ATLANTICA - Largest Ever Multi-Use Residential Resort Community in the Caribbean - Closes Founder's Program at an Astounding $95 Million

Press Release: ATLANTICA
December 15, 2004
PUERTO LUPERON, Dominican Republic -- Puerto Luperon Corp, a major international development company, Dec. 13 announced the successful closing of ATLANTICA's Captain's Cove Founder's Program two months after its official launch on October 5, 2004, with more than $50 million in sales contracts and over $45 million in signed upgrade options.

The Developer -- Mr. Pierre Schnebelen -- in his October 5 launch speech, committed to President Leonel Fernandez of the Dominican Republic to put ATLANTICA on the world map as a major yachting community. In their address at this weekend's Closing Event Farewell Dinner, Mrs. Elena Viyella -- ATLANTICA's Chairman of the Board -- and Mr. Schebelen declared the October 5 commitment a "mission accomplished."

Through a partnership with Miami-based Resorts of the World, LLC -- the marketing and sales agent for ATLANTICA's real estate -- this sales number was achieved in a record-breaking two months. Mr. Schnebelen challenged his team to double the rate of sales during the next two months, in part by way of the announcement of the second phase featuring Fishermen's Village, which will include an additional Beach Club and two hotels. The hotels will serve stunning apartments and duplex condominiums, overlooking both the AtlanticA Marina, and the Atlantic Ocean. Also included in this release is the spectacular AMBAR Hotel and further real estate opportunities.

"The success of this first closing is extremely gratifying," said Pierre Schnebelen, ATLANTICA developer and visionary, and President of ATLANTICA. "With construction of the infrastructure already on the way, and the ground breaking of the Captain's Cove Townhomes starting in January 2005, we look forward to welcoming the first residents to their new homes in December of 2005."

ATLANTICA's closing event for the Captain's Cove Founder's Program was held at the prestigious Hotel Casa Colonial in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, with buyers and now members of the Founder's Club attending from the Dominican Republic, North America and Europe.

Also present was Elena Viyella Paliza -- President of Indescorp, a management and financial consulting company in the Dominican Republic -- and Chairman of the Board for ATLANTICA. Noted Mrs. Viyella: "The interest in ATLANTICA and the Dominican Republic is nothing less than astounding. This project will undoubtedly impact the growth of tourism, creating thousands of jobs."

Scheduled for delivery in December of 2005 is the Bay Beach Club, a hotel and club exclusively for the residents of Captain's Cove, followed by the Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course in May of 2006.
