Crest View Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2002
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY:
Crest View Inc. (the "Company") was organized in the state of Nevada on January
20, 2000. The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle to raise capital to
acquire a business and, as of June 30, 2001, was considered a "blank check"
company inasmuch as the Company was not generating revenues, did not own an
operating business and had no specific plans other than to engage in a merger or
acquisition with an unidentified company or companies. The Company's efforts,
through June 30, 2001, were limited to organizational activities. In July 2001,
the Company established a business plan to develop a vacation and tourist
destination featuring an "eco-resort," wellness center and cultural exhibits, on
the Honduran island of Guanaja. The Company currently has no employees except
for its two executive officers and had no material assets prior to the
acquisition of real estate in September 2001. Administrative services are
currently being provided by an entity controlled by the two executive officers
of the Company.
The Company is considered as being in the development stage, from its inception,
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, since
planned operations have not yet begun. As shown in the accompanying financial
statements, the Company has not generated any revenues to date, and has incurred
cumulative expenses of $280,148.
The Company purchased two parcels of real estate through a 99%-owned subsidiary.
In September 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Plan
Grande Group, S.A., an entity owning an additional parcel of real estate,
thereby making this entity a wholly owned subsidiary. See also Note 2.
The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2002 and the consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
referred to above contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal
accruals and recurring entries only, which are necessary to present fairly the
Company's results for the interim periods being presented.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the
Company's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2002 included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for such fiscal year. Specific reference
is made to such financial statements and the notes to such financial statements,
since certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from this report.
The results of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002
and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE:
In connection with the plans to develop a vacation and tourist resort (see Note
1), since July 1, 2001 and through September 30, 2002, the Company, through
newly formed Honduran subsidiaries, has acquired real property parcels on the
island of Guanaja.
The real property includes (a) one parcel of land, of approximately 18 acres to
be used for the resort, which was acquired at a total cost (including closing
costs) of approximately $425,000; (b) one parcel of land (approximately 3.5
acres) at another site at a cost of approximately $45,000 and (c) one parcel of
land (approximately 19.2 acres) at

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
(Continued)
a cost of $300,000, of which $50,000 was paid at closing and the remainder to be
paid in 4 equal installments (see Note 2).
In September 2001, the Company acquired 1,250 shares (100%) of the outstanding
stock of Plan Grande Group, S.A., ("PGG"), a Honduran corporation. The sole
asset of PGG is real property, approximately 16 acres of undeveloped land,
located on the island of Guanaja. As consideration for the acquisition of these
shares, the Company issued a promissory note payable to the seller in the
principal amount of $268,665. In March 2002, the principal amount of this note,
plus interest accrued of $7,685, was satisfied through the issuance of 552,700
shares of Company common stock.
None of the above properties are presently insured.
NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT:
As of September 30, 2002, long-term debt consisted of a 6% note payable
regarding the acquisition of real estate (see Note 2), due in four semi-annual
payments of $62,500 plus interest. The first installment was paid in July 2002
with loans received from an affiliated company.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
As of June 30, 2000, the Company had issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 units at a
price of $.001 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock
and one-third (1/3) Class A Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant, for cash
proceeds of $3,000. Each full Class A warrant entitles its holder to purchase
one share of common stock and one Class B Redeemable Common Stock Purchase
Warrant at a price of $6.00 per share. Each full Class B warrant entitles its
holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $9.00 per share.
During the year ended June 2001, the Company issued 2,423,324 shares of common
shares to effect the repayment of loans (plus accrued interest) aggregating
$14,062 due to an officer of the Company and also issued 60,000 shares of its
common stock for cash proceeds of $30,000.
In July 2001, the Company issued an aggregate of 288,000 shares of its common
stock, valued at $144,000, to two of its officers. This issuance was in
consideration for entering into employment agreements for a 2-year period. The
Company also issued 57,600 shares of common stock to an affiliated entity in
full satisfaction of its rent obligation under a two-year lease agreement for
aggregate rent of $28,800.
On February 11, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective,
the registration statement filed on Form SB-2 in connection with the Company's
initial public offering (the "IPO"). The Company registered and offered for
sale, 2,100,000 units (each unit consisting of one share of common stock and
one-third (1/3) Class A Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant) at a per unit
price of $.50, 1,200,000 units minimum and 2,100,000 units maximum, basis.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company completed the sale of 1,894,346 units pursuant
to the IPO. Payment of $933,175 was effected through the reduction of
outstanding debt to the purchasers of $898,765 and interest accrued of $34,410.
In addition, the Company received cash proceeds of $13,998 and incurred expenses
aggregating $29,553

(Continued)
in connection with the sale of the units through June 30, 2002. The Company also
issued 100,000 shares in lieu of cash payment for professional services
rendered.
On August 7, 2002, the Company received a loan from an affiliate in the amount
of $101,177. On August 9, 2002, in connection with the successful completion of
the IPO, the affiliate converted this loan into 202,354 units in the IPO and the
Company received net cash proceeds of $1,585 from the sale of the remaining
3,300 units sold in the IPO.
On September 18, 2002, the Company issued 4,000 shares of its common stock
pursuant to a consulting services agreement under which the consultant agreed to
provide financial reporting assistance to the Company, valued at $2,000.

involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could
cause actual financial or operating results, performances or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements not to occur or be
realized. Such forward-looking statements generally are based on our best
estimates of future results, performances or achievements, predicated upon

o our ability to secure refinancing of our indebtedness, when required, on
acceptable terms;
o general economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere, as well as
the economic conditions affecting the resort industry in which we operate;
o the effects of terrorists activities and the threat of such activities on
our target eco-resort customers;
o our dependence on officers and directors who have no experience in the
management and marketing of an eco-resort;
o the competitive environment within the resort industry;
o our ability to raise additional capital, if and as needed, including our
ability to keep in effect the registration of our securities in order to
permit the exercise of outstanding warrants;
o the cost-effectiveness of our real property acquisitions on the Honduran
island of Guanaja;
o local, national and international political and regulatory matters affecting
the resort industry in general and our planned activities to develop an
eco-resort on the Honduran island of Guanaja;
o the timing and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, if ever,
and our ability to comply with regulatory requirements;
o the timing of future revenues from our commercial activities; and
o the other risks detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB and, from
time to time, in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made
by us in this Form 10-QSB and our other filings with the SEC. These reports and
filings attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and
prospects. The forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-QSB speak only as
of the date of this Form 10-QSB and we disclaim any obligation to provide
updates, revisions or amendments to any forward-looking statements to reflect
changes in our expectations or future events.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are currently in the development stage and all our activities from inception
to date were related to our formation, preparation of our business model,
arranging and planning financing and the acquisition and preliminary development
of real property. Our ability to commence business operations is contingent upon
obtaining adequate financial resources through the sale of equity securities,
loans and otherwise.
- 9 -
We have financed our operations to date through the sale of our securities to
and loans from, primarily, our officers and directors and their family members,
affiliates and friends. Almost all of the outstanding amounts due under these
loans were used by the lenders as the consideration for their purchases of an
aggregate of 2,068,704 units sold in our initial public offering.
From inception through September 30, 2002, net cash used to fund operating
activities totaled approximately $80,000, net cash utilized by investing
activities totaled $895,000 and net cash provided by financing activities
totaled $977,000.
From inception through September 30, 2002, our sole source of cash and capital
has been from the following transactions:
o in January 2000, we sold and issued to an affiliate of our chief executive
officer 2,960,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase
986,667 additional shares of our common stock for total cash proceeds of
$2,960;

shares of our common stock for total cash proceeds of $30,000;
o in July 2001, we borrowed $72,300 from Falcon Financial Group LLC, an
affiliate of our chief executive officer and vice president and which also
is our sub-lessor, and issued to Falcon a promissory note in the principal
amount of $72,300, bearing interest at the rate of 7% per annum, which note
was satisfied in connection with the affiliate's participation in our
initial public offering, as more fully discussed below;
o in July 2001, we issued to Falcon 57,600 shares of our common stock in
satisfaction of our sublease rent obligations to this affiliate totaling
$28,800;
o in July 2001, we borrowed a total of $400,800 from family members and
affiliates of our chief executive officer and issued to these family members
and affiliates promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$400,800, bearing interest at the rate of 7% per annum and due in June 2003,
which notes were satisfied in connection with the family members' and
affiliates' participation in our IPO;
o in September 2001, we acquired real property in Honduras by issuing a
promissory note, in the principal amount of $268,665 due in June 2003, to
the seller of this property, which note was satisfied in connection with the
real property owner's participation in our IPO;
o in October 2001, we borrowed $5,000 from an affiliate of our chief executive
officer and, in connection with such borrowings, issued a 7% promissory note
in the principal amount of $5,000 due in June 2003, which note was satisfied
in connection with the affiliate's participation in our IPO;
o from December 2001 through February 2002, we borrowed an aggregate of
$112,000 from an affiliate of the spouse of our president and chief
executive officer, and, in connection with such borrowings, we issued 7%
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $112,000, which notes
were satisfied in connection with the affiliate's participation in our IPO;
o from February through April 2002, we received additional loans from
affiliates aggregating $40,000 and, in connection with such loans, issued 7%
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000 due in June
2003, which notes were satisfied in connection with the affiliates'
participation in our IPO;
o in July 2002, we borrowed $7,500 from an affiliate of our president and
chief executive officer, and, in connection with such borrowing, we issued a
7% promissory note, due July 2004, in the principal amount of $7,500;
o in August 2002, we borrowed $101,177 from an affiliate of our executive
officers, and, in connection with such borrowing, we issued a 7% promissory
note in the principal amount of $101,177, which note was satisfied in
connection with the affiliate's participation in our IPO; and
- 10 -
o in October 2002, we borrowed $10,000 from an affiliate of our president and
chief executive officer, and, in connection with such borrowing, we issued
7% promissory notes in the principal amount of $10,000.
Almost all of the funds raised through the borrowings specified above have been
used by us in connection with (a) our acquisition of properties on the Honduran
Bay Island of Guanaja, (b) refurbishing work on a building located on one of our
acquired properties, (c) our making the initial $50,000 down payment in
connection with our January 2002 purchase of a parcel of real property in
Honduras and to pay closing costs incurred in connection with such purchase. In
connection with the January 2002 purchase, we issued to the sellers of the
parcel a promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000, representing the
balance of the purchase price. This note is payable in four semi-annual
installments with a final maturity in December 2004, of which the first
installment was paid in August 2002.
On February 11, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
our registration statement on Form SB-2 in connection with our initial public
offering. We offered for sale 2,100,000 units (each unit consisting of one share
of our common stock and one-third (1/3) of a Class A Warrant) in our IPO, at a
per unit price of $.50, on a 1,200,000 units minimum and 2,100,000 units maximum
basis. We offered to our debt holders who received our 7% promissory notes as
specified above, the opportunity to participate in our IPO through the reduction
in the outstanding amounts due under these notes in lieu of paying cash for the
units being offered for sale. We completed the sale of 2.1 million units
pursuant to the IPO in August 2002. Payment of the purchase price for these
units, aggregating $1.05 million, was effected through the reduction of our
outstanding debt, including accrued interest, to the purchasers of 2,068,704
units and by cash payments by the purchasers of 31,296 units.
We expect to continue to incur expenses relating to:
o the possible purchase of additional real property on Guanaja,
o repayment of debt incurred in connection with our prior acquisitions of real
property on Guanaja
o the development of these properties for cash and notes, and
o the payment of general and administrative expenses and our general working
capital needs.
The timing and extent of our construction and development expenditures, as well
as acquisition of additional parcels of land, if any, will be dependent upon the
timing and success of our capital raising efforts.
We had outstanding $195,000 of loans as of September, including $132,500
classified as a current liability. Our outstanding loans were $205,000,
exclusive of accrued interest, as of October 31, 2002.
We may mortgage our real property and use the proceeds of such re-financings for
further development of the properties to the extent that such real property is
free of liens and encumbrances.
Our costs of developing our Naba Ah and Plan Grande properties over the next
twelve months are anticipated to be between $20,000 and $1.2 million. The timing
and extent of construction of the main buildings for our Naba Ah resort and Plan
Grande tourist destination, as well as acquisition of additional parcels of
land, will be dependent upon the timing and success of our funding efforts.
These development projects will include the following matters:
o Retention of advisors, such as architects, healers, shamans, archeologists,
advisors and historians, to insure harmony and consistency between theme and
historical fact and accepted theory and to assist in the planning and
planting of the herbal gardens at our Naba Ah and Plan Grande properties.
Through our vice president and chief financial officer, John C. Francis, we
have made contact with architects, healers, shamans, archeologists and
historians willing to assist us in this matter, at a cost we estimate will
not exceed $10,000 over the next twelve months, including travel and
miscellaneous expenses.
o Construction of the Naba Ah spiritual and wellness center, development of
our Plan Grande tourist destination and the planting of herbal gardens at
both the Naba Ah and Plan Grande properties, at an estimated aggregate cost
of $375,000.
We anticipate compensating any employees, consultants and other service
providers in the form of a combination of cash, debt and/or securities of our
company. We intend to utilize this method in order to minimize cash expenditures
prior to raising additional funding, if any, and/or the receipt of anticipated
revenues from our business
- 11 -
operations. This method of compensation partially in the form of our securities
also will provide incentives to these employees, consultants and other service
providers that are directly linked to increases in stockholder values that will
inure to the benefit of all of our stockholders.
We expect to incur significant operating losses over each of the next several
years and expect cumulative losses to increase significantly as we implement our
business operations. We do not expect to receive revenues from operations until,
at the earliest, late in the calendar year 2003.
Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors,
including, among others:
o our ability to raise additional funds, through equity and/or debt offerings;
o the cost of acquisitions of additional properties on Guanaja;
o the timing and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, if ever,
and complying with regulatory requirements;
o the timing of future revenues from our commercial activities; and
o our ability to successfully compete for customers for our commercial
operations.
If our capital raising and other funding efforts do not result in our receipt of
funds sufficient to satisfy our spending plans, we will be required to revise
our business model and/or seek a joint venture business partner. We cannot give
any assurance that additional funding will become available when needed or that
the terms of such funding will not be on terms adverse to us and our
securityholders.
We are now subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and, in
accordance with these requirements, we will file reports, proxy statements and
other documentation with the SEC. We also intend to furnish our stockholders
with annual reports containing audited financial statements and other periodic
reports as we deem appropriate or as may be required by law. These reports,
proxy statements and other documentation will contain information concerning our
liquidity and capital resources. We do not anticipate seeking stockholder
approval of any change to our business plans or allocation of capital resources
in conducting our business operations, except as may be required by applicable
law.
Set forth below are some of the risks associated with our plan of operations.
o We have extremely limited resources. We have relied on loans from our
management and friends and family members of our management to fund a
significant portion of our activities to date. We cannot give any assurance
that additional loans will be available from these lenders or any other
source, or that such loans, if available, will be on terms amenable to us.
Our failure to obtain loans or other financing when needed or on terms
amenable to us would have a material adverse effect on our business
operations.
o We will be dependent upon one hotel resort and wellness spa. We anticipate
that our business operations initially will be limited to our Naba Ah
eco-resort and wellness spa. Significant adverse differences between the
actual operating results of these initial operations and our anticipated
results could have a material adverse effect on us and impact our ability to
fully implement our business plans.
o We will incur significant development risks. While our policies with respect
to development of our resort hotel, wellness spa and cultural center are
intended to limit some of the risks associated with these activities, any
new project development is subject to a number of risks, including that:
o temporary or construction financing may not be available on favorable
terms, if at all;
o construction costs may exceed original estimates;
o occupancy rates may not be at anticipated levels;
o permanent financing may not be available upon completion of
construction; and
o construction may not be completed on schedule.
o We are subject to risks associated with uninsured and underinsured losses.
We intend to maintain comprehensive insurance on each of our properties,
including liability, employee dishonesty and building casualty coverage,
once we commence operations. We anticipate the types and amounts of
coverage,
- 12 -
including coverage limits and deductibility provisions, to be customary for
similar properties. However, there are certain types of losses, generally of
a catastrophic nature, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods, that may
be uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a
loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose our investment in the
affected operations, as well as the anticipated future revenues from those
operations, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other
financial obligations related to those operations.
o We will have risks associated with real estate financing. We expect to
finance some, if not all, of our real estate acquisitions and construction
costs through debt financing. In doing so, we will be subject to the risks
normally associated with debt financing, including the risks that:
o our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of
principal and interest;
o we will not be able to refinance indebtedness at maturity;
o that the terms of any such refinancing will not be as favorable as the
terms of the existing indebtedness;
o that necessary capital expenditures for such purposes as renovations and
other improvements cannot be financed on favorable terms, if at all, due
to the terms of the debt financing;
o the potential for a forced sale of properties at potentially distressed
prices; and
o an increase in interest rates would increase the amount payable under
variable rate debt.
o If we do not raise sufficient capital and/or generate sufficient positive
cash flow to fund renovations and capital improvements, we may not be able
to remain competitive. Hotel properties require continuing renovation and
capital improvements, including periodic refurbishment and replacement of
furniture, fixtures and equipment, to remain competitive. The funding of
these expenditures will be dependent on our available capital, revenues and
cash flow. If available capital, revenues and cash flow are insufficient,
our competitive position may suffer which could result in our being forced
to limit or curtail business operations.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
An evaluation was performed, as of September 30, 2002, under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such
evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of September 30, 2002. There have been no
significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to September 30, 2002.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We currently are not a party to any legal proceedings.
Item 2. Changes in Securities.
In September 2002, we issued 4,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to a
consulting services agreement under which the consultant agreed to provide us
with financial reporting assistance, valued at $2,000. We believe that the
issuance of such shares did not require registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, pursuant to exemptions available under the provisions of
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
