BIOS of Development Team:

Joel W. Smith ~ CEO

The co-founder of Monte Cristo Resorts International with his son, Randall Smith.
Joel Smith has over thirty years experience as a real estate broker and
developer. He has built and managed properties both large and small from a
single tenant to hundreds of tenants in a corporate real estate development. He
has retired from the management of these properties so he can manage the
development of Monte Cristo Resorts International. He has several international
real estate deals completed in Europe and in the Caribbean basin. He has
extensive construction work experience in Europe and Germany going back all
the way to his days in the Corp of Engineers in the US Army. He has built office
buildings, single homes, strip centers and automotive construction facilities. He
has constantly emphasized new technological construction techniques. The
Reward Walls construction technique along with high end solar technology will be
the biggest high end project to date he has managed. Building in a resort location
it is important to keep the natural surroundings intact as much as possible. This
with the in depth suggestions of Adele Santos, the head of architecture from MIT
will allow him to build the most sophisticated solar powered resort on the face of
the earth. He has begun work on the placement now of 100,000 square feet of
silicone cells on the resort property that will create significant shading and power
supply at the same time.

Randall Smith ~ President

The co- founder of Monte Cristo Resorts International with his father Joel W.
Smith, Randall Smith has a degree in Business from Samford University and a
Masters Degree in Project Management and Alternative Fuel Technologies from
Villanova. He has been involved with his father with construction technology and
communications and alternative energy technologies. He specializes in Solar
Power as it relates to Project management. This will be the third such project he
has developed with the first two being cellular telephone coverage and band with
projections for two way communications. These markets were in Cheyenne,
Wyoming and Northeast Oklahoma. He was awarded the Brava-Zulu award from
Federal Express for reorganizing the delivery and pick up routes for Federal
Express in the Birmingham, Alabama MSA. This project saved over 2000 man
hours and over 1.3 million dollars in work dollars due to more efficient use of man
power. He is managing the coordination of sales then into construction with the
efficient use of resources for the Monte Cristo Resort project. His father will
manage the cash flow expenditures for the construction side as it relates to the
sales quotas. He will primarily drive sales then coordinate construction and
management issues as the resort comes out of the ground into a daily managed
facility.

John Winklemann ~ Executive Vice President (Sales)

John is on our staff and is a former regional sales director/VP for Federal

Page 1 of 7
Express. He will implement the sales systems and referral networks to increase
our monthly sales. He is in Memphis, Tennessee. He has written books and
trained the sales force for Federal Express Airlines. He will institute a process
that all our customers will go through. It will be the standard for buying either a
1/8th fractional all the way to whole ownership. John also has a working
relationship with Reward Walls and their resort and beach related construction
techniques. The sales process he has envisioned will include a fly and buy
program to bring the possible clients to us after they have been pre qualified by
N5R and Resort Owners Group. The fly and buy will include our hostess/ fitness
models giving them a tour of the location, the sales office, the entire island and
transportation and airline facilities. They will be entertained with a beach party at
the construction site on the beach. Their trip will end with a purchase contract in
most cases. John has done research that indicates 120 couples will participate in
the fly and buys on a monthly basis. The close rate varies from 25% up to 30% in
current economic and market conditions. This will equate to 30-35 sales per
month. This generates 1.5- 1.75 million dollars in sales per month and will sell
the resort out inside 30 months. The first six months 9 million will be collected.
The second six months the number jumps to 18 million. The third six months the
number hits 27 million. One more six month rate of sales that equals 30 a month
and the resort is sold out in 36 months total. After the first 18 months you will see
27 million in collected sales dollars every six months.

Steve Nicholson ~ Real Estate Development

Steve will serve as the Sales Director for the Cozumel office. He will be primarily
a local asset due to him living there for the past eight years. Steve has spent ten
years in Playa del Carmen, Mexico selling land assets and tracts all over the
Yucatan peninsula. With Steve living there, he gives us a unique advantage due
to having local banking (Scotia Bank), legal and architectural and real estate
assets already in place which are trusted and have shown to be trustworthy over
the past ten years. Steve will recommend and help hire five or six local sales
agents who will work coherently with Gary Carter and Resort Owners Group to
develop our sales team. Steve will also help place the workforce for the day to
day operations and running of the hotel , concierge and hospitality side of the
business including the spa and gym areas. Steve’s greatest value to the project
is his vast amount of knowledge regarding resources, assets and people in the
local area we will draw from to help facilitate the building of the resort.

company hired to build the resort. He has twenty years experience in building

Roman Brodcharuk ~ N5R Marketing

Has sold over 5 billion dollars of resort real estate properties in the past 60
months.N5R has done this in ten different countries on ten separate projects in
the past decade He will provide us with a 600 page marketing plan that will
generate 6000 calls monthly to pre qualified selected prospects. Out of that 6000
only 10% (600) we will actually speak with. Out of that 600 only 30% will have
enough interest to come take a look at Cozumel (180). We will do a fly and buy
program with these prospects. They will fly into Cozumel and spend 2 days
looking at the property and the surrounding amenities. It will cost $2500 per
couple X 180 = $450,000.00. Now we will close 25% of these prospects or 45
sales. Those 45 sales total $6,150,000.00 in monthly sales. That's a 13.6 times
return on investment monthly Current worldwide economic conditions have seen
a 20% drop in his sales efforts but factoring that in would still give Monte Cristo
36 sales per month which is 6 more than in the monthly projections of our
spreadsheets.

Gary Carter ~ Resort Owners Group

Gary Carter is the founder and president of Resort Owners Group he has agreed
to be the principal sales group for Monte Cristo Resorts International. Media
continues to pour in that Fractional Ownership is the one area of the resort
industry that is growing in popularity.

The following is a short chronology on how ROG has developed North America's
most affordable & most flexible Resort Home ownership model...

The ROG Model!!!

1...Beta Test:
ROG’s Founder sold 8 owners using The ROG Fractional Model on a golf course
in Scottsdale, Arizona...prior to 2008. ROG's fractional model solved all of the
hurdles/issues that Timeshare and Whole Ownership had experienced.

2...Test Phase:
After months of creative and development, the ROG’s Founder sold 144
fractional interests at the 3,000 acre "Award Winning" PGA Village (Port St.
Lucie) Florida project, using The ROG Fractional Model...with no real website, no
marketing tools and none of the current alliances or partnerships...sold prior to
2008. The benefits of the fractional model were so compelling that many buyers
purchased all of the fractions (whole ownership with their friends and family).
ROG currently manages and rents out those homes in Florida on behalf of the
Canadian buyers.

3...Alliance Building Phase in 2008:


With a rapidly declining real estate market throughout North America, ROG
decided to focus less on short term sales, ROG recognized the opportunity
choosing to evolve The ROG Model into a Global Fractional Ownership Platform
so it could be licensed to developers. ROG's business plan was to license the
platform to high quality independent developers while continuing to enhance The
ROG Model for consumers and small business owners. Several new features,
exceptional benefits and creative whole ownership options were added to The
ROG Model (See-ROG Buyers Guide). ROG began signing National and
International alliances in 2008 with value added Resort Home partners that could
see the potential to turn The ROG Model into the industry leading Fractional and
Whole Ownership model. Having "Best of Breed" alliances would strengthen the
platform's legal structures and sales channels for developers while consumers
would benefit from the enhanced usage & exchange benefits, rental income
potential and asset management features. The new features and alliances
helped to align ROG's interests with developers and attracted top sales teams
wanting to sell locations that were using The ROG Model.

Unlike any other fractional platform in North America, ROG has added alliances
that included the CPGA across Canada (Lead gen and rental alliance),
Intrawest's R2R (Exchanges), GROUP RCI (Global leader (4M customers) in
Page 5 of 7
Exchange and Developer Leads, signed a long term alliance to market The ROG
Model), Leisure Link (Leading rental portal alliance signed), N5R (Lead gen and
marketing alliance), Holland & Knight (National leading legal firm with over 24
offices), HiFX (Forex savings and lead gen alliance). Several new value added
partnerships are currently pending. Late in 2008, ROG evolved The ROG Model
once again, creating the BEST of whole and the BEST of fractional
ownership...ROG registered the BuyWithFriends option...and secured
BuyWithFriends.com...BWF is whole ownership, owned fractionally, where the
owners socially network their Resort Home and own the entire home fractionally
with people they know and like. Buying whole can save hundreds of thousands of
dollars over the equivalent fractional price while still owning fractionally.

ROG's CEO spoke at three National Developer Conferences in the fall of 2008 at
the global 2nd home conference in LA, in Colorado Springs and at the Canadian
Conference in Kelowna. (BuyWithFriends was the featured cover story on the
Canadian Resort Magazine...four additional stories are pending).
With The ROG Model complete and dozens of developers requesting The ROG
Model, ROG created the ROG Licensing Model allowing multiple developer
projects, in multiple markets to access The ROG Model at once.

The first three of several large sales forces were also attracted to ROG late in
2008, which will allow ROG to scale in 2009. One pending global sales alliance
currently has 60,000 real estate agents signed up to sell and ROG is potentially
the fractional model on the global portal.

4....Growth Phase - Q4 2008:


October 2008 ROG licensed the ROG Model to the second great project.
RABASKA is an award winning site on the golf course, at the #1 Mont Tremblant
ski/golf project (In December 2008 RABASKA Won the Gold Award "Best Ski
Development in the World", and, won Gold in Canada as the Best Golf
Development in Canada)...ROG launched in December 2008 the first four homes
- Also in October 2008 ROG licensed ROG's first Private Fractional Residence
Club at the award winning $1.5B Borrego Springs Private Residence Club in
California near San Diego...Awarded Top 5 New Golf courses in North America
by Golf Digest, the project is set among 640,000 acres of protected state park.

At the December 12-14 opening weekend launch, $1.1M was sold...forecast is


for $1M/month in sales throughout 2009 using The ROG Model.

In November 2008 - ROG licensed and created the RED Mountain Fractional
Club in interior BC...Awarded 6th Best ski area in North America in SKI magazine
the developer is using all aspects of The ROG Model. RED Mountain launch date
is January 5th, 2009.

Four of North America’s Premier Resort Projects are all now using the ROG
Model with full reciprocal use to owners!!!

Page 6 of 7
In December 2008 alone, eight additional projects were referred to ROG from
ROG’s alliances, and sources, and ROG believes that several new licenses will
be signed in Q1 - 2009.

5....2009 Growth Phase:


ROG has in excess of 15 projects totaling several $billion in the ROG pipeline
plus, several new sales alliances and marketing deals. ROG Revenue Model
Comment:

At $1.1M in sales (in the opening weekend) in the California project, ROG earns
over $90,000 in setup and license fees. With the developers estimate of $1M
sales/month, the revenue from this one site, would top $700,000 for 2009. And,
this doesn't take into account revenue generated from other sources on this site
such as ROG operating fees.

ROG currently has four projects being sold and with the projects in the pipeline,
ROG could scale this revenue model across many projects. It becomes clear to
see that with only 20M shares outstanding, at $.50/share, how this becomes a
profitable investment.

Finally:

Clearly The ROG Model is benefiting from current market conditions as


developers and consumers look for an affordable solution....ROG's.

The ROG Model works EXCELLENT in a good market and even BETTER in a
soft market.

This will allow our buyers (Monte Cristo) to use the other properties that ROG
sells due to the same model we all use!
