NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES


Interim Financial Information – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.  The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements.


The Company is considered to be a development stage company with its activities to date consisting of developing a network of “members’ only” resorts by acquiring or controlling boutique style resorts located in the Caribbean. The Company acquired its first resort, a 24 room property located in Barbuda West Indies, in September 2003. The Barbuda property commenced operations in April 2004. The Company plans to sell memberships which entitle the member to use the resorts under a membership plan.


Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share —At March 31, 2005, there were 8,797,123 options/warrants outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effects would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.


Stock Based Compensation — The Company accounts for stock options/warrants issued to directors, officers and employees under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations (“APB 25”).  Under APB 25, compensation expense is recognized if an option’s exercise price on the measurement date is below the fair value of the Company’s common stock.  The Company accounts for options and warrants issued to non-employees at their fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”).  The Company granted no options or warrants to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.


Business Condition – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements for the period from January 11,

2001 (date of inception) through March 31, 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of $10,975,185.  The lack of material revenues and the loss from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.  


The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amount and classification of liabilities which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. The Company’s management has raised capital and acquired operating resort properties in the Caribbean in anticipation of ultimately attaining successful operations; however, there is no assurance that this will occur.


NOTE 2 – NOTES PAYABLE


Subordinated Notes Payable

On September 1, 2003, the Company commenced a private placement of subordinated notes payable, with a minimum offering of $450,000 and a maximum offering of $10,000,000. The notes are offered at 100% of the face or principal amount in the minimum denomination of $25,000, with $1,000 increments thereafter. The notes mature on August 31, 2008 and will be payable in full at maturity. Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly. Each note is redeemable at the election of the Company at any time at a price of 106% of the principal amount of each note.


During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company issued notes totaling $645,000.  The Company received $580,500 net of offering costs of $64,500. From the commencement of the offering through March 31, 2005, the Company has issued notes totaling $5,819,700. Interest payable relating to the notes was $165,765 at March 31, 2005.


The notes contain an immediately detachable stock purchase warrant which enables the holder to acquire common stock of the Company. The warrants enable the holder to purchase 300 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 in face value of the notes subscribed. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. The per share exercise price for the warrant shares will be the lesser of: $1 or 50% of the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the termination date of the offering.  The Company issued 193,500 warrants relating to the notes payable issued during the three months ended March 31, 2005 at exercise prices ranging from $0.55 to $0.75.


The proceeds from the offering for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were allocated to the financial instruments issued, based upon their relative fair values and resulted in an allocation of $524,186 to the notes before deferred financing costs of $52,419 and $108,733 (which includes $12,081 of offering costs) to the warrants. While the allocated value of the warrants was less than their fair value of $148,924, the fair value of the warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.70%, expected dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 53.54%, and expected lives of 5 years.


The total deferred financing costs at March 31, 2005 of $1,168,747 and the discount on the notes of $1,385,278 will be amortized as interest expense through August 31, 2008.  Interest expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $846,851.


Laurus Transaction.

On July 29, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Island company (Laurus). Under the agreement, the Company issued to Laurus a convertible term note in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000. The term of the note is three years and bears interest at the rate of prime plus two percent, subject to a minimum rate and adjustments. The funds received from the note, less a $394,500 fee payable to Laurus, have been placed in a restricted bank account under the sole dominion and control of Laurus. The ability to use the funds is subject to limitations and restrictions. The Company is required to make monthly payments of principal and interest, on amounts not in the restricted account, with principal payments commencing November 1, 2004. For amounts drawn from the restricted account on or prior to July 29, 2005, the principal payments will be based on a ten year amortization schedule and for amounts drawn from the restricted account after such date, the principal payments will be based on a five year amortization schedule. The Company has the right to prepay all amounts drawn down by paying 101% of such amount in cash. The note is convertible into common stock at a fixed price of $1.37 per share subject to certain conditions.

In connection with the agreement and term note, the Company issued Laurus stock options and stock purchase warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock. The stock option agreement enables Laurus to acquire up to 2,786,941 shares of common stock, fully diluted as of the date of the closing. The option is exercisable during a 10 year term at an exercise price of $.0036 per share.

The agreement also grants Laurus stock purchase warrants that provide the right to acquire 807,692 shares of the Company’s common stock during a seven year term. The exercise prices of the warrant are $2.26, $2.40, and $2.74, respectively, each for one third of the common shares covered under the warrant. On August 30, 2004, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of amounts due under the note, as described above, as well as the  common shares issuable upon exercise of the stock options and the stock purchase warrants described above.  The total number of common shares to be received by Laurus upon conversion of the note and upon exercise of the stock options and stock purchase warrants may not exceed 4.99% of the outstanding common stock, although, Laurus may void the stated limitation by providing the Company with 75 days notice of their election to void the limitation.

 For accounting purposes, the fair value of the options and warrants is considered loan costs.  The fair value of $4,055,003 has been measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.23%, expected dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 51.3%, and expected lives of 9.33 years.  The value of the options and warrants and the $394,500 fee payable to Laurus are being amortized over the life of the loan. Interest expense recognized for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $370,792. At March 31, 2005, the only amounts drawn on the convertible term note was the $394,500 fee payable to Laurus.


In connection with this funding, the Company agreed to issue to a registered broker dealer, a fee of ten percent of the funds drawn on the note, and warrants to acquire 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants expire on July 29, 2014. For accounting purposes, the fair value of the warrants is considered loan costs.  The fair value of $1,293,466 has been measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.23%, expected dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 51.3%, and expected lives of 10 years.  The value of the warrants and the $39,450 is being amortized over the life of the loan. Interest expense recognized for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $170,999.


NOTE 3 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK WARRANTS


Warrants- As discussed in Note 2, the Company has entered into an agreement relating to the private placement offering of subordinated notes payable which began in September 2003.  During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the company issued warrants to purchase 193,500 shares of common stock.  Also discussed in Note 2, the Company entered into a financing agreement in which the Company issued options and warrants to purchase 3,594,633 shares of common stock.  At March 31, 2005, the Company had 8,797,123 options/warrants outstanding.


NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Lawsuit with Independent Financial Services

On June 15, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Independent Financial Services, Inc. (“IFS”) in which IFS agreed to act as an agent for CCI to obtain financing for the Company.  As compensation for these services, the Company agreed to pay a commission consisting of a) common shares equal to 2% of the common stock on the date of closing and if the lender/investor does not require equity participation, then 4% and b) 4% of the gross loan amount payable in cash, which includes any mezzanine, equity funds or sale/leaseback proceeds.  This agreement expired on August 17, 2004.  If the Company obtains funding from a source introduced by IFS during the original term of the agreement, within five years of the expiration of the agreement, the Company is required to pay the above fees to IFS.


On July 29, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Laurus. Under the agreement, the Company issued to Laurus a convertible term note in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000 plus options and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. On September 1, 2004, IFS filed a lawsuit against CCI claiming breach of contract and seeking the payment of fees under the agreement.  IFS is also seeking an award of compensatory damages, punitive damages, interest, costs and such other relief as provided by law and deemed just by the Court. The Company filed an answer to the lawsuit stating in part that IFS fraudulently induced the Company to enter into the agreement knowing they (IFS) were not a registered broker-dealer.  The Company also believes that the nature of the underlying transaction with Laurus would require IFS to be a registered broker-dealer in order to receive such fees or commissions.


Currently, the outcome of the litigation is uncertain. If the Company were to lose the lawsuit the Company may be required to pay $420,000 representing the 4% commission and the issuance of 2% of CCI’s common stock on July 29, 2004.


In March 2004, the Company and its subsidiary filed a complaint in the Supreme Court for the State of New York against the former president of the Company’s subsidiary seeking declaratory relief against certain claims made by the former president.  The former president filed an answer and counter claim alleging he was entitled to participate in the November 2002 stock exchange agreement between the Company and its Subsidiary and is entitled to 3,544,170 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Additionally, the former president alleges he was terminated without sufficient cause under his employment agreement and is entitled to additional compensation of approximately $48,000.  Currently, the outcome of the litigation is uncertain.  If the Company were to lose the lawsuit the Company may be required to issue the common stock and make the cash payment sought in the counter claim.


Consulting Agreement

The Company has a consulting agreement in place which provides for a finders fee equal to 5% of the purchase price of any properties the Company purchases that were introduced by the consultant.  Under this agreement, the Company will pay $250,000 to the consultant for the purchase of the Palmetto Beach Hotel when the Company obtains title to the property at the end of the lease.


On January 6, 2005, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with a consulting firm, Inc. to provide investor relations services to the Company.  The Agreement is effective for six months with an automatic six month renewal option if not canceled in writing 30 days prior to the expiration of the first term.  As compensation for this agreement, the Company is to pay $6,000 per month and issue 60,000 shares of common stock each three-month period the agreement is in place.  The Company also agreed to register the shares issued under this agreement in connection with the Company’s next registration of shares.


NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT


Subsequent to March 31, 2005, the company has issued 163,500 warrants valued at $47,144 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: interest rate of 3.29%, estimated volatility rate of 51.81%, and an estimated life of 5 years. The warrants were issued in connection to the subordinated notes payable as described in Note 2.

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2005, the Company paid the entirety of their lease payments remaining under their existing sub-lease for the Barbuda resort. The Company also exercised their option to acquire all of the assets to the resort and to receive the assignment of the underlying lease agreement with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. The Company entered into the sublease agreement in September 2003 with Impresa Guffanti Constructioni Edili SRL, an Italian company. Guffanti Constructioni received the leasehold rights to 90 acres of land where the resort is situated from the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in 1989. The term of the lease is 99 years. As a result of the assignment, the Company is now the lessee of the governmental lease. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has approved the assignment of the lease to the Company. The lease requires the Company to pay the government the sum of approximately $7,000 as an annual lease payment. The rental amount is subject to review in 10 year intervals.


The Company paid the sum of $4,048,695 to the former sub-lessor representing the remainder of the Company’s lease payments under the sub-lease agreement. The Company used funds from their exiting credit facility with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. to make this payment. The Company drew down a total of $4,700,000 from the Laurus facility. Funds remaining from the drawdown were used to pay legal and recording fees and are to be used for working capital purposes. The Company is required to pay McGinn Smith, Inc. a registered broker dealer, a fee of $220,000 in connection with their October 19, 2002 agreement with the broker dealer. Of that amount, Mr. Casolo, the Company’s Chairman who also is an officer of the broker dealer, is expected to receive a fee of $110,000 under an arrangement which pre-dated his role as their Chairman.


Under the Laurus credit facility, the Company is required to make monthly payments of principal (amortized over a seven year term) plus accrued interest commencing on August 1, 2005. A final balloon payment is due at maturity on July 29, 2007.  Interest accrues on the principal amount at the rate of prime plus 2%. The Company granted Laurus a priority lien on our assets at the resort including a priority lien on their ownership rights to the governmental lease. As of the April 22, 2005, the Company drew down a total of $5,049,500.00 from the Laurus credit facility, which amount is comprised of a $349,500 fee paid to Laurus at closing and the above described $4,700,000 draw down. On April 27, 2005, the Company notified Laurus of their intention to return to Laurus the funds remaining in the restricted account. The Company is also required to pay Laurus 1% of the amount returned plus any accrued an unpaid interest on such sum.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.


Overview.


We are CCI Group, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries are Caribbean Clubs International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and  Beach Properties Barbuda Limited, an Antiguan company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference to “our” or “we” includes our subsidiaries.


We were incorporated in Utah on February 1, 2000 under the name of Kinship Communications, Inc.  We changed our name to Kinship Systems, Inc. on March 2, 2000. CCI-Delaware was incorporated on January 11, 2001, and on  August 13, 2003, Beach Properties Barbuda Limited was incorporated.


Effective November 18, 2002, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Caribbean Clubs International, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, all of the shareholders of CCI-Delaware exchanged their common shares for our common shares on a 1 for 11.8139 ratio (rounded to whole shares). The transaction was approved by the majority of our shareholders. As part of that transaction, our then officers and directors resigned and were replaced by our current officers and directors. During November 2002, CCI-Delaware completed a private placement of its common stock pursuant to which it sold 411,000 shares and received $1,133,633 in net offering proceeds after deducting offering costs of $148,937.


On August 29, 2003, we changed our name to CCI Group, Inc.


Plan of Operations.


Our plan of operations entails a two fold strategy of developing a network of luxury resorts in the Caribbean through an acquisition program, and converting acquired resorts into “member only” clubs though a membership program we have developed. On September 18, 2003, we acquired a sub-lease to our first resort property located on the island of Barbuda, West Indies. The resort features 23 oceanfront junior suites and one villa situated on a pristine, isolated Caribbean beach. The property is located on 90 acres and is the subject of a 99 year lease agreement with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda which began in 1989.  In December 2003 we commenced a $1,300,000 renovation of the resort. The renovations were completed in April 2004 and which transformed the resort to a five star destination. Our resort is now called “The Beach House-Barbuda.”  The resort commenced operations in April 2004. On April 22, 2005, using funds from the transaction with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., we paid the entirety of our lease payments  remaining under the  original sub-lease agreement. We are now the lessee of the governmental lease. We have delayed the full scale promotion of our membership plan for the foreseeable future, and are concentrating our management efforts on the marketing and operations of our existing resort. We intend to acquire or operate other boutique style resort hotels located in the Caribbean and sell memberships to our acquired properties. We expect to re-initiate our membership marketing efforts when we have acquired at least one more operating resort.


Our cash requirements for the next 12 months will vary depending upon whether we are able to acquire other resorts. Our working capital needs for the next 12 months, other than for resort acquisitions, will include our New York operations and our Barbuda resort.


Working capital for our New York operations are estimated to be $1,931,500 for the 12 month period. This amount includes membership and resort marketing, salaries and related costs to employees, rent, fees to consultants and professionals, and debt services for our subordinated notes issued during 2003 and 2004, travel, other general and administrative charges, and resort lease payments. Membership and resort marketing which includes brochures and print material are estimated to be $25,000 for the period. Salaries including compensation to our Chairman and President and related costs to employees are estimated to be $240,000 for the period. Rent is estimated to be $64,000 for the period. We have estimated $250,000 in fees to consultants which includes $132,000 payable to three consultants for resort marketing and resort promotion, as well as accounting, legal, financial audits and reviews. Debt service on existing debt, which includes subordinated notes sold during 2003 and 2004, the Laurus note, and demand notes are estimated to be $889,500 for the period. Travel and related expenses for officers and consultants to exiting and proposed locations are estimated to be $50,000 for the period. Miscellaneous expenses for phone, suppliers and related costs are estimated to be $86,000 for the period. Finally, resort lease payments  under the sub-lease agreement for our Barbuda resort are estimated to be $327,000 for the period.


Operating expenditures for our Barbuda resort are estimated to be $1,600,000 for the 12 month period. This amount includes; salaries to employees and related costs estimated to be $780,000, food and beverage costs estimated to be $245,000, and room related charges and general and administrative charges estimated to be $575,000.


We intended to use revenues from membership sales to offset our working capital needs of our New York office as described above. However, we have suspended our membership program for the foreseeable future. Therefore, at this time, we can not predict the amount, if any, of revenues from membership sales. Revenues from our Barbuda resort will be used to offset operational expenses at the resort. The Beach House-Barbuda officially re-opened for business in April 2004 after completion of the renovation project. In November 2004, we hired a consultant to promote the resort to the travel community. Resort revenues were $293,666 for the 2004 period which consisted mainly of income from November and December 2004 operations. During the three month period ending March 31, 2005, revenues which were exclusively from our resort operations, was $579,024. We did not have resort revenue in 2004. We believe that our resort achieves a positive cash flow with a 30-35% occupancy rate during the low season, and a 15-20% occupancy rate during the high season.  Based on our recent operational result, we expect to achieve profitable operations at our resort for fiscal 2005.


As discussed above, our cash requirements for the next 12 months will be significant. Due to our cash requirements, our independent auditors in their audit report for fiscal year end December 31, 2004, contained an explanatory paragraph concerning  our ability to continue as a going concern. We will require additional funds to meet our working capital needs at our New York office and from time to time our Barbuda resort as discussed above. We also will require additional funds for any resort acquisition. Finally, if acquired resorts have a negative cash flow from operations, we may be required to raise additional funds to satisfy these working capital needs. We intend to raise the required funds through the private placement of our debt or equity securities or through bank financing. During fiscal years 2003 and 2004 and in the first quarter of 2005, a broker dealer affiliated with our Chairman has acted as our placement agent in the sale of our subordinated notes. These funds were used to satisfy our working capital requirements during these periods. At this time, however, we do not have any firm commitments to raise the additional funds described above.  If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to meet our cash requirements as described above, we may be required to curtail, suspend, or discontinue our operations, as well as suspend or discontinue acquisition of additional resorts. Our inability to raise additional funds as described above will have a material adverse impact on our business and business strategy.


During fiscal years 2003 and through July 2004, we raised approximately $5,174,700 in gross proceeds through the private placement offerings of our subordinated notes. During the first quarter of 2005, we raised approximately $580,500 net of offering costs of $64,500 in connection with the private placement offering of our subordinated notes. The notes were offered at 100% of the face or principal amount in minimum denomination is $25,000 with $1,000 increments thereafter. The notes mature between August 31, 2008 and May 1, 2009, and are payable in full at maturity. Interest accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly. Each note contains an immediately detachable stock purchase warrant. The warrant enables the holder to purchase 300 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 in face value of the Notes subscribed. The exercise period of the warrants is five years from the date of issuance. In addition, during 2004, we issued $1,054,390 in demand notes to a party related to the broker dealer affiliated with our Chairman. The notes bear interest at 12%.


We have no material commitments for capital at this time other than as described above. In addition, we do not expect to incur research and development costs within the next 12 months.




Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.

------------------------------

We have no off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2005, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, except as described in the following paragraph, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2005 are effective for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Company is required to disclose in reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

The Company has identified a weakness in internal control over the processes of entering financial statement data which includes entering cash receipts, cash disbursements and general journal entries regarding its Barbuda subsidiary. Company management, under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and in collaboration with the Company’s Board, is developing a plan to correct this weakness in internal control going forward. The plan will entail implementation of improved procedures and controls over recording accounting transactions. The plan will be reviewed monitored by the Company management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In an effort to improve its internal controls over the processing of financial data with respect to its Barbuda subsidiary, the Company has recently hired an accountant in Barbuda to provide accounting service to the Company. Other than as stated, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect disclosure controls subsequent to the date of this evaluation.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the first quarter of 2005, we raised approximately $580,500 net of offering costs of $64,500 in connection with the private placement offering of our subordinated notes. The notes were sold to one institutional investor, which is an affiliate of the Company’s Chairman. The notes mature on August 31, 2008 and will be payable in full at maturity. Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly. The notes contain an immediately detachable stock purchase warrant which enables the holder to acquire common stock of the Company. The warrants enable the holder to purchase 300 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 in face value of the notes subscribed. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. The per share exercise price for the warrant shares will be the lesser of: $1 or 50% of the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the termination date of the offering. The offering was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), including Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The subscriber was an “accredited investor,” represented its intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued in such transactions, and no advertisement or general solicitation was used in connection with the offering.
