General

ROI operates in the business of real estate development with a primary focus in land development where its main activity consists of acquiring, zoning and converting raw land into a construction-ready developed site. The land development process implemented by ROI consists of four phases:

Land acquisition - Purchasing land ready for development, in a strategic location and without any prohibited zoning restrictions.

Permits applications - Executed within the local municipalities to effectuate the legal right for current and future infrastructures development

Infrastructures - Outsourcing to qualified experts of the necessary technical and construction work.

Profit taking - Final sale of the licensed, zoned and (by now) subdivided and construction-ready land unit to established regional residential developers.

ROI’s mission is to acquire, finance and service land and property development opportunities. We strive to become a leader in land development globally by maintaining the utmost respect of the environment, particularly by emphasizing and preserving more green spaces than the local laws require.

Market Opportunity

ROI has developed several compelling reasons for market and industry success:

Experienced management team

Over 70 years of combined real estate development experience

Over 1,000 combined lots developed in the past 10 years by the team

Strategic network of construction companies, financial institutions and owners of large available land tracts

Ability to manage complex transactions

Prime Location Selection focusing on attractive markets for profit taking through land development:

Canada: Quebec and British Columbia

United States: Colorado

Europe: French Riviera

UAE: Dubai

Current Projects

We currently have the following real estate projects under development:

Beauport, QC

This project is a low density project in Beauport, a city in the suburbs of Quebec. The main roads are 2 km away from the project and all services, including a shopping center, restaurants, grocery store, clinic, primary school and high school etc. are less than 1 km away. The projects will consist of townhouses, semi-detached and standard houses whereby the Company plans to develop lots after conversion to residential zoning. Since the Company has experienced unexpected delays in zoning conversion, no significant development of this property occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017.

As of December 31, 2017, we have invested $5,069,324 (CAD 6,363,780) in the property.

Terrace, BC

Terrace is a city on the Skeena River in British Columbia, Canada. The Terrace region was a booming market in 2015 because of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects underway. Companies invested hundreds of millions of dollars in advanced work in order to be prepared for LNG. We had decided to participate in this opportunity by buying lands on which we expect to build apartments as the Terrace region had a lack of available housing and a strong need to house their employees. Stemming from the significant decline in global oil and gas prices in 2016, many LNG projects across British Columbia were delayed or discontinued and as such, housing demands in this region also rapidly diminished. No significant development of these properties occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017, however, at the end of year 2017, new discussions about restarting the largest LNG project by the end of 2018 have risen and should the project be reactivated, thousands of domestic jobs could be created, combined with a boom in residential construction in both Kitimat and Terrace.

We currently own three properties in Terrace with a total cost to date of $1,719,526 (CAD 2,158,608).

Kitimat, BC

The Kitimat region was booming due to the LNG projects underway. Companies have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in advanced work in order to be prepared for the LNG projects. Accordingly, this region experienced a severe lack of infrastructure and single family dwellings needed to house their workers. Investments have been made into this region to help strengthen the local community and to create economic advantages for future generations of British Columbians. We incurred $50,000 of development costs on this property during the year ended December 31, 2015. Stemming from the significant decline in global oil and gas prices in 2016, many LNG projects across British Columbia were delayed or discontinued and as such, housing demands in this region also rapidly diminished. No significant development of these properties occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017, however, at the end of year 2017, new discussions about restarting the largest LNG project by the end of 2018 have risen and should the project be reactivated, thousands of domestic jobs could be created, combined with a boom in residential construction in both Kitimat and Terrace.

We acquired approximately 250,000 square feet of prime residential land development to build over 300 apartment units. To date, we have invested $1,795,147 (CAD 2,253,540) in the property in Kitimat.

Louisette, France

Louisette is located in Seyne sur Mer, Var, South of France. The land is less than 5 minutes from the Six-Fours beach, which is a region rich in tourism. We are co-investing on this project with Rome Finance Group and Capital Evolution Group SAS. As of December 31, 2017, we own 2% of the project through an investment in shares of Society Louisette Memories SARL.

Evans, Colorado

The town of Evans is located in Weld County, 60 miles from Denver, Colorado. Evans has a growing economy fueled by large oil & gas companies, investors and agriculture. The technology, aerospace, construction, financial and health care sectors are also prominent in Evans with continued hiring and job opportunities. Job creation, strong population growth and a continued influx of new residents and businesses to the area have led to an increased demand for housing in Evans. According to the Department of Labor, Weld County has seen the strongest job growth of any county in the U.S. from June 2013 to June 2014, the last period for which data is available.

We acquired 220 acres (equivalent to 9,583,200 square feet of land) and 763 water rights in Evans. As of December 31, 2017, we have invested $6,717,876 in the property in Evans and have incurred an additional $2,518,008 in development costs. Beginning in 2018, ROI commenced its development of approximately 1,078 lots in approximately five phases. The project will entail developing the land infrastructure and obtaining necessary zoning for a mix of housing units, including single family homes, town homes, duplexes and condos. The Company also plans to develop lots for a community club house as well as commercial and retail areas. A new middle school was opened in fall of 2015 adjacent to the property and a new private hospital was constructed and opened in mid-2017, which are expected to further fuel demand for quality housing.

Sobha Hartland, Dubai, UAE

Sobha Hartland is a mixed-use development that is located in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City. It affords a full view of the Dubai skyline and it is conveniently located close to the metro, the water canal, in front of the Dubai Design District and only minutes from downtown via Al Khail artery road. This complete community offers high net worth residents of Dubai a chance to reduce their commuting drive from 20-25 km to 3 km or 5 minutes to downtown. Dubai is among the fastest growing cities in the world. It is a major financial center and business hub for the Middle East and Africa. Dubai’s economy is fueled by a number of industries including tourism, finance, industrial consulting and communication technologies.

We have partnered with Sobha LLC, a subsidiary of PNC Investments LLC (“PNC”), for this project. Sobha LLC is a large and fully integrated developer in the region having developed 450 projects in the Middle East and Europe. On February 7, 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiary, ROI Land Investments FZ, entered into a Development Sale and Purchase Agreement with PNC for the purchase of approximately 433,000 square feet of land in Sobha Hartland. The total acquisition price is $29,488,000 (AED 108,281,250). This project features three, eight-story buildings for a total of 300 units. Each building offers Dubai residents with a variety of luxurious housing options including studio apartments, 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, two bedroom duplexes and three bedroom duplexes.

On May 15, 2016, the Company received a termination letter from PNC terminating the agreement dated February 7, 2016 for non-payment of the amounts due under the agreement. As a result, the Company forfeited the $4,701,205 (AED 17,271,099) of deposits. A total of $5,048,032 (AED 18,545,258), including $346,827 (AED 1,273,583) of closing and development costs, has been charged to operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 as abandoned project costs. However, the Company is still in negotiations with PNC to acquire a reduced size and price of the land it had agreed to under the agreement dated February 7, 2016 and apply the deposits to this restructured arrangement. Negotiations are under way, but the likelihood that the Company will be successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement is dependent on its ability to pay at least a portion of the new acquisition price. As a result, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur as contemplated or at all. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company also incurred $273,048 of other costs related to the project and wrote-off leasehold improvements related to a lease in Dubai for an amount of $299,475. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company did not incur any additional costs relating to this project.

Swarovski Towers, Dubai, UAE

On December 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Design & Licensing Agreement with Swarovski Brand License AG (“Swarovski”) which provides the Company with an exclusive license to design and to develop the Swarovski Towers building in the Dubai (United Arab Emirates) territory. The Company plans to develop the world’s first luxury hotel and residential property revealing the exceptional standards of high-quality design and decor of the Swarovski brand. The Company is currently in discussions with project partners to achieve its plans to launch the project by the end of year 2018.

Compliance with Government Regulation

The development of the Company’s projects is, and will continue to be, subject to various domestic, foreign, state, local, and/or federal laws and zoning regulations. Such laws and regulations are subject to legislative or administrative change at any time. Any changes in such laws and regulations may have material adverse effects on the Company’s sales, cash flow and cash position. The Company may be required to comply with all various regulations in order to complete its projects. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Non-compliance may result in fines, sanctions or termination of the Company’s business in some localities, all of which will have material adverse effects on the Company’s sales, cash flow and cash position.

Intellectual Property

We have not filed for any protection of our name or “mark”; however, we intend to do so and shall strive to protect our proprietary financial model through available domestic and foreign laws.

Employees

We currently have seven full-time employees. We use the services of numerous consultants to provide day-to-day and project based duties.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Item 2. Properties

The Company leased an office in Stuttgart, Germany, which was approximately 1,100 square feet. The lease requires a monthly rental of $5,500 (EUR 5,056) and expired on June 30, 2016.

The lease expires on September 30, 2021, and requires a monthly rental of $1,159 (EUR 1,100) for the first year which increases to $1,201 (EUR 1,140) for the fifth year.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On August 6, 2015, Mrs. Gloria Julie Couillard and Tekno Forme (“Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint naming Coast to Coast Holding Ltd. (“CTC”), its President, ROI DEV, Philippe Germain and Sebastian Cliche as co-defendants claiming unpaid fees of $207,638. On September 2, 2015, a default judgement was served against CTC. CTC and its President are applying to set aside the default judgement against them and the Company is opposing the Plaintiff’s notice of Application. On October 9, 2015, the Plaintiff registered a lien on the Company’s Canadian properties in the amount of $207,638. On March 17, 2017, the Plaintiff agreed to release its judgment filed against the Company’s Canadian properties and removed its lien, in its entirety, registered on these properties.

On September 14, 2015, the Company received a notification from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) of a Request for Mediation, dated September 8, 2015, filed by Seth Shaw, pursuant to a mediation and arbitration clause contained in a Consulting Agreement allegedly entered into between the Company and Seth Shaw on May 1, 2014. The Company executed such agreement but believes that Seth Shaw failed to perform under said agreement. Mr. Shaw believes that the agreement is valid and in effect. The matter under dispute is 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A common stock which were to be issued to Mr. Shaw pursuant to such agreement. A certificate for such shares was issued but never delivered to Mr. Shaw, because the Company cancelled the Agreement for failure to perform. The Company cancelled the shares and recorded a liability for the then value of the shares of $175,000 which was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. The Company and Mr. Shaw met in mediation on February 22, 2016 with no resolution achieved. The parties then attended an arbitration evidentiary hearing on January 20, 2017 whereby a final arbitration award was issued on March 30, 2017 and subsequently a judgment was delivered by the United States District Court of Nevada on March 1, 2018 ruling that Mr. Shaw was entitled to recover $755,125 from the Company for breach of contract claim, $103,110 of legal fees and $3,625 in costs. On August 6, 2018, a Writ of Execution was issued to the US Marshal for the District of Nevada to enforce the judgment. Subsequent to such events, the officers of the Company and Mr. Shaw have engaged in continuing discussions with each other toward settlement of all outstanding matters between them. Mr. Shaw has voluntarily refrained from further enforcement action and the discussions with the Company are ongoing. The Company believes it will be able to eventually succeed in reaching voluntary arrangements for settlement of the outstanding judgment in favor of Mr. Shaw and to resume a mutually constructive and amicable business relationship. The Company has not revised the recorded liability of $250,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, as it still represents the best estimate of the possible outflows to settle this case.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, 1016566 B.C. Ltd. (“1016566 B.C.”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROI DEV, received a Notice of Civil Claim from Snaring River Holdings Ltd. dba Western Thermal & Demolition, a British Columbia construction subcontractor (“Snaring River”). 1016566 B.C. Ltd. is the record title owner of certain real property known as 1015-1050 Nalabila Boulevard, Kitimat, BC, Canada (the “ Kitimat Property”) and was acquired from CTC.. Snaring River claims to have performed work on the Property as a subcontractor for Intactus Corporation (“Inactus”), a Canadian corporation performing general contractor services, and Intactus allegedly was contracted by CTC to perform certain work on the Property. As a subcontractor on the Property, Snaring River filed and claimed certain rights pursuant to the British Columbia Lien Trust Law (“BCLTL”), comprising liens against the Property and claims to certain funds allegedly required to have been withheld in trust in its favor, pursuant to the BCLTL. Pursuant to such claims, Snaring River named 1016566 B.C. as a co-defendant with Intactus in Snaring River’s Notice of Civil Claim. Snaring River’s invoices for work at the Property were approximately $255,000 (CAD 320,000), without crediting any payments received. In a letter dated April 4, 2018, Snaring River claimed to add Company as a defendant in its Notice of Civil Claim by reason of Company’s indirect interest in the Property through intermediary subsidiaries. The Company does not believe (i) that the Company has derivative liability to Snaring River on account of actions/inactions of its subsidiary or affiliate entities, (ii) that the Company has direct liability to Snaring River, (iii) that Snaring River’s legal conclusions are supported by case law, or (iv) that the facts will support Snaring River’s allegations against the Company. Moreover, the Company does not believe Snaring River’s Notice of Civil Claim can or will prevail against 1016566 B.C. and has not recorded any liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.

On September 18, 2018, the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) commenced an administrative proceeding, In the Matter of Avant Diagnostics, Inc., et al., (File No. 3-18784), in which it seeks, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to revoke the registration of each class of securities of Respondent (ROI Land Investments, Ltd.) that are registered pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12. The basis alleged for the proceeding was the Company’s delinquent period filings and period reporting with the SEC. At this time the Enforcement Division of the SEC has joined in a joint motion with the Company to stay the administrative proceeding pending signing and submission of a proposed settlement in which the Company will consent to the entry of an order revoking the registration of such securities. The Company intends to enter into consent without admitting or denying the findings contained in the order, except as to the SEC’s jurisdiction.

Market Information

As the Company is a “smaller reporting company,” it is not required to provide the performance graph required in paragraph (e) of Item 201 of Regulation S-K.

Our Series A common stock is not listed on an established public trading market, but is quoted by the OTC Markets Group, Inc., in the non-NASDAQ over the counter market. The symbol for our common stock is ROII. The following table sets forth the closing prices, for the fiscal quarters indicated, as quoted by OTC Markets Group, Inc., and reflects inter-dealer prices, without retail mark up, mark down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s common stock was held by 198 shareholders of record.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, and 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of which 160,000,000 shares are Series A voting common stock and 40,000,000 shares are Series B non-voting common stock.

As of December 31, 2017, 53,501,846 shares of Series A common stock were issued and no shares of Series B common stock was issued. The holders of our common stock:

	•	have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors;

	•	are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;

•

do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and

The holders of Series A common stock are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote while holders of Series B common stock have no voting rights.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock were held of record by two and 14 shareholders, respectively.

The Series A preferred stock is identical to the common stock of the Company, except that each share of the 200,000 Series A Preferred Stock has 150 votes per share instead of the one vote per share of the Series A common stock.

The Series B preferred stock is identical to the Company’s common stock, except that each share of the Series B preferred stock has the following features:

(1)

The Series B preferred stock shall not be convertible into the Company’s common stock unless and until (i) a class of the Company's capital stock commences trading upon the U.S. NASDAQ trading system (the "NASDAQ Uplisting"), or (ii) the Company notifies the holders of the Series B preferred stock that their shares may be converted into common stock (whether or not the NASDAQ Uplisting has then yet occurred); after which time the Series B preferred stock shall be convertible as and to the extent set forth below.

(2)	When any shares of Series B preferred stock are converted into common stock, they shall be converted at the rate of three (3) shares of common stock for the "Effective Value" (defined below) of each of the Series B preferred stock.

(3)

The Series B preferred stock shall accumulate dividends at the rate of 8% per annum, prorated for partial years, such that, at the time of its conversion, every share of Series B preferred stock shall convert at a rate (the "Effective Value") computed by adding to it the cumulative value of its accumulated dividends. For example, if ten shares of the Series B preferred stock have been held for two years and six months, when they are converted into common stock they each will have an Effective Value of 1.20 shares, and collectively an Effective Value of 12 shares. Since each share of Series B preferred stock converts into three shares of common stock, all ten shares will convert into 36 shares of common stock. Upon conversion, no fractional shares of common stock shall be issued, but rather fractional common stock shares shall be settled in cash.

(4)

If the purchaser of Series B preferred stock is an existing holder of the common stock, then the Company may at its discretion extend to any such purchaser the option to pay for some or all of the purchase price of the Series B preferred stock by means of submitting to the Company to be held in treasury some of such holder's shares of common stock, at a valuation to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in their sole but reasonable discretion.

We refer you to our Amended Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.

The Company’s transfer agent is Empire Stock & Transfer Agency of Henderson, Nevada.

Dividend Policy

We have not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends.

Penny Stock

Our common stock is considered to be a "penny stock" under the rules the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:

	·	contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

	·	contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

	·	contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

	·	defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:

	·	bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

	·	the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the marker for such stock; and

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

In addition, the penny stock rules that require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

Related Stockholder Matters

None.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had interest income arising from loans receivable from FL2 of $43,433. There was no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Operating Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2017 our total operating expenses were $6,714,271 compared to $17,232,985 for the year ended December 31, 2016 resulting in a decrease by approximately $10.5 million. The decrease in operating expenses primarily resulted from a substantial decrease in consulting fees, professional fees and travel expenses by a total of approximately $5.3 million achieved through our cost rationalization initiatives beginning from mid-2017 and in avoiding losses from abandoned projects (Sobha Hartland Dubai) such as the $5.6 million loss incurred in fiscal 2016.

Other income and expenses consisted of interest expense of $2,712,398, foreign currency transaction losses of $924,223 in fiscal year 2017 and a change in fair value of derivative liability amounting to $37,000, whereas we reported interest expense of $2,174,615 and foreign currency transaction gains of $198,116 in fiscal year 2016. The increase in interest expense was mainly related to accretion interest from an out-of-period adjustment.

As a result, net loss was $10,344,459 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $19,209,484 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Historically, we have financed our cash flow and operations from the sale of common stock and issuance of notes payable. Our principal use of funds during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was for the funding of development of existing projects and general corporate expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016

As of December 31, 2017, we had cash of $2,129,740 and a deficit in working capital of $29,306,118. We used cash in operations of approximately $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to cash used in operations of approximately $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 is mostly attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of approximately $10.3 million, net change in working capital of approximately $1.9 million, partially offset by stock issued for services of $1.1 million, impairment loss recognized on the Beauport project of approximately $1.0 million and unrealized foreign exchange loss of approximately $0.9 million. Cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 was attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of approximately $19.2 million and unrealized foreign exchange gain of approximately $0.6 million, partially offset by abandoned project cost of approximately $5.6 million, stock-based compensation of approximately $2.3 million, provision for loan losses related to the British Columbia (Canada) projects of approximately $0.5 million.

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 was approximately $4.9 million which consisted of loans receivable from FL2 while there was no cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 was approximately $14.8 million which mostly consisted of approximately $6.2 million from deposits received for notes payable subscriptions, approximately $5.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of a mortgage note payable, approximately $1.5 million in deposits for Series B preferred stock issuable, approximately $1.7 million in contributions from non-controlling interest holders and approximately $1.1 million in net proceeds from loans payable (including loans from related parties), which were partially offset by approximately $1.6 million in payments on mortgage notes and loans. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 consisted primarily of approximately $3.8 million from the issuance of common stock, net of cash issuance costs, approximately $3.4 million from the issuance of a mortgage note payable and approximately $2.2 million of deposits received for notes payable subscriptions.

We will require additional funds to fully implement our plans. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in the dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. We currently do not have any guaranteed arrangements for additional financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing, a successful marketing and promotion program and, further in the future, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, or issuing additional notes payable, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred net losses of $10,344,459 and $19,209,484 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $47,032,256. The Company has a deficit in working capital of $29,306,118 as of December 31, 2017 and used cash in operations of $8,324,294 for the year ended December 31, 2017. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources to be used for operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements. Our financial position and results of operations may be materially different when reported under different conditions or when using different assumptions in the application of such policies. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.

We believe the following critical accounting policies govern our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Reserve for Loan Losses

The Company maintains its reserve for loans losses account for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its borrowers to meet their payment obligations. Management determines whether an allowance needs to be provided for an amount due from a borrower depending on the aging of its receivables, recent payment history, contractual terms and other qualitative factors. The amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.1 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

To determine if the Company holds a controlling financial interest in an entity, the Company first evaluates the need to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity, otherwise the entity is evaluated under the voting interest model. A VIE is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against our general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on our general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.

Income Taxes

The Company applies ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a valuation allowance of $ 15.4 million. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

The Company applies ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions. This interpretation requires that an entity recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company’s accounting policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if and when required, as interest expense and a component of other expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.

U.S. federal income tax reform legislation, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was signed into law on December 22, 2017 (the “Tax Reform Bill”) which reduces the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. In December 2017 the SEC staff issued guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Reform Bill. The guidance provides that the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Reform Bill for which the Company’s accounting for income taxes is complete must be reflected in the current period and allows for reporting provisional amounts during a measurement period until the evaluation is complete. The Company management believes that the tax effects of these provisions do not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective useful lives and, along with other long-lived assets, are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying amounts may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, including finite-lived intangibles and property and equipment, the Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-15. To the extent that estimated future undiscounted cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future undiscounted cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value. Assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan of disposal, whether through sale or abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

Asset recoverability is an area involving management judgment, requiring assessment as to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the undiscounted future cash flows. In calculating the future cash flows, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters such as revenue growth rates, gross margin percentages and terminal growth rates.

During fiscal year 2017, due to its continued difficulties with completing the zoning conversion for the Beauport project the Company determined that it would not be able to develop the acquired land in the foreseeable future. Based on the revised forecast for the project, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $972,097 (CAD 1,252,000) for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Stock Based Compensation

We measure stock compensation expenses in connection with our share-based awards based on the estimated value of the awards on the date of grant and recognize them as compensation expenses over the service period for such awards expected to vest. Therefore, we only recognize compensation cost for those awards expected to vest over the service of the award.

The fair value of stock awards is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock and fair value of share options is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model. We estimate the volatility of our shares on the date of grant utilizing either the historical volatility of our publicly-traded shares or the price of shares sold to investors when determined to be more reliable. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based on rates in effect for United States government bonds with terms similar to the expected terms of the stock options, at the time of grant. We estimate the expected terms by taking into account the contractual terms and historical exercise patterns. The estimated number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amount will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Changes in our estimates and assumptions may cause us to realize material changes in share-based compensation expenses in the future.

Profit Participation Liability

The Company’s Beauport Series A and Series D notes contain a premium payment to the noteholders on each sale of the Beauport project in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the noteholder’s pro rata share of the total net profit on each parcel of the Beauport project sold. The potential profit in the Beauport project was estimated to be approximately $1.2 million, based on management’s best estimates at inception of the notes, of which $197,146 was the pro rata share of the Beauport Series A and D noteholders and was recorded as a profit participation liability, embedded within the notes. As of December 31, 2016, management revised the estimated profit for the project to be approximately $0.9 million and the balance of profit participation liability was adjusted to $122,718. In fiscal year 2017, due to its continued difficulties with completing the zoning conversion the Company determined that it would not be able to develop the acquired land in the foreseeable future. The Company will continue its discussions with the appropriate authorities to expedite the timing of zoning conversion, however at the same time has started discussions with potential partners and buyers to take over some or all of its interest in the project. Based on the revised forecast for the project, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $972,097 and reversed the $122,718 profit participation liability to interest income during the year ended December 31, 2017 given lower expected profit for the project primarily due to reduced level of developable lots based on new developments in the discussions with the local municipality.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13(a)-15(e)/15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of December 31, 2017, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon the results of that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and do not provide reasonable assurance that material information related to our Company required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions on required disclosure.

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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

	·	Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

	·	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 based upon the framework in Internal Control –Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, the Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, management identified the following material weaknesses at December 31, 2017:

	1.	Lack of oversight by independent directors in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;

	2.	Lack of functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;

	3.	Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting and lack of experienced personnel to deal with complex accounting issues;

Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures:

	·	The Company intends to add additional independent directors to the board and appoint an audit committee.

	·	The Company intends to hire additional accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements.

Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company intends to develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures.

The additional hiring is contingent upon the Company’s efforts to obtain additional funding through equity or debt for its continued operational activities and corporate expenses. During fiscal year 2017, the Company hired one full-time senior accountant to assist the Chief Financial Officer with day-to-day bookkeeping and reporting, however, the Company continues to experience high turnover in personnel within its accounting and finance department.

We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls are a continuing work in progress. However, remediation of any known deficiency is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation described above during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Nevada Corporation Law allows for the indemnification of officers, directors, and any corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses, incurred arising under the 1933 Act. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law and such right to indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and Consultants; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company will not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred will include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.

The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company similar to those conferred to directors and officers of the Company. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses are subject to the requirements of the 1933 Act to the extent applicable.

Furthermore, the Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another company against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Nevada General Corporation Law.

Significant Employees and Consultants

We have three officers who are an employees of the Company. The remaining officers and directors are contractors/consultants to the Company.

Conflicts of Interest

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is its early development stage company and has only three directors, and to date, such three directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest of our executive officers and directors.

There are no legal proceedings that have occurred since our incorporation concerning our directors which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one's participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We believe that we are responsive to stockholder communications, and therefore have not considered it necessary to adopt a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder require the Company's Executive Officers and Directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission and to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it and written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that, during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, all of its Executive Officers, Directors, and 10% stockholders complied with the filing requirements applicable to them.

Risk Assessment of Compensation Program

In August 2015, management assessed our compensation program for the purpose of reviewing and considering any risks presented by our compensation policies and practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

As part of that assessment, management reviewed the primary elements of our compensation program, including base salary, annual short-term incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and severance arrangements. Management's risk assessment included a review of the overall design of each primary element of our compensation program, and an analysis of the various design features, controls and approval rights in place with respect to compensation paid to management and other employees that mitigate potential risks to us that could arise from our compensation program.

Following the assessment, management determined that our compensation policies and practices did not create risks that were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us and reported the results of the assessment to the Compensation Committee.

Employment Agreements

Effective August 1, 2015, we entered into Consulting Agreements with each of the Company’s then three officers (Sami Chaouch, Philippe Germain and Sebastien Cliche). The agreement may be terminated by either party with or without cause, provided that we must provide 90-days’ notice if we terminate the agreement without cause. Under each consulting agreement, the officer is entitled to a base salary of $300,000 per year and a cash bonus equal to 1.25% of EBITDA as determined by management based on the year-end audited financial statements of the Company. Additionally, each officer was granted non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which 2,000,000 shares is equal to 10.0 percent of the total number of shares which may be issued under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. Subsequent grants will be determined by the Board. In the event the Company terminates an officer’s consulting agreement without “cause” the Company has agreed to pay him a lump-sum severance amount equal to (1) three years of base salary, plus (2) the greater of (a) the annual cash bonus for the year of termination and (b) the highest bonus paid in the preceding three years. If the officer is terminated by the Company without cause within 36 months after a change in control then the shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the foregoing termination payment, an amount equal to his average annual compensation during the three years preceding the tax year in which the date of termination occurs, multiplied by two.

During 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Martin Scholz whereby Mr. Scholz is entitled to a base salary of $50,000 per month, a one-time signing bonus of $15,000, non-qualified stock options, to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock, vesting over a three-year period. The agreement also provides for additional non-qualified stock options, to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock, to be granted each quarter over the duration of the agreement vesting over a three-year period. In November 2016, Mr. Scholz’s agreement was retroactively amended to be in a form of an employment agreement with the same terms as the original consulting agreement in order to satisfy local labor regulations in Germany.

Effective February 1, 2017, we entered into a consulting agreement with Stéphane Boivin. Under the terms of this agreement, Mr. Boivin is entitled to a base salary of $300,000 per year, of which 50% shall be deferred until the completion of the Colorado project financing. This agreement is valid over a two-year period unless earlier terminated based on the provisions in the agreement . In February 2018, Mr. Boivin resigned from his positions as the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Operating Officer as well as from his directorship positions held in the Company’s subsidiaries, namely ROI DEV Canada Inc., ROI Securitisation SA and ROI Land Investments FZ. Mr. Boivin also owns 49% of ROI Technical Services (“ROI Tech”), a Dubai corporation, which is party to an office lease agreement in Dubai.

Effective August 10, 2017, we entered into a consulting agreement with Yuhi Horiguchi. Under the terms of this agreement, compensation for Mr. Horiguchi is $13,600 (CAD 18,000) per year. This agreement is valid over a one-year period unless earlier terminated based on the provisions in the agreement.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or directors.

Director Independence

We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Our determination of independence of directors is made using the definition of “independent director” contained in Rule 4200(a) (15) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), even though such definitions do not currently apply to us because we are not listed on NASDAQ. We have determined that none of our directors currently meets the definition of “independent” as within the meaning of such rules as a result of their current positions as our executive officers.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

On May 18, 2017, the Company entered into a Termination, General Release and Settlement Agreement with Sami Chaouch, the Company’s former Chairman and CEO (resigned May 18, 2017), whereby the Company releases Mr. Chaouch from all outstanding claims from and obligations to the Company upon satisfaction of he following conditions: a) immediate termination from all agreements (except for a life insurance policy in favor of Mr. Chaouch) between the Company, including the resignation from his positions as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and b) return and cancellation of all Series A preferred stock (100,000 shares) owned by Mr. Chaouch. This agreement also entitles Mr. Chaouch to receive 1,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, valued at $1.00 per share, upon signing and to remain as beneficiary for a corporate life insurance policy in favor of Mr. Chaouch.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of ROI Land Investments Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ROI Land Investments Ltd. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception, has a working capital deficiency and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and to sustain its operations. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 1 – Business and Going Concern (Continued)

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources to be used for operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, as necessary.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ROI Land Investments Ltd. and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, ROI DEV Canada Inc., 1016566 B.C. Ltd., 93391993 Quebec Inc., 9497846 Canada Inc. (dissolved April 2018), ROI Land Investments FZ, ROI Land Investments AG (until dissolution in May 2017), ROI Securitisation SA and of a variable interest entity (VIE), ROI Land Colorado et New York Soho (a French-registered limited partnership) (“ROI SCA”). ROI SCA is a limited partnership by share in which ROI DEV is the general partner and manager. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain items on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

Out-of-period Adjustment

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company identified and recorded an immaterial error related to the bifurcation of a derivative on the Beauport Convertible Notes Payable. Upon issuance of the notes, a derivate would be bifurcated from the notes payable and subsequently be adjusted to its fair value at the end of each reporting period. A corresponding discount on the notes payable would have been recorded when the notes were issued and accreted back to their face value over the original term of the notes.

Accordingly, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment for the derivative for the period related to fiscal years 2014 through 2016 and recognized a derivative liability of $589,000 on the consolidated balance sheet, a change in fair value of derivative liability of $23,000 (favorable) and accretion interest of $452,000 in the consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a change in fair value of derivative liability of $60,000 (unfavorable) and an additional accretion interest of $160,000, resulting in a derivative liability of $649,000 as of December 31, 2017 and the notes payable being accreted back to their face value.

The Company assessed the materiality of this adjustment and concluded the adjustment was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements of the current period or of any previous period since inception of these notes.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances for deferred income taxes, contingencies, profit participation liability as well as the recording and presentation of its common stock and related stock option issuances. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash in bank accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

Intangible asset

The Company’s design and licensing agreement with Swarovski is recorded as intangible assets and is subject to amortization using the straight-line method over the duration of the agreement, or over 12 years.

Depreciable Assets

Depreciable assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 included website setup costs and office furniture which are recorded at cost under other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Leasehold improvements in Dubai were fully impaired during fiscal year 2016 (Refer to Note 5). Amortization expense of $12,973 and $12,615 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, on these depreciable assets were computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives as follows:

Website setup

5 years

Office furniture

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:

Level 1 - fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 - fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Convertible Instruments

U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options and certain other features from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP. The Company has recorded a derivative liability of $649,000 as of December 31, 2017 (2016: $-0-) related to certain notes payable (Refer to Note 2, Out-of-period Adjustment).

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of the conversion options embedded in the debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The Company has not recorded any beneficial conversion feature as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 as the embedded conversion options in its notes payable do not meet the firm commitment criterion as described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

Equity

Common stock and preferred stock represent the par value of the total number of shares issued by the Company. If shares are issued when options and warrants are exercised, the common stock account also comprises the compensation costs previously recorded as additional paid-in-capital. If shares are issued upon the exercise of the conversion option related to the convertible instruments, the common stock account also comprises the equity component of the convertible instruments.

F- 12

ROI Land Investments Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Additional paid-in-capital includes charges related to the fair value of share options and warrants until such equity instruments are exercised, in which case the amounts are transferred to common stock. If convertible instruments are not exercised at the expiry of the convertible instruments, the equity component of the convertible instrument is transferred to additional paid-in-capital.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss comprises foreign currency translation difference arising form the translation of financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in U.S. dollar. Deficit includes all current and prior losses.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets according to ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. ASC 360 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the disposal of business segments and major lines of business. Long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. The Company has recorded an impairment loss during year ended December 31, 2017 on its Beauport project (Refer to Note 5).

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share- based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company treats stock-based transactions with its non-employee directors as if they were employees.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Any stock options or warrants issued to non- employees are recorded in expense and additional paid-in capital in shareholders' equity (deficit) over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options or warrants at the end of each period.

The Company issues common stock to consultants for various services. The costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of such common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. The Company recognizes a consulting expense and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to common stock issued for services.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements as carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has not filed any United States tax returns since inception and may be subject to failure-to-file penalties. The Company estimates that the amount of penalties, if any, will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. No provisions have been made in the consolidated financial statements for such penalties, if any.

The Company intends to prepare and file overdue United States federal tax returns through fiscal year 2017, which are anticipated to be completed and filed by mid fiscal 2019. The Company also files annual tax returns in Canada and Germany for ROI DEV, in Canada for 1016566 B.C. Ltd., 93391993 Quebec Inc. and 9497846 Canada Inc., and in Luxembourg for ROI SEC. ROI DEV has filed its tax returns in Canada through 2017 and plans to complete its 2017 tax returns in Germany by the end of fiscal year 2018. 1016566 B.C. Ltd., 9497846 Canada Inc. and ROI SEC intend to complete and to file their respective 2017 tax returns by the end of fiscal year 2018.

Revenue Recognition

The development time of our properties is generally more than one year from when development of the property begins, although some properties may take less than one year to complete. Revenues and cost of revenues from these property sales are recorded at the time each property parcel is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer.

Income from the sales of mortgage notes receivable are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method.

Interest income on notes and loans receivable are recognized when earned per the terms of the applicable agreements.

Mortgage Notes and Loans Receivable

Mortgage notes and loans receivable are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms. Management assesses the credit quality of the portfolio and adequacy of loan loss reserves on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment of management is required in this analysis. We consider the estimated net recoverable value of the estimated net recoverable value as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the quality and financial condition of the borrower and the competitive situation of the area where the underlying collateral is located. Because this determination may be based on projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amount ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. If upon completion of the assessment, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the net carrying value of the debt investment, a loan loss reserve is recorded with a corresponding charge to provision for loan losses. The loan loss reserve for each debt investment will be maintained at a level that is determined to be adequate by management to absorb probable losses.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income recognition will be suspended for a debt investment at the earlier of the date at which payments become past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired debt investment is in doubt, all payments will be applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired debt investment is not in doubt, contractual interest will be recorded as interest income when received, under the cash basis method, until an accrual is resumed when the debt investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A debt investment will be written off when it is no longer realizable or is legally discharged.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars. The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of the Company and ROI FZ, the Canadian Dollar is the functional currency of ROI DEV, 9497846 Canada Inc., 93391993 Quebec Inc. and 1016566 B.C., while the Euro is the functional currency of ROI SEC and ROI SCA. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Company’s functional currency, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items denominated in foreign currency at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost using the exchange rates at the transaction date, except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

Foreign Operations

On consolidation, assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated based on the exchange rates as of the consolidated balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are accumulated as a component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive income.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) and its components in its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net loss.

As of December 31, 2017, the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Canadian Dollar was U.S. $1.00 = CAD 1.2554, and the average exchange rate for the year then ended was U.S. $1.00 = CAD 1.2879. As of December 31, 2016, the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Canadian Dollar was U.S. $1.00 = CAD 1.3467, and the average exchange rate for the year then ended was U.S. $1.00 = CAD 1.3245.

As of December 31, 2017, the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Euro was U.S. $1.00 = EUR 0.8348, and the average exchange rate for the year then ended was U.S. $1.00 = EUR 0.8917. As of December 31, 2016, the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Euro was U.S. $1.00 = EUR 0.9492, and the average exchange rate for the year then ended was U.S. $1.00 = EUR 0.9035.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share", which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were $4,445,479 and $4,745,479 of convertible notes payable which are convertible at a 10% discount to the market price of our common stock and convertible into approximately 35,282,000 shares and 52,728,000 shares, respectively. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were 6,443,259 and 10,118,259 stock options outstanding, respectively. However, these potentially dilutive shares are considered to be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the calculation of loss per share.

Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”). The guidance permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of tax reform to retained earnings, giving entities the option to reclassify these amounts rather than require reclassification. The FASB also gave entities the option to apply the guidance retrospectively or in the period of adoption. When adopted, the standard requires all entities to make new disclosures, regardless of whether they elect to reclassify stranded amounts. Entities are required to disclose whether or not they elected to reclassify the tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as well as their policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are able to early adopt the guidance in any interim or annual period for which financial statements have not yet been issued and apply it either (1) in the period of adoption or (2) retrospectively to each period in which the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 related to items in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”. The guidance amends the hedge accounting model in ASC 815 to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. The amendments expand an entity’s ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. This ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, entities will apply the new guidance using a modified retrospective approach (i.e., with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date). The guidance provides transition relief to make it easier for entities to apply certain amendments to existing hedges (including fair value hedges) where the hedge documentation needs to be modified. The presentation and disclosure requirements apply prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): “Scope of Modification Accounting”. ASU 2017-09 amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The guidance requires modification accounting only if the fair value, vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of a change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU N2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): “Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, that clarifies the definition of a business for entities that must determine whether a business has been acquired or sold. The amendment is intended to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): “Restricted Cash”, that requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): “Interests Held through Related Parties that are under Common Control”, that amends the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) by changing how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a VIE treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory”, that requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This amendment eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted in the first interim period and the amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, that amends the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments, to reduce the diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, that requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected and requires that credit losses from available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance for credit losses. This new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The purpose of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of such activity on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. Prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective application may be used dependent on the specific requirements of the amendments within ASU 2016-09. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09. Excess income tax benefits or deficiencies related to share based awards are now recognized as discrete items in the income statement during the period in which they occur. This change has been applied on a prospective basis. As such, prior periods have not been adjusted. Furthermore, the Company has elected to continue to estimate forfeitures for share-based awards. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10)”, which updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): “Deferral of Effective Date”, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. ASU 2014-09 may be applied using either a full retrospective approach, under which all years included in the financial statements will be presented under the revised guidance, or a modified retrospective approach, under which financial statements will be prepared under the revised guidance for the year of adoption, but not for prior years. Under the latter method, entities will recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the effective date for contracts that still require performance by the entity, and disclose all line items in the year of adoption as if they were prepared under the old revenue guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard but does not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 4 – Notes and Loans Receivable

On June 17, 2014, ROI DEV entered into a Framework Agreement with Coast to Coast Holdings Ltd. (“CTC”), a Canadian Construction corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, ROI DEV will provide funding to CTC in the form of notes payable and mortgage notes payable for property development projects, and provide financial and real estate advisory services, for a period of up to ten years. ROI DEV has the right to make the loan or not and each individual loan will be evidenced by its own promissory note with terms agreed upon by the parties. The Framework Agreement was terminated as of December 31, 2014.

Mortgage notes receivable and notes receivable due from CTC consisted of the following as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:

Mortgage Notes Receivable

During fiscal year 2015, the Company had a mortgage note receivable outstanding with CTC for $154,994 (CAD 215,000). The note bears interest at 8% per annum and was due on the earlier of (i) December 30, 2015 or (ii) the date upon which the subject property is sold by CTC. The mortgage note was in default at December 31, 2015; however, it was collateralized by a mortgage on the property. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, $-0- of interest receivable was accrued on the loan. During fiscal year 2016, CTC defaulted on the mortgage note and therefore the note receivable was impaired. Management believes that the recoverability of this amount is less than probable. The Company initiated the process to activate the mortgage and seize the underlying land. While the Company believes that it will successfully hold ownership of the subject property, there is no probable assurance regarding the timing of such outcome. Therefore, the subject property has not been recorded as real estate under development and sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

During fiscal year 2015, the Company assumed a second mortgage note due to a related party by CTC and CTC agreed to reimburse the Company for the full amount of the mortgage and accrued interest due thereon. The loan bears interest at 6% per annum and was due April 13, 2016. The amount of the mortgage loan due from CTC at December 31, 2015 was $288,360 (CAD 400,000) and $16,718 of interest receivable was accrued on the loan. During fiscal year 2016, CTC defaulted on the mortgage note and therefore the note receivable was impaired. Management believes that the recoverability of this amount is less than probable. The Company initiated the process to activate the mortgage and seize the underlying land. While the Company believes that it will successfully hold ownership of the subject property, there is no probable assurance regarding the timing of such outcome. Therefore, the subject property has not been recorded as real estate under development and sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Note 5 – Real Estate Held For Development And Sale (Continued)

Beauport, QC

On March 24, 2014, the Company’s wholly-owned Subsidiary, ROI DEV, executed a Definitive Agreement for the purchase of land from 9284-0784 Québec Inc. The land consists of 1,971,000 square feet in suburban Quebec and is known as the “Beauport Project”. Per the terms of the Agreement, the total cost of the purchase was $5,085,210 (CAD 5,913,723), of which $257,970 (CAD 300,000) was tendered upon execution as a firm initial deposit, with the remaining balance of $4,827,240 (CAD 5,613,723) was to be paid on or before June 1, 2014. As the balances were not paid by June 1, 2014, the Company and 9284-0784 Quebec Inc. agreed to extend the due date and the Company paid additional deposits totaling $730,915 (CAD 850,000) and fees to extend the payment date of the transaction of $201,827 (CAD 234,709), which have been capitalized as part of the cost of the project.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, due to its continued difficulties with completing the zoning conversion the Company determined that it would not be able to develop the acquired land in the foreseeable future. The Company will continue its discussions with the appropriate authorities to expedite the timing of zoning conversion, however at the same time has started discussions with potential partners and buyers to take over some or all of its interest in the project. Based on the revised forecast for the project, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $972,097 (CAD 1,252,000), resulting in a balance in the project of $4,071,993 (CAD 5,111,780) at December 31, 2017.

All series of the notes contain provisions that allow for a) pro rata prepayments of the notes by the Company in the event of sales of parcels of the Beauport Property, b) a call option by the Company to prepay the note at any time prior to the six month anniversary of the closing date of the note which includes a 15% premium in the form of the Company’s common stock, and c) an option of the noteholder to convert the note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 10% discount to the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the thirty days’ trading period preceding the date of conversion. The Company recorded a derivative liability of $649,000 as of December 31, 2017 in relation to the noteholder option.

The Company also has the option to extend the maturity date of the notes up to a period of 18 months.

For the Series A and Series D notes only, the noteholders have an option to call for immediate redemption in full or in part by the Company at a price which the Company shall reasonably determine as being the “fair market value” of the applicable note. As these notes can be immediately redeemable at the option of the noteholder, they have been classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The convertible notes are collateralized by the Beauport property acquired by ROI DEV and contain certain financial and other covenants. As a result of the Company’s going concern disclosure it was unable to remain in compliance with a covenant, however, on April 27, 2015, the Company received written consent of waiver of this default from the required noteholders (greater than 50% of the noteholders in principal amount pari passu) and the applicable covenant was removed to ensure it will not be triggered in the future. As such, the amount representing the long-term portion of the notes payable, net of discounts, of $2,995,479 and $3,116,547 has been classified as noncurrent liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On August 22, 2017, the Company sent a written notice to all of its convertible note holders to notify them that the Company shall execute its option to extend the maturity date of the convertible notes by an additional 18 months.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary ROI DEV, acts as general partner and manager to a French-registered limited partnership under the name ROI Land Colorado et New York Soho (“ROI SCA”). ROI SCA is determined to be a VIE and the Company is required to consolidate the accounts of ROI SCA even though it has no shares in the limited partnership by shares since the general partner cannot be easily removed from the limited partnership and is entitled to 70% of net earnings of ROI SCA. Under the limited partnership agreement, ROI DEV, as the general partner, is also required to redeem the shares held by the limited partners, upon their requests, at a value above their initial purchase price (EUR 12.66) starting from the third year.

In August 2016, in connection with Slim Feriani’s resignation as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, the Company also canceled its agreement with GCA. $234,105 of consulting fees remained outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

In February 2016, the Company received a total of $1,500,000 from Alternative Strategy Partners Pte. Ltd., a Singapore limited company (“ASP”), in connection with the Company’s Dubai Sobha Hartland Acquisition and Development Project (“Sobha Dubai Project”). Pursuant to an agreement between the parties dated February 24, 2016, the Company agreed to issue to ASP certain notes (“ASP notes”) which shall have a two year maturity, bear interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly and have a mortgage on the First Plot of the Sobha Dubai Project, subordinated to loans from banks or other institutional lenders, if such a lien is determined to be valid and enforceable under Dubai law, otherwise, the notes shall be secured by a lien, similarly subordinated, upon all of the stock of the ROI Land Investments Ltd., the beneficial owner of the Sobha Dubai Project. The ASP notes also contain an option either to convert all or part of its notes to the Company’s Series A common stock at $1.00 per share or to redeem all or part of its investment. Additionally, the ASP notes allowed ASP to receive certain profit participation of up to 50% of the net profits upon sale of the First Plot. On May 15, 2016, the Company received a termination letter from PNC terminating the agreement dated February 7, 2016 for non-payment of the amounts due under the agreement. As a result, the Company forfeited the deposits paid to PNC and defaulted on the ASP notes. The Company is currently in discussions with ASP to amend the terms of the notes. $399,219 and $279,219 of accrued interest and fees remain outstanding on the notes as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. On August 2, 2017, the Company also entered into a loan agreement with ASP which allows the Company to draw up to $300,000 at a 6% annual interest maturing on February 1, 2018. The loan balance as of December 31, 2017 was $200,000 and accrued interest of $3,468 was outstanding. ASP is an entity owned by Yuhi Horiguchi, the Company’s CFO. During fiscal years 2017, total compensation paid to Mr. Horiguchi was $40,000.

Authorized Capital

On November 12, 2015, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized capital to 160,000,000 authorized shares of Series A Common Stock at $0.0001 par value, 40,000,000 authorized shares of Series B Common Stock at $0.0001 par value, and 50,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock at par value of $0.0001 per share. Series A common stock has equal voting rights, is non-assessable and has one vote per share while Series B common stock has no voting rights. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

Preferred Stock

Series A Preferred Stock

On May 9, 2016, the Company issued 100,000 shares each of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to two directors, in exchange for their 100,000 shares each of the Company’s Series A common stock. No additional consideration was provided to the Company for the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is identical to the common stock of the Company, except that each share of the 200,000 Series A Preferred Stock has 150 votes per share instead of the one vote per share of the Series A Common Stock.

On May 18, 2017, the Company cancelled 100,000 shares of the Series A preferred stock held by Sami Chaouch upon his resignation as Director and Chief Executive Officer and his surrender of said shares. On October 3, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the re-issuance of the 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Martin Scholz, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for services rendered.

Series B Preferred Stock

The Series B Preferred Stock is identical to the Series A common stock of ROI, except that each share of the Series B Preferred Stock has the following features:

(1) The Series B Preferred Shares shall not be convertible into the Company’s common stock unless and until (i) a class of the Company's capital stock commences trading upon the U.S. NASDAQ trading system (the "NASDAQ Uplisting"), or (ii) the Company notifies the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares that their shares may be converted into common stock (whether or not the NASDAQ Uplisting has then yet occurred); after which time the Series B Preferred Shares shall be convertible as and to the extent set forth below.

(2) When any shares of Series B Preferred Shares are converted into common stock, they shall be converted at the rate of three (3) shares of common stock for the "Effective Value" (defined below) of each of the Series B Preferred Shares.

(3) The Series B Preferred Shares shall accumulate dividends at the rate of 8% per annum, prorated for partial years, such that, at the time of its conversion, every share of Series B Preferred Shares shall convert at a rate (the "Effective Value") computed by adding to it the cumulative value of its accumulated dividends. For example, if ten shares of the Series B Preferred Shares have been held for two years and six months, when they are converted into common stock they each will have an Effective Value of 1.20 shares, and collectively an Effective Value of 12 shares. Since each share of Series B Preferred Shares converts into three shares of common stock, all ten shares will convert into 36 shares of common stock. Upon conversion, no fractional shares of common stock shall be issued, but rather fractional common stock shares shall be settled in cash.

(4) If the purchaser of Series B Preferred Shares is an existing holder of the common stock, then the Company may at its discretion extend to any such purchaser the option to pay for some or all of the purchase price of the Series B Preferred Shares by means of submitting to the Company to be held in treasury some of such holder's shares of common stock, at a valuation to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in their sole but reasonable discretion.

The cash received from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock will be used for working capital purposes and the Company’s common stock received will be held in treasury and used for future option exercises or upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received from 9 accredited investors 1,008,930 shares of the Company’s Series A common stock held by them plus $219,768 in cash in exchange for the future issuance of a total of 1,008,930 shares of a class of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued to 14 accredited investors a total of 1,889,226 shares of Series B Preferred Stock against receipt from them of 1,889,226 shares of the Company’s Series A common stock held by them, plus $377,999 in cash.

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company received a total of $1,542,000 and $573,915, respectively, in deposits from investors which shall be exchanged for 1,542,000 shares and 1,129,556 shares, respectively, of Series B preferred stock to be newly issued. These shares were not yet issued by the Company as of December 31, 2017.

On May 18, 2017, in connection with the Company’s settlement agreement with Sami Chaouch, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock, however, the Company has not yet issued these shares as of December 31, 2017. These shares were valued at an average price of $1.00 per share, based on the price of shares sold to investors, for a total of $1,000,000, accounted for as consulting fees.

The shares were valued at an average price of $1.27, for a total of $54,947 and have been charged to operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. The fair value of the services provided by consultants is not reliably estimable as these services are traditionally transacted based on a percentage of transaction volume, making measurement of such services impractical.

Note 11 – Income Taxes (Continued)

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income tax assets are as follows:

Deferred income tax assets:

	December 31,
	2017			2016
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	8,565,494		$	10,336,800
Stock based compensation		880,656			1,444,660
Valuation allowance		(9,446,150	)		(11,781,460	)
Net deferred income tax assets	$	–		$	–

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 decreased by $2,335,310 and increased by $6,285,080 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in fiscal year 2017 is explained by the reduction of the deferred tax asset on United States tax attributes due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $32,040,000 in the United States, which expire commencing 2033. The potential tax benefit of these losses may be limited due to certain change in ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) and similar state provisions. The Company also has a net operating loss carry forward in Canada of approximately $8,847,000 (CAD 11,106,000) which expires commencing 2034, in Germany of $70,000 (EUR 83,000) with no expiration and in Luxembourg of $535,000 (EUR 447,000) which expires in 2033.

IRS Section 382 places limitations (the “Section 382 Limitation”) on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by net operating loss carry forwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. Generally, after a change in control, a loss corporation cannot deduct operating loss carry forwards in excess of the Section 382 Limitation. Due to these “change in ownership” provisions, utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods. The Company has not concluded its analysis of Section 382 through December 31, 2017, but believes the provisions will not limit the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset, prior to their expiration, future taxable income.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S., Canada, Germany and Luxembourg. The tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. No provision was made for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 as the Company had cumulative operating losses in each of these jurisdictions.

U.S. federal income tax reform legislation, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was signed into law on December 22, 2017 (the “Tax Reform Bill”) which reduces, amongst other things, the corporate federal income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. In December 2017 the SEC staff issued guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Reform Bill. The guidance provides that the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Reform Bill for which the Company’s accounting for income taxes is complete must be reflected in the current period and allows for reporting provisional amounts during a measurement period until the evaluation is complete. The Company management believes that the tax effects of these provisions do not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has entered into certain consulting agreements which call for introduction fees to be paid to the consultants for capital received by the Company from investors introduced by the consultants. The fees range from i) 2% in Series A common stock to ii) 13% in cash and 10% in Series A common stock of the amounts received by the Company.

On March 11, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Artizan Interior design (“Artizan”), a UAE corporation, whereby Artizan will provide project management and technical coordination services for its project in the Sobha Hartland district of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The services of Artizan began October 1, 2015 at a monthly fee of $85,000 for a term of the development stage of the project until the handover of the project to the developer. On March 2, 2016, the Company entered into a Client Representative Consultancy Agreement with Artizan, whereby Artizan will provide construction and engineering design services for its project in the Sobha Hartland district of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The services of Artizan began in March 2016 for a total fee of $1,200,000 in payments of 50% upon the commencement of work, 25% upon the approval of the design package from relevant authorities, and 25% upon the completion of all design services as agreed and approved by the Company. Upon receipt of a termination letter from PNC terminating the agreement related to the Sobha Hartland, Dubai project, the Company terminated its agreement between Artizan and $127,500 of payables is due to Aritizan as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. On May 14, 2018, the Company and Artizan entered into a settlement agreement whereby the Company shall pay to Artizan a total of $150,000, including late fees, in two equal payments of $75,000 on May 15, 2018 and July 15, 2018, as full and final settlement for its outstanding payables. These payments were satisfied in full by the Company.

On February 7, 2016, the Company entered into a Development Sale and Purchase Agreement with PNC. During fiscal year 2016, the Company made an additional payment of $1,900,000 (AED 6,980,144) in non-refundable deposits to PNC leaving a balance of $24,786,795 (AED 91,014,801). On May 15, 2016, the Company received a termination letter from PNC terminating the agreement dated February 7, 2016 for non-payment of the amounts due under the agreement. As a result, the Company forfeited the $4,701,205 (AED 17,271,099) of deposits. A total of $5,048,032 (AED 18,545,258), including $346,827 (AED 1,273,583) of closing and development costs, has been charged to operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 as abandoned project costs. However, the Company is still in negotiations with PNC to acquire a reduced size and price of the land it had agreed to under the agreement dated February 7, 2016 and apply the deposits to this restructured arrangement. Negotiations are under way, but the likelihood that the Company will be successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement is dependent on its ability to pay at least a portion of the new acquisition price. As a result, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will occur as contemplated or at all.

Legal Matters

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

A case was filed against the Company entitled, Timo Pfisterer, plaintiff-appellant, v. ROI Land Investments Ltd., defendant-appellee , in the Landesarbeitsgericht (Regional Labor Court) for Baden-W ü rttemberg, 4th Chamber, Case number: 4 Sa 6/18 29 Ca 1854/17 ArbG Stuttgart. The subject of the litigation concerns a labor dispute brought by Mr. Pfisterer against the Company arising from activities in Europe. While the Company had secured judgment in its favor dismissing plaintiff’s claims, on oral hearing of August 15, 2018, the judgment in favor of the Company was reversed in favor of the plaintiff-appellant, Mr. Pfisterer. The reviewing court reversed and granted a decision in favor of plaintiff-appellant in an amount of approximately $1 million (subject to final determination of interest and costs allowances). The Company believes the subsequent decision is erroneous, that Company has meritorious defenses, and that it has a path to review. Upon the advice of German counsel, the Company believes that on review the decision of the Regional Labor Court is more likely than not to be reversed on grounds of error based on various reasons including but not limited to the lack of basis for jurisdiction against the Company by a German Labor Court and the decision of the German Labor Court is not final in that it is still subject to pending litigation that is more than likely to result in the reversal of the decision and dismissal of plaintiff-appellant’s case on the merits with prejudice (a judgment of a foreign court can provide only a basis for commencing a new plenary action in a U.S or state court). The Company has filed a complaint against non-admission, which is a German proceeding with power to vacate the decision of the Regional Labor Court to seek such review and has not recorded any liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.
