3 Summer s End, St. John, VI Introduction Summer s End is the brainchild of the award winning development team of Chaliese Summers and Rick Barksdale. Located on the sleepy East End of St. John, U.S.V.I. in Coral Bay, Summer s End is a potential seven phase project anchored by The Yacht Club at Summer s End and The St. John Marina. Long known as the Jewel of the Caribbean because of her massive national park covering 70% of the island, St. John s development has been frustrated due to the lack of a marina. After nearly a decade of effort and hundreds of thousands of dollars invested by Chaliese and her team, St. John will no longer lack the friendly access needed to realize her potential. Summer s End is a market driven development whose design is tailored to her specific market. Each phase is designed for organic growth that supports successive phases. While great effort has been exerted to make Summer s End collective and comprehensive in design and scope, each phase is independent and autonomous from the other financially and developmentally. With a projected fulfillment timeline of six to eight years, the purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive overview of the Summer s End vision, introduce principals involved and provide an idea of financial potential to those individuals who have the ability to share in the enthusiasm and dividends offered by this life changing and legacy development.

31 Summer s End, St. John, VI Phase VII The Docks at Summer s End & Condominiums From a Connecticut investment group explored the possibility of locating a marina development including dockage, retail and condominiums on approximately 10 acres owned by the Monrovian Church in Coral Bay. Severe, global economic factors led to the project being mothballed. With the successful realization of The Yacht Club at Summer s End and The St. John Marina, while giving full consideration to local, environmental and developmental concerns by Chaliese Summers and her team, a buyout of this dormant project has become an attractive and viable option for all concerned. The Docks at Summer s End would complement the mid-market St. John Marina by offering an additional slips for yacht charter fleets and small to mid-sized vessels, as well as products and services like boat service and repair, dry storage, larger scale commercial and residential components. Again, following a model that has a recent, proven record of success like Scrub Island in the BVIs is envisioned.

33 Summer s End, St. John, VI Financial Compilation Considering the number of defined and potential phases of Summer s End and combinations thereof, suffice to say that it is difficult at the least to quantify exact financial requirements for success. It is however, safe to assume that through the process of successfully bringing a half billion dollar development into reality that an incremental initial capitalization of $50M would be necessary to launch all phases simultaneously, with an additional $50 to $100M available to facilitate cash flow and the liquidity necessary to maximize returns. Initial CapEx: $50M Total CapEx: $100M+
