Summary
 The location of Thermae Hortus Croatie is property of the company AAT d.o.o., that is
 owned by the Hosting group and their financial partners. The property is situated in the
 Medjimurje region, in Northwest of Croatia, in the Municipality Prelog and the
 Draskovec settlement, in vicinity of the highway Zagreb-Varazdin-Budapest.
 In this phase of development the project contains 48,1 ha of land.
 The land plot that is included in the property of the company AAT d.o.o. already in this
 condition is planed in the Urban Plan of the Municipality Prelog for developing and
 construction of tourist objects („T1“ and „T2“) only the Detail urban Plan has to be
 adopted (which decision has already been brought by the Municipality)
 In the County Urban plan the site is planned for tourism development, also in the
 Municipality plans. At the moment we are in the process of drafting the Detail Urban
 Plan for the site (for the 1st zone of approx. 300.000 m2, where the hotels, Water &
 Wellness park and recreation is planned) after which we can obtain building permit. For
 the rest we are in the process of defining the final conceptual design as basis for the
 Detail Urban Plan. So this year (but very soon) is still the right time for interested
 investor to come in and influence the planning, which adoption is highly supported by
 the County and Municipality leaders.
The planned maximum allowed gross floor area is going to be adopted mainly to our
needs. What we have planned in the area, which is already in ownership of the AAT
d.o.o. company (481.000 m2) and was approved by the urban planners and Municipality
is 200.000 m2 of Gross Floor Area in total, which is very conservatively planned and
ensures very high quality of space and ambiance (a lot of gardens, green areas, golf
course, etc.) and we can still expand it (on account of the more Villas and Apartments) if
investor wants higher density.
The site contains a thermal water well Draskovec-1 (750C – from 10 to 30 litre per
second) which is also a Methane gas well and a research well for drinking water well
Draskovec (80C – from 10 to 20 litre per second). Due to very big, practically
unmeasurable volume of water-bearing collector, and its relatively high
permeability, it can be expected that water pumping out of it, in the quantities
permitted by its collector's properties and a capacity of uncovered interval, cannot
decrease a richness of the layer during a longer period of pumping.
The whole TERME HORTUS CROATIAE complex is envisioned as a ORGANICALLY
STRUCTURED ETHNO-PARK VILLAGE IN A EXCEPTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE
HORTICULTURAL PARK WITH WATER SURFACES, resonating natural warmth, ethno
atmosphere, hospitality, tradition and natural environment at a 4+* quality level.
The Investment Project is a combination of Tourist operation and Real Estate
investment, since all the 240 Villas and Apartments are foreseen to be sold on the
real estate market to the final buyers after construction (but agreed for the
management and operation back to the main operation company of the Resort)
The total investment (all phases) is estimated to approx. 141,5 mil EUR
The income from sale of the villas and apartments is estimated to at least 50 mil EUR
Yearly income of the resort in the phase of operation is planned to reach at least 23
mil EUR
The investment project can be expected to be subsidized by EU regional funds (in
amount from 20 to 40 % of the total investment excluding villas and apartments
= approx 20 – 30 mil EUR subsidy) after Croatia joining EU, until when all
documentation and project designs and building permits can be ready (2011-2012)
The energy value of the thermal water wells and potential of the drinking water well
are representing the surplus to the above mentioned economic and financial
estimates
The owners of the AAT d.o.o. are ready to sell the majority share (up to 100%) in
AAT d.o.o. to the potential interested investor(s) and remain in professional support
for the realization of the investment project.
Real estate prices in Croatia
At this moment (according to the Croatian real estate statistical
analysis for year 2007) average price for building land in Croatia is €105/m2.
         In capital city of Zagreb the average price is €272/m2,
         On the coast €163/m2,
         And in the rest of Croatia €60/m2.

Draskovec location is only 100 km from Zagreb, connected by the high
quality highway. It takes about 45 min of driving to cover the distance.

     A small city of Samobor, (located about 27 km from Zagreb, with driving time
     of about 35 minutes) has already achieved (for better located building land)
     a price of €270/m2.
     In surroundings of Cakovec and Varazdin (the cities distant only 10-20 min
     drive away from the location of the Project) the prices for the building land
     have reached from €30 to €50 per m2.
     In 2-3 years time an attractive location in Prelog will be considered
     convenient for living even for the people working in Zagreb and the
     attraction of the leisure and recreational facilities planned within the project,
     will make it attractive for second and holidays home. The price of land will
     grow up and shall come close to those in vicinity of Zagreb and Samobor.
Business offer
  Purchase of 100% share in commercial company AAT
  d.o.o.(ltd.) – including 48,1 ha of land parcels
  urbanized for tourism & real estate development and
  water & gas wells
     Price of 100% share: 12.500.000 EUR (in present status of the
     Project, owing the wells and 481.000 m2 of land)
     This price is agreed if Hosting is engaged in local management and
     engineering of the investment project for price of 1,5 mil EUR (that is
     paid in three installments of 0,5 mil EUR in three years)

  Hosting engaged as local project management and
  engineering is performing all technical and professional as
  well as legal activities of the Project development with
  guidelines, objectives and approval of the main Investor
Offered share price of AAT
d.o.o.(ltd.) calculation
  4.500.000 EUR – Thermal & Gas Well
  and drinking water well infrastructure and
  energy and water potential value
  16,63 EUR/m2 (x 481.000 m2) =
  8.000.000 EUR – price of land urbanized
  in County and Municipality urban plans
  for tourism & real estate development
  X 100% = 12.500.000 EUR
The development of the project
could be divided into 3 phases

   1st phase: €12,5 m – acquisition of land and
   completing resorts plans and drawings until
   adoption of detail urban plan
   2nd phase: €4-6 m – drafting main project
   design, obtaining building permits, and
   completing documentation for application to EU
   regional fund for subsidy up to €20m of the
   total investment.
   3rd phase: €123 m - €125 m – building the
   whole resort to the final phase
   Estimated total final planned investment is €
   141,5 m.
Methods of recovering the
investment
 The investment can be recovered by:

     Selling the land or shares in the company after
     the first or second phase (before the third
     phase) of development and/or
     Building and selling homes and/or
     Building and operating the hotel(s) and water
     park facilities and/or
     Building and selling the hotel(s) and water park
     facilities
Foreseen price of the Project after
the first stage development
 Foreseen activities to be developed in first phase
 in next one year time
    Final conceptual design of the entire project
    Additional acquisition of the leased land for golf resort
    (approx. 40 ha in long term lease)
    Adoption of Detail Urban Plan by Municipality

 Foreseen price of the Project after first phase
 development:
   40 EUR/m2 x 481.000 EUR = 19.240.000 EUR
   Thermal and drinking water wells value: 4.500.000 EUR
   TOTAL VALUE: 23.740.000 EUR
Foreseen price of the Project after
the second stage development


   The investment project can, of course, be
   developed, by investing additional €4 m - €6 m,
   to the second phase by drafting the main
   project design and obtaining building permits
   and on that basis acquire the EU regional
   fund subsidy (of approx. €20 m). In that case
   the sales price of shares in the company would
   be at least €10 m higher (meaning in total at
   least €33 m) and financial results of the
   investment even much better.
Foreseen price of the Project
after construction of the Project
If the investor decides to construct the Project, sell villas and
apartments (estimation 54.120.000 EUR), and afterwards
sell the whole resort (Draškovec castle, hotel, water park)
the expected selling price would amount 173.834.457 EUR
(in total with apartments and villas that amount would be
227.954.457 EURO). The profit from the Project would
amount 86.356.741 EUR.

If we take into consideration irretrievable funds from regional
funds of EU in the amount of 20-40% of total investment (not
including villas and apartments which are meant for sale)
meaning 20-30 m EUR of irretrievable funds for tourism
development, the profit from the Project could be even
higher.
Why people would choose Draskovec for
buying a house for home or second home?

There are no real estate developments in that area that would built houses in a large
area according to a master plan which would protect the landscape and environment.
In the project all houses shall be built in the same style in carefully planned order.

In addition the area will have recreational facilities, like parks, indoor and outdoor
pools, playground, golf and alike, hotel with health, fitness and SPA facilities all
close to the river and the lake with facilities for fishing, hunting, canoeing, horseback
riding, boating, hiking and bicycling in the nature etc.

Such an oasis would not doubt attract people from Zagreb (1 m inhabitants) and
nearby towns like Varazdin (70.000 inhabitancies) and Cakovec (50.000 inhabitants),
which are very romantic baroque towns rich in cultural heritage, to buy homes and
settle in such an ambiance.

It will attract people from urban centres of Slovenia, Austria, Northern Italy, south
Germany and Hungary to buy second home as the retreat from the stress of city life.
Why people would choose Draskovec for
buying a house for home or second home?

On the other hand strategic investors from wider region will be interested
to build a hotel(s), apartment and villa complex and large water &
wellness leisure park based on health and SPA concept integrated in the
nature and adventure offer. This is why the thermal water is important.
The thermal water spring attracts the hoteliers and water &wellness park
operators and motivate them to invest in the land owned by the resort.

SPA holidays and short breaks throughout the year are very popular in
this part of the world and the demand for them is steadily and
continuously growing. The planned resort is following market trends in
development of the retreat resorts by combining popular sports like
hunting (lot of Italians are coming to Croatia for hunting), fishing, golf,
cycling, horseback riding, hiking, etc. with spending time in the nature.
However, it would have its unique competitive edge due to the location,
proximity of the lake and river and uniquely designed tourist product.

  • 48. Summary The location of Thermae Hortus Croatie is property of the company AAT d.o.o., that is owned by the Hosting group and their financial partners. The property is situated in the Medjimurje region, in Northwest of Croatia, in the Municipality Prelog and the Draskovec settlement, in vicinity of the highway Zagreb-Varazdin-Budapest. In this phase of development the project contains 48,1 ha of land. The land plot that is included in the property of the company AAT d.o.o. already in this condition is planed in the Urban Plan of the Municipality Prelog for developing and construction of tourist objects („T1“ and „T2“) only the Detail urban Plan has to be adopted (which decision has already been brought by the Municipality) In the County Urban plan the site is planned for tourism development, also in the Municipality plans. At the moment we are in the process of drafting the Detail Urban Plan for the site (for the 1st zone of approx. 300.000 m2, where the hotels, Water & Wellness park and recreation is planned) after which we can obtain building permit. For the rest we are in the process of defining the final conceptual design as basis for the Detail Urban Plan. So this year (but very soon) is still the right time for interested investor to come in and influence the planning, which adoption is highly supported by the County and Municipality leaders.
  • 49. The planned maximum allowed gross floor area is going to be adopted mainly to our needs. What we have planned in the area, which is already in ownership of the AAT d.o.o. company (481.000 m2) and was approved by the urban planners and Municipality is 200.000 m2 of Gross Floor Area in total, which is very conservatively planned and ensures very high quality of space and ambiance (a lot of gardens, green areas, golf course, etc.) and we can still expand it (on account of the more Villas and Apartments) if investor wants higher density. The site contains a thermal water well Draskovec-1 (750C – from 10 to 30 litre per second) which is also a Methane gas well and a research well for drinking water well Draskovec (80C – from 10 to 20 litre per second). Due to very big, practically unmeasurable volume of water-bearing collector, and its relatively high permeability, it can be expected that water pumping out of it, in the quantities permitted by its collector's properties and a capacity of uncovered interval, cannot decrease a richness of the layer during a longer period of pumping. The whole TERME HORTUS CROATIAE complex is envisioned as a ORGANICALLY STRUCTURED ETHNO-PARK VILLAGE IN A EXCEPTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE HORTICULTURAL PARK WITH WATER SURFACES, resonating natural warmth, ethno atmosphere, hospitality, tradition and natural environment at a 4+* quality level.
  • 50. The Investment Project is a combination of Tourist operation and Real Estate investment, since all the 240 Villas and Apartments are foreseen to be sold on the real estate market to the final buyers after construction (but agreed for the management and operation back to the main operation company of the Resort) The total investment (all phases) is estimated to approx. 141,5 mil EUR The income from sale of the villas and apartments is estimated to at least 50 mil EUR Yearly income of the resort in the phase of operation is planned to reach at least 23 mil EUR The investment project can be expected to be subsidized by EU regional funds (in amount from 20 to 40 % of the total investment excluding villas and apartments = approx 20 – 30 mil EUR subsidy) after Croatia joining EU, until when all documentation and project designs and building permits can be ready (2011-2012) The energy value of the thermal water wells and potential of the drinking water well are representing the surplus to the above mentioned economic and financial estimates The owners of the AAT d.o.o. are ready to sell the majority share (up to 100%) in AAT d.o.o. to the potential interested investor(s) and remain in professional support for the realization of the investment project.
  • 51. Real estate prices in Croatia At this moment (according to the Croatian real estate statistical analysis for year 2007) average price for building land in Croatia is €105/m2. In capital city of Zagreb the average price is €272/m2, On the coast €163/m2, And in the rest of Croatia €60/m2. Draskovec location is only 100 km from Zagreb, connected by the high quality highway. It takes about 45 min of driving to cover the distance. A small city of Samobor, (located about 27 km from Zagreb, with driving time of about 35 minutes) has already achieved (for better located building land) a price of €270/m2. In surroundings of Cakovec and Varazdin (the cities distant only 10-20 min drive away from the location of the Project) the prices for the building land have reached from €30 to €50 per m2. In 2-3 years time an attractive location in Prelog will be considered convenient for living even for the people working in Zagreb and the attraction of the leisure and recreational facilities planned within the project, will make it attractive for second and holidays home. The price of land will grow up and shall come close to those in vicinity of Zagreb and Samobor.
  • 52. Business offer Purchase of 100% share in commercial company AAT d.o.o.(ltd.) – including 48,1 ha of land parcels urbanized for tourism & real estate development and water & gas wells Price of 100% share: 12.500.000 EUR (in present status of the Project, owing the wells and 481.000 m2 of land) This price is agreed if Hosting is engaged in local management and engineering of the investment project for price of 1,5 mil EUR (that is paid in three installments of 0,5 mil EUR in three years) Hosting engaged as local project management and engineering is performing all technical and professional as well as legal activities of the Project development with guidelines, objectives and approval of the main Investor
  • 53. Offered share price of AAT d.o.o.(ltd.) calculation 4.500.000 EUR – Thermal & Gas Well and drinking water well infrastructure and energy and water potential value 16,63 EUR/m2 (x 481.000 m2) = 8.000.000 EUR – price of land urbanized in County and Municipality urban plans for tourism & real estate development X 100% = 12.500.000 EUR
  • 54. The development of the project could be divided into 3 phases 1st phase: €12,5 m – acquisition of land and completing resorts plans and drawings until adoption of detail urban plan 2nd phase: €4-6 m – drafting main project design, obtaining building permits, and completing documentation for application to EU regional fund for subsidy up to €20m of the total investment. 3rd phase: €123 m - €125 m – building the whole resort to the final phase Estimated total final planned investment is € 141,5 m.
  • 55. Methods of recovering the investment The investment can be recovered by: Selling the land or shares in the company after the first or second phase (before the third phase) of development and/or Building and selling homes and/or Building and operating the hotel(s) and water park facilities and/or Building and selling the hotel(s) and water park facilities
  • 56. Foreseen price of the Project after the first stage development Foreseen activities to be developed in first phase in next one year time Final conceptual design of the entire project Additional acquisition of the leased land for golf resort (approx. 40 ha in long term lease) Adoption of Detail Urban Plan by Municipality Foreseen price of the Project after first phase development: 40 EUR/m2 x 481.000 EUR = 19.240.000 EUR Thermal and drinking water wells value: 4.500.000 EUR TOTAL VALUE: 23.740.000 EUR
  • 57. Foreseen price of the Project after the second stage development The investment project can, of course, be developed, by investing additional €4 m - €6 m, to the second phase by drafting the main project design and obtaining building permits and on that basis acquire the EU regional fund subsidy (of approx. €20 m). In that case the sales price of shares in the company would be at least €10 m higher (meaning in total at least €33 m) and financial results of the investment even much better.
  • 58. Foreseen price of the Project after construction of the Project If the investor decides to construct the Project, sell villas and apartments (estimation 54.120.000 EUR), and afterwards sell the whole resort (Draškovec castle, hotel, water park) the expected selling price would amount 173.834.457 EUR (in total with apartments and villas that amount would be 227.954.457 EURO). The profit from the Project would amount 86.356.741 EUR. If we take into consideration irretrievable funds from regional funds of EU in the amount of 20-40% of total investment (not including villas and apartments which are meant for sale) meaning 20-30 m EUR of irretrievable funds for tourism development, the profit from the Project could be even higher.
  • 59. Why people would choose Draskovec for buying a house for home or second home? There are no real estate developments in that area that would built houses in a large area according to a master plan which would protect the landscape and environment. In the project all houses shall be built in the same style in carefully planned order. In addition the area will have recreational facilities, like parks, indoor and outdoor pools, playground, golf and alike, hotel with health, fitness and SPA facilities all close to the river and the lake with facilities for fishing, hunting, canoeing, horseback riding, boating, hiking and bicycling in the nature etc. Such an oasis would not doubt attract people from Zagreb (1 m inhabitants) and nearby towns like Varazdin (70.000 inhabitancies) and Cakovec (50.000 inhabitants), which are very romantic baroque towns rich in cultural heritage, to buy homes and settle in such an ambiance. It will attract people from urban centres of Slovenia, Austria, Northern Italy, south Germany and Hungary to buy second home as the retreat from the stress of city life.
  • 60. Why people would choose Draskovec for buying a house for home or second home? On the other hand strategic investors from wider region will be interested to build a hotel(s), apartment and villa complex and large water & wellness leisure park based on health and SPA concept integrated in the nature and adventure offer. This is why the thermal water is important. The thermal water spring attracts the hoteliers and water &wellness park operators and motivate them to invest in the land owned by the resort. SPA holidays and short breaks throughout the year are very popular in this part of the world and the demand for them is steadily and continuously growing. The planned resort is following market trends in development of the retreat resorts by combining popular sports like hunting (lot of Italians are coming to Croatia for hunting), fishing, golf, cycling, horseback riding, hiking, etc. with spending time in the nature. However, it would have its unique competitive edge due to the location, proximity of the lake and river and uniquely designed tourist product.
