Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Interim Financial Information – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjuncti on with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements.
The Company is considered to be a development stage company with its activities to date consisting of developing a network of resorts by acquiring or controlling boutique style resorts located in the Caribbean. The Company acquired its first resort, a 22 room property located in Barbuda West Indies, in September 2003. The Barbuda property commenced operations in April 2004. The Company plans to sell develop and sell cottages on the property in a condominium type offering which entitle the member to both use the resort as well as offer the cottages for rent in the rental pool.
Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share —At September 30, 2006, there were 5,906,580 options/warrants outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effects would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.
Stock Based Compensation —Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments” (“FAS 123(R)”), an amendment of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date: (a) based on the requirements of FAS 123(R) for all share-based awards granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of FAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. Accordingly, we did not restate the results of prior periods. The most notable change with the adoption is that compensation expense associated with stock options is now recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations, rather than being disclosed in pro forma footnote to our consolidated fina ncial statements.
As a result of adopting FAS 123(R), the Company recognized no compensation expense related to unvested options for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock options issued to directors, officers, and employees under Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations (“APB 25”). The Company accounted for options and warrants issued to non-employees at their fair value in accordance with SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). As a result, the Company did not recognize compensation expense relating to employee stock options because the exercise price was equal to the market price at the date of grant.
Business Condition –The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements for the period from January 11, 2001 (date of inception) through September 30, 2006, the Company incurred a net loss of $24,658,060. The lack of material revenues and the loss from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amount and classification of liabilities which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. The Company’s management has raised capital and acquired operating resort properties in the Caribbean in anticipation of ultimately attaining successful operations; however, there is no assurance that this will occur.
NOTE 2 – DEPOSITS
On June 2, 2005, the Company placed $250,000 as a deposit and entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated third party to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of two companies which, through a subsidiary wholly owned by the two entities, own and operate a resort located in Antigua, West Indies, known as theSt. James Club, Antigua. Due to unforeseen delays, the Company was unable to affect a closing of the transaction and effective August 20, 2005, the Stock Purchase Agreement was terminated by the seller. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, it became apparent that the Company was not able to collect the funds placed on deposit and wrote the amount off.
NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE
On December 23, 2005, the Company completed a restructuring of their agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. The term of the new note is three years and bears interest at prime plus two percent, subject to adjustments. Interest payments commenced monthly on January 1, 2006. The Company will be required to begin making monthly principal payments in the amount of $51,063 commencing on December 31, 2006 and monthly thereafter for the three-year term, with a balloon payment at maturity. At September 30, 2006, the Company owed $6,127,616 under this note.
During July 2006, the Company entered into a note agreement with All American Plazas, Inc. to advance against certain funding requirements of the Company. The current amount of the note is $1,218,890. The note bears interest at prime plus 2 percent and is due on June 30, 2007
During March 2006, the Company entered into a note payable agreement for $15,000 from an individual. The note was due in June 2006, is unsecured and bears interest at 5%. The Company is currently in default under this agreement.
On April 6, 2006 the Company received $55,000 in proceeds from short-term notes payable. The terms of the notes require monthly interest payments of 5% per month. There will be no principal payments during the first sixty days. The principal balance will be due and payable on the sixty first day unless the principal is rolled over for one additional sixty day period (which terms and conditions of the initial note shall remain in effect), and shall be paid on the sixty first day following the renewal. The company is currently in default under this agreement.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had $9,006,280 and $7,416,989 in notes payable outstanding respectively.
NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Series A Preferred Stock The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 600,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Each share is convertible into 50 shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the holder, or under certain conditions by the Company. Annual dividends accrue on the preferred stock at the rate of prime during the first two years, prime plus 2% during year three, and prime plus 3% thereafter. The Company can redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at a price of 106% of the stated value per share. On June 7, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (Agreement) with All American Plazas, Inc (AAPI), an unaffiliated third party. Under the terms of the Agreement, existing shareholders of the Company would exchange 70% of their share holdings in the Company for an amount of All American Plazas, Inc preferred stock provided in the Agreement. The Agreement closed on August 8, 2006. Concurrent with the Agreement all 17,800 shares of Series A preferred Stock has been converted to 890,000 shares of common stock and the holders of the Series A Stockholders have forfeited their rights to any and all accrued dividends. The conversion and adjustment for accrued dividends have been properly reflected in the Financial Statements as of September 30, 2006.
Series B Preferred Stock On October 11, 2005 the Company changed their articles of Incorporation and designated a Series B preferred stock. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 400,000 shares of $25 par value preferred stock with dividends payable semi-annually on the stated value at the rate of 5% per annum. The Series B Preferred stock shall rank senior to all classes of common stock but junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, shall be convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share and is non-voting. Concurrent with the Agreement disclosed above all 267,070 shares of Series B Preferred Stock has been converted to 14,243,500 shares of common stock and the holders of the Series B Stockholders have forfeited their rights to any and all accrued dividends. The conversion and adjustment for accrued dividends have been properly reflected in the Financial Statements as of September 30 , 2006.
Common Stock During February 2006, the Company issued 3,500 shares of common stock for services. The shares were valued at $1,225 or $0.35 per share which was the market value on the date of issuance.
During May 2006, the Company issued 158,000 shares of common stock for services. The shares were valued at $63,200 or $0.40 per share which was the market value on the date of issuance.
As discussed further in Note 5, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase 116,666 shares of common stock from its former president. The shares were valued at $35,000 or $0.30 per share.
As discussed above, concurrent with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on August 8, 2006, all of the shares of Preferred Series A and Preferred Series B Stock were converted to 14,243,500 Common Shares on August 8, 2006.
Warrants During June 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants expire on April 1, 2009. Concurrent with the Share exchange Agreement discussed above the former holders of the 12% subordinated notes relinquished rights to 5,655,573 warrants. During August of 2006 the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,000,000 of commons stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The warrants expire on August 4, 2011.
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lawsuit with Independent Financial Services
On June 15, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Independent Financial Services, Inc. (“IFS”) in which IFS agreed to act as an agent for CCI to obtain financing for the Company. As compensation for these services, the Company agreed to pay a commission consisting of a) common shares equal to 2% of the common stock on the date of closing and if the lender/investor does not require equity participation, then 4% and b) 4% of the gross loan amount payable in cash, which includes any mezzanine, equity funds or sale/leaseback proceeds. This agreement expired on August 17, 2004. If the Company obtains funding from a source introduced by IFS during the original term of the agreement, within five years of the expiration of the agreement, the Company is required to pay the above fees to IFS.
On July 29, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Laurus. Under the agreement, the Company issued to Laurus a convertible term note in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000 plus options and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. On September 1, 2004, IFS filed a lawsuit against CCI claiming breach of contract and seeking the payment of fees under the agreement. IFS is also seeking an award of compensatory damages, punitive damages, interest, costs and such other relief as provided by law and deemed just by the Court. The Company filed an answer to the lawsuit stating in part that IFS fraudulently induced the Company to enter into the agreement knowing they (IFS) were not a registered broker-dealer. The Company also believes that the nature of the underlying transaction with Laurus would require IFS to be a registered broker-dealer in order to receive such fees or commissions.
On October 25, 2006 the Company received notice from the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island of a Judgment in favor of the IFS in the amount of $639,211. The amount is reflected in the financial statements as of September 30, 2006
Lawsuit with former president
In March 2004, the Company and its subsidiary filed a complaint in the Supreme Court for the State of New York against the former president of the Company’s subsidiary seeking declaratory relief against certain claims made by the former president. The former president filed an answer and counter claim alleging he was entitled to participate in the November 2002 stock exchange agreement between the Company and its Subsidiary and is entitled to 3,544,170 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, the former president alleged he was terminated without sufficient cause under his employment agreement and was entitled to additional compensation of approximately $48,000. On June 27, 2006, the parties entered into a stipulation agreement and settled the litigation.

Overview.
We are CCI Group, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries are Caribbean Clubs International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Beach Properties Barbuda Limited, an Antiguan company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference to “our” or “we” includes our subsidiaries.
We were incorporated in Utah on February 1, 2000 under the name of Kinship Communications, Inc. We changed our name to Kinship Systems, Inc. on March 2, 2000. CCI-Delaware was incorporated on January 11, 2001, and on August 13, 2003, Beach Properties Barbuda Limited was incorporated.
Effective November 18, 2002, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Caribbean Clubs International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCI-Delaware”). Pursuant to the agreement, all of the shareholders of CCI-Delaware exchanged their common shares for our common shares on a 1 for 11.8139 ratio (rounded to whole shares). The transaction was approved by the majority of our shareholders. As part of that transaction, our then officers and directors resigned and were replaced by our current officers and directors.
On August 29, 2003, we changed our name to CCI Group, Inc.
On September 18, 2003, we acquired a sub-lease to our first resort property located on the island of Barbuda, West Indies. The resort features 21 oceanfront junior suites and one villa situated on a pristine, isolated Caribbean beach. The property is located on 90 acres and is the subject of a 99 year lease agreement with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda which began in 1989. In December 2003 we commenced a $1,300,000 renovation of the resort. The renovations were completed in April 2004 and which transformed the resort to a five star destination. Our resort is now called “The Beach House-Barbuda.” The resort commenced operations in April 2004. On April 22, 2005, using funds from the transaction with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., we paid the entirety of our lease payments remaining under the original sub-lease agreement. We are now the lessee of the governmental lease. We have delayed the full scale promotion of our membersh ip plan for the foreseeable future, and are concentrating our management efforts on the marketing and operations of our existing resort. We intend to acquire or operate other boutique style resort hotels located in the Caribbean and sell memberships to our acquired properties. We expect to re-initiate our membership marketing efforts when we have acquired at least one more operating resort.
Nine Month Period Ending September 30, 2006 Compared With Nine Month Period Ending September 30, 2005.
Results of Operations.
Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $1,964,403 compared with $1,268,700 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase of $695,703 or 54.8% from the prior period reflects the impact of our continued resort promotion through our sales and marketing and public relations efforts.
Total operating costs, consisting of cost of sales, direct and operating expenses, and general and administrative expenses, were $4,470,608 for the 2006 period compared with $3,491,533 for the comparable 2005 period. Cost of sales which consists principally of food and beverage costs for our Barbuda resort was $259,637 for the 2006 period compared with $175,690 for the comparable 2005 period. The increase of $83,947 or 47.8% for the 2006 period reflects the higher occupancy rates for the period. Direct and operating expenses which represents non managerial employee related costs, and other direct charges at our resort such as fuel and utilities, was $1,070,201 compared with $1,054,375 for the comparable 2005 period. The increase of $15,826 or 1.5% for the 2006 period is a result of a increased activity at our resort. General and administrative which represents managerial costs at our Barbuda resort, consulting and employee relate d charges for our New York operations and depreciation and amortization charges, was $3,140,770 for the 2006 period, reflecting an increase of $879,302from $2,261,468 for the comparable period in 2005. The increase results from expenses related to the issue of warrants to our former C.E.O and other employees, increased public relations sales and marketing, and from a settled legal action during the 2006 period (see Legal Proceedings below).
Loss from operations of the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $2,506,205 reflecting an increase of $283,372 from $2,222,833 for the comparable period in 2005 for the reasons discussed above.
Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $573,112 reflecting a decrease of $2,273,846 or 79.9% from $2,846,958 for the comparable period in 2005. Interest expense, in addition to interest which we paid on our outstanding notes payables, includes for the 2005 period the amortization of deferred loan costs related to stock warrants issued in connection with our financings, including warrants issued with our 12% subordinated notes, warrants issued to a broker dealer, and warrants issued to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. The substantial decrease in interest expense is due to the conversion of a significant portion of our 12% subordinated notes to our Series B Preferred Stock which occurred during December 2005. Interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $350 reflecting a decrease of $82,834 from $83,184 for the comparable period in 2005. Interest income is amounts, generally from the proceeds of the sale of our 12% subordinated notes, held in interest bearing accounts, the sale of which terminated during the 2005 period. Gain on debt restructuring was $240,372 for the nine month period vs. -0- for 2005 and represents the forgiveness of accrued interest on converted debt. Foreign currency exchange gain for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $-0- for the 2006 period compared with $4,844 for the 2005 period. We receive revenues in currencies other than Eastern Caribbean (EC) and United States dollars. Foreign currency exchange gain reflects the impact of converting such other amounts to EC or US dollars.
Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $3,224,575 (or $0.26 per common share) compared with a net loss of $4,981,763 (or $0.51 per common share) for the same period in 2005. The decrease in net loss applicable to common shareholders of $1,757,188 for the 2005 period is due to the factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $2,164,288. Working capital deficit as of December 31, 2005 was $2,514,777. The decrease in working capital deficit from the year end period is principally an increase in prepaid expenses and marketable securities contributed to company from the Share Holder Exchange Agreement (see “Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders” below)
Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, as of September 30, 2006 totaled $3,378,084 which consists of our resort property located in Barbuda. Property, plant and equipment of the Company, net of accumulated depreciation, as of December 31, 2005 totaled $3,663,605. The reduction is due to depreciation that occurred during the period.
As of September 30, 2006, our long term notes payable were $7,251,845,and our current portion of notes payable was $1,754,435. Of the total amount, $6,127,616 is a note payable to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.
We do not expect to incur research and development costs within the next 12 months.
We continue to experience significant losses from operations. We are uncertain as to when we will achieve profitable operations. We require an immediate infusion of capital for us to continue with our business. Due to our cash requirements, our independent auditors in their audit report for fiscal year end December 31, 2005, contained an explanatory paragraph concerning our ability to continue as a going concern. We will require additional funds to meet our working capital needs at our New York office, which includes the payment of our outstanding debt instruments including ongoing amounts under our loan agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., and from time to time our Barbuda resort. We also will require additional funds for any resort acquisition. Finally, if acquired resorts have a negative cash flow from operations, we may be required to raise additional funds to satisfy these working capital needs. We intend to raise the required funds through the private placement of our debt or equity securities or through bank financing. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to meet our cash requirements as described above, we may be required to curtail, suspend, or discontinue our operations, as well as suspend or discontinue acquisition of additional resorts. Our inability to raise additional funds as described above may force us to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could adversely impact our business and business strategy, and the value of our capital stock.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.
---------------------------------------
We 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.

Part II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On March 3, 2004, we and our subsidiary, Caribbean Clubs International, Inc., filed a complaint in the Supreme Court for the State of New York against the former president of our subsidiary seeking declaratory relief against certain claims made by the defendant against us. On October 21, 2003, our subsidiary terminated its employment relationship with the defendant under a “for cause” provision in the employment agreement. The defendant entered into an employment agreement with our subsidiary, and was entitled to receive a total of 300,000 shares of our common stock during a 3 year term, vesting at the month rate of 8,334. The defendant received a total of 116,666 shares of common stock of the Company under the employment agreement. The defendant asserted certain claims against us, including that he was entitled to participate in the November 2002 stock exchange agreement between us and our subsidiary (despite the fact that at no time was the defendant a shareholder of our subsidiary), and therefore, he was entitled to a total of 3,544,170 shares of our common stock under the terms of the stock exchange agreement. He also alleged that he was terminated without sufficient cause under the employment agreement, and therefore is entitled to additional compensation, in the form of salary and common stock under the agreement, among other claims. The defendant has filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that he was entitled to 3,544,170 shares of our common stock, and was terminated without sufficient cause under the employment agreement and therefore is entitled to additional cash compensation of approximately $48,000 under the agreement. On June 27, 2006, the parties entered into a stipulation agreement and settled the litigation. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the former officer waived all claims against the Company and its subsidiary and returned all common stock previously issued by the Company. In exchange, the Company paid the former officer the sum of $35,000. The matter was dismissed by the Court with prejudice.

On May 9, 2006 a resolution was passed by the Board of Directors granting Holders of Series A and Series B Preferred stock fifty (50) votes for each share held on all matters presented to the shareholders of the company for a shareholder vote.
