ROI LAND INVESTMENTS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2016

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Business, Presentation and Going Concern

 

Business

 

ROI Land Investments, Ltd. (“ROI”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), is a land development company that owns and operates businesses in the land development industry. The Company's business model consists of acquiring attractive land, optimizing zoning restrictions, obtaining necessary permits, outsourcing developments of the infrastructure and profiting from the sale of the subdivided land units to established residential and commercial building developers. ROI may also opportunistically consider real estate development. The Company’s mission is to maximize its return on investment within the land development sector in North America as well as internationally. These investments and/or acquisitions may be directly acquired by the Company or via qualified Joint Venture Partners. Alternatively, our Company, for practical purposes, functions as a land banking firm.

 

On January 24, 2016, the Company organized ROI Land Investments FZ (“ROI FZ”), a UAE corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary. ROI FZ was organized to acquire and manage land acquisitions and development in Dubai. On March 17, 2016, the Company organized ROI Land Investments AG (“ROI Swiss”), a Swiss corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary. ROI Swiss was organized to provide investor relations services to the Company’s investors and potential investors in Europe. On March 23, 2016, the Company organized ROI Securitization SA, a Luxembourg corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary. ROI Securitization SA was organized to sell debt securities in Europe to fund the Company’s land and real estate projects. ROI FZ and ROI Swiss are currently inactive.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2015 audited annual consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 13, 2016.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred a net loss of $16,512,923 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $33,529,792. The Company has a deficit in working capital of $17,862,414 as of September 30, 2016 and used cash in operations of $7,863,915 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources to be used for operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary.

ROI LAND INVESTMENTS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2016

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Business, Presentation and Going Concern (Continued)

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ROI Land Investments Ltd. and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, ROI DEV Canada Inc., 9497846 Canada Inc., ROI Land Investments FZ, ROI Land Investments AG and ROI Securitisation SA. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain items on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances for loan losses and deferred income taxes, impairment of long-lived assets, contingencies, as well as the recording and presentation of its common stock and related stock option issuances. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.

    $ 15,715,340             $ 14,798,000          

 

On July 9, 2015, the Company, through its subsidiary ROI FZ, entered into a memorandum of understanding with PNC Investments LLC, a UAE corporation, for the potential purchase of 433,000 square feet of land in the Sobha Hartland district of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The total acquisition price is $29,488,000 (AED 108,281,250). During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid a total of $2,801,205 (AED 10,286,305) in non-refundable deposits to PNC Investments LLC and incurred evaluation and design costs of $346,827 (AED 1,273,583) for a total balance of $3,148,032 at December 31, 2015.

 

On February 7, 2016, the Company entered into a Development Sale and Purchase Agreement with PNC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made an additional payment of $1,900,000 (AED 6,980,144) in non-refundable deposits to PNC leaving a balance of $24,786,795 (AED 91,014,801).

 

On May 15, 2016, the Company received a termination letter from PNC terminating the agreement dated February 7, 2016 for non-payment of the amounts due under the agreement. As a result, the Company forfeited the $4,701,205 (AED 17,271,099) of deposits. A total of $5,048,032 (AED 18,545,258), including $346,827 (AED 1,273,583) of closing and development costs, has been charged to operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as abandoned project costs. However, the Company is still in negotiations with PNC to acquire a reduced size and price of the land it had agreed to under the agreement dated February 7, 2016 and apply the deposits to this restructured arrangement. Negotiations are under way, but the likelihood that the Company will be successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement is dependent on its ability to pay at least a portion of the new acquisition price. As a result, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur as contemplated or at all. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company also incurred $160,825 of other costs related to the project and wrote-off leasehold improvements related to a lease in Dubai for an amount of $256,048.

Note 4 – Notes and Loans Payable (Continued)

 

All series of the notes contain provisions that allow for a) pro rata prepayments of the notes by the Company in the event of sales of parcels of the Beauport Property, b) a call option by the Company to prepay the note at any time prior to the six month anniversary of the closing date of the note which includes a 15% premium in the form of the Company’s common stock, and c) an option of the noteholder to convert the note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 10% discount to the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the thirty days’ trading period preceding the date of conversion. The Company has not recorded any beneficial conversion feature as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 as the embedded conversion options in its notes payable do not meet the firm commitment criterion as described under applicable U.S. GAAP. The Company has the option to extend the maturity date of the notes up to a period of 18 months.

 

For the Series A and Series D notes only, the noteholders have an option to call for immediate redemption in full or in part by the Company at a price which the Company shall reasonably determine as being the “fair market value” of the applicable note. As these notes can be immediately redeemable at the option of the noteholder, they have been classified as current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The convertible notes are collateralized by the Beauport property acquired by ROI DEV and contain certain financial and other covenants. On April 27, 2015, the Company received written consent of waiver of the default from the required noteholders (greater than 50% of the noteholders in principal amount pari passu) and the applicable covenant was removed to ensure it will not be triggered in the future. As such, the amount representing the long- term portion of the notes payable, net of discounts, of $3,060,326 and $2,892,047, has been classified as noncurrent liabilities as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. On August 22, 2017, the Company sent a written notice to all of its convertible note holders to notify them that the Company shall execute its option to extend the maturity date of the convertible notes by an additional 18 months.

 

The Beauport Series A and Series D notes contain a premium payment to the noteholders on each sale of the Beauport project in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the noteholder’s pro rata share of the total net profit on each parcel of the Beauport project sold. The potential profit in the Beauport project was estimated to be approximately $1.2 million, based on management’s best estimates at inception of the notes and as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, of which, $197,146 was the pro rata share of the Beauport Series A and D noteholders and was recorded as a profit participation liability, embedded within the notes.

On October 14, 2014, the Company issued $1,200,000 of its Series A convertible notes payable to three investors for cash. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are due October 14, 2017. A total of 282,500 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in conjunction with the notes to the noteholders at a fair value of $98,875 ($0.35 per share) based on the price of shares sold to investors. The $98,875 was recorded as a discount to the notes and $24,741 and $24,651 of the discount has been accreted as interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, resulting in an unamortized discount of $34,134 at September 30, 2016 which will be amortized over the next 13.5 months.

Note 6 – Stockholders’ Equity

 

Authorized Capital

 

The Company has 160,000,000 authorized shares of Series A Common Stock at $0.0001 par value, 40,000,000 authorized shares of Series B Common Stock at $0.0001 par value, and 50,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock at par value of $0.0001 per share. Series A common shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share while Series B common shares have no voting rights. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

On May 9, 2016, the Company issued 100,000 shares each of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to two directors, in exchange for their 100,000 shares each of the Company’s Series A common stock. No additional consideration was provided to the Company for the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is identical to the common stock of the Company, except that each share of the 200,000 Series A Preferred Stock has 150 votes per share instead of the one vote per share of the Series A Common Stock.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued to 14 accredited investors a total of 1,889,226 shares of a class of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) against receipt from them of 1,889,226 shares of the Company’s common stock held by them, plus $377,999 in cash. The Series B Preferred Stock is identical to the common stock of ROI, except that each share of the Series B Preferred Stock has the following features:

 

(1)       The Series B Preferred Shares shall not be convertible into the Company’s common stock unless and until (i) a class of the Company's capital stock commences trading upon the U.S. NASDAQ trading system (the "NASDAQ Uplisting"), or (ii) the Company notifies the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares that their shares may be converted into common stock (whether or not the NASDAQ Uplisting has then yet occurred); after which time the Series B Preferred Shares shall be convertible as and to the extent set forth below.

 

(2)       When any shares of Series B Preferred Shares are converted into common stock, they shall be converted at the rate of three (3) shares of common stock for the "Effective Value" (defined below) of each of the Series B Preferred Shares.

 

(3)       The Series B Preferred Shares shall accumulate dividends at the rate of 8% per annum, prorated for partial years, such that, at the time of its conversion, every share of Series B Preferred Shares shall convert at a rate (the "Effective Value") computed by adding to it the cumulative value of its accumulated dividends. For example, if ten shares of the Series B Preferred Shares have been held for two years and six months, when they are converted into common stock they each will have an Effective Value of 1.20 shares, and collectively an Effective Value of 12 shares. Since each share of Series B Preferred Shares converts into three shares of common stock, all ten shares will convert into 36 shares of common stock. Upon conversion, no fractional shares of common stock shall be issued, but rather fractional common stock shares shall be settled in cash.

 

(4)       If the purchaser of Series B Preferred Shares is an existing holder of the common stock, then the Company may at its discretion extend to any such purchaser the option to pay for some or all of the purchase price of the Series B Preferred Shares by means of submitting to the Company to be held in treasury some of such holder's shares of common stock, at a valuation to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in their sole but reasonable discretion. 

 

The cash received from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock will be used for working capital purposes and the Company’s common stock received will be held in treasury and used for future option exercises or upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued options to purchase a total of 5,178,259 shares of Series A common stock to various consultants and investors. The fair value of the services provided by consultants is not reliably estimable as these services are traditionally transacted based on a percentage of transaction volume, making measurement of such services impractical. These options have contractual lives of six months to five years and were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model at an weighted average grant date fair value of $0.50 per option, or $2,599,812, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, with the following assumptions:

 

Stock Price   $0.18 - $1.50
Expected term   .5 to 5 years
Expected volatility   86.8% to 118.7%
Risk-free interest rate   1.20%
Dividend yield   0.00

 

The stock price was based on the most recent traded stock price as of the grant date and volatility was based on the Company’s historical volatility. As of September 30, 2016, $1,949,815 was charged to consulting fee expense and $1,806,108 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-employee stock options. The Company expects to recognize those costs over a weighted average period of 1.96 years as of September 30, 2016.

 

A total of 2,507,250 options were either expired or canceled during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company has entered into certain consulting agreements which call for introduction fees to be paid to the consultants for capital received by the Company from investors introduced by the consultants. The fees range from i) 2% in Series A common stock to ii) 13% in cash and 13% in Series A common stock of the amounts received by the Company.

  

On March 11, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Artizan Interior design (“Artizan”), a UAE corporation, whereby Artizan will provide project management and technical coordination services for its project in the Sobha Hartland district of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The services of Artizan began October 1, 2015 at a monthly fee of $85,000 for a term of the development stage of the project until the handover of the project to the developer. On March 2, 2016, the Company entered into a Client Representative Consultancy Agreement with Artizan, whereby Artizan will provide construction and engineering design services for its project in the Sobha Hartland district of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The services of Artizan began in March 2016 for a total fee of $1,200,000 in payments of 50% upon the commencement of work, 25% upon the approval of the design package from relevant authorities, and 25% upon the completion of all design services as agreed and approved by the Company. Upon receipt of a termination letter from PNC terminating the agreement related to the Sobha Hartland, Dubai project, the Company terminated its agreement between Artizan and $127,500 of payables is due to Aritizan as of September 30, 2016.

  

On February 7, 2016, the Company entered into a Development Sale and Purchase Agreement with PNC. During the nine months ended September 31, 2016, the Company made an additional payment of $1,900,000 (AED 6,980,144) in non-refundable deposits to PNC leaving a balance of $24,786,795 (AED 91,014,801). On May 15, 2016, the Company received a termination letter from PNC terminating the agreement dated February 7, 2016 for non-payment of the amounts due under the agreement. As a result, the Company forfeited the $4,701,205 (AED 17,271,099) of deposits. A total of $5,048,032 (AED 18,545,258), including $346,827 (AED 1,273,583) of closing and development costs, has been charged to operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as abandoned project costs. However, the Company is still in negotiations with PNC to acquire a reduced size and price of the land it had agreed to under the agreement dated February 7, 2016 and apply the deposits to this restructured arrangement. Negotiations are under way, but the likelihood that the Company will be successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement is dependent on its ability to pay at least a portion of the new acquisition price. As a result, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur as contemplated or at all.

 

The Company has two office lease agreements (Canada and Germany) with lease commitments totaling $150,957. The Company is contracted to make the following annual payments: not later than one year totaling $41,415; later than one year but not later than two years totaling $41,549; later than two years but not later than three years totaling $41,683; later than three years but not later than four years totaling $26,310; and no amounts later than four years.

 

Legal Matters

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

On August 6, 2015, Mrs. Gloria Julie Couillard and Tekno Forme (“Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint naming CTC, its President, ROI DEV, Philippe Germain and Sebastian Cliche as co-defendants claiming unpaid fees of $207,638. On September 2, 2015, a default judgement was served against CTC. CTC and its President are applying to set aside the default judgement against them and the Company is opposing the Plaintiff’s notice of Application. On October 9, 2015, the Plaintiff registered a lien on the Company’s Canadian properties in the amount of $207,638. On March 17, 2017, the Plaintiff agreed to release its judgment filed against the Company’s Canadian properties and removed its lien, in its entirety, registered on these properties.

 

On September 14, 2015, the Company received a notification from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) of a Request for Mediation, dated September 8, 2015, filed by Seth Shaw, pursuant to a mediation and arbitration clause contained in a Consulting Agreement allegedly entered into between the Company and Seth Shaw on May 1, 2014. The Company executed such agreement but believes that Seth Shaw failed to perform under said agreement. Mr. Shaw believes that the agreement is valid and in effect. The matter under dispute is 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A common stock which were to be issued to Mr. Shaw pursuant to such agreement. A certificate for such shares was issued but never delivered to Mr. Shaw, because the Company cancelled the Agreement for failure to perform. The Company cancelled the shares and recorded a liability for the then value of the shares of $175,000 which was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. The Company and Mr. Shaw met in mediation on February 22, 2016 with no resolution achieved. The parties then attended an arbitration evidentiary hearing on January 20, 2017 whereby a final arbitration award was issued on March 30, 2017 and subsequently a judgment was delivered by the United States District Court of Nevada on March 1, 2018 ruling that Mr. Shaw was entitled to recover $755,125 from the Company for breach of contract claim, $103,110 of legal fees and $3,625 in costs. The Company intends to vigorously take necessary actions to defend itself from these claims by Mr. Shaw and has not revised the recorded liability of $250,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, as it still represents the best estimate of the possible outflows to settle this case.

 

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

The following discussion of our results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

 

Company Overview

 

We operate in the land development sub-sector niche of the real estate industry, where its main activity consists of acquiring, zoning and converting raw land into a construction-ready site. The land development process implemented by ROI consists of four phases:

 

  · Land acquisition - Purchasing land ready for development, in a strategic location and without any prohibited zoning restrictions
  · Permits applications - Executed within the local municipalities to effectuate the legal right for current and future infrastructures development.
  · Infrastructures - Outsourcing to qualified experts of the necessary technical and construction work
  · Profit taking - Final Sale of the licensed, zoned and (by now) subdivided and construction-ready land unit to large regional residential developers

 

Our mission is to acquire, fund and service land development opportunities. We strive to become a leader in green land development by maintaining the utmost respect of the environment, particularly by emphasizing and preserving more green spaces than the local laws require. Additionally, the Company from time to time, reserves its right to participate on the construction of the properties.

 

Business

 

We specialize in land development. Our business model consist of acquiring attractive land, optimizing zoning restrictions, obtaining necessary permits, outsourcing developments of the infrastructure and profiting from the sale of the subdivided land units to established residential and commercial building developers. We may also opportunistically consider real estate development. The Company’s mission is to maximize our return on investment within the land development sector in North America as well as internationally. These investments and/or acquisitions may be directly acquired by our Company or via qualified Joint Venture Partners. Alternatively, our Company, for practical purposes, functions as a land banking firm.

 

 

 

  27  

 

 

Plan of Operation

 

We currently have the following real estate projects under development:

 

Beauport, QC

 

This project is a low density project in Beauport, a city in the suburbs of Quebec. No other parcel of land is available in this strategic sector of the city. There are already 3 building contractors interested in reserving lands on this parcel. The main roads are 2 km away from the project and all services, including a shopping center, restaurants, grocery store, clinic, primary school and high school etc. are less than 1 km away. The projects will consist of townhouses, semi- detached and standard houses. Infrastructures will be necessary and are included in the budget. No significant development of this property occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, we have invested $4,864,822 (CAD 6,370,069) in the property.

 

Terrace, BC

 

Terrace is a city on the Skeena River in British Columbia, Canada. The Terrace region was a booming market in 2015 because of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects underway. Companies invested hundreds of millions of dollars in advanced work in order to be prepared for LNG. We had decided to participate in this opportunity by buying lands on which we expect to build apartments as the Terrace region had a lack of available housing and a strong need to house their employees. Stemming from the significant decline in global oil and gas prices in 2016, many LNG projects across British Columbia were delayed or discontinued and as such, housing demands in this region also rapidly diminished. No significant development of these properties occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We currently own three properties in Terrace with a total cost to date of $1,645,989 (CAD 2,155,282).

 

Kitimat, BC

 

The Kitimat region was booming due to the LNG projects underway. Companies have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in advanced work in order to be prepared for the LNG projects. Accordingly, this region experienced a severe lack of infrastructure and single family dwellings needed to house their workers. Investments have been made into this region to help strengthen the local community and to create economic advantages for future generations of British Columbians. We incurred $50,000 of development costs on this property during the year ended December 31, 2015. Stemming from the significant decline in global oil and gas prices in 2016, many LNG projects across British Columbia were delayed or discontinued and as such, housing demands in this region also rapidly diminished. We acquired approximately 250,000 square feet of prime residential land development to build over 300 apartment units. To date, we have invested $1,721,029 (CAD 2,253,540) in the property in Kitimat.

 

Louisette, France

 

Louisette is located in Seyne sur Mer, Var, South of France. The land is less than 5 minutes from the Six-Fours beach, which is a region rich in tourism. We are co-investing on this project with Rome Finance Group and Capital Evolution Group SAS. As of September 30, 2016, we own 2% of the project through an investment in shares of Society Louisette Memories SARL.

 

Evans, Colorado

 

The town of Evans is located in Weld County, 60 miles from Denver, Colorado. Evans has a growing economy fueled by large oil & gas companies, investors and agriculture. The technology, aerospace, construction, financial and health care sectors are also prominent in Evans with continued hiring and job opportunities. Job creation, strong population growth and a continued influx of new residents and businesses to the area have led to an increased demand for housing in Evans. According to the Department of Labor, Weld County has seen the strongest job growth of any county in the U.S. from June 2013 to June 2014, the last period for which data is available.

 

 

 

  28  

 

 

We acquired 220 acres (equivalent to 9,583,200 square feet of land) and 763 water rights in Evans. As of September 30, 2016, we have invested $6,717,876 in the property in Evans and have incurred an additional $765,624 in development costs. Beginning in 2018 and in affiliation with a local construction company(s), ROI intends to develop approximately 950 lots in approximately four phases. The project will feature a mix of housing units, including single family homes, town homes, duplexes and condos. The Company also plans to build a park as well as commercial and retail areas. A new middle school was opened last fall adjacent to the property, which is expected to further fuel demand for quality housing.

 

Sobha Hartland, Dubai, UAE

 

Sobha Hartland is a mixed-use development that is located in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City. It affords a full view of the Dubai skyline and it is conveniently located close to the metro, the water canal, in front of the Dubai Design District and only minutes from downtown via Al Khail artery road. This complete community offers high net worth residents of Dubai a chance to reduce their commuting drive from 20-25 km to 3 km or 5 minutes to downtown. Dubai is among the fastest growing cities in the world. It is a major financial center and business hub for the Middle East and Africa. Dubai’s economy is fueled by a number of industries including tourism, finance, industrial consulting and communication technologies.

 

We have partnered with Sobha LLC, a subsidiary of PNC Investments LLC (“PNC”), for this project. Sobha LLC is a large and fully integrated developer in the region having developed 450 projects in the Middle East and Europe. On February 7, 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiary, ROI Land Investments FZ, entered into a Development Sale and Purchase Agreement with PNC for the purchase of approximately 433,000 square feet of land in Sobha Hartland. The total acquisition price is $29,488,000 (AED 108,281,250). This project features three, eight-story buildings for a total of 300 units. Each building offers Dubai residents with a variety of luxurious housing options including studio apartments, 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, two bedroom duplexes and three bedroom duplexes.

 

On May 15, 2016, the Company received a termination letter from PNC terminating the agreement dated February 7, 2016 for non-payment of the amounts due under the agreement. As a result, the Company forfeited the $4,701,205 (AED 17,271,099) of deposits. A total of $5,048,032 (AED 18,545,258), including $346,827 (AED 1,273,583) of closing and development costs, has been charged to operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as abandoned project costs. However, the Company is still in negotiations with PNC to acquire a reduced size and price of the land it had agreed to under the agreement dated February 7, 2016 and apply the deposits to this restructured arrangement. Negotiations are under way, but the likelihood that the Company will be successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement is dependent on its ability to pay at least a portion of the new acquisition price. As a result, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur as contemplated or at all. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company also incurred $160,825 of other costs related to the project and wrote-off leasehold improvements related to a lease in Dubai for an amount of $256,048.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015

 

Revenues

 

Revenues were $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $81,421 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The revenues consisted of interest income earned on notes receivable. Recognition of interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was suspended as collectability was not reasonably assured.

 

Operating Expenses and Other Income (Expense)

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our total operating expenses were $14,855,825 compared to $5,693,903 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, resulting in an increase of $9,161,922. The increase in operating expenses primarily resulted from an increase in abandoned project costs by approximately $5.3 million mostly attributable to the losses incurred on the Company’s Sobha Hartland Dubai project as well as an increase in consulting fees by approximately $2.5 million as the Company had two additional executives in the first half of 2016 and also retained more third-party consultants on existing and pipeline projects.

Other income and expenses were $1,657,098 in 2016 compared to $811,929 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, resulting in an increase by $845,169. The increase was primarily due to the increase in interest expenses of $1,502,539 compared to $903,685 in the same period in 2015.

 

As a result, net loss was $16,512,923 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $6,424,411 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Historically, we have financed our cash flow and operations from the sale of common stock and issuance of notes payable.  Our principal use of funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was for the acquisition of properties, the funding for property projects and development, and general corporate expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015

 

At September 30, 2016, we had cash of $329,097 and a deficit in working capital of $17,862,414.  We used cash in operations of $7,863,915 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to cash used in operations of $9,250,305 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $16,512,923, offset by stock-based compensation of $1,988,903 and abandoned project costs of $5,321,080. Cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is mostly attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $6,424,411 and the decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities by $5,129,473, partially offset by stock-based consulting fees of $1,988,226.

 

Cash provided by investing activities consisted of a repayment of advances to a related party of $167,593 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We had cash used in investing activities of $114,102 represented by advances to related party for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 mostly consisted of $3,847,030 for the sale of common stock, net of issuance costs, $1,947,879 in proceeds from deposits of notes payable, net of debt issuance costs, and $1,500,000 in proceeds from the issuance of mortgage notes payable, net of issuance costs. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 mostly consisted of $5,095,994 for the sale of common stock, net of issuance costs, $2,937,166 for deposits received for notes payable, $2,277,860 in proceeds from the issuance of performance-linked notes payable, offset by payments on loans payable of $1,160,865.

 

We will require additional funds to fully implement our plans. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in the dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. We currently do not have any guaranteed arrangements for additional financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing, a successful marketing and promotion program and, further in the future, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, or issuing additional notes payable, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. 

   

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred a net loss of $16,512,923 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $33,529,792. The Company has a deficit in working capital of $17,862,414 as of September 30, 2016 and used cash in operations of $7,863,915 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

  

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

 

 

  30  

 

 

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources to be used for operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

 

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 13, 2016.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

  

The disclosure required under this item is not required to be reported by smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

  

  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

   

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")) as of June 30, 2016. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on that evaluation, the Company's management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information was not accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

  (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

   

During the course of business, litigation commonly occurs. From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. The Company operates in a highly regulated industry and employs personnel which may inherently lend itself to legal matters. Management is aware that litigation has associated costs and that results of adverse litigation verdicts could have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Management, in consultation with legal counsel, has addressed known assertions and predicted unasserted claims below.

 

On August 6, 2015, Mrs. Gloria Julie Couillard and Tekno Forme (“Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint naming CTC, its President, ROI DEV, Philippe Germain and Sebastian Cliche as co-defendants claiming unpaid fees of $207,638. On September 2, 2015, a default judgement was served against CTC. CTC and its President are applying to set aside the default judgement against them and the Company is opposing the Plaintiff’s notice of Application. On October 9, 2015, the Plaintiff registered a lien on the Company’s Canadian properties in the amount of $207,638. On March 17, 2017, the Plaintiff agreed to release its judgment filed against the Company’s Canadian properties and removed its lien, in its entirety, registered on these properties.

 

On September 14, 2015, the Company received a notification from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) of a Request for Mediation, dated September 8, 2015, filed by Seth Shaw, pursuant to a mediation and arbitration clause contained in a Consulting Agreement allegedly entered into between the Company and Seth Shaw on May 1, 2014. The Company executed such agreement but believes that Seth Shaw failed to perform under said agreement. Mr. Shaw believes that the agreement is valid and in effect. The matter under dispute is 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A common stock which were to be issued to Mr. Shaw pursuant to such agreement. A certificate for such shares was issued but never delivered to Mr. Shaw, because the Company cancelled the Agreement for failure to perform. The Company cancelled the shares and recorded a liability for the then value of the shares of $175,000 which was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. The Company and Mr. Shaw met in mediation on February 22, 2016 with no resolution achieved. The parties then attended an arbitration evidentiary hearing on January 20, 2017 whereby a final arbitration award was issued on March 30, 2017 and subsequently a judgment was delivered by the United States District Court of Nevada on March 1, 2018 ruling that Mr. Shaw was entitled to recover $755,125 from the Company for breach of contract claim, $103,110 of legal fees and $3,625 in costs. The Company intends to vigorously take necessary actions to defend itself from these claims by Mr. Shaw and has not revised the recorded liability of $250,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, as it still represents the best estimate of the possible outflows to settle this case.
