date of acquisition of most of the real estate investments and/or that they are the subject of ongoing building development and the consequent inability to assess their longer term earning capacity, no impairment test has been performed to date.

 

Leasing

 

All lease agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries are accounted for as finance leases. The Company recognizes the asset and associated liability on its balance sheet. Finance leases are capitalized at the beginning of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments. Each installment of the lease is apportioned between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve an equal reduction in capital due for each payment made at constant rate on the remaining financial balances.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments principally for the management of exposure to variable interest rates on long-term financing. All derivative financial instruments are classified as assets or liabilities and are accounted for at trade date. The Company measures all derivative financial instruments based on fair values derived from market prices of the instruments. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is significant and that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability, are recorded in the income statement.

 

Currently there is only one derivative instrument hedging the risk of variable interest rates (an “interest rate cap”), the notional amount of is €4 million. This derivative instrument hedges the risk from change of interest rate on a mortgage loan facility with “bullet” repayments originally of € 8 million of which € 6.6 million is outstanding and included on the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2011.

 

The change in fair value of this derivative instrument over the period January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011 is negligible and, therefore, no impact has been reflected on the CR&P consolidated income statements. At June 30, 2012, the Company has recorded in the six months income statement the change in fair value of the derivative instrument mentioned above as loss of € 27 thousands on the hedged liability.

 

Shareholders loans

 

Shareholders loans to the Group are all non-interest bearing. Italian law provides that the shareholders loans to a limited liability company ("S.r.l.") are not preferred and their repayment is subordinated to other categories of debt. As a result all shareholder loans are classified as non-current liabilities.

 

 
 

 

Severance indemnity fund

 

According to Italian accounting principles reflecting local law and applicable employment contracts, certain post-employment benefits accrue during the period of employment. Under U.S. GAAP, post-employment benefits are defined either as de fined contribution plans or defined benefit plans.

 

In defined contribution plans, the company's obligation is limited to the payment of contributions to the Government or to a fund. Defined benefit plans are pension, insurance and healthcare programs which cover the company's obligation, even implicitly, to provide the benefits due to former employees. The liabilities associated with defined benefit plans are determined on the basis of actuarial assumption (discounting) and accrued in the financial statements over the employment period required to obtain the benefits.

 

The severance indemnity fund required by Italian law is a liability similar to a defined benefit plan, which, however, according to Italian accounting principles, is not subject to discounting. Given the small number of Group employees any difference between the present provisions in the financial statements prepared in accordance with Italian GAAP and discounted value of these benefits is considered to be immaterial.

 

Reserves

 

Reserves are represented by provisions of profits required by law, the Company statute and the decisions of directors.

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

a) As of June 30, 2012, the following guarantees have been provided or obtained (no changes occurred subsequently):

 

 
 

 

Guarantees given by the Group to banks or third parties

 

   €’000 
Mortgage on property   111,113 
Sureties   1,800 
Pledges   250 
Total   113,163 

 

Guarantees given on behalf of the Group by third parties

 

   €’000

Total   107,184 

 

Guarantees given by banks on behalf of the Group

 

   €’000 
Sureties   5,223 
Total   5,223 

 

Sureties received from third parties include an amount of €78,992,000 under a warranty deed jointly signed by third parties and related parties in connection with the financial leasing agreement having an initial value of €38,730,000 entered into by Ripa Hotel & Resort S.r.l.

 

b) The Company and certain subsidiaries are defendants in legal actions in the normal course of business. Based on the advice of legal counsel, management believes that the amounts recognized and recorded as debt provisions or asset negative adjustments are sufficient to cover probable losses in connection with such actions.

 

The risk provisions or negative adjustments are recognized when in accordance with the opinion of legal counsel the liability is probable and measurable.

 

Stockholder’s equity

 

As of today, the share capital of CR&P is represented by one share, fully paid as to €98,000. Mr. Antonio Conte and Ms. Maddalena Olivieri each contributed 50% of the share capital of CR&P. In accordance with Italian law, this share is registered with the Register of Companies at the Italian Chamber of Commerce.

 

 
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In order to recognize revenue four basic criteria must be met:

 

-existence of persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

 

-delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

 

-the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and

 

-collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Group’s revenue recognition policies are consistent with these criteria. The judgments involved in revenue recognition include understanding the terms of agreements and determining the appropriate time to recognize revenue for each transaction based on such terms. Each transaction is evaluated to determine: (i) at what point in time revenue is earned, (ii) whether contingencies exist that impact the timing of recognition of revenue and (iii) how and when such contingencies will be resolved. The timing of revenue recognition could vary if different judgments were made.

 

Taxes

 

Income taxes

 

Italian income taxes comprise national (27.50%) and regional (approximately 5%) income tax. The statutory composite enacted tax rate applicable in the periods presented is approximately 32.50%.

 

The Group has not taken advantage of the tax consolidation facility allowed by the Italian Fiscal Authority. Provisions for deferred taxes liabilities are always recognized, whist deferred tax assets are only recognized when their future recovery is considered probable.

 

To date there are some matters pending with the Italian Tax Authorities, which the Group's management believes will not occur any significant additional liabilities, also based on the opinion expressed by the Group’s fiscal advisors.

 

The Group's management believes that even in the event of any future investigations, no additional tax liabilities would emerge beyond those already recorded in the audited financial statements.

 

Tax losses carryforwards

 

Under Italian tax law the operating loss carryforwards available for offset against future profits can be used indefinitely. Operating loss carryforwards are only available for offset against national income tax, in the limit of 80% of taxable annual income.

 

The following is a summary of operating losses carried forward available for offset against future profits.

Non-recognized subsequent events

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the following events occurred. No adjustments have been made in the financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2012 for these events:

 

Merger of Terme di Galzignano S.p.A. and Galzignano Golf & Resort S.p.A.

 

In July, 2012 was approved the merger of Terme di Galzignano S.p.A. in Galzignano Golf & Resort S.p.A. Since Galzignano Golf & Resort S.p.A. has a 100% stake of Terme di Galzignano S.p.A., the merger will not result in any impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Outlook for future profitability

 

The group is currently in a start-up phase and is seeking to grow its business and has not yet reached managed all assets to create income. In particular, at this stage of development it is concentrating in acquiring suitable assets rather than on the achievement of profitability. Shareholders and management of CR&P are confident that these investments in future years will contribute to the profitability of the Group, when put in use or sold.

 

 
 

 

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

 

1) Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The provision for 2011 and for the six months period ended June 30, 2012 arises from the agreement relating to the property at Via Carciano, Rome, Italy (see Section “Advance payment on purchase and other current assets”) and reflects a partial uncertainty in the determination of the additional revenue established in the agreement, given the fact that the conditions for its payment are still pending.

 

2) Related parties receivables and payables

 

Related parties receivables and payables relate primarily to the CEO and shareholder, Mr. Antonio Conte.

 

The amount shown as receivables as at June 30, 2011 relates primarily to an interest-free loan to Mr. Antonio Conte, given to complete certain acquisitions, and which is repayable in 32 monthly installments. The amount outstanding is €3.1 million, of which €0.6 million is classified as current asset and €2.5 million as non-current asset.
