NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015

1.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

On August 27, 2007, SunVesta Inc. (“SunVesta”) acquired SunVesta Holding AG (“SunVesta

AG”)  (collectively  “the  Company”).   SunVesta  AG  holds  five  wholly-owned  subsidiaries:

SunVesta  Projects and Management  AG,  a  Swiss company;  Rich  Land  Investments  Limitada,

a Costa Rican company (“Rich Land”); SunVesta Costa Rica Limitada, a Costa Rican company

(“SVCR”), Altos del Risco SA, a Costa Rican company (“AdR”) and SunVesta Holding Espana

SL.

In January 2005, the Company changed its business focus to the development of holiday resorts

and  investments  in  hospitality  and  related  industries.  The  Company  has  presently  one  major

project  in  Costa  Rica.  Planning  for  this  project  has  been  fully completed  and  all  permits  have

been granted, including the permit required under “Article 21” in connection with access to the

beachfront  associated  with  the  project.  Excavation  work  began  in  March  2013  and  site  work

continues.  The  Company is  still  in  process  of  completing  the  financing  of  the  project  and  has

not realized revenue to date. Since the financing of the Costa Rican project is not complete, the

Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  US  Dollars  on  the  basis  of  generally

accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by

management  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  in  Form  10-Q  and,  therefore,  do  not  include

all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles and should,

therefore, be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K, for the year ended December

31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements do include all

normal recurring adjustments which the Company believes necessary for a fair presentation of

the statements.  The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to

be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2015.

Except  as  indicated  in  the  notes  below,  there  have  been  no  other  material  changes  in  the

information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Form

10-K   for   the   year   ended   December   31,   2014,   filed   with   the   Securities   and   Exchange

Commission.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New accounting standard updates

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards

Updates (ASU) 2015-03 which requires that debt issuance costs be reported in the balance sheet

as  a  direct   deduction  from   the  face  amount   of  the  related  liability,   consistent   with  the

presentation of debt discounts. Prior to the amendments, debt issuance costs were presented as

a deferred charge (i.e., an asset) on the balance sheet. The ASU provides examples illustrating

the  balance  sheet  presentation  of  notes  net  of  their  related  discounts  and  debt  issuance  costs.

Further,  the  amendments  require  the  amortization  of  debt  issuance  costs  to  be  reported  as

interest expense. Similarly, debt issuance costs and any discount or premium are considered in

the  aggregate  when  determining  the  effective  interest  rate  on  the  debt.   The  amendments  are

effective  for  public  business  entities  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  2015,  and

interim periods within those fiscal years.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

In   August   2014,   the   Financial   Accounting   Standards   Board   (FASB)   issued   Accounting

Standards Updates (ASU) 2014-15 requiring an entity’s management to evaluate whether there

are  conditions  or  events,  considered  in  aggregate,  that  raise  substantial  doubt  about  entity’s

ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements

are  issued  (or  within  one  year  after  the  date  that  the  financial  statements  are  available  to  be

issued when applicable). The amendments to (ASU) 2014-15 are effective for the annual period

ending  after  December  15,  2016,  and  for  annual  periods  and  interim  periods  thereafter.  Early

application  is  permitted.  The  Company  is  in  the  process  of  evaluating  the  prospective  impact

that (ASU) 2014-15 will have on its balance sheet.

3.

GOING CONCERN

The Company is currently working on building a hotel in the Papagayo Gulf Tourism Project

area of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The project is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Until the completion of the project, the following expenditures are estimated to be incurred:

a.      Gross project cost

$

208,000,000

b.      Less: Proceeds from sale of villas

(25,000,000)

c.      Net project cost

183,000,000

d.      Overhead expenses

27,000,000

e.      Subtotal

210,000,000

f.

Less: Recuperated in gross project cost

(12,000,000)

g.      Total, excluding other potential projects

$

198,000,000

Sixty percent  (60%)  of  the  net  project  cost  is  intended  to  be  financed  through  the  issuance  of

secured bonds,  for  which negotiations have been initiated. The remaining forty percent  (40%)

of the net project cost, as well as non-recuperated overhead expenses are intended to be financed

by  the  main  shareholders  or  lenders  of  the  project  in  the  event  that  alternative  means  of

financing  the  remainder  of  the  project  are  not  available,  namely Zypam  Ltd.,  shareholder  and

related entity to Mr. Josef Mettler, Mr. Hans Rigendinger, shareholder, Company Director and

Chief  Operating  Officer,  Dr.  Max  Rӧssler,  controlling  shareholder  of  Aires  International

Investment, Inc. and Company Director, and Mr. Josef Mettler, shareholder, Company Director,

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

On  July  16,  2012,  certain  principal  shareholders  of  the  Company  or  principal  lenders  to  the

project entered into a guaranty agreement in favor of SunVesta AG. The purpose of the guaranty

is to  ensure that  until  such time as  financing is secured  for  the  entire project  that  they will  act

as  a  guarantor  to  creditors  to  the  extent  of  the  project’s  ongoing  capital  requirements.  On

September  22,  2015,  the signatories to the guaranty formally agreed to  maintain the  guaranty,

as necessary, until December 31, 2018, after which date the guaranty will expire.

The  guaranty  agreement  requires  that  within  30  days  of  receiving  a  demand  notice,  the

requested funds are made available by the guarantors to the Company.  Based on this guaranty

agreement,  management  believes  that  available  funds  are  sufficient  to  finance  cash  flows  for

the  twelve  months  subsequent  to  September  30,  2015  and  the  filing  date,  though  future

anticipated cash outflows for investing activities will continue to depend on the availability of

financing.

these restricted cash positions have been classified as long term.

The  restricted  cash  position  in  favor  of  BVK  Personalvorsorge  des  Cantons  Zurich  is  a  rental

Property and equipment is comprised primarily of land held in Costa Rica that is currently being

developed  for  hotels  and  capitalized  project  costs  in  connection  with  the  Papagayo  Gulf

Tourism  project.  The  land  amounts  to  $19.7  million  comprised  of  $7  million  related  to  the

concession held by Rich Land (~84,000 m2) and $12.7 million held by AdR (~120,000 m2).

The Rich Land concession is a right to use the property for a specific period of time of initially

20  years  from  the  date  of  grant,  which  thereafter  can  be  renewed  at  no  further  cost,  if  the

landholder is up to date with its obligations and if there is no significant change in government

policies. The current concession initially expired in June 2022.

The AdR concession is also a right to use the property for a specific period of time of initially

30  years  from  the  date  of  grant,  which  thereafter  can  be  renewed  at  no  further  cost,  if  the

landholder is up to date with its obligations and if there is no significant change in government

policies. The current concession initially expired in November 2036.

On  July  14,  2015  the  Consejo  del  Polo  de  DesarrolloTuristico  Papagayo  at  ICT  (Council  of

Papagayo  Tourism  Development  Project),  unanimously  has  approved  the  extension  of  both

concessions until 2052.

The construction in process through December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, is represented

primarily by architectural work related to the hotel  and  apartments as well as site work on the

respective properties.

Deposit related to construction work

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015,  most of the main earthmoving groundwork has

been  completed  for  which  work  the  Company  has  paid  several  deposits  to  contractors.  These

deposits  will  be  offset  against  invoices  for  such  groundwork.  As  of  September  30,  2015  and

December 31, 2014, the Company has deposits of $817,385 and $820,565 respectively,  which

have not yet been set off.

Agreement to purchase neighboring pieces of land

On  April  20,  2012,  the  Company  entered  into  an  agreement  to  purchase  two  additional

concession properties located at Polo Papagayo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica with a total surface of

approximately 230,000 square meters for $22,895,806, whereof fifty percent was to be paid in

cash and the other fifty percent through a combination of a 10 percent equity share in La Punta

(one  of  the  concession  properties  in  Polo  Papagayo)  and  a  five  percent  in  equity of  Paradisus

Papagayo  Bay Resort  &  Luxury Villas (currently under  development).  The  payment  schedule

was as follows:

-

$0.5 million is required as a cash payment by May 16, 2012

-

$5.0 million is required as a cash payment by August 31, 2012

-

$5.698 million is required as a cash payment by January 31, 2013

-

Equity is required to be transferred upon final payment

On November 13, 2012, the above agreement was amended to decrease the total purchase price

to  $17.2 million  with no equity shares. The terms and conditions of  the cash  payment  were to

be  defined.  Furthermore,  all  payments  by  the  Company  to  date  and  in  the  future  were  to  be

refundable in the event the Company did not complete the purchase. During the second quarter

of  2013,  the  Company  entered  into  a  new  agreement  for  the  purchase  of  the  two  additional

concession properties. The original contract as described above was cancelled and replaced by

a new contract, which included the following clauses:

-

The total purchase price is $17,500,000 of which $1,369,816 has been paid as of date of the new agreement

and therefore $16,130,184 remained outstanding as per date of the new agreement.

-

Since the original seller of these two additional concession properties at Polo Papagayo, Guanacaste owed a

third party $8,000,000 the Company was to pay $8,000,000 of the purchase price directly to this third party

instead of the original seller. The remaining $8,130,184 was to be paid directly to the original seller of the

concession properties.

-

The payment schedule for these two additional concession properties at Polo Papagayo Guanacaste was as

is detailed hereinafter:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The  guidance  on  fair  value  measurements  defines  fair  value  as  the  exchange  price  that  would

be  received  for  an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  (an  exit  price)  in  the  principal  or  most

advantageous  market  for  the  asset  or  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market

participants. This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of

inputs  used  in  valuation  techniques.  Observable  inputs  (highest  level)  reflect  market  data

obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally

developed market assumptions. In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are

classified under the following hierarchy:

Level 1

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2

Quoted  process  for  similar  instruments  in  active  markets,  quoted  prices  for  identical  or  similar

instruments  in  markets  that  are  not  active;  and  model-derived  valuations  in  which  significant

inputs or significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3

Model  derived  valuations  in  which  one  or  more  significant  inputs  or  significant  value-drivers

are unobservable.

When  available,  the Company uses  quoted  market  prices  to  determine  fair  value,  and classify

such  measurements  within  Level  1.  In  some  cases  where  market  prices  are  not  available,  the

Company  makes  use  of  observable  market  based  inputs  to  calculate  fair  value,  in  which  case

the  measurements  are  classified  within  Level  2.  If  quoted  or  observable  market  prices  are  not

available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current

market-based   parameters   such   as   interest   rates,   yield   curves   and   currency   rates.   These

measurements are classified within Level 3.

Fair  value measurements are classified according to the lowest level  input or  value-driver that

is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even

though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

Fair  value  measurement  includes  the  consideration  of  nonperformance  risk.  Nonperformance

risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  an  obligation  (either  by  counterparty  or  the  Company)  will  not  be

fulfilled.  For  financial  assets  traded  in  an  active  market  (Level  1),  the  nonperformance  risk  is

included  in  the  market  price.  For  certain  other  financial  assets  and  liabilities  (Level  2  and  3),

the Company’s fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.

As  of  September  30,  2015  and  December  31,  2014,  respectively,  there  are  no  financial  assets

or liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value.

In addition to the methods and assumptions to record the fair value of financial instruments as

discussed above, the Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair

value of our financial instruments:

Notes  payable  to  related  parties  -  Dr.  M.  Rӧssler  (current)  –The  fair  value  was  calculated  based  on  the  underlying

sufficient cash to repurchase the shares as of balance sheet date and hence repay the loans in shares.

EUR- bonds – The fair values of the bonds payable are classified as level 3 fair values. The fair values of the bonds

have been  determined  by discounting cash  flow  projections  discounted  at  the respective  interest  rates  of  7.25% for

EUR  bonds,  which  represents  the  current  market  rate  based  on  the  creditworthiness  of  the  Company.  Hence,  the

carrying values approximate fair value.

have been  determined  by discounting cash  flow projections  discounted at  the respective interest  rates  of  7.25% for

CHF  bonds,  which  represents  the  current  market  rate  based  on  the  creditworthiness  of  the  Company.  Hence,  the

carrying values approximate fair value.

Investments  Inc.  are  classified  as  level  3.  The  fair  values  of  the  notes  were  determined  by  discounting  cash  flow

projections  discounted  at  the  respective  interest  rates  of  7.25%,  which  represents  the  current  market  rate  based  on

the creditworthiness of the Company. Hence, the carrying value approximates fair value.

PENSION PLAN

The  Company  maintains  a  pension  plan  covering  all  employees  in  Switzerland.  The  plan  is

considered a defined benefit plan and accounted for in accordance with ASC 715 Compensation

- Retirement Benefits. This model allocates pension costs over the service period of employees

in the plan. The underlying principle is that employees render services ratably over this period,

and  therefore,  the  income  statement  effects  of  pensions  should  follow  a  similar  pattern.  ASC

715 requires recognition of the funded status, or difference between the fair value of plan assets

and   the   projected   benefit   obligations   of   the   pension   plan   on  the   balance  sheet,   with  a

corresponding  adjustment  recorded  in  the  net  loss.  If  the  projected  benefit  obligation  exceeds

the  fair  value  of  plan  assets,  then  that  difference  or  unfunded  status  represents  the  pension

liability.

The Company records a net periodic pension cost in the statement of comprehensive loss. The

liabilities and annual income or expense of the pension plan is determined using methodologies

that  involve  several  actuarial  assumptions,  the  most  significant  of  which  are  the  discount  rate

and  the  long-term  rate  of  asset  return  (based  on  the  market-related  value  of  assets).  The  fair

values of plan assets are determined based on prevailing market prices.

pension plan.

All of the assets are held under the collective contract by the plan’s re-insurer Company and are

invested  in  a  mix  of  Swiss  and  international  bond  and  equity  securities  within  the  limits

prescribed by the Swiss Pension Law.

The expected future cash flows to be paid by the Company in respect of employer contributions

to the pension plan for the year ended December 31, 2015 are $5,914.

Stock Options – Mr. Hans Rigendinger

The  Company  granted  to  Hans  Rigendinger,  in  connection  with  his  employment  contract,

10,000,000  options  on  January  1,  2013.  Each  option  entitles  Mr.  Rigendinger  to  buy  one

Company  share  at  a  strike  price  of  $0.05.  These  options  will  be  vested  in  two  identical

installments (installment A and B) of 5,000,000 options.

Installment  A  is  contingent  on  obtaining  a  financing  arrangement  for  the  Paradisus  Papagayo

Bay Resort  &  Luxury Villas  project.  As  of  the  grant  date,  the  fair  value  was  $300,000.  As  of

July   4,   2013,   the   Company   assessed   that   this   financing   arrangement   with   the   specific

counterparty  will   not  be  completed.  Therefore  the  Company  assessed  the  probability  of

completion to be zero and recognized no expense. On July 4, 2013, the Company authorized a

revised  stock  option  agreement.  This  removed  the  requirement  for  financing  with  a  specific

counterparty  and   updated   for   any  counterparty.   As   of   date   of   the  revised  stock  option

agreement, the fair value was $246,000. Installment A was modified on July 4, 2013, since the

initial  performance  condition  was  improbable  to  be  met.  Since  the  modification  changed  the

expectation  that  the  options  will  ultimately  vest  and  no  expense  had  been  recognized  for  the

original award, the fair value of the modified award has been expensed on a straight  line basis

over the expected vesting period.

For installment B, it is required that Meliá Hotels International (“Melía”) assume management

responsibilities  for  the  Paradisus  Papagayo  Bay Resort  &  Luxury  Villas  on  the  opening  date.

As  of  the  grant  date,  the  fair  value  was  $340,000  and  the  Company  had  estimated  that  Meliá

would  assume  responsibility  as  of  July 1,  2015.  As  of  March  6,  2014,  the  Company assessed

the  probability that  this  performance  condition  wiould  be  met  at  100%,  but  the  actual  date  on

which  this  performance condition is expected to be achieved  has  been postponed.  As  of April

14, 2015, the estimated opening date was postponed to the fourth quarter 2017. The Company

still assesses that the probability that this performance condition will be met at 100% as of the

new opening date. Hence, the remaining fair value of the award will be expensed on a straight-

line basis over the recalculated expected remaining vesting-period.

price of $0.05. These options have three different performance conditions.

For   installment   A   (3,000,000   options),   it   is   required   to   complete   a   bridge   financing

arrangement.  As  of  grant  date  the  fair  value  was  $149,000.  The  Company  expensed  the  total

fair value on a straight-line basis over the expected vesting period.

For installment B (4,000,000 options), it is required to complete a financing arrangement (main

financing arrangement  for Paradisus Papagayo  Bay Resort  & Luxury Villas). As of  grant date

the fair  value was $200,000. The Company has expensed the total  fair  value on a straight-line

basis over the expected vesting period.

For   installment   C   (5,000,000   options),   it   is   required   that   Meliá   assumes   management

responsibilities for Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas on the opening date. As of

the grant date, the fair value was $258,000 and the Company had estimated that Meliá assumes

responsibility  as  of  July  1,  2015.  As  of  March  6,  2014  the  Company  assessed  the  probability

that  this  performance  condition  would  be  met  at  100%,  but  the  actual  date  on  which  this

performance  condition  is  expected  to  be  achieved  was  postponed.  As  of  April  14,  2015  the

estimated  opening  date  was  postponed to the  fourth quarter  2017.  The Company still  assesses

the  probability  that  this  performance  condition  will  be  met  at  100%  as  of  the  opening  date.

Hence, the remaining fair value of the award will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the

recalculated expected remaining vesting-period.

OPENING DATE “PARADISUS PAPAGAYO BAY RESORT & LUXURY VILLAS”

On  June  2,  2014,  the  Company  amended  its  agreement  with  Meliá  (“Sixth  addendum  to  the

management agreement of March 8, 2011”) to postpone the opening date as follows:

-      The construction of the “Paradisus” will be completed by November 15, 2015

-      Should the “Paradisus” not be completed by November 15, 2015, (subject to force

majeure) and should an extension date not be agreed, subsequent to November 15,

2015, the Company will be obligated to pay Meliá  a daily amount of $2,000 as

liquidated damages.

-      Should the Company be unable to complete the construction of the “Paradisus” by

February 15, 2016, Meliá, can terminate the management agreement obligating the

Company to compensate Meliá in the amount of $5,000,000 unless the respective

parties agree to extend such date.

Since   the   completion   date   for   the   Paradisus   Papagayo   Bay   Resort   &   Luxury   Villas

development  is now anticipated for the fourth quarter  of  2017, the Company is in discussions

with  Meliá  regarding  another  addendum  that  would  allow  an  extension  of  the  deadlines

stipulated  in  the  Sixth  Addendum.  The  Company  is  confident  that  a  further  addendum  to  its

agreement with Meliá will be concluded. However, should the Company not  be successful, in

concluding  a  further  addendum,  the  penalty  for  not  achieving  the  most  recently  agreed

completion date would be $5,000,000.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  earnings  per  share  are  the  result  of  dividing  the Company’s  net  income  (or  net  loss)  by

the  weighted  average  number  of  shares  outstanding  for  the  contemplated  period.  Diluted

earnings  per  share  are  calculated  applying  the  treasury  stock  method.  When  there  is  a  net

income   dilutive   effect   all   stock-based   compensation   awards   or   participating   financial

instruments are considered. When the Company posts a loss, basic loss per share equals diluted

loss per share. The following table depicts how the denominator for the calculation of basic and

diluted earnings per share was determined under the treasury stock method.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date, through the issuance

of  the  financial  statements,  for  appropriate  accounting  and  disclosure.  The  Company  has

determined that there were no such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial

statements, except for the below:

Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas Project Financing

On  March  10,  2015,  the  Company  executed  a  letter  of  engagement  with  ISM  Capital  LLP,  a

London based investment firm, for the purpose of conducting a $100 million asset backed bond

issuance.  Despite  the  firm’s  commitment  to  identify  investors,  the  success  of  this  proposed

bond issuance for the amount contemplated or any lesser amount, does not guarantee that all or

part of the amount offered will be subscribed.

Option to Purchase Four Hotels in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland

On  October  12,  2015  the  Company  signed  an  option  agreement  for  the  acquisition  of  four

existing   hotels   in   the   Canton   of   Graubünden,   Switzerland.   The   properties   comprise   an

aggregate  of 141 rooms. The consideration for the option is CHF 300,000,  which amount  was

paid  on  October  25,  2015.  Should  the  transaction  not  close  before  a  date  that  is  yet  to  be

determined then the option consideration will not be refundable. In the even that the transaction

does close then this consideration will be allocated to the total purchase price for the hotels.

Share capital increase in SunVesta Holding AG

On November 3, 2015, the board of directors of SunVesta Holding AG approved an increase of

the  company’s  share  capital  from  CHF  10,000,000  par  value  CHF  1  each  by CHF  3,500,000  par

Discussion and Analysis

Business Overview

We are in the process of developing high-end luxury hotels and resorts worldwide. Our initial focus is

concentrated on offering luxury hotel products located in attractive, top-class coastal vacation

destinations in countries such as Costa Rica that are fast emerging as popular tourist destinations.

Each prospective development takes into consideration country specific conditions and general

considerations that include the stability of local political conditions, geologically useful cultivability,

and the types of destinations that attract a five-star clientele. Once identified as eligible, prospective

developments are compared against a validation checklist and then, if warranted, subjected to a

substantial due diligence process. Since location is the key to the success of any tourist based luxury

real estate project, each development will be carefully considered during the eligibility process.

Initial Development

Our initial real estate development, to be constructed in two phases as Vista Mar (Family Concierge)

and Vista Bahia (Royal Service), on 20.5 hectares of prime land located in Guanacaste Province,

Costa Rica, is the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas, a five-star luxury hotel. All

permitting for the project is in place, including permission to incorporate the beachfront adjacent to

the two concessions into the development and all significant site work completed. Vertical

construction is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2015, while the opening of.the Paradisus

Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas is scheduled for the fourth quarter 2017, subject to the

procurement of the requisite financing.

Management

Overall project development is led by Josef Mettler, our Chief Executive Officer, Charles Fessel,

Project Director Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas, Hans Rigendinger, Chairman of the

Board and Chief Operating Officer of SunVesta AG and Ernst Rosenberger, the Company’s

Corporate Controller. The lead architect is Ossenbach, Pendones & Bonilla, one of Costa Rica’s

largest architectural offices with over 45 architects and designers. Civil engineering services are

provided by DEHC Engineers and structural engineering services by IEAC. Landscape architects are

TPA and interior designers are led by Concreta Srl.

Resort management is to be provided by Melía Hotels International (“Melía”). “Paradisus” is Meliá’s

five star all-inclusive luxury hotel brand that is well recognized in the hospitality industry around the

world. Melía was founded in 1956 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain and is today one of the world’s largest

resort hotel chains, as well as Spain’s leading hotel chain for business or leisure. The company

currently offers more than 300 hotels in 26 countries over four continents under its Gran Sol Melía,

Sol Melía, ME by Sol Melía, Innside by Sol Melía, Tryp, Sol Melía, Sol Melía Vacation Club, and

Paradisus brands. The Paradisus brand represents all-inclusive luxury resorts with hotels in Mexico

and the Dominican Republic.

Since the completion date for the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas development is

now anticipated for the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company is in the process of reaching an

agreement to further amend the management agreement with Meliá dated August 18, 2014. The

amended agreement presently stipulates that if the Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villa’s is not

completed by February 15, 2016, and if an extension date is not agreed, then Meliá could terminate

the management agreement and cause the Company to pay a penalty of $5 million. The Company is

confident that an agreement will be reached to extend the completion date to the fourth quarter of

2017.

Additional Concession Properties

On April 20, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Meridian IBG (“Meridian”), as

amended on November 13, 2012, and replaced on May 7, 2013, to purchase two additional concession

properties in Polo Papagayo, Guanacaste, comprised of approximately 230,000 square meters for

$17,500,000. One of the concessions lies adjacent to the existing concessions (La Punta) and the other

is in close proximity to the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas development.

The Company had paid down-payments on the purchase of these properties of $2,669,816 as of

September 30, 2015, and is in discussions with Meridian regarding an amendment to the agreement.

Should the Company not be successful in obtaining an amendment to the agreement, it would have to

write-off $300,000 of that purchase price already paid in addition to a 5% penalty.

Swiss Hospitality Project

Subsequent to period end, on October 12, 2015, the Company signed an option agreement to acquire

four existing hotels in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland with an urelated third party. The

properties optioned comprise an aggregate of 141 rooms. The consideration for the option is CHF

300,000, which amount was paid on October 25, 2015. Should the transaction not close before a date

that is yet to be determined then the option consideration will not be refundable. In the event that the

transaction does close then this consideration will be allocated to the total purchase price for the

hotels.

Finance

The anticipated completion of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas in the fourth

quarter of 2017 will require a net investment of approximately $198 million (including non-

recuperated overhead expenses), of which approximately $60 million has been expended as of

September 30, 2015. We expect to realize a minimum of $140 million in new funding over the next

twelve months. New funding over the next twelve months is expected to be raised from debt financing

through bonds, shareholder loans and, if necessary, the guaranty agreement borne by certain principal

shareholders and participants in management. Detailed below is a brief description of material debt

follows:

    commence onsite vertical construction in the first quarter of 2016

    complete construction in the fourth quarter of 2017

    handover to Melía in the fourth quarter of 2017

Results of Operations

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, our operations were focused on (i)

completing earth work excavations on the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas property;

(ii)  furthering discussions with prospective project development partners; (iii) pursuing additional

debt financing to fund the construction of the project; (iv)  seeking approval to extend the term of the

concessions; (v) obtaining permission for an “Article 21” concession for beachfront properly adjacent

to the project.; and (vi) commencing the process to create sub-concessions for prospective villa

owners within the development.

The Company has been funded since inception from debt or equity placements and by shareholders or

partners in the form of loans. Capital raised to date has been allocated primarily to the development of

the Costa Rican property, including the purchase of the land and general and administrative costs.

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward

and startup costs that will offset future operating profits.

Capital Expenditures

The Company expended a significant amount on capital expenditures for the period from inception to

September 30, 2015, in connection with the purchase of land concessions in Costa Rica and expects to

incur future cash outflows on capital expenditure as discussed in the "Liquidity and Capital

Resources" and the "Going Concern" paragraphs below.

Total stockholders’ deficit

(32,807,306)     (22,631,089)

The Company’s negative net working capital of $23,981,813 is of concern; however, based on the

guaranty signed by certain principals, the Company is convinced that it can address liquiditiy

problems.

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 20, 2015, was

$3,137,324, as compared to $3,577,435 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2014. The

Company expects to continue to use net cash flow in operating activities until we complete the

Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas project, which completion is projected for the fourth

quarter of 2017.

42



Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $8,680,218

as compared to $7,913,484 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. Net cash used in

investing activities in the current nine-month period is comprised of other receivables from related

parties, recievables from related parties, the purchase of property and equipment, advance payments

to subcontractors, and down payments for property and equipment, offset by deposits related to

construction activities and restricted cash. Net cash used in investing activities in the prior comparable

nine month period was comprised of other receivables from related parties, the purchase of property

and equipment, interest paid in property and equipment and deposits related to construction.

We expect negative net cash flow in investing activities to continue while in the process of developing

the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, was

$12,030,782 as compared to $11,098,026  for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. Net

cash provided by financing activities in the current nine month period is comprised of proceeds from

notes payable to related parties, and bond issuances net of commissions, offset by a decrease in bank

liabilities, the repayment of outstanding bonds, debt issuance costs, and changes in other debt. Net

cash provided by financing activities in the prior comparable nine month period was comprised of

proceeds from a note payable and other long term debt,  proceeds from bond issuances net of

commissions and the sale of treasury stock, offset by the repayment of notes payable to related

parties, the repayment of outstanding bonds and debt issuance costs.

We expect net cash flow provided by financing activities to continue due to the financing necessary to

complete the development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas.

Management believes that cash on hand, related party loans and the assurance of the Guaranty

Agreement as described in the going concern paragraph below are sufficient for us to conduct

operations over the next twelve months.

We had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of September 30, 2015.

We have commitments for executed purchase orders and agreements in the amount of $57 million as

of September 30, 2015, in connection with the development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort &

Luxury Villas, which commitments are included in the required estimated net financing of $198

million to complete the project. Most material commitments are not contractually agreed as of the end

of the period. We have cancellable commitments to Meridian that are not included in the required

financing for the development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas of

approximately $15,000,000 as of September 30, 2015, for the purchase of two additional concession

properties in Polo Papagayo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

We maintain a defined benefit plan that covers all of our Swiss employees and have employment

agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer as of September 30, 2015.

We have no current plans for significant purchases or sales of plant or equipment, except in

connection with the planned construction of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas.

We have no current plans to make any changes in the number of our employees as of September 30,

2015.

43



Future Financings

A letter of engagement was executed with ISM Capital LLP (“ISM”), a London based investment

firm, on March 10, 2015, for the purpose of conducting a $100 million asset backed bond issuance.

Despite the firm’s commitment to identify investors, the success of this proposed bond issuance for

the amount contemplated or any lesser amount, does not guarantee that all or part of the amount

offered will be subscribed.

On October 4.,2015, the bilateral agreement with ISM was extended into a multilateral agreement, by

incorporating Stifel Ncolaus Europe Ltd (“Stifel”), to enlarge the territories in which the offering

could be effectively presented to include North America.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2015, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are

reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial

condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital

resources that are material to stockholders.

Going Concern

The Company intends to build a hotel in the Papagayo Gulf Tourism Project area of Guanacaste,

Costa Rica. The total net investment is estimated to be approximately $198 million.

The project is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2017. Until the completion of the project, the

following expenditures are estimated to be incurred:

a.     Gross project cost

$

208,000,000

b.    Less: Proceeds from sale of villas

(25,000,000)

c.     Net project cost

183,000,000

d.    Overhead expenses

27,000,000

e.     Less: Recuperated in gross project cost

(12,000,000)

f      Total, excluding other potential projects

$

198,000,000

Sixty percent (60%) of the “Net project cost” is intended to be financed through the issuance of

secured bonds, for which negotiations have been initiated. The remaining forty percent (40% of  the

“Net project cost”, as well as “non-recuperated overhead expenses” and the cost of potential “other

projects” are intended to be financed by the main shareholders or lenders of the project in the absence

of alternative financing committements, i.e. Zypam Ltd., shareholder and related entity to Mr. Josef

Mettler, Mr. Hans Rigendinger, shareholder, Chief Operating Officer and Company Board Member,

Dr. Max Rössler, Company Board Member and controlling shareholder of Aires, Mr Josef Mettler,

shareholder, Director and Chief Executive Officer.

On July 16, 2012, certain principal shareholders of the Company or principal lenders to the project

entered into a guaranty agreement in favor of SunVesta AG. The purpose of the guaranty is to ensure

that until such time as financing is secured for the entire project that they will act as a guarantor to

creditors to the extent of the project’s ongoing capital requirements. On September 22, 2015, the

signatories to the guaranty formally agreed to maintain the guaranty, as necessary, until December 31,

2018, after which date the guaranty will expire.The guaranty agreement requires that within 30 days

of receiving a demand notice, the requested funds are made available by the guarantors to the

Company. Based on this Guaranty Agreement, management believes that available funds are

sufficient to finance cash flows for the twelve months subsequent to September 30, 2015, and the filing date, though future anticipated cash outflows for investing activities will continue to depend on the availability of financing.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this annual report, an evaluation was carried out by the

Company’s management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial

officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
