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  Company’s  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,

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.

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-

240—Comprehensive  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   Company’s   consolidated   financial

statements.

In  December  2011,  the  FASB  released  ASU  201111,  Balance  Sheet  (Topic  210):  Disclosures  about

Offsetting  Assets  and  Liabilities.  ASU  201111  requires  companies  to  provide  new  disclosures  about

offsetting  and  related  arrangements  for  financial  instruments  and  derivatives.  The  provisions  of  ASU

201111 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and are required

to  be  applied  retrospectively.  When  adopted,  ASU  201111  is  not  expected  to  materially  impact  the

Company's consolidated financial statements.

In  December  2011,  the  FASB  released  ASU  201110,  Property,  Plant  and  Equipment  (Topic  360):

Derecognition  of  in  Substance  Real  Estate—a  Scope  Clarification  (a  consensus  of  the  FASB  Emerging

Issues  Task  Force).  ASU  201110  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  subsidiary’s

nonrecourse  debt,  the  reporting  entity should  apply the  guidance  for  Real  Estate  Sale  (Subtopic  36020).

The  provisions  of  ASU  201110  are  effective  for  public  companies  for  fiscal  years  and  interim  periods

within  those  years,  beginning on  or  after  June  15,  2012.  When  adopted,  ASU  201110  is  not  expected  to

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

$

171,000,000

Overhead expenses

$

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.

5.  CONSTRUCTION IN PROCESS

The  Company  possesses  a  concession  for  a  piece  of  land  (~84’000  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

Company’s  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.

10. PENSION PLAN CONTINUED

During  the  six  months   periods  ended  June   30,   2012  and  June  30,   2011   the   Company  made  cash

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.

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

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

Pension Law.

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

pension plan for the year ended December 31, 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

PAPAGAYO, GUANACASTE CONTINUED

If  the  Company elects  not  to  proceed  with the purchase,  the  purchaser is  in  default  and  will  lose its  funds

on deposit.

On  November  13,  2012  the  above  agreement  was  amended  to  decrease  the  total  purchase  price  to  $17.2

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  Company’s  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.

General

The  Company has  evaluated  subsequent  events  after  the  date  balance  sheet  date  through  the  issuance

of  the  financial  statements  for  appropriate  disclosure.  With  the  exception  of  what  is  stated  hereafter,

the  Company  is  not  aware  of  such  events,  which  would  require  adjustments  to  or  disclosure  in  the

consolidated financial statements.

Advisory Services Agreements

In  order  to  raise  the  necessary  funds  for  the  completion  of  the  project,  various  advisory  service

agreements  have  been concluded, both in Europe  as  well as Central  America.  In  addition,  a European

rating  agency  has  been  engaged  in  order  to  receive  a  rating.  While  the  basic  cost  for  the  advisory

services are not significant, the actual funding will be accompanied by costs (finders’ fees).

Guaranty Agreement

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 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  project’s 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  AG  has  secured  financing

for the completion of the project.

Hotel Project Atlanta

During   the   3rd   Quarter   2012   the   Company   entered   into   an   purchase   agreement   for   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  negotations  with  various  parties  to  finalize  a

financing package for this project and is confident that it will be able to procure such financing.

Nonwithstanding  of  all  other  factors  the  Company  may  terminate  this  agreement  within  a  due  dilligence

period, if it is not satisfied with the property after a examination of the assets.

The agreement includes a non-refundable deposit of $250,000.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other

parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,”

“plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future

performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-

31.

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

luxury hotel scheduled to open in November 2014 subject to requisite financing.

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 finder’s 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 finder’s 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, finder’s 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 AG’s 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 AG’s 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 AG’s 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 project’s 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.

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 the 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 that due to a lack of independent
