Hi Cecile:
Feel free to send along this email thread. Please note Mark Tomyn's explanatory email below mine.
The financial statements are attached per your request.
One point worth making is that the start up costs were cash intensive, all of the uncertainty about the project
moving forward is gone because these studies have been done and permits acquired. The owners and seed
investors used their own money to get to this point and now need this loan to get across the finish line.
Tibbar used the pre-development funds to pay industry experts with credible track records (e.g. Deloitte).

Finally, while the Tibbar payables include amount due to principals and related parties, little or none of the
bridge will be used for them

Seb,
EFTA00857089
Please find the backup information that essentially shows how we spent the $ 7 million and where it came
from.
In general, the Amount Spent = Cash from Investors + Payables (See attached Expenditures spreadsheet)
Please find attached a general summary of what the $7 million bought us. For more detail, we are attaching
an updated Payables spreadsheet that ties to the payables in the Balance Sheet.
Let us know if you need anything else. Thanks.
Mark
