and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges,
powers and franchises of SMC Sub and TI will vest in the Surviving Entity
without further act or deed, and all debts, liabilities and duties of SMC Sub

     2.5 Constating Documents.

     (a) The articles of organization of SMC Sub as in effect immediately prior
to the Effective Time will continue unchanged, except to the extent amended by
the Articles of Merger, and will be the articles of organization of the
Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof
and in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) At the Effective Time, the by-laws of SMC Sub or such other constating
documents of SMC Sub (collectively the “Constating Documents”), as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be the Constating Documents of the
Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof
and in accordance with applicable law.

     2.6 Manager. The manager of the Surviving Entity after the Effective Time
will be SMC. SMC, as the sole member of SMC Sub, by approving the Merger has

in order to ensure the proper appointment of such manager for the Surviving
Entity.

     2.7 Taking of Necessary Action. If after the Effective Time any further
action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the
Surviving Entity with full title to all assets, rights, approvals, immunities
and franchises of either SMC Sub or TI, the officers and directors, manager and
members, or the former officers, directors, managers or members, as the case may
be, of SMC and VRIC, shall cause SMC Sub and TI and the Surviving Entity to take
all such necessary action.

     2.8 Merger Consideration. The Merger consideration shall be as follows: (i)
each share of TI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part
of the holder thereof, be converted into 16,825 shares of SMC Common Stock (the
“SMC Merger Shares”), and (ii) SMC shall grant the royalties and make the
payments to VRIC referred to in Section 3 of the LA. All certificates
representing the shares of SMC Common Stock issued on effectiveness of the
Merger will be endorsed with the following legend pursuant to the Securities Act
in order to reflect that the fact that the SMC Merger Shares will be issued to
the shareholder of TI or its designees pursuant to exemptions or safe harbours
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT"), AND HAVE BEEN

Page 3 of 12

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

 

ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
ACT PROVIDED BY REGULATION D OF THE ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE REOFFERED
FOR SALE OR RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT.”

 

     2.9 Stock Certificate Conversion Procedure. At Closing, each holder of TI
Common Stock will be entitled to exchange his, her, or its certificate
representing the TI Common Stock (the “TI Stock Certificate”) for a certificate
representing the number of shares of SMC Common Stock into which the number of
shares of TI Common Stock previously represented by such certificate surrendered
have been converted pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement. Each holder of TI
Common Stock may exchange his, her or its TI Stock Certificate by delivering
such TI Stock Certificate to SMC duly endorsed in blank (or accompanied by duly
executed stock powers duly endorsed in blank), in each case in proper form for
transfer, with signatures guaranteed, and, if applicable, with all stock
transfer and any other required documentary stamps affixed thereto and with
appropriate instructions to allow the transfer agent to issue certificates for
the SMC Common Stock to the holder thereof together with a Regulation D
Investment Letter , a copy of which is attached hereto in Schedule D. Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.9, each TI Stock Certificate will
be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to
receive SMC Common Stock certificates representing the number of whole shares of
SMC Common Stock into which the shares of TI Common Stock formerly represented
by such certificate have been converted. Upon receipt of such duly endorsed TI
Stock Certificates, SMC will cause the issuance of the number of shares of SMC
Common Stock as converted pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement.

     2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in TI Common Stock. The promise to
exchange the TI Common Stock for shares of SMC in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement will be deemed to have been given in full satisfaction of all
rights pertaining to the TI Common Stock, and there will be no further
registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of TI of the shares of TI
Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From
and after the Effective Time, the holders of TI Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with
respect to such TI Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement
or by law.

     2.11 Rule 144 Stock. As long as VRIC or its designees (the “SMC
Shareholders”) own the SMC Merger Shares, SMC covenants to timely file (or
obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace
period) all reports required to be filed by SMC after the date hereof pursuant
to the Exchange Act, and, if SMC is not required to file reports pursuant to the
Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the SMC Shareholders and make
publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) of the Securities Act such
information as is required for the SMC Shareholders to sell the SMC Merger
Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. SMC further covenants that at such
time as any of SMC Merger Shares become available for resale in accordance with
the terms and conditions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, SMC will take such
further action as any holder of SMC Merger Shares may reasonably request, to the
extent required from time to time to enable such person to sell such SMC Merger
Shares without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the
requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Transylvania International, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006
and 2005  

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of Transylvania International,
Inc. (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
financial statements.

Business Activity

The Company was incorporated on October 21, 1982 and has invested in real
property consisting of mineral land, vacant land and income producing
properties.

The Company operated as an S corporation for federal and state income tax
purposes until December 15, 2003 at which time it transferred share ownership to
a nonqualifying shareholder and became taxable as a C corporation.

The Company has incurred cumulative net losses since inception of approximately
$4.7 million from rental property operations and holding of mineral land and has
relied upon shareholder funding and sales of investment property to sustain
operations and holding costs.

Income Taxes

Until December 15, 2003, the Company, with the consent of its shareholder, had
elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. In lieu of
corporation income taxes, the shareholder of the corporation is taxed on its
share of the Company’s taxable income.

After December 15, 2003, the Company accounts for income taxes under the
provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect for the year in which
the differences are expected to reverse.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.

Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include carrying
amount of real property and mineral assets and deferred income tax assets.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

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

Transylvania International, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006
and 2005  

Real Property and Mineral Assets

Real property and mineral assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated
using straight-line and declining balance methods over estimated useful lives
ranging from 5 to 39 years. The Company records all property acquisitions at the
original cost of the acquisition. Expenditures for property betterments and
renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or disposition of a depreciable asset or
asset held for investment, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the financial statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with Statement 144,
long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased
intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or investment value of the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charge
was recognized during 2006 or 2005.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when rents are received or receivable for the period
earned, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists and the revenue is fixed or determinable.

Uncollectible Loans

The Company periodically reviews collectiblity of amounts due to it in the form
of loans or advances for collectiblity. When it is determined based on review of
the terms, facts and circumstances that a loan amount is either partially or
totally uncollectible, the Company either records a total write-off of the loan
or an allowance against the loan balance.

2.  New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 considers the effects of prior
year misstatements when quantifying misstatements in current year financial
statements. It is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The
Company does not believe the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on
its financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires financial
statement recognition of the impact of a tax position, if that position is more
likely than not to be sustained on examination, based on the technical merits of
the position. The provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an
adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of FIN 48 on its financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to
prior-period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it
is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative
effect of the change. SFAS 154 also redefines “restatement” as the revising of
previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error.
This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors
made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not
currently believe that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material impact on
its financial statements.

3.  Property Rental Arrangements and Leases

The Company has the following lease and rental arrangements:

Clarkdale Arizona Central Railroad - Lease

The Company has a month-to-month rental agreement with Clarkdale Arizona Central
Railroad. The rental payment is $1,700 per month.

Commercial Building - Lease

The Company rents commercial building space to two tenants. The rental
arrangements for both tenants stem from expired leases and are month-to-month.
Rent under these agreements totaled $1,260 per month.

Land Lease - Wastewater Effluent

The Company entered into a lease on August 25, 2004 with the Town of Clarkdale,
AZ (Clarkdale). The Company provides approximately 60 acres of land to Clarkdale
for disposal of Class B effluent. In return, the Company has first rights to
purchase up to 46,000 gallons per day of the effluent for its use at fifty
percent (50%) of the potable water rate. In addition, if Class A effluent
becomes available, the Company may purchase that at seventy five percent (75%)
of the potable water rate.

The term of the lease is 5 years with a one year extension available. At such
time as Clarkdale no longer uses the property for effluent disposal, and for a
period of twenty five (25) years measured from the date of the lease, the
Company has a continuing right to purchase Class B , and if available, Class A
effluent at then market rates.

4.  Income Taxes

The Company is a Nevada corporation operating primarily in the state of Arizona
and files federal and Arizona income tax returns. Nevada does not impose a
corporate income tax.

The provision for income taxes consisted of the following at December 31,

    2006     2005                 Federal - deferred benefit (provision) $
 (3,455 ) $  (3,268 ) State - deferred benefit (provision)   (708 )   (670 )
Expected non-utilization of loss carryforwards   4,163     3,938                
Provision for income taxes $  -   $  -  

Temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are due
to differences in the recognition period of certain expenses. These differences
relate primarily to net operating loss carryforward amounts.

Transylvania International, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006
and 2005  

The components of the net deferred tax assets at December 31 were as follows:

    2006     2005                 Gross deferred federal income tax assets -
current $  62,892   $  -   Gross deferred state income tax assets - current  
12,889     -   Less: valuation allowance   (75,781 )   -                 Net
current deferred income tax asset $  -   $  -                 Gross deferred
federal income tax assets - long term $  -   $  59,437   Gross deferred state
income tax assets - long term   -     12,181   Less: valuation allowance   -    
(71,618 )               Net long term deferred income tax asset $  -   $  -  

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $185,000 and $175,000, respectively for both
federal and Arizona income taxes. The net operating loss carryforwards expire
between 2024 and 2026.

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes
in the Company’s ownership may result in a limitation on the amount of net
operating loss carryforwards. Utilization of the net operating loss
carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership
percentage change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and
similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of
the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.

Valuation Allowance

A valuation allowance must be provided when it is more likely than not that the
net deferred tax asset will not be realized.

A full valuation allowance has been established for the deferred tax assets
generated by net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of future
utilization.

In subsequent periods, the Company may reduce the valuation allowance, provided
that utilization of the deferred tax is more likely than not. As a result of
this valuation allowance, there has been a reduction of the income tax expense
or benefit for the periods presented.

5.  Concentration of Activity

The Company's principal revenue source is the rental of commercial real estate,
holding of land and a mineral asset in Clarkdale Arizona.

6.  Write-off of Loans Receivable

During 2005 the Company exhausted collection efforts and determined that two
separate loans in the amount of $250,000 and $594,814 were not collectible. The

legal fees. The $594,814 loan was written off in its entirety. The Company
recognized $835,814 in bad debt expense.

7.  Significant Sales of Real Property

During 2005, the Company sold two parcels of unimproved land. One parcel was
sold for approximately $35,000 and the other for approximately $1,000,000. The
net proceeds were primarily used to repay advances made by members of the LLC
stockholder of the company.

(VRIC), the LLC shareholder and an Gerald A. Lembas, (an equity member of VRIC)
advanced funds to the Company for operations and land holding costs.

9.  Real Property Deed of Trust

Gerald A. Lembas, a member of VRIC holds a deed of trust against substantially
all of the real property of the Company in the amount of $9,600,000. The basis
of this encumbrance placed on the property by Mr. Lembas is related to funding
he had infused into the Company over a long period of time and appreciation of
the property value. Mr. Lembas converted the bulk of his funding to paid-in
capital in 2003, but retained the deed of trust.
