PART I

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: NO ASSURANCES INTENDED

In addition to historical information, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements, which are generally identifiable by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans to,” “estimates,” “projects,” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements represent Management’s belief as to the future of PanAm Terra, Inc.  Whether those beliefs become reality will depend on many factors that are not under Management’s control.  Many risks and uncertainties exist that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Section 1A of this Report, entitled “Risk Factors.” Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.

ITEM 1.          BUSINESS

PanAm Terra, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a Nevada corporation in 2001 under the name “Bellweather Corporation.”  It subsequently changed its name to “Ascentia Biomedical Corporation” and undertook to engage in biomedical research and development activities.  In 2006 the Company acquired a secure cable infrastructure system installations business and changed its name to “Duncan Technology Group.”  The Company terminated operations in 2007 and was dormant until 2010, when current management began to develop the business plan described in this Annual Report.  To reflect that business plan, the name of the Company was changed to “PanAm Terra, Inc.” in April 2011.

Our current business plan contemplates that we will function as an agricultural asset management  company by acquiring, leasing and controlling approximately 20,000 hectares of farmland in Latin America, with an initial focus primarily in Uruguay and Brazil and secondarily in Peru, Columbia, Chile and Paraguay.  The acquired farmland is anticipated to be utilized for permanent crops that can be readily transported to countries that cannot produce sufficient staples at a competitive cost, such as China, Korea and the countries of Eastern Europe. Our initial plans are (i) to acquire existing farmland from farmers as real estate investments and (ii) to lease back the land to the selling farmer or an independent operator, thereby providing investors a current yield through rental income as well as participating in the long term asset appreciation.    In particular, the Company is focused on high quality arable land with water assets and good infrastructure access. To date, however, the Company has acquired no farmland nor identified any specific parcel of land that it will acquire, as we will need to secure adequate funding before we can commence our acquisition program.  Currently, the Company’s operations consist of developing the relationships in Latin America that will be necessary for our business and developing relationships with potential funding sources.  It should be noted, moreover, that none of the officers or directors of the Company has significant experience in acquiring or managing farmland.  We will depend, therefore, on the team of local agents that we assemble to assist in our acquisition efforts and manage the farmland that we acquire.  We have not yet fully assembled that team.

The Global Agricultural Market

We expect the market for agricultural commodities to be characterized by increasing demand at the same time that growth in the supply of arable land is significantly constrained.  World demand for agricultural commodities is rapidly increasing as a result of (i) population growth, (ii) demand in developing countries for a more resource intensive diet with additional protein, and (iii) the emergence of biofuels.  Yet on the supply side, it is becoming increasingly challenging to keep up with rising demand due to pressures on existing production, fundamental limits on growth in agricultural production, and climate change.
 
Per capita production of grain has been in decline since the mid-1980s and per capita availability of agricultural land since well before then1. In 2008 this state of affairs culminated in the lowest global grain stocks in over 40 years and the most pronounced increase in agricultural commodity prices on record2.  After a downward correction in grain prices during the second half of 2008, they resumed their upward trend despite the worst global recession in two generations.  Agricultural prices are now approaching, or exceeding, the 2008 high water marks.

Population Growth and Global Income Expansion
 
Every day the total population of the earth increases by over 200,000 people3. There are 1,402 million hectares of arable land, 138 million hectares of perennial croplands and 3,433 million hectares of pasturelands feeding the current world population of 6.7 billion (2009)4. The total of 4,973 million hectares of agricultural land amounts to an average of 0.74 hectares per person. In addition to industrial crops like cotton and rubber, these 0.74 hectare units must produce almost all the food each person consumes.
 
By 2050, the world’s population is expected to reach 9.2 billion, 34 percent higher than today.5   Nearly all of this population increase is anticipated to occur in developing countries. Experts predict that urbanization will continue at an accelerated pace, and about 70 percent of the world’s population will be urban (compared to 49 percent today).   Rising incomes in China and other developing countries are resulting in protein based consumption that has risen 14 fold from 1961 to 20056 and is expected to continue rising rapidly as the size of China’s middle class increases from 15 million in 2000 to 195 million in 2020, requiring a commensurate increase in grain and feedstock.  Income levels are forecasted to be many multiples of what they are now.

In order to feed this larger, more urban and richer population, food production (net of food used for biofuels) must increase by 70 percent.7

            Arable Farmland and Future Crop Production Needs
 
Accompanying this population growth and upward pressure on demand is an inadequate supply of new farmland.  Over the last 20 years, global arable acreage has remained flat.8  Even with yield improvements, there is a need for 50 to 80 million net incremental hectares of the 10 major crops globally between 2010 and 2020.9 Over the next 40 years, 120 million additional hectares must be cultivated to meet food demand from a growing world population.
 
According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, the earth has only 1.3 billion hectares of currently utilized arable cropland and 3.4 billion hectares of pasture land of all qualities. About 2 billion hectares of the pastureland could be converted to farmland, but much of it would be of relatively low quality. If all potential farmland is utilized by 2050, the "fair share" of this food production area for each global inhabitant would be about 0.32 acre. Considering the declining quality of farmland worldwide, significant expansion of the potential areas of arable land, especially if it is at the expense of forest, is probably not a realistic solution.
 
As the figure below shows, the expansion rates for total global arable land have leveled off quite markedly since the early 1960s. Indeed, in the last three years for which data is available, the amount of arable land has actually decreased.

  Additional land capable of growing food economically and sustainably is limited. As most of the most productive and economically viable land is already being used, expanding the supply of irrigated land is difficult and expensive.  Diminishing global water supplies and the loss of land due to rising urbanization, land degradation and desertification are further reducing the supply of land suitable for crop production.
 
In addition, the use of grains for the production of biofuels has increased by over 200% since the year 2000.10 Maize can be transformed into ethanol and sold at profitable prices if conventional oil prices are in excess of $50 per barrel.11 Thus, should oil prices remain high or continue to rise further in the foreseeable future, demand from the biofuels sector has the potential to outstrip food demand, even in the short to mid-term, thus further increasing the value of farmland.
 
Food demand is by its very nature price inelastic- i.e. the quantity of food purchased does not diminish as food prices increase nor increase as food prices fall, at least not to the same extent that the quantity of more discretionary purchases, such as clothing and housing, are affected by changes in market price.  Adjusted for inflation, current agricultural commodities prices remain below previous highs. Despite the appearance of rising prices, food expenditures as a percentage of total consumer spending remain near all-time lows.  These factors imply significant scope for further increases in agricultural commodity prices, and with them, farmland values.

The Potential Effects of Global Warming and Climate Change

 Agriculture is vulnerable to the effects of climate change.  Higher temperatures reduce yields of desirable crops while encouraging weed and pest proliferation.  Changes in precipitation patterns increase the likelihood of crop failures and production declines. Extreme weather events caused by climate change are already having a noticeable effect on food production.   As for the future, while they may disagree on detail, the various climate forecasting models are unanimous with respect to global warming’s increasingly negative impact on global food production.  In early 2009, the United Nations summed up the potential combined effects as follows:
 
        “Land degradation and conversion of cropland for non-food production including biofuels, cotton and others are major threats that could reduce the available cropland by 8–20% by 2050. Species infestations of pathogens, weeds and insects, combined with water scarcity from overuse and the melting of the Himalayan glaciers, soil erosion and depletion as well as climate change may reduce current yields by at least an additional 5–25% by 2050.”12

This represents a total potential drop in food crop production of 45% by 2050. While this is happening, global population is forecast to grow as high as 50% over today’s levels by 205013.  When combined with increases in global GDP, this could result in a doubling of global food demand during that period14.  A future of such fundamentally discordant market conditions is hard to comprehend, especially when considered in the context of an already overstretched food supply. At the present time, demand growth is already outstripping supply growth by a factor of almost two to one.  All of these factors indicate that, absent a dramatic reversal of current global warming patterns, a severe supply-demand imbalance in the market for farmland is likely, resulting in a significant increase in the value of good arable farmlands.

Recent Agricultural Trends
 
Agriculture has experienced a number of severe shocks in recent years with record high oil prices, commodity price spikes, food security fears and resultant trade restrictions, as well as the most serious global economic recession since the 1930s. The greatest impact has been on the poor, especially in developing countries, with the world’s hungry now estimated at over 1 billion people.15  However, agriculture has shown remarkable resilience, with strong supply response to high prices and with continuing, albeit dampened, demand growth during the economic crisis.  During 2010, a degree of normalcy returned to many markets with production closer to historical levels and demand recovering.   Still, many governments remain concerned about the potential for a repetition of significant shocks to such key factors as energy prices, exchange rates, and the macroeconomic performance of key countries and regions, and about the consequences that such shocks have for agricultural price volatility.16  Escalating food prices have made a significant contribution to the civil turbulence recently seen in many countries.
 
Underpinning agricultural prices is an increasing cost structure, particularly in regions where energy inputs are used intensively. Global agricultural production is anticipated to grow more slowly in the next decade than in the past one, but, in the absence of unexpected shocks, growth remains on track with the estimated requirement of a 70% increase in global food production by 2050. When including agricultural production for alternative energy uses, this number obviously increases even more dramatically. On a per capita basis, production growth in the least developed countries is struggling to keep up with rapid population growth. Global sector growth will be led by the regions of Latin America and Eastern Europe and, to a lesser extent, certain countries in Asia.17

Agricultural Trade Flows
 
Trade flows and patterns in agricultural products continue to evolve with increased south-south trade in addition to the traditional north-south trade. On the import side, developing countries are becoming increasingly integrated into world agricultural trade and regional markets.  Other countries, such as China, with a well-established presence on international markets, seek to diversify their sources of supply, resulting in new economic interactions and trade between developing and other countries.  These forces are effectively reshaping worldwide flows of agricultural trade. In addition, developing country groupings are assuming greater prominence in international trade negotiations and their agendas.
 
These trade factors suggest that there will be a considerable need for additional production of agricultural products to meet anticipated higher domestic and import demand for food and feed purposes over the coming decade.

The Mercosur Countries

The Mercosur countries - i.e. the signatories to the Treaty of Asuncion, which created the Mercado Común del Sur (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) are playing a significant role in world export of commodities and food, ranking among the top exporters for several products as shown below:

Thus, the potential for growth in arable farmland across the Mercosur countries, particularly in Argentina and Brazil, is quite high.

           Argentina
 
As global food consumption demand continues to grow, Argentina will remain a critical link in the global food production chain. In 2008, Argentina produced 46.2 mm metric tons of soy, corn (21.3 mm), maize, sugarcane (20.5 mm), wheat (16.3 mm), sunflower seeds (4.6 mm), citrus fruit (3.2 mm), sorghum (2.9 mm), grapes (2.8 mm), potatoes (2.6 mm), barley (1.5 mm), apples (1.2 mm), rice (1.2 mm), green tea and yerba mate (1.1 mm). The Argentine agricultural industry is characterized by strong production and large-scale mechanization.  It enjoys a position as one of the world’s foremost agricultural exporters, with the industry contributing over US$16 billion to GDP.
 
Argentina is the No 3 global exporter of soybeans and the top supplier of soymeal and soyoil.  The USDA sees Argentina's soy output during the 2010-2011 season at 50 million tons.18  Argentina expects its corn and wheat crop yields this year to exceed expectations, adding to recent improvements in outlook for soya exports to China that were suspended last year over a contamination controversy.
 
Argentina has the benefit of wide plains of deep, dark soils, able to produce high grain yields and meat of excellent quality.  The fertile soil resources (Mollisols and Alfisols) in Argentina’s Pampa region have been the main support of economic development in the country. In the region, there is:

 
Deep and fertile soil (lucerne roots down 4 - 5 meters).
 
Soil derived from calcite bedrock with a neutral pH.
 
A complete absence of stone of any kind for 80,000 sq km.
 
Rainfall all year round.
 
Summer temperatures over 30° C, high humidity, with winters down to 3 - 5°C.
 
Flat country (700 km from the coast, only 100 m above sea level).
 
A complete absence of animal diseases except mastitis and face flies.
 
No soya bean rust or maize grey leaf spot.
 
An excellent main road infrastructure.
 
Ocean-going grain carrier ships able to navigate the Parana River for 400 km inland to load at Rosario. The river is navigable by barge for a further 3,000 km into Brazil and Bolivia.
 
Agricultural contractors to do all the spraying, planting and harvesting, with a huge fleet of grain trucks to move grain from farms to market.

Brazil
 
           Brazilian agriculture is well diversified, and the country is largely self-sufficient in food. Agriculture accounts for 8% of the country's GDP, and employs about one-quarter of the labor force in more than 6 million agricultural enterprises. Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane and coffee, and a net exporter of cocoa, soybeans, orange juice, tobacco, forest products, and other tropical fruits and nuts.

There has been a significant increase in Brazil’s farm production in the past two decades.  Between 1996 and 2006 the total value of the country’s crops rose from 23 billion reals to 108 billion reals, or 365%. Brazil increased its beef exports tenfold in a decade, overtaking Australia as the world’s largest exporter. It has the world’s largest cattle herd after India’s. It is also the world’s largest exporter of poultry, sugar cane and ethanol. Since 1990 Brazil’s soybean output has risen from barely 15 million tons to over 60 million. Brazil accounts for about a third of world soybean exports, second only to the United States. In 1994 Brazil’s soybean exports were one-seventh those of the United States; today they are six-sevenths. Moreover, Brazil supplies a quarter of the world’s soybean trade on just 6% of the country’s arable land.19
 
Brazil's frontier region is vast and largely untapped. Brazil's high-plains, the cerrados20, cover an estimated 207 million hectares, or about one-fourth of the country.  Only about one-fourth of the cerrados is now used for economic production.   EMBRAPA, Brazil's agricultural research organization, estimates that another 100+ million hectares are suited for modern mechanized crop agriculture. More recently, the USDA estimated that between 145 and 170 million hectares (402 million acres) could be opened for crop production. This means that the agricultural area yet to be opened is more than 25% larger than the total crop acreage of the United States.
 
The Brazilian economy has become significantly more stable in recent years and much more foreign capital is now invested in national activities. In recent years, this enormous piece of land has hosted dozens of major agricultural corporations, such as SLC Agrícola, Multigrain and Vanguard are examples of Brazil - all with revenues above $ 300 million. Among the main activities of these companies, as well as other farms in that region, are the planting of soybeans, corn and cotton.  There are no restrictions on exporting profits or disinvesting capital for foreign investors.
 
Our Business Plan
 
The Company is currently engaged in investigating opportunities for land acquisition in Latin America, developing business relationships there, and carrying on discussions with potential sources of funding.  We have no revenue-producing operations.  Nor have we acquired any farmland nor identified any specific parcel of farmland that we intend to acquire.
 
Our objective is to acquire and control approximately 20,000 hectares of Latin American farmland that is utilized for permanent crops which can be readily exported on ships to countries that cannot produce enough food at a competitive cost.  Through our farm management efforts, we will attempt to realize profits from the long term trends described above of:
 
 
increasing population,
 
increasing incomes in high growth economies,
  rising food commodity prices, and
  the growing value of fertile farm land where abundant soil, water, and access to shipping allows for more favorable economics than the developed counties such as the United States and Europe.

We will seek to build a first rate management team to acquire and manage these farmlands in the Mercosur region, with an initial focus on Uruguay and Brazil.  At first, senior management will be on the ground leading this effort and will build this team while working on the early acquisitions. We believe that this expertise can be acquired or built relatively cheaply due to lower labor costs in Latin America. This team will be the local representatives and will deal with the day-to-day agricultural asset management issues that will be faced by the Company, allowing senior management of the Company to focus on capital and strategic objectives.
 
The farmland management team will:
 
 
source, evaluate, negotiate, and recommend acquisitions,
 
monitor the leased operations  and maintenance of the acquired farmland, ensuring that  modern farmland management techniques are employed, , and
 
report to senior management of the Company and advise on any hedging, pricing, or other revenue measures.

The First Year Program

Our Chief Executive Officer began to develop the business plan for PanAm Terra in 2010.  Currently the Company is still in the investigative stage.  Members of management are making frequent trips to Latin America, primarily to develop a relationship with a farmland management team that will be responsible for the Company’s on-site operations management.  During the next twelve months, we plan to carry on the following activities simultaneously:

 
Complete registration of our common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission, followed by application for a listing on an interdealer electronic quotation system.
 
Develop sources for our initial financing of at least $3 million.
 
Develop and contract with a farmland management team in Latin America, including land managers, surveyors, lawyers, commodity dealers, and specialists in export logistics.
 
Investigate potential land acquisitions.

           Our plan is to finalize relationships with our funding sources early in 2013, by which time we anticipate that our common stock will be quoted for public trading.  As we become confident that the necessary funds are raised, we will engage the portions of our farmland management team that can assist us in choosing among the land acquisition opportunities that we have discovered.  We will attempt to schedule the acquisition of our first land parcels promptly after we obtain our initial financing.  Our expectation, therefore, is that we will commence actual farming operations in Latin America in the summer of 2013.  This schedule depends entirely, however, on our success in achieving the milestones listed above.  Any delay in achieving our listing, obtaining financing, or identifying appropriate acquisitions will delay the initiation of our farming operations.

Land Acquisition Strategy
 
Company management will develop a network of brokers and agents to identify farmland in key markets of Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Columbia, Chile and Paraguay. After locating a property, the Company will perform extensive due diligence, involving technical, economic, and environmental analyses.  When the Company decides to bid for a property, it will initially determine with the landowner whether to complete a sale that removes the landowner from the land or structure a sale and lease-back which results in the prior landowner continuing to work the land under a lease agreement.  Each of the acquisitions will necessarily be negotiated individually.
 
We intend to acquire properties in regions that have sufficient infrastructure to get products to market, as well as existing or available water resources.  We expect to mitigate investor risk by avoiding properties requiring significant transformational investment and to mitigate operating risk by leasing our properties to top quality operators.  We are focused on farmland suitable for producing permanent crops, such as soybeans, corn, grains, although we anticipate mixed use properties in certain markets, such as Uruguay.  In all cases we will seek to acquire properties capable of producing strong current yields and significant long term asset appreciation.  Overall, we expect to assemble a portfolio of top quality agricultural properties diversified by country and by crop.
 
Sustainable Agriculture
 
We are committed to engage in sustainable agriculture practices.  Sustainable agriculture is an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site-specific application that seeks to, over the long term:

 
ü
satisfy human food and fiber needs,
 
ü
make the most efficient use of non-renewable resources and on-farm
    resources and integrate, where appropriate, natural biological cycles and controls,
 
ü
sustain the economic viability of farm operations, and
 
ü
enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.

Our commitment to sustainable agriculture may increase certain costs initially; however, over the long term the benefits of sustainable agricultural practices to the continued fecundity of our soil should more than offset the initial disadvantages.
 
Government Regulation
 
Our ability to acquire farmland in the Mercosur countries will be limited and regulated by national and local regulations regarding foreign ownership of land.  These regulations and the policies behind them are in flux - future regulations and policies may be more or less restrictive, as the political will of each nation determines.  Our belief is that some of the current restrictions have been hastily adopted in response to land acquisitions by sovereign wealth funds and foreign institutions spurred by recent sharp increases in the market prices of food commodities.  We expect recently-adopted regulations in Brazil and regulations currently proposed in Argentina to be relaxed.  Nevertheless, for the foreseeable future our access to farmland in the Mercosur countries will be restricted to some measure by legislation and administrative policies in each of these countries.

 
11

 


The following summarizes the regulatory environment in each of the Mercosur countries:

Uruguay.  Uruguay currently has no law that prevents foreigners from purchasing land in Uruguay.  The only significant limitation that we will face on our ability to acquire land in Uruguay is a national law that gives the state the first option to purchase any farmland before it is transferred, which option could be used to implement a policy restricting foreign ownership.  At present the stated policy of the government of Uruguay is that private land sales to foreign nationals are permitted; however, restrictions will be imposed on acquisition by foreign sovereign wealth funds.

Argentina.  Currently, the only regulation limiting possession of land by foreigners is a 1944 decree that restricts acquisitions in border areas and zones that are key to national security.  However, in reaction to a recent sharp increase in land acquisitions spurred by rising international food prices, a number of legislative proposals have been introduced.  The leading proposal is that of President Cristina Kirchner, who has introduced legislation that would bar individual foreigners from owning more than 2,500 acres in Argentina and would impose a 20% limit on aggregate foreign ownership of Argentina’s total rural land.  We cannot determine whether this or any similar legislation will be adopted.

Brazil.  In response to a surge in land acquisition by foreigners, the government of Brazil recently adopted interim measures limiting foreign ownership of rural.  The regulations impose of limit of 5,000 hectares on ownership by individual foreigners.  The regulations also cap foreign ownership of any individual municipality at 24%, with a 10% cap on ownership by foreigners of any single nationality.  At the same time, the legislature created a National Land Council with authority to review any purchase of more than five hectares; the implementing regulations for the Council are now being developed.

Paraguay.  Land in Paraguay may be owned only by citizens of Paraguay.

Our business operations will be governed by a wide variety of local regulations focused on agricultural production, in particular regulations regarding treatment of farm laborers.  Wherever we acquire land, we intend to engage competent local counsel to advise us regarding the relevant regulations.

Competition
 
The Company will face intensely competitive situations, both in purchasing farmland in Latin American and in securing leasing and operating agreement s for our properties.  A significant number of well-financed public and private investment companies, such as hedge funds and private equity funds, have been launched with the intention of acquiring farmland in Latin America, some of which are focused on Uruguay and/or Brazil  Certain of these companies also operate the farmland.  Many of these funds are affiliated with major international financial institutions.  The major international food and grain companies also are active in the region.  These competitors have resources many times larger than ours.
 
The Company will attempt to compete by utilizing its management company to consolidate smaller parcels of land too small to interest the larger funds and companies and by avoiding transformational investment and timber-focused acquisitions.

Employees
 
The Company currently has two employees: our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer.

ITEM 1A   RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information contained in this Report, including the financial statements and the related notes, before deciding whether to purchase any shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could materially suffer. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our auditor has indicated that there is a substantial doubt as to whether we will be able to continue as a going concern.  In its report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, our independent registered public accounting firm has stated that the fact that the Company has not generated any revenues and does not have positive cash flow from operations raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  A “going concern” opinion is an indication that the auditor’s review of the company’s resources and business activities raised doubt as to whether the company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  The risk of investing in a company whose financial statements carry a going concern opinion is that you are likely to lose all of your investment if the company fails to continue as a going concern.  In the case of PanAm Terra, the fact that we have minimal assets and no source of revenue means that we will continue as a going concern only if we are able to obtain the funds necessary to implement our business plan and are successful in that implementation.  If we are not able to convert our business into a going concern, investors in the Company will lose their investment.

 
13

 

We may be unable to sustain operations and we will certainly not be able to acquire farmland and initiate operations until we raise significant funds.  Our company at this time has only nominal working capital.  We are currently sustaining operations by relying on loans and other investments by the business associates of our management.  If those financing sources become unwilling to finance our development and we are unable to find alternative sources, we will not be able to continue the development of our business.  In addition, in order to acquire farmland and initiate operations, it will be necessary that we obtain approximately three million dollars of capital.  Since we have no assets to pledge against debt, it is likely that any capital we obtain will be the proceeds from a sale of equity or equity-related debt.  If we cannot persuade investors to purchase a sufficient amount of our equity, we will not be able to initiate operations.  Moreover, if the terms on which we sell our equity result in a large dilution to our existing shareholders, we may be unable to produce sufficient return on equity to make our company viable.

We may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stockWe will require approximately $3 million in financing to fund the initial implementation of our business plan. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders will be reduced, and the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us.

Our business and operations are newly established. Unless we manage our growth effectively, our business will fail. The Company was reorganized and new management installed during the latter part of 2010.  Some members of our management team had prior experience running businesses in Latin America.  The extrapolation of that experience into a farmland acquisition and operation business on the magnitude contemplated by the Company will place significant demands on our senior management, and on our operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not effectively manage our operations, the quality of our program will suffer, which would negatively affect our operating results. The complexity of this undertaking means that we are likely to face many challenges, some of which are not yet foreseeable. Problems may occur with our acquisition of land, and with our ability to sell our crops at profitable prices. If we are not able to obtain the necessary funding and operate efficiently, our business plan may fall short of its goals, and our ability to manage our growth would be hurt.

The employment of qualified local personnel for the farm management company is crucial to the success of the Company.  Because senior management does not have significant expertise in agriculture and does not intend to relocate permanently to Latin America, the Company must identify, recruit and employ qualified staff in the various local markets for the farm management company.  These individuals, none of whom have yet been hired, will need sufficient skills in order to identify attractive properties, negotiate the purchases and manage the operations of the farms.  Failure to employ individuals with these talents is likely to prevent the Company from successfully executing its business plan.

 
14

 


We intend to operate in highly competitive marketplaces, which could adversely affect our land purchases and financial condition. Potential purchasers for available farmland in Latin America include multi-national corporations, large financial institutions, hedge funds and other investment companies and government sponsored vehicles.  These competitors are larger than we are and have substantially greater financial resources, technical expertise, and managerial capabilities that allow them to be in a better position to withstand changes in the industry.  Many also have been in the business for a longer period of time and have greater accumulated experience and higher global name recognition.  Those who have focused on agriculture in Latin America have already established local contacts as well as networks for distribution that will enable them to operate more efficiently than we will in our early years.  Competition could prevent us from obtaining worthwhile land or from securing advantageous markets for our crops.

Land in Latin American countries may be subject to expropriation or occupation. Our land may be subject to expropriation by governments of the countries where we intend to operate. An expropriation could materially impair the normal use of our lands and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Social movements, such as Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra and Comissão Pastoral da Terra in Brazil, are active in certain areas of the countries where we intend to operate. Such movements advocate land reform and mandatory property redistribution by governments. Land invasions and occupations of rural areas by a large number of individuals is common practice for these movements, and, in certain countries, police protection and effective eviction proceedings are not available to land owners. As a result, we cannot give any assurance that our properties will not be subject to invasion or occupation by these groups. A land invasion or occupation could materially impair the normal use of our lands and have a material adverse effect on us or the value of our shares.

Our business is dependent on economic conditions, both globally and in the countries where we intend to operate. We expect to make investments in farmland in Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and Peru, and we may acquire investments in other Latin America countries. Because demand for agricultural products usually is correlated to economic conditions prevailing in the local market, which in turn is dependent on the macroeconomic condition of the country in which the market is located, our financial condition and results of operations will be, to a considerable extent, dependent upon political and economic conditions prevailing from time to time in the countries where we operate. Latin American countries have historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth, as well as recession, periods of high inflation and economic instability. Certain countries have experienced severe economic crises, which may still have future effects. As a result, governments may not have the financial resources necessary to implement reforms and foster growth. Any of these adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 
15

 

 
In the past few years, the world’s economy experienced the effects of the crisis that unfolded in mid-2007 as a result of the disruption of the subprime mortgage market in the United States. Though there has been significant recovery, an interruption of such recovery may have an impact on the economic conditions that is difficult to predict. A less favorable or an unfavorable international environment for the countries where we intend to operate could force domestic policy adjustments, which could cause adverse economic conditions and adversely affect our business.

We face the risk of political instability, terrorism, civil strife, and other risks of doing business in emerging markets. We intend to conduct our operations in the countries of Latin America. Political developments in these countries, including government deadlock, political instability, terrorism, civil strife, and changes in laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Worldwide competition in the markets for our products could adversely affect our business and results of operations. We will experience substantial worldwide competition in each of our markets. The market for permanent crops and by-products is highly competitive and sensitive to changes in industry capacity, producer inventories and cyclical changes in the world’s economies, any of which may significantly affect the selling prices of our products and thereby our profitability.  Due to the fact that many of our products are agricultural commodities, they compete in the international markets almost exclusively on the basis of price. Many other producers of these products are larger than we are, and have greater financial and other resources. Moreover, many other producers receive subsidies from their respective countries while we will not receive any such subsidies from the Argentine or any other government. These subsidies may allow producers from other countries to produce at lower costs than we can or endure periods of low prices and operating losses for longer periods than we can. Any increased competitive pressure with respect to our products could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Local currencies used in the conduct of our business are subject to exchange rate volatility and exchange controls. The currencies of many countries in Latin America have experienced substantial volatility in recent years. Currency movements, as well as higher interest rates, have materially and adversely affected the economies of many Latin American countries, including countries which are expected to account for a significant portion of our revenues. The depreciation of local currencies creates inflationary pressures that may have an adverse effect on us generally, and may restrict our access to international capital markets. On the other hand, the appreciation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar may reduce our ability to purchase land  as well as to lower economic growth.  In addition, we may be subject to exchange control regulations in these Latin American countries which might restrict our ability to convert local currencies into U.S. dollars.  While we will attempt to hedge currency risk when appropriate, there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant losses as the result of currency movements.

 
16

 

Our business may be affected by political and constitutional uncertainty in Brazil. High levels of uncertainty have marked the Brazilian political environment since the country returned to civilian rule in 1985. Although Brazil’s democratic structure has improved in the last few years, the country still lacks solid political institutions, committed political parties and a mature judicial system. Brazil suffers from constant institutional changes that hinder the continuity of long-term development plans and that can adversely affect our strategies. Controls on foreign investments may limit our ability to receive capital from our Brazilian operations.  Any repatriation of the foreign capital, or income earned on the foreign capital investment, may require approval by the Brazilian government. Although approvals on repatriation are usually granted and we know of no current restrictions on foreign capital remittances, there can be no assurance that in the future approvals on repatriation will be granted or restrictions or adverse policies will not be imposed.

Fluctuation in market prices for our agriculture products could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.  Prices for the crops that we will sell, like those of other commodities, can be expected to fluctuate significantly. The prices that we are able to obtain for our agriculture products depend on many factors beyond our control, including:
 
 
prevailing world prices, which historically have been subject to significant fluctuations over relatively short periods of time, depending on worldwide demand and supply;
 
changes in the agricultural subsidy levels in certain important countries (mainly the United States and countries in the European Union) and the adoption of other government policies affecting industry market conditions and prices; and
 
demand for and supply of competing commodities and substitutes.

These factors are also impossible for us to forecast.  International food prices, as measured by the U.N. Food and Agricultural monthly food price index, have recently reached new highs.  Our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if the prices of agricultural commodities decline.

Unpredictable weather conditions may have an adverse impact on our crop production. Our primary crops will require warm weather with an adequate, but not excessive, amount of rainfall.  The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, hail or floods, is unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact upon our crop production. The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions may reduce yields on our farms or require us to increase our level of investment to maintain yields.  Recent summer drought in South America, with particularly adverse conditions in Argentina, reduced agricultural production and caused prices to dramatically increase.  If we experience a repeat of these severe adverse weather conditions, our operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected.

Disease may strike our crops, destroying some or all of our yields. The occurrence and effect of crop disease and pestilence can be unpredictable and devastating to crops, potentially destroying all or a substantial portion of the affected harvests.  Latin America is, from time to time, subject to a variety of crop diseases, including Asian rust, a fungus that, if untreated, can reduce yields significantly. Although we will take preventative measures by applying fungicides, there can be no assurance that this disease or others will not cause significant losses.  Even when only a portion of the crop is damaged, our results of operations could be adversely affected because all or a substantial portion of the production costs for the entire crop have been incurred. Although some crop diseases are treatable, the cost of treatment is high, and we cannot assure that such events in the future will not adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

 
17

 


We have no business insurance coverage, which could require us to spend significant resources in the event of a disruption of our business or other contingency.  Insurance companies in Latin America offer limited business insurance products.  We do not expect to carry any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations.  Any business disruption, litigation, system failure or natural disaster may cause us to incur substantial costs and divert resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.  Because the Company is a Nevada corporation, we are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur from time-to-time in Latin American countries. We cannot assure, however, that our employees or our local agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Management personnel own a majority of the outstanding common stock, which enables them to exercise complete control over all corporate matters. Alexandre Clug, our Chairman of the Board, has voting control over 39.6% of our outstanding common stock.  Mr. Clug and the other officers and directors of the Company, collectively control 62.1% of the voting power in the Company.  As a result, the current management can exercise control over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Because Nevada law permits shareholders to act by written consent in lieu of holding a meeting of shareholders, the affairs of the Company may be carried on without need for any meeting of the shareholders.  This situation may prevent the minority shareholders from participating in any way in the management of the Company.  In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of us and might affect the market price of our common stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with the best interest of the Company or the interests of other stockholders.

 
18

 


The Company is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.  Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense involved.  The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to that position by the previous directors.  If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will appoint them.  As a result, the shareholders of the Company will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of the Company.

The Company may fail to secure a listing for its common stock or, even if it obtains a listing, trading in the common stock may be inadequate to provide liquidity for our shareholders.  We plan in the near future to request that a market maker apply to list our common stock on an interdealer electronic quotation system, such as the OTCBB or the OTCQB.  Many market makers refuse to be involved in such applications, as the process of applying for a listing consumes the time and effort of their personnel, and often provides little or no reward to the market maker.  If we are unable to persuade a market maker to sponsor our common stock on an interdealer electronic quotation system, we will not obtain a listing, and our common stock will remain illiquid.  The application process itself is likely to take several months, and will not necessarily result in a listing, as FINRA, which must authorize the listing, has discretion to refuse a listing to a security for many possible reasons pertaining to the likely character of the trading market that could develop in the security.  Finally, even if and when our common stock does become listed, the small number of holders of our common stock means that for some indefinite period of time the trading volume in our common stock will be very low.  For all of these reasons, for some period of the future, our shareholders may find it difficult or impossible to sell their shares when they wish and for prices they consider reasonable.

ITEM 6.          SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable.

ITEM 7.          MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

PanAm Terra is in its organizational phase at this time. During 2011 and 2010, the Company had no revenue and incurred $243,980 and $105,242, respectively, in operating expenses. The primary component of expenses was salary accrued to compensate the members of our management, who are the Company’s only employees, for their services in developing our business plan and initiating the organization of our business. We also incurred $24,199 in travel expenses in 2011, relating to the efforts of our Chairman to develop the relationships in Latin America necessary for the implementation of our business plan. The remainder of our expenses in 2011 were legal, accounting and administrative expenses incurred in organizing the affairs of PanAm Terra. In 2010, when PanAm Terra was dormant, the Company incurred $88,156 in consulting fees arising from certain legacy arrangements and $17,086 in expenses related to sustaining its corporate existence.

Early in 2011 we completed the liquidation of a subsidiary named Ascentia Biomedical Technologies, Inc. The subsidiary had no assets and its creditors had no legal right of access to the assets of the Company. For that reason, we have recorded the liabilities of the subsidiary on the date of dissolution, which totaled $60,932, as a gain on dissolution of subsidiary, representing other income on our Statements of Operations. This was offset by the $79,738 loss on extinguishment of debt that we recorded in March 2011. The loss arose when we replaced a $25,000 note payable with a $25,000 convertible note. As a result of the conversion feature, the fair value of the convertible note when issued was $104,738. Accordingly we recorded the difference between the carrying value of the old note payable and the fair value of the convertible note as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

 
21

 


As a result of the several expenses described above, the Company recorded a net loss of $267,474 ($.05 per share) for 2011 and a net loss of $105,317 ($.04 per share) for 2010.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s operations during the 2011 used $82,227 in cash.  Our cash usage was less than our net loss primarily because $79,738 of the loss arose from our accounting for the replacement of one note by another. In addition, due to lack of cash, most of the expenses we incurred during the 2011 were accrued as of December 31, 2011.  We financed that cash flow by issuing 1,286,638 shares of common stock in January 2011, for which we received a cash payment of $70,000, and by issuing 500,000 shares of common stock in November and December of 2011, for which we received cash payments totaling $100,000.

We plan to acquire the capital required to initiate our business plan by issuing equity securities, either capital stock or convertible debt. Since the end of 2011, however, we have received no commitments for funds other than a sale of 300,000 shares of common stock for $150,000 that we completed in July 2012.  Accordingly, the opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our 2011 financial statements states that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. That doubt will be alleviated only when we obtain the funds necessary to purchase farmland and initiate profitable operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our financial statements we are required to formulate working policies regarding valuation of our assets and liabilities and to develop estimates of those values.  However, in our preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no estimates made which were (a) subject to a high degree of uncertainty and (b) material to our results.

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

There were no recent accounting pronouncements that have had a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 
22

 


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors
PanAm Terra, Inc.
Miami, Florida


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PanAm Terra, Inc. and Subsidiary (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from February 15, 2007 (commencement of development stage) to December 31, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PanAm Terra, Inc. and Subsidiary (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from February 15, 2007 (commencement of development stage) to December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1:
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

PanAm Terra, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 9, 2001. The Company’s incorporation name was Bellweather Corporation. The Company did not conduct any significant operations until December 15, 2004 when the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Ascentia Biomedical Technologies, Inc. (“ABTI”), at which time the Company changed its name to Ascentia Biomedical Corporation. Upon completion of the merger with ABTI, the Company’s original shareholders owned only 20.2% of the post-merger outstanding common shares. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a “reverse merger” whereby the Company was treated as the accounting acquiree and ABTI as the accounting acquirer. ABTI was in the business of pharmaceutical and biomedical research. However, by the third quarter of year 2006 the operations of ABTI had ceased. On March 16, 2011, ABTI was dissolved. See Note 12.

On December 13, 2006, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Duncan Technology Group. On April 14, 2011, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to PanAm Terra, Inc.

On November 3, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the common and preferred stock of Fortress Technology Systems, Inc. (“Fortress”) in a transaction accounted for as a “reverse merger”. The Company agreed to issue 2,545,310 common shares and 8,000,000 preferred shares in the share exchange agreement. The Company issued the 2,545,310 common shares on May 18, 2011. In December, 2007, Fortress agreed that the 8,000,000 preferred shares would not be part of the acquisition consideration.

Fortress was an operating, revenue generating company conducting business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zephyr Communications, Inc. (“Zephyr”). Zephyr primarily sold, installed and maintained a proprietary secure cable infrastructure system. On February 15, 2007, Fortress and Zephyr were “spun-off” to a foreign entity in which the Company’s CEO was a director. At the time of the spin-off, the liabilities of Fortress and its wholly-owned subsidiary exceeded their combined assets by $1,157,436. The Company did not receive any other compensation as part of the spin-off; accordingly, the Company recorded the elimination of the net liabilities of $1,157,436 from its consolidated financial statements as a capital contribution.

PANAM TERRA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(F/K/A DUNCAN TECHNOLOGY GROUP AND ASCENTIA BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION)
A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Since the February 15, 2007 spin-off, the Company has not conducted any significant operations and has not generated any operating revenue. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements indicate that as of February 15, 2007 the Company is considered a development stage enterprise.

The Company plans to be a real estate land owning entity with the primary purpose of acquiring, leasing and controlling farm land in Latin America. Initially the Company will focus its efforts in the countries of Uruguay and Brazil. The business model being pursued is to acquire farmland currently producing net positive cash flows from crops such as soybeans, corn, rice and grains which are readily exportable to countries with significant demand for agricultural products.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ABTI. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Development Stage Company

The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by ASC 915-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The development stage commenced on February 15, 2007, the date the Company’s operating subsidiary was spun-off. Accordingly, the financial statements reflect all losses accumulated since February 15, 2007 as incurred during the Company’s development stage activities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost which consists of the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that the asset’s useful life will be extended. Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of an asset are charged to expense.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful life of each asset. Farmland is not depreciated. The Company did not own any property and equipment in the two years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, And Equipment”, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the Company determines that the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from the asset’s use and eventual disposal is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk. The Company expects cash and accounts receivable to be the two assets most likely to subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure. The Company plans to minimize its accounts receivable credit risk by transacting contractual arrangements with customers that have been subjected to stringent credit evaluations and structuring the contracts in a manner that lessens inherent credit risks.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to account for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is used to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on management’s estimate, is more likely than not to be realized.

A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



ASC 740 provides guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. If the Company determines that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. A liability for uncertain tax positions would then be recorded if the Company determined it is more likely than not that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if a payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable. We do not believe any uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The Company has computed net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” which mandates that basic and diluted earnings per share “EPS” be presented on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including contingently issuable shares where the contingency has been resolved. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive stock options and warrants outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and dilutive convertible securities using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted loss per share excludes all dilutive potential shares as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four criteria are met: pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company did not recognize any revenue in the two years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard update (ASU No. 2011-04), which amends the fair value measurement guidance and includes some enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company  adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012. .

In June 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard (ASU No. 2011-05), which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012.

In September 2011, FASB issued amendments to its accounting guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The amendments allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. This permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The Company did not early adopt this guidance and does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption in 2012.

NOTE 2:         GOING CONCERN

The Company has  not  generated any revenues and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities . These  conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to finance the Company’s operating cash flow requirements through the issuance of equity and debt securities. However, there can be no assurances that management will be successful in raising sufficient capital to meet its budgetary cash flow requirements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and to obtain the necessary financing to execute its business plan and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations.

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3:         DUE FROM RELATED PARTY

The Company, while in the process of paying a $1,048 vendor bill in 2011, inadvertently paid a related party instead of the intended vendor. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the related party refunded to the Company the full amount of the erroneous payment.

NOTE 4:         DUE FROM SHAREHOLDER

In 2010, the Company advanced $4,997 to its chief executive officer (CEO) who is a Company shareholder. The funds were advanced for Company business expenses that were incurred and paid by the Company’s CEO subsequent to December 31, 2010.

NOTE 5:         DUE TO RELATED PARTY

In 2010, the Company incurred $60,000 of consulting fees payable to an entity wholly-owned by the Company’s CEO.

In 2011, as more fully explained in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company settled the $60,000 debt obligation in exchange for 751,117 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 6:         NOTES PAYABLE

$25,000 Convertible Note:  The Company entered into a $25,000 note payable dated December 20, 2010. Interest accrued at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The principal amount of the note and all accrued interest were payable on August 15, 2012. As of December 31, 2010, accrued interest payable totaled $75. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 (prior to the modification described below) and 2010 totaled $466 and $75, respectively.

On March 10, 2011, the Company executed an “On Demand Convertible Note” in the principal amount of $25,000 that replaced and superseded the terms of the $25,000 note payable that was outstanding as of December 31, 2010. The terms of the new note stipulated that the entire principal and accrued interest were payable on September 10, 2012 with interest accruing at a 10% annual rate. The holder of the new note payable was given the option to convert the $25,000 principal amount and the related accrued interest at any time prior to September 10, 2012 in exchange for 1,935,284 common shares. The note holder may convert less than 100% of the amount of the note and the related accrued interest and receive common shares on a pro-rata basis. Upon the conversion of the note, or a portion thereof, the note holder’s common stock ownership may not exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding common shares of the Company after giving effect to the shares issuable upon conversion. On September 10, 2012, the new note was modified to extend the maturity and note conversion deadline dates to September 10, 2015.

The Company considers this new debt instrument to be substantially different from the replaced note payable pursuant to ASC 470 because its modification added a substantive conversion option whose exercise is considered to be at least reasonably possible. Accordingly, because substantially different terms exist, the old debt instrument is considered to be extinguished and the new debt instrument is valued at $105,279 for purposes of determining the loss on extinguishment of debt. A loss on extinguishment of debt of $79,738 resulting from the difference between the fair value of the new note and the carrying value of the old note at the time of the transaction is included in the consolidated statement of operations. The new note fair value of $105,279 was determined by multiplying the number of convertible shares (1,935,284) by the estimated per share value ($0.0544) of the common stock on March 10, 2011. The $0.0544 valuation price used is the per share cash price (Level 1 input) obtained by the Company in its only equity offering prior to this transaction. The difference between the estimated fair value of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the new note and the face amount of the new note results in a beneficial conversion feature of $80,279 which was recorded as a reduction to the fair value of the new debt instrument and an increase to additional paid-in capital.
 
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 (after the modification described above), totaled $2,034, all of which is accrued and unpaid. As of December 31, 2011, the note payable balance that is included in the consolidated balance sheet totals $27,034 which includes the $2,034 of accrued interest.

$28,000 Convertible Note:  On March 15, 2011, the Company executed an “On Demand Convertible Note” in the principal amount of $28,000 that replaces and supersedes a $28,156 vendor invoice that was accrued as of December 31, 2010. The note and any accrued interest was payable on September 15, 2012 with interest accruing at 10% per annum. The holder of the note had the option to convert the $28,000 principal amount and the related accrued interest at any time prior to September 15, 2012 in exchange for 473,204 common shares. The note holder may convert less than 100% of the amount of the note and the related accrued interest and receive common shares on a pro-rata basis. Upon conversion of the note, or a portion thereof, the note holder’s common stock ownership may not exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding common shares of the Company after giving effect to the shares issuable upon conversion. On September 15, 2012, the note was modified to extend the maturity and note conversion deadline dates to September 15, 2015.

The Company considers this new debt instrument to be substantially different from the replaced note payable pursuant to ASC 470 because its modification added a substantive conversion option whose exercise is considered to be at least reasonably possible. Accordingly, because substantially different terms exist, the old debt instrument is considered to be extinguished and the new debt instrument is valued at $28,000 for purposes of determining the gain on extinguishment of debt. A gain on extinguishment of debt of $156 resulting from the difference between the fair value of the new note and the carrying value of the old note at the time of the transaction is included in the statement of operations. The new note value of $28,000 was determined by the Company to be reasonable although the value of the convertible shares is less than the face value of the new note. The Company believes that because the note interest rate is representative of the rate the Company would have to pay for similarly termed debt instruments from third parties, the appropriate valuation is the $28,000 face amount of the note. This is a valuation using a Level 3 input and the market approach.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, totaled $2,240, all of which is accrued and unpaid. As of December 31, 2011, the note payable balance that is included in the consolidated balance sheet totals $30,240 which includes the $2,240 of accrued interest.

NOTE 7:         STOCK OPTION PLAN

In year 2004 and effective for year 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Company’s “2005 Combined Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan” (Plan). The maximum aggregate number of common shares that may be subject to option and sold under the Plan is twenty thousand (20,000) shares. The Board of Directors or a Committee appointed by the Board shall administer the Plan. The Plan became effective upon its adoption by the Board and shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated by the Board. The term of each option shall not exceed more than ten (10) years from the grant date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall not exceed five (5) years from the date of grant. The per share exercise price shall be subject to the following: In the case of an Incentive Stock Option (a) granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant (b) granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. In the case of a Non-statutory Stock Option, the per share exercise price shall be determined by the Plan administrator.

On December 8, 2005, the Company granted to three members of its scientific advisory board stock options to acquire in the aggregate 6,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $100.00 per share for a period of five years. The option grants vested immediately and therefore the stock compensation expense was recognized in its entirety on the grant date in accordance with the guidelines of ASC 718 “Share Based Payment” utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The options were never exercised and expired on December 7, 2010. The Company does not have any outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2011 or 2010, respectively.

NOTE 8:         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s financial instruments consisted principally of due from related party, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and two term notes payable. The recorded value of the Company’s due from related party and accounts payable and accrued expenses; approximates their current fair values due to the relatively short-term settlement period of these instruments. The fair value of the convertible notes is  based on the number of convertible common shares multiplied by $0.20 per share. The per share valuation is based on the cash value received for the private offering sale of common stock on December 16, 2011. Accordingly, the value of the $25,000 note is $387,057 and the value of the $28,000 note is $94,641.

The potential deferred tax asset is computed utilizing a 34% federal statutory tax rate as the states in which the Company operated had no corporate income tax. No deferred tax asset has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the NOL carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

The increases in the 2011 and 2010 valuation allowances of $89,935 and $35,808, respectively, are solely attributable to deferred tax assets arising from the tax benefit of the NOL carryforward.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had NOL carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $1,104,307 that may be offset against future taxable income through tax year 2031.

In March 2011, the Company’s subsidiary filed articles of dissolution with the state of Washington. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Service regulations, the parent of a dissolved subsidiary cannot utilize the NOL’s of the subsidiary. The Company’s subsidiary did not have an NOL upon dissolution; accordingly, the Company’s NOL was not adversely impacted by the subsidiary’s dissolution.

On October 1, 2011, effective as of January 1, 2011, the Company approved a stock compensation agreement with its chief financial officer (CFO). In exchange for CFO services during the year ending December 31, 2011, the Company is obligated to issue its CFO 750,000 restricted shares of common stock. Per the agreement, the shares were earned quarterly in 2011 as follows: (a) first quarter, 175,000 shares (b) second quarter, 200,000 shares (c) third quarter, 225,000 shares (d) fourth quarter, 150,000 shares. None of the shares have been issued. In 2012, the CFO was receiving compensation of $1,000 per month.

The shares were valued based on the average per share private placement stock price on January 14, 2011 of $0.0544 since no other stock cash sale transactions occurred prior to October 1, 2011. The consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes $40,800 of payroll costs related to this transaction. The December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet includes as “common stock issuable” at par of $750 the 750,000 unissued shares.

Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with an entity related to the terminated CEO. In exchange for financial and management consulting services, the Company shall pay $5,000 monthly until the Company obtains $2,000,000 in financing (including all financing completed since October 1, 2010), thereafter, the monthly consulting fee shall be $10,000. The Company shall also issue 900,000 restricted common shares that shall vest on the first anniversary of the agreement (July 6, 2013) but said shares shall be surrendered and cancelled if the agreement is terminated prior to that date. If during the term of this agreement, the Company owns or contracts to manage farmland, and the aggregate value of said farmland (determined by the most recent purchase price) is at least $200,000,000, then the Company will issue to the consulting entity a warrant to purchase 900,000 shares of common stock at a strike price of $2 per share during the period of five years from the date of issuance. The term of the agreement is five years; however, either party may terminate the agreement with or without cause after twenty-four months or at any time if the terminated CEO ceases to be affiliated with the entity providing the advisory services.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company hired a President/CEO by entering into a one year employment agreement that may be renewed annually by mutual written consent. The agreement contains a non-compete clause effective for twelve months after termination thereof. The agreement is conditional on the Company’s commitment to obtain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy as soon as is reasonable and the Company executing an Indemnification Agreement satisfactory to the employee. The CEO shall receive monthly compensation of $5,000 increasing to $10,000 in the event the Company receives $2,000,000 from the sale of equity securities (including all financing completed since October 1, 2010). However, for the quarter ending December 31, 2012, the CEO’s monthly compensation is $10,000 as an incentive to achieve the aforementioned $2,000,000 equity raise. The CEO shall receive 900,000 restricted common shares of which 450,000 shall be fully vested upon contract start date (July 6, 2012); the remaining 450,000 shares will vest on July 6, 2013 unless the agreement is terminated prior to that date. If during the term of this agreement (but not after the fifth anniversary of the date of this agreement), the Company owns or contracts to manage farmland, and the aggregate value of said farmland (determined by the most recent purchase price) is at least $200,000,000, then the Company shall issue to the CEO a warrant to purchase 900,000 shares of common stock at a strike price of $2 per share during the period of five years from the date of issuance. The Board of Directors shall determine the amount the CEO’s bonus, if any, based on factors such as the achievement of company goals and plans, capital raising, purchase of land, and hiring of key employees in key locations.

NOTE 12:       DISSOLUTION OF SUBSIDIARY

On March 16, 2011, the Company filed Articles of Dissolution with the State of Washington for the dissolution of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, Ascentia Biomedical Technologies, Inc. As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s consolidated financial statement balances attributable to its subsidiary included accounts payable to vendors of $60,932. Since there was no recourse against the Company for the $60,932 of accounts payable, the statement of operations includes that sum as a “gain on dissolution of subsidiary”. The subsidiary did not have any assets. The parent did not guarantee any of the debts of its subsidiary. Eliminated in the consolidation process and therefore not reflected in the consolidated financial statement balances as of December 31, 2010 is an intercompany balance of $558,482 that the subsidiary owed to its parent. The Company wrote-off the $558,482 intercompany balance on March 16, 2011, however, the write-off did not affect the consolidated statement of operations due to the offsetting nature of the intercompany balance.

(a)           Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) as of December 31, 2011.  The evaluation revealed that there is a material weakness in our disclosure controls, specifically the relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures was not effective as of December 31, 2011.

(b)           Changes in Internal Controls.
 
There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(c)
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of December 31, 2011, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.
 
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherentl imitations.  
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.  The material weakness consisted of the relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions, which prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.

 
25

 


As the Company grows, management will expand the staff responsible for accounting functions. To date, however, we are not aware of significant accounting problems resulting from this weakness; so we have to weigh the cost of improvement against the benefit of strengthened controls.  However, because of the above condition, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2011.
