Back to the Future

For the sake of the most promising return on investment opportunities Forest Returns is still focusing financially on the tripod:

  1. ‘sustainable forestry’
  2. ‘sustainable hospitality’
  3. ‘sustainable aqua culture’

It has been recommended to raise the shareholders capital of la Esperanza Int. de Heredia S.A. from US $ 1,000,000,- (in March 2005 certificated stock capital)

The new investment opportunities through la Esperanza Int. de Heredia S.A. and other Costarican entities are based on the solid and sound growth scenario through:

  • increasing the landownership with neighbouring areas, up to 3.400 acres, area by area,
  • accelerating the sustainable forestry process with hardwood and giant bamboo species,
  • creating the real estate process ´El Pueblo Esperanza´, step by step,
  • engineering the aqua culture process with ´Pes San Pedro´ in particular.

The existing share holders of la Esperanza Int. de Heredia S.A. will have the ‘first right of refusal’ to invest additionally in proportion to their existing shares.

If some of these existing shareholders will not use this ´first right of refusal’ other serious new investors outside the Netherlands will have the opportunity to step in based on the (higher value) of the shares in the Costa Rican entity la Esperanza Int. de Heredia S.A.

Please contact the ‘presidente’ of la Esperanza Int. de Heredia S.A. and chairman of Forest Returns bv Cor J.M. Denneman directly by e-mail or by phone (+31 65 123 00 70) to discuss further fertile details.
