(A Development Stage Company)
CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
New Bastion Development, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 12, 1951 as Jetronic Industries, Inc. (Jetronic). Jetronic filed a voluntary Petition under Chapter 7 of Title 11, of the United States Code (Bankruptcy Code) on November 22, 2000. In February 2008, on behalf of New Bastion Development, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated on May 29, 2007, (New Bastion Florida), a representative of New Bastion Florida purchased the Jetronic corporate shell from the Chapter 7 Trustee pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.
On November 21, 2008, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement (the "Transaction" or "Share Exchange"), Jetronic acquired all of the outstanding common stock of New Bastion Florida in exchange for Jetronics common stock, par value $0.10 per share whereby New Bastion Florida shareholders received one common share of Jetronic for each two shares they held in New Bastion Florida. This transaction closed on December 29, 2008. The capitalization of Jetronic just subsequent to the exchange consists of 19,180,253 shares of common stock outstanding, of which Jetronics stockholders retain 9,677,834 shares of common stock, and New Bastion Florida's stockholders retain 9,502,419 shares of Common Stock. Additionally, all of the controlling shares of Jetronic Common Stock that was previously issued to New Bastion Florida by Jetronic were cancelled. New Bastion Florida's stockholders holding the 880 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall retain such shares until such time that Jetronics capital structure will enable it to issue 880 shares of comparable preferred stock. The Transaction was structured so as to qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Jetronic changed its name to New Bastion Development, Inc., effective February 2, 2009. This share exchange transaction is treated as a combination of entities under common control and recapitalization of New Bastion Florida with New Bastion Florida considered the historical issuer. New Bastion is deemed to have issued 9,677,834 common shares to the pre-share exchange stockholders of Jetronic. The consolidated financial statements subsequent to the share exchange consist of the balance sheet of both parent and subsidiary, the historical results of operations of New Bastion Florida, and the results of operations of Jetronic since the date it became under common control in March 2008.
On December 29, 2008, the Company changed its fiscal year end from January 31 to December 31 to conform to the fiscal year end of New Bastion Florida; and on February 2, 2009 the Company filed with the State of Pennsylvania articles of amendment to Jetronics articles of incorporation changing its name from Jetronic to New Bastion Development, Inc.
New Bastion Florida was formed for the purpose of exploiting local real estate opportunities in the Panama City Beach/Marianna, Florida area (the Panama City/Marianna area) located in Northwest Florida, which is the last major undeveloped area in Florida. The first post-9/11 airport, Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, broke ground on November 1, 2007 on 4,000 acres located in the Panama City/Marianna area that were donated by the St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE). The project was completed on May 23, 2010 and it serves as a gateway to Northwest Florida and its beautiful world-famous beaches. The airport serves Southwest Airlines and Delta Airlines, which together provide daily flights to key U.S. destinations, including cities serving as international gateways.
In September 2010, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, NB Regeneration, Inc., a Florida corporation (NB Regeneration) designed to pursue business opportunities relative to the construction of a facility and the production of nitrogen fertilizers used in the global agricultural market. In May 2011, NB Regeneration entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with United Advisory, a Panamanian corporation that was formed to own and construct an ammonia and urea facility in the Republic of Panama, in the Free trade Zone. Under the terms of the agreement certain financial partners will subscribe to United Advisory and contribute sufficient funds to complete construction of the Outer Battery Limits (OBL) which are estimated to cost between $300-$500 Million, and NB Regeneration has undertaken to arrange debt financing for the facility, supervise the development of construction, contract for feedstock and raw materials, market and sell the products from the operation of the facility, and to manage the facility's day to day operation upon completion. NB Regeneration shall receive a 51% interest in United Advisory and its financial partners shall receive a 49% interest. The Company is actively pursuing this project and expects to finalize all details and to sign a definitive agreement in 2012.
On August 25, 2011, the Company formed NB Medical, Inc. a new wholly-owned division, incorporated in the State of Florida for the purpose of exploring some business prospects in the medical and related fields.

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Companys Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for New Bastion Development, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Bastion Development, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company is presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage include organizing the business, raising capital and acquiring real estate properties or rights. The Company is a development stage company with no revenues and no profits. Since the Company has a limited operating history, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate the Companys performance and its prospects for achieving its intended business objectives. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $980,750 and $279,638, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and an accumulated deficit of $3,002,214 at September 30, 2011 and had no revenues. These matters raise substantial doubt about the companys ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to further implement its business plan, raise additional capital, and generate revenues. Currently, management is seeking capital to implement its business plan. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the 2011 and 2010 periods include assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the fair market value of real estate properties held for sale, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the value of stock-based compensation and fees.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash.
On November 9, 2010, the FDIC issued a Final Rule implementing section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that provides for unlimited insurance coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. Beginning December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the balance of the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions. The unlimited insurance coverage is available to all depositors, including consumers, businesses, and governmental entities. This unlimited insurance coverage is separate from, and in addition to, the insurance coverage provided to a depositors other deposit accounts held at an FDIC-insured institution. A noninterest-bearing transaction account is a deposit account where interest is neither accrued nor paid; depositors are permitted to make an unlimited number of transfers and withdrawals; and the bank does not reserve the right to require advance notice of an intended withdrawal.

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through September 30, 2011. There were no balances in excess of FDIC insured levels as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Geographic concentration of real estate inventories
All of the Companies real estate inventories are located in the Panama City Beach/Marianna, Florida area (the Panama City/Marianna Area) located in Northwest Florida.
Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
*
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
*
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
*
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes and mortgages payable, and amounts due to related party approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Mortgage and other notes payable carrying value approximate fair value based on the market interest rates under such notes. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.
Real estate inventories
Real estate inventories, consisting of 65 undeveloped plots of land and a 27 acre commercial parcel of land primarily in Jackson and Washington, Florida, are recorded at cost on the acquisition date which was based on the fair value of such property using a certified real estate appraisal if the consideration paid was the Companys common stock or the amount of cash paid. If the Company was to develop the properties, inventory costs may also include land development or home construction costs and interest related to development and construction. Construction overhead and selling expenses would be expensed as incurred.
Whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of its real estate by comparing the carrying amount with its fair value. The process involved in the determination of fair value requires estimates as to future events and market conditions. This estimation process may assume that the Company has the ability to complete development and dispose of its real estate properties in the ordinary course of business based on managements present plans and intentions. If management determines that the carrying value of a specific real estate investment is impaired, a write-down is recorded as a charge to current period operations. The evaluation process is based on estimates and assumptions and the ultimate outcome may be different. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded an impairment loss on the properties of $168,700 and $0, respectively.
Capitalization of interest and real estate taxes
Interest and real estate taxes attributable to land and property construction are capitalized and added to the cost of those properties while the properties are being actively developed. If properties are not being actively developed, such costs are expensed.

Property Rights
The Company records the purchase of property rights, an intangible asset, not purchased in a business combination, in accordance with ASC 350 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (as amended) Property rights generally enable the Company to control a property and participate in any profit from the future sale of such property. Property rights are recorded at net cost which is typically the appraised value of the property, less any mortgage notes balances due from the property owner, less estimated selling costs.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews, long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the assets estimated fair value and its book value. Other than the impairment of real estate inventories held for sale, the Company did not record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Companys specific revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Revenue from the sale of real estate is recognized in full (full accrual method) at the time the sale is closed and title is conveyed to the buyer if the profit is determinable, collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured (demonstrated by meeting minimum down payment and continuing investment requirements), the sellers receivable is not subject to future subordination, and the earnings process is virtually complete, such that the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale and does not have substantial continuing involvement with the sold property.
If the criteria for the full accrual method is not met then the revenue and profit is deferred using the deposit, cost recovery, reduced-profit, installment, or percentage of completion method of accounting, as appropriate depending upon the specific terms of the transaction.
When the Company has an obligation to complete improvements on property subsequent to the date of sale, it utilizes the percentage of completion method of accounting to record revenues and cost of sales. Under percentage of completion accounting, the Company recognizes revenues and costs of sales based upon the ratio of development costs completed as of the date of sale to an estimate of total development costs which will ultimately be incurred, including an estimate for common areas. Unearned revenues resulting from applying the percentage of completion accounting are reported as deferred revenue in the liabilities section of the balance sheet.
Income taxes
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the United States. The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes," 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 or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Under ASC Topic 740, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.
A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longermeet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50.
Advertising
Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising expense was $1,750 and $0, respectively.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any research and development activities.
Net loss per share of common stock
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Because the Company reported a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, any common stock equivalents, including stock options, warrants, and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and dilutive loss per share were the same. All potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Companys net losses and consisted of the following:
| September 30, |
| December 31, |
| 2011 |

The options each have a term of one year from the vesting date and have exercise prices of $0.50, $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 for each 500,000 that vest, respectively. The value of these options on the grant date was approximately $490,000 based upon the following range of Black-Scholes assumptions; exercise prices from $0.50 to $2.00, volatility from 372% to 448% using actual historical volatility, an expected term based on simplified method from 1 to 2.5 years and discount rate averaging 0.81% and is to be recognized in years one through four, respectively, approximately $121,000, $121,000, $123,000 and $125,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $82,248.

Memorandum Of Understanding
In May 2011, NB Regeneration entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with United Advisory, a Panamanian corporation that was formed to own and construct an ammonia and urea facility in the Republic of Panama, in the Free trade Zone. Under the terms of the agreement certain financial partners will subscribe to United Advisory and contribute sufficient funds to complete construction of the Outer Battery Limits (OBL) which are estimated to cost between $300-$500 Million, and NB Regeneration has undertaken to arrange debt financing for the facility, supervise the development of construction, contract for feedstock and raw materials, market and sell the products from the operation of the facility, and to manage the facility's day to day operation upon completion. NBR shall receive a 51% interest in United Advisory and its financial partners shall receive a 49% interest. Both parties to the MOU are currently waiting for the Panamanian government to legally recognize the Pan American Economic Industrial Free-Trade Zone (PEIZ) to finalize and formalize its transaction. As there can be no assurances that such action shall ever occur, the Company has decided to explore the pursuit of an alternative location of the facility in the Colon, Free Trade Zone (CFTZ) in the Republic of Panama.
BP Oil Spill
In May 2011 the Company filed a claim with the Gulf Coast Claim Facility (GCCF) for profits lost that resulted from the BP/Deep Horizon oil spill that occurred on April 23, 2010. In its claim the Company alleges that it suffered significant economic losses as a direct result of the oil spill. The GCCF has conditionally denied the Companys claim pending the submission, by the Company, of further documentation. In August 2011 pursuant to GCCFs request, the Company provided the requested documentation. Subsequent to providing additional documentation, the Companys claim was denied. BP is currently negotiating a settlement with a class of most private economic damage and medical claims plaintiffs estimated to be approximately $7.8 billion. The Company, and is currently waiting for that process to be completed prior to determining the best course of action to pursue its claims.
NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Item 2.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Plan of Operations
Currently, through our subsidiary, New Bastion Florida we own real estate inventories, consisting of 65 undeveloped plots of land and a 27 acre commercial parcel located primarily in Jackson County and Washington County, Florida. The land plots are primarily located in the Panama City Beach/Marianna, Florida area (the Panama City/Marianna area) located in Northwest Florida, which is the last major undeveloped area in Florida. The first post-9/11 airport, Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, broke ground on November 1, 2007 on 4,000 acres located in the Panama City/Marianna area. The project was completed on May 23, 2010 and it serves as a gateway to Northwest Florida and its beautiful world-famous beaches. The airport serves Southwest Airlines and Delta Airlines, which together provide daily flights to key U.S. destinations, including cities serving as international gateways. In April 2010, Northwest Florida was negatively impacted by the BP/Deep Horizon oil spill. This environmental disaster had a negative impact on both tourism and real estate values. Further, given the use of dangerous dispersants on a 1:1 basis, as spilled oil, it is unclear as to the ultimate effect that this spill and its cleanup efforts, will have on the environment, the food chain, and the health of area residents. As a result, the Company has decided to delay any development and future purchases until the lasting effects from the spill can be determined with more certainty.
In September 2010, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, NB Regeneration, Inc., a Florida corporation (NB Regeneration), designed to pursue business opportunities relative to the construction of a facility and the production of nitrogen fertilizers used in the global agricultural market. In May 2011, NB Regeneration entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with United Advisory, a Panamanian corporation that was formed to own and construct an ammonia and urea facility in the Republic of Panama, in the Free trade Zone. Under the terms of the agreement certain financial partners will subscribe to United Advisory and contribute sufficient funds to complete construction of the Outer Battery Limits (OBL) which are estimated to cost between $300-$500 Million, and NB Regeneration has undertaken to arrange debt financing for the facility, supervise the development of construction, contract for feedstock and raw materials, market and sell the products from the operation of the facility, and to manage the facility's day to day operation upon completion. NBR shall receive a 51% interest in United Advisory and its financial partners shall receive a 49% interest.
Both parties to the MOU are currently waiting for the Panamanian government to legally recognize the Pan American Economic Industrial Free-Trade Zone (PEIZ) to finalize and formalize its transaction. As there can be no assurances that such action shall ever occur, the Company has decided to explore the pursuit of an alternative location of the facility in the Colon, Free Trade Zone (CFTZ) in the Republic of Panama. To that end, in February 2012 the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with CH2M Hill for the performance of various engineering services by CH2 relative to the Companys potential development of a nitrogen fertilizer facility in the CFTZ.
Limited Operating History
We have generated limited financial history and have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
19
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to real estate inventory fair values, recovery of long-lived assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the value of stock-based compensation and fees and other equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Real estate inventories
Real estate inventories, consisting of 65 undeveloped plots and a 27 acre commercial parcel of land located primarily in Jackson County and Washington County, Florida, are recorded at cost on the acquisition date which was based on the fair value of such property using a certified real estate appraisal if the consideration paid was our common stock or the amount of cash paid. If we were to develop the properties, inventory costs may also include land development or home construction costs and interest related to development and construction. Construction overhead and selling expenses would be expensed as incurred.
Whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of its real estate by comparing the carrying amount with its fair value. The process involved in the determination of fair value requires estimates as to future events and market conditions. This estimation process may assume that the Company has the ability to complete development and dispose of its real estate properties in the ordinary course of business based on managements present plans and intentions. If management determines that the carrying value of a specific real estate investment is impaired, a write-down is recorded as a charge to current period operations. The evaluation process is based on estimates and assumptions and the ultimate outcome may be different. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded an impairment loss on the properties of $168,700 and $0, respectively.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, we review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the assets estimated fair value and its book value. We did not record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
We account for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. We account for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
Results of Operations
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenues
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not recognize any revenues.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, property taxes related to our undeveloped land increased by $265 and $796, respectively, and was attributable to the accrual of penalties and interest on unpaid real estate taxes offset by a reduction in real estate taxes incurred due to a decrease in the taxable values of the properties as determined by the respective countrys property appraisers office.
*
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded an impairment loss related to the reduction of the fair values of our real estate inventories which consists of undeveloped land. Whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of its real estate by comparing the carrying amount with its fair value. We compared the carrying value of our properties to the taxable value determined by the respective property appraisers tax bill and accordingly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded an impairment loss on the properties of $168,700.
*
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compensation and related benefits amounted to $394,434 and $588,600, respectively, as compared none for the same periods in 2010. During 2011, we entered into employment agreements with our chief executive officer and the chief executive officer of our subsidiary, NB Regeneration. Pursuant to the employment agreements, we issued common stock and/or stock options to these employees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded stock-based compensation of $327,534 and $399,200, respectively, We expect compensation and related benefits to increase as we continue to implement our business plan.
*
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, professional fees amounted to $196,194 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, professional fees amounted to $58.496 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2010. We expect professional fees to increase as we incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and implement our business plan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred consulting fees of $7,380 and $118,540 related to the development of business opportunities related to the construction of a facility and the production of nitrogen fertilizers used in the global agricultural market.
*
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses increased by $25,530 or 103.2% as compared to the same period in 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses increased by $5,703 or 50.5% as compared to the same period in 2010. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the increase in general and administrative expenses primarily related to an increase in travel expenses incurred for the development of or NB Regeneration business. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in the future at such time as we further implement of our business plan.
Other Income (Expense)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded interest expense of $51,099 and $108,350, respectively, related to our notes and convertible notes payable. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded interest expense of $37,889 and $19,112, respectively, related to our notes and convertible notes payable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded additional default interest expense of $27,155, respectively, related to a note payable in default.
21
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded interest expense of $14,102 and $95,174 related to the amortization of previously recorded debt discount, respectively. We did not record such amortization in the 2011 periods. Additionally, in September 2011, in connection with the extinguishment of convertible notes payable, we recorded a gain on the extinguishment of such debt of $96,601.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors described above, our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $980,750 and $154,781, respectively. Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $418,709 and $37,634, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. To date, we have funded our operations through the sale of our common stock.
Our primary uses of cash have been for salaries and for the payment of fees to third parties for the development of our business plan primarily to pursue business opportunities related to the construction of a facility and the production of nitrogen fertilizers used in the global agricultural market. In May 2011, NB Regeneration entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with United Advisory, a Panamanian corporation that was formed to own and construct an ammonia and urea facility in the Republic of Panama, in the Free trade Zone. Under the terms of the agreement certain financial partners will subscribe to United Advisory and contribute sufficient funds to complete construction of the Outer Battery Limits (OBL) which are estimated to cost between $300-$500 Million, and NB Regeneration has undertaken to arrange debt financing for the facility, supervise the development of construction, contract for feedstock and raw materials, market and sell the products from the operation of the facility, and to manage the facility's day to day operation upon completion. NBR shall receive a 51% interest in United Advisory and its financial partners shall receive a 49% interest. Both parties to the MOU are currently waiting for the Panamanian government to legally recognize the Pan American Economic Industrial Free-Trade Zone (PEIZ) to finalize and formalize its transaction. As there can be no assurances that such action shall ever occur, the Company has decided to explore the pursuit of an alternative location of the facility in the Colon, Free Trade Zone (CFTZ) in the Republic of Panama. To that end, in February 2012, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with CH2M Hill for the performance of various engineering services by CH2 relative to the Companys potential development of a nitrogen fertilizer facility in the CFTZ.
The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:
*
An increase in working capital requirements to finance additional business development,
*
Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,
*
Increases in public relations and professional fees to develop our business plan as we attempt to enters new markets,
*
The cost of being a public company, and
*
Capital expenditures for the construction of an ammonia and urea facility in Panama.
Our net revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. At September 30, 2011, we had a cash balance of $13,058.
In March 2011, we initiated a $250,000 offering at $0.25 per unit pursuant to Regulation D. Proceeds from this offering were $230,000, and we issued 920,000 shares of its common stock, A warrants to purchase 460,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50, expiring six months following the purchase date and B warrants to purchase 460,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00, expiring 9 months following purchase date to five investors. On July 29, 2011, in an effort to induce its warrant holders to exercise their $0.50 A warrants (the Warrants Inducement), we offered to extend the term of the outstanding $1.00 B warrants by three months and to reduce the exercise price to $0.50 for every $0.50 A warrant exercised. Through September 30, 2011, A warrants have been exercised for 110,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of $55,000.
22
Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we received advances from our CEO of $21,000 and repaid $21,150 of these advances.
These funds were used to working capital purposes. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. We presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We do not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, grow our company, and to develop our business plan. We do not anticipate we will be profitable in 2012. Therefore our future operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.
In March of 2012, we initiated a $1,000,000 offering at $0.05 per share pursuant to Regulation D. On March 29, 2012, we received proceeds from this offering of $20,000 and we issued 400,000 shares of our common stock
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern on their audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.
Operating activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $279,638 and $29,194, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in operations of $279,638 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $980,750 offset by the add back of non-cash items such as stock based compensation of $412,536, an impairment of real estate inventories of $168,700, and a gain on extinguishment of convertible debt of $96,601, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $211,799. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operation of $29,194 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $154,781 offset by the add back of non-cash interest expense of $95,174 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $30,413.
Financing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 net cash flows provided by financing activities was $276,850 and $31,761, respectively. In the 2011 period, we received proceeds from the sale of common stock of $230,000 and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $55,000 and paid $8,000 of notes payable and net payments on related party advances of $150. In the 2010 period, we received proceeds from notes payable of $30,000 and net proceeds from advances from related party of $4,261 and repaid notes of $2,500.
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2011 the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective, in that they do not provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and is not accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 3.
Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
On September 2, 2011, we entered into an agreement with the holder of a convertible promissory note that was in default to extinguish the total debt outstanding of $67,402, including accrued interest. Under the terms of the original agreement, the holder was able to convert the promissory note and interest at $0.0125 per share up to 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Companys common stock. The holder agreed to receive 1,600,000 shares of the Companys common stock and $8,000 as complete settlement for the convertible promissory note. The shares received by the holder are subject to a sales restriction agreement that prohibits the sale, transfer and hypothecation of the subject shares for a twenty-four (24) month period.
On September 19, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the holder of a convertible promissory note to extinguish the total debt outstanding of $29,199, including accrued interest. Under the terms of the original agreement, the holder was able to convert the promissory note and interest at $0.0125 per share up to 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Companys common stock. The holder agreed to receive 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock as complete settlement for the convertible promissory note. The fair market value of these shares was $250,000 ($0.25 per share based on recent private placement sales) and the reacquisition value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of this note on the settlement date is $554,774, which is the total outstanding amount of $29,199 at the original convertible price per share for 2,335,890 shares at the intrinsic price $0.2375 per share. A gain of $333,973 was recognized on the debt extinguishment. The shares received by the holder are subject to a sales restriction agreement that prohibits the sale, transfer and hypothecation of the subject shares for a twenty-four (24) month period.
In April 2009, the Company borrowed $72,500 issued a secured promissory note to a third party, which was due on demand after November 1, 2009 with interest accruing at 9.75% per annum. In October 2010, the note holder sued our Company, inter alia, for the alleged breach of the promissory note in the amount of $72,500 plus interest, court costs and attorneys fees. On March 20, 2012, the note holder received a Final Judgment of Foreclosure in the amount of $150,853.32 and the collateral security is scheduled to be sold at a public auction on April 19, 2012 to the highest bidder.
