subsequent transfers the property was reduced to 31,423.45-acres in 1989. The
property is strategically located along the Caribbean coastline in the Belize
City District, north of the Belize International Airport, thereby possessing
prime property for residential, commercial and resort development. The property

Among the major attractions on this property is a large number of historical
Mayan archaeological sites. The Company has an option to acquire the
controlling interest or all of the shares of Compradore Limited at fair market
value. In order to remove any possible cloud on its ownership and title, and to

Revitalization and the Master Development Plan, the Trust Company as the sole
trustee and asset manager of the Plantation has litigated on Compradore's
behalf, obtaining a deed of release from the Belize Government for property

Development Plan strives to utilize the plantation operations as ecological
attractions and the many Mayan sites on the property as cultural attractions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Assets
Total assets at September 30, 1999, were $138,881,176 as compared to
$138,862,944 at December 31, 1998. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had a
cash balance of $0, compared to December 31, 1998 cash balance of $4,792. On
September 30, 1999, current assets of the Company were $596,247 compared to
$485,375 at December 31, 1998.
Forest Resource
Forest Resource was $134,500,000 at September 30, 1999, and $134,500,000 at
December 31, 1998, and consists of about 14,576 acres dense broad-leaf forest
range. The Company is in the process of establishing an ecologically sound
Forestry Management and Timber Processing Plan calling for the harvesting and
processing of timber from this combined with controlled harvesting from other
forestry concessions to be used for export and secondary wood-processing of
value-added products.
Land Resource
No value is reflected with regards to the 23.62% Company's ownership in
Compradore Ltd. or in the Company's interest as sole trustee and asset manager
of the 31,423.45-acre Mayan Salt Creek Estate in Belize City District, Belize,
Central America. The Company has an option to acquire the controlling interest
or all of the shares of Compradore Limited at fair market value
Liabilities
Liabilities for the Company were $15,301,270 at September 30, 1999, compared to
$14,562,875 at December 31, 1998. Of these liabilities, $9,963.925 is due to an
affiliate at September 30, 1999 and $9,963,925 at December 31, 1998. The
liability was substantially reduced during 1998 due to conversion of a portion
of the debt to equity.
-9-
Current liabilities
Current liabilities for the Company were $3,010,771 at September 30, 1999,
compared to $2,764,472 at December 31, 1998. The reduction in current
liabilities is a result of the Company's strategy to convert Notes Payable into
Equity and/or Land Ownership. The Company expects to continue to convert,
re-negotiate or pay all or a portion of the current liabilities during 1999 and
2000, however no assurance can be given to that effect.
Deferred Revenue
As the sole trustee and asset manager of the 31,423.45-acre Mayan Salt Creek
Estate, WSF Trust Corporation of Belize Limited receives fifty (50%) percent of
all revenues from the estate. This contract is similar to limited partnership
contracts, in which the general partner (in this case WSF Trust) receives a
share of the property's income. The original amount of deferred revenue of
$67,250,000 equals 50% of the revenue from the sale of the timber resources and
is recognized as revenue at the time the timber is processed and shipped. The
Company began harvesting (first quarter of 1997) and processing hardwood into
lumber (first quarter of 1998). A reduction in the rate of deferred revenue
recognition is reflected as a result of the temporary suspension of timber
processing.
Shareholders' Equity
The Company has shareholders' equity in the amount of $58,079,906 at September
30, 1999, compared to $57,810,069 at December 31, 1998.
RESULT OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
The Company had revenues of $331,987 for the three month period ending September
30, 1999, as compared to $750,496 for the comparable quarter in 1998. The
Company expects its revenues to increase significantly as the implementation of
its plantation revitalization and resort development plans are successfully
executed.
Expenses
Expenses decreased to $200,260 for the three months ending September 30, 1999,
compared to $881,546 for the comparable quarter in 1998. The decrease in
expenses is due to reorganization of operations at the Mayan Plantations and
Mayan Resorts.
Net Operating Income
There was a net operating profit of $131,727 for the Quarter ended September 30,
1999 compared to an operating loss of ($131,049) for the comparable quarter in
1998.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
(a) General
To achieve its economic objectives, the Company provides capital to its wholly
owned subsidiary, the WSF Trust Corporation of Belize, Ltd. ("the Trust
Company").which in turn makes investment in synergistic companies and/or enters
into joint ventures with qualified strategic partners.
-10-
The Company completed its Master - Land Use Plan for the 31,423.45-acre Mayan
Plantation and its Phase I Development Plan. Subject to the successful
implementation of its funding strategy with its bankers, a leading international
banking house, the Company will be awarding contracts to its long-time design,
planning & architectural company, to a major international hotel management
company and to a subsidiary of a major European Construction company that will
engage local subcontractors.
The development and construction efforts will be directed by a Design/Build Team
under the leadership of the company's planners and architects, Wimberly Allison
Tong & Goo, a major international hotel management firm, and a major U.S.
construction firm as the General Contractor, who is responsible for the on-time
and on-budget for the Phase I - development projects more fully described
herein.
(b) Operations
The Company's activities during 1999 were focused on (i) implementing the Mayan
Plantation revitalization plans, (ii) the preparation of the various Phase I
development plans, (iii) raising of working capital and development financing
and (iv) the generation of revenues from the sale of plantation related products
and services.
The Company is in the preliminary planning stages for the following activities
and business undertakings. No equity or debt funding has yet been secured for
these activities.
(i) Mayan Plantation. The Mayan Plantation has a 300+ year history as a
timber farm, cattle ranch and diversified crops plantation. The completed Land
Use Plan for the 31,423.45-acre Mayan Plantation sets forth the appropriate land
uses.
Approximately 37% of the total land base, or approximately 37% of the total land
base, or approximately 14,000-acres (5,901 hectares) is densely covered by a
hardwood forest containing stands of mahogany, cedar, pine, teak and other
tropical hardwoods and a wide variety of plants and abundant wildlife. The first
objective of the Company is to implement and maintain a sustainable forestry,
plant, wildlife and shoreline management plan for the entire 31,423.45-acre
plantation, the five major lagoons and its many miles of Caribbean shoreline.
Mayan Plantation plans to operate a sawmill, and wood processing plant,
producing high quality hardwood products for its own development uses as well as
for the export market. Mayan Plantation will be capable of producing virtually
all of the wood products and millwork for planned residential, commercial and
resort development projects. All forest operations will be based on sustained
yield management as recommended by the company's forest management consultants.
The Company owns these timber resources in perpetuity.
Mayan Plantation's revitalization plan also focuses on the increase in the
current cattle and other livestock operations and on planting and harvesting
diversified crops, as well as plants and flowers, for landscape architecture and
the hospitality industry.
(ii) Mayan Resort Belize & Cultural Center. A 1,000-acre portion of the Estate
will be used on the shoreline for the development of the Mayan Resort. The
resort can be accessed both by land and by water, and it will offer a wide
variety of resort activities and amenities in the context of ecologically sound,
sustainable growth. Adjacent to the Mayan Resort, A Mayan Cultural Center and
Theme Park, on about 5,000-acres of land with miles of shoreline, will be
developed to become one of the major tourist attractions of Belize or even
Central America. The main attraction will be the well-known Mayan Temple at
Rocky Point. We believe this historical Mayan ruin is thousands of years old
and is located admits three picturesque lagoons.
-11-
(iii) Belize Science & Technology Center. An 800-acre portion of the Estate, at
its closest point to the North American Highway and the Belize International
Airport will be developed into the Belize Science and Technology Center and
incubator facility. It will be occupied primary be two types of enterprises,
namely software development houses and Internet Service providers. It is
designed as an advanced light industrial research and development complex,
carefully master planned to embrace the unique environmental wonders of Belize.
Large swats of existing jungle are preserved as "Nature (green) Corridors"
throughout the complex. Lakes are planned as wetland features to provide
habitat for native water birds and other fauna. The corridors also serve to
separate industrial lots into "Industry Clusters" to promote synergy between
similar disciplines in the field of high technology designs. The Park will be
self-intelligent with fiber optic cable connections to super computers and
satellite linkages. The master Plan will allow maximum site plan flexibility
and expansion to accommodate both small and large tenants. Belize's close
proximity to the U.S. and its pro-business attributes, such as aggressive
incentive programs including but not limited to tax holidays, will give
International companies the necessary incentive and a competitive edge.
(iv) The Belize Institute of Technology (BIT). At its core and as the first
anchor tenant, the Science and Technology Center will feature the Belize
Institute of Technology, a joint venture with a major U.S. university. The
Institute is envisioned as a web-based electronic campus composed of
sophisticated research and training facilities oriented to advanced information
technology and related services. The Institute will provide a unique framework
for teaching and delivering technological advancements and innovations in a
tropical - green - environment. By combining a range of the very best research
and teaching facilities with the most forward -thinking minds in the industry,
the Institute will become a hub for cross training, networking and
collaboration. The sharing of facilities at a single location will generate
exciting synergy for research and development between related disciplines.
Commercial administrative offices are envisioned for corporations to
headquarters their operations near the BIT and it's super computers. Situated
behind lush tropical landscape and water features near the entrance of the
Institute, the corporate architecture will serve to showcase the purpose of the
park as a venue for advance technological innovations.
Self-contained residential neighborhoods are located at the edge of the Park
near preservation open space and will include access to hiking trails and
equestrian facilities. Dormitory housed and serviced apartments are provided
for students and visitors alike. Longer term family housing enclaves will offer
quiet respiteaway from the core facilities of the Science and Technology Park,
while remaining in close proximity to public community support uses such as
recreation fields, convenience shopping, golf and other resort amenities of the
nearby Mayan Resort.
(v) Belize Equestrian Estates. A 2,000-acre portion of the estate will be used
on the shoreline for the development of a world-class equestrian community with
two hundred (200) 5-acre Equestrian Estates configured around generous open
space corridors that are linked by road and horse trail to a modern Equestrian
Center. It will consist of a clubhouse with guest suites, equestrian facilities,
racetrack with gaming facilities, polo-fields and stables. The Belize
Equestrian Center will be a private members club. There are currently 140

(c) Discontinued Operations.
The 14.42-acre Salt Creek Estate Club property and improvements thereon, owned
by Mile 13 1/2 Limited. d.b.a. Salt Creek Club, a 70% owned subsidiary of the
Company, were sold and the title to the property was transferred to Datapro
International Limited, a Belize Company. Reference is made to Form 8-K dated
March 24, 1999.
(d) Risk Factors
The Company's ability to implement the above-described plan of operations will,
to a large extent, be dependent upon management's ability to obtain the
necessary funding for the implementation of the Phase I - Development Projects.
The Company's success will also depend on raising or generating sufficient
working capital for administration and operations, including the implementation
of the Plantation's revitalization plan. While the Company is confident in
producing the required investment and working capital, there can be no assurance
that such capital will become available as required. The Company will continue
its efforts to raise sufficient funds through a placement of debt or equity
instruments to develop the required infrastructure for projects described above,
and for the development of the golf course and the pre-sale of lots, homes and
villas.
The information set forth in this Plan of Operation is management's best
estimate based upon current plans. Actual expenditures will be greater or
lesser depending upon many factors including, but not limited to, available
capital, overall market conditions in the plantation management and resort
development, and the status of the commercial domestic and international
financial markets. Due to possible economic or political factors that may affect
the economic viability of this project, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to raise the funds required for the implementation of all
portions of its plans.
(e) Inflation
The Company's business and operations have not been and are not expected to be
materially affected by inflation.
(f) Impact of Future Accounting Pronouncement
None
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
At September 30, 1999, the Registrant was a party to several lawsuits as
plaintiff or defendant, none of which individually or in the aggregate is
considered material in relation to the Registrant's financial position or
results of operations, including:
COMPRADORE vs. Raymond Y. C. Ho, Elizabeth Ho, Bucky Fong, et al.
On July 31, 1997, Compradore Limited, an affiliate of the Company, at the
instruction of the Company, (WSF's ownership in Compradore is 23.6% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock, and WSF Trust Corporation of Belize
Limited is the sole trustee and asset manager of a 31,423.45 acres Compradore
-13-
Limited owns), filed a lawsuit against Raymond Y.C. Ho, the former Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as well as of Compradore Limited,
demanding specific performance on a purchase agreement. This case was set for
trial on October 4, 1999, but was postponed to 2000 due to a hospitalization of
Mr. Ho and trial schedule reasons of the Company's counsel. A new trial date
has been set for the first week of July 2000. However, due to a new
hospitalization of Mr. Ho and substitution of legal counsel, the trial has been
further delayed. The Company is confident that Compradore Limited will prevail
in its efforts and that a settlement or judgment at trial will resolve this case
to the satisfaction of the Company. The Company has a claim for significant
damages for attorney's fees; punitive damages and payment of all Company's court
costs and legal fees.
WSF CORPORATION vs. SANDHILL ENTERPRISES, GRIMME et al. (An American
Arbitration Association arbitration case and settlement, which is in process of
being re-filed)
An arbitration case filed in October 1998, settled on April 29, 1999, resulted
in a reduction of the purchase price of the Asset Purchase Agreement for the
229-acre sawmill property. Pursuant to the Arbitration Settlement, Sandhill was
required to place the title certificate with Title Guaranty Escrow Services,
Inc. WSF was required to pay $30,000 by September 30, 1999, through escrow and
$315,000 by August 15, 1999. On August 13, 1999, two days before closing of
Escrow, the Company received an Order of the Supreme Court of Belize, action
#387, restraining Sandhill Enterprises from selling and transferring the
property to the Company. This order was never revoked. On August 26, 1999,
Sandhill Enterprises obtained, from a different judge in Belize, Action No 450
to repossess the property from the Company. The Company plans to re-open and
pursue the Arbitration Settlement case in the near future, whereby it will claim
damages for breach of Settlement Agreement and punitive damages as well as
recovery of legal fees and court costs.
