Phoenix Group: Phoenix LV (and/or affi liates) will invest up to a maximum of 10% of the Limited Investment Partnership.

Acquisi on Costs: PLV will receive a fee of $3,000.00 on each property purchased to cover all costs associated with their acquisi on.Risk Factors: There is no secondary market for the investment and none is expected to develop. The

Fund will have limited liquidity; consequently it would not suit investors who require immediate access to their investment. The Fund’s business should be considered highly specula ve due to the risks associated with the rapidly changing economic and market condi ons in the United States. The Fund will be inves ng in real property and these proper es will always have value; however, given the nature of the real estate market it may not be possible to sell them as an cipated. Consequently there is a risk that an investment in the fund may be lost en rely or in part. For further details please refer to the Off ering Memorandum “Item 8” Risk Factors.

Commissions: Up to 8% commission available for Dealers.

Our strategy is simple and very conserva ve. PCF - US will u lize cash to purchase, primarily from US banks, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom townhome units in Las Vegas. These units are then renovated to a high standard which allows us to achieve the best market rental rates in each community while minimizing vacancy. The Units will be leased to the local market to provide cash fl ow to the investor. The company will carry no debt and we have a proven model that allows us to purchase individually tled units, at approximately 35 - 50% of replacement value.

The fi rst closing date is an cipated on or before July 31, 2011. The Issuer will close Subscrip ons as they are received and accepted. It is the inten on of the Issuer that this Off ering shall remain open, and may be amended from me to me.

The subscrip on price is payable at the me of closing by cer fi ed cheque or such other manner as may be accepted at closing by the Fund at their sole discre on.

PCPL will receive a percentage of income and capital as outlined on page 11 of this Investment Summary; however, please refer to Items 6.1 and 6.2 in the Partnership Agreement of Phoenix Capital US LP (Canada) #1 Limited Partnership for further detail.

THE ENVIRONMENT

UNDERSTANDING THE OPPORTUNITY

Using solid investment returns as the cri cal driver, the management team at PCF - US conducted an extensive analysis of the US real estate market. We employed a lengthy and comprehensive decision making process to iden fy viable prospects before focusing on the opportuni es presented by the City of Las Vegas. PCF - US’s deep-value selec on criteria are combined with a strong discipline mandated to maintain a conserva ve approach when inves ng in this unprecedented market opportunity. The US fi nancial and credit crisis con nues to depress US residen al real estate prices which have plummeted as much as 70%. While the economic recession in the US has resulted in decreased spending and higher unemployment in many areas, a unique opportunity is created in the real estate market where you can buy at signifi cant discounts.

THE OPPORTUNITYStrong cash fl ow is paramount in today’s challenging investment environment. Our primary goal is to create a high yield income vehicle that targets residen al proper es with a focus on the local market. These proper es will be marketed and leased u lizing a strong Las Vegas based property management group. The management with its many years of hands on real estate experience has cra ed a fi nancial model that accounts and considers every conceivable cost and variable. The secondary goal is to maintain maximum fl exibility by employing a highly disciplined purchasing and disposi on strategy.

Page 5: Phoenix Investment Summary Feb 2011[1]

STRONG RENTAL MARKETOur Management Team reviewed the opportuni es available in several other major urban centres including Phoenix, Sco sdale, Tucson and Palm Springs. Las Vegas stood out above the rest with one important factor: the strength of the rental market. The Harvard University Housing Report (2010) establishes that the na onal average of rental homes is 32.6%; however, the U.S. Census Bureau sets the level at 35.5% for Nevada. This strength in the local rental market is a primary factor in our investment model. The rental market will con nue to grow, par cularly in this economic environment with so many people losing their homes to foreclosure. It is further strengthened by the comple on of the “CityCenter” project which has generated 10,000 addi onal jobs in Las Vegas.

CONTINUED GOVERNMENT CAPITAL COMMITMENT Las Vegas stands out as an excellent investment environment given that both the State of Nevada and the City con nue to expend considerable monies to maintain Las Vegas as the premier vaca on loca on not only in the United States but on a global scale - the new airport terminal building and the revitaliza on of the area around old Vegas being but two examples. This strength and future growth poten al fi rmly establishes Las Vegas as the perfect loca on to establish an investment fund that primarily focuses on cash fl ow with capital apprecia on poten al.

Las Vegas & Washington DC are the only two ci es that did not decline in the last quarter according to S&P/Case-Shiller3rd Quarter, 2010

More reasons why investors should invest in this market regardless of a downturn: 1 No state tax - Nevada does not charge corporate or personal income tax. This fact alone is some mes the diff erence between profi t and loss and makes Nevada a market of choice. 2 Landlord friendly -Legisla on favors the landlord allowing swi ac on in the event of tenant default.3 Tourism – Las Vegas will always be a favorite des na on for tourists and businesses alike. 4 Stable popula on since 2007 at 1.95 million projected to grow to 2.45 million by 2015.

The Strategy will focus on residen al proper es where values have dropped by 50% to 70% over the past two years. The objec ve of these acquisi ons is to lease them into the local rental market to generate strong cash fl ow. By u lizing strong local property managers and Phoenix LV Management’s approach to ac vely manage and set benchmarks/parameters that ensure the highest performance, we will give our Fund a signifi cant advantage over compe ng investments as we develop the ability to truly penetrate this market.

Another element of our strategy is to signifi cantly upgrade all suite interiors, regardless of condi on, to posi on our units as more desirable and thus rentable within a given development. This approach will not only improve income yield but improve vacancy levels.

All units will be individually tled and owned by Phoenix LV Realty Partners #2 LLP (“Phoenix LLP Nevada”) which will give our Fund ul mate control over liquidity and allow the management team to choose the op mum me for disposi on thus maximizing returns.

A LOOK AT THE STRATEGY

Data suggests that real-estate prices hit a bottom some time during the second quarter and have now begun to rise. …

clearly prices are no longer in free fall.

That means if you’ve been sitting on the fence, it’s time to act.”

James B. Stewart SmartMoney

The following steps are taken to iden fy, structure and execute the Strategy:1) Strict criteria are u lized for iden fying the most desirable proper es that fi t our fi nancial model:

• Popula on and demographic trends Price per unit vs. rental rate and net opera ng income• Employment/shopping corridors/ transit accessibility • Proximity to schools/health care/employment centers• Target investor owned rental conversion condominiums•

2) Structured as a mutual fund trust and a limited partnership to ensure transparency Proper es are NOT being vended into PCF - US at infl ated values; they are purchased directly by Phoenix LLP

Nevada.

3) U lize highly experienced management and ground team to execute the fund’s objec ves.

An extensive network of experienced Las Vegas professionals form an important part of our team.

The fund’s investment term is anticipated to be 5 years (please refer to Offering Memorandum • “Item 2“)The primary exit strategy to maximize the return will be the sale of the individual units utilizing • multiple sales channels.An alternative exit strategy would be to dispose of the complete portfolio or portions of the • portfolio to an investment group.To support these exit strategies management would consider the placement of non-recourse • financing on the portfolio to a maximum loan to value ratio of 60%. This option would be available to management once we have achieved a stablized income stream and would return a significant portion of the initial capital investment.
