CORPORATE INFORMATION

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

(“SunVesta   AG”).   Until   recently,   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,  the  three  Costa  Rican  companies  have  been  merged,  whereby

Altos  del  Risco  SA  absorbed  its  two  affiliated  companies  and  subsequently  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  $2,375,877  and  $2,995,209  as  of

September  30,  2016  and  December  31,  2015  respectively.  The  Company  reclassified

amortization  of  debt  issuance  cost  and  commissions  in  the  amount  of  $792,583  and

$674,617 to interest expense for the three- months’ periods ended September 30, 2016 and

September 30, 2015, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

New accounting standard updates – adopted - continued

This ASU was applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

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

Standards  Updates  (ASU)  2016-15  which  clarifies  how  certain  cash  receipts  and  cash

payments are presented and classified in the statement of  cash flows. The amendments are

intended  to  reduce  diversity  in  practice.  As  the  update  specifies  presentation  in  certain

particular   cases,   they   have   no   impact   on   the   company’s   financial   statement   as   of

September 30, 2016, respectively.

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  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  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  the  late  Mr.  Josef  Mettler,  Mr.  Hans  Rigendinger,  shareholder,  Company

Director  and  interim  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Dr.  Max  Rӧssler,  controlling  shareholder  of

Aires International Investment, Inc. and Company Director.

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.

On  October  28,  2016,  Hans  Rigendinger  and  Dr.  Max  Rössler  formally  agreed  to  maintain

the  guaranty,  as  necessary, until  completion  of  the  construction of  Paradisus  Papagayo  Bay

Resort & Luxury Villas, 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  September  30,  2016  and  the  filing  date,  though  future

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

financing.

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  related  to  the

concessions  held  by  SunVesta  Costa  Rica  SA.  $7  million  (~84,000  m2)  and  $12.7

million (~120,000 m2).

The  $7  million  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  $12.7  million  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  September  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  September  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    September    30,   2016   and

December    31,    2015,    the    Company    has    deposits    of   $190,577   and   $798,874

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 with a total purchase price of $17,500,000.

reasons, must be considered obsolete.

Additionally,  a  failure  to  pay  will  lead  to  liquidated  damages  of  5%  of  any  installments

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

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  September  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:

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

underlying  publically  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 convertibleshares.

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   presented   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  financing  is  therefore  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  at  inception  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

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.

within the limits set out by the Swiss pension law.

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  would

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

the probability that this performance condition  would  be  met  at  100%,  but  the  date,  up  to

which  the  performance  condition  would  have  to  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, as was the required date

of   the   performance   condition.   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.

Stock Options Dr. Max Rӧssler

The  Company  granted  to  Dr.  Max  Rӧssler,  in  connection  with  his  appointment  to  the

Board  of  Directors,  10,000,000  stock  options  on  July  3,  2013.  Each  option  entitles  Dr.

Rӧssler 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.

For  installment  A  (5,000,000  options),  it  is  required  to  complete  a  financing  arrangement

for the Project. As of  grant date, the fair  value was $249,835. The Company expensed the

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

Stock Options – late Mr. Josef Mettler

The  Company  granted  to  the  late  Josef  Mettler,  in  connection  with  his  employment

contract,  12,000,000  stock  options  on  July  4,  2013.  Each  option  entitled  the  late  Mr.

Mettler  to  buy  one  share  at  a  strike  price  of  $0.05.  These  options  had  three  different

performance conditions.

For  installment  A  (3,000,000  options),  it  was  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   was   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  was  required  that  Meliá  assumes  management

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

fair  value  was  $258,000  and  the  Company estimated that  Meliá assumes  responsibility as

of  July 1,  2015.  As  of  March  6,  2014  the  Company  still  assessed  the  probability that  this

performance  condition  would  be  met  at  100%,  but  the date, up to which the performance

condition  would  have  to  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,  as  was  the  required  date  of   the  performance

condition.

Due  to  his  passing  away  during  the  third  quarter  2016,  the  probability  that  any  of  the

above  performance  condition  will  be  met  is  0%.  Therefore,  all  previously  recognized

expenses in the amount of $561,064 – corresponding to options that have not yet vested for

all installments above – have been reversed as of September 30, 2016.

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.

concluded   an   agreement   with   Concreta   S.R.L   for   the   “Design   &   Execution   Plans,

Logistics, Supply and Installation of all  Interiors” for the “Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury

Villas”  project  in  Costa  Rica.  Over  time,  the  project  developed  differently  to  what  the

parties   expected.   Consequently,   contract   renegotiations   became   necessary.   As   these

renegotiations  could  not  be  finalized  satisfactorily,  the  Company  terminated  the  existing

contract  effective  February  3,  2016.  In  the  meantime,  a  settlement  agreement  is  being

discussed,  which,  if  signed  by  the  parties,  is  probable  to  settle  for  an  estimated  amount  of

$600,000.  This  amount  is  accounted  for  as  of  September  30,  2016,  under  consulting

expenses.

21.

OTHER EVENTS

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”), to be  called

“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 be the issuer, however, the responsibility to place the bonds remains

with the Company. As of the date of this report, the SPV has not yet been established.

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.

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

Management

Overall project development is led by Hans Rigendinger, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive

Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, Charles Fessel, Project Director Paradisus

Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas 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

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.

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, 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 (accounted for as impairment expenses) as well as the

$50,000 for additional damages (accounted for as general and administrative expenses) have

been provided for in the results year-to-date 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 was CHF 300,000, which

amount was paid on October 25, 2015. Dated May 10, 2016, the Company, QuadEquity Holdings

AG and the 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

September 30, 2016. We expect to realize a minimum of $140 million in new funding over the

Results of Operations

During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 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.

The variance in losses over the comparative three- month periods is reconciled below:

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

September 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 $33,768,793 is of concern; however, based on the

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

problems.

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, was

$6,053,988, as compared to $3,137,324 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015.

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

fourth quarter of 2018.

$1,480,178 as compared to $8,680,218 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. Net

cash used in investing activities in the current nine-month period is comprised of the purchase of

property and equipment, and deposits related to construction, offset by a sale of equipment, a

collection of cash for a down payment and restricted cash. Net cash used in investing activities in the

prior comparable nine-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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, was

$10,382,963 as compared to $12,030,782 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. Net

cash provided by financing activities in the current nine-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 nine-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 September 30, 2016.

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

as of September 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 September 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.

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 plans to make any changes in the number of our employees as of September 30, 2016.

Future Financings

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. As of the date of this

report, the SPV has not yet been established.

As of September 21, 2016, the Company has started the distribution of a new bond in the amount of

CHF 20.0 million, to be underwritten until November 30, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 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 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 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 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 the late Mr.

Josef Mettler, Mr. Hans Rigendinger, shareholder, interim Chief Executive Officer and Company

Board Member and Dr. Max Rössler, Company Board Member and controlling shareholder of

Aires.

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.

On September 12, 2016, the signatories to the guaranty formally agreed to maintain the guaranty, as

necessary, until completion of the construction of Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas,

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, 2016, and the filing date,

though future anticipated cash outflows for investing activities will continue to depend on the

availability of financing.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly 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 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls

and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or

submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time

periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated

and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer,

to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period

covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective

in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within

the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information was

not accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the

chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, there has been no change in internal control over

financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our

internal control over financial reporting.
