CORPORATE INFORMATION

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

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

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

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

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

Holding España SL (“España”), a Spanish company.

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

resorts  and  investments  in  the  hospitality  and  related  industry.  The  Company  has  one  major

project  in  Costa  Rica.  Planning  for  this  project  has  been  fully  completed,  all  consents  have

been  granted,  and  excavation  work  began  in  March  2013.  The  Company is  still  in  process  of

securing  financing  for  the  project  and  has  not  realized  revenue  to  date.  Since  the financing  of

the  project  is  not  complete,  the  Company’s  activities  are  subject  to  significant  risks  and

uncertainties.

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

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

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by

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

all   information   and   footnotes   required   by   generally   accepted   accounting   principles   and

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

December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements do

include  all  normal  recurring  adjustments  which  the  Company  believes  necessary  for  a  fair

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

of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2016.

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

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

10-K   for   the   year   ended   December   31,   2015,   filed   with   the   Securities   and   Exchange

Commission.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New accounting standard updates – not adopted yet

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

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

assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Leases will

be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense

recognition.  The  standard  requires  lessors  to  classify  leases  as  either  sales-type,  finance  or

operating.  A  sales-type lease occurs if the lessor transfers all  of the risks and rewards,  as well

as control  of the underlying asset,  to the lessee.  If risks and rewards are conveyed  without  the

transfer  of control,  the lease  is treated as a  financing lease.  If  the  lessor  does not  convey risks

and  rewards  or  control,  an  operating  lease  results.  The  standard  will  become  effective  for  the

Company   beginning   January 1,   2019.   The   Company   is   currently   assessing   the   impact

adoption   of   this   standard   will   have   on   its   consolidated   results   of   operations,   financial

condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

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

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

there  are  conditions  or  events,  considered  in  aggregate,  that  raise  substantial  doubt  about

entity’s  ability to  continue  as  a  going concern  within one  year  after  the  date  that  the  financial

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

available  to  be  issued  when  applicable).  The  amendments  to  (ASU)  2014-15  are  effective  for

the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods

thereafter.  Early  application  is  permitted.  The  Company  is  in  the  process  of  evaluating  the

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

New accounting standard updates - adopted

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

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

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

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

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

examples illustrating the  balance  sheet  presentation  of notes net  of  their  related  discounts  and

debt  issuance  costs.  Further,  the  amendments  require  the  amortization  of  debt  issuance  costs

to be reported as interest expense. Similarly, debt issuance costs and any discount or premium

is  considered  in  the  aggregate  when  determining  the  effective  interest  rate  on  the  debt.   The

amendments   are   effective   for   public   business   entities   for   fiscal   years   beginning   after

December  15,  2015,  and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years.  The  application  of  this

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

The  Company  had  unamortized  debt  issuance  costs  of  $2,916,207  and  $2,995,209  as  of

March    31,    2016    and    December    31,    2015    respectively.    The    Company    reclassified

amortizisation   of   debt   issuance   cost   and   commissions   in   the   amount   of   $349,159   and

$446,204 to interest expense for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

This ASU was applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

GOING CONCERN

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

area of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The project is expected to open in the fourth quarter  of 2018.

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

a.      Gross project cost

$

217,000,000

b.      Less: Proceeds from sale of villas

(25,000,000)

c.      Net project cost

192,000,000

d.      Overhead expenses

20,000,000

e.      Total, excluding other potential projects

$

212,000,000

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

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

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

financed  by the  main  shareholders  or  lenders  of  the  project,  i.e.  Zypam  Ltd.,  shareholder  and

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

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

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

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

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

project  entered  into  a  Guaranty  Agreement  in  favor  of  the  Company.  The  purpose  of  the

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

guarantors   to   creditors   to   the   extent   of   the   project’s   ongoing   capital   requirements.   On

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

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

The   Guaranty   Agreement   requires   that   within   30   days   of   receiving   a   demand   notice,

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

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

the twelve months subsequent to March 31, 2016 and the filing date, though future anticipated

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

4.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  available  to  the  Company  without  any  restriction  or  limitation

on  withdrawal  and/or  use  of  these  funds.  The  Company’s  cash  equivalents  are  placed  with

financial  institutions  that  maintain  high  credit  ratings.  The  carrying  amounts  of  these  assets

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

Environmental Agency – SETANA are related to the hotel project in Costa Rica and therefore

their  release  is  not  expected  before  finalization  of  the  corresponding  project.  Due  to  this  fact

these restricted cash positions have been classified as long term.

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

deposit  related  to  a  long  term  lease  contract  for  office  space.  Due  to  this  fact  this  restricted

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

government policies. The current concession initially expired in June 2022.

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

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

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

government policies. The current concession initially expired in November 2036.

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

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

concessions until 2052.

The  construction  in  process  through  December  31,  2015  and  March  31,  2016,  is  represented

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

work.

Deposit related to construction work

For  the  quarter  ended  March  31,  2016,  the  Company  made  deposits  with  several  contractors

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

groundwork  as  completed.  As  of  March  31,  2016  and  December  31,  2015,  the  Company  has

deposits of $642,397 and $798,874 respectively, which have not yet been set off.

Agreement to purchase neighboring pieces of land

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

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

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

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

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

Papagayo   Bay   Resort   &   Luxury   Villas   (currently   under   development).   Both   of   these

properties are located in Costa Rica. The payment schedule was as follows:

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

Equity is required to be transferred upon final payment

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

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

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

became  refundable.  During  the  second  quarter  of  2013,  the  Company  entered  into  a  new,

revised agreement  for  the  purchase of  two  additional  concession properties at  Polo  Papagayo,

Guanacaste.  The  original  contract  as  described  above  was  cancelled  and  replaced  by  a  new

contract, which included the following clauses:

-

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

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

-

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

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

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

concession properties.

-

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

hereinafter:

$8,130,184 in total to Original Seller

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

of  March  31,  2015,  of  which  $300,000  was  paid  in  refundable  payments  during  the  period

ended  December   31,   2015   as   part   of   the   new,   revised   agreement   noted  above   totaling

$16,100,000.  The  Company  is  in  discussions  with  the  Original  Seller  regarding  an  extension

of this agreement.

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

toward   the   purchase  price.   Should   the  Company  not   be  successful   in   obtaining  a   time

extension  for  the  payment  of  the  purchase  price  or  amendment  to  the  purchase  agreement,  it

will  have  to  write-off  $300,000  of  that  purchase  price  paid  in  2013  for  the  new,  revised

agreement  and  5%  of  additional  damages  on  the  additional  $1,000,000  paid  for  a  total  of

$50,000, which is not refundable as per contract terms.

The  original  $1,369,816  was  made  pursuant  to  a  previous  agreement  and  is  not  subject  to  the

5% liquidated damages clause.

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

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

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

300,000, which amount was paid on October 25, 2015.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

classified under the following hierarchy:

Level 1

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2

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

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

inputs or significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3

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

unobservable.

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

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

available,  the  Company  makes  use  of  observable  market  based  inputs  to  calculate  fair  value,

in  which  case the  measurements  are  classified  within Level  2.  If  quoted  or  observable  market

prices  are  not  available,  fair  value  is  based  upon  internally developed  models  that  use,  where

possible,  current  market-based  parameters  such  as  interest  rates,  yield  curves  and  currency

rates. These measurements are classified within Level 3.

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

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

though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

Fair  value  measurement  includes  the  consideration  of  nonperformance  risk.  Nonperformance

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

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

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

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

As  of  March  31,  2016  and  December  31,  2015,  respectively,  there  are  no  financial  assets  or

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

to the conversion feature.

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

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

fair value of our financial instruments:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT - Continued

Cash and cash equivalents – carrying amount approximated fair value.

Restricted cash – carrying amount approximated fair value.

Receivables  from  related  parties  (current)    carrying  amount  approximated  fair  value  due  to  the  short  term  nature

of the receivables.

Accounts Payable – carrying amount approximated fair value.

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

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

Notes receivable - carrying amount approximated fair value.

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

publically  traded  shares.  However,  the  Company  records  the  loan  at  nominal  value.  The  Company  does  not  have

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

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

of the notes payable.

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

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

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

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

carrying values approximate fair value.

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

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

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

carrying values approximate fair value.

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

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

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

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

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

fair  values  of  the  convertible  bonds  have  been  determined  by  discounting  cash  flow  projections  discounted  at  the

respective interest rates of 6.00% for convertible CHF bonds, which represents the current market rate based on the

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

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

level  3  in  the  fair  value  hierarchy.  The  fair  value  of  the  liability  is  determined  using  a  Black  Scholes  model  to

calculate  the  option  value  at  each  reporting  date  and  multiplied  by  the  number  of  potentially  convertible  shares.

Hence the carrying value of the obligation approximates the fair value.

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

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

and    were    extended   through    September    30,    2015    (i.e.    unpaid).   These   were    rolled

forward/exchanged  into  two  substantially  different  convertible  bonds  of  Sunvesta  Holding

AG. One is a $45,000,000 Convertible Bond and the other a $15,000,000 Convertible Bond as

is  discussed in tables above.  These  new Convertible  bonds  are  substantially different  than the

previous  CHF  bonds  that  matured  in  the  third  quarter  of  2015  and  this  is  subsequently

accounted  for  as  an  extinguishment.  The  Company  has  recorded  a  loss  on  extinguishment

equal   to   the   fair   value   of   the   conversion   feature.   Third   party   issuance   costs   totaling

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

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

feature was expensed in the period.

PENSION PLAN

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

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

Compensation  -  Retirement  Benefits.  This  model  allocates  pension  costs  over  the  service

period  of  employees  in  the  plan.  The  underlying  principle  is  that  employees  render  services

ratably over this period, and therefore, the income statement effects of pensions should follow

a  similar  pattern.  ASC  715  requires  recognition  of  the  funded  status,  or  difference  between

the  fair  value  of  plan  assets  and  the  projected  benefit  obligations  of  the  pension  plan  on  the

balance  sheet,  with  a  corresponding  adjustment  recorded  in  the  net  loss.  If  the  projected

benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets, then that difference or unfunded status

represents the pension liability.

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

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

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

the  discount  rate  and  the  long-term  rate  of  asset  return  (based  on  the  market-related  value  of

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

Actuarial valuation

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, 2016 are $17,919.

Stock Options – Mr. Hans Rigendinger

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

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

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

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

Installment A is contingent on obtaining a financing arrangement with a specific counterparty.

As  of  the  grant  date,  the  fair  value  was  $300,000.  As  of  July 4,  2013,  the  Company  assessed

that   this   financing   arrangement   with   the   specific   counterparty   will   not   be   completed.

Therefore,  the  Company assessed  the  probability of  completion  to  be  zero  and  recognized  no

expense.  On  July  4,  2013,  the  Company  authorized  a  revised  stock  option  agreement.  This

removed  the  requirement  for  financing  with  a  specific  counterparty  and  updated  for  any

counterparty.  As  of  date  of  the  revised  stock  option  agreement,  the  fair  value  was  $246,000.

Installment  A  was  modified  on  July  4,  2013,  since  the  initial  performance  condition  was

improbable  to  be  met.  Since  the  modification  changed  the  expectation  that  the  options  will

ultimately  vest  and  no  expense  had  been  recognized  for  the  original  award,  the  fair  value  of

the  modified  award  has  been  expensed  on  a  straight  line  basis  over  the  expected  vesting

period.

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

management responsibilities for Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas. As of grant

date,   the   fair   value   was   $340,000   and   the   Company   estimated   that   Meliá   assumes

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

probability that  this performance condition will  be met  at  100%,  but  the date the performance

condition  will  be  achieved was  postponed  to the  fourth  quarter  2015,  as the opening date  was

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

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

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

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

Stock Options Dr. Max Rӧssler

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

Directors,  10,000,000  stock  options  on  July  3,  2013.  Each  option  entitles  Dr.  Rӧssler  to  buy

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

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

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

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

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

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

value was $258,210 and the Company estimated that Meliá would assume responsibility as of

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

performance  condition  will  be  met  at  100%,  but  the  date  the  performance  condition  will  be

Stock Options – Mr. Josef Mettler

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

12,000,000 stock options on July 4, 2013. Each option entitles Mr. Mettler to buy one share at

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

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

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

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

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

(main  financing  arrangement  for  Paradisus  Papagayo  Bay  Resort  &  Luxury  Villas).  As  of

grant  date  the  fair  value  was  $200,000.  The  Company  has  expensed  the  total  fair  value  on  a

straight-line basis over the expected vesting period.

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

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

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

1, 2015. As of March 6, 2014 the Company still assesses the probability that this performance

condition  will  be  met  at  100%,  but  the  date  the  performance  condition  will  be  achieved  was

postponed  to  the  fourth  quarter  2015,  as  the  opening  date  was  postponed.  As  of  the  date  of

this   report,   the   estimated  opening  date   was   postponed   to   the   fourth   quarter   2018.   The

Company  still  assessed  the  probability  that  this  performance  condition  will  be  met  at  100%.

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

OPENING DATE “PARADISUS PAPAGAYO BAY RESORT & LUXURY VILLAS”

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

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

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

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

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

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

liquidated damages.

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

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

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

parties agree to extend such date.

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

with the following major conditions:

a.

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

b.

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

have agreed in writing an extension to such date, after September 15, 2018, the Company

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

c.

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

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

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

compensate Meliá.

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

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

million  was  charged  against  general  and  administrative  expenses.  In  light  of  the  signed

seventh addendum, this accrual will be reversed in the second quarter of 2016.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect

Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in

conjunction with our financial statements and notes hereto included in this report. All information

presented herein is based on our three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. Our

fiscal year end is December 31.

Discussion and Analysis

Business Overview

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

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

destinations in countries that are fast emerging as popular tourist destinations. Each prospective

development takes into consideration country specific conditions and general considerations that

include the stability of local political conditions, geologically useful cultivability, and the types of

destinations that attract a five-star clientele. Once identified as eligible, prospective developments are

compared against a validation checklist and then, if warranted, subjected to a substantial due diligence

process. Since location is the key to the success of any tourist based luxury real estate project, each

development will be carefully considered during the eligibility process.

Initial Development

Our initial real estate development on 20.5 hectares of prime land located in Guanacaste Province,

Management

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

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

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

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

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

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

TPA and interior designers are led by Laboratiro Quattro.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and the Dominican Republic.

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

now anticipated for the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company reached an an agreement dated April 28,

2016, to further amend the management agreement with Meliá dated March 8, 2011. The amended

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

November 15, 2018, and if an extension date is not agreed, then Meliá could terminate the

management agreement and cause the Company to pay a penalty of $5 million. As the seventh

addendum was not in place at March 31, 2016, the provisions of the sixth addendum had to be taken

into consideration. Consequently, an accrual in the amount of $5 million was charged against

operating expenses. In light of the seventh addendum to the management agreement, this accrual will

be reversed in the second quarter of 2016.

Additional Concession Properties

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

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

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

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

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

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

31, 2016, and is in discussions with Meridian regarding an amendment to the agreement. Should the

Company not be successful in obtaining an amendment to the agreement, it would have to write-off

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

Swiss Hospitality Project

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

the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland with an urelated third party. The properties optioned comprise

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

on October 25, 2015.

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

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

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

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

received on June 1, 2016.

39



Finance

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

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

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

31, 2016. We expect to realize a minimum of $140 million in new funding over the next twelve

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

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

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

Results of Operations

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, our operations were focused on (i) completing

earth work excavations on the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas property; (ii)

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

financing to fund the construction of the project.

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

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

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

and startup costs that will offset future operating profits.

Capital Expenditures

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

March 31, 2016, in connection with the purchase of land concessions in Costa Rica, as well as the

planning and construction of the project and expects to incur future cash outflows on capital

expenditure as discussed in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and the "Going Concern"

paragraphs below.

stockholders’ equity.

(50,663,226)     (41,264,988)

The Company’s negative net working capital of $31,094,103 is of concern; however, based on the

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

problems.

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $928,807,

as compared to $2,469,730 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The Company expects

to continue to use net cash flow in operating activities until we complete the Paradisus Papagayo Bay

Resort & Luxury Villas project, which completion is projected for the fourth quarter of 2018.

43



Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $1,887,727 as

compared to $862,623 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. Net cash used in investing

activities in the current three-month period is comprised of the purchase of property and equipment,

and deposits related to construction, offset by receivables from related parties and restricted cash. Net

cash used in investing activities in the prior comparable three-month period was comprised of the

purchase of property and equipment, downpayments for property and equipment offset by receivables

from related parties, deposits related to construction and restricted cash. We expect negative net cash

flow in investing activities to continue while in the process of developing the Paradisus Papagayo Bay

Resort & Luxury Villas.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, was

$2,905,132 as compared to $3,425,275  for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. Net cash

provided by financing activities in the current three-month period is comprised of proceeds from notes

payable to related parties, and proceeds from bond issuances net of commissions, offset by a decrease

in bank liabilities, the payment of debt issuance costs, and changes in other debt. Net cash provided

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

notes payable related parties, and proceeds from bond issuances net of commissions, offset by the

decrease in bank liabilities, the payment of debt issuance costs, and changes in other debt. We expect

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

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

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

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

operations over the next twelve months.

We had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of March 31, 2016.

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

of March 31, 2016, in connection with the development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort &

Luxury Villas, which commitments are included in the required estimated net financing of $192

million (excluding overhead expenses) to complete the project. Most material commitments are not

contractually agreed as of the end of the period. We have cancellable commitments to Meridian that

are not included in the required financing for the development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort

& Luxury Villas of approximately $15,000,000 as of March 31, 2016, for the purchase of two

additional concession properties in Polo Papagayo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

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

agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer as of March 31, 2016.

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

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

We have no current plans to make any changes in the number of our employees as of March 31, 2016.

Future Financings

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

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

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

incorporating Stifel Ncolaus Europe Ltd, to enlarge the territories in which the offering could be

effectively presented to include North America.In June 2016, the respective parties agreed to

terminate the cooperation, which did not provide the anticipated results. A formal termination letter is

presently being preparded.

44



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

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

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

bond offering of not less than $100 million. The SPVwill therefore be the issuer, however, the

responsibility to place the bonds remains with the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2016, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are

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

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

resources that are material to stockholders.

Going Concern

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

Costa Rica. The total net investment is estimated to be approximately $212 million.

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

following expenditures are estimated to be incurred:

a.     Gross project cost

$

217,000,000

b.    Less: Proceeds from sale of villas

(25,000,000)

c.     Net project cost

192,000,000

d.    Overhead expenses

20,000,000

e.     Total, excluding other potential projects

$

212,000,000

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

shareholder, Director and Chief Executive Officer.

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

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

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

creditors to the extent of the project’s ongoing capital requirements.

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

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

agreement requires that within 30 days of receiving a demand notice, the requested funds are made

available by the guarantors to the Company.

Based on this Guaranty Agreement, management believes that available funds are sufficient to finance

cash flows for the twelve months subsequent to March 31, 2016, and the filing date, though future

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

financing.
