NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2018

1. Corporate Information

On August 27, 2007, SunVesta Inc. (“Company”) acquired SunVesta Holding AG (“SunVesta AG”). SunVesta AG has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: SunVesta Projects and Management AG, a Swiss company; SunVesta Costa Rica SA, a Costa Rican company and SunVesta Holding España SL, a Spanish company.

The Company is focused on the development of a holiday resort in Costa Rica. Planning for this project has been fully completed, all but one of the required consents have been granted, and excavation work is near completion. The Company is in the 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”).

2. Significant Accounting Policies

New accounting standards – not adopted

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 June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, requiring certain changes to the recognition and measurement as well as disclosure of incurred and expected credit losses. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

New accounting standards – not adopted

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2017-11, requiring certain changes to the presentation and disclosures of changes to liability or equity classification of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. 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.

New accounting standard updates - adopted

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-15, requiring that cash payments for debt prepayment or other debt extinguishment costs, including third-party costs, premiums paid, and other fees paid to lenders that are directly related to the debt prepayment or extinguishment, be classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company considers that ASU 2017-07 has had no material impact on the financial statements.

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-18, requiring that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of- period total cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Consequently, transfers between cash and restricted cash is not presented as a separate line item in the operating, investing or financing sections of the cash flow statement. The amendments were effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company considers that ASU 2016-18 has had only a limited impact on the presentation of the statement of cash flows.

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2017-07, requiring certain changes to the presentation of the expenses related to postretirement benefits accounted for under Topic 715. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company considers that ASU 2017-07 has had no material impact on the financial statements.

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2017-09, requiring certain changes to the presentation and disclosures of changes to share-based payment awards under Topic 718. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company considers that ASU 2017-09 has had no material impact on the financial statements.

3. GOING CONCERN

The Company is in the process of developing a hotel project in the Papagayo Gulf Tourism Project area of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The project is expected to open mid-2020. Until the completion of the project, the following expenditures are estimated to be incurred:

a.	Gross project cost	$	240,000,000
b.	Less: Proceeds from sale of villas		(25,000,000	)
c.	Net project cost		215,000,000
d.	Overhead expenses		20,000,000
e.	Total, excluding other potential projects	$	235,000,000

Sixty to seventy percent of the net project cost is intended to be financed through the issuance of secured debt facilities, for which negotiations are in progress. The remaining thirty to forty percent of the net project cost, as well as non-recuperated overhead expenses are intended to be financed by the main shareholders or lenders of the project, i.e Hans Rigendinger, shareholder, Company Director and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Max Rӧssler, controlling shareholder of Aires International Investment Inc. and Global Care AG, as well as a Company Director.

On July 16, 2012, certain principal shareholders of the Company or principal lenders to the project entered into a Guaranty Agreement in favor of the Company. The purpose of the guaranty is to ensure that until such time as financing is secured for the entire project that each will act as guarantors to creditors of SunVesta Holding AG.

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, 2018, and the filing date, though future anticipated cash outflows for investing activities are dependent on the availability of financing.

On September 22, 2015, the signatories to the guaranty formally agreed to maintain the guaranty, as necessary, until December 31, 2018.

On October 28, 2016, Hans Rigendinger and Dr. Max Rössler formally agreed to maintain the guaranty, as necessary, until completion of the construction of Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas, after which date the guaranty will expire.

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 approximate their fair value.

5. RESTRICTED CASH

As of March 31, 2018, the Company has the following restricted cash positions:

	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
	$		$
Credit Suisse in favor of BVK pension fund		133,910		130,814
Banco Lafise in favor of the Costa Rican Tourism Board		933,350		933,350
Banco Lafise in favor Costa Rican Environmental Agency – SETANA		605,753		605,753
Gross		1,673,013		1,669,917

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.

The restricted cash position in favor of BVK pension fund is a rental deposit related to a long term lease contract for office space (the contract ends as of December 31, 2018, but will most likely be prolonged). Due to this fact this restricted cash position is classified as long term.

Property and equipment is comprised primarily of land in Costa Rica and capitalized project costs incurred as of period end in connection with the Papagayo Gulf Tourism project. The land amounts to $19.7 million comprised of $7 million related to the concession formerly held by Rich Land (~84,000 m2) and $12.7 million formerly held by AdR (~120,000 m2).

The $7 million concession is a right to use the property for a specific period of time of initially 20 years from the date of grant, which thereafter can be renewed at no further cost, if the landholder is up to date with its obligations and if there is no significant change in government policies. The current concession was initially set to expire in June 2022.

The $12.7 million concession is also a right to use the property for a specific period of time of initially 30 years from the date of grant, which thereafter can be renewed at no further cost, if the landholder is up to date with its obligations and if there is no significant change in government policies. The current concession was initially set to expire in November 2036.

On July 14, 2015, the Consejo del Polo de DesarrolloTuristico Papagayo at ICT (Council of Papagayo Tourism Development Project), unanimously approved the extension of both concessions until 2052.

The construction in process through March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, is represented primarily by architectural work related to the Papagayo Gulf Tourism project as well as excavation and infrastructure work.

Deposit related to construction work

The Company placed deposits with contractors for excavation and infrastructure work to be offset against invoices as work is completed. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has deposits of $664,391 and $851,665 respectively, which have not yet been set off.

7. 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT – CONTINUED

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:

—	Cash and cash equivalents – carrying amount approximated fair value.
—	Restricted cash – carrying amount approximated fair value.
—	Accounts payable – carrying amount approximated fair value.
—	Notes receivable - carrying amount approximated 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 6.5% respectively for CHF bonds, which represented the current market rate based on the creditworthiness of the Company at issuance. Hence, the carrying values approximate fair value.

10. 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

Net periodic pension cost has been included in the Company’s results as follows:

	Three months ended March 31, 2018			Three months ended March 31, 2017
Pension expense		$			$
Current service cost		14,685			14,055
Net actuarial (gain) loss recognized		—			—

Employee contributions		(5,245	)		(5,020	)
Net periodic pension cost		8,392			8,182

During the three month, periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, the Company made cash contributions of $5,245 and $27,494, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plan.

All of the assets are held under a collective contract by the plan’s re-insurance company and are invested in a mix of Swiss and international fixed-income and equity securities within the limits set out by the Swiss pension law.

The remaining expected future cash flows to be paid by the Company in respect to employer contributions to the pension plan for the year ended December 31, 2018, are $15,735.

11. STOCK COMPENSATION

The Company has included share based compensation under the SunVesta Inc. Stock Option Plan 2013 (“Plan”) as part of the total remuneration in certain employment and Board of Director’s contracts. The Company is authorized to grant up to 50,000,000 stock options under the Plan to acquire shares of its common stock.

The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging its employees to remain associated with the Company and to assist it in building value. Such share based remuneration includes either shares or options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For all employees, fair value is estimated at the grant date. Compensation costs for unvested shares are expensed over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis.

Share Grants – Mr. Hans Rigendinger

On January 1, 2013, the Company granted 3,500,000 common shares to Hans Rigendinger, valued at $0.08 an amount equal to the share price and fair value of the shares on the grant date in connection with his employment agreement with the Company. His employment agreement obligates the Company to issue 2,500,000 common shares as a retention award on each anniversary of the employment agreement. The employment agreement had an initial term of three years with the option to extend for an additional two years. Mr Rigendinger’s employment agreement was renewed for additional two years on January 1, 2016. Therefore, the Company may issue up to 16,000,000 common shares, of which all have been earned as of December 31, 2017. As of the date of this report, an extension of Mr. Rigendinger’s agreement is being negotiated. The specific terms have not yet been agreed upon.

Share Grants – Mr. José María Figueres

On March 10, 2014, the Company granted 500,000 common shares to José María Figueres, valued at $0.10, an amount equal to the share price and therefore the fair value on grant date, in connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors. His appointment obligates the Company to issue 200,000 common shares for each fully completed year of service. José Maria Figueres resigned his position on the Company’s Board of Directors on January 10, 2018. Therefore, no more shares will be issued to José María Figueres in 2018.

Share Grants –Howard Glicken

On March 10, 2014, the Company granted 500,000 common shares to Howard Glicken, valued at $0.10, an amount equal to the share price and therefore the fair value on grant date, in connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors. His appointment obligates the Company to issue 200,000 common shares for each fully completed year of service. Howard Glicken resigned his position on the Company’s Board of Directors on December 22, 2017. Therefore, no more shares will be issued to Howard Glicken in 2018.

Share Grants – Third party

On November 1, 2016, the Company committed 10,000,000 common shares to a non-related individual, valued at a total of $240,947 (CHF 240,000) the fair value on grant date, in connection with his consulting services for the Company. His appointment obligated the Company to issue 1,666,667 common shares for each fully completed month of service. From November 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017, the individual earned a total of 10,000,000 shares, creating an expense for the Company in the amount of $240,947. In the second quarter of 2017, it was agreed with the third party to replace the shares committed with cash compensation of $240,947 (CHF 240,000).

Stock Options – Dr. Hans Rigendinger

The Company granted 10,000,000 stock options to Dr. Hans Rigendinger on January 1, 2013, in connection with his employment contract. Each option entitles Dr. Rigendinger to buy one Company share at an exercise price of $0.05. These options vest in two identical installments (Installment A and Installment B) of 5,000,000.

Installment A vesting was contingent on realizing 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 would 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 that removed the requirement for financing with a specific counterparty and updated for any counterparty. As of the date of the revised stock option agreement, the fair value was $246,000. Since the modification changed the expectation that the options would 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 recalculated expected remaining vesting period.

Stock Options – Dr. Hans Rigendinger - continued

Installment B vesting is contingent on Meliá Hotels International (“Melía”) assuming management responsibilities for the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas. As of the grant date, the fair value was $340,000 and the Company estimated that Meliá would assume responsibility as of July 1, 2015. As of the date of this report, the estimated opening date has been postponed to mid-2020, being the required date of the performance condition. The Company has assessed the probability that this performance condition will be met at 100%. Hence, the remaining fair value of the award has been expensed on a straight-line basis over the recalculated expected remaining vesting period. The assumption on the probability to meet the performance condition is currently under review due to the ongoing negotiations with Melía (please refer to Note 14). If the assumption on the probability to meet the performance condition would be lowered, expenses recognized in the past would be reversed which would reduce the net loss.

Stock Options – Dr. Max Rӧssler

The Company granted 10,000,000 stock options to Dr. Max Rӧssler on July 3, 2013, in connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors. Each option entitles Dr. Rӧssler to buy one Company share at an exercise price of $0.05. These options vest in two identical installments (Installment A and Installment B) of 5,000,000 options.

Installment A vesting is contingent on realizing a financing arrangement to complete the development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas. As of the grant date, the fair value was $249,835. The Company has expensed the total fair value of the award on a straight-line basis over the expected vesting period.

Installment B vesting is contingent on Meliá assuming management responsibilities for the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas. As of the grant date the fair value was $258,210 and the Company estimated that Meliá would assume responsibility as of July 1, 2015. As of the date of this report, the estimated opening date has been postponed to mid-2020, being the required date of the performance condition. The Company has assessed the probability that this performance condition will be met at 100%. Hence, the remaining fair value of the award has been expensed on a straight-line basis over the recalculated expected remaining vesting period. The assumption on the probability to meet the performance condition is currently under review due to the ongoing negotiations with Melía (please refer to Note 14). If the assumption on the probability to meet the performance condition would be lowered, expenses recognized in the past would be reversed which would reduce the net loss.

Under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company is required to measure and recognize compensation expense related to any outstanding and unvested stock options previously granted, and thereafter recognize, in its consolidated financial statements, compensation expense related to any new stock options granted after implementation using a calculated fair value based option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of all of its stock options and its assumptions are based on historical and available market information. No stock options were granted for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

Dividend yield	n.a	n.a
Risk-free interest rate used (average)	n.a	n.a
Expected market price volatility	n.a	n.a
Average expected life of stock options	n.a	n.a

The computation of the expected volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes calculation for new grants is based on historical volatilities of a peer group of similar companies in the same industry. The expected life assumptions are based on underlying contracts.

14. OPENING DATE “Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas”

Dated April 27, 2016, the Company amended its agreement with Meliá (“Seventh addendum to the management agreement of March 8, 2011”) to postpone the opening date as follows:

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

Should the completion not occur by November 15, 2018, Meliá will be entitled to terminate the agreement and $5,000,000 in liquidated damages unless the parties agree in writing to extend the completion date.

Since the Company expects the opening of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas by mid-2020, and another addendum has not yet been secured, it has recognized a provision for liquidated damages of $5,120,000 as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

15. 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.

Earnings per share	Three-month period ended March 31, 2018		Three-month period ended March 31, 2017
Company posted		Net loss		Net loss
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		107,241,603		108,234,104
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents		None		None
Dilutive weighted average shares outstanding		107,241,603		108,234,104

A total of 2,500,000 common shares have vested, that had not been issued, as of the balance sheet date are included in the basic weighted average of shares outstanding.

The following table shows the number of stock equivalents of the Company that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the respective period because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Earnings per share	Three-month period ended March 31, 2018		Three-month period ended March 31, 2017
Options to Hans Rigendinger		10,000,000		10,000,000

Total Options and Shares		20,000,000		24,566,665

Options related to Convertible CHF bonds: Each bond in the principal amount of CHF 5,000 can be converted on any business day during the conversion period into 625 common shares of SunVesta Holding AG at a conversion price equal to CHF 8.

A number of 1,380,863 stock equivalents of SunVesta Holding AG associated with the Convertible CHF Bond were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (3,877,625 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017).

Management

Overall project development is led by Hans Rigendinger, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Charles Fessel, Project Director, Cyrill Escher, Chief Funding Officer 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 Laboratorio Quattro.

Resort management was to be provided by Meliá Hotels International (“Meliá”). “Paradisus” is Meliá’s five-star all-inclusive luxury hotel brand that is well recognized in the hospitality industry around the world. Meliá 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. Meliá offers more than 300 hotels in 26 countries over four continents under its Gran Sol Meliá, Sol Meliá, ME by Sol Meliá, Innside by Sol Meliá, Tryp, Sol Meliá, Sol Meliá Vacation Club, and Paradisus brands. The Paradisus brand represents all-inclusive luxury resorts with hotels in Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

However, since the completion date for the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas development has been delayed until the middle of 2020 it is no longer possible for the Company to fufill the performance conditions agreed in its most recent amendment with Meliá dated April 28, 2016. The amendment to the original agreement with Meliá, dated March 8, 2011, stipulates the following conditions:

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

Should the completion not occur by September 15, 2018, and if the parties have not have agreed to an extension by such date, the Company will be required to pay Meliá $2,000 a day in liquidated damages.

Should the completion not occur by November 15, 2018, and should Meliá not agree to a time extension, the Company will be obligated to pay Meliá $5,000,000 in liquidated damages.

No amendment to the management agreement with Meliá has been reached, nor have we engaged an alternative management company for the project. Based on our current agreement with Meliá, the Company has recognized a provision for liquidated damages in the amount of $5,120,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Finance

The anticipated completion of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas by mid-2020 will require a net investment of approximately $215 million (excluding non-recuperated overhead expenses), of which approximately $62 million (excluding capitalized interest) has been expended as of March 31, 2018. We aim to realize a minimum of $150 million in new funding over the next twelve months. New funding over the next twelve months is expected to be raised from debt financing through bonds, shareholder loans and, if necessary, the guaranty agreement borne by certain principal shareholders and participants in management. Detailed below is a brief description of material debt obligations as of period end.

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 used to develop the Costa Rican property including for the purchase of land concessions, earthwork, and general and administrative costs.

Comprehensive Losses

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

Three months January 1 to March 31, 2017	(3,638,549	)
Variances:
Decrease in general and administrative expenses	422,468		Less consulting, travel and personnel expenses
Decrease in foreign exchange result	(384,130	)	Currency fluctuations

Decrease in impairment expenses	280,242		In 2017, the loan due from REP Caribbean was impaired
Change in fair values of conversion features	(346,235	)	Less gain due to lower volume on conversion feature in 2018
Increase in interest expenses	(1,062,467	)	More debt in 2018. Additionally, there was a change in the calculation of the interest accrual in 2017, resulting in lower expenses in 2017.
Decrease in other income/(expenses)	274,400		Gain on settlement of salary accrual
Increase in interest income	1,140		not material
Total variances	(1,942,774	)
Three months January to March 31, 2018	(5,581,323	)

We did not generate revenue during this period and we expect to continue to incur losses through the year ended December 31, 2018.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward and startup costs that will offset future operating profits.

Capital Expenditures

The Company expended a significant amount on capital expenditures for the period from inception to March 31, 2018, 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception the Company has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders, equity.

As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the following were working capital items:

	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Current assets
Cash and cash equivalents		4,356,184			4,058,982
Other assets		861,872			772,182
Total current assets		5,218,056			4,831,164
Current liabilities
Accounts payable		1,388,449			1,796,917
Accrued expenses		3,946,921			3,083,132
Bonds		11,382,794			11,032,145
Liability related to conversion feature		629,373			922,087
Provisions for liquidated damages		5,120,000			5,120,000
Other liabilities		47,522			28,720
Total current liabilities		22,515,058			21,983,000
Net working capital		(17,297,003	)		(17,151,837	)

The Company’s negative net working capital of $17.3 million is a significant concern of management going forward. Nevertheless, based on the guaranty signed by certain principals, the Company believes that it can address prospective liquidity problems in future periods.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the following line items amount to the total stockholders’ deficit:

	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Assets
Current assets		5,218,056			4,831,164
Non-current assets		81,463,426			78,945,277
Total assets		86,681,482			83,776,440
Liabilities
Current liabilities		22,515,058			21,982,999
Non-current liabilities		139,794,150			131,893,157
Total liabilities		162,309,208			153,876,156
Total stockholders’ deficit		(75,627,726	)		(70,099,716	)
Subordinated debt		82,628,834			79,339,011
Surplus		7,001,108			9,239,295

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, was $1.1 million, as compared to $3.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

We expect to continue to use net cash flow in operating activities until we complete the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas project and realize revenue from the operation of the project. The completion date is projected to be by the middle of 2020.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, was $1.6 million as compared to $0.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017. Net cash used in investing activities in the current three-month period is mainly comprised of the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities in the prior comparable three-month period was similarly mainly comprised of the purchase of property, plant and equipment offset by proceeds from the sale of property.

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, 2018, was $2.9 million as compared to $5.7 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2017. Net cash provided by financing activities in the current three-month period is mainly comprised of proceeds from notes payable to related parties. Net cash provided by financing activities in the prior comparable three-month period was mainly comprised of proceeds from notes payable to related parties and proceeds from bond issuances net of commissions, offset by the repayment of bonds and 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, current bond offerings and the assurance of the Guaranty Agreement as described in the going concern paragraph below are sufficient for us to conduct operations over the next twelve months.

We had no formal lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of March 31, 2018.

We have commitments that include an award letter issued in favor of certain general contractors together with purchase orders and related agreements for $150 million as of March 31, 2018, in connection with the development of the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas, which commitments are included in the required estimated net financing of $215 million to complete the project

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 maintain a defined benefit plan that covers all of our Swiss employees as of March 31, 2018.

We have no current plans to make any changes in the number of our employees as of March 31, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2018, 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 is currently working on building a hotel in the Papagayo Gulf Tourism Project area of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The project is expected to open mid-2020. Until the completion of the project, the following expenditures are estimated to be incurred:

a.	Gross project cost	$	240,000,000
b.	Less: Proceeds from sale of villas		(25,000,000	)
c.	Net project cost		215,000,000
d.	Overhead expenses		20,000,000
e.	Total, excluding other potential projects	$	235,000,000

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 such time as financing is secured for the entire project that they will act as guarantors to creditors of SunVesta Holding AG.

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, 2018, and the filing date, though future anticipated cash outflows for constructing the Paradisus Papagayo Bay Resort & Luxury Villas continue to depend on the availability of third party financing.
