The loan is secured by Lot 3, which is owned by the Murano 4000 Trust. Murano acted opportunistically by borrowing the New Finamo Loan in Mexican Pesos at a relatively expensive rate expecting that the Peso would weaken from an artificially strong rate of approximately 16 to 1 USD. This occurred as the Mexican Peso is currently at approximately 20 to 1 USD, thereby lowering the overall cost of the borrowing.
As of December 31, 2023, the Group complied with all terms and covenants included in the loan agreements, except for the following:
GIC I Trust

The Group classified the outstanding balance of this loan as a current liability as of December 31, 2023 due to the waiver being obtained after year-end. |
The Group classified the outstanding balance of the GIC I Loan and the Insurgentes 421 Loan as current liabilities as of June 30, 2024.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Interim Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, and 2023
(Amounts in Mexican pesos)
| 1. | Reporting Entity and description of business |
On September 3, 2024, Elias Sacal Cababie, Chief Executive Officer, Marcos Sacal Cohen, Chief Operating Officer, David James Galan, Global Chief Financial Officer and Oscar Jazmani Mendoza Escobar, Chief Financial Officer Mexico, authorized the issuance of these condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements.
Murano PV, S. A. de C. V. and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) is headquartered at F. C. de Cuernavaca 20, 12th floor, Lomas – Virreyes, Lomas de Chapultepec III Secc., Miguel Hidalgo, 11000, Mexico City. The Group is a Mexican development group with extensive experience in the structuring, development and assessment of industrial, residential, corporate office, and hotel projects in Mexico. The Group also provides comprehensive services, including the execution, construction, management, and operation of a wide variety of industrial, business, tourism, and medical real estate projects, among others. The Group is primarily involved in developing and managing luxury hotels in urban and beach resort destinations.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Andaz and Mondrian Hotels, in Mexico City, were already fully operational with a combined capacity of 396 rooms.
The Group is also developing a resort complex in Grand Island, Cancun, Quintana Roo (the “GIC Complex”), which is ultimately expected to incorporate over 3,000 rooms, a convention center (under the world trade center brand), a water park, a retail village and a beach club. This project is divided into two phases:
| I. | Phase one is nearing completion and when fully operational will have 1,016 rooms, under two hotel brands: (i) 400 rooms, operated under the “Vivid” brand, an adult-only brand; and (ii) 616 rooms, to be operated under the “Dreams” brand, a family-friendly brand. On April 1, 2024, the Vivid hotel began operations. The Dreams hotel is expected to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2024. |
| II. | Phase two of the GIC Complex in Cancun is planned as an integrated resort split across four different hotel brands all operated by Hyatt (Hyatt Inclusive Collection). This second phase is planned to have 2,000 rooms, but the Group has not yet begun the process securing financing for the development phase and a completion date is not possible to estimate at this time. |
The Group is also planning to develop a 5 star upper-upscale resort, in Bajamar, Baja California. The development is currently under preliminary evaluation and the Group has not yet begun the process of securing financing for this project and a completion date is therefore not possible to estimate at this time.
Also in Baja California, the Group is engaged in the development of industrial parks, such as the Baja Park Development Project which is expected to include approximately 363,262 sqm of retail area. Construction is expected to begin once financing has been secured, a completion date is therefore not possible to estimate at this time.
| b. | Significant transactions |
| i. | The first phase of GIC I commenced operations with the opening of the Vivid Hotel on April 1, 2024. |
| ii. | On March 20, 2024, Murano Global Investments PLC, parent entity of Murano PV, and HCM Acquisition Corp (“HCM”) completed the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (“A&R BCA”). These condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements do not reflect any impact derived from this transaction since the accounting and economic impacts are reflected at the Murano Global Investments PLC entity level. |
| iii. | In March 2023, the Group acquired a beach club in Cancun for an amount of $171 million (approximately U.S.$9.4 million). The Group signed a secured loan agreement with ALG Servicios Financieros México, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R. (“ALG”) for a principal amount of U.S.$20 million. The first disbursement of U.S.$8 million, was used to finance the acquisition of the beach club land. In April and July 2023, the Group drew U.S.$5 million and U.S.$7 million, respectively, which were used for the construction of the beach club. The loan bears an annual interest rate of 10% and matures on December 1, 2030. The Group provided this beach club as a guarantee for this loan. ALG is incorporated as trustee in the guarantee trust of Fideicomiso Murano 2000 (see Note 2). |
These condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and on a combined basis prior to the capital restructuring which occurred on March 8, 2024, as discussed in 2.b.2. Since the entities included in these financial statements were under common control both prior to and after the capital restructuring, it had no impact on the financial position, results or operations, or cash flows presented.
| a. | Statement of compliance |
These condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group´s last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
These condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2023 (the “last annual combined financial statements”). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
b.1. Subsidiaries

The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process.

Both of the trusts described above were incorporated by the Group in order to pursue financing opportunities.
b.2. Capital restructuring
During the first quarter of 2024, the Group underwent a restructuring to establish Murano PV, S. A. de C. V. as the intermediate holding entity of the Mexican structure: Murano PV, S. A. de C. V., Murano World, S. A. de C. V., Edificaciones BVG, S. A. de C. V., Fideicomiso Murano 6000 CIB/3109, Inmobiliaria Insurgentes 421, S. A. de C.V., Operadora Hotelera GI, S. A. de C. V., Operadora Hotelera Grand Island II, S. A. de C. V., Operadora Hotelera I421, S. A. de C. V., Operadora Hotelera I421 Premium, S. A. de C. V., Fideicomiso Murano 2000 CIB /3001, Fideicomiso Murano 4000 CIB/3288, Fideicomiso Murano 1000 CIB /3000, Servicios Corporativos BVG, S. A. de C.V., and Murano Management, S. A. de C. V.
The capital restructuring involved a series of transactions between the entities and their shareholders, whereby some of the existing shareholders sold their shares and transferred their beneficiary rights to other entities within the Group in exchange for cash and promissory notes.
Since the entities within the Group were under common control prior and after the capital restructuring, the capital restructuring does not qualify as a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Management deems it appropriate to account for the capital restructuring on a prospective basis for presentation purposes of the financial statements and its related notes as of June 30, 2024 and for the six-month period then ended, mainly because prior to and after the capital restructuring, the entities within the Group are controlled by the same group of shareholders.
The capital restructuring was measured at the previous carrying amounts of assets and liabilities given that the entities are under common control.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Group will continue as a going concern. However, management has identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Group may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group is an early-stage and emerging growth company. The Group has incurred significant debt primarily to fund operating expenses and finance the construction projects mentioned in note 1 (a). As of June 30, 2024, total current liabilities exceed the amount of total current assets, and based upon the Group’s current plans, management believes that financial resources to fund its operations for the twelve months subsequent to the authorization and issuance of these condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements may be insufficient.
In addition, as of and after June 30, 2024, certain covenants have been breached as follows:
| i. | The debt service reserve account related to the Insurgentes 421 loan with Bancomext were not funded on several dates in accordance with the loan agreements, the latest on August 8, 2024, and as a result the covenant was breached. The Group received a waiver on August 26, 2024, extending the payment on the debt service reserve account to October 4, 2024. An additional waiver was also received to extend the delivery of 2023 audited financial statements until September 30, 2024. The lender also confirmed that as of June 30, 2024, there are no events of payment default or default of other contractual obligations other than those described above, and the letter of waiver cured the breaches described above. |
As of June 30, 2024, the loan amount outstanding was $1,819.2 million, which was classified as a current liability since the breach was prior to the reporting date.
| ii. | On August 1, 2024, there was a default relating to funding of the debt service reserve account on the syndicated secured mortgage loan held by Fideicomiso Murano 2000, as well as a default related to the acquisition of financial derivatives on the same date. On August 26, a waiver was received for the breaches mentioned above, waiving the events of default until October 31, 2024. An additional waiver was also received to extend the delivery of 2023 audited financial statements until October 31, 2024. |
On August 26, 2024, the Group received a waiver from the lenders of the Fideicomiso Murano 2000 syndicated secure mortgage loan authorizing a delay on the payment of the quarterly interest until October 31, 2024, curing a technical breach until that date. On August 5, 2024, there was a technical default on a covenant with respect to the quarterly interest payment of the syndicated secured mortgage loan held by Fideicomiso Murano 2000. The reason for the payment delay was a postponement in the closing of a financing transaction, whereby the proceeds expected from such transaction were intended to repay in full the syndicated secured mortgage loan held by Fideicomiso Murano 2000. Management now expects the financing transaction to be closed prior to October 31, 2024. Management has kept the lenders of the syndicated secured mortgage loan fully informed of the progress of the intended financing and has worked closely with the lenders.
In connection with the syndicated secured mortgage loan held by Fideicomiso Murano 2000, on May 2, 2024, Murano World (joint obligor of Fideicomiso Murano 2000) received a $317 million loan with ES Agrupacion, breaching a covenant. The lender agreed to convert it into a minority equity interest in Cancun II project, therefore the Group believes that the breach described will be cured upon conversion. On May 20, 2024 Fideicomiso Murano 2000 granted to ES Agrupacion U.S.$1.85 million loan, breaching a covenant. The Group has not formally requested a waiver from the lenders under Fideicomiso Murano 2000 syndicated secure mortgage loan given that the loan to ES Agrupacion is expected to be repaid in full in the short term.
As of June 30, 2024, the Fideicomiso Murano 2000 syndicated secure mortgage loan amount outstanding was $4,407.1 million, which was classified as a current liability since the breaches were prior to the reporting date.
| iii. | Under certain financing arrangements the Group is obliged to deliver internal financial information and audited financial statements to lenders. The Group delivered its unaudited financial information for March 31, 2024, late. The interim unaudited information for June 30, 2024, was delivered on time. In addition, the Group failed to deliver annual audited financial statements for December 31, 2023, by June 30, 2024, resulting in breaches. As mentioned above, the Inmobiliaria Insurgentes 421 and Fideicomiso Murano 2000 loans, received waivers to deliver the 2023 audited financial statements by September 30, 2024, and October 31, 2024, respectively. The Group has requested waivers from other lenders and expects to deliver the audited information in the short term. |
Management continues evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding necessary for future operations, to comply with all covenants as required by the loan agreements, and to be able to discharge the outstanding debt and other liabilities as they become due. In assessing these strategies, management has considered the available cash resources, inflows from the hotels that are already in operation, and future financing options available to the Group such as new or restructured loan agreements and the possible financial support of the major shareholder of the Group. However, the Group may be unable to access further equity or debt financing when needed. As such, there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to obtain additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all.
These condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going concern basis for the Group as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and for entities comprising the Group as of December 31, 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were not appropriate.
| d. | Use of judgments and estimates |
In preparing these condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the Murano Group’s last annual audited combined financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
Measurement of fair values:
A number of the Group’s accounting policies require the measurement of fair values, for both financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the chief financial officer.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of the Accounting Standards, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
| • | Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and |
| • | Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
| e. | Material accounting policies |
These condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the last annual combined financial statements, except for the consolidation accounting policy, as explained in note 2.b.
| f. | New accounting standards or amendments for 2024 and forthcoming requirements |
A number of new accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2024 and have been adopted by the Group. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosure or the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any forthcoming new or amended accounting standards in preparing these condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements. The Group does not expect to have a significant impact from the adoption of the forthcoming standards.

Construction in process
GIC I is a hotel complex with up to 1,016 rooms, currently under construction in Cancun,
Quintana Roo; the total amount expected to be invested in the construction is $3,200,000,000, excluding
land and financial costs. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023, construction cost incurred were $935,152,963 and $1,106,639,896, respectively.
GIC II is a plot of land located in Cancun, Quintana Roo, where the Group plans to develop a second hotel project with up to 2,000 rooms. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023, construction costs incurred were $3,235,995 and $1,577,714, respectively.
Insurgentes Hotel is a hotel complex comprising two individual hotels with a combined capacity of 396 rooms, located in Mexico City. This hotel commenced operations in the first quarter of 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, construction costs incurred were $79,064,992. As of June 30, 2024 there were no additional capitalized costs incurred for the property.
Capitalization of borrowing cost included in the construction costs of the above-described hotel complexes, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $222,615,785 and $275,133,471, respectively. These borrowing costs were calculated using a capitalization rate of 100% since all the loans held by the Group are specific and directly attributable to the construction in process.
Measurement of fair value
Land and construction in process
Fair value hierarchy
The Group engages third-party qualified appraisers to perform the valuation of the land and construction in process annually. The technical committee works closely with qualified external appraisers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.
The fair value measurement for the land and construction in process has been categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. Changes in fair value are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs
The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of the land and construction in process, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
The revaluation loss as of December 31, 2023 was $889,982,346. The Group did not revalue the assets for the interim period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 as no factors or indicators were identified that could give rise to a material change in the fair value from the prior period revaluation.
| Valuation technique | | Significant unobservable inputs | | Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
| | | | | |
Land Group directors use the market-based approach to determine the value of the land as described in the valuation reports prepared by the appraisers. In estimating the fair value of the subject assets, the appraiser performed the following: • Researched market data to obtain information pertaining to sales and listings (comps) that are similar to the Subject Asset. • Selected relevant units of comparison (e.g., price per square meter), and developed a comparative analysis for each. • Compared the comps to the Subject Asset using elements of comparison that may include, but are not limited to, market conditions, location, and physical characteristics; and adjusted the comps as appropriate. • Reconciled the multiple value indications that resulted from the adjustment of the comps into a single value indication. • The selected price per square meter is consistent with market prices paid by market participants and/or current asking market prices for comparable properties. | | The appraiser compared the comps to the Subject Assets using comparison elements that include market conditions, location, and physical characteristics. • Location (0.80 - 1). • Size (1.08 - 1.20). • Market conditions (0.8 - 1). | | The estimated fair value would increase if the adjustments applied were higher. |
Construction in process Group directors use the cost approach to determine the value of construction in process as described in the valuation reports prepared by the appraisers. In estimating the fair value of building and site improvements, the appraiser performed the following: • Estimated replacement cost of the building and site improvements, as though new, considering items such as indirect costs. • Estimated and applied deductions related to accrued depreciation, resulting from physical deterioration, and work in progress. | | The appraiser used an adjustment factor regarding the status of the construction in process. Work in progress adjustment (0.6 - 0.98). | | The estimated fair value would increase if the adjustments applied were higher. |

Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit before income taxes for the interim reporting period by management’s best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statements.
The Group’s consolidated effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was (0.1)% and 7.1%, respectively. The change in effective tax rate was caused mainly by the following factors:
| • | The temporary differences that arise from the balances of the property, CIP and equipment and the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities items. |
| a. | Common stock at par value as of June 30, 2024 is as follows: |
| | | Number of shares | | | Amount | |
| Fixed capital: | | | | | | |
| Series A | | | 50,000 | | | $ | 50,000 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Variable capital: | | | | | | | | |
| Series B | | | 900,002,000 | | | | 900,002,000 | |
| Total | | | 900,052,000 | | | $ | 900,052,000 | |
| 12. | Commitments and contingencies |
| 1. | In March 2024, in connection with the aforementioned Business Combination Agreement, the shareholders transferred 1,250,000 shares to certain vendors of Murano World as advance consideration for future construction and marketing services. Since these services have not yet been received, no increase in assets nor equity has been recognized as of the date of these condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements. |
| 2. | In accordance with Mexican Tax Law, companies carrying out transactions with related parties are subject to certain requirements as to the determination of prices, which should be similar to those that would be used in arm´s-length transactions. Should the tax authorities examine the transactions and reject the related-party prices, they could assess additional taxes plus the related inflation adjustment and interest, in addition to penalties of up to 100% of the omitted taxes. |
The Group, like its assets, are not subject to any legal contingency other than those of a routine nature and characteristic of the business. From transactions with related parties, tax differences could arise if the tax authority, when reviewing said operations, considers that the process and amounts used by the Group are not comparable to those used with or between independent parties in comparable operations.
On July 30, 2024 Operadora Hotelera GI, S. A. de C. V. signed a 60-month lease agreement with Arrendadora Coppel, S.A.P.I. de C. V. for total rent payments of $40,226,116 plus 16% of VAT.
On August 27, 2024, Nafin issued a commitment letter in favor of Murano PV, for a financing facility of up to U.S.$80 million. This commitment is intended to assist Murano PV with its working capital needs and compliance with its financial obligations, subject to the repayment in full of the GIC I Loan and other customary conditions precedent. We believe that Nafin's commitment letter reinforces our liquidity and short-term financial stability, in furtherance of the fulfilment of our business strategy.
