NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
| 1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by Promotora Valle Hermoso, Inc. (the “Company” or “Promotora Valle Hermoso”) and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for all periods presented has been made. The information for the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from audited financial statements. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 should not be viewed as indicative of the Company’s annual results or the Company’s results for any other period.
Organization
Promotora Valle Hermoso, Inc. and Subsidiary is engaged in developing a real estate project in Ecuador with a surface area of approximately 22,116 m2. The Company operates its business through its Ecuadorean wholly-owned subsidiary, Maria Paz Housing Complex. All of the Company’s revenue is derived in Ecuador.
The project has a three stage plan. The first stage, Maria Paz, is under construction with a total area of 10,200 m2, which includes the construction of 46 houses, two commercial locations, community center, community area, watchman location, parking area and water services. Infrastructure investment and town house construction costs are approximately $300,000. This first stage is 85% sold as of December 31, 2007 and the final closings are scheduled during the first six months of 2008.
The second stage, Jardines de Gerona, is under construction with a total area of 8,800 m2., which includes the construction of 43 townhouses, two commercial locations, community center, common areas, watchman location, parking area and utilities. The stage commenced in July of 2007. Infrastructure investment and townhouse construction costs are approximately $400,000. Sales began in September 2007. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has contracts on 70% of the units to be sold.
In addition to this project, in November 2006, the Company acquired a piece of land of approximately 1,800 m2, located northeast of Quito. This land is intended for the construction of Torres La Guardia. The Company is currently working on the approval of the permits and blueprints. The project is designed to build 38 apartments. The construction is expected to begin at the end of the second quarter of 2008.
Basis of Presentation
On June 6, 2006, Promotora Valle Hermoso entered into a share exchange with Lion Gri International, Inc. ("Lion Gri"). In connection with the share exchange, Lion Gri acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Promotora Valle Hermoso.
As provided for in the share acquisition agreement, the stockholders of Promotora Valle Hermoso received 4,000,000 shares of Lion Gri common stock, representing 64% of the outstanding stock after the acquisition, in exchange for the outstanding shares of Promotora Valle Hermoso common stock they held. Immediately following the share acquisition, Lion Gri had a total 6,342,761 common shares issued and outstanding.
Promotora Valle Hermoso was then liquidated and Lion Gri changed its name to Promotora Valle Hermoso, Inc. The financial statements reflect a retroactive restatement of Promotora Valle Hermoso's historical stockholders' equity (deficiency) to reflect the equivalent number of common shares issued in the acquisition.
For accounting purposes, the share exchange has been treated as a recapitalization of Promotora Valle Hermoso, the acquirer. The financial statements prior to June 6, 2006 are those of Promotora Valle Hermoso.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America requires management to make 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance contained in SEC Staff Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". Revenue from home and land sales are recorded when title is conveyed to the buyer, adequate cash payment has been received and there is no continued involvement. The Company generally is not contractually obligated to give allowances, except for defective construction product.
With the development of the real estate project, the Company has adopted the revenue recognition method for completed work, over which the revenue and costs will be recorded at the time of the completion of home construction and delivery to the buyer. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The cash received on the home is recorded as customer advances until the revenue is recognized. Cash advances at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 against future revenue was $386,408 and $345,082, respectively, and is included in customer advances on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Cost Recognition
Costs associated with future income or otherwise associated with future accounting periods are deferred as assets. These costs are amortized to cost of sales as the applicable homes are sold. The amounts are included in costs of unbilled contracts in excess of billing on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
Post Development Completion Costs
In instances where a development is substantially completed and sold and the Company has additional construction work to be incurred, an estimated liability is provided to cover the cost of such work and is recorded in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines its reserves by specific identification of customer accounts where appropriate. The Company requires progressive payments as the homes are being constructed. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. For the three months ending March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded bad debts of $-0- and $-0-, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, it was assumed that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of such instruments. Management believes that the carrying amount debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company grants credit to customers that are based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company controls its exposure to credit risk through credit approvals, and progressive payments as the work is preformed.
Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews land held for future development or sale and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the present value of the related estimated future cash flows, the asset would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified.
Worker's Participation
In accordance with Ecuadorian law, the Company will pay the workers a 15% participation bonus over period profits before income taxes as each phase of the project is completed. This amount is accrued and included in cost of sales.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are treated as period costs and expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, advertising costs expenses amounted to $404 and $15,731, respectively.
Interest
Costs related to properties under development are capitalized during the land development and home construction period and expensed as cost of sales interest as the related homes are sold. Costs related to properties not under development are charged to interest expense separately in the consolidated statement of operations. Due to the immaterial nature of the interest expense, no interest was capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Depreciation
Equipment used in the day to day operations is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated primarily using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates applicable in future years to the differences noted in the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the reported assets and liabilities.
The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes is a net operating loss carry-forward. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Internal Income Tax Law of Ecuador. The Company is taxed at a rate of 25%.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company issued shares of common stock to employees and non employees as stock based compensation. The Company accounts for the services using fair market value of the consideration issued. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company issued no shares.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of Ecuador is the U.S. dollar. All transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common share and potential common shares outstanding during the year. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no potential common shares.
New Financial Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS 159”) providing companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the Company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The adoption of SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141 (R)”) “Business Combinations”, which replaces SFAS 141 “Business Combinations”. This Statement improves the relevance, completeness and representational faithfulness of the information provided in financial reports about the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquire at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. Under SFAS 141(R), acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, must be recognized separately from the acquisition and will generally be expensed as incurred. That replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141(R) shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual report period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will implement this Statement in 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of non-controlling interests (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership in a subsidiary that does not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment of the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interest of the parent and its non-controlling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods other than fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Statement on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Important Considerations Related to Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words "believe", "intend", "expect", "anticipate", "project", "estimate", "predict" and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT. THEREFORE, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR FORECASTED IN ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES INCLUDE THOSE DISCUSSED IN “PART I, ITEM 1. – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – RISK FACTORS” CONTAINED IN THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007, FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON MARCH 28, 2008. UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, THE COMPANY UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE PUBLICLY ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE. INVESTORS SHOULD REVIEW THIS QUARTERLY REPORT IN COMBINATION WITH THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB IN ORDER TO HAVE A MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S STOCK.
Forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made in this report and in the documents we incorporate by reference are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us or our business or operation. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in such forward-looking statements, their inclusion should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.
General
The following is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as of and for the three months ending on March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to three months ended March 31, 2007.
Revenue
Revenue increased by $107,107 to $147,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $39,950 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, credits from local banks were approved timely; therefore three houses were closed within this period.
Construction Costs
Costs of construction increased by $69,721 to $94,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $25,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The construction costs were proportional to the income increases due to the house sales.
Selling and Administrative
Selling and administrative expenses increased by $2,946 to $57,056 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $54,110 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase is due to strict cost control and changes in sales commissions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 2008, the Company utilized resources that were generated from down payments from the buyers in Ecuador. In addition, the chief executive officer loaned money to the Company.
Net Cash
Net cash provided in operating activities increased by $38,864 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is due to increase in cost of uncompleted contracts in excess of billing, accounts payable and customer advances and decrease in accrued expenses
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Market Risk and Risk Management Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for a complete discussion of our market risk. There have been no material changes to the market risk information included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We may be exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business. Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur as a result of movements in interest rates and equity prices. We currently do not use financial instruments in the normal course of business that are subject to changes in financial market conditions.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company does not have significant interest rate risk, as our debt obligations are primarily short-term in nature, with fixed interest rates. Our embedded derivatives liabilities are revalued each accounting period and their fair value can be affected by interest rate fluctuations based on changes in the risk free interest rate (generally the interest rate on intermediate term obligations of the United States Government).
Credit Risk
We have not experienced significant credit risk as most of our customers are long-term customers with good payment records. Our receivables are regularly monitored by our credit manager.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of March 31, 2008, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Certifying Officers”) conducted evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company’s disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated there under.
Further, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
