LETTER FROM CEO
Over the past two years, both in practice and as expressed in my CEO Letter to
Shareholders, we have steadfastly focused on building a profitable company
through the following three areas of work:
1. Development in our existing markets where new revenues should most
efficiently grow our bottom line by leveraging existing management overhead.
2. Continue efforts to control and reduce country-level and corporate expenses.
3. Continue efforts to reduce debt and to refinance remaining debt under more
favorable terms.
As described below and in this 2014 Annual Report, we have made progress in all
three areas. At the same time, certain challenges have made it difficult to
achieve the level of progress we have strived for. Below, please see our
progress on these three areas of work followed by adjustments that we believe
will accelerate our goal of building a profitable company. We are also pleased
announce a "Global Settlement" of previous published financial risks related to
the Daman, India project.
DEVELOPMENT IN OUR EXISTING MARKETS
Progress: The purpose of pursuing development in our existing markets is to
increase cash flow where we can leverage our existing management overhead. We
have made the following progress:
* New casino in Nicaragua: On April 22, 2015, the Group opened a 1,200 square
meters casino with 111 slot machines, 21 gaming table positions and 110 F&B
positions. See page 23 for more information.
* New casino in Costa Rica: In June 2014, the Group opened a 570 square meters
casino in Costa Rica with 122 slot machines, 27 gaming table positions (non-
poker), 3 poker tables, and 36 food and beverage seats. See press releases
dated July 11, 2014 for more information.
* New gaming positions in Peru: In July and August 2014, the Group opened 24
electronic roulette positions. In December 2014, we opened 56 table
positions and a 40-seat restaurant at our Luxor Lima operation. See press
releases of August 26, 2014 and December 4, 2014 for more information.
Challenge: The Group recognizes the need to increase liquidity in order to
invest in our core gaming business. In last year's CEO Letter to Shareholders,
we announced the potential sale of our non-producing Costa Rican real estate
(commonly known as "Tres Rios" and "Escazu"). The number of potential buyers for
large, premium parcels in a small market like Costa Rica is limited and interest
shown by potential buyers has not yet resulted in a successful sale.
Response to Challenge: During 2014, the Group was approached by several parties
who hoped to acquire our Costa Rica casino operations. Over the past several
years, both revenues and cash flow have decreased in these operations. To meet
our development goal of increasing liquidity, given the slow progress of the
Costa Rica real estate sales, on February 25, 2015, the Group sold its Costa
Rica casino operations and achieved net cash in excess of $8 million. See page
23 and press release dated February 27, 2015 for more information.
CONTROL AND REDUCE COUNTRY-LEVEL AND CORPORATE EXPENSES
Progress: We have made the following progress in reducing expenses:
* Country-level consolidated operating, general and administrative
expenses were reduced by $1.7 million or by 4% as compared to December
31, 2013 (despite inflation in our markets). Between September 2014 and the
date of publication of this report, the Group has reduced approximately $1.5
million in payroll that should result in improved EBITDA in 2015.
* Corporate expense was reduced by $400 thousand or 8% from $4.9 million as of
December 31, 2013 to $4.5 million as of December 31, 2014 (despite inflation
in our markets).
Challenges: Despite the continued progress in the reduction of expenses and our
positive property EBITDA(1) ($9.8 million in 2014) and adjusted EBITDA ($5.3
million in 2014), our bottom line results are challenged by: a) High corporate
expense required to manage a publicly-traded company given the downsizing of the
organization (approximately 8.0% of revenue in 2014); b) High non-cash expenses
($8.5 million between depreciation and amortization, forex and other non-cash
items in 2014); and c) High financing costs, net ($4.5 million in 2014).
Response to Challenges: For our response to these more entrenched challenges,
please see "Evaluation of Strategic Alternatives" below.
REDUCE DEBT AND REFINANCE REMAINING DEBT UNDER FAVORABLE TERMS
Progress: Group gross debt(2) as of December 31, 2014 was $46.2 million and net
debt(3) was $41.3 million. After the sale of our Costa Rica gaming operations,
the Group's gross debt (preliminary, unaudited) has been reduced to
approximately $37.8 million and net debt to $27.2 million as of the date of this
report.
Challenge: The Group continues to work on refinancing its Peru and Peru-related
debt (approximately $29.2 million of gross debt as of December 31, 2014) and, if
the opportunity arises, to pay down a significant portion or all of this debt.
Response to Challenge: We continue to work on different refinancing
alternatives. The Fiesta Hotel & Casino real estate in Lima, Peru has an updated
appraisal of approximately $53 million (April 2015), which we believe will help
in a refinancing. Please also see "Evaluation of Strategic Alternatives" below.
EVALUATION OF STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES
The Group's primary stated goal is to achieve profitability and to build a
healthy, growing company. Certain entrenched challenges (as described above)
have made achieving this goal difficult. The solutions to these challenges
require us to rethink how to accelerate revenue growth, accelerate debt
reduction and materially reduce non-cash items that are largely responsible for
the variances between our positive EBITDA and our negative income.
We believe the lack of profitability is a key factor that has resulted in low
demand for our shares and a reason why our market capitalization (approximately
$10.4 million as of the date of publication of this report) falls materially
short of what Management believes is the intrinsic value of its real estate
(appraised value of our interests of $76.3 million based on appraisals performed
since 2013) and adjusted EBITDA of $5.3 million (as of December 31, 2014).
The Group's plan continues to be as summarized at the beginning of this letter,
but with one or more of the following possible adjustments, all of which are now
under active analysis:
* Liquidate additional non-producing and producing real estate (total
appraised value of the Group's interests in all of our real estate exceeds
$76 million) in order to: a) Pay down virtually all debt; b) Significantly
reduce depreciation and amortization; c) Retool our asset mix away from real
estate and invest proceeds in new high cash flowing gaming operations in our
existing markets to increase revenues and improve bottom line results; and /
or
* Raise new equity to pay down virtually all debt and invest in new high cash
flowing gaming operations in our existing markets with the goal of
increasing revenues and bottom line results.
At this time, these strategic alternatives are under analysis, should be
considered speculative in nature and any outcomes will depend both on our
analysis and on the demands of the market place.
"GLOBAL SETTLEMENT" RELATED TO THE DAMAN, INDIA PROJECT
Finally, I am pleased to inform that, effective April 8, 2015, in order to avoid
litigation costs and obtain certainty as to obligations, the Group has:
* Settled a possible $6 million or greater exposure arising from a guarantee
it provided in 2009 to a mezzanine lender (Maravege Holding Limited) to the
Daman, India project. The total consideration for settlement is $2.425
million consisting of a cash payment of $1.325 million to be paid over 23
months and an offsetting credit for the $1.1 million to be paid by Maravege
for the remaining 5.5% of shares the Group has in DHPL. The Share transfer
is subject to a certain first right process with an existing DHPL
shareholder as described on page 24.
* Obtained full release from DHPL and from its controlling shareholder Delta
Corp Limited ("Delta") for any potential liabilities and claims.
* Received from Delta and DHPL proof that all senior lenders, whose loans
totalled approximately $25 million and had been guaranteed by the Group,
have been paid in full by DHPL/Delta.
* Obtained a full release from Madison India Real Estate Fund Limited
("MIREF"), whose mezzanine loan to DHPL of approximately $7.2 million had
been guaranteed by Thunderbird.
In effect, the Group believes it has achieved a "Global Settlement" of its
remaining financial exposure in India. The background on the Daman, India
project and the Global Settlement is fully described in Note 21 of our Financial
Statement which accompanies this 2014 Annual Report.
We look forward to communicating with shareholders as material events unfold.
Sincerely,
Salomon Guggenheim, President & CEO

(2) Gross debt equals total borrowings and finance lease obligations inclusive
of the Group's proportional share of debt held by its Costa Rican joint venture
as of year-end 2014.

Note: Gross debt above is presented net of debt issuance costs which is why
there is an approximate $0.8 million variance with the total principal balance
below. Borrowings under assets held for sale are related to two undeveloped real
estateparcels owned by the Group's joint venture in Costa Rica. Post the sale of
our interests in our Costa Rican gaming operations as of February 25, 2015, the
Group's Gross debt has since been lowered to approximately $37.8 million.
The Group estimates its gross debt schedule effective as of December 31, 2014

reduced gross debt post the sale of our interests in Costa Rica gaming
operations, which were sold effective February 25, 2015):

RISK MANAGEMENT
For more detail on Risk Factors, see Chapter 8 of the Annual Report.
MANAGEMENT STATEMENT ON "GOING CONCERN"
Management routinely plans future activities including forecasting future cash
flows. Management has reviewed their plan with the Directors and has
collectively formed a judgment that the Group has adequate resources to continue
as a going concern for the foreseeable future, which Management and the
Directors have defined as being at least the next 18 months from December
31, 2014. In arriving at this judgment, Management has prepared the cash flow
projections of the Group, which incorporates a 5-year rolling forecast and
detailed cash flow modeling through the current financial year. Directors have
reviewed this information provided by Management and have considered the
information in relation to the financing uncertainties in the current economic
climate, the Group's existing commitments and the financial resources available
to the Group. The expected cash flows have been modeled based on anticipated
revenue and profit streams with debt funding programmed into the model and
reducing over time. The model assumes no new construction projects during the
forecast period, with the exception of one business that was in development in
2014 and has since opened as of April 22, 2015. The model assumes a stable
regulatory environment in all countries with existing operations. Sensitivities
have been applied to this model in relation to revenues not achieving
anticipated levels.
The Directors have considered the: (i) base of investors and debt lenders
historically available to Thunderbird Resorts, Inc.; (ii) global capital
markets; (iii) limited trading exposures to our local suppliers and retail
customers; (iv) other risks to which the Group is exposed, the most significant
of which is considered to be regulatory risk; (v) sources of Group income,
including management fees charged to and income distributed from its various
operations; (vi) cash generation, debt amortization levels and key debt service
coverage ratios; (vii) fundamental trends of the Group's businesses; (viii)
extraordinary cash inflows and outflows from one-time events forecasted to occur
in the 18-month period following December 31, 2014; (ix) refinancing of Peru and
Peru-related debt; and (x) liquidation of undeveloped and therefore non-
performing real estate assets that have been held for sale.
Considering the above, Management and Directors are satisfied that the
consolidated Group has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for at
least 18 months following December 31, 2014. For these reasons, Management and
Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
consolidated financial statements.

Cautionary Notice: Cautionary Notice: The Annual Report referred to in this
release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
securities laws and regulations of various international, federal, and state
jurisdictions. All statements, other than statements of historical fact,
included in the Annual Report, including without limitation, statements
regarding potential revenue and future plans and objectives of Thunderbird are
forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. There can be no
assurances that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Thunderbird's
forward-looking statements include competitive pressures, unfavorable changes in
regulatory structures, and general risks associated with business, all of which
are disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in Thunderbird's
documents filed from time-to-time with the Euronext Amsterdam and other
regulatory authorities. Included in the Annual Report are certain "non-IFRS
financial measures," which are measures of Thunderbird's historical or estimated
future performance that are different from measures calculated and presented in
accordance with IFRS, within the meaning of applicable Euronext Amsterdam rules,
that are useful to investors. These measures include (i) Property EBITDA
consists of income from operations before depreciation and amortization, write-
downs, reserves and recoveries, project development costs, corporate expenses,
corporate management fees, merger and integration costs, income/(losses) on
interests in non-consolidated affiliates and amortization of intangible assets.
Property EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure we use to evaluate our
country-level operations. (ii) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in
earnings of affiliates, minority interests, development costs, and gain on
refinancing and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental
financial measure we use to evaluate our overall operations. Property EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures used by management, as well
as industry analysts, to evaluate our operations. However, Property and Adjusted
EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to income from operations (as
an indicator of our operating performance) or to cash flows from operating
activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
