ITEM 1.

BUSINESS


History


We were organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands on March 10, 2006, and our wholly owned subsidiary, Aegean Earth S.A., was organized under the laws of Greece in July 2007.  In February 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Aegean Earth S.A. from its shareholders.  Prior to our acquisition of Aegean Earth S.A., we had not generated revenues and our business consisted solely of attempting to identify, investigate and conduct due diligence on potential businesses for acquisition.    In January, 2008, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, which, among other things, changed our name from “Tiger Growth Corporation” to “Aegean Earth & Marine Corporation.”  


On February 1, 2010, the Company agreed to redeem for cash 450,000 of the Company’s Series A Preference Shares for $3.00 per share, or $1,350,000 in Cash.  The Company also agreed to convert 175,001 of its Series A Preference Shares for 1,050,006 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at a rate of $0.50 per share.  As a result of these transactions, Access America Fund, LP, holder of all outstanding Series A Preference Shares as of February 1, 2010, agreed to cancel the remaining 350,000 Series A Preference Shares of the Company, resulting in no outstanding Series A Preference Shares.


On February 9, 2010 the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Temhka S.A.(“Temhka”), a company organized under the laws of the Hellenic Republic and all the shareholders of Temhka pursuant to which the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Temhka from the Temhka shareholders solely in exchange for 1,623,333 Class B Preference Shares.   Each Series B Preference Share shall convert automatically into ten Ordinary Shares upon the intended reverse share split of 5.402 Ordinary Shares to 1 Ordinary Share and increase in the Company’s authorized ordinary shares.  Consequently, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Temhka, resulting in Temhka becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company issued a total of 400,000 ordinary shares for consulting services to a director of the Company and the Chief Execu tive Officer designate.


On February 10, 2010, the Company sold in an initial closing of a private offering (the “Offering”), 1,666,667 (assuming the reverse split of approximately 5.4 Shares for 1 Share) Ordinary Shares and 1,666,667 warrants with a strike price of $3.00 per share (on a post reverse split basis) for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000.  On March 30, 2010, the Company completed its private offering through the issuance of an additional 1,333,334 (assuming the reverse split of approximately 5.4 Shares for 1 Share) and 1,333,334 warrants with a strike price of $3.00 per share (on a post reverse split basis) for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000.  There will be 21,133,460 shares outstanding after these transactions (on a post reverse split basis).



 Business Plan

We are a holding company whose primary business operations are conducted through our direct, wholly owned subsidiaries Aegean Earth, S.A. and Temhka S.A.

Temhka S.A.’s business focus has been in the design, construction and outfitting of new factory and processing facilities for a broad spectrum of agricultural businesses and agricultural products.  In some cases, this may require construction and equipping of new facilities; but, in other cases, it may require expansion and modernization of existing plant and facilities as the customer’s core business has expanded.  Most of Temhka’s clients utilize European Union grants to help pay for these facilities.  For such clients Temhka prepares a feasibility study and construction plan, which is then submitted by the client to the applicable governmental authority for approval.  Once a study is completed and approved by the relevant governmental body, then Temhka designs and builds the facility to the pre-approved specifications outlined in the grant application.   Temhka’s business model is premised upon providin g turnkey solutions to businesses and individuals.


Aegean Earth S.A.’s primary business focus is the construction and development of real estate projects, marinas, and other commercial ventures in Greece and other parts of Southern and Eastern Europe, either alone or by forming joint ventures with other companies.  




1


We intend to focus our resources primarily on growing the businesses of Temhka S.A. and Aegean Earth, S.A.  In addition, we intend to pursue the next phase of our business plan, which is a consolidation and a roll-up over the next years of major companies in key areas of production of agricultural products that are unique to Greece.   

Business Model


Temhka S.A.


The Company’s business model is to design, build, and outfit manufacturing facilities, specializing in the agricultural sector but has the ability to design and construct facilities in a number of sectors.   An integral part of the business model is to develop projects that fall within approved focus areas for grant programs made available to member states within the European Union (“EU”) under the Community Support Framework (“CSF”) program.  The CSF is a multiyear program to provide member states with grant funding for infrastructure projects (highways, dams, etc.) as well as private business development within certain sectors, including agriculture.  Commencing in the late 1990’s, the EU has approved four CSF programs and the current CSF, which is the fourth, expires in 2013.  Accordingly, after 2013, formal EU approval will be required in order to have further CSF grants available.  


A typical construction project is conducted in a series of stages.  In the initial stage, the Company and the customer will agree upon the scope and timing of the project.  At that time, the customer deposits twenty percent (20%) of the estimated project costs with the Company.  Next, the Company’s economic and technical staff commences a feasibility study to determine the economic and market feasibility of the proposed project.  The feasibility study includes forecasts of economic and marketing viability of the project and detailed construction plans, specifications and drawings for the site, including buildings and all internal equipment needed to bring the project to full operational status.  The equipment for operations are pre-specified and confirmed by proforma purchase orders and submitted with the entire feasibility study and grant submission.  Depending upon the scope of the project, completion of the feasibilit y study can take weeks or several months.


Upon completion of the feasibility study, the Company submits the completed study, with economic forecasts, construction costs, equipment listing and costs, and a full bill of materials for the project, to the appropriate ministry for approval and endorsement by the ministry. After approval from the appropriate ministry has been received the project is forwarded to the EU authorities for approval.  Only after the project has received approval by the EU is a formal contract entered into between the Company and the customer.  Concurrently with contract signing, the customer is required to provide the Company with additional financing in the form of cash or cash guarantees that will enable the project to meet the EU requirement that there be cash or cash equivalents in the project account in an amount that, when grant funding from the EU and the CSF is received, that the project is 100% financed, including the construction profit.  In some cas es, the EU grant may exceed 50% or it may be slightly less than 50%.  In either instance, the difference is made up by the customer in the form of cash or cash equivalents.  Once construction is completed, the Company performs the necessary testing of the equipment and delivers a fully operational facility to the client.


Aegean Earth S.A.


Aegean Earth S.A.’s business is focused on construction and development of marinas, real estate projects, roads, utility structures, commercial buildings, and other related facilities in Greece, the Mediterranean and Balkan countries and other parts of Southern and Eastern Europe, either alone or by forming joint ventures with other companies.  We are actively pursuing construction opportunities both in the private and public sectors throughout the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Northern Africa regions.  


Market Opportunity

We intend to take advantage of what we perceive to be increasing demand for construction in the Mediterranean and Balkan countries.  In Greece, where Aegean Earth S.A. and Temhka S.A. are headquartered, a number of governmental initiatives have been announced that we believe will increase potential construction and development in Greece.  In 2007, the European Union announced that a series of infrastructure improvements have been planned, including the development of further upgrades of highways and the rail network, that are partially being financed by  




2


EUR24 billion funding which has been allocated to Greece from the European Union for the period from 2007 to 2013.  


The Greek government has made an effort to promote tourism, spending over $55 million in the promotion of tourism in 2006 alone, which resulted in an increase in tourism of over 10% in 2006 as compared to the previous year.  We believe that past increases in tourism are likely to continue, and could result in the need for construction of additional tourism related facilities such as hotels and marinas, resulting in additional opportunities for us.  In the surrounding states of Bulgaria and Romania, the European Union has designated over EUR22 billion in grant money for the purpose of structural improvements, primarily in the environmental and infrastructure areas.


Through Aegean Earth S.A., we hope to take advantage of the forgoing market opportunities by obtaining contracts and thereafter providing the construction and other services for these projects.


Customers


We intend to focus our efforts on developing a customer base consisting of private, public and quasi-public entities.  


Competition


The real estate construction, engineering and development businesses in Greece and the Baltic Region are highly fragmented and are highly competitive. We estimate that there are over 2,000 construction companies in Greece, with approximately 20 traded on the Athens Stock Exchange.   We believe that that the construction industry will continue to grow and that competition will increase substantially as more grant money from Greece, the European Union and/or other countries becomes available for infrastructure and development in the Mediterranean and Balkan countries.  We are aware of a number of larger international construction companies along with well established local construction and engineering firms that are currently contemplating developments (and others that are actively engaged in construction) that we believe will be our direct competitors.  


Some of the larger companies that we will be competing with include:


·

AKTOR S.A. and ELLINIKI TECHNODOMIKI S.A. which we believe to be one of, if not the largest, Greek construction company.  ELLINIKI TECHNODOMIKI is acting as holding company for the group investments and AKTOR S.A. is the construction and contracting company of the group. The company has a number or projects throughout Greece, in which it will build and operate a project for a contractually agreed to number of years (typically between 20-99), and then transfer the ownership back to the municipality that commissioned the project.


·

J&P AVAX S.A. which we believe to be a Greek company of J & P which is one of the main European contractors. The company originates from Cyprus.


·

GEK – TERNA, a Greek company, which we believe is active in Greece and abroad in public infrastructure projects and private development projects.  The company is also involved in energy projects.


·

MICHANIKI S.A., a Greek company having created a group industries around it mostly related to the construction business i.e. aluminum profile industry, wood construction related industry. The company works abroad, mainly in the Ukraine in development projects and recently has entered the Russian market.  


·

ATHINA S.A., a Greek company with experience in buildings and marine works and a lot of works in the Middle East.


·

AEGEK S.A. a Greek company with experience in infrastructure works especially dams and tunnels.  




3



·

VIOTER S.A., which we believe to be one of the smallest of the competitors listed herein which has experience in building works and serious involvement in development projects.


·

ATTIKAT S.A., a company involved in infrastructure works especially highways which recently sold a large part of its shares to GEK – TERNA S.A.


Each of the foregoing competitors has greater financial, personnel and other resources and more extensive experience in the development/engineering/construction business than the Company.    See “Risk Factors.”


Employees

As of April 16, 2010, we had thirty-nine employees, all of which are full time.



ITEM 1A.  

RISK FACTORS


This Annual  Report on Form 10-K  contains  "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended.  Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations or beliefs concerning future events and results.

Risks Related to our Business

We will require additional capital to pursue our business plan.


We have financed our operations since inception through funds raised in private placements.  In March 2010, we completed a private placement in connection with our acquisition of Temhka S.A, where we received approximately $4.5 million in gross proceeds.  We intend to utilize these proceeds primarily to fund our operating and capital requirements during the next fiscal year.  Accordingly, we expect to need to obtain additional private or public financing, including debt or equity financing, and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available as needed or, if available, on terms favorable to us. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders and such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our existing ordinary shares. Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility.  There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when and, if needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.  We may be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including joint venture projects and debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments, are likely to be dilutive to existing shareholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our subsequent investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, or may be issued with warrants or other derivative securities, which themselves may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.   Our ability to obtain needed financing m ay be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, the lack of a market for our ordinary shares, and our lack of profitability, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenue from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to reduce or cease operations. 


We may experience difficulties in integrating the businesses of Temhka S.A. with Aegean Earth S.A. which may adversely affect our financial performance.


We may not be able to integrate successfully the businesses of Temhka S.A. with Aegean Earth S.A., or such integration may be more costly to accomplish than we expect. In addition, we could encounter difficulties in managing our company due to its increased size and scope. There can be no assurance that we will realize anticipated operating synergies from these acquisitions.  We expect to realize increased revenues as a result of our acquisition of Temhka S.A.  Achievement of these expected benefits will depend, in part, on how we manage the integration of Temhka S.A.’s business with Aegean Earth S.A.  If we are unsuccessful in integrating the Temhka S.A. business in a cost-effective manner, we may not realize the expected benefits of the acquisition and our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.


Our future success depends on retaining its existing key employees.


Our future success depends to a significant degree on the continued service of our executive officers and other key employees, particularly Stavros Ch. Mesazos, our Chief Operating Officer and Executive Chairman and Dimitrios K. Vassilikos, our Chief Executive Officer.  Messrs. Mesazos and Vassilikos have experience in and knowledge of the construction industry in Greece and the loss of either or both of these individuals services could have a material adverse impact on our ability to compete in the construction industry in Greece.  No assurances can be given that we will be able to employ and/or keep other key executive officers. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers, or other key employees could make it more difficult to successfully operate the business and pursue the growth strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.  In addition, we do not have key-person insurance on any of our employees.





5


Our quarterly operating results may be volatile in the future


Our quarterly operating results may vary significantly in the future. Fluctuations in quarterly financial performance may result from, for example:


·

unevenness in demand and orders for our products and services; and


·

significant short-term capital expenses for construction projects.


Because of such fluctuations, our sales and operating results in any fiscal quarter may be inconsistent, may not be indicative of future performance and may be difficult for investors to properly evaluate.


Our Chief Operating Officer and Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer reside outside of the United States and all of our assets are located outside of the United States, which could make it difficult to enforce potential civil liabilities and judgments.


Stavros Ch. Mesazos, our Chief Operating Officer and Executive Chairman and Dimitrios K. Vassilikos, our Chief Executive Officer, are residents of countries other than the United States, and all of our assets are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or enforce in the United States against such persons judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or state securities laws.


You may not be able to enforce your claims in the Cayman Islands or Greece.


We are a Cayman Islands corporation and Aegean Earth, S.A. and Temhka S.A are Greek companies. There can be no assurance that a Cayman Islands or Greek court would not deem the enforcement of foreign judgments requiring us to make payments outside of the Cayman Islands or Greece to be contrary to the Cayman Islands or Greek public policy and/or enforceable.


Difficult conditions in the worldwide and European economy, particularly the Greek economy, may adversely affect our ability to complete acquisitions, receive additional financing, and may decrease the number of projects available for us to bid.


The difficult worldwide economic conditions, particularly in Greece, may significantly decrease the number of construction projects available for us to bid and make it more difficult to obtain funding to purchase the necessary raw materials to complete any of our intended projects.  In addition, we may not be able to obtain funds necessary to complete synergistic and accretive acquisitions, which remain an integral part of our business plan.  All of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


An integral part of our business plan involves acquisitions, which may or may not be completed.


The growth of our business through synergistic and accretive acquisitions remains an integral part of our business plan.  These acquisitions may include the acquisition of operating licenses necessary for us to participate in certain types of projects.  There can be no assurances that we will complete any further acquisitions.  If we fail to identify appropriate acquisition targets or if we are not able to complete additional acquisitions, we may not be able to expand our business and operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Our success depends upon our ability to successfully bid and timely complete construction projects, which involves a high degree of risk.


The construction business is subject to substantial risks, including, but not limited to, the ability to successfully bid on and be awarded favorable construction projects.  Further, if we are successful in bidding and are awarded construction projects, our ability to successfully complete such construction projects is subject to a number of additional risks, including, but not limited to, availability and timely receipt of; zoning and other regulatory




6


approvals, compliance with local laws, availability of and obtaining capital to fund the projects and potential equipment, raw materials and labor shortages.  These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent the start and/or the completion of construction activities once undertaken, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


The construction business is subject to a number of risks outside of our control.


Factors which could adversely affect the construction industry, which are beyond our control, include but are not limited to:


·

the availability and cost of financing for our customers;

·

unfavorable interest rates and increases in inflation;

·

overbuilding or decreases in demand;

·

changes in national, regional and local economic conditions;

·

cost overruns, inclement weather, and labor and material shortages;

·

the impact of present or future environmental legislation, zoning laws and other regulations;

·

availability, delays and costs associated with obtaining permits, approvals or licenses necessary to develop property;

·

increases in taxes or fees;

·

availability of governmental funding;

·

local laws; and

·

labor problems, work stoppages, strikes and negotiations with unions.


Product liability litigation and claims that may arise in the ordinary course of our business may be costly and could adversely affect our business.


Our construction business is subject to construction defect and product liability claims which are common in the construction industry and can be costly. Among the claims for which developers and builders have financial exposure are mold-related property damage and bodily injury claims. Damages awarded under these suits may include the costs of remediation, loss of property and health-related bodily injury. In response to increased litigation, insurance underwriters have attempted to limit their risk by excluding coverage for certain claims associated with pollution and product and workmanship defects. We may be at risk of loss for bodily injury claims in amounts that exceed available limits on our comprehensive general liability policies. In addition, the costs of insuring against construction defect and product liability claims, if applicable, are high and the amount of coverage offered by insurance companies is limited. There can be no assurance we will be able to obtai n insurance or if obtained, that the coverage will not be restricted and become more costly. If we are not able to obtain adequate insurance, we may experience losses that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.


We are subject to governmental regulations that may limit our operations, increase our expenses or subject us to liability.


We are subject to the laws, ordinances and regulations of Greece and the other countries where we do business, including the European Union.  These ordinances and regulations may concern, among other things:


·

environmental matters, including the presence of hazardous or toxic substances;

·

wetland preservation;

·

health and safety;

·

zoning, land use and other entitlements;

·

building design, and

·

density levels.


In developing any project, we may be required to obtain the approval of numerous Greek governmental authorities (and others) regulating matters such as:





7


·

installation of utility services such as gas, electric, water and waste disposal;

·

the dedication of acreage for open space, parks and schools;

·

permitted land uses, and

·

the construction design, methods and materials used.


We may at times not be in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements. If we are not in compliance with regulatory requirements, we may be subject to penalties or forced to incur significant expenses to cure any noncompliance. In addition, some of the land that we may acquire may not have received planning approvals or entitlements necessary for planned or future development. Failure to obtain entitlements necessary for development on a timely basis or to the extent desired would adversely affect the Company’s business.


Increased insurance risk could negatively affect our business.


Insurance and surety companies may take actions that could negatively affect our business, including increasing insurance premiums, requiring higher self-insured retentions and deductibles, requiring additional collateral or covenants on surety bonds, reducing limits, restricting coverage, imposing exclusions, and refusing to underwrite certain risks and classes of business. Any of these would adversely affect our ability to obtain appropriate insurance coverage at reasonable costs which would have a material adverse effect on our business.


The construction industry is highly competitive.


We will be subject to significant competition from other entities engaged in the business of commercial and infrastructure construction. Some of the world's most recognized construction and engineering firms operate in Greece and the surrounding countries.  Many of these companies possess significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do.  Moreover, if additional governmental funding, for construction projects becomes available and if the construction business becomes more profitable, we expect that competition in the construction industry will increase as new competitors enter the market and current competitors increase their operations.


Risks Related to Investing in Greece


The Greek economy has been characterized by heavy government spending, a bloated public sector, rigid labor rules and an overly generous pension system. Efforts by the government to effect structural reforms have often faced opposition from Greece’s powerful labor unions and the general public. Public debt, inflation and unemployment have been above the average for European Union member states. Greece is a major beneficiary of European Union aid and any reduction in such aid could adversely affect its economy. Greece is prone to severe earthquakes, which have the potential to disrupt its economy. Greece’s economy is dependent on the economies of other European nations. Many of these countries are members of the European Union and are member states of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (“EMU”). The member states of the European Union and EMU are heavily dependent on each other economically and politically.  


The state of the political and economic environment in Greece significantly affects our performance as well as the market price of our ordinary shares.  Consequently, an economic slowdown, a deterioration of conditions in Greece or other adverse changes affecting the Greek economy or the economies of other member states of the European Union could adversely impact our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Moreover, the political environment both in Greece and in other countries in which we operate may be adversely affected by events outside our control, such as changes in government policies, European Union directives, political instability or military action affecting Europe and/or other areas abroad and taxation and other political, economic or social developments in or affecting Greece and other European Union member states.  


Temhka S.A.’s business is highly dependent upon the continued availability of government grants.


Temhka’s business is highly dependent upon the availability of European Union grants under the Community Support Framework and other grants to its customers to provide funding for their construction projects.  The current Community Support Framework grant program expires in 2013.  If the European Union does not approve a new Community Support Framework program in 2013, or otherwise reduces grants available to businesses in Greece and elsewhere, it could adversely impact our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Risks Related to our Ordinary Shares


If we are a controlled foreign corporation, you may be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including having to include undistributed earnings in your gross income and/or not being able to take advantage of capital gains treatment in a sale of ordinary shares.


Under Section 951(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), each “United States shareholder” of a “controlled foreign corporation” (“CFC”) must include in its gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of the CFC’s “subpart F income,” even if no income is actually distributed to the “United States shareholder.” In addition, gain on the sale of stock in a CFC realized by a “United States shareholder” is treated as ordinary income, potentially eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to certain dividends, to the extent of such shareholder’s proportionate share of the CFC’s undistributed earnings and profits accumulated during such shareholder’s holding period for the stock. Section 951(b) of the Code defines a “United States shareholder” as any U.S. corporation, citizen, resident or other U.S. person who owns (directly or through cer tain deemed ownership rules) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of a foreign corporation. In general, a foreign corporation is treated as a CFC only if such “United States shareholders” collectively own more than 50% of the total combined voting power or total value of the foreign corporation’s shares. Although the Company following this Offering does not expect to be a CFC, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become a CFC in the future.  If the Company is treated as a CFC, the Company’s status as a CFC should have no adverse effect on any stockholder of the Company that is not a “United States shareholder.”


If we are considered to be a Passive Foreign Investment Company, you may be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.


Special adverse U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. holders of equity interests in a non-U.S. corporation classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”).  These rules apply to direct and indirect distributions received by U.S. shareholders with respect to, and direct and indirect sales, exchanges and other dispositions, including pledges of shares of stock of a PFIC.  A foreign corporation will be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year if at least 75% of its gross income (including a pro rata share of the gross income of any company in which we are considered to own twenty five (25) percent or more of by value) for the taxable year is passive income or at least 50% of our gross assets (including a pro rata share of the assets of any company of which we are considered to own twenty five (25) percent or more of by value) during the taxable year, based on a quarterly average of the assets by value, produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.


We believe that we will not be a PFIC for our current taxable year and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in future taxable years.  A foreign corporation’s status as a PFIC, however, is a factual determination that is made annually, and thus may be subject to change.  If we are deemed to be  a PFIC in any taxable year, each U.S. holder of our ordinary shares, in the absence of an election by such holder to treat the Company as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF Election”) would, upon certain distributions by us or upon disposition of the ordinary shares (possibly including a disposition by way of gift or exchange in a corporate reorganization, or the grant of the stock as security for a loan) at a gain, be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax rate on ordinary income in effect for each period to which the income is allocated plus interest on the tax, as if the distribution or gain and deem recognized ratably ove r the U.S. holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares while we were deemed to be a PFIC.  Additionally, the ordinary shares of a decedent U.S. holder who failed to make a QEF Election will generally be denied the normally available step-up of the tax basis for such ordinary shares to fair market value at the date of death and, instead, would have a tax basis equal to the decedent’s tax basis, if lower, in the ordinary shares.  U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers on the consequences of an investment in our ordinary shares if we are treated as a PFIC.  


There is presently no active trading market for our Ordinary Shares.  


There is no active trading market for our Ordinary Shares or any of our other securities. Although the ordinary shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “AEGZF,” to date there has been little or no trading of our ordinary shares and there can be no assurance as to when or if our ordinary shares will become actively traded.  If an active trading market does not develop or continue, shareholders will have limited liquidity and may be forced to hold their investment in our ordinary shares for an indefinite period of time.  




9



Further, the OTC Bulletin Board is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than national securities exchanges. Quotes for shares included on the OTC Bulletin Board are generally difficult to obtain and holders of securities quoted thereon may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price or at any price. Market prices for our ordinary shares may be influenced by a number of factors, including:


·

the issuance of new equity securities pursuant to future offerings;

·

changes in interest rates;

·

competitive developments, including announcements by our competitors;

·

new services or significant acquisitions;

·

strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

·

variations in quarterly operating results;

·

change in financial estimates by securities analysts;

·

the depth and liquidity of the market for our  ordinary shares; and

·

general economic and other national and international conditions.


The concentration of ownership of our ordinary shares with insiders and their affiliates is likely to limit the ability of other shareholders to influence corporate matters.


Approximately 67% of our outstanding ordinary shares are under the control of certain of our directors and executive officers and their affiliates.  As a result, these persons will have the ability to exercise control over all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including, but not limited to, the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.  This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that might be viewed as beneficial by other shareholders or discouraging a potential acquirer from making an offer to shareholders to purchase their ordinary shares in order to gain control of our company.


Because we do not intend to pay dividends, holders of our ordinary shares must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.  


We have not paid any dividends on our ordinary shares and we do not intend to declare and pay any dividends on our ordinary shares.  Earnings, if any, are expected to be retained to finance and expand our business.


Our ordinary shares are subject to the "Penny Stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our shares is limited, which makes transactions in our ordinary shares cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our ordinary shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

·

that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

·

the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

·

obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

·

make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.




10


The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

·

sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

·

that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us and as a result we could be subject to legal action.

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

In connection with the audit of the financial statements for the Mesazos Group of Companies (the predecessors to Temhka S.A.) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the auditors identified significant deficiencies in Temhka S.A.’s internal control over financial reporting but they did not create a material weakness.  A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of a company’s financial reporting.  If we fail to (1) remediate the significant deficiencies identified in Temhka S.A.’s internal control over financial reporting, and integrate Temhka S.A.’s internal control over financial reporting with ours, or (2) we fail to maintain the adequacy of internal control over our financial reporting with regard to the financial condition and results of operations of Temhka S.A., we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and could have a material adverse affect on our stock price. Additionally, failure to maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting could result in government investigation or sanctions by regulatory authorities.

If we fail to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of this assessment by our company's independent registered public accountants. The SEC extended the date to comply with the attestation requirements for non-accelerated filers, as defined by the SEC. Accordingly, we are subject to the rules requiring an annual assessment of our internal controls and the requirement to provide an attestation of management's assessment by our independent




11


registered public accountants will first apply to our annual report for the 2010 fiscal year. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. The attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

We may not be able to achieve secondary trading of our ordinary shares in certain states because our ordinary shares are not listed for trading on a national securities exchange.

Because our ordinary shares are not listed for trading on a national securities exchange, our ordinary shares are subject to the securities laws of the various states and jurisdictions of the U.S. in addition to federal securities laws.  This regulation covers any primary offering we might attempt and all secondary trading by our shareholders.  If we fail to take appropriate steps to register our ordinary shares or qualify for exemptions for our ordinary shares in certain states or jurisdictions of the U.S., the investors in those jurisdictions where we have not taken such steps may not be allowed to purchase our ordinary shares or those who presently hold our ordinary shares may not be able to resell their shares without substantial effort and expense.  These restrictions and potential costs could be significant burdens on our shareholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements


Statements, other than historical facts, contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including statements of potential acquisitions and our strategies, plans and objectives, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").  Although we believe that our forward looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we caution that such statements are subject to a wide range of risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.  Among those risks, trends and uncertainties are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially




13


from the forward looking statements, including, but not limited to; the effect of existing and future laws, governmental regulations and the political and economic climate of the United States; the effect of derivative activities; and conditions in the capital markets.  We undertake no duty to update or revise these forward-looking statements.


When used in this Form 10-K, the words, "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of important reasons.


Overview


We were formed on March 10, 2006 solely for the purpose of identifying and entering into a business combination with a privately held business or company, domiciled and operating in an emerging market.  On February 29, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Aegean Earth S.A. pursuant to a share exchange agreement.  Aegean Earth S.A. was formed in July 2007 for the purpose of engaging in the construction industry in Greece and surrounding Mediterranean countries.  Prior to our acquisition of Aegean Earth S.A., we were a blank check company that had not yet realized revenue.  Since the acquisition of Aegean Earth S.A., we have entered into negotiations for the construction of a number of construction projects in Greece and in northern Africa, but have not commenced any construction projects or entered into any binding agreements to perform a construction project.


On February 1, 2010, the Company agreed to redeem for cash 450,000 of the Company’s Series A Preference Shares for $3.00 per share, or $1,350,000 in Cash.  The Company also agreed to convert 175,001 of its Series A Preference Shares for 1,050,006 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at a rate of $0.50 per share.  As a result of these transactions, Access America Fund, LP, holder of all outstanding Series A Preference Shares as of February 1, 2010, agreed to cancel the remaining 350,000 Series A Preference Shares of the Company, resulting in no outstanding Series A Preference Shares.


On February 9, 2010 the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Temhka S.A.(“Temhka”), a company organized under the laws of the Hellenic Republic and all the shareholders of Temhka pursuant to which the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Temhka from the Temhka shareholders solely in exchange for 1,623,333 Class B Preference Shares.   Each Series B Preference Share shall convert automatically into ten Ordinary Shares upon the intended reverse share split of 5.402 Ordinary Shares to 1 Ordinary Share and increase in the Company’s authorized ordinary shares.  Consequently, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Temhka, resulting in Temhka becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company issued a total of 400,000 ordinary shares for consulting services to a director of the Company and the Chief Execu tive Officer designate.


On February 10, 2010, the Company sold in an initial closing of a private offering (the “Offering”), 1,666,667 (assuming the reverse split of approximately 5.4 Shares for 1 Share) Ordinary Shares and 1,666,667 warrants with a strike price of $3.00 per share (on a post reverse split basis) for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000.  On March 30, 2010, the Company completed its private offering through the issuance of an additional 1,333,334 (assuming the reverse split of approximately 5.4 Shares for 1 Share) and 1,333,334 warrants with a strike price of $3.00 per share (on a post reverse split basis) for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000.  There will be 21,133,460 shares outstanding after these transactions (on a post reverse split basis).


Results of Operations


Comparison of the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008


We have not had any revenues during the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008. Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $697,760 compared with $834,632 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease is primarily related to legal and professional fees related to the acquisition of Aegean Earth S.A. in 2008.  Other income (expense) decreased from a net expense $308,902 in other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 to a other expenses of $102,414.  This increase was caused by the strengthening




14


of the euro vs. the dollar in 2009, and was partially off-set by the impairment of goodwill in 2009 of $144,113 and $96,995 of interest income earned during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared with $3,317 earned in 2009.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2009, we had working capital of $1.3 million and a cash balance of $1.4 million.    We believe that we will be able to meet all of our needs in the next twelve months for operating expenses, but may seek external financing to increase working capital for expanded operations.  No assurances can be given, however, that our business plan will succeed and that we will be not need to seek additional external financing.  


Plan of Operation


During the next 12 months, our business will be focused on (i) the development and integration of Temhka S.A.’s and Aegean Earth S.A.’s businesses in Greece.  We estimate that our total anticipated general and administrative and other fixed costs for the next twelve months will be approximately $2,000,000, with other costs varying with the number of projects underway.  We expect that such estimated costs will increase depending on the size and number of projects that we undertake.  We anticipate utilizing project financing or deposit payments to fund the construction and development of the projects we undertake to the extent possible to mitigate the additional operating costs of undertaking construction and development projects.  We also expect to utilize financing, either the sale of debt or equity securities, to fund any acquisitions of construction companies that we undertake.

  


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.


Income Taxes

 

Aegean Earth and Marine Corporation was registered as an Exempted Company in the Cayman Islands, and therefore, is not subject to Cayman Island income taxes for 20 years from the Date of Inception.  While the Company has no intention of conducting any business activities in the United States, the Company would be subject to United States income taxes based on such activities that would occur in the United States.  


The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aegean Earth, S.A. and Temhka, S.A. are subject to income and other taxes in Greece.  The statutory income tax rate in Greece is currently 25%.  The Company has not incurred an income tax liability in Greece due to the net losses of the Company.


 The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is likely that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company attaining future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


As of December 31, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


As of December 31, 2009, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2009.  Management determined there was an insufficient number of personnel with appropriate technical accounting and SEC reporting expertise to adhere to certain control disciplines, and to evaluate and properly record certain non-routine and complex transactions.  Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009 because of the material weakness described in the preceding paragraph. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.





16


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.


Changes in Internal Controls.

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

Legal Proceedings

Code of Ethics


We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


We acquired Temhka S.A. pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement dated as of February 9, 2010 by and among us, Temhka S.A. and the shareholders of Temhka S.A.  As a result of the transaction, Stavros Mesazos, a controlling shareholder of Temhka S.A. was named to the Board of Directors to the Company and issued 665,567 Series B Preference Shares.  The Company also named Dimitrios Vassilikos as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  As a result of this transaction, Messrs. Vassilikos and Joseph Clancy were issued 300,000 and 100,000 shares, respectively, for consulting services related to the transaction.


 We acquired Aegean Earth S.A. pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement dated as of February 29, 2008 by and among us, Aegean Earth S.A., and Joseph Clancy and Konstantinos Polites for 500,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares.  The Company valued the transaction at approximately $50,000 based on the latest third party transaction involving the Company’s ordinary shares for a purchase of the Company’s shares at $0.10 per share. At the time of the acquisition, Mr. Clancy was a controlling shareholder and a Manager of Aegean Earth S.A. and pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, Mr. Clancy received 250,000 ordinary shares in exchange for his capital stock of Aegean Earth S.A.  In April 2008, Mr. Clancy transferred 83,333 ordinary shares to PrimeLife Holdings, Ltd.  Mr. Clancy is one of our directors and he is also the Manager of Aegean Earth S.A.  Based on the prior transaction described above, the dollar value received for the transaction was approximated at $50,000, and the dollar value received by Mr. Clancy was approximated to be $25,000 based on the $0.10 per share prior transaction.


In December 2007, we made two loans to Aegean Earth S.A. evidenced by two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $85,025.  These notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per year and are payable on demand.  These notes were written primarily to provide working capital to Aegean Earth S.A. prior to our contemplated acquisition of Aegean Earth S.A.  One of our directors, Joseph Clancy, was a controlling shareholder and a Manager of Aegean Earth S.A. at the time of the loans.


Access America Fund (“AAF”) previously agreed to make loans to us up to $500,000.  In May and November 2007, AAF loaned us $300,000, which are evidenced by promissory notes issued by us to AAF.  We used the loans to provide working capital to Aegean Earth S.A. prior to the acquisition.  The notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum, are payable on demand, and may be converted at any time and from time to time by the holder into an aggregate of approximately 2,500,000 ordinary shares.  On April 21, 2008, these Notes were converted into 2,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company.  The largest amount of principal outstanding on such loans was $300,000, and as a result of the conversion, as of April 21, 2008, there remaining outstanding principal balance of the loans was $0.  Access America Investments LLC (“AAI”) is the general manager of AAF.  Mr. Frank DeLape, was our Executive Chairman and a director and was th e Chairman of AAI at the time of the transaction and he is also the Chairman of Benchmark Equity Group which owns 41.7% of AAI.  Mr. Joseph Rozelle, who was our Chief Financial Officer and a director at the time the loans were made is the Chief Financial Officer of AAI.  


In November 2007, we reimbursed AAI for $84,980 in due diligence related expenses that were incurred by AAI on behalf us relating to the potential acquisition of Aegean Earth, S.A.



Director Independence


Our Board of Directors does not believe that any of the directors qualifies as independent under the rules of any of the national securities exchanges.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Aegean Earth & Marine Corporation.:

  

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aegean  Earth & Marine Corporation (the Company) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the cumulative period from inception (March 10, 2006) through December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estima tes made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aegean Earth & Marine Corporation as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the cumulative period from inception (March 10, 2006) through December 31, 2009, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

  

The accumulated deficit during the development stage for the period from date of inception (March 10, 2006) through December 31, 2009 is $2,066,989.


As discussed in Note 9, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Temhka, S.A., redeemed certain preference shares, and issued new ordinary shares during 2010.

Aegean Earth & Marine Corporation

(A Development Stage Company)


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009

(Unaudited)



NOTE 1 - Organization, Business and Operations


On March 10, 2006, Aegean Earth and Marine Corporation, formerly Tiger Growth Corporation (“we”, “us”, “our” or the "Company"), was formed in the Cayman Islands with the objective to acquire, or merge with, a foreign operating business. On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired Aegean Earth S.A., a Greek company formed with the intention of operating in the construction and development sectors in Greece and the surrounding areas.


Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Aegean Earth S.A., we intend to engage in the business of construction and development of real estate projects, roads, utility structures, commercial buildings, and other related facilities in Greece, the Mediterranean and Balkan countries and other parts of Southern and Eastern Europe, either alone or by forming joint ventures with other companies.  We also intend to actively pursue the acquisition of complimentary construction companies to increase construction project opportunities and revenue.  We are actively pursuing construction opportunities both in the private and public sectors throughout the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Northern Africa regions.  We are also currently pursuing acquisitions of other complimentary companies, provided, however, that no assurance can be given that any such acquisition will be completed.

On January 8, 2008, the Company amended its Memorandum and Articles of Association to increase its authorized share capital from 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares and 1,000,000 Preference Shares to 78,125,000 Ordinary Shares and 20,000,000 Preference Shares.  In addition, our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares increased from 1,281,500 Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the stock split to 2,002,691 Ordinary Shares immediately after the stock split.  All share and per share data give effect to this split applied retroactively as if it occurred at the date of inception.  The Company also changed its corporate name in January 2008 to Aegean Earth and Marine Corporation in anticipation of a proposed transaction.


On January 15, 2008, the Company designated 5 million of our Preference Shares as Series A Preference Shares. The Series A Preference Shares shall rank senior as to the payment of dividends and in liquidation as to the Ordinary Shares.  The Series A Preference Shares have a stated value of $3.00 per share, which is subject to adjustment (the “Stated Value”).  The Series A Preference Shares have the right to vote only with respect to matters relating to amendments of any of the preferences, rights or limitations of the Series A Preference Share or the issuance by the Company of Preference Shares having rights equal to and/or superior to the Series A Preference Shares.


On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Aegean Earth, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Greece (“Aegean Earth”), from Joseph Clancy and Konstantinos Polites, the sole stockholders of Aegean Earth (the “Aegean Earth Shareholders”) pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement dated as of February 29, 2008 for 500,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares.  Effective at the closing of the Acquisition (the “Acquisition Closing”) Aegean Earth became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.   The focus of Aegean Earth S.A. is to participate in the construction and development business for, among other projects, the direct contracting or joint venturing in the construction and development of marinas, real estate projects, roads, utility structures, commercial buildings, and other related facilities.  Based on a prior transaction involving the sale of the Com pany’s ordinary shares, the Company values the purchase at $50,000.  

Simultaneously with the Acquisition Closing, the Company in a private offering made solely to accredited investors sold 1,908,675 ordinary shares and 1,908,675 Series A Preference Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5,726,025.  On April 8, 2008 the Company sold an additional 91,667 Ordinary Shares and 91,667 Series A Preference Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $275,001.  On April 21, 2008 the Company converted $300,000 in notes payable plus accrued interest into 2,500,000 of the Company’s ordinary





F-7




NOTE 1 - Organization, Business and Operations (continued)


shares.  On July 11, 2008, the Company sold an additional 50,000 Ordinary Shares and 50,000 Series A Preference Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $150,000.  

The Company, at its sole discretion, has undertaken a program to redeeming approximately $3.2 million of its redeemable Series A Preference Shares for cash, as the entirety of the proceeds are no longer needed to effectuate a previously contemplated acquisition that will not take place.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company had redeemed 1,075,341 shares of the Series A Preference Shares for approximately $3.2 million.

Redeemable Preference Shares with Beneficial Conversion Features 

During 2008, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $129,041 to the Series A preference shares redeemed based upon the difference between the relative fair value assigned at the time of issuance to the Series A preference shares and the ordinary shares.  The amount attributable to the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a dividend to the holders of the Series A preference shares redeemed during the year ended December 31, 2008. Since the redemption of the Series A preference shares is at the sole discretion of the Company, the Company is not accreting the carrying value of the Series A preference shares to redemption value and will not do so until the Company elects to redeem additional Series A preference shares for cash.  

Acquisition of Temhka, S.A.

On February 9, 2010 the Company acquired Temhka, S.A. for 1,623,333 Series B preference shares.  See Note 9 - Subsequent Events

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation


These consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United State of America, whereby revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses when incurred. The Company also follows the accounting and reporting guidance for Development Stage Enterprises in preparing its consolidated financial statements.


Statement of Cash Flows

 

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments (i.e., investments which, when purchased, have original maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Loss Per Ordinary Share


Basic loss per ordinary share is based on the weighted effect of ordinary shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shares by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the basic loss per share calculation plus the number of ordinary shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding.  The Company does not present diluted earnings per share for years in which it incurred net losses as the effect is antidilutive.  At December 31, 2009, there were no potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding.




F-8




NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Stock Split


On January 8, 2008, the Company divided and increased the authorized ordinary share capital of the Company from 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares of $0.001 par value each to 78,125,000 Ordinary Shares of $0.00064 par value each by the division (split) of 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares of US$0.001 par value each into 78,125,000 Ordinary Shares of US$0.00064 par value each.  This resulted in every shareholder as of January 8, 2008 receiving 100 Ordinary shares for every 64 Ordinary shares previously held.  This was treated as a stock split for U.S. GAAP purposes, and all share and per share data is presented as if the division took place as of the date of inception, March 10, 2006.  On January 8, 2008, the Company also divided and increased the authorized preference share capital of the Company from 1,000,000 Preference Shares of $0.001 par value each to 20,000,000 Preference Shares of $0.00064 par value by the division of 1,000, 000 Preference Shares of US$0.001 par value each into 1,562,500 Preference Shares of US$0.00064 par value each, and the authorization of an additional 18,437,500 Preference Shares with a par value of US$0.00064 each.  


Income Taxes

 

Aegean Earth and Marine Corporation was registered as an Exempted Company in the Cayman Islands, and therefore, is not subject to Cayman Island income taxes for 20 years from the Date of Inception.  While the Company has no intention of conducting any business activities in the United States, the Company would be subject to United States income taxes based on such activities that would occur in the United States.  The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Aegean Earth S.A. may be subject to income and other taxes in Greece.  The statutory corporate income tax rate in Greece is 25%.


The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is likely that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company attaining future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments consist of accounts payable and payables to an affiliate. We believe the fair value of our payables reflects their carrying amounts.


In 2007, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the measurement and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities.  This guidance established a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and clarified the definition of fair value within that framework. This guidance does not require assets and liabilities that were previously recorded at cost to be recorded at fair value or for assets and liabilities that are already required to be disclosed at fair value, This guidance introduced, or reiterated, a number of key concepts which form the foundation of the fair value measurement approach to be used for financial reporting purposes. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates to receive in connection with the sale of an asset or paid in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). This guidance also established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:


Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


Level 3—unobservable inputs.





F-9




NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)


The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, but this guidance introduced new disclosures about how we value certain assets and liabilities. Much of the disclosure is focused on the inputs used to measure fair value, particularly in instances where the measurement uses significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company did not have financial assets or liabilities that would require measurement on a recurring basis based on this guidance.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations, (ASC 805, Business Combinations) “ASC 805”, which replaces SFAS No. 141. ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and any noncontrolling interest acquired due to a business combination. ASC 805 expands the definitions of a business and a business combination, resulting in an increased number of transactions or other events that will qualify as business combinations. Under ASC 805 the entity that acquires the business (the “acquirer”) will record 100 percent of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values. As such, an acquirer will not be permitted to recognize the allowance for loan losses of the acquiree. ASC 805 requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual. In most business combin ations, goodwill will be recognized to the extent that the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date exceeds the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed as incurred rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. ASC 805 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 805 on January 1, 2009, had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (ASC 855, Subsequent Events) “ASC 855”. ACS 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, ASC 855 provides (a) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (b) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (c) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASC 855 in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption did not materially impact the Company. We considered all subsequent events through April 19, 2010, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No.168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) “ASC 105”, which states that the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The codification is effective for these third quarter financial statements and the principal impact is li mited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative literature will be reference in accordance with the codification.


In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that




F-10




NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2009-05 on our financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.  The implementation of the fair value guidance for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, effective January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.


In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 (early adoption is permitted), modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable. The Company is currently assessing the impact (if any) on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.


Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 3 – Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has no revenues for the period from inception through December 31, 2009.  Throughout 2008 the Company raised approximately $6.2 million in a private placement for a potential acquisition and for the operations of the Company.  As this acquisition did not take place, the Company began a redemption program for its preference shares, and had redeemed approximately $3.2 million in preference shares as of December 31, 2009.  The Company believes that this will be sufficient for the next 12 months to achieve its business objectives.  There can be no assurances that the Company will ever consummate another business combination; achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from its operations, reduce expenses or sell additional ordinary shares.  


NOTE 4 - Related Party Transactions


During 2008 Aegean Earth S.A. retained the services of Ergo Systems S.A. to provide general consulting and additional services.  Ergo Systems S.A. is owned by one of the founders of Aegean Earth S.A. and one of the shareholders of the Company.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company has incurred approximately $77,000 in consulting fees since the acquisition of Aegean Earth S.A.


In January 2009, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Nautilus Global Partners, one of the original founders of the Company, to provide general consulting services.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company paid $120,000 in consulting fees related to this agreement.


During 2009, the Company decided to no longer hold cash with its administrator and send the balance of its funds to Nautilus Global Partners, LLC, one of the original founders of the Company to repay a related party payable.  The balance of these funds held by the administrator was more than the payable, resulting in a receivable from Nautilus Global Partners, LLC.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a related party receivable for $8,546.


NOTE 5 - Ordinary Shares


On April 10, 2006, the Company was capitalized with 1,640,625 shares of its restricted ordinary shares issued at par value of $0.00064 per share, for consideration of $1,050 to its founding shareholders.  These shares, along with a payable issued to the founder of $5,548, were the basis of the funding of the Company’s $6,598 in formation costs.  






F-11




NOTE 6 – Ordinary Shares (continued)


On May 31, 2006, the Company sold 277,610 shares of its restricted ordinary shares for $35,500. The restricted ordinary shares were sold to 355 offshore private investors pursuant to a Private Placement Offering in lots of 782 shares each at $0.1279 per share.  On July 18, 2006, the Company sold an additional 84,456 shares of its restricted ordinary shares for $10,800. The restricted ordinary shares were sold to 108 offshore private investors pursuant to a Private Placement Offering in lots of 782 shares each at $0.1279 per share.  No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.  On February 29, 2008, the Company issued 1,908,675 ordinary shares in conjunction with its raising of approximately $5.7 million in financing.  On April 8, 2008 the Company sold an additional 91,667 Ordinary Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $275,001.  On April 21, 2008 the Company converted $300 ,000 in notes payable plus accrued interest into 2,500,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares. On July 11, 2008 the Company sold an additional 50,000 Ordinary Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $150,000.  

NOTE 6 - Preference Shares


At formation, the Company was authorized to issue 1,562,500 shares of preference shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.  In January 2008, the Company increased the number of authorized preference shares to 20 million, and designated 5,000,000 as Series A Preference Shares.  On February 29, 2008, the Company issued 1,908,675 Series A Preference Shares in conjunction with its raising of approximately $5.7 million in financing.  On April 8, 2008 the Company sold an additional 91,667 Series A Preference Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $275,001. On July 11, 2008 the Company sold an additional 50,000 Series A Preference Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $150,000.   The Company, at its sole discretion, has undertaken a program to redeem a portion of its redeemable Series A Preference Shares f or cash, as the entirety of the proceeds are no longer needed to effectuate a previously contemplated acquisition that will not take place.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company had redeemed 1,075,341 shares of the Series A Preference Shares for approximately $3.2 million.

The Series A Preference Shares rank senior as to the payment of dividends and in liquidation to the ordinary shares.  The Series A Preference Shares have a stated value of $3.00 per share, which is subject to adjustment (the “Stated Value”).  The Series A Preference Shares have the right to vote only with respect to matters relating to amendments of any of the preferences, rights or limitations of the Series A Preference Share or the issuance by the Company of

Preference Shares having rights equal to and/or superior to the Series A Preference Shares.  Each Series A Preference Share may be redeemed by us at our sole option at any time and from time to time commencing six months after the date of issuance (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Stated Value, and (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon.  


Unredeemed Series A Preference Shares are eligible to be converted into ordinary shares (the “Conversion Shares”) at the then applicable Conversion Ratio (as defined below) thirty months after the date of issuance. Each Series A Preference Share is convertible into six (6) ordinary shares (the “Conversion Ratio”), with each date of conversion being referred to as the “Conversion Date”.  Upon conversion, all accrued and unpaid (undeclared) dividends on the Series A Preference Shares through the Conversion Date shall be paid in additional ordinary shares as if such dividends had been paid in additional shares of Series A Preference Shares rounded up to the nearest whole number, and then automatically converted into additional ordinary shares at the then applicable Conversion Ratio.  The Conversion Ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of share splits, share dividends, combinations, reclassifications and the like and to weighted average anti-dilution protection for sales of ordinary shares at a purchase price below $0.50 per share.


Each Series A Preference Share accrues dividends at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum of the Stated Value ($0.18 per share per annum) and is payable on the Redemption Date.  Dividends payable will be prorated from the date each Series A Preference Share was issued based on the number of days each such Series A Preference Share

was outstanding.  Dividends on the Series A Preference Shares are cumulative.  No dividends or other distributions may be paid or otherwise made with respect to the ordinary shares and no ordinary shares may be repurchased by the Company during any fiscal year of the Company until dividends on the Series A Preference Shares have been declared, paid or set apart during that fiscal year.  In addition, the Company reserves the right to declare and pay

NOTE 6 - Preference Shares (continued)


optional dividends to the holders of Series A Preference Shares in such amounts, form (securities and/or cash) and at such time as determined by the Company’ s Board of Directors.  The Series A Preference Shares have a liquidation preference over the ordinary shares equal to the then stated value, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.


NOTE 7 – Business Combination


On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired  all of the outstanding capital stock of Aegean Earth, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Greece  pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement dated as of February 29, 2008 for 500,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares.  Effective at the closing of the Acquisition, Aegean Earth S.A. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.   Based on a prior transaction involving the sale of the Company’s ordinary shares, the Company values the purchase at $50,000 plus the elimination of the note receivable plus accrued interest, resulting in a total purchase price of $135,986.  

The Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. After considering all the relevant factors in determining the acquiring enterprise, including, but not limited to, relative voting rights, composition of the board of directors and senior management, and the relative size of the companies, the merger was deemed an acquisition and the Company was treated as the “acquiring” company for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

A summary of the components of the estimated purchase price for the acquisition, is as follows:


Fair value of the Company’s share capital

$

50,000 

Elimination of Note Receivable from Aegean Earth, S.A. plus accrued interest

 

85,986 

Total

$

135,986 


The fair value of Company’s common stock was estimated by management of the Company.


The purchase price was allocated based on a determination of the value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition will not be amortized, but will be included in the Company’s annual review of goodwill for impairment. The following represents the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities of Aegean Earth, SA. This allocation was based on the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Aegean Earth S.A. as of February 29, 2008. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired is reflected as goodwill:



Net tangible assets, excluding cash

As of December 31, 2009, the Company determined that the acquisition may not realize the value of the intangible assets due to a shift in the Company’s strategy to concentrate on the agricultural sector.  Due to the shift in strategy, the Company decided  to record an impairment to goodwill for the entire amount booked.

NOTE 8 - Commitments and Contingencies


The Company may become subject to various claims and litigation.  The Company vigorously defends its legal position when these matters arise.  The Company is not a party to, nor the subject of, any material pending legal proceeding nor to the knowledge of the Company, are any such legal proceedings threatened against the Company.


NOTE 9 – Subsequent Events


On February 1, 2010, the Company agreed to redeem for cash 450,000 of the Company’s Series A Preference Shares for $3.00 per share, or $1,350,000 in Cash.  The Company also agreed to convert 175,001 of its Series A Preference Shares for 1,050,006 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at a rate of $0.50 per share.  As a result of these transactions, Access America Fund, LP, holder of all outstanding Series A Preference Shares as of February 1, 2010, agreed to cancel the remaining 350,000 Series A Preference Shares of the Company, resulting in no outstanding Series A Preference Shares.


On February 9, 2010 the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Temhka S.A.(“Temhka”), a company organized under the laws of the Hellenic Republic and all the shareholders of Temhka pursuant to which the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Temhka from the Temhka shareholders solely in exchange for 1,623,333 Class B Preference Shares.   Each Series B Preference Share shall convert automatically into ten Ordinary Shares upon the intended reverse share split of 5.402 Ordinary Shares to 1 Ordinary Share and increase in the Company’s authorized ordinary shares.  Consequently, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Temhka, resulting in Temhka becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company issued a total of 400,000 ordinary shares for consulting services to a director of the Company and the Chief Execu tive Officer designate.


On February 10, 2010, the Company sold in an initial closing of a private offering (the “Offering”), 1,666,667 (assuming the reverse split of approximately 5.4 Shares for 1 Share) Ordinary Shares and 1,666,667 warrants with a strike price of $3.00 per share (on a post reverse split basis) for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000.  On March 30, 2010, the Company completed its private offering through the issuance of an additional 1,333,334 (assuming the reverse split of approximately 5.4 Shares for 1 Share) and 1,333,334 warrants with a strike price of $3.00 per share (on a post reverse split basis) for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000.  There will be 21,133,460 shares outstanding after these transactions (on a post reverse split basis).
