FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report on Form 10-Q of Cullen Agricultural Holding Corp., and the information incorporated by reference in it, include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). References in this report to “we,” “us”, “our company” or “the Company” refer to Cullen Agricultural Holding Corp.

Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this report may include, for example, statements about:

 
·
Our ability to protect our intellectual property;
 
 
·
Our ability to obtain necessary financing to enable us to implement our business plan;
 
 
·
Competition;
 
 
·
Loss of key personnel;
 
 
·
Increases of costs of operations;
 
 
·
Continued compliance with government regulations; and
 
 
·
General economic conditions.

The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in this Quarterly Report in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2011 in the section entitled "Risk Factors." Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.    Interim Financial Information, Organization, Business Operations, Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern Consideration

Basis of Presentation

Cullen Agricultural Holding Corp.’s (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. In addition, the December 31, 2010 balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

We are a development stage company and to date have not generated any revenue. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes there to for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed on March 25, 2011. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in the December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements.

Organization and Nature of Operations

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on August 27, 2009.  We were formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Triplecrown Acquisition Corp. (“Triplecrown”), a blank check company.  CAT Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Georgia corporation, was incorporated as our wholly-owned subsidiary on August 31, 2009.  We were formed in order to allow Triplecrown to complete a business combination (the “Merger”) with Cullen Agricultural Technologies, Inc. (“Cullen Agritech”), as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 4, 2009, as amended, among Triplecrown, the Company, Merger Sub, Cullen Agritech and Cullen Inc. Holdings Ltd. (“Cullen Holdings”).  Cullen Agritech was formed on June 3, 2009.  Cullen Agritech’s primary operations are conducted through Natural Dairy Inc. (“Natural Dairy”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cullen Agritech.  Cullen Holdings is an entity controlled by Eric J. Watson, our Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Chairman of the Board and Treasurer and, prior to the Merger, was the holder of all of the outstanding common stock of Cullen Agritech.

Pursuant to the Merger, (i) Triplecrown merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving as the new publicly-traded corporation and (ii) Merger Sub merged with and into Cullen Agritech with Cullen Agritech surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  As a result of the Merger, the former security holders of Triplecrown and Cullen Agritech became the security holders of the Company.  Thus, the Company became a holding company, operating through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cullen Agritech.  The Merger was consummated on October 22, 2009.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Interim Financial Information, Organization, Business Operations, Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern Consideration, continued
 
Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cullen Agritech, including its wholly owned subsidiary, Natural Dairy. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity and Going Concern Consideration
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Company is a development stage company and has incurred a net loss of $4,548,492 for the period from June 3, 2009 (inception) through September 30, 2011, and has $603,142 of cash as of September 30, 2011. Additionally, upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company issued to Cullen Holdings a promissory note in the amount of $6,853,918, representing part of the purchase price of a certain piece of land to be used by the Company following the closing (see Note 3 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements). This amount was to be repaid to Cullen Holdings at the consummation of the Merger but sufficient funds were not available.  The parties subsequently amended the terms of the promissory note to extend the maturity date to January 20, 2012.  In addition, on April 6, 2011, Cullen Holdings advanced the Company an additional $100,000 under the same terms as the outstanding mortgage payable currently held by Cullen Holdings.  As a result of the $100,000 advance, the Company issued an amended and restated promissory note of $693,629. This note was repaid by the Company in August 2011 (see Note 3).
 
To date, we have not generated any revenue and will not do so until we have sufficient funds to implement our business plan. We have been in the process of attempting to obtain land development financing backed by the property we own and operate to support our working capital needs and implement our business plan.  However, due to the recent performance of similar types of farming operations in the Southeast United States, as well as the general economic downturn, financial institutions have been unwilling to provide such financing.  As a result, the Company has been unable to obtain the necessary funding to support the implementation of its business plan at this time. In order to continue to support its working capital needs and retire certain of its outstanding debt, during 2010, the Company entered into contracts with unrelated third parties for the sale of approximately 2,000 acres or approximately 56% of the land the Company originally purchased. An unrelated third party is also obligated to purchase approximately 1,035 acres by December 31, 2011 for a purchase price of $1,600,000. The Company continues to explore the disposition of the remaining 79 acres it owns, which is not under contract. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts or that the outstanding contracts will be consummated (see Note 4).

Additionally, the Company is in the process of exploring all financing and strategic alternatives available to it, including those unrelated to forage and animal sciences and farming systems which make up its current business plan in an effort to maximize shareholder value.  To this end, the Company has had preliminary discussions with potential merger candidates wishing to become publicly traded.  However, such discussions are only preliminary and no formal terms have been discussed or agreed to.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any of such efforts.  If the Company is unable to secure additional financing or find another alternative, the Company will not have sufficient capital to implement its business plan and may be forced to suspend all operations until such time as capital or another alternative is available to it.  Until such time where the Company can dispose of the remaining land it currently owns or raise adequate financing to deploy its pasture based dairy and beef business plan, it has begun to utilize its pasture and general farming expertise to conduct various farming activities on the property. This activity includes, but is not limited to, the growing of pasture to raise calves.  The Company has sold portions of its unused land (as indicated above), reduced salaries paid to its employees and curtailed operations in order to raise capital and reduce operating expenses.
 
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Cattle Held for Sale
 
Crops used to develop the Company's animals are capitalized as part of the carrying value of such animal and included in cattle held for sale on the condensed consolidated interim balance sheet. In addition, cattle held for sale is stated at lower of cost or market.
 
Inventory

Inventory consists of feed inventory and investment in crops that are stated at lower of cost or market.  The Company capitalizes all direct and indirect costs until growing crops are harvested.  Harvested crops are reclassified to feed inventory until such crops are sold or used.  The related inventoried costs are recognized as cost of sale to provide an appropriate matching of expenses with the related revenue earned when the crops are sold.  Crops used to develop the Company’s animals are capitalized as part of the carrying value of such animal and are recognized as cost of sale when the animals are sold.  Feed inventory and investment in crops both amounted to $0 as of September 30, 2011, and $7,677 and $17,325, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These classifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

Note 1.  Interim Financial Information, Organization, Business Operations, Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern Consideration, continued

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with   Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Plant, Property and Equipment,” for purposes of determining and measuring impairment of its long-lived assets other than goodwill. The Company’s policy is to review the value assigned to its long lived assets to determine if they have been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which may affect the Company whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If the Company identifies a permanent impairment such that the carrying amount of the Company’s long lived assets is not recoverable using the sum of an undiscounted cash flow projection, the impaired asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value, based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows which becomes the new cost basis for the impaired asset.  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate undiscounted future operating cash flows and fair values and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.

Loss Per Share

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”). In accordance with ASC 260, earnings per common share amounts (“Basic EPS”) are computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Earnings per common share amounts, assuming dilution (“Diluted EPS”), gives effect to dilutive options, warrants, and other potential common stock outstanding during the period. ASC 260 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations. The effect of the Merger has been given retroactive application in the EPS calculation. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were 74,000,000 warrants outstanding that were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because the effects of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding warrants using the “treasury stock method.”

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management's opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Georgia as "major" tax jurisdictions. Based on the Company's evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on June 3, 2009, the evaluation was performed for the 2009 and 2010 tax year. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position or results of operations.

Note 3.  Mortgage Payable – Related Party
 
In connection with the Merger, Triplecrown and Natural Dairy entered into a contract to purchase a certain piece of land to be used by us following consummation of the Merger. The total purchase price of the land was $8,662,500. Triplecrown paid an initial deposit of $866,250 on the land. On August 10, 2009, Triplecrown, Natural Dairy and the seller of the land extended the closing date for the land purchase and Triplecrown paid an additional deposit on the land of $833,750, interest of $48,070 and a leasing fee to use the land of $3,518 for a total additional deposit of $885,338.  Natural Dairy closed on this contract and purchased the land on October 16, 2009.  The balance of the purchase price for such land was paid by Natural Dairy, which funds were advanced to it by Cullen Holdings.  Upon the closing, we issued to Cullen Holdings a promissory note in the amount of $6,853,918, representing the part of the purchase price that was advanced by Cullen Holdings. This amount was to be repaid to Cullen Holdings at the closing but sufficient funds were not available.  On March 30, 2010, the Company issued a new note in replacement of the existing note which was past due. The amended promissory note was in the amount of $5,066,985 and accrued interest at 8% per annum and was due on January 20, 2011. In consideration of this extension, the Company granted to Cullen Holdings a mortgage on the land that is the subject of the promissory note. On March 2, 2011, the parties further amended the terms of the promissory note to extend the maturity date to January 20, 2012.  On April 6, 2011, Cullen Holdings loaned the Company an additional $100,000 and as a result, the Company issued an amended and restated promissory note of $693,629. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from June 3, 2009 (inception) through September 30, 2011, we incurred interest expense of $6,081, $82,079, $31,494, and $282,849 and $456,135 respectively, related to this note. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 mortgage payable to a related party was $0 and $593,629.
 
Note 4. Deposit on Sale of Land

On April 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Sales Contract (“Agreement”) with Wilbert Roller, Jr. (“Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company will sell to Buyer approximately 1,035 acres of land for approximately $1,625,000, of which $100,000 was paid on signing and the balance is due on closing of the transaction.  It is anticipated that the closing of the purchase will take place on or before December 31, 2011.  The Company has also agreed to lease the land to the Buyer until December 31, 2011 for $50,000.

Litigation
 
The Company is not party to any litigation.  On December 9, 2009, a second amended class action complaint, styled Goodman v. Watson, et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the former directors of Triplecrown.  The complaint alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and their duty of disclosure in connection with the Merger.  The plaintiff sought, as an alternative remedy, damages in the amount of approximately $9.74 per share, to have Triplecrown’s trust account restored and distributed pro rata to members of the putative class, a quasi-appraisal remedy for members of the putative class, and an opportunity for members of the putative class to exercise conversion rights in connection with the Merger.  The defendants filed an answer on December 23, 2009. On January 18, 2011, the Company and the former directors entered into a stipulation of settlement with the plaintiff.  Following notice, on April 5, 2011, the Court held a hearing at which it, among other things,  certified the proposed class and approved the settlement.   The order approving the settlement was entered on April 5, 2011. Pursuant to the settlement approved by the Court, the class action will be resolved, and all claims will be dismissed with prejudice, in exchange for an aggregate payment to the class of up to $1.4 million, of which up to $550,000 will be paid by the Company and the balance will be paid by our insurance carrier. Following the notice, on April 5, 2011, the Court of Chancery held a hearing at which it, among other things, certified the proposed class and approved the Stipulation.  Members of the putative class had until June 30, 2011 to participate in the settlement.  At June 30, 2011, holders (or former holders) of approximately 93,000 shares properly sought to participate in the settlement.  The Company’s insurance carrier paid the entire amount owed to these holders, resulting in no out of pocket liability to the Company for the settlement. The Company had accrued a loss of $550,000 at December 31, 2010, which represented management’s estimate of the Company’s exposure in connection with the litigation at that time.  Due to the fact that the insurance company paid the entire amount to participants of the settlement, the Company reversed the accrual of $550,000. The insurance company paid $850,000 to an escrow account to be used to pay the participants of the settlement. On July 13, 2011, the Company was notified that the actual amount paid to the participants in the settlement was $778,652 and that the remaining $71,348 would be remitted to the Company. On July 19, 2011 the Company received $71,348 which is recorded as legal settlement recovery during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Note 8.  Subsequent Events
 
On November 9, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Hart, a related party, for the sale of all 342 of the Company’s cattle for $436,950.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, closing is expected to occur by December 31, 2011 and the contract may be cancelled by notification in writing without penalty to either party.

The Company evaluates events that occurred after the balance sheet date but before the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, except as noted above, the Company did not identify any recognized or non recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.

Overview

We are a development stage company. We conduct our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cullen Agricultural Technologies Inc. (“Cullen Agritech”). Cullen Agritech conducts its operations primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Natural Dairy Inc. (“Natural Dairy”). To date, we have not generated any revenue and will not do so until we have sufficient funds to implement our business plan described below.

Our principal focus is to use our intellectual property in forage and animal sciences to improve agricultural yields. The Company was formed to develop, adapt and implement grazing-based farming systems in regions of the world where the geophysical and climatic conditions are suitable for a pasture-based model. While the potential for the pasture or grazing model is significant in many of the world’s developed and developing economies, the systems are highly specific and require significant adaptation and modification to be successful. We have identified the global dairy industry as a primary opportunity in which our systems can be applied to improve yields on land and drive cost-base efficiencies. We believe that cost savings of up to 40-50% are achievable in the long term. Further, we believe the high cost structure, which is employed by over 95% of milk producers in the U.S. and supported by government subsidies, will help to maintain a floor to milk prices in the U.S. and provide us with long term margin protection. By having direct access to a domestic market, we believe our business plan provides a unique opportunity to invest directly into food production while limiting earnings volatility linked to foreign exchange exposure, typically associated with returns from commodity production in exporting countries, such as New Zealand. In addition, we believe the potential opportunity to vertically integrate, while maintaining control of the supply chain, provides a further opportunity to reduce volatility and maximize profitability.

We were incorporated in Delaware on August 27, 2009.  We were formed in order to allow Triplecrown Acquisition Corp. (“Triplecrown”), a blank check company, to complete a business combination (the “Merger”) with Cullen Agritech, as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of September 4, 2009, as amended, among us, Triplecrown, CAT Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Cullen Agritech and Cullen Inc. Holdings Ltd. (“Cullen Holdings”). Prior to the Merger, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Triplecrown, Merger Sub was our wholly owned subsidiary and Cullen Holdings was the sole stockholder of Cullen Agritech. Pursuant to the Merger, (i) Triplecrown merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving as the new publicly-traded corporation and (ii) Merger Sub merged with and into Cullen Agritech with Cullen Agritech surviving as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of the Merger, the former security holders of Triplecrown and Cullen Agritech became our security holders and we became a public holding company, operating through Cullen Agritech. The Merger is more fully described in our December 31, 2010 report on Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2011.

Strategic Alternatives
 
We have been in the process of attempting to obtain land development financing backed by the property we own and operate to support our working capital needs and implement our business plan. However, due to the recent performance of similar types of farming operations in the region, as well as the general economic downturn, financial institutions have been unwilling to provide such financing. As a result, we have been unable to obtain the necessary funding to support the implementation of our business plan at this time. Accordingly, we are in the process of exploring all financing and strategic alternatives available to us, including the possibility of disposing of or leasing portions of our land in order to continue to support our working capital needs and retire certain of our outstanding debt to reduce our interest obligations. During 2010, we entered into contracts with unrelated third parties for the sale of approximately 2,000 acres or approximately 56% of the land we originally purchased. An unrelated third party is obligated to purchase 1,035 acres by December 31, 2011.  However, there is no assurance that the outstanding contracts will be consummated by the Buyers.

We continue to explore the disposition of the remaining 79 acres we own and not under contract to sell. Additionally, we have reduced salary expense and curtailed operations in order to reduce operating expenses. We will also look to explore alternative opportunities available to us unrelated to forage and animal sciences and farming systems which makes up our current business plan in an effort to maximize shareholder value. To this end, we have had preliminary discussions with potential merger candidates wishing to become publicly traded. However, such discussions are only preliminary and no formal terms have been discussed or agreed to. There is no assurance that we will be successful in such efforts. If we are unable to secure additional financing or find another alternative, we will not have sufficient capital to implement our business plan and may be forced to suspend all operations until such time as capital or another alternative is available to us.
 
Until such time where we can dispose of the remaining land we currently own or raise adequate financing to deploy our pasture based dairy and beef business plan, we have leased and performed various farming activities on the land. We are also considering utilizing a portion of the land for the production of pasture-finished beef products. Grass-fed beef has been proven to be better for your health, better for the environment and promotes improved animal ethics. As a result, there is a rapidly growing market for grass-fed beef products in the U.S., which at the retail levels can sell for a 50-100% premium over grain-fed beef. We believe the existing supply-chain infrastructure would provide us with immediate access to sell into the grass-fed market.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

We are a development stage company. Since October 22, 2009, our activities have been primarily focused on raising capital to fund our business plan and the sale of land to meet our working capital requirements and repay our outstanding debt. Prior to October 22, 2009 we and our wholly-owned subsidiary were “shell companies” and conducted no business operations and did not own or lease any real estate or other property. Our activities during this time were limited to our organization, the preparation and filing with the SEC of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 and other matters related to the Merger. To date, we have not generated any revenue.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had net loss of $47,002 and $1,303,496, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the period from June 3, 2009 (inception) through September 30, 2011, we did not have any sources of revenue and incurred a net loss of $4,548,492. As of September 30, 2011, we had $603,142 available cash and a working capital of $835,133.
 
Upon the closing of the Merger, we issued to Cullen Holdings a promissory note in the amount of $6,853,918, representing part of the purchase price of a certain piece of land to be used by us following the closing (see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The note was to be repaid as soon as practicable but no later than January 20, 2010 (90 days from the date of issuance). It was intended that the note would be repaid to Cullen Holdings at closing of the Merger but sufficient funds were not available. On March 30, 2010, Cullen Holdings agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to January 20, 2011. In consideration of this extension, the Company granted to Cullen Holdings a mortgage on certain land we own. On March 2, 2011, Cullen Holdings agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to January 20, 2012. In addition, on April 6, 2011, Cullen Holdings loaned the Company $100,000 under the same terms as the outstanding mortgage payable currently held by Cullen Holdings.  As a result of the $100,000 loan, the Company issued an amended and restated promissory note of $693,629.  All amounts remaining amount under the note was repaid in August 2011. Cullen Holdings is an affiliate of Eric J. Watson, our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, and is the holder of approximately 57% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

On April 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Sales Contract (“Agreement”) with Wilbert Roller, Jr. (“Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company will sell to Buyer approximately 1,035 acres of land for approximately $1,625,000, of which $100,000 was paid on signing and the balance is due on closing of the transaction.  It is anticipated that the closing of the purchase will take place on or before December 31, 2011.  The Company has also agreed to lease the land to the Buyer until December 31, 2011 for $50,000.

As more fully described above in the section entitled “Strategic Alternatives,” we have been in the process of attempting to obtain land development financing secured by the property we own and operate to support our working capital needs and implement our business plan. However, due to the recent performance of farming operations in the Southeastern United States, as well as the general economic downturn, financial institutions have been unwilling to provide such financing. As a result, we have been unable to obtain the necessary funding to support the implementation of our business plan at this time. Accordingly, we are in the process of exploring all financing and strategic alternatives available to us. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in such efforts. If we are unable to secure additional debt or equity financing or find another alternative, our funds may not be sufficient to execute our business plan or satisfy our liabilities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or acquired any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations
 
On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Hart Acquisitions LLC (“Hart”), an affiliate of one of our directors, for the lease of 120 acres of the Company’s property, from January 1, 2011 through August 31, 2011. This area of land consists of 100 irrigated acres and 20 non irrigated acres. The agreement calls for Hart to pay, in advance, $117 per acre of irrigated land and $33 per acre of non irrigated land. The Company has received $12,360 for the lease of this land.

On April 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Sales Contract (“Agreement”) with Wilbert Roller, Jr. (“Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company will sell to Buyer approximately 1,035 acres of land for approximately $1,625,000, of which $100,000 was paid on signing and the balance is due on closing of the transaction.  The purchase price approximates the carry value of the land as of September 30, 2011. It is anticipated that the closing of the purchase will take place on or before December 31, 2011.  The Company has also agreed to lease the land to the Buyer until December 31, 2011 for $50,000.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. However certain accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgments by management. In applying those policies, management used its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in determination of certain estimates. Our accounting policy will be to use estimates based on terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. 

See Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in Item 1. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and treasurer (our principal executive and principal financial and accounting officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of September 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
