Metrospaces, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2014
(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Business

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction ,with the Company’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes hereto as of December 31, 2013 filed on form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014, or any other period.

On October 31, 2014, the Company completed a 1-for-500 reverse split of its common stock. The numbers of shares that appear in the Company's financial statements and these notes have been adjusted for the reverse split for all periods presented, except where specifically otherwise stated.

Business

Metrospaces, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as “Strata Capital Corporation” on December 10, 2007, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Urban Spaces, Inc. (“Urban Spaces”) was incorporated on April 3, 2012, under the laws of the State of Nevada and thereafter formed Urban Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and its 99.9% owned subsidiary (“UPLLC”). Through Urban Spaces and its subsidiaries, the Company builds, sells and manages condominium properties located in Argentina and Venezuela.
Since its incorporation and prior to the merger described below, the Company conducted no operations. Since that merger, it has been engaged in the operations conducted by Urban Spaces, but has not earned any revenue. Accordingly, the Company's activities have been accounted for as those of a "Development Stage Enterprise," as set forth in authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Among the disclosures required are that the Company's financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of Urban Spaces' inception.

Note 2 Significant accounting policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Property

Real property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries

Investments in non-consolidated entities are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. When the equity method is used, investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.

4

Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest costs, expected to be generated by the asset group and their ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The derivative liability in connection with the conversion feature of the convertible debt, classified as a level 3 liability, is the only financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

5

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities. During the six months ending June 30, 2014, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $117,509 from the conversion of convertible debt with a bifurcated conversion option.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenues and has minimal cash on hand to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs. In addition, the Company had a stockholders' deficiency of $613,222 as of September 30, 2014. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the continued financial support from its shareholders and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate revenues in the future. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Advance payment for Real Property

The Company purchased from GBS Capital Partners, Inc. ("GBS"), a related party, the right to receive 9 loft-type condominium units from their builder upon the completion of these units (See note 10). As consideration for this purchase, the Company agreed to pay $750,000 to GBS, without interest (See note 6). The Company has imputed interest on this obligation at the rate of 8% per annum and has recorded the deposit net of such imputed interest at a cost of $665,984. These units will be offered for sale upon their acquisition.

Note 5 Investment in non-consolidated subsidiary

On December 3, 2012, UPLLC assigned to GBS Fund I, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Fund”), UPLLC’s rights to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Promotora Alon-Bell, C.A., a Venezuelan corporation which owns vacant land located in Venezuela upon which a condominium project is to be constructed. UPLLC had acquired such rights from a stockholder of the Company in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $150,000. (See note 7.) This stockholder had acquired his rights to acquire these shares under an agreement with their holders, pursuant to which he paid them $150,000 in cash. This investment, which represents an interest of 26.32% in the Fund, is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Fund acquired the shares in Promotora Alon-Bell, C.A. on December 16, 2012. The Company has not recognized any gain or loss from its investment since the subsidiary has not yet commenced any operations.

Note 6 Long Term Debt – Related Party

On April 13, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase nine condominium units from GBS Capital Partners, a related party of the Company, in exchange for a two year non-interest bearing note payable. Interest has been imputed at a rate of 8% per annum.

6

The Company has recorded an initial debt discount of $84,016 related to the imputed interest which is being amortized on the effective interest rate method over the term of the note. This obligation matures as follows:

Note 7 Notes Payable Related Parties

Notes Payable – Related Party

A $150,000 promissory note payable to a shareholder of the Company incurred for the transfer of an option to purchase the outstanding shares of Promotora Alon-Bell, C.A. (See Note 4), which was due April 20, 2014, and bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 charged to the statement of operations was $12,375.

During the period from the inception of Urban Spaces (April 3, 2012) through September 30, 2014, a stockholder of the Company paid operating expenses of the Company in the amount of $16,090. These amounts were recorded as a loan payable, bearing no interest and due on demand.

Convertible Note Payable – Related Party

On February 19, 2014, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $260,000 in exchange for a previously issued note of $260,000 to the prior president and sole director of the Company. The new note bears interest at a rate of 0.30% per annum and matures February 19, 2015. The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of 2.5% of the current market price of the Company’s common stock, as defined in the agreement. The note is secured by a pledge of all the shares of the common stock of Urban Space, Inc. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 $196,940 of the principal amount of the note was converted into 790,000,025 pre-split shares of common stock. The Company has determined that the conversion feature embedded in the notes constitutes a derivative and has been bifurcated from the note and recorded as a derivative liability, with a corresponding discount recorded to the associated debt, on the accompanying balance sheet, and revalued to fair market value at each reporting period. The note is presented net of a discount of $24,706 on the accompanying balance sheet.

Note 8 Notes Payable

On August 28, 2013, the Company received a $10,000 bridge loan from a nonrelated party. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum and matured on February 14, 2014.

Note 9 Convertible Note Payable

On February 25, 2014, the Company entered into a Convertible Note Agreement in the principal amount of $40,000. The note bears interest at 8% per annum and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a purchase price equal to 58% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for fifteen prior trading days upon which a notice of conversion is received by the Company. The note matures on February 25, 2015, but may be redeemed by the Company for a) an amount equal to 125% of the unpaid principal if redeemed within the first 90 days of the note, b) an amount equal to 140% of the unpaid principal if redeemed after the 91st day but before the 151st day of the note, or c) an amount equal to 150% of the unpaid principal if redeemed after the 151st day but before the 180th day of the note. The note may not be redeemed by the Company after 180 days. The Company has determined that the conversion feature embedded in the notes constitutes a derivative and has been bifurcated from the note and recorded as a derivative liability, with a corresponding discount recorded to the associated debt, on the accompany balance sheet, and revalued to fair market value at each reporting period. On September 17, 2014, $8,852.11 of the principal amount of the note and accrued interest was converted into 152,622,579 pre-split shares of common stock. The note is presented net of a discount of $17,602 on the accompanying balance sheet.

The shareholder referred to above is entitled to receive a monthly salary of $1,250. The salary has not been paid and the Company has accrued an amount of $11,250 and $3,750 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014, and 2013. The Company has accrued an aggregate amount of $37,500 since inception which is reflected in accrued expenses in the accompanying Balance Sheet at September 30, 2014.

See Notes 4 and 6 regarding the assignment of the right to acquire 9 condominium units from an entity in which a stockholder of the Company has an interest.

Note 11 Income Taxes

The reconciliation of income tax benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 34% to the Company’s effective rate for the periods presented is as follows:

U.S. federal statutory rate

-34.0

State income tax, net of federal benefit

-4.0

Increase in valuation allowance

38.0

Income tax provision (benefit)

0.0



As of September 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $365,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") which begin to expire in 2032. Utilization of the NOLs may be subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under regulations.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax asset relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Note 12 Stockholders Equity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 $196,940 of the principal amount of the convertible note payable to a related party referred to in Note 7 was converted into 790,000,025 pre-split shares of common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 $8,500 of the principal amount of the convertible note payable referred to in Note 9 was converted into 152,662,579 pre-split shares of common stock.

Note 13 Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events occurring after the date of these financial statements through the date that these financial statements were issued. No events occurred that require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

On October 1, 2014, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to eliminate all of its Series A Preferred Stock, as the result of which all of its authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred are undesignated.

As indicated above, on October 31, 2014, the Company completed a 1-for-500 reverse split of its common stock.

On November 5, 2014, the Company issued 800,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to its president under the provisions of its Restricted Stock Plan. The vesting of these shares is subject to the provisions of the plan and to the attainment of performance goals set forth in the agreement under which these shares were issued. The Company has filed copies of the plan, the award agreement and related materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 19, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES TO THOSE STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

General

We acquire land and design, build, develop and resell condominiums on it, principally in urban areas in Latin America, alone or together with investors; we are also acquiring condominiums that are under construction for resale, but do not intend to conduct business in this manner after these condominiums have been sold. We sell condominiums at different prices, depending principally on their location, size and level of options and amenities to customers who are able to make substantial payments upon signing purchase agreements and at agreed time as construction progresses. Our current projects are located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Caracas, Venezuela. One of these projects is nearing completion, one has commenced construction and one is in the planning stage. We are considering projects in Peru and Colombia, but have taken no measures to implement them. We will market directly with our own sales force by personal contact, through real estate brokers and agents and internet websites. We will also manage these condominiums for customers who wish to lease them on a long- or short-term basis. The Company’s operating subsidiary, Urban Spaces, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Urban Spaces”) which the Company acquired on August 13, 2012, commenced operations on April 3, 2012. The Company is a development-stage company.

Our consolidated financial statements include only the periods commencing with the inception of our operating subsidiary, Urban Spaces, on April 3, 2012, include the financial statements of Urban Spaces and its subsidiaries and do not include any historical financial data of the Company, which was incorporated on December 10, 2007, and which never conducted any business until April 3, 2012. Accordingly, these financial statements are those of Urban Spaces, which was the accounting acquirer in the merger which is discussed below.

Our History

Prior to the Merger

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on December 10, 2007, under the corporate name “Strata Capital Corporation.”

The Merger

On August 13, 2012, the closing under the Merger Agreement took place and on October 5, 2012, Urban Spaces and Acquisition filed articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which Acquisition was merged with and into Urban Spaces, with Urban Spaces being the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, the Company is no longer a shell company. In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Oscar Brito, the sole holder of the common stock of Urban Spaces, who thereby became the Company’s controlling stockholder. Upon the closing of the Merger, Richard Astrom resigned as the Company’s sole director and president and Oscar Brito became the Company’s sole director and president.

9

Also in connection with the Merger: 

    • On August 13, 2012, the Company completed a private placement with 9 investors (the “Private Placement”) of 335,200,000 shares of Common Stock for proceeds of $36,396 in cash and payment for services valued at $3,604 under Securities Purchase Agreements. The price paid by each investor was 0.0001193317 per share. The Company also entered into Registration Rights Agreements with these investors, pursuant to which the Company filed the registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares issued in the Private Placement, which became effective on May 15, 2013.
    • Richard S. Astrom, the Company’s president and sole director, entered into an Exchange Agreement with the Company, under which 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock owned by him and $170,146 of the Company’s indebtedness to him were exchanged for the proceeds of the Private Placement and a secured promissory note of the Company payable to him in the principal amount of $260,000 and bearing interest at the rate of 0.24% per annum. The promissory note is due on August 13, 2013, is subject to acceleration in the event of certain events of default, contains certain restrictive covenants and is secured by a pledge of all of the shares of common stock of Urban Spaces.
    • On October 31, 2012, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware changing the Company’s corporate name from “Strata Capital Corporation.” to “Metrospaces, Inc.”

As a result of the Merger, we acquire and develop land in urban areas, principally in South American markets, primarily for the construction of condominiums on such land and sell them at different prices and with varying levels of options and amenities to customers who are able to make substantial payments upon signing purchase agreements and at agreed times as construction progresses. We will market directly with our own commissioned sales force, by personal contact by our officers, which will not involve additional compensation to them, through real estate brokers and agents and internet websites and manage these condominiums for customers who wish to lease them on a long- or short-term basis.

Our Common Stock is quoted on OTCQB under the trading symbol “MSPC.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

Revenues 

We had no revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014, or for the three months ending September 30, 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014, were $6,573, compared with $8,391 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. These expenses were lower during the latter period primarily because of expenses, including legal and accounting expenses, associated with being a public company.

Interest

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014, was $51,906, compared with $17,572 for the period ended September 30, 2013.

Other Expenses

We also incurred a loss on the change in fair value of our derivative instrument relating to the conversion feature of our convertible debt, and a gain on extinguishment of debt due to the accounting treatment of the conversion of convertible debt with a cooresponding embedded conversion option accounted for as a derivative.

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $487,907 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, compared with $26,143 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013. The reasons for the increase in net loss were that interest increased to $51,906 in the later period from $17,752 in the earlier period and we incurred a non-cash expense of $465,838 on change in fair value of derivative as the result of the conversion of portions of convertible instruments into Common Stock. We also had a gain of $36,410 from the extinguishment of a debt.

10

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

Revenues 

We had no revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, and September 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses 

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $65,498, compared with $29,158 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. These expenses were higher during the later period primarily because of expenses, including legal and accounting expenses, associated with being a public company, and accrued salary.

Interest

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $383,343, compared with $42,869 for the period ended September 30, 2013. Of the interest expense for each period, $23,625 was for accrued interest and the remaining portion for non-cash items relating to the derivative accounting for the embedded conversion feature of our convertible debt.

Other Expenses

We also incurred a loss on the change in fair value of our derivative instrument relating to the conversion feature of our convertible debt, and a loss on extinguishment of debt due to the accounting treatment of the conversion of convertible debt with a cooresponding embedded conversion option accounted for as a derivative.

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $1,019,155 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, compared with $72,027 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. The principal reason for the increase in net loss was that while accrued interest on indebtedness was the same for both periods and amortization of imputed interest decreased from $30,494 in the earlier period to $7,148 in the later period, in the later period, we incurred a non-cash losses of $361,628 for interest expense, $488,864 for loss on change in fair value of derivative and $81,099 for loss on extinguishment of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $1,019,155 and our accumulated deficit at that date was $1,490,738. We had no cash available at that date. We financed our operations during this period through stockholder loans of $500 and a note for $40,000 from an unrelated party. During the nine-month period then ended, Mr. Oscar Brito, our president, earned $11,250 in salary from Urban Spaces. We were unable to pay this obligation and it has been accrued in our financial statements. We will be able to pay these obligations only from revenues from our operations and/or financing. Given our current financial condition and prospects, we can give no assurance as to whether or when we will be able to do so.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $43,382.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $40,500.

11

Cash Requirements

We believe that we will require approximately $3.1 million to fund our operations for the next 12 months, which we expect to meet as follows:

  • During the second quarter of 2013, GBS Real Estate Fund I, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“GBS Fund”), which is the developer of our Los Naranjos 320 Project, obtained financing of approximately $1 million from a Venezuelan bank, reducing the projected $2 million cost for this project by a like amount. During the second and third quarters of 2014, GBS Fund received additional bank financing commitments for $750,000, with funds to be disbursed as construction milestones are met. We believe that we will be able to meet the remaining construction costs for this project by presales of units.
  • Our total financing needs for our Las Naranjas 450 Project were approximately $2.2 million. Once we begin construction, we expect to obtain an initial construction loan of $1 million from the same bank that is currently financing the Las Naranjas 320 Project, with further financing of $850,000 as construction milestones are met. We expect to meet the remaining $350,000 of construction costs by presales of units.
  • In the third quarter of 2013, we sold our rights to four of the nine 9 condominium units in our Chacabuco Project that are to be transferred to us when their construction is complete for $360,000, of which $320,000 is outstanding. We believe that we will receive approximately $850,000 (including the outstanding $320,000) for all of the nine units, which is $100,000 more than the $750,000 that that we are obligated to pay for them. However, until all of these units are sold and the payments for them are collected, no assurance can be given as to the profit or loss that we will accrue.

Our ability to fund our operations as set forth above is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including our ability to obtain bank loans, to meet construction milestones, the prices at which we will be able to sell units and political and economic conditions in Venezuela and Argentina. Accordingly, we cannot assure that we will be able to fund our operations as described above.

To the extent that we do not receive funds as expected, we plan to fund our activities during the balance of 2014 and beyond through the sale of debt or equity securities and increased preconstruction sales of condominiums and/or deposits on condominium units sold after construction of a project commences but before these units are delivered. Our ability to obtain funding from pension funds in Argentina has been restricted by the recent nationalization of the largest Argentine pension funds. We believe that we will be able to obtain funding for our projects from private lenders, but can give no assurance that we will be successful in so doing or that such financing, if available, will be on acceptable terms.

In Latin American countries, the proceeds of preconstruction sales and deposits are not held in escrow pending closing, but may be used freely. Most commonly, we will make a preconstruction sale of one or a few penthouse or luxury condominiums in a project at a discount of 15%-25% from their list price. This discount approximates the rate of interest that we would pay for borrowed money in these countries. Such preconstruction sales and deposits are respectively expected to provide approximately 10% to 25% of a project’s costs. We believe that we will receive approximately $650,000 from preconstruction sales and deposits over the next 12 months.

On May 1, 2014, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Richard S. Astrom in the principal amount of $260,000. This promissory note was due on August 13, 2013, bore interest at the rate of 0.24% per annum and was secured by a Pledge Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2012, between the Company and Mr. Astrom, under which the Company pledged the shares of Urban Spaces to Mr. Astrom; the due date of that promissory note was extended to April 13, 2014, pursuant to a letter agreement between the Company and Mr. Astrom dated August 12, 2013. As the result of agreements under which that note was exchanged for other notes and adjustments due to conversions of the principal amount of these notes into Common Stock, Mr. Astrom now holds a Convertible Promissory Note, dated May 1, 2014, in the principal amount of $66,944.04, of which $64,102.37 was outstanding at September 30, 2014. This note is due May 1, 2015, and is unsecured. Under the agreement pursuant to which Mr. Astrom was issued the note, he is required to convert it into shares of Common Stock as quickly as practicable, provided that he is not required to comply with this requirement to the extent that such compliance would cause him to be the beneficial holder of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock at the time outstanding.

On April 13, 2012, one of our subsidiaries entered into an agreement under which it is acquiring the 9 condominium units in Argentina for $750,000. Payment was to be made in an installment of $350,000 on October 15, 2013, and an installment of $400,000 on October 15, 2014, based upon the promise of the seller to deliver them by May 31, 2013. The units have not yet been delivered and under an agreement with the seller, each of these due dates has been extended by the number of days after May 31, 2013, that they remain undelivered. Our interest in the subsidiary that is acquiring these units has been pledged to secure this obligation.

While we are not in default under the promissory note that we issued to Mr. Astrom, we do not presently have funds available to pay the note when due, but we believe that the indebtedness under the note will be extinguished by conversion by the time that it is due. While no default exists in the obligation of $750,000 for the 9 condominium units being purchased in Argentina or the related pledge, we do not presently have funds available to pay this obligation when required to do so. We expect to pay this obligation from the sale of the 9 condominium units. As noted above, the seller of these units is obligated to grant an extension because of delayed delivery of these units, but not in any other circumstance. In the event that we are unable to pay this obligation when required to do so, we intend to ask for an extension of the due date, but the seller is not obligated to do so. Further, the Company has no information as to whether or on what terms any such extension would be granted.

12

We can give no assurance that any of the funding described above will be available on acceptable terms, or available at all. If we are unable to raise funds in sufficient amount, when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly reduce, or discontinue, our operations. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or securities that are convertible into our equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2014. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date, at a reasonable level of assurance, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of September 30, 2014, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

13

A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted of an insufficiency of employees who have bookkeeping and accounting experience. This is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.

As we are not aware of any instance in which we failed to identify or resolve a disclosure matter or failed to perform a timely and effective review, we determined that the addition of personnel to our bookkeeping and accounting operations is not an efficient use of our very limited resources at this time and not in the interest of our stockholders.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
