    1.9. The investment financing plan

    Total project value is of11,000,000 euro, which includes streets construction.

    The above costs do not include VAT.

    Covering the necessary liquidity for VAT not included above is provided in working capital.

    So far, expenses have been made of 110,000 euro for the fulfillment of the studies and

    approvals and permits for the project (initial expenses), including partial payment for the land andthe costs of land taxes, notary, further approvals and permits necessary for this project. The rest of

    the amount financed by the partners will remain as working capital.

    The developer will finance the project with the amount of 4,500,000 euro, with loans from

    the financing institution, in three stages, according to the following table:

    Date Amount financed Repayment of finance Refund accessories

    End of 2011 A) 1,500,000 euro

    January 2012 B) 1,400,000 euro

    May 2012 C) 1,600,000 euro

    December 2012 A) 1,500,000 euro 225,000 euro

    January 2014 B) 1,400,000 euro 196,000 euro

    May 2014 C) 1,600,000 euro 224,000 euro

    Total Amount 4,500,000 euro 4,500,000 euro 645,000 euro

    Repayment of debt and the amount estimated at 645,000 euro representing accessories, will

    be made in stages. Amount of 225,000 euro forecasted as accessories for the loan of 1,500,000 euro,

    calculated to ~ 15 % per year, is justified considering that it is unsecured loan without mortgage

    guarantees and is required urgently for a short period, namely 12 months. The remaining credit will

    be a line of credit for working capital, totaling 3,000,000 euro, which is more economical, withaccessories calculated to ~ 7 % and will be repaid within 24 months.

    The remaining capital required, of 6,400,000 euro, will be provided by self-financing.

    The developer had bought the land with price of 950,000 euro. Sale-purchase agreement

    provided that the land was sold free of obligations, with the right to use from the date of signing,

    and transfer of property rights will be made after paying the full value of the land until 21 December

    2011.

    1.10. Repayment of investment

    Amounts funded by the developer associates will be reimbursed after completion of project

    and selling of apartments, after covering all financial obligations.

    7/17

    3.4. The plan for financing the investment

    Invested capital has the following composition:

    a) The developer will participate with an amount of credit 4,580,000 euro (100,000 euro + 4,500,000

    euro)

    b) The project is self-financing (by sale of apartments completed in developing the whole complex)with the amount of 6,400,000 euro.

    The possibility of self-financing is based on

    - Good planning of the project (development costs come in stages and allow time to cover them by

    income from the sale of apartments),

    - Certainty that we have for quickly sale of the apartments (based on data and specialized studies),

    - Competitive prices on a market with acute need for housing with average costs

    - advantage of this period until the summer of 2012, when the first apartments will be completed, in

    which is foreseen a regulation of credit conditions in favor of the consumers and an active real estate

    market.

    4.0.COMMERCIAL ANALYSIS

    4.1. The apartments offered

    Medium-cost apartments in finished condition, in an project with 14% POT, CUT 0.68. This

    factor is much better compared to the conditions of surrounding area having generally POT of 40%

    and CUT of 1.2.

    The project provides for sharing of utilities and sanitation, access roads, and a number of car

    parking spaces approximately equal to the number of apartments.

    4.1.1. Presentation of provided apartments

    Studios:

    - two studios at ground floor, with areas of 54,85 and 41,13sq.meters, consisting of kitchen,

    bathroom and living room without balcony

    - two studios at first floor, with areas of 61,30 and 51,88sq.meters, consisting of kitchen, bathroom

    and living room with balcony

    - three studios each at floors 2, 3 and 4, with areas of 61.02, 56.66 and 51.88 square meters,

    consisting of: kitchen, bathroom and living room with balcony.

    Two-room apartments:- two apartments at ground floor, with areas of 64.51 and 55.43 square meters, consisting of kitchen,

    bath, bedroom, living and hallway, without balcony

    - two apartments at first floor, with areas of 76.41 and 65.39 square meters, consisting of kitchen,

    bath, bedroom, living and hallway, with balcony

    - three apartents each at floors 2,3 and 4, with areas of 58.96, 68.66 and 65.39 square meters,

    consisting of kitchen, bath, bedroom, living and hallway, with balcony

    Three-room apartments:

    - one apartment at ground floor, with area of 93.75 square meters, consisting of kitchen, two

    bathrooms, two bedrooms, living and hallway, without balcony

    - one apartment on the 1st floor with area of 107.32 square meters, consisting of kitchen, twobathrooms, two bedrooms, living and hallway, with two balconies.

    7

  • 7/30/2019 Sample Feasibility Study

    8/17

    We specify that the areas mentioned include common spaces and balconies.

    4.1.2. The main features of the apartments offered

    The apartments are sold equipped with toilets, water plants, sewage, gas, electricity and heat,

    along with central heating and radiators, and equipped kitchen (sink and cabinet). Walls, flooring

    and ceiling will be finished.

    The advantages offered by this project: Fast construction with performant site organization

    - Resistant to earthquakes

    - Conventional construction

    - Insulation according to European standards

    - PVC windows, PVC profiles

    - Excellent resistance to fire

    - Reliability

    - Modern design adaptable to market demand

    - Development in CUT and PUT smaller than of the surrounding area.

    - Optimal environment (job, banking, commercial stores, churches, schools, transportation)

    4.1.3. The level of competitiveness on the apartments market

    Given the timetable of the project in three phases, and that the 15 blocks have an identical

    structure, there is the possibility in the third phase of changing the internal structure of the blocks, as

    number and type of apartments, depending on the demand manifest for the first completed ten

    blocks.

    Taking also into consideration:

    - Structural characteristics, particularly thermal and acoustic insulation, resistance to earthquakes

    and to physical stress,

    - That are new long-life buildings

    - Areas of apartments, which are bigger than of the old apartment offered on the market,

    - Lower prices reported to the apartments area,

    we are assured that in terms of the level of competitiveness on the market, the apartments

    offered by the Sighisoara Imperial project are superior to the existing offer.

    4.1.4. Life Cycle

    The estimated useful life of a building is approximately 40 years.

    Since construction solution guarantees solidity of the walls, a resistance to earthquakes and

    high winds, while being fireproof and heat and sound insulated, we can consider a superior lifetime.

    4.2. Market and trade

    Housing market in the city of Sighisoara is characterized by a high demand, with a high level

    of prices compared with other cities of similar size in the county.

    We can also specify that it is a city that recorded the lowest unemployment rate in Mures

    county, with a large supply of jobs, both in industry and tourism and services, with tourism potential

    in further development.

    Sighisoara is a well-known tourist destination in Romania with potential of being the place

    where can be expected sales of holiday apartments.

    Sighisoara has registered a population growth which was not accompanied by an increase in

    the number of homes in the last 20 years, especially of middle-income people who seek to purchaseapartments.

  • 7/30/2019 Sample Feasibility Study

    9/17

    4.2.1. Brief history of the evolution of demand and supply

    Demand for housing is rising in Sighisoara, taking into account the number of inhabitants

    and the age structure of population, and also the number of those with jobs in Sighisoara who come

    from villages nearby Sighisoara.

    Also, Sighisoara is a tourist destination, by the medieval castle, and the medieval fortificatedchurches of the surrounding area. On a 150 km radius are situated almost all tourist destinations in

    Transylvania, the city is located on a European road (E 60) and on one of the major railroads of the

    country, which connects the capital and the Western countries. Thus, the opportunity of demand for

    real holiday apartments is real.

    Regarding the offer, had not been constructed housing blocks for middle-income population

    since 1990, except those built by the ANL, which are only for young families, for rent.

    4.2.2. Analysis of demand and supply in domestic market

    For this purpose a study was prepared on the real estate market in Sighisoara, in particular

    with regard to the apartments (studios, two and three rooms), by SC SICo. SRL, by ANEVARassessor Eng Szep Stefan in November 2010. (Annex 2.)

    From the conclusion of this study can be observed:

    - Market value for apartments with more than a year after putting into operation is 770 euro /

    sqm for studios, 780 euro / sqm for apartments with two rooms, and 720 euro / sqm for apartments

    with three rooms.

    Prices recommended for emergency sale, taking into account the current real estate market

    conditions, are of 621 euro / sqm for studios, 626 euro / sqm for apartments with two rooms, and

    578 euro / sqm for apartments with three rooms.

    4.2.2.1. Defining the target market segments

    Potential customers:

    - Middle-income families in Sighisoara, as dwellings;

    - High income people from all over the country, as holiday apartments

    - High income people who buy apartments for renting.

    We mention that there is currently a high demand for housing in the City of Sighisoara,

    reflected in the fact that there were no blocks of flats built after 1990, except for a few blocks ANL

    in 2003 and 2004, although the population increased by almost 10% only in the last five years.

    There is a large number of applications for housing allocation from the City Townhall Sighisoara

    (1,000 requests for ANL housing), which for financial reasons does not start a new ANL project.Also, the apartments built by ANL are available only for rent, and rents are roughly

    equivalent to the monthly installment in case of buying on bank mortgage credit for long periods of

    repayment. They are also available for only a certain part of town people and now have 100%

    occupancy.

    For this cause, we estimate that we can consider as potential customers the ANL current

    tenants.

    4.2.2.2. Estimated volume structure and domestic market demand

    We believe that a structure of demand can be considered depending on the type of

    apartments offered as follows:

    9

  • 7/30/2019 Sample Feasibility Study

    10/17

    - For the 195 studios, with an average area of 45.16 sqm, we believe that potential customers are

    singles, young families without children, or pensioners who prefer apartments with lower

    maintenance costs.

    - For the 195 apartments with two rooms, with an average area of 54.60 sqm, we believe that

    potential customers are 1-2 children families with average incomes who can afford buying the

    apartment by contracting bank loans, or people with high incomes or cash availability.

    - For the 30 three-rooms apartments, with an average area of 87.71 sqm, potential customers arepeople with high incomes or big families.

    4.2.2.3. Competition policy, competitive advantages

    Competition at this moment is represented by:

    - Main market: apartments located in buildings built during the years 1970-1990, with antiquated

    equipment and which require improvements and renovations.

    - Secondary market: houses, villas located in Sighisoara and surroundings, at much higher prices.

    4.3. Commercial Management

    Will be provided by qualified personnel, a local establishment, and by operation of all

    facilities for the promotion offered by the market today.

    Will be supported by juridical counsel and experience of Mr. Zoltan Nagy, administrator of

    the company and by Mr. Evlogimenos Ploutarchos, adviser.

    Sales strategy is based on the fact that potential customers to whom the offer is addressed are

    conservatives and do not trust anticipated transactions, meaning transaction before construction of

    the blocks.

    Thus, price policy will be adopted at appropriate time after a rigorous study that will allow

    rapid sale, to ensure the planned profitability in a way that does not require their modification in

    time.

    On the other hand, are stipulated advance cashings of a 12% share of total price, starting

    three months before completion. This advance payment will be stimulated by a price decline of 5%

    on the price offered after completion of the apartments.

    In order to maintain the costs, respectively prices of the sale-buy transaction in attractive

    limits, will not proceed with the possibility of choosing the ceramic tiles, bathrooms, color and

    extras by the client. This will be achieved by separate contract for services with additional costs.

    4.4.3. Expenses for sale promotion

    4.5. The selling price of apartments

    4.5.1. Market Prices

    According to market research, market prices of apartments in Sighisoara, in terms of

    payment in cash or through bank on the subscription, are between 720 and 723 euro / sqm for a

    three-room apartment, between 723 and 783 euro / sqm for apartments with two rooms, and between

    742 and 776 euro / sqm for suites.

    Also, their surfaces are approximately 30 square meters for a studio, 60 square metersapartment with two rooms and 70-80 square meters for an apartment with three rooms.

    Follows, taking into account minimum values, for apartments older than 20 years, a market

    price of around 24,000 euro for a studio of 30 sqm, 48,000 euro for an apartment with two rooms of

    60 sqm and 68,000 euro for a three room apartment of 70 sqm.

    4.5.2. Prices charged

    We estimate that the obtainable medium prices, taking into account the market study,

    calculated at the average area of the types of apartments, are the following:

    - For studios: ~31,612 euro, representing 700 euro / sqm and for the smaller studios with 26.922

    euro

    - For apartments with two rooms: 38,220 euro, representing 700 euro / sqm and for the smaller

    apartments with 35,980 euro

    - For apartments with three rooms: 61,397 euro, representing 700 euro / sqm.

    It should be noted that:

    a) the area of apartments is higher than the old apartment offered on the market

    b) the common areas are the minimal possible as are provided by the architectural drawings

    c) the benefits of a new building, provided with green spaces and parking spaces.

    It can be considered that in the conditions in which is required a quick selling of the

    apartments, prices are very good in comparison with market prices. It may be considered even thepossibility of applying a lower gross profitability rate, down to 20%. In this case the medium prices

    will be:

    - For studios: 23,032 euro, representing 510 euro / sqm.

    - For apartments with two rooms: 27,846 euro, representing 510 euro / sqm

    - For apartments with three rooms: 44,732 euro, representing 510 euro / sqm.

    Final prices will be set according to market demand, location inside the block, orientation,

    existing balconies, location of the block in the neighborhood, taking over the common areas.

    7.2.1. Results account projection

    In order to present incomes and expenses projected to be achieved by developing the project,

    the company has prepared a monthly detailed cash flow study, which is an annex to this study.

    Below we summarize the main elements of this study.

    - 6,400,000 euro by self-financing through the sale of apartments, parking and green space

    7.2.1.2. Projection of expenditure by activities

    7.2.1.2.1. Forecast of operating expenditure

    Operating expenses were forecasted, according to the costs presented in chapter 3.2., for the

    period during Decembrie 2011 - August 2014, i.e. 21 months.

    The project also includes administrative and marketing expenses until finish of the selling of

    apartments, and insurance and warranty obligations after the sale, over a period of 34 months.

    Estimated value of operating expenses for the development of the project is 10,355,000 euro.

    7.2.1.2.2. Forecast of financial expenses

    Projected financial expenses consist of:

    - Payment of fees and bank interest (accessories) at the end of financing period, totaling 645,000

    euro, respectively:

    - 225,000 euro for the 1,500,000 euro credit for 12 months with accessories of 15% per year

    - 196,000 euro for the 1,400,000 euro credit for 24 months with accessories of 7% / year

    - 224,000 euro for the 1,600,000 euro credit for 24 months with accessories of 7% / year

    - 21,000 euro for the 100,000 euro credit for 36 months with accessories of 7% / year (this amount is

    not included in expenses, will be covered only from the profit)

    - Repayment of the loans, amounting to 4,600,000 Euro.

    7.2.1.3. Forecast of profits and dividend policy

  • 7/30/2019 Sample Feasibility Study

    15/17

    scheduled completion of work, and continue to fund the administrative and marketing activities until

    the end of project development.

    Thus, is forecasted to be obtained profits that could be intended for dividend payment

    starting with October 2013, ie after full payment of loans.

    Company's dividend policy provides that dividends to be paid to the partners at the end of

    project development.

    7.2.2. Projection of working capital needs

    Following the acquisition of land for construction, the company foresees the necessity of

    achieving a revolving fund of 3,100,000 euro, meaning that from the amount of 4,600,000 euro as

    shown above will be decreased the amount representing the value of land and the amount of initial

    expenses.

    7.2.3. Cash flow projection

    Cash flow is presented in the appendix named cash flow, with the following observations:

    - The costs are well defined and schedule of payments is based on builder-contractor's schedule ofpayments, so do not bear another interpretation

    - The third tranche of funding, namely the 1,600,000 euro loan will be in the form of covering the

    risk of errors in the projection of incomes.

    - Income projections are based on specialized studies related to regional market conditions during

    the full crisis period with trading prices in November 2010.

    As expenses were taken into account, apart from the estimates submitted by the builder-contractor,

    representing the hard-cost, also expenses of administration, marketing and local government taxes

    and fees, land registry and notary, representing soft-cost.

    - In cash flow calculations were detailed presented main VAT charges and their influence over the

    analyzed period. In this sense was considered a period, in which by adjustment the company has the

    right to receive refund of VAT, larger than the period stipulated in the tax code (45 days), i.e. a

    period of 90 days, which will include any delays due to objective and subjective reasons. Also, we

    wish to mention that in the calculation of VAT invoicing was considered a 5% level, which the Tax

    Code provides for individuals which benefit from this reduction in VAT for the first time.

    7.2.4. Sensitivity and Risk Analysis (SWOT analysis)

    a) Strengths of the project:

    - Fulfilling the objectives as presented in Section 6.1.2.1. Their fulfillment ensures a gained time

    and also a clearer vision of the project.- Signing of the preliminary agreement with the builder-contractor ensures settled and very good

    costs (low prices of construction materials market in this period) based on which was made this

    feasibility study. Also ensures the collaboration with a builder who has credibility in fulfilling the

    time schedule and quality assurance.

    - Concluding a contract with the builder-contractor will ensure construction costs independent of

    fluctuations in market prices of building materials.

    - Signing the contract of sale and purchase of land, which gives us very good cost for the land

    needed for the project, and a superb location from all points of view (utility facilities, leveled,

    friendly environment, accessible).

    - Currently non-existence of other city land areas on which to be built blocks in similar favorable

    conditions.- Obtaining a demolition contract with zero costs, based on the waste materials recovery by the

    demolition company.

    15

  • 7/30/2019 Sample Feasibility Study

    16/17

    Companys associates and administrators experience in construction, as evidenced by Annex.

    - The developer is a newly created company, with activities focusing on this project, without

    negative previous.

    - Capital contribution of the associates, which includes contribution before the establishment of the

    company (30,000 euro) and 100,000 euro in funding along with starting the economic activity of the

    company.

    - Short-term building of the constructions, with low costs and the fact that fixed costs are reducedtaking into consideration the development period.

    - Competitive prices for completed apartments.

    - Feasibility study based on well-defined data and an analytic cash flow containing most of the

    expenditure and income on the basis of specialized documentation with a result that allows

    adjustments (capital resources) for the entire duration of the project, also for the pessimistic case.

    - the ability to stop development of the project phases B and C, that is to be developed only four

    blocks, with forecasted profitability of 19%, if the sale of apartments is not according to the

    forecast. We mention that in this case 70% of the land remains unbuilt, available for other projects.

    - must mention that the great advantage of this project that the development is provided in phases,

    such the investment can be controlled.

    b) Weaknesses

    - That is a newly founded company, and cannot present a prior experience, being based only on

    previous experience of associates - administrators.

    - Amount of financial contribution of the developer smaller than usual conditions required by the

    lending companies

    c) Opportunities

    - The main opportunity is given by the unsaturated market with a shortage of new apartments

    - Existing customers, both for residential and for business or holiday apartments

    - The possibility to charge a reduced VAT rate of 5%, which helps us maintain competitive prices

    - The emergence of better credit conditions offered by banks for mortgage loans

    The fact that Sighisoara registers the lowest unemployment rate in Mures County, so there are jobs

    and population with income allowing the purchase of apartments

    - Lack of competition from other developers in the construction of houses in Sighisoara City

    The possibility that the road construction costs to be taken by Sighisoara City

    - The existence of an easement right on the access road with a width of 13.5 meters towards street

    Mihai Viteazu (E60), according to the contract to purchase that land and land register extracts

    - Sale of green areas and parking spaces represents revenues that are not included in this study

    - Increase of land use efficiency by increasing the height of the block (higher CUT) in thealternative variant presented by PUZ.

    d) Threats

    - Lack of budget upward adjustment of the "First House" program in the second half of 2011, the

    program by which the state encourages the sale of apartments

    - Changes in currency exchange rates for leu-euro by increasing value of the euro will lead to

    increased lei prices of the apartments

    - To achieve less than 70% of the sales forecasts volume of apartments made in the first phase of

    construction, ie for the period May 2012-November 2012

    - Changes to VAT legislation on upward- Appearance of other developers to offer apartments more quickly than those achieved by this

    project (diminished possibility considering their lack at all in the last twenty years).

    8.0. FEASIBILITY STUDY CONCLUSIONS

    The project aims to build a residential neighborhood, easily marketable apartment, fresh

    finish, good quality, at a price lower than the market prices, with high profitability.

    The project will be made in phases, and allows a high profitability and this giving us the

    possibility to change the apartments price policy, volume of investment (to make only first phase)and to insure enough cashing for eventually negative tolerance of the incomes.

    The project has the great advantage of rapid completion, of a volume of 420 apartments.

    Repayment of investment will come quickly, and is provided by the large existing demand

    for apartments and holiday homes in Sighisoara, and the opportunity to practice a competitive price.

    The project itself has taken account of market demand, relative to the number of rooms,

    apartment size and configuration, and build quality suitable with current regional requirements .

    The project represents a potential opportunity in financial terms (high yield) and commercial

    return (project completion and repayment of investment in very short term).
