You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the complaint and
the certification.

NEW YORK B
July 21, 2006
Wolf Popper LLP has filed a securities fraud lawsuit on
behalf of all persons and entities who purchased the securities of Sunterra
Corporation ("Sunterra" or the "Company") (OTC: SNRR.PK)
on the open market during the period April 15, 2003 through June 22, 2006
(the "Class Period").
The action is pending in the United States District Court,
District of Nevada, against defendants Sunterra, Nicholas J. Benson (CEO),
Steven E. West (CFO), and David R. Harris (Managing Director of Sunterra Europe)
and is seeking remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaint
can be obtained from the Court or you can view or download a copy of the
complaint at http://www.wolfpopper.com/publications/currentCases.cfm.
If you bought the securities of Sunterra between April 15,
2003 through June 22, 2006, inclusive, and sustained damages, you may, no later
than September 11, 2006, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff.
Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as
"lead plaintiff." You may retain Wolf Popper LLP, or other counsel of your
choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
The complaint alleges that statements issued by the
defendants during the Class Period were materially false and misleading when
made because defendants failed to disclose that: (a) the Company’s financial
statements were not prepared in accordance with GAAP; (b) the Company’s earnings
had been overstated and expenses understated because of the underpayment of
withholding taxes in Spain; (c) the Company lacked adequate internal controls
and was therefore unable to report accurate financial results or ascertain the
true financial condition of Sunterra; (d) defendants had issued false and
misleading financial projections to investors which the Company could only
achieve by overstating its revenues and earnings; and (e) that as a result,
Sunterra’s net income and financial results were materially misstated during the
Class Period.
As the above revelations entered the market, Sunterra stock
fell 34% from its Class Period high of $16.72 per share.
