Solar Energy Overview
Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available. Solar technologies can harness this energy for a variety of uses, including generating electricity, providing light or a comfortable interior environment, and heating water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use.
There are three main ways to harness solar energy: photovoltaic, solar heating and cooling, and concentrating solar power. Photovoltaics generate electricity directly from sunlight via an electronic process and can be used to power anything from small electronics such as calculators and road signs up to homes and large commercial businesses. Solar heating and cooling (SHC) and concentrating solar power (CSP) applications both use the heat generated by the sun to provide space or water heating in the case of SHC systems, or to run traditional electricity-generating turbines in the case of CSP power plants.
Solar energy is a very flexible energy technology: it can be built as distributed generation (located at or near the point of use) or as a central-station, utility-scale solar power plant (similar to traditional power plants). Both of these methods can also store the energy they produce for distribution after the sun sets, using new solar and storage technologies.
In the last decade alone, solar has experienced an average annual growth rate of 48%. Thanks to strong federal policies like the solar Investment Tax Credit, rapidly declining costs, and increasing demand across the private and public sector for clean electricity, there are now nearly 78 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity installed nationwide, enough to power 14.5 million homes.
The cost to install solar has dropped by more than 70% over the last decade, leading the industry to expand into new markets and deploy thousands of systems nationwide. Prices as of June 2021 are at their lowest levels in history across all market segments.
Solar has ranked first or second in new electric capacity additions in each of the last years. In 2019, 40% of all new electric capacity added to the grid came from solar, the largest such share in history. Solar’s increasing competitiveness against other technologies has allowed it to quickly increase its share of total U.S. electrical generation - from just 0.1% in 2010 to more than 2.5% today.
Homeowners and businesses are increasingly demanding solar systems that are paired with battery storage. While this pairing is still relatively new, the growth over the next five years is expected to be significant. By 2025, more than 25% of all behind-the-meter solar systems will be paired with storage, compared to under 5% in 2019.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company is in its development stage and intends to build and operate solar-powered, carbon-negative greenhouses utilizing Artificial Intelligence assisted technologies to control the growing environment if it can obtain financing. The Company’s revenue is expected to come from growing farm-fresh fruits and vegetables to be sold to local markets.
The Company intends to produce farm-fresh fruits and vegetables for local delivery in historically productive agricultural regions with high solar indexes and close to large urban areas of the United States, such as the Front Range of Colorado and Central Valley of California.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2020
During the year ended December 31, 2019 we did not generate any revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized revenues from sub-leasing operations of $13,125. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a direct cost of revenue of $13,125.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, expenses from operations were $297,519 compared to $4,515 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in expenses was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses resulting from the efforts to prepare us to become a fully reporting company with the SEC.
| 6 |
Year Ended December 31, 2021
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company had no revenues. During this period the Company recognized $5,078,065 in general and administrative expenses, $14,850,000 loss from land and structures acquisitions and $47,027 in interest expense. This produced a loss of $19,906,722, of which $68,370 was attributable to minority ownership; therefore, the Company’s shareholders recorded a $19,906,722 loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not yet begun operations. Since inception and through December 31, 2021, we have raised $2,497,452 from insiders, including John McKowen, the Company CEO and Chairman.
On August 17, 2020, VitaNova Partners, LLC agreed to provide us with a $1,000,000 line of credit. Amounts drawn on the line of credit bear interest at 6% per year. We have not drawn on this line of credit as of the date of this report.

Significant Accounting Policies
See Note 2 to the December 31, 2021 Financial Statements included as part of this report for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.
Impairment Policy
At least once every year, management examines all our assets for proper valuation and to determine if an impairment is necessary. In terms of real estate owned, this impairment examination also includes the accumulated depreciation. Management examines market valuations and if an additional impairment is necessary for lower of cost or market, then an impairment charge is recorded.
Contractual Obligations
As of December 31, 2021, we did not have any material capital commitments.
Significant Accounting Policies
For a discussion of our significant accounting policies please see Note 2 to the audited financial statements included as part of this report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities and contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As a result, management is required to routinely make judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions. The following discussion pertains to accounting estimates management believes are most critical to the presentation of our financial position and results of operations that require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. As a result of this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| 1. | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; | |
| 2. | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and | |
| 3. | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of December 31, 2021, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that as of December 31, 2021 our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Officers and Directors
| Name | Age | Position | ||
| John R. McKowen | 72 | Chief Executive, Financial, and Accounting Officer and a Director |
John R. McKowen has been an officer and director of the Company since June 2018. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. McKowen served as the Chief Executive Officer and President of GrowCo Inc., a builder of greenhouses, from May 2014 to May 2016 and again since October 2017. Mr. McKowen was the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Two Rivers Waters and Farming Company from November 2009 to May 2016.
We believe Mr. McKowen is qualified to act as a director based upon his knowledge of business practices and, in particular, his experience in building greenhouses.
Mr. McKowen is not independent as that term is defined in Section 803 of the NYSE American Company Guide.
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.
We do not have a financial expert as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our Board of Directors does not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, committees performing similar functions, or charters for such committees. Instead, the functions that might be delegated to such committees are carried out by our directors, to the extent required. Our directors believe that the cost of associated with such committees, has not been justified under our current circumstances. During the year ended December 31, 2021 we did not compensate any person for serving as an officer or a director.
Our Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility to evaluate and respond to risks facing us. Our Board of Directors fulfills its obligations in this regard by meeting on a regular basis and communicating, when necessary, with our officers.
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics which is applicable to our principal executive, financial, and accounting officers and persons performing similar functions since we only have one executive officer.
Holders of our common stock can send written communications to our entire Board of Directors, or to one or more Board members, by addressing the communication to “the Board of Directors” or to one or more directors, specifying the director or directors by name, and sending the communication to our corporate office. Communications addressed to the Board of Directors as whole will be delivered to each Board member. Communications addressed to a specific director (or directors) will be delivered to the director (or directors) specified.
A security holder communication not sent to the Board of Directors as a whole is not relayed to Board members which did not receive the communication.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Our executive officers will be compensated through the following three components:
| ● | Base Salary | |
| ● | Short-Term Incentives (cash bonuses) | |
| ● | Long-Term Incentives (equity-based awards) | |
| ● | Benefits |
| 10 |
These components provide a balanced mix of base compensation and compensation that is contingent upon our executive officer’s individual performance. A goal of the compensation program is to provide executive officers with a reasonable level of security through base salary and benefits. We want to ensure that the compensation programs are appropriately designed to encourage executive officer retention and motivation to create shareholder value. We believe that our shareholders are best served when we can attract and retain talented executives by providing compensation packages that are competitive but fair.
Base Salaries
Base salaries generally have been targeted to be competitive when compared to the salary levels of persons holding similar positions in other publicly traded mining companies of comparable size. The executive officer’s respective responsibilities, experience, expertise, and individual performance are considered.
Short-Term Incentives
Cash bonuses may be awarded at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors based upon a variety of factors that encompass both individual and company performance.
Long-Term Incentives
Equity incentive awards help to align the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders. Equity based awards are made under our Equity Incentive Plan. Options are granted with exercise prices equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and may be subject to a vesting schedule as determined by the Board of Directors who administer the plan.
We believe that grants of equity-based compensation:
| ● | enhance the link between the creation of shareholder value and long-term executive incentive compensation; | |
| ● | provide focus, motivation, and retention incentive; and | |
| ● | provide competitive levels of total compensation |
In addition to cash and equity compensation programs, executive officers participate in the health and welfare benefit programs available to other employees.
Compensation Table
The following table sets forth in summary form the compensation received by our Chief Executive Officer for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2021:

CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of VETANOVA INC
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of VETANOVA INC as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020
Note 1 – Organization and Business
The Company is in its development stage and intends to build and operate solar-powered, carbon-negative greenhouses utilizing Artificial Intelligence assisted technologies to control the growing environment if the Company can obtain financing. The Company’s revenue is expected to come from growing farm-fresh fruits and vegetables to be sold to local markets.
The Company intends to produce farm-fresh fruits and vegetables for local delivery in historically productive agricultural regions with high solar indexes and close to large urban areas of the United States, such as the Front Range of Colorado and Central Valley of California.
In
2021 the Company acquired four contiguous parcels of land from a related party totaling

| ● | construct

| F-7 |
The Company has a direct or indirect interest in the three entities listed above.
The Company plans to finance all or a part of the cost of retrofitting/ constructing greenhouses and warehouses and acquiring solar systems through future offering of the Company’s securities, proceeds from the exercise of the Company’s warrants or borrowings from private lenders.
As of December 31, 2021 the Company did not have any agreements with any person to purchase any of the Company’s securities lend any funds to the Company or purchase and lease back any of the greenhouse/ warehouse facilities which the Company plans to retrofit or construct.
On August 4, 2021 the Company entered in an agreement with Mastronardi Produce Limited pursuant to which Mastronardi was granted the exclusive right to sell and market all US Grade No. 1 Products produced from all of the Company’s greenhouses in North America. For each sale, Mastronardi will be paid a low double digit percentage of the gross price received for the sale of the products grown at the Company’s greenhouses, plus all costs incurred in the sale and distribution of such products.
Mastronardi is a fourth-generation family owned company and the leading marketer and distributor in North America of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, berries and leafy greens. Mastronardi has an extensive and long-tenured retail network and is nationally recognized under the primary SUNSET® brand and other brands, including Campari®, Angel Sweet®, Flavor Bombs®, Sugar Bombs®, tomatoes and WOW™ berries.
Going Concern
The Company has suffered recurring losses from
initial buildout and has a significant accumulated deficit, which, as of December 31, 2021, was $
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements, prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, have been presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Consolidation
In
January 2021, the Company formed VetaNova Solar Partners, LLC (“VSP”). VSP is authorized to issue common and
preferred membership units. As of December 31, 2021, common units and preferred units were outstanding,
representing a total of units outstanding. The Company owns of common units of VSP which represent approximately
| F-8 |
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Those are readily convertible into cash and not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. The recorded amounts for cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Due from related party – VitaNova Partners, LLC
As
of December 31, 2020, the Company has advanced funds to a related party, VitaNova Partners, LLC for a total of $

November 8, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase an approximately
The
land and structures were acquired from a related party entity and therefore, the land and structure value was transferred at historical
cost. Based on consideration paid, the Company recognized a loss of $
After
completing the above acquisitions, the Company commissioned an appraisal to be performed. This appraisal gave an “as-is”
estimate of value at $
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company has determined the deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of its position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributed to the Company’s common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period.
As of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company’s outstanding warrants were excluded from the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding since the warrants would be anti-dilutive.
| F-9 |
Accounting for Equity Raise
The Company recently sold common stock and warrants. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires the Company to first analyze the warrants to determine if the warrants are a liability or an equity instrument.
The warrants in the offering qualify as equity. The warrants do not obligate the Company to repurchase its shares by transferring an asset. The warrants do not obligate the Company to settle the warrants by issuing a variable number of shares if the monetary value of the obligation is based on a predetermined fixed amount, variation in something other than the issuers stock price, or variations inversely related to the issuers stock price. Therefore, since there is no obligation on behalf of the Company, the warrants have been classified as equity.
The next step is to determine the fair value of the equity unit. The Company’s offering does not meet any of the four areas of ASC 820-10-30-3A requiring a fair value calculation; therefore, fair value equals the actual transaction value. The next step is to compute the fair in order to determine the allocation of value between the common shares and the warrants issued (ASC 815). The Company performed this calculation which gave a value of 50% to the warrant and 50% to the common shares.
The following variables were used to calculate the warrant value:
| ● | Annualized
volatility of | |
| ● | Expected
life in years of | |
| ● | Discount
rate – bond equivalent (US Treasury |
The common share value was computed by evaluating each equity raise closing date to the Company’s market stock price to the price issue, which was $/share.
Accounting for debt to equity conversions
For
the quarter ending December 31, 2021, the Company issued bridge notes that contains a convertible. These notes mature on
In order to simplify, and provide less confusion, on accounting for debt with conversion options, FASB release ASU 2020-06 in August 2020.
ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. Therefore, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the debt with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and therefor will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost.

of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate

These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.
