SUNVESTA, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
On August 27, 2007, SunVesta Inc. (SunVesta) acquired SunVesta Holding AG (SunVesta AG)
(collectively the Company). SunVesta AG has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: SunVesta Projects and
Management AG, a Swiss company; Rich Land Investments Limitada, a Costa Rican company (Rich
Land); and SunVesta Costa Rica Limitada, a Costa Rican company.
In January 2005 (date of inception of development stage), the Company changed its business focus to the
development of holiday resorts and investments in the hospitality and related industry. The Company has
not materialized any revenues yet and is therefore a development stage company.
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in US Dollars (US $) on the basis of generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP).
The accompanying unaudited 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 Companys Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2011, 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,
2012.
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 Companys Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, those
footnotes are included herein by reference.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New accounting standards - adopted
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update
("ASU") 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value
Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which results in a consistent
definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value
between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 is
effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard
had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position. See Note 16 for additional information.

SUNVESTA, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
New accounting standards - not yet adopted
In February 2013, the FASB released ASU 2013-02 Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The
amendments in this Update supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out
of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASUs 2011-05 (issued in June 2011) and 2011-12 (issued
in December 2011) for all public and private organizations. The amendments would require an entity to
provide additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income.
This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2012-
240Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) which has been deleted. The amendments do not change the
current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.
However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of
accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present,
either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income
but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its
entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be
reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures
required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. For public entities, the
amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The
adoption of this ASU is not expected to materially impact the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2011, the FASB released ASU 2011−11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011−11 requires companies to provide new disclosures about
offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of ASU
2011−11 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and are required
to be applied retrospectively. When adopted, ASU 2011−11 is not expected to materially impact the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB released ASU 2011−10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360):
Derecognition of in Substance Real Estatea Scope Clarification (a consensus of the FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force). ASU 2011−10 clarifies when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling
financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiarys
nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance for Real Estate Sale (Subtopic 360−20).
The provisions of ASU 2011−10 are effective for public companies for fiscal years and interim periods
within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. When adopted, ASU 2011−10 is not expected to
materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. GOING CONCERN
The Company is currently working on building the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas
project in the Papagayo Gulf Tourism Project area of Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
The project is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2014. Until the completion of the project, the
following expenditures are estimated to be incurred:
Gross project cost
$
195,000,000
Less: Proceeds from sale of villas
$
- 24,000,000
Net project cost

21,000,000
Less: Recuperated in gross project cost
$
-12,000,000
Total, excluding other potential projects
$
180,000,000
60 % of Net project cost is going to be financed by traditional mortgage loans, for which promising
negotiations have been initiated. The remaining 40 % of Net project cost, as well as non-recuperated
overhead expenses and the cost of potential other projects are going to be financed by the main
shareholders or lenders of the project, i.e. Zypam Ltd., shareholder, Mr. Hans Rigendinger, shareholder
and board member of SunVesta Holding AG, Mr.Max Rössler, majority shareholder of Aires
International Investment, Inc. (Aires) (also refer to Note 7), Mr Josef Mettler, shareholder, director and
Chief Executive Officer.
Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the shareholders referenced above signed a Guaranty Agreement (refer to
Note 18). Based on this guaranty agreement, management therefore believes that available funds are
sufficient to finance cash flows for the twelve months subsequent to June 30, 2012 and the filing date
tough future anticipated cash outflows for investing activities will continue to depend on the availability
of financing and can be adjusted as necessary.

The Company possesses a concession for a piece of land (~84000 m2), i.e. a right to build a hotel and
apartments in the Papagayo Gulf Tourism Project, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, which was acquired for $7
million and recorded as land in property and equipment.
The concession is a right to use the property for a specific purpose over a term of 20 years, which term
thereafter can be renewed at no further cost, if the Company is up to date with its obligations as stipulated
by the Costa Rican government and if no significant change in government policies takes place. The
current concession expires in June 2022.
The construction in process amount that was spent as of June 30, 2012 is attributed primarily to
architectural and project work related to the hotel and apartments.

7. NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES
Loan agreement with Aires International Investments, Inc.
On July 27, 2011 the Company signed a loan agreement with Aires, a company owned by a board
member of SunVesta AG which has been amended and superseded by an amendment on May 11, 2012
respectively June 21, 2012 and which includes the following major conditions:
The lender grants Company a terminable, interest bearing and non-secured loan in the maximum amount
of CHF 12,000,000.
The conversion right granted in the original contract to convert the balance of the line of credit into 10%
ownership interest in Rich Land was cancelled.
Once the entire amount of CHF 10,000,000 has been drawn down, Aires has now the right to convert its
entire loan of CHF 10,000,000 into a 20% holding of the capital of the Company (instead of Rich Land).
In principle, the loan will become due on September 30, 2015 being the latest date in time when Aires can
exercise its conversion option.
CHF 10,000,000 of this line of credit is subordinated in favor of other creditors.
The interest rate is 7.25% and interest is due on September 30 of each year.
As the above mentioned conversion option is contingent upon payment of the entire amount of
CHF 10 million and this contingency was not resolved as of June 30, 2012, the loan was valued at fair
value, which equals face value.
The Company and Aires are currently negotiating a revised conversion option to replace the one stated
above. The major contemplated change is that Aires will convert its receivable into preferred shares of
shares of the Company with a fixed interest payment with the option to convert into shares of the
Companys common stock at a discount to market within a limited time frame. The parties are yet to
come to an agreement.
As of the date of the filing of this report the Company has borrowed CHF 16.24 million (approximately
$17.30 million) from the Aires line of credit.

7. NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES CONTINUED
Loan Dr. Max Rössler
During the three month period ended June 30, 2012, Dr. Max Rössler (board member of SunVesta
Holding AG) gave a short term loan of $1,736,320 that is repayable on December 17, 2012 or if the
Company does not comply with the contract within five working days. On this short term loan the
Company is not required to pay any interest and can repay the loan either in cash or with the delivery of
10,000 shares of Intershop Holding AG, a publicly traded company in Switzerland, regardless of actual
trading value on the date of delivery. The Company therefore might recognize a gain if the loan is repaid
in Intershop Holding AG shares and the trading price of the shares is less than the amount due. Based on
the trading price for Intershop Holding AG shares on June 30, 2012, the Company would have recognized
a gain, which is immaterial. The Company has not recorded such gain and the fair value of the loan
approximates the carrying value of the loan.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Receivables from related parties
All the shareholders listed under Note 6 have directly or indirectly - invested significant amounts of
money in the Company. As a result, some of them incurred short term cash needs, which the Company
satisfied by short term advances. Subsequent as of June 30, 2012, all material receivables from related
parties have been settled (refer to Note 18).

10. PENSION PLAN
The Company maintains a pension plan covering all employees in Switzerland; it is considered a defined
benefit plan and accounted 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 rateably 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 to accumulated other comprehensive income. 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 operations. 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.
Actuarial valuation
Net periodic pension cost has been included in the Companys results as follows:

contributions of $20,000 and $20,000, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plan.
During the three months period ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 the Company made cash
contributions of $10,000 and $10,000, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plan.

in a mix of Swiss and international bond and equity securities within the limits prescribed by the Swiss
Pension Law.
The expected future cash flows to be paid by the Company in respect of employer contributions to the
pension plan for the year ended December 31, 2012 are $20,000.
11. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE NEIGHBORING PIECE OF LAND
In 2010 SunVesta Holding AG concluded a sale and purchase agreement with a company called DIA S.A.
(DIA), being domiciled in San José, Costa Rica. The scope is the acquisition of a neighboring piece of
land with approximately 120,000 m2 having direct beach access through acquisition of 100% of the
shares of Altos del Risco S.A. shares of DIA. The total purchase consideration is $12.7 million. Upon
payment of the entire amount, ownership will be transferred to the Company. As at June 30, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, $5.9 million and $3.1 million has been paid, respectively. The sixth addendum dated
November 12, 2012, stipulates that:
$8.7 million has already been paid
$4.0 million has still to be paid
The current contractual situation does not call for any penalties in case of delays of payments.
The purchase of the neighboring piece of land was officially concluded in the 1st Quarter 2013.
12. FUTURE LEASE COMMITMENTS
Since January 1, 2010 the Company has sub-rental agreements for its Swiss offices with a related party
called Sportiva. The annual sub-rental expense is approximately $110,000. The sub-rental agreement is
concluded for an undetermined period of time, however, there is a verbal agreement to maintain the
agreement at least until December 31, 2013.
Subsequent to the period, on December 1, 2012 the Company entered into a new lease agreement for the
premises for its Swiss office with an unrelated entity. The annual rental expense amounts to
approximately $130,000 on a fixed term expiring on December 31, 2017.

13. TAX CONTINGENCIES
Based on failures to file certain tax return for the years ended 2008, 2009 and 2010 the Company was
advised on April 2, 2012 by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of aggregate penalties amounting to
$140,000. Despite of an ongoing appeal process the Company changed its assessment during the three
months period ended June 30, 2012 and determined that it is more likely than not that it will have to pay
the penalty. Therefore the Company recorded $140,000 within the actual quarter as a tax expense.
14. MANGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH MELIA HOTELS & RESORTS
In March 2011, the Company concluded an agreement with Sol Meliá, S.A (Sol Meliá) for the
management of the planned resort in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. This agreement includes a clause saying
that if SunVesta were not able to conclude the purchase of the property described in Note 11 by
November 30, 2011, then a penalty of $1 million would become due to Sol Meliá, S.A. Therefore the
Company recorded a liability in the full amount as of December 31, 2011, with the corresponding expense
recorded in general and administrative expense in the year ended December 31, 2011.
On March 3, 2012, the deadline to pay the penalty of $1 million was extended by Sol Meliá, S.A. to June
30, 2012. On June 30, 2012, neither the whole penalty nor a part of the penalty have been paid. Therefore,
the the deadline to pay the penalty of $1 million was extended on June 30, 2012, up to August 31, 2012.
Regarding current situation subsequent to June 30, 2012 refer to Note 18.
15. INTENTION TO PURCHASE TWO ADDITIONAL CONCESSION PROPERTIES AT POLO
PAPAGAYO, GUANACASTE
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 a price of $22,895,806, whereof fifty percent is to be paid in cash and the other fifty percent in
ten percent equity of La Punta (the concession properties in Polo Papagayo) and five percent in equity of
Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas (the hotel currently under construction), both located in
Costa Rica. The payment schedule is as follows:
$0.5 million is required as a cash payment by May 16, 2012
$5.0 million is required as a cash payment by August 31, 2012
$5.698 million is required as a cash payment by January 31, 2013
Equity is required to be transferred upon final payment

million with no equity payment. The terms and conditions of the cash payment are yet to be defined.
Furthermore, all payments by the Company to date and in the future are refundable.
Subsequent to signing the agreements, the Company paid down-payments on the purchase of the
properties of approximately $1,400,000 ($1,170,000 was paid as of June 30, 2012).
16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received
for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for
the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This guidance also specifies a
fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable
inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs
(lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with this guidance, fair
value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Quoted prices 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
all
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, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value, and we classify such measurements
within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, we make 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 a counterparty or us) will not be fulfilled. For

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT - CONTINUED
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), our fair value calculations have
been adjusted accordingly.
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, there are no financial assets or liabilities
measured on a recurring basis at fair value.
In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as
discussed above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our
financial instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents carrying amount approximated fair value.
Short term investments carrying amount approximated fair value.
Receivables from related parties (current) carrying amount approximated fair value due to the short
term nature of the receivables.
Receivables related parties (non current) The fair values of the receivables due from related parties (non
current) is classified as level 3 fair values. The fair values of the notes were determined by discounting
cash flow projections discounted at the respective interest rates for similar transactions of 3.00%. Hence,
the carrying value approximate fair value.
Accounts Payable carrying amount approximated fair value.
EUR-bond 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 8.25% for EUR bonds, which represents the current market rate based on the creditworhiness of
the Company. Hence, the carrying values approximate fair value.
CHF-bond 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 creditworhiness of
the Company. Hence, the carrying values approximate fair value.

17. RESTATEMENT
During the three month period ended September 30, 2011 the Company reversed a previous interest
of $217,750 due to the fact that the Company initially intended to pay interest expense starting from
the EUR bond offering date (Dec 1, 2010) as opposed to the bond issuance dates. However, during
the three month period ended September 30, 2011, the Companys board of directors changed its
policy and reversed the interest accrued for the period from the bond offering date to the respective
bond issuance dates. The Company decided to record this change in policy retrospectively as an error
since there was no contractual obligation to pay interest from the bond issuance date.
Management has concluded that the impact of the error is not material to the previously filed
quarterly reports for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and therefore has not filed any
amendments to this quarter. The table below summarizes the impact of the restatement, which has
been reflected in this quarterly report.

Discussion and Analysis
Business Overview
We are in the process of developing high-end luxury hotels and resorts in emerging tourist destinations.
We are initially concentrating on offering luxury hotel products located in attractive, top-class coastal
vacation destinations in countries such as Costa Rica, Vietnam, and Turkey that are fast emerging as
popular tourist destinations. Country specific conditions are taken into account when properties are
considered for development. General considerations as to where to develop properties include the stability
of local political conditions, geologically useful cultivability, and the types of destinations that attract a
five-star clientele. Each potential investment is first compared against a validation checklist and then, if
warranted, subjected to a substantial due diligence process. Since location is the key to the success of any
tourist based luxury real estate project, each development will be carefully considered during the
eligibility process.
Initial Development
Our initial real estate development, to be constructed on 20.5 hectares of prime land located in
Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, is the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas, a five star

Additional Concession Properties
On April 20, 2012, SunVesta AG entered into an agreement with Meridian IBG to purchase two
additional concession properties. The additional concession properties have a total surface of
approximately 230,000 square metres purchased for a total of $22,895,806, on terms whereby fifty
percent was to be paid in cash and the other fifty percent with the transfer of a ten percent equity interest
in La Punta (the concession properties in Polo Papagayo on which the project will be located) and a five
percent equity interest in Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas. The payment schedule was as
follows:
$0.5 million is required as a cash payment by May 16, 2012
$5.0 million is required as a cash payment by August 31, 2012
$5.698 million is required as a cash payment by January 31, 2013
Equity is required to be transferred upon final payment
Subsequent to the period of this report, on November 13, 2012, the purchase agreement for additional
concession properties in Polo Papagayo was amended to decrease the total cash purchase price to $17.2
million and to delete the equity component for both La Punta and the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort &
Luxury Villas. New terms and conditions for the payment of the new purchase price are yet to be defined.
SunVesta AG has paid down-payments on the purchase of the additional concession properties of
$1,170,000 as of June 30, 2012 and approximately $1,400,000 as of the date of this report.
Hotel and Entertainment Complex (Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A)
Subsequent to the period of this report, during the third quarter 2012, the Company entered into an
agreement to purchase a hotel and entertainment complex in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. The entire purchase
amount of $26 million for the assets has no firm financing commitment. Additionally, approximately an
additional $18 million for renovations would need to be invested in the hotel and entertainment complex.
The Company is in negotiations with various parties to finalize a financing package for this project and is
confident that it will be able to procure such financing. Nonwithstanding all other factors, the Company
may terminate this agreement, within a due dilligence period, if it is not satisfied with the property after
an examination of the assets. The agreement includes a non-refundable deposit of $250,000.
Finance
The anticipated completion of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas in November of 2014
will require a total investment of approximately $180 million of which approximately $19 million has
been expended as of June 30, 2012. We expect to realize a minimum of $20 million in new funding over
the next twelve months to progress the development and an additional $141,000,000 in funding by the
time the development is completed. New funding over the next twelve months is expected to be raised
from debt financing through bonds, a fixed line of credit and, as necessary, the guaranty agreement in
place as described in the going concern paragraph.
SunVesta AG, our wholly owned subsidiary, is in the process of issuing fixed-income Euro denominated
bonds up to an aggregate amount of 25,000,000 and fixed income CHF denominated bonds up to an
aggregate amount of CHF 15,000,000 to fund the initial development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay
Resort & Luxury Villas project.
30
The Euro bonds are unsecured, have a three year term, bear interest at 8.25% per annum payable each
November 30 over the term due November 30, 2013. SunVesta AG raised $9,598,537 in the twelve
months ended December 31, 2011 and $840,803 in the six months ended June 30, 2012, for a total of
approximately $12,360,000 as of the filing date of this report, in connection with the Euro bond offering.
The CHF bonds are unsecured, have a three year term, bear interest at 7.25% per annum payable each
August 31 over the term due August 31, 2015. SunVesta AG raised $3,818,898 in the twelve months
ended December 31, 2011 and $2,285,593 in the six months ended June 30, 2012, for a total of
approximately $5,900,000 as of the filing date of this report in connection with the CHF bond offering.
SunVesta AG entered into a line of credit agreement with Aires International Investment, Inc. (Aires)
on July 27, 2011 allowing it to borrow up to CHF 6,000,000 by February 29, 2012. The line of credit
bears interest at 7.25% and was secured by 10% of the stock of Rich Land. Interest payments are due
September 30 of each year with the line of credit maturing on September 30, 2015. Prior to maturity, if
the maximum credit limit was borrowed, Aires had the option to convert the balance of the line of credit
into a 10% ownership interest in Rich Land.
On May 11, 2012, the parties to the Aires line of credit agreement executed an addendum to the existing
line of credit agreement that includes the following clauses:
The line of credit amount was increased by CHF 4,000,000 to a total amount of CHF 10,000,000. The
additional CHF 4,000,000 to be paid in installments through the end of July 2012.
Should the entire amount of CHF 10,000,000 be drawn down, Aires will have the right to convert the
entire line of credit of CHF 10,000,000 into a 20% holding of the capital of the Company.
The conversion right granted in the original contract to convert the balance of the line of credit into a 10%
ownership interest in Rich Land was cancelled.
The entire amount of CHF 10,000,000 is subordinated in favor of other creditors.
On June 21, 2012, pursuant to a letter agreement, Aires agreed to increase the line of credit by CHF
2,000,000 to a total amount of CHF 12,000,000.
SunVesta AG and Aires are currently in the process of negotiating a revised conversion option to replace
the existing option to convert CHF 10,000,000 into a 20% holding in the capital of the Company. The
major contemplated change is that Aires will convert its receivable at the time of conversion into 20% of
the preferred shares of the Company, at a price and with preferential rights yet to be determined. The
parties are yet to reach an agreement.
As of December 31, 2011 SunVesta AG had borrowed CHF 3,000,000 ($3,195,000) from the Aires line
of credit, and as of June 30, 2012 SunVesta AG had borrowed CHF 7,350,000 ($7,694,700) for a total of
approximately CHF 16.24 million ($17,300,000) as of the filing date of this report.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2012, Dr. Max Rössler (board member of SunVesta AG)
gave a short term loan non-interest bearing loan of $1,736,320 that is repayable on December 17, 2012
either in cash or with the delivery of 10,000 shares of Intershop Holding AG, a publicly traded company
in Switzerland, regardless of actual trading value on the date of delivery.
The Company expects that the remaining amounts required to complete the Paradisus Papagayo Bay
Resort & Luxury Villas will be secured in the form of a construction loan, equity placements and, as
necessary, the guaranty agreement.
31
Timeline
Our expected timeline for developing the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas is as follows:
Complete revisions of architectural plans which will incorporate Meliá requirements in the 1st
quarter of 2013;
Receive traditional construction loan in the 2nd quarter of 2013;
Receive final building permits in 2nd quarter of 2013;
Begin construction in the 2nd quarter of 2013; and
Complete construction work in the 4th quarter of 2014.
Results of Operations
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, our operations were focused on (i) funding the terms of an
agreement with DIA S.A. to purchase an additional 12 hectares contiguous with our existing property that
will provide the project with direct private beach access; (ii) deliberations with local authorities to obtain
building permits for the development of the property; (iii) discussions with prospective project
development partners; (iv) pursuing additional debt or equity financing arrangements including a bond
offering through SunVesta Holding AG in Europe, increasing a line of credit with Aires and entering into
a related party loan; and (v) entering into an agreement with Meridian IBG to purchase two additional
concession properties in the vicinity of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas under
development.
The Company has been funded since inception from debt or equity placements and by shareholders or
partners in the form of loans. All of the capital raised to date has been allocated to the development of the
Costa Rican property including the purchase of the land and general and administrative costs.
Comprehensive Losses
For the period from the date of inception of development stage on January 1, 2005, until June 30, 2012,
the Company had incurred comprehensive losses of $25,649,052.
Comprehensive losses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased to $983,022 as compared to
$2,159,061 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in comprehensive losses over the
comparative periods can be attributed to the gain on foreign currency translation of $1,218,211 as
compared to a gain of $312,274, which gain is due to volatility between Swiss Francs and US Dollars, the
related foreign currency translation difference on intercompany loans that is classified as a permanent
investment and the translation of the financial condition and results of operations of our foreign
subsidiaries. Other contributing factors to the decrease in comprehensive losses over the comparative
three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively, included decreases in general
and administrative expenses to $1,483,795 from $1,923,282, of which significant components were a
decrease in finders fees of approximately $410,000, associated with the management agreement with Sol
Meliá, and other expenses which decreased approximately $30,000, in addition to the decrease in sales
and marketing expenses to zero from $111,470, a gain of $37,615 on currency exchange differences from
a loss of $265,071, and the realization of interest income of $4,030, offset by an increase in interest
expenses to $349,758 from $50,940, due to bond and credit line debt obligations, the increase in
amortization of debt issuance costs and commissions to $268,747 from $120,572, due to amounts
associated with the bond issuances, other expenses of $441 from zero and an increase in income taxes of
$140,136 due to potential penalties for the late filing of tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service.
32
Comprehensive losses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased to $3,120,322 from $2,719,763
for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in comprehensive losses over the comparative six
month periods can be primarily attributed to the increase in interest expense to $630,753 from $84,566,
due to bond and credit line debt obligations. Other contributing factors to the increase in comprehensive
losses over the comparative six month periods ending June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively,
include increases in general and administrative expenses to $2,455,423 from $2,361,300, of which
significant components were an increase in investor relations expenses incurred in connection with the
bond offerings of approximately $161,000, other expenses which increased approximately $162,000,
offset by a decrease in finders fees of approximately $230,000, associated with the management
agreement with Sol Meliá, in addition to increases in the amortization of debt issuance costs and
commissions to $498,035 from $120,572, due to amounts associated with the bond issuances and an
increase in income taxes of $140,136 due to potential penalties for the late filing of tax returns with the
Internal Revenue Service , offset by decreases in sales and marketing expenses to zero from $117,454,
interest income of $7,089, a gain of $167,887 on currency exchange differences from a loss of $265,071,
other income of $13,612 and foreign currency translation which increased to $415,436 from $299,200,
which gain is due to volatility between Swiss Francs and US Dollars, the related foreign currency
translation difference on intercompany loans that is classified as a permanent investment and the
translation of the financial condition and results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries.
We did not generate revenue during this period and we expect to continue to incur losses through the year
ended December 31, 2012.
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 January 1, 2005
to June 30, 2012, in connection with the purchase of land that includes a hotel concession in Costa Rica
and expects to incur future cash outflows on capital expenditure as discussed in the "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" and the "Going Concern" paragraphs below.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has been in the development stage since inception and has experienced significant changes
in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders equity.
As of June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $6,106,622. We had current assets of $1,104,243
and total assets of $25,086,039. Our current assets consisted of $217,863 in cash, $37,454 in other assets
and $848,925 in receivables from related parties. Our total assets consisted of current assets and property
and equipment of $13,435,782, net debt issuance costs of $1,970,399, down payments for property and
equipment of $7,070,013, other assets of $238,410 and receivables from related parties of $1,267,193. We
had current liabilities of $7,210,865 and total liabilities of $31,508,930. Our current liabilities consisted of
$1,466,108 in accounts payable, $3,367,877 in accrued expenses, and $2,376,880 in notes payable to
related parties. Our total liabilities consisted of current liabilities and EUR bond debt of $10,439,340,
CHF bond debt of $6,104,491, note payable to related parties of $7,694,563 and pension liabilities of
$59,672. Total stockholders deficit in the Company was $6,422,892 at June 30, 2012.
33
For the period from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was
$15,222,623. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was
$2,253,232 as compared to $2,287,670 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net cash used in
operating activities in the current six month period ended June 30, 2012, can be attributed primarily to
general and administrative expenses, that include but are not limited to, personnel costs, accounting fees,
consulting expenses, finders fees and professional fees such as for auditing purposes and legal
consultation, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash used in operating
activities in the prior six month period ended June 30, 2012, can also be primarily attributed to general
and administrative expenses, offset by changes in net working capital.
We expect to use net cash in operating activities until such time as net losses transition to net income
which transition is not anticipated until we complete the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas
project.
For the period from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was
$22,877,128. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was
$7,556,673 as compared to $1,758,950 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net cash used in investing
activities in the current six month period can be attributed to receivables from related parties, the purchase
of property and equipment, down payments for property and other non-current assets, offset by the receipt
of short term investments. Net cash used in investing activities in the prior six month period ended June
30, 2011, can be attributed to receivables from related parties, the purchase of property and equipment,
down payments for property and other non-current assets.
We expect to use net cash in investing activities in future periods while we develop the Paradisus
Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas.
For the period January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was
$38,910,127. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was
$9,466,232 as compared to $4,230,901 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net cash provided by
financing activities in the current six month period ended June 30, 2012, can be attributed to notes
payable to related parties and proceeds from SunVesta AGs bond issuance, offset by the payment of debt
issuance costs. Net cash provided by financing activities in the prior six month period ended June 30,
2011, can be attributed to proceeds from SunVesta AGs bond issuance net of commissions and
realization of debt issuance costs, offset by repayment of notes payable to related parties and notes
payable.
We expect net cash provided by financing activities in future periods from SunVesta AGs bond offering,
the credit line with Aires, equity placements, related party loans and, as necessary the guaranty
agreement.
Management believes that our cash on hand in addition to, the line of credit, short term related party
loans and the guaranty agreement in place as described in the going concern paragraph below are
sufficient for us to conduct operations over the next twelve months. Current debt financing efforts consist
of bond offerings in progress, short term related party loans and a credit line commitment agreed with
Aires that permits us to draw capital as necessary to meet ongoing operational requirements. The
Company has, as of the date of this filing, realized $18,260,000 through its Euro and CHF bond offerings
and drawn down approximately $17,300,000 against the line of credit with Aires.
We have a line of credit in place with Aires against which SunVesta Holding AG has borrowed CHF
3,000,000 ($3,195,000) as of December 31, 2011, and CHF 7,300,000 ($7,694,563) as of June 30, 2012
and CHF 16,240,000 ($17,300,000) as of the filing date of this report. The amount borrowed to date is in
34
excess of that anticipated by the line of credit agreement and the Aires debt facility is exhausted as of the
filing date of this report. Otherwise, we had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of
June 30, 2012.
We have commitments to DIA, S.A (DIA) and other third parties as of June 30, 2012, in connection
with the purchase of property parcels made part of the development and certain commitments to the Costa
Rican government for water and development rights as well as certain commitments for the planning and
construction of the resort project. As of the date of this report our commitment to DIA has been met.
As of the date of this filing, the Company had the following cancellable commitments which are not
included in the required financing of $180 million to complete the Papagayo Gulf Tourism Project.
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 a price
of $17.2 million. The terms and conditions of the cash payment are yet to be defined. Furthermore, all
payments by the Company to date and in the future are refundable.
The Company entered into an agreement to purchase a hotel and entertainment complex in Atlanta,
Georgia (United States of America). The entire purchase amount of $26 million for the assets has no
firm financing commitment. Additionally, approximately an additional $18 million for renovations
would need to be invested in the hotel and entertainment complex. The Company is in negotiations
with various parties to finalize a financing package for this project and is confident that it will be able
to procure such financing. Notwithstanding all other factors, the Company may terminate this
agreement, within a due diligence period, if it is not satisfied with the property after an examination
of the assets. The agreement includes a non-refundable deposit of $250,000.
We maintain a defined benefit plan that covers all of our Swiss employees though we have no contractual
commitment with our sole officer and director.
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 as discussed above.
We have no current plans to make any changes in the number of our employees.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on debt or equity sales of our shares of common stock to fund our business
operations. Unfortunately, there is no assurance that we will be able to secure the financing requisite to
fund our business.
35
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2012, 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 $180 million.
The project is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2014. Until the completion of the project, the
following expenditures are estimated to be incurred:
$1,000
a. Gross project cost
195,000
b. Less: Proceeds from sale of villas
-24,000
c. Net project cost
171,000
d. Overhead expenses
21,000
e. Less: Recuperated in gross project cost
-12,000
f Total, excluding other potential projects
180,000
Sixty percent (60%) of net project cost is expected to be financed by traditional mortgage loans, for which
negotiations have been initiated. The remaining forty percent (40%) of net project cost, as well as non-
recuperated overhead expenses and the cost of prospective other projects are expected to be financed by
the primary promoters of the project, i.e.:
a.
Zypam Ltd.
b.
Mr. Hans Rigendinger
c.
Mr. Max Rössler
d.
Mr. Josef Mettler
Based on the guaranty agreement, management therefore believes that available funds are sufficient to
finance cash flows for the next twelve months though future anticipated cash outflows for investing
activities will continue to depend on the availability of financing and can be adjusted as necessary.
Subsequent to period end, certain principal shareholders of the Company or principal lenders to the
project entered into a guaranty agreement in favor of SunVesta Holding AG. The purpose of the
guarantee 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 projects ongoing capital requirements. The guaranty
agreement requires that within 30 days of receiving a demand notice, the guarantors are required to pay to
SunVesta AG that amount required for ongoing capital requirements, until such time as financing of the
project is secured. The guaranty may not be terminated until such time as SunVesta Holding AG has
secured financing for the completion of the project.

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
Companys management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
of the effectiveness of the Companys 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
Commissions 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 Companys management concluded that due to a lack of independent
oversight, failure to segregate duties, insufficient accounting resources and lack of US GAAP knowledge,
37
as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
were ineffective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be
disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms, and 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 period ended June 30, 2012, 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.
