CORPORATE INFORMATION

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

(collectively “the Company”). SunVesta AG held 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  España  SL  (“España”),  a  Spanish

company.  Effective  May  21,  2016,  AdR  absorbed  Richland  and  SVCR  and  changed  its  name  to

SunVesta Costa Rica SA.

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

investments in the hospitality and related industry. The Company has one major project in Costa Rica.

Planning  for  this  project  has  been  fully  completed,  all  consents  have  been  granted,  and  excavation

work began in March 2013. The Company is still in process of  securing financing for the project and

has  not  realized  revenue  to  date.  Since  the  financing  of  the  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,  2015, 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, 2016.

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, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New accounting standard updates – not adopted yet

In  February  2016,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  Accounting  Standards

Update  2016-02,  Leases  (Topic  842).  The  standard  requires  the  recognition  of  lease  assets  and  lease

liabilities  by lessees  for  those  leases  classified  as  operating leases.  Leases  will  be classified  as  either

finance  or  operating,  with  classification  affecting  the  pattern  of  expense  recognition.  The  standard

requires lessors to classify leases as either  sales-type,  finance or  operating.  A  sales-type  lease occurs

if  the  lessor  transfers  all  of  the  risks  and  rewards,  as  well  as  control  of  the  underlying  asset,  to  the

lessee.  If  risks  and  rewards  are  conveyed  without  the  transfer  of  control,  the  lease  is  treated  as  a

financing lease. If  the lessor  does not  convey risks and rewards or  control, an operating lease results.

The  standard  will  become  effective  for  the  Company  beginning  January  1,  2019.  The  Company  is

currently  assessing  the  impact  adoption  of  this  standard  will  have  on  its  consolidated  results  of

operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

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.

New accounting standard updates - adopted

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  is  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.  The  application  of  this  ASU

resulted in the reclassification of debt issuance cost and the relating amortization.

The Company had unamortized debt issuance costs of $2,700,664 and $2,995,209 as of June 30, 2016

and December 31, 2015 respectively. The Company reclassified amortization of debt issuance cost and

commissions in the amount of  $297,040 and $446,204 to interest  expense for  the periods ended June

30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

This ASU was applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

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  2018.  Until  the

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

a.      Gross project cost

$

217,000,000

b.      Less: Proceeds from sale of villas

(25,000,000)

c.      Net project cost

192,000,000

d.      Overhead expenses

20,000,000

e.      Total, excluding other potential projects

$

212,000,000

Seventy percent (70%) of the net project cost is intended to be financed through the issuance of secured

bonds, for which negotiations have been initiated. The remaining thirty percent (30%) 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, i.e. 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,  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 the Company. The purpose of the guaranty is to ensure

that  until  financing is secured  for  the entire project  that  they will  act  as guarantors  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, requested funds

are  made  available  by the  guarantors  to the  Company.  Based  on this  guaranty,  management  believes

that available funds are sufficient to finance cash flows for the twelve months subsequent to June 30,

2016  and  the  filing  date,  though  future  anticipated  cash  outflows  for  investing  activities  continue  to

depend on the availability of financing.

Restricted  cash  positions  in  favor  of  Costa  Rican  Tourism  Board  and  Costa  Rican  Environmental

Agency    SETANA  are  related  to  the  hotel  project  in  Costa  Rica  and  therefore  their  release  is  not

expected  before  finalization  of  the  corresponding  project.  Due  to  this  fact  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 deposit

related  to  a  long  term  lease  contract  for  office  space.  Due  to  this  fact  this  restricted  cash  position  is

also classified as long term.

6.    NOTE RECEIVABLE

On  June  15,  2015,  the  Company  granted  REP  Caribbean  Development  Corporation,  a  third  party,  a

short  term advance in the amount  of  $250,000. The repayment  was due on November  30, 2015, with

a  fixed  interest  payment  of  $5,000.  The  advance  is  secured  by  a  non-related  Swiss  individual.  On

December  10,  2015,  the  advance  was  increased  by  $25,000.  Including  accrued  fixed  interest,  the

overdue amount at June 30, 2016, was approximately $280,000.

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 approved the extension of both concessions until 2052.

The  construction  in  process  through  December  31,  2015  and June  30,  2016,  is  represented  primarily

by architectural work related to the hotel and apartments as well as construction work.

Deposit related to construction work

For  the  quarter  ended June 30,  2016, the  Company  made  deposits  with  several  contractors to  initiate

earth  moving  groundwork.  These  deposits  will  be  offset  against  invoices  for  such  groundwork  as

completed. As of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the Company has deposits of $642,388 and

$798,874 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, with a total surface of approximately 230,000 square

meters for $23,395,806 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  (the concession  properties  in  Polo Papagayo)

and  five  percent  in  equity  of  Paradisus  Papagayo  Bay  Resort  &  Luxury  Villas  (currently  under

development). Both of these properties are located in Costa Rica.

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

$17,200,200  with  no  equity  payments.  The  terms  and  conditions  of  the  cash  payment  were  to  be

defined. Furthermore, all payments by the Company to date and in the future became refundable.

During  the  second  quarter  of  2013,  the  Company  entered  into  a  new,  revised  agreement  for  the

purchase of the said properties. The original contract (including amendments) 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

revised  agreement  and  therefore  $16,130,184  was  outstanding  as  per  date  of  the  new,  revised

agreement.

Since  the  original  seller  owes  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 were

to be paid directly to the original seller. Payment schedules were defined.

DOWN PAYMENTS FOR PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT - Continued

Agreement to purchase neighboring pieces of land - continued

In  light  of  the  above  situation  the  Company  is  in  discussions  with  the  original  seller  regarding  an

extension and adaptation of the current agreement, which, for all practical reasons, must be considered

obsolete.

Additionally, a failure to pay will lead to liquidated damages of 5% of any instalments paid toward the

purchase price. Should the Company not  be successful in obtaining a time extension for  the payment

of  the  purchase price or  amendment  to the purchase  agreement, it  will  have to  write-off  $300,000  of

that purchase price paid in 2013 for the new, revised agreement and 5% of additional damages on the

additional $1,000,000 paid for a total of $50,000, which is not refundable as per contract terms.

Both, the $300,000 write-off as well as the $50,000 for additional damages have been provided for in the

results of the second quarter 2016.

Down payment for Purchase Four Hotels in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland

On  September  19,  2015,  the  Company  signed  an  option  agreement  to  acquire  four  existing  hotels  in

the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland with an un-related 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.

Dated May 10, 2016, the Company, QuadEquity Holdings AG and the potential seller of the four hotels

concluded an agreement, whereby QuadEquity Holdings AG assumed all of the Company’s rights and

obligations from the original contract. In return, QuadEquity Holdings AG will pay the Company the

amount of $302,000 (CHF 300,000) before May 30, 2016. This payment was received by the Company

on June 1, 2016.

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 followinghierarchy:

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  classifies  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  June  30,  2016  and  December  31,  2015,  respectively,  there  are  no  financial  assets  or  liabilities

measured on a recurring basis at fair value with the exception of the liability related to the conversion

feature.

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:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT - Continued

Cash and cash equivalents – carrying amount approximated fair value.

nature of the receivables.

Accounts Payable – carrying amount approximated fair value.

Note payable – carrying amount approximated fair value due to the short term nature of the note payable.

Bank liabilities - carrying amount approximated fair value due to the short term nature of bank liabilities.

Notes receivable - carrying amount approximated fair value.

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

underlying  publicly  traded  shares.  However,  the  Company  records  the  loan  at  nominal  value.  The

Company does not have sufficient cash to repurchase the shares as of balance sheet date and hence repay

the loans in shares.

Notes payable to related parties – (current) – carrying amount approximated fair value due to the short

term nature of the notes payable.

EUR– bond (old) – carrying amount approximated fair value due to its short term nature

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.

CHF-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 CHF bonds, which represents the current market rate based on the creditworthiness of

the Company. Hence, the carrying values approximate fair value.

Notes  payable  to  related  parties    Aires  (non-current)    The  fair  values  of  the  notes  payable  to  Aires

International  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.

Convertible  CHF-bonds    The  fair  values  of  the  convertible  bonds  payable  are  classified  as  level  3  fair

values.  The  fair  values  of  the  convertible  bonds  have  been  determined  by  discounting  cash  flow

projections  discounted  at  the  respective  interest  rates  of  6.00%  for  convertible  CHF  bonds,  which

represents  the  current  market  rate  based  on  the  creditworthiness  of  the  Company.  Hence,  the  carrying

values approximate fair value.

Liability  related  to  conversion  feature  -  The  fair  value  of  the  liability  related  to  conversion  feature  is

classified  as  level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the liability is determined using a Black

Scholes  model  to  calculate  the  option  value  at  each  reporting  date  and  multiplied  by  the  number  of

potentially convertible shares. Hence the carrying value of the obligation approximates the fair value.

Loans Dr. Max Rӧssler

In  2012,  Dr.  Max  Rössler,  a  related  party,  provided  loans  totaling  $0.8  million  that  were  initially

repayable  in  December  2012,  but  were  extended  through  December  2015.  These  loans  were  to  be

repaid in cash or with the delivery of certain shares of equity in two public companies. The Company

had the right of settlement and carried the loans at their fair values, which was the amount of cash paid

in without considerations for the change in value of the underlying securities. In December 2015, Dr.

Rössler and the  Company settled these  loans through a  transfer to a  separate  debtor  - Aires  -   of

In   October   2015,   Sunvesta   Holding   AG,   a   wholly   owned   subsidiary   of   the   Company   settled

approximately $27,300,000 worth of old CHF-Bonds which had matured on August 31, 2015 and were

extended  through  September  30,  2015  (i.e.  unpaid).  These  were  rolled  forward/exchanged  into  two

substantially different  convertible bonds of  Sunvesta Holding AG. One is a $45,000,000 Convertible

Bond  and  the  other  a  $15,000,000  Convertible  Bond  as  is  discussed  in  tables  above.  These  new

Convertible  bonds  are  substantially  different  than  the  previous  CHF  bonds  that  matured  in  the  third

quarter  of  2015  and  this  is  subsequently  accounted  for  as  an  extinguishment.  The  Company  has

recorded a loss on extinguishment equal to the fair value of the conversion feature. Third party issuance

costs  totaling  $3,100,000  have  been  capitalized  and  amortized  over  the  life  of  the  bonds  under  the

effective interest rate method. Finally, the change of the fair value of the liability related to conversion

feature was expensed in the period.

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.

Stock Options – Mr. Hans Rigendinger

The Company granted to Hans Rigendinger, in connection with his employment contract, 10,000,000

stock 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  with a specific counterparty.  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”)  assumes  management

responsibilities  for  Paradisus  Papagayo  Bay  Resort  &  Luxury Villas.  As  of  grant  date,  the  fair  value

was $340,000 and the Company estimated that Meliá assumes responsibility as of July 1, 2015. Asof

March 6, 2014 the Company still assesses the probability that this performance condition will be met

at 100%, but the date the performance condition will be achieved was postponed to the fourth quarter

2015, as the opening date was postponed. As of the date of this report, the estimated opening date was

postponed to the fourth quarter 2018. The Company still assessed the probability that this performance

condition  will  be  met  at  100%.  Hence,  the  remaining  fair  value  of  the  award  will  be  expensed  on  a

straight-line basis over the recalculated expected remaining vesting period.

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

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. As of grant date, the fair value was $258,000 and

16, 2015, the Company agreed with the counterparty to extend the due date through March 16, 2016.

On April  21, 2016, the Company signed a new agreement, which stipulated new payment  terms. The

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.

Dated April 27, 2016, a seventh addendum has been signed between the Company and Meliá with

the following major conditions:

a.

New completion date: September 15, 2018 (subject to force majeure)

b.

Should  the  completion  not  occur  by  September  15,  2018,  and  should  the  parties  not  have

agreed in writing an extension to such date, after September 15, 2018, the Company shall pay Meliá

a daily amount of USD $2,000 as liquidated damages.

c.

Should  the  completion  not  occur  by  November  15,  2018,  the  Meliá  will  be  entitled  to

terminate the agreement unless the parties agree in writing to extend such date. The Company shall

be obliged to pay Meliá an amount of USD $5,000,000 as liquidated damages solely to compensate

Meliá.

As  the seventh addendum was  not  in place at  March 31,  2016, the provisions  of the  sixth  addendum

had to be taken into consideration. Consequently, an accrual in the amount of $5 million was charged

against  general  and  administrative  expenses  in  the  first  quarter  2016.  In  light  of  the  signed  seventh

addendum,   this   accrual   has   been   reversed   in   the   second   quarter   of   2016   under   general   and

administrative expenses within the statement of comprehensive loss.

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

actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors

that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition  below.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes hereto

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 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 on 20.5 hectares of prime land located in Guanacaste Province, Costa

Rica, is the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas project includes two concepts; i.e. the Vista

Mar (Family Concierge) and the Vista Bahia (Royal Service), 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 first quarter of 2017, while the opening of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas is

scheduled for the fourth quarter 2018, subject to the procurement of the requisite financing.

Specifications

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 Laboratiro

Quattro.

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 2018, the Company reached an an agreement dated April 28, 2016, to

further amend the management agreement with Meliá dated March 8, 2011. The amended agreement

presently stipulates that if the Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villa’s is not completed by November 15,

2018, 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. As the seventh addendum was not in place at June 30,

2016, the provisions of the sixth addendum had to be taken into consideration. Consequently, an accrual in

the amount of $5 million was charged against operating expenses. In light of the seventh addendum to the

management agreement, this accrual was reversed in the second quarter of 2016.

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 June 30,

2016, 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.

Both, the $300,000 write-off as well as the $50,000 for additional damages have been provided for in the

results of the second quarter 2016.

Swiss Hospitality Project

On September 19, 2015, the Company signed an option agreement to acquire four existing hotels in the

Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland with an unrelated 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.

Dated May 10, 2016, the Company, QuadEquity Holdings AG and the potential Seller of the four hotels

concluded an agreement, whereby QuadEquity Holdings AG assumed all of the Company’s rights and

obligations from the original contract. In return, QuadEquity Holdings AG will pay the Company the amount

of $302,000 (CHF 300,000) before May 30, 2016. This payment was received on June 1, 2016.

Finance

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

2018 will require a net investment of approximately $212 million (including non-recuperated overhead

expenses), of which approximately $60 million has been expended as of June 30, 2016. 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 obligations as of period end.

Bonds

The Company has four bond issues outstanding, denominated in EUR () or Swiss Francs (CHF).

units of 10,000 that bear interest at 7.25% per annum payable each December 1 over a three-year term that

matures on December 2, 2016. We had realized carrying values of $6,715,145 as of the year ended

December 31, 2015, and $6,901,094 as of June 30, 2016, for a cumulative amount of $7.65 million as of the

year ended December 31, 2015 and $1,710,846 as of June 30, 2016, for a cumulative amount of $1.83

million as of the date of this report.

and $32,379,230 as of June 30, 2016, for a cumulative amount of $35.39 million as of the date of this report.

Aires International Investment, Inc.

On July 27, 2011, SunVesta AG entered into a line of credit agreement with Aires International Investments

Inc. (Aires), a company owned by Dr. Rӧssler (a director of the Company). The loan agreement was

amended on May 11, 2012 and on June 21, 2012 and then replaced by a new loan agreement on October 31,

2013, that included the following conditions:

    All existing loan agreements or credit facilities, including amendments, between SunVesta AG

and Aires were cancelled and superseded by the new loan agreement.

    The loans are due after December 31, 2017 and before December 31, 2020.

40



    Despite the scheduled repayment dates, each party has the option to cancel the  loan agreement

with a prior notice period of 90 days, requiring repayment of the loans in full.

    Loan amounts outstanding including any additional amounts and additions are subordinated.

    Interest on the loan amounts is 7.25% per annum, which charge is accrued to the loan account.

The Company had borrowed $46,266,183 from Aires as of June 30, 2016 and $47,198,362 as of December

31, 2015.

During the second quarter of 2016 Aires assigned the amount of approximately $4.6 million of its

receivable from SunVesta to Global Care AG. Global Care AG, also a related party of Dr. Max Rössler,

acquired with this amount convertible bonds in the same amount (CHF 4,5 Mio.)

Loans Dr. Max Rӧssler

In 2012, Dr. Max Rössler, a related party, provided loans totaling $0.8 million that were initially repayable in

December 2012, but were extended through December 2015. These loans were to be repaid in cash or with

the delivery of certain shares of equity in two public companies. The Company had the right of settlement

and carried the loans at their fair values, which was the amount of cash paid in without considerations for the

change in value of the underlying securities. In December 2015, Dr. Rössler and the Company settled these

loans through a transfer to a separate debtor - Aires - of $1,551,669 (CHF 1,535,900). The Company assessed

this debt modification to be an extinguishment under the guidance prescribed in ASC 470-50 and

correspondingly recognized a Loss on Extinguishment in its statements of comprehensive loss for $748,466

for the year ended December 31, 2015.

In the second quarter 2016, Dr. Max Rössler provided $2,698,283 (CHF 2,640,000). Interest of $16,567 was

recorded in this period. Effective June 30, 2016 both amounts were transferred to the loan account with

Global Care AG.

Loan Global Care AG

During 2014, Global Care AG loaned the Company $190,270 (CHF 185,000), which amount was repayable

on October 31, 2014. The loan includes a fixed interest payment of $20,570 (CHF 20,000). As of the date of

this report, both amounts are overdue. According to the agreement, there are no penalties for late payment.

As explained in the preceding note, effective June 30, 2016 an amount of $2,714,850 (CHF 2,656,083) was

transferred from the loan account Dr. Max Rössler to the loan account Global Care AG.

Payable to Josef Mettler

As of June 30, 2016, there is neither a receivable from nor payable to Josef Mettler.

DIA S.A. and his successor Blue Dot S

On March 8, 2013, the Company entered into an interest free loan agreement with DIA S.A. and his

successor Blue Dot SA respectively in the amount of $2,000,000 payable on March 8, 2014, in connection

with the purchase of land concession being part of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas

project from Altos held in the name of Altos del Risco S.A. The terms of the loan agreement were amended

on March 16, 2015, to extend the due date for said payable until March of 2016.

On April 21, 2016, the Company signed a new agreement, which stipulated new payment terms. The total

amount of $2,000,000 is now repayable in four quarterly instalments of $500,000 each, starting on August

21, 2016.

Timeline

Our expected timeline for developing the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas is as follows:

    commence onsite vertical construction in the first quarter of 2017

    complete construction in the fourth quarter of 2018

    handover to Melía in the fourth quarter of 2018

Results of Operations

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 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.

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.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

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 June

30, 2016, in connection with the purchase of land concessions in Costa Rica, as well as the planning and

construction of the project and expects to incur future cash outflows on capital expenditure as discussed in

the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and the "Going Concern" paragraphs below.

The Company’s negative net working capital of $30,904,404 is of concern; however, based on the guaranty

signed by certain principals, the Company believes that it can address liquidity problems.

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, was $6,499,363, as

compared to $3,806,738 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.

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 2018.

44



Net cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, was $973,070 as

compared to $4,691,170 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. Net cash used in investing activities

in the current six-month period is comprised of the purchase of property and equipment, and deposits related

to construction, offset by receivables from related party’s collection of cash for a down payment and

restricted cash. Net cash used in investing activities in the prior comparable six-month period was comprised

of the purchase of property and equipment, down-payments for property and equipment offset by receivables

from related parties, deposits related to construction and restricted cash. 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2016, was $7,399,141 as

compared to $9,191,280 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. Net cash provided by financing

activities in the current six-month period is comprised of proceeds from notes payable to related parties, and

proceeds from bond issuances net of commissions, offset by a decrease in bank liabilities repayment of notes

payable to related parties, the payment of debt issuance costs, and changes in other debt. Net cash provided

by financing activities in the prior comparable six-month period was comprised of proceeds from notes

payable related parties, and proceeds from bond issuances net of commissions, offset by the decrease in bank

liabilities, the payment of debt issuance costs, and changes in other debt. 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 formal lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of June 30, 2016. However, the

Company’s main bank allowed a short term overdraft.

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

30, 2016, in connection with the development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas, which

commitments are included in the required estimated net financing of $192 million (excluding overhead

expenses) 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

June 30, 2016, 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 June 30, 2016.

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 June 30, 2016.

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. On October 4,

2015, the bilateral agreement with ISM was extended into a multilateral agreement, by incorporating Stifel

Ncolaus Europe Ltd, to enlarge the territories in which the offering could be effectively presented to include

North America. In June 2016, the respective parties agreed to terminate the cooperation, which did not

provide the anticipated results. A formal termination letter has been prepared and a termination fee of

$100,000 was agreed by the parties and charged to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

45



On May 9, 2016, the Company signed an agreement with “Median Trust SA”, by which this service provider

is mandated to set-up a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), as a “Compartment” in accordance with

Luxembourg law. The objective of the SPV is to obtain an investment grade rating and to make a bond

offering of not less than $100 million. The SPV will therefore be the issuer, however, the responsibility to

place the bonds remains with the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2016, 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 $212 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

$

217,000,000

b.    Less: Proceeds from sale of villas

(25,000,000)

c.    Net project cost

192,000,000

d.    Overhead expenses

20,000,000

e.    Total, excluding other potential projects

$

212,000,000

Seventy percent (70%) of the “Net project cost” is intended to be financed through the issuance of secured

bonds, for which negotiations have been initiated. The remaining thirty percent (30% 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

commitments, 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 June 30, 2016, and the filing date, though future anticipated cash

outflows for investing activities will continue to depend on the availability of financing.
