Land Rights Registration

To establish the value of its Usufruct Rights for the Omagine Site and properly record such value in its financial statements, Omagine contracted with three separate real-estate valuation firms, each of which is well known in Oman and Dubai and all of which have recognizable worldwide brands in the real-estate valuation business. These firms were tasked to provide Omagine with the value of its Usufruct Rights. All three valuations were conducted in accordance with the professional standards specified by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
