Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, included herein, have been presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

 

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 100,000,000 common and 100,000,000 preferred membership units. As of March 31, 2022, VSP had 71,744,011 common units and 7,379,305 preferred units outstanding, representing a total of 79,153,316 units outstanding. The Company owns 44,209,020 of common units of VSP, which represent approximately 55.85% of the outstanding common units of VSP. Additionally, both the Company and VSP share common management. As a result, VSP is consolidated with the Company’s financial statements.

 

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.

 

Greenhouse and associated land

 

See Note 1 for information concerning land acquired by the Company.

 

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 $5,818,537 from this acquisition.

 

8

 

 

After completing the above acquisitions, the Company commissioned an appraisal to be performed. This appraisal gave an “as-is” estimate of value at $3,500,000, which included the greenhouse and infrastructure and land. Therefore, the Company recognized an impairment of $3,673,568.

 

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.

 

Loss per Share

 

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s outstanding warrants were excluded from the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding since the warrants would be anti-dilutive.

 

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 value 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.

 

9

 

 

The following variables were used to calculate the warrant value:

 

  Annualized volatility of 865%
  Expected life in years of 1.02
  Discount rate – bond equivalent (US Treasury 5-year coupon rate) of 0.37%

 

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 $0.01/share.

 

Accounting for debt to equity conversions

 

During the quarters ending December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the Company sold bridge notes which mature on June 30, 2022. On or before the maturity date, the notes can be converted into shares of the Company’s stock at a conversion price of $0.05/share. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s stock was priced at between $0.05 and $0.15/share.

 

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 ASU 2020-06 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 therefore will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost.

 

The Company has elected to adopt this standard during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Note 3 – Payment due to related parties for land and structure purchases

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company acquired from a related party approximately 118 contiguous acres located near the Arkansas River in Avondale, Colorado, for 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were issued on October 6, 2021, and $657,895 in cash to be paid by December 31, 2022.

 

The issuance of the 25,000,000 common shares is valued at the Company’s public market traded closing price of $0.20/share on August 17, 2021, or $5,000,000.

 

On November 8, 2021, the Company acquired from a related party approximately 39 contiguous acres located next to the 118 acres purchased above and a greenhouse and warehouse, for 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were issued on October 6, 2021, and $1,842,105 in cash to be paid by December 31, 2022.

 

The issuance of the 25,000,000 common shares is valued at the Company’s public market traded closing price of $0.155/share on October 6, 2021, or $10,850,000.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company has paid $448,925 toward cash amounts owing to the former owners of the land through the elimination of amounts owed from these parties to the Company.

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 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 totalling 157 acres in Pueblo County Colorado.

 

Parcel 1 - The Company issued 95,000,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to pay $2,368,421 by December 31, 2022, to GrowCo Partners 1, LLC for approximately 39 acres containing one fully completed 90,000 sq. ft. greenhouse, and one adjoining fully completed 15,000 sq. ft. warehouse. on the land. The shares were issued in book entry form on November 19, 2021. The cash amount will bear interest at 6% per year from August 17, 2021, until paid. The completed greenhouse and warehouse have not been in operation since 2020.
   
Parcel 2 - The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to pay $131, 579 by December 31, 2022, to GrowCo Partners 2, LLC for 39 acres of vacant land. The shares were issued in book entry form on November 29, 2021. The cash amount will bear interest at 6% per year from August 17, 2021, until paid.
   
Parcel 3 – The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to pay $131, 579 to GrowCo, Inc. by December 31, 2022, for 39 acres of vacant land. The shares were issued in book entry form on November 29, 2021. The cash amount will bear interest at 6% per year from August 17, 2021, until paid.
   
Parcel 4 - The Company issued 15,000,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to pay $394,737 by December 31, 2022, to GrowCo Partners 2, LLC for 39 acres of land with a partially completed greenhouse structure. The shares were issued in book entry form on November 29, 2021. The cash amount will bear interest at 6% per year from August 17, 2021, until paid.

 

On the land in southern Colorado the Company plans to:

 

retrofit the existing greenhouse and warehouse so that the equipment in the greenhouse and warehouse will run on solar power as opposed to utility provided electricity and propane. (Estimated cost: $9,500,000. Estimated time to complete: eight months) and build a solar system to power the greenhouse/ warehouse (Estimated cost: $3,000,000)
   
construct an additional 23 acres of greenhouse and associated warehouse space (Estimated cost: $45,500,000. Estimated time to complete: 36 months), and build solar systems to power the greenhouse and warehouse facilities (Estimated cost: $6,500,000)

 

The Company has a direct or indirect interest in the three entities listed above.

 

12

 

 

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, or lend any funds to the Company.

 

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® and WOW™ berries.

 

Results of Operations

 

For Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, there was no revenue nor direct cost of revenue.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $107,305 of general and administrative expenses, compared to $192,804 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of $85,499 is due to the Company reducing operating expenses during its development stage to conserve capital.

 

Interest expense was $49,003 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to no interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Interest expense was due to the Company’s sale of bridge notes and amounts due from asset acquisition during the last six months of its year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The minority share of the Company’s consolidate loss was $3,991 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. There was no minority share recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021, since the consolidated subsidiary, VitaNova Solar Partners, LLC did not exist during this time period.

 

The above produced a net loss of $152,317 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a loss of $192,804 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have begun our operations relying on external investors. Since inception and through March 31, 2022, we have raised $2,598,625in capital.

 

Our estimated capital requirements for the period ending December 31, 2022 are:

 

General and administrative expenses  $625,000 
Payments related to the purchase of land in southeastern Colorado (1)  $2,500,000 
Retrofit/expand existing greenhouses and warehouse (2)  $9,500,000 
Construction of solar system to power expanded greenhouse and warehouse  $3,000,000 

 

(1) See Footnote 3 of this report regarding payments we are required to make in connection with the purchase of these properties.

 

(2) Represents the costs to retrofit and expand an existing greenhouse and warehouse we acquired in southern Colorado.

 

13

 

 

The Company received preliminary approval from C-PACE, a Colorado specialized solar financing program developed by federal, state and county governments. The Company is in the process of developing the engineering necessary to complete the C-Pace financing application.

 

We believe with additional capital from third party investors we will have sufficient capital to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

 

To date we have only had limited revenue, which occurred the last six months of 2020 via a sublease of farming land. Therefore, presently operations are not sufficient to sustain our operations without the additional sources of capital. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $46,168. We used $101,826 in cash in our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

See Note 2 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our significant account policies.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the policy below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results from operations.

 

Impairment Policy. At least once every year, management examines all of our assets for proper valuation and to determine if an impairment is necessary. In terms of real estate owned, this impairment examination also includes accumulated depreciation. Management examines market valuations and if an additional impairment is necessary, an impairment charge is recorded.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and change in the market values of our real estate properties and water assets. Because we had no market risk sensitive instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2022, it was determined that there was no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as of such date. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, comprised of our chief executive officer (CEO), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, and taking the matters described below into account, the Company’s CEO has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective during reporting period ended March 31, 2022.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
