Introduction

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This annual report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, the Company (Royal Invest International Corp, a Delaware corporation) may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements.  Actual results are uncertain and may be impacted by many factors. In particular, certain risks and uncertainties that may impact the accuracy of the forward-looking statements with respect to revenues, expenses and operating results include without limitation; cycles of customer orders, general economic and competitive conditions and changing customer trends, technological advances and the number and timing of new product introductions, shipments of products and components from foreign suppliers, and changes in the mix of products ordered by customers. As a result, the actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Because of these and other factors that may affect the Company’s operating results, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Our executive offices are located at 980 Post Road East, 2nd Floor, Westport, Connecticut 06880 our office in The Netherlands is located at Kruisweg 859, 2132 NG Hoofddorp.

The Company

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware as part of a reorganization on May 2, 2005.  In January 2007 we changed our name to Royal Invest International Corp. (“Royal Invest”) and we trade on the OTC under the stock symbol “RIIC”.  We were originally organized on October 30, 1980, under the laws of the State of Florida as C.N.W. Corp.  We did not have any activity before 1998 and, accordingly, commencement of our development stage is considered to be at the beginning of 1998.  On July 21, 1998, we increased our capitalization from 1,000 common shares to 50,000,000 common shares. Our par value was changed from $1 to $0.001.  On July 21, 1998, we changed our name to C.N.W of Orlando Inc., and on December 28, 1998 we changed our name to GlobalNetCare, Inc.  Our direction and sole activities at that time was to operate in Canada as a medical Website.  The medical Website never totally developed.

On September 12, 2000, we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Cor-Bit Peripherals Inc. and BusinessWay Computer Centers Inc.  On January 31, 2001 GlobalNetCare changed its name to BusinessWay International Corporation.  By 2004 we had no operating businesses.

On December 6, 2004 we changed our name to ICBS International Corp., reversed split all our issued shares on a five for one basis, and acquired Inter Canadian Business Services Ltd. also known as Service D’affaires Inter Canadian Ltee of Westmont, Quebec, Canada including its subsidiary Puritan Securities, Inc. of New York, New York, an SEC registered broker-dealer and a member of FINRA for 86,173,987 newly issued shares subject to voting restrictions and performance conditions.  On February 14, 2005 the acquisition of Inter Canadian Business Services Ltd. was cancelled, and we acquired back Puritan Securities, Inc. of New York, New York for 17,909,507 newly issued shares.  These shares were not subject to any voting restrictions or performance conditions.  In addition all our outstanding Class A Special Voting Shares were converted to common and the series was eliminated.  On May 9, 2005 we acquired and merged into Wah King Invest Corp., a Delaware corporation in a corporate reorganization.  In addition, we reversed split all our issued shares on a ten for one basis.  On November 15, 2005 a majority of our shareholders of record by special meeting of the shareholders approved the sale of our subsidiary Puritan Securities, Inc. to Blue Ribbon International Corp., an OTC publicly traded company that thereafter changed its name to Puritan Financial Group, Inc. (hereinafter “Puritan Financial”) for 37,500,000 preferred shares of Puritan Financial which were converted to 7,500,000 common shares of Puritan Financial after a 5 to 1 reverse split.  On November 15, 2005 we issued the Puritan Financial shares as a stock dividend to our shareholders of record on November 21, 2005.
 
On January 26, 2007 our business focus changed.  On that date we began negotiations for the acquisition of properties and building facilities in The Netherlands and Germany.  As a consequence of the change, we changed our name to our current name Royal Invest International Corp.

Business and Investment Objectives and Operating Strategies
 
Since our formation, our business and investment objectives have been to:
 
· obtain capital gain on the sale of any properties;
· make new investments in properties or joint ventures, including by, directly or indirectly, developing new properties; and
· preserve and protect the shareholders’ capital.
 
Our board of directors in their sole discretion, may change these investment objectives as it deems appropriate and in our best interests.  Prior to changing any of the investment objectives, the board of directors will consider, among other factors, expectations, changing market trends, management expertise and ability and the relative risks and rewards associated with any change.
 
We intend to reach our business and investment objectives through our acquisition and operating strategies. Our acquisition and operating strategies are to:
 
· focus on Continental European and Great Britain markets; 
maintain a portfolio which is diversified by property type and to some degree by geographical location;
· achieve and maintain high occupancy and increase rental rates through: (1) efficient leasing strategies, and (2) providing quality maintenance and services to tenants;
· control operating expenses through operating efficiencies and economies of scale;
· attract and retain high quality tenants;
· invest in properties that we believe offer significant growth opportunity; and
· emphasize regular repair and capital improvement programs to enhance the properties’ competitive advantages in their respective markets.
 
Competition
 
We compete with other entities to locate suitable properties for acquisition, to locate purchasers for our properties and to locate tenants to rent space at each of our properties.  Although our business is competitive, it is not seasonal.  While the markets in which we compete are highly fragmented with no dominant competitors, we face substantial competition.  This competition is generally for the retention of existing tenants at lease expiration or for new tenants when vacancies occur.  There are numerous other similar types of properties located in close proximity to each of our properties.  We maintain the suitability and competitiveness of our properties primarily on the basis of effective rents, amenities and services provided to tenants.  The amount of leasable space available in any market could have a material adverse effect on our ability to rent space and on the rents charged.  Competition to acquire existing properties from institutional investors and other publicly traded real estate limited partnerships and real estate investment trusts has increased substantially in the past several years.  In many of our markets, institutional investors, owners and developers of properties compete vigorously to acquire, develop and lease space.  Many of these competitors have substantially more resources than we do.

Competitive Advantages
 
We believe that we have competitive advantages that will enable us to be selective with respect to additional real estate investment opportunities. Our competitive advantages include:
 
· substantial local market expertise where we own properties;
· long standing relationships with tenants, real estate brokers and institutional and other owners of real estate in our markets; and
· fully integrated real estate operations that allow us to respond quickly to acquisition opportunities.
 
Investment and Financing Policies
 
We will consider the acquisition of additional multifamily properties, retail properties, office buildings and business centers from time to time, with our primary emphasis on office buildings and business centers.  These properties may be located anywhere within the continental Europe; however, we will continue to focus on the Netherlands and Germany.  We will evaluate all new real estate investment opportunities based on a range of factors including, but not limited to: (1) rental levels under existing leases; (2) financial strength of tenants; (3) levels of expense required to maintain operating services and routine building maintenance at competitive levels; and (4) levels of capital expenditure required to maintain the capital components of the property in good working order and in conformity with building codes, health, safety and environmental standards.  We also plan not to acquire any new properties at a capitalization rate less than five percent (5%).  Any properties we acquire in the future would be managed and financed in the same manner as the properties that we acquired in the merger, and we will continue to enforce our policy of borrowing no more than eighty-five percent (85%) of the sum of: (a) the appraised value of our fully-constructed properties and (b) the appraised value of our properties in the development stage as if those properties were completed and ninety-five percent (95%) leased.
 
Change in Policies
 
Our Company, through its board of directors, determines our dividend, investment, financing and other policies. The board of directors reviews these policies at least annually to determine whether they are being followed and if they are in the best interests of our shareholders. The board of directors may revise or amend these policies at any time without a vote of the shareholders.
 
Working Capital Practices
 
Information about our working capital practices are included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7.
 
Environmental Matters
 
We believe that our portfolio of properties complies in all material respects with all local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances.  During the acquisitions, independent environmental consultants have conducted environmental site assessments on a majority of the properties that we acquired in the merger.  Site assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties.  These assessments may not, however, have revealed all environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns.

Access to Company Information
 
We electronically file our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The public may read and copy any of the reports that are filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (800)-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.
 
We make available, free of charge, through our website, and by responding to requests addressed to our investor relations department, the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports.  These reports are available as soon as reasonably practical after such material is electronically filed or furnished to the SEC. Our website address is www.royalinvestinternational.com. The information contained on our website, or on other websites linked to our website, is not part of this document.
 
 
 
 
Certain information included in this report or in other materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us) contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They contain words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “may,” “can,” “could,” “might” and other words or phrases of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such statements include information relating to anticipated operating results, financial resources, changes in revenues, changes in profitability, interest expense, growth and expansion, anticipated income to be realized from our investments in unconsolidated entities, the ability to acquire land, the ability to gain approvals and to open new communities, the ability to sell properties, the ability to secure materials and subcontractors, the ability to produce the liquidity and capital necessary to expand and take advantage of opportunities in the future, and stock market valuations. From time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in our other periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, in press releases, in presentations, on our website and in other material released to the public.
 
 
We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K should be consulted. The following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business includes factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Other factors beyond those listed below, including factors unknown to us and factors known to us, which we have not determined to be material, could also adversely affect us. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and all of our forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referenced in this section.

As of December 31, 2007, ECM Hoff Holding BV beneficially owns approximately 49.6% of our outstanding common shares and Muermans Vast Goed Roermond BV beneficially owns approximately 39.5% of our outstanding common shares.  Together they effectively have the power to elect all of the directors and control the management, operations and affairs of our Company. Their ownership may discourage someone from making a significant equity investment in our Company, even if we needed the investment to operate our business.  Their holdings could be a significant factor in delaying or preventing a change of control transaction that other shareholders may deem to be in their best interests, such as a transaction in which the other shareholders would receive a premium for their shares over their current trading prices.
 
 
 
 
 
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, terrorism and rental loss insurance covering all of our properties.  We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice.  None of the entities carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as losses from riots, war, acts of God or mold.  Some of the policies, like those covering losses due to terrorism and floods, are insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits, which may not be sufficient to cover losses.  If we experience a loss which is uninsured or which exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged property as well as the anticipated future cash flows from that property.  In addition, if the damaged property is subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if it was irreparably damaged.

Under various laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be held liable for contamination resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances at that property, and may be required to investigate and clean up any contamination at, or emanating from, that property. These laws often impose liability, which may be joint and several, without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the contaminants. The presence of contamination, or the failure to remediate contamination, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell, lease or develop the real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. In addition, the owner or operator of a site may be subject to claims by third parties based on personal injury, property damage or other costs, including costs associated with investigating or cleaning up the environmental contamination present at, or emanating from, a site.

Penny Stock Considerations

Because our shares trade at less than $5.00 per share, they are “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $100,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:

o
Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commissions relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
o
Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
o
Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
o
Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market.  These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities.  Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Dividends

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.  We plan to retain any future earnings for use in our business.  Any decisions as to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other facts as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The Company has not sold any shares during its current fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  Information with respect to previously reported sales prior to January 1, 2008 may be found in the Company’s prior year filings.

This section provides our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (‘‘MD&A”).
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data appearing in Part II, Item 8.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
General
 
A critical accounting policy is one that would materially affect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances.  These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’).  GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates.  The following disclosure discusses judgments known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.
 
Impairment and Valuation
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) ASC (Accounting Standards Codification") Topic 360 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,’’ specifies circumstances in which certain long-lived assets must be reviewed for impairment.  If this review indicates that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of its expected future cash flows, the asset’s carrying value must be written down to fair value.  In determining the value of an investment property and whether the investment property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected rental and vacancy rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures, interest rates and recent appraisals when available.  The capitalization rate used to determine property valuation is based on among others, the market in which the investment property is located, length of leases, tenant financial strength, the economy in general, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age and physical condition.  All of these factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular investment property.  The value of any particular investment property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  If the actual results differ from management’s judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.
 
The mergers were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 ‘‘Business Combinations.’’  Royal Invest Europe BV was treated as the purchasing entity.  For the merger, the portion of the assets and liabilities acquired from unaffiliated third parties was adjusted to reflect its fair market value.  That portion owned by affiliates of the Company was reflected at historical cost.
 
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, we allocate the purchase price of each acquired investment property among land, buildings and improvements, other intangibles, including acquired above market leases, acquired below market leases and acquired in place lease origination cost which is the market cost avoidance of executing the acquired leases.  Allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires complex judgments and significant estimates.  We use information contained in third-party appraisals as the primary basis for allocating the purchase price between land and buildings.  A pro rata portion of the purchase price is allocated to the value of avoiding a lease-up period for acquired in-place leases.  The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial term of the respective leases.  A portion of the purchase price is allocated to the estimated lease origination cost based on estimated lease execution costs for similar leases and considered various factors including geographic location and size of leased space.  We then evaluate acquired leases based upon current market rates at the acquisition date and various other factors including geographic location, size and the location of leased space within the property, tenant profile and the credit risk of the tenant in determining whether the acquired lease is above or below market.  After acquired leases are determined to be at, above or below market, we allocate a pro rata portion of the purchase price to any acquired above or below market lease based upon the present value of the difference between the contractual lease rate and the estimated market rate.  We also consider an allocation of purchase price to in-place leases that have a customer relationship intangible value.  The characteristics we consider in allocating these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant and the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals.  We did not have any tenants with whom we have identified a developed relationship that we believe had any intangible value.
 
Recognition of Rental Income
 
Under GAAP, we are required to recognize rental income based on the effective monthly rent for each lease.  The effective monthly rent is equal to the average monthly rent during the term of the lease, not the stated rent for any particular month.  The process, known as ‘‘straight-lining’’ or ‘‘stepping’’ rent generally has the effect of increasing rental revenues during the early phases of a lease and decreasing rental revenues in the latter phases of a lease.  If rental income calculated on a straight-line basis exceeds the cash rent due under the lease, the difference is recorded as an increase in deferred rent receivable and included as a component of accounts receivable on the relevant balance sheet.  If the cash rent due under the lease exceeds rental income calculated on a straight-line basis, the difference is recorded as a decrease in deferred rent receivable and is recorded as a decrease of accounts receivable on the relevant balance sheet.  We defer recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage or excess rent, until the specified target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.  We periodically review the collectability of outstanding receivables.  Allowances are generally taken for tenants with outstanding balances due for a period greater than ninety days and tenants with outstanding balances due for a period less than ninety days but that we believe are potentially uncollectible.
 
Recognition of Lease Termination Income
 
We recognize lease termination income upon receipt of the income.  We accrue lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.

We review all expenditures and capitalize any item exceeding $2,500 deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement with an expected useful life greater than one year.  Land, buildings and amenities are stated at cost.  Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Buildings and improvements have estimated useful lives between 25-50 years, improvements have estimated useful lives of 5-35 years and amenities have estimated useful lives of 5-10 years.  Acquired above and below market leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related leases as an adjustment to rental income.  Acquired in place lease origination cost is amortized over the life of the lease as a component of amortization expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
                 Our most liquid asset is our cash.  Operating income generated by the properties will be the primary source from which we generate cash.  Our main uses of cash will relate to capital expenditures, required payments of mortgages and notes payable, distributions and property taxes.
 
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $1,400,234 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $822,367 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease is primarily the result of an increased loss from operating activities from ($16,319,499) for the year ended December 31, 2008 to ($43,970,182) for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase in fair value adjustment on property from $8,387,914 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $38,038,014 for the year ended December 31, 2009, the increase in change in value of derivative liability from ($2,313,130) for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2009, the decrease on loss on debt modification from $1,416,852 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2009, the decrease on amortization - on debt discount from $541,096 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the decrease in accounts payable from $1,757,120 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to ($638,813) for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities decreased from ($195,675) for the year ended December 31, 2008 to ($250,722) for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in property acquired from $(195,675) for the year ended December 31, 2008 to ($250,722) for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities increased from approximately ($791,435) for the year ended December 31, 2008 to ($163,115) for the year ended December 31, 2009. 
 
Future Liquidity
 
Our future liquidity depends significantly on our properties’ occupancy remaining at a level which allows us to make debt payments and have adequate working capital, currently and in the future.  If occupancy were to fall below that level and remain at or below that level for a significant period of time, our ability to make payments due under our debt agreements and to continue paying daily operational costs would be greatly impaired.  In the next twelve months, we intend to operate the properties in a similar manner to their operation in recent years.  Cash reserves, which consist of unrestricted cash as shown on our balance sheet, was $454,854 on December 31, 2009.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we had no property acquisitions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors
Royal Invest International Corp.
Westport, Connecticut


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Royal Invest International Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009.  Royal Invest International Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Royal Invest International Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $43,970,182 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an accumulated deficit of $65,111,573 at December 31, 2009, is in default of one of the mortgages payable and related debt covenants at December 31, 2009, and there are existing uncertain conditions which the Company faces relative to its obtaining financing, and capital in the equity markets.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization
Royal Invest International Corp., a Delaware corporation, (formerly “Wah King Invest Corp”) together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), owns, operates and manages real estate, in Europe. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company owned 18 properties. The properties aggregate approximately 88,077 square meters (approximately 948,053 square feet), which are comprised of office buildings and business centers.  The properties are located in Germany and the Netherlands.

Changes in Classifications
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, '“Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB N0. 51”, which effective July 1, 2009 (see Note 3), is incorporated in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC (“Accounting Standards Codification”) Topic 810, “Consolidation.”. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require the following changes.  The ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity.  The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. When a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary is initially measured at fair value.  The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any non-controlling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained investment and entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. The Company adopted these provisions effective January 1, 2009 and as a result, reclassified the preferred stock in subsidiaries, representing non-controlling interests, to the equity section of the balance sheet. The preferred shares do not have interests, with the exception of the possible payment of dividends, in the income or loss of the Company.

Restatement
As of December 31, 2008, the Company restated its consolidated balance sheet to reflect a derivative liability resulting from a cash flow hedge as disclosed in Note 7. The Company entered into an interest rate swap that at that time effectively converted the interest rate on the mortgage with the Bank of Scotland from Euribor + 1.32% to a fixed rate of 4.65%.  Consequently, as of December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded a liability on interest rate swap agreement of US $5,948,948 (€ 4,220,010) which increased comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 and accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2008 to US $22,901,812 and US $6,322,009, respectively. The restatement had no affect on net loss or net loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2008 or any previous period.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred a net loss of $43,970,182 for the year ended December 31, 2009, has an accumulated deficit of $65,111,573 at December 31, 2009, is in default of one of its mortgages payable and related debt covenants at December 31, 2009, and there are existing uncertain conditions which the Company faces relative to its obtaining financing and capital in the equity markets. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company is presently working to raise additional capital to meet its working capital needs and is restructuring operating costs to be more in line with revenues.  There can be no assurances, however, that it will be successful in its efforts to raise capital or to reduce operating costs to a level where it will attain profitability.

 NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Codification
Effective July 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company considers the EURO (“€”) to be its functional currency. Assets and liabilities were translated into US dollars (“US$”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 at the period end exchange rates of € 1.00 to US $1.4333 and € 1.00 to US $1.4097, respectively. Statement of Operations amounts for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were translated using the average rates during the periods of € 1.00 to US $1.39463 and € 1.00 to US $1.47134, respectively.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Rental Property
Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs directly related to the acquisition of rental properties are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
 
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
 Buildings
 25-50 years
 Improvements
   5-35 years
 Equipment
        5-10 years

Upon acquisition of rental property, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s real estate properties held for use may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has incurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, as a result of the global economy and its effect on real estate, management assessed that there were factors that may impair the value of the Company’s real estate properties. Based on calculations using the above assumptions, management estimated that the carrying amount of rental properties exceeded fair value at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and a charge to operations of US $38,038,014 (€ 27,274,628) and US $8,387,914 (€ 5,700,867), respectively, was recorded.

Cash and CashEquivalents
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of six months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition
Base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Included in current rents receivable are unbilled rents receivable representing the amounts by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease terms. Escalations and recoveries from tenants are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreements. These costs generally include utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs. Other income includes income from parking spaces leased to tenants, income from tenants for additional services arranged for by the Company and income from tenants for early lease terminations.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances should be impaired based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances.  Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to exercise significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income.  Based on management’s estimates an allowance of US $251,544 and US $130,524 was recorded as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Income and Other Taxes
Royal Invest Europe B.V. (“RIE”), a Dutch corporation and a subsidiary of the Company, presently owns nine real estate properties located in the Netherlands. Since RIE is a Dutch corporation, it is subject to the Dutch tax laws and therefore needs to do income tax declarations in the Netherlands.

Royal Invest Germany Properties 1 BV (“RIGP1”) (formerly Rico Staete B.V.), a Dutch corporation and one of the subsidiaries of the Company presently owns one real estate property located in Germany. The rental income is originating from a German tenant in Germany and therefore is subject to German tax laws. RIGP1 declares and pays the income tax according to German tax rules. Since RIGP1 is a Dutch corporation, it is also subject to Dutch tax laws and therefore also needs to do income tax declarations in the Netherlands. The difference between the German and the Dutch income tax is payable in the Netherlands.

Alfang B.V. trading as Royal Invest Dutch Properties 1 B.V. (“RIDP1”), a Dutch corporation and one of the subsidiaries of the Company presently owns five real estate properties located in the Netherlands.  Since RIDP1 B.V. is a Dutch corporation, it is subject to the Dutch tax laws and therefore needs to do income tax declarations in the Netherlands.

AmogB B.V. trading as Royal Invest Dutch Properties 2 B.V. (“RIDP2”), a Dutch corporation and one of the subsidiaries of the Company presently owns three real estate properties located in the Netherlands.  Since RIDP2 B.V. is a Dutch corporation, it is subject to the Dutch tax laws and therefore needs to do income tax declarations in the Netherlands.

Comprehensive Income
GAAP establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components which will be presented in association with a company's financial statements.  Comprehensive income is defined as the change in a business enterprise's equity during a period arising from transactions, events or circumstances relating to non-owner sources, such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities.  It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to owners.  Comprehensive income is accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity, in the balance sheet.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate, over the term of the related indebtedness. Amortization of such costs is US $513,525 and US $535,463 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount.

Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expense in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately US $6,000 and US $67,000, respectively.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Equity-based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation, Stock Compensation” (“Topic No. 718”). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of the Company’s equity instruments are estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.

The Company accounts for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, which ever is more reliably measurable. When the equity instrument is utilized for measurement the fair value of the equity instrument is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes an asset or expense in the same manner as if it was to receive cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument.

Derivative Instruments
The Company measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

New authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, which became effective January 1, 2009, amends prior guidance to amend and expand the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under ASC Topic 815, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, the new authoritative accounting guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The new authoritative accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Fair Value
The Company measures certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic No. 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The pronouncement clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value (see Note 7).

Reclassifications
Certain 2008 revenue and expense items have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2009 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities,” (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under ASC Topic 320, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the provisions of the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” On January 1, 2009, new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” became applicable to the Company’s accounting for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009. ASC Topic 805 applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. ASC Topic 805 requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under previous accounting guidance whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. ASC Topic 805 requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under prior accounting guidance. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies are to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.” Under ASC Topic 805, the requirements of ASC Topic 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations,” would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria of ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.”

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” amended prior guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Under ASC Topic 810, a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, ASC Topic 810 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 became effective on January 1, 2009 (see Note 1).

Further new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 will be effective January 1, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820,”Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. ASC Topic 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The new accounting guidance amended prior guidance to expand certain disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.

Further new authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-5) under ASC Topic 820 provides guidance for measuring the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. In such instances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (i) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (iii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the existing principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an income approach or market approach. The new authoritative accounting guidance also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The forgoing new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 will be effective for the Company’s financial statements beginning October 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic No. 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”), on a prospective basis.  The provisions of ASC 855 provide guidance related to the accounting for the disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  Effective February 24, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” which revised certain disclosure requirements.

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTIES AND CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
 
In December 2007, the Company issued 8% convertible promissory notes to ECM Participations (formerly, ECM Hoff Holding B.V) and Muermans Vast Goed Roemond B.V. in the amounts of € 1,091,257 (US $1,564,098) and € 3,500,000 (US $5,016,550), respectively, as part of the consideration for the purchase price of properties acquired. The notes are due December 31, 2010, but were convertible at any time into shares of common stock, along with any accrued and unpaid interest, at a conversion price of $1.60 per share, unless the price of common stock on the date of conversion is $1.60 or less. If the price of common stock on the date of conversion is $1.60 or less, than the conversion price will be the average price of the common stock over the 90 days prior to the conversion date reduced by 25%.

Effective on June 30, 2008, the Company and note holders modified the terms of the promissory notes where as the conversion features on the notes were waived in consideration for the company agreeing to pay the note holders a premium on the original notes. Such premium is calculated based on 21% of the original note principal plus interest accrued through June 30, 2008.  The modifications are accounted for as a debt extinguishment with the modified terms representing new notes.  The premiums amounted to € 238,534 (US $376,820) and € 765,053 (US $1,208,708), respectively (see Note 11).  The Company recognized a net loss on the modification of € 896,799 (US $1,416,852) at June 30, 2008, based on the fair value of the notes after the modification compared to the carrying value of the notes under the original terms (which included the derivative liability). As a result of the modification, the Company no longer had a derivative liability as of June 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the notes, which total US $6,580,648, are outstanding.

NOTE 6 – MORTGAGES PAYABLE

The Company has mortgages which are collateralized by most of the Company’s rental properties. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 all of the Company’s properties, with a net book value of approximately US $93 million and US $133 million, respectively, are encumbered by the Company’s mortgages. Payments on mortgages are generally due in quarterly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.

The Company’s properties are primarily mortgaged through a € 100,000,000 financing agreement with the Bank of Scotland. The terms call for a pay down based on a percentage of the outstanding amount utilized (1.25% in year 1; 1.50% in years 2 & 3; 2.0% in years 4, 5 & 6) with maturity at 6 years from the initial drawdown which was December 27, 2007. Interest is due quarterly at Euribor + 1.32%. The agreement contains customary financial covenants which the Company is not in compliance with as of December 31, 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company borrowed approximately US $530,000 (€ 380,000) on the mortgage for amounts due under an interest rate swap agreement. The amount outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2008 is US $113,695,121 (€ 79,324,022) and US $111,287,072 (€ 78,943,798), respectively. The remaining amount of the facility of approximately € 20,676,000 can be used for financing other properties (85% LTV/LTC). The mortgage is currently in default and as of December 2009 approximately US $8,081,000 (€ 5,638,000) of interest, interest swap, late payment penalty and redemption due is in arrears.

The Company has an additional mortgage payable to SNS Bank. The amount outstanding on this mortgage at December 31, 2009 and 2008 is US $3,756,752 (€ 2,621,051) and US $4,090,630 (€ 2,901,774), respectively. The SNS Bank Mortgage is payable in monthly installments of $22,335. The mortgage bears a variable interest rate (monthly Euribor + 2%). The mortgage is collateralized by the land and buildings. The balloon payment due at maturity was not paid, however, the maturity date is extended each month upon the monthly payment of an extension fee.   The Company continues to make monthly payments.  The Company is currently in negotiations with SNS Bank to refinance the mortgage.

 
At December 31, 2009, minimum future principal payments over the next five years and in the aggregate are as follows:

NOTE 7 – CASH FLOW HEDGE

The company holds derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging the risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions.  In general, the types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by changes in interest rates.  In hedging the transactions the Company, in the normal course of business, entered into an interest rate swap that effectively converted the interest rate on the total mortgage loan (€ 79,000,000) with the Bank of Scotland from Euribor + 1.32% to a fixed rate of 4.365% (4.65% through April 15, 2009 on €65,000,000 ). In the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company terminated an interest rate swap CAP and received proceeds of € 142,700 (US $209,960), which was recorded as a reduction of interest expense.

Following is an analysis of the changes in the net unrealized loss on cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income:

Effective January 1, 2008, the company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement dates.

Level 2 – inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The Company has established a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset because of a lack of sufficient positive evidence to support its realization.  The valuation allowance increased by approximately US $40,000 and US $71,000 in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As of December 31, 2009, there are approximately $2.3 million in US net operating loss carryforwards expiring through 2029.  Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the utilization of these losses when there is a change in ownership, as defined in the code. As a result of stock issued for acquisitions and properties purchased, the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards are limited.

In the past, RIGP1, RIDP1 and RIDP2, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, sold certain properties at a profit. Dutch tax law allows Real Estate Investment Trusts to postpone the payment of income tax resulting from the sale of properties by setting up a replacement reserve to purchase another property within a certain time. A portion of the original profit is not allowed to be postponed. The postponed income tax payable is shown as deferred tax in the balance sheet.

There have been no disagreements between the Company and Meyler & Company, LLC (“MC”) in connection with any services provided to us by them for the periods of their engagement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

No accountant’s report on the financial statements for the past two years contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except such reports did contain a going concern qualification; such financial statements did not contain any adjustments for uncertainties stated therein. In addition, MC did not advise the Company with regard to any of the following:

1.            That internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial statements did not exist; or
 
2.    That information has come to their attention, which made them unwilling to rely on management’s representations, or unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management; or

 
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures - As of December 31, 2009, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e).  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009. 
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Also, 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 compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate or be circumvented. 
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Controls-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO.  Based on management’s assessment and the criteria established by COSO, management believes that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. 
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting- There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 
 
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Stock Option Plan

The Company has no Stock Option Plan as of this date.

Warrants

The Company has no Warrants outstanding as of this date.

Indemnification

Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and its Bylaws, the Company may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a matter he reasonably believed to be in the Company’s best interest.  The Company may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding.  To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, the Company must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees.  With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order.  The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Delaware law, the Company is informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.



The following table sets forth as of December 31, 2009, information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by (i) each person known by the Company to own beneficially 5% or more of such stock, (ii) each Director of the Company who owns any Common Stock, and (iii) all Directors and Officers as a group, together with their percentage of beneficial holdings of the outstanding shares.

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose.  Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security.  A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right.  More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities.  The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days.  Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner.  Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
