The assets are located throughout Montenegro from the prime Adriatic Coastal areas via the rural Lake Skadar region to the ski resorts in the northern mountains. Investment Strategy Ultimate Montenegros primary focus has been to acquire, consolidate/package and re-zone land assets into scalable project pipelines for future real estate development. The ve key phases of the Land Value enhancement process are identied as follows: Acquisition of Raw Land (legal due diligence and ownership status). Re-Zone for Development. Master Plan Approval. Detailed Building Permit. Fund Exit. Different assets are at different stages of the zoning process, so the growth and development strategy of the business allows for a variety of acquisition/exit modes and structures to be considered and valued accordingly.

In general, Master Plan Approval for the majority of these zoned projects is anticipated within the next 1-12 months. Pre-Zoned Acquisition Opportunities Ultimate Montenegro has a substantial active land pipeline of pre-zoned acquisition opportunities with a total land area in excess of 1 million m 2 (representing a potential GDA of more than 250,000 m 2 of build).
A number of these assets will be re-zoned to achieve Development Status within the next 12 months.
In addition to this active pipeline, the portfolio has a signicant Land Bank. The Land Bank assets are generally characterised as being at the very early stages of the zoning process, within approval cycle of 1-3 years. Zoning Status Restoration Projects The Ultimate Portfolio also contains a unique valuable assembly of traditional stone buildings for restoration. Beyond the aesthetic attributes, the attractiveness of this asset class also relates to the embedded planning status and certain tax advantages. In addition to the planning status provided by the existing structure, the zoning status of a number of the projects allows for signicant additional (complimentary) build density on the sites. 7 Montenegro is a competitive and dynamic destination with the clear strategic objective of developing a sustainable tourism portfolio whilst protecting its dramatic and beautiful natural resources. The Virtuous Circle Sustainable Growth Since the adoption of the Euro currency in 2002 and the ensuing independence from Serbia in 2006, Montenegro has aggressively pursued its twin policy goals of: 1. EU membership projected for 2014 (SAA signed Oct 2007). 2. Tourism growth re-branding as a luxury leisure destination (by growth, Montenegro is already ranked in the top 5 tourist destinations globally). A virtuous circle is now in place, underpinned by a signicant programme of large scale infrastructure investment. The Development Landscape A Summary Macro Political and economic focus on the Tourism & Leisure sector. Stable macro-economy with strong budget stance and moderate public debt (S&P BB positive). Why Invest In Montenegro? Economic growth at 7-8% p.a., driven by Tourism demand (+15-20% p.a.). EU accession expected by 2014 (EU Funding & huge infrastructure upgrades). A massive EU funded infrastructure programme is already underway roads, airports, electricity, water. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) one of highest globally (per capita) Middle East & Russia most active current investors. A very favourable tax regime (Corp tax at 9%). Very low local exposure to the global credit crunch mortgages as % GDP at 2.2% (SEE av. 9.4%; EU av. 50%). Micro Re-branding as a luxury destination (Porto Montenegro, Four Seasons, Aman). Creation of development clusters as the key driver of the luxury growth model. Conservative zoning & planning framework, limiting overdevelopment. Structural advantage of a natural landscape that physically restricts the supply. Current market is characterised by strong demand but low supply of high-end product, creating potential investment opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns. Virtuous Circle MONTENEGRO Left: Budva Old Town. 9 EU ACCESSION FUNDS INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES & DEVELOPMENT STABLE DEMOCRACY SUSTAINABLE ABOVE- AVERAGE GROWTH (with Euro currency and low taxes) Coastal Portfolio 12 Views of the coastline of Montenegro. Coastal Portfolio 13 The Coastal Projects Portfolio comprises a diverse number of prime development zone locations along the length of the Adriatic Riviera from Lustica via Kotor Bay to Budva and beyond. The Portfolio is well positioned to take full advantage of the selective Tourism Development Strategy that Montenegro is actively pursuing. The most signicant of the developments is Porto Montenegro (in association with the Four Seasons Group), the largest luxury/mega yacht marina on the eastern Mediterranean with over 700 berths. As a consequence of the diverse coastal locations, together with the specic zoning characteristics of each site, the Coastal Projects Portfolio provides exposure to the full spectrum of market segments. The Portfolio is also positioned to benet from the inevitable value-migration from the coastal frontline to the coastal hinterland (as witnessed along the South of France and Spain for example). The sites range from 1,000 m 2 to over 200,000 m 2 . The Zoning and Master Plan Approval timelines also vary according to location, within a typical cycle of 3 months to 2 years. In general, the majority of the Ultimate Coastal sites are already zoned for development and are at an advanced stage of the Master Plan Approval process. Oak Village A signicant standalone restaurant will be developed in the largest of the village ruins. It is envisaged that the local community will become integrated with this regeneration process, providing fresh vegetable produce, traditional home-made cheeses, smoked hams, wines and the local grappa. Design & Construction The nature of the sloping site will result in a development which sits naturally within the landscape, giving the overall appearance of a traditional Mediterranean hillside village. Together with the use of traditional materials and characteristic architectural language, the rural authenticity and heritage of the development area will be maintained. Project Description Oak Village is one of the largest and most dramatic development projects on the coast of Montenegro. Set high on the terraced slopes of a mountainous valley overlooking the Adriatic Coast, the Oak Village development site is a naturally framed amphitheatre. The natural topography is such that every part of the site provides exceptionally beautiful views towards the open sea, the famous Jaz beach and surrounding Lovcen mountains. The design of the site is inspired by the presence of a unique rural Montenegrin stone village (Zecevo Selo) perched high on the valley slopes. This picturesque authentic village will be restored to create a retail hub for the development, with a concentration of cafs, bars and shops. Total Land Area 213,540 m Gross Development Area 92,307 m

Much of the construction will be concentrated in these areas. The gradient of the slopes is between 16-35 degrees, but mostly below 20 degrees. The slope of the terrain allows for three storey buildings, with open views to all. The residential development will take the form of village clusters around communal pools and terraces. Infrastructure & Transport Access The site is approximately a 10 km drive from the coast via the existing 3/4 lane Adriatic Highway, however 2 km as the crow ies. To facilitate the proper functioning of the new development, new local access roads will connect all parts of the site with the existing road and wider area. Electric and telco cable networks serve the area. The site is located near to the central electricity hub which services the entire coastline. Although the immediate district is not currently connected to mains water and waste, as part of the urbanization program of this designated zone, the local Municipality (Budva) is obliged to provide the necessary services and infrastructure appropriate to anticipated future demand. The development site is supplied by numerous natural water sources. The regulation of the water supply will be facilitated by capturing the natural water at source and storing in strategic reservoirs above the development. 15 Oceans Edge - Rezevici Development Concepts A luxury apartment complex offering 44 apartments and one villa with a communal gym, three pools and a pool bar. Project Location Oceans Edge, Rezevici is one of the most desirable locations in Montenegro. Sitting proudly on the Budva Riviera, 2km from Petrovac, Oceans Edge has outstanding views out across the Adriatic and the coast of Montenegro. Tivat Airport is only 25 km from Rezevici and the lively town of Budva is 15 mins drive. This exceptional site, perched on a cliff edge with dramatic coastal views, sits on gently slopping open grassland and provides the ideal location for an exclusive apartment development. Project Description The planning concept is to create a luxury apartment complex and one two storey villa. The site is situated immediately off the main coastal highway and is perfectly orientated towards the South-West, providing sun, spectacular sea views and dramatic sunsets.

Lush valleys with beautiful scenery house olive groves and vineyards, which are a recurrent theme.
This area of Montenegro, which is only a 20 minute drive from the Adriatic, is equidistant from the coast, Lake Skadar and Podgorica the capital; as a result of this, we expect to see signicant growth in this region in the coming years. We have packaged a portfolio of land and restorable properties in a number of charming villages that stretch the full length of this valley. Rural Portfolio 21 Church Valley Church Valley is a rural location in Glavati although only a 10 minute drive to the Adriatic coast and its beaches. It sits in the middle of existing farmland with old stone houses and indigenous ora. This property is so called as it is in the unique position of being surrounded by ve churches. The ruin site is easily accessible from Budva and Tivat airport and is a 5 minute drive from Jaz beach which has played host to international concerts. The area is a traditional farming community and the village is designated as a protected zone by the heritage department of Kotor Municipality. Site Description The site is rectangular and gently slopes towards the North-West. On the upper part of the site there are three ruins. One is the main building with an ancillary building adjacent to it. The ground oor, external stone walls, and staircase of the main building have been preserved. The ancillary building is the best preserved with original Mediterranean roof tiles and the footprint of the third building has also been preserved; this was previously the farm building. The original village guvno still remains on the site. This is a stone built circular structure used for threshing grains and also was the meeting point for the village. The lower part of the site is almost a at meadow surrounded with trees and shrubs. The intention is to preserve as much as possible of existing site layout. 22 Artists impression of the Church Valley development.

It is proposed to build two houses, one larger luxury villa and one smaller guest house on this site. The existing circular stone structure guvno is well preserved and can be renovated as an arbour or gazebo. On the lower part of the site (the meadow) a large swimming pool with an arbour as a landscape feature and shaded area is proposed. The access to the site is from the existing road on the South-East side with a new, stone-built arched gate. There will be four car parking spaces with direct access to the road. The two storey villa is constructed on the footprint of the existing main and ancillary buildings, connected together to make one house. There will be a newly designed spacious ground oor, and formal living room. The main view faces the North-Westerly direction with views of the meadow and swimming pool. In front of the villa is a large open terrace and formal garden. On the South-East side, one could plant a good sized winter garden. The two storey guest house is a smaller 3 bedroomed building, adjacent to the house with a lovely large open terrace and formal garden. It has been proposed that most of the existing landscape will be preserved, with added indigenous trees, shrubs and ower beds. Both buildings will be built as stone houses with duo pitched roofs and Mediterranean (Roman) tiles in the traditional, authentic style of the area. Infrastructure & Transport Access A newly built road and pathway connect the site to the main road. Electrical and phone/internet/cable is available. There is currently no sewage connection. There is no mains water. A water supply will have to be pumped into home from rain water storage tank. 23 First Floor Ground Floor Vineyard Estate The Vineyard Estate is situated in the rural valley between Cetinje town and Skadar Lake. The proposed development looks to regenerate existing vineyards of this lush and plentiful area and make a luxury village with spa, swimming and tennis facilities. Project Description This rural location is surrounded by hills and orientated longitudinally North-South with open views to the mountains. The design of the site is inspired by traditional Montenegrin stone village houses, typical of this region. The Vineyard Estate concept is based on similar developments in Italy, France and South Africa, where vineyards are utilised for the Tourism and Hospitality industry. Design and Construction The site is divided into three areas. A country club hub with Spa and recreation facilities, a boutique hotel with high-end restaurant and a residential development. The residential development will have access to swimming and tennis facilities. The bulk of the development will be characterised by luxury villas nestled between the vineyards. This is part of regeneration project for vineyards which are disappearing in this valley. As it is an integral part of this development, the vineyards and winery will serve the guests of the Vineyard Estate. 24 Total Land Area 265,679 m Gross Development Area 19,680 m Section Elevation Vineyard Estate Podgorica Budva Kotor Skadar Lake B ijela

Environmental and Sustainable Development The development density of the site has been set to 20%. This policy reects a strategic aim to minimize ecological impact and allow for sustainable development.
The proposed development is set within well established woodland, orchard and vineyards. Given this rural setting, it is imperative to retain as much of the existing landscape, native trees and bio-diversity as possible. Much of the existing woodland can be retained as a screen to the North and East. The existing vineyard will be revitalized due to its important local signicance. 25 Site Plan Artists Impression Mountain Portfolio 28 Left: Tara River. Above: Mountain Views. Mountain Portfolio 29 The terrain of Northern Montenegro is mountainous and the municipalities of Zabljak and Kolasin are considered to be the centres for Montenegros winter tourism. Snow fall is heavy here in the winter months but in summer the weather is glorious and these regions are perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors with challenging hiking and mountain-biking trails. The North of Montenegro also boasts the second largest canyon in the world. Montenegro is in the process of re-developing and expanding its two principal mountain resorts, Zabljak and Kolasin, which ank both sides of the countrys northern region. Ski facilities are operational in both resorts, in particular Zabljak (the highest town in the Balkans). Access to both destinations will be greatly enhanced by new major road networks that are currently being built, providing direct, high speed connections with the coast and main airports. This infrastructure programme is the catalyst for rapid development and growth of these mountain regions. Ultimate Montenegro has signicant land holdings in both regions. The new road network will also open up other beautiful areas of the Wild Montenegro interior, such as the Savnik Canyon (an Ultimate Montenegro asset). Above: Durmator Mountains.

Infrastructure & Transport Access Access to the site is gained from an existing road along the northern edge of the site. New paved vehicular routes feed off this existing arterial into the development. The new roads culminate in private driveways for each residential unit and outdoor parking courts and basement parking for the Hotel and Spa. The development site is supplied by numerous natural water sources. The regulation of the water supply will be facilitated by capturing the natural water at source and storing it in strategic reservoirs above the development. To maintain the availability of sufcient potable water, a rainwater harvesting system will be used for grey water systems, maintenance of swimming pools and landscape irrigation. Environmental & Sustainable Development The proposed development is set within a well established wooded valley. It is imperative, within this setting, to retain as much of the existing landscape, trees and bio-diversity as possible. Minimal cutting of trees is foreseen, with the luxury villas positioned where possible around existing trees. The development density of the site has been limited to 19%, which reects the aim to minimise ecological impact. Furthermore, the introduction of planted roofs over the terrace houses and hotel building will substantially reduce the built impact of the development on the site, with green roofs covering more than half the development on the site.
