To the Director of
Conte Rosso & Partners S.r.l. (formerly All Real Estate S.r.l.)
Rome, Italy
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Conte Rosso & Partners S.r.l. (formerly All Real Estate S.r.l.), an Italian corporation, expressed in euros as of December 31, 2010 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Conte Rosso & Partners S.r.l. (formerly All Real Estate S.r.1.) as of December 31, 2010 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The above financial statements and the accompanying notes have been restated to include those adjustments and additional information which the Company's management considered necessary to comply with the comments illustrated in the letter dated April 3, 2013 issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

| 2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Basis of consolidation
All majority-owned subsidiaries in which CR&P has both voting share and management control are consolidated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Subsidiaries over which control is achieved through other means, such as stockholders agreement, are also consolidated even if less than 51% of voting capital is held. The equity attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries is shown separately in the consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
The Euro is the functional currency of all companies included in these consolidated financial statements.
The amounts presented have been rounded to the nearest thousand.
Restatement
We have made changes to the balance sheets, statement of operations and cash flow statements to correct our presentation to comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. None of these changes are material and the net effect is not material to the financial statements.
Additionally, we added and changed our footnotes to comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. None of these changes are material and the net effect is not material to the financial statements.
Fair value
We disclose the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities based on observable market information where available, or on market participant assumptions. These assumptions which are subjective in nature involve matters of judgment, and, therefore, fair values cannot always be determined with precision. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). ”US GAAP” establishes a valuation hierarchy for prioritizing the inputs and the hierarchy places greater emphasis on the use of observable market inputs and less emphasis on unobservable inputs. When determining fair value, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
Level One—Fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level Two—Fair values based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets and liabilities, and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
Level Three—Fair values based on inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. Valuation techniques could include the use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
We utilize the market approach and income approach for valuing our financial instruments. The market approach utilizes prices and information generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets and liabilities and the income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). For instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, financing receivable – current, accounts payable and current maturities of long-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items and their close proximity to maturity
Acquisitions
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates.
The results of operations of businesses acquired by us have been included in the consolidated statements of income (loss) since their respective dates of acquisition. In certain circumstances, the purchase price allocations are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when we receive final information, including appraisals and other analyses. There were no contingent payments, options, or commitments specified in any of our acquisition agreements.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, cash on current accounts with banks, bank deposits and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of less than three months.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discounts. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to record or adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates. The Company has determined that as of December 31, 2011 and 2010
€ 0 and € 70,000 respectively, is the allowance for doubtful accounts required. The Company does not require collateral to support customer receivables.
Investments
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates over which we exercise significant influence, but do not control, including joint ventures, are accounted for using the equity method.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates over which we are not able to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and adjustments for impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment also include assets under construction and plant and equipment awaiting installation.
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in an item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditures are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statement of income as incurred.
Capitalization ceases when construction is interrupted for an extended period or when the asset is substantially complete.
Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual assets.
Depreciation commences from the time an asset is put into operation. Depreciation is not charged on assets to be disposed of or on land. The range of the estimated useful lives is as follows:
| - | Buildings and constructions: 33 years |
| - | Machinery and equipment: 2-20 years |
Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value of the assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value will be charged to earnings.
Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals, and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers.
We evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets based on our plans, at the time, for such assets and such qualitative factors as future development in the surrounding area and status of expected local competition.
Assets and liabilities held for sale
In connection with the strategy of building the portfolio of real estate and hotel investments in the periods presented we entered into various negotiations with potential purchasers to sell properties. These sales are expected to be concluded in the near future.
The Company has assessed that the potential realizable value of these assets at the market value are higher than the net asset carrying value and accordingly no impairment has been recorded.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, and do so during the last month of each year using balances as of the end of September and at an interim date if indications of impairment exist. Goodwill impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount in a two-step process with an impairment being recognized only where the fair value is less than carrying value. We define a reporting unit at the individual property level.
When determining fair value in step one, we utilize internally developed discounted future cash flow models, third party appraisals and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. Under the discounted cash flow approach we utilize various assumptions, including projections of revenues based on assumed long-term growth rates, estimated costs and appropriate discount rates based on the weighted-average cost of capital. The principal factors used in the discounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment are the projected future operating cash flow, the weighted-average cost of capital and the terminal value growth rate assumptions. The weighted-average cost of capital takes into account the relative weights of each component of our capital structure (equity and long-term debt) and is determined at the reporting unit level. Our estimates of long-term growth and costs are based on historical data, various internal estimates and a variety of external sources, and are developed as part of our routine, long-term planning process. We then compare the estimated fair value to our carrying value.
If the carrying value is in excess of the fair value, we must determine our implied fair value of goodwill to measure if any impairment charge is necessary. The determination of our implied fair value of goodwill requires the allocation of the reporting unit’s estimated fair value to the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if we had completed a business combination.
We perform the allocation based on our knowledge of the reporting unit, the market in which they operate, and our overall knowledge of the hospitality industry.
Leasing
All lease agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries as lessees are accounted for as capital leases. The Company recognizes the asset and associated liability on its balance sheet. Capital leases are capitalized at the beginning of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments. Each installment of the lease is apportioned between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve an equal reduction in capital due for each payment made at constant rate on the remaining financial balances.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments principally for the management of exposure to variable interest rates on long-term financing. All derivative financial instruments are classified as assets or liabilities and are accounted for at trade date. The Company measures all derivative financial instruments based on fair values derived from market prices of the instruments. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is significant and that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability, are recorded in the income statement.
As of December 31, 2011 there is only one derivative instrument hedging the risk of variable interest rates (an “interest rate cap”), the notional amount is €4 million. This derivative instrument hedges the risk from change of interest rate on a mortgage loan facility with “bullet” repayments originally of € 8 million of which € 6.6 million is outstanding and included on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011as an available-for-sale asset.
The change in fair value of this derivative instrument over the period January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011 is negligible and, therefore, no impact has been reflected on the CR&P consolidated income statements.
Shareholders loans
Shareholders loans to the Group are all non-interest bearing. Italian law provides that the shareholders loans to a corporation ("S.r.l.") are not preferred and their repayment is subordinated to other categories of debt. As a result all shareholder loans are classified as non-current liabilities.
Stockholder’s Equity
The share capital is one share, fully paid €98,000. Mr. Antonio Conte and Ms. Maddalena Olivieri each contributed 50% of the share capital of CR&P. In accordance with Italian law, this share is registered with the Register of Companies at the Italian Chamber of Commerce. In the last quarter of 2011, Mr. Conte waived repayment of a shareholder’s loan of € 25.9 million, which consequently has been recognized as Additional Paid-In Capital.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues are derived from rent we receive according to rental agreements that we have in place with a Hotel Management Company. The majority of our rent is fixed and payable monthly. We recognize additional revenues that are variable based on a percentage of the operating profit of our rented hotels. The recognition of the additional revenues occurs as soon as the Hotel Management Company provides us with the final figures for the operating profit (such figures are to be provided by the end of February of the subsequent fiscal year). If 75% of the actual operating profit exceeds the amount of the fixed rent for the completed fiscal year, then the Hotel Management Company is required to pay to us an amount equal to such difference by the end of March of the subsequent fiscal year, and, from an accounting point of view, we add this amount to the revenues derived from the fixed rent for the completed fiscal year.
Taxes
Income taxes
We account for income taxes to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the respective assets and liabilities. We recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position when, based on the technical merits of the uncertain tax position, it is more likely than not to be sustained on a review by taxing authorities.

Litigation
The Company and certain subsidiaries are defendants in legal actions in the normal course of business. Based on the advice of legal counsel, management believes that the amounts recognized and recorded as debt provisions or asset negative adjustments are sufficient to cover probable losses in connecti-on with such actions.
The risk provisions or negative adjustments are recognized when in accordance with the opinion of legal counsel the liability is probable and measurable.
Tax losses carryforwards
Under Italian tax law the operating loss carryforwards available for offset against future profits can be used indefinitely. Operating loss carryforwards are only available for offset against national income tax, in the limit of 80% of taxable annual income.
Our operating losses carried forward and available for offset against future profits as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is € 9,264 and €5,204, respectively.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:
| | December 31, 2011 | | | December 31, 2010 | |
Deferred tax asset – net operating loss carryovers | | € | 2,548 | | | € | 1,431 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (2,548 | ) | | | (1,431 | ) |
Net deferred tax asset | | € | - | | | € | - | |
The Company periodically evaluates whether it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred income tax asset. The ultimate realization of this asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income sufficient to offset the related deductions. At the present time, management cannot presently determine when the Company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset; accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established to offset the asset.
