FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 including the adequacy of our working capital and our acquisition plans. In addition to these statements, trend analyses and other information including words such as “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and other similar expressions are forward looking statements. These statements are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions we made using information currently available to us. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Because these statements reflect our current views concerning future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual future results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. We anticipate that some or all of the results may not occur because of factors which we discuss in the “Risk Factors” section.

 

 

 

 

PART I

 

Item 1. Business.

 

General

  

Our offices are located in Oakland County, Michigan. The purchase of a condominium unit on July 28, 2009 initiated our planned new business operations directed at purchasing income-producing residential real estate apartment homes, condominiums and houses in the State of Michigan.

 

As of April 30, 2016, we own 14 properties, two of which have been subsequently sold.

  

Our business model since our initial property purchases, has been to acquire, refurbish and upgrade existing properties into more environmentally sustainable, energy efficient, comfortable and healthier living spaces so that they meet standards that exceed what is often the norm for most single family homes, condominiums and apartments. Once a property has been acquired, refurbished and rented, the property would be put back on the market, but now as a fully managed investment property, with a favorable environmental profile and yield. These investment properties are then by ProGreen Realty LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProGreen and managed by ProGreen Properties Management LLC, another wholly owned subsidiary. In January 2015, ProGreen Construction LLC (“ProGreen Construction”) was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. ProGreen Construction performs all construction and development services for properties which are held and under development.

 

Recent Developments

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with American Residential Fastigheter AB, a company formed under the laws of Sweden (“AMREFA”) which, together with its predecessor, American Residential Gap ApS (“ARG”), a property investment company incorporated in Denmark, had financed the bulk of our property acquisition and development operations in Michigan. Pursuant to this agreement, through the issuance of shares of our preferred stock subsequent to April 30, 2016, we purchased all of the real estate properties in Birmingham, Michigan, that were purchased by, and which we have managed for, AMREFA.

 

We have expanded our real estate development operations to include Baja California, Mexico. On February 12, 2016, we signed a definitive joint venture agreement with Inmobiliaria Contel S.R.L.C.V. for the first tract of land of approximately 300 acres for agriculture use. In addition, we have formed Procon Baja JV, our joint venture subsidiary owned by Progreen (51%) and Contel (49%). The Procon subsidiary is planned to be the holding company for the development of approximately 1,900 acres, with some 500-800 acres suitable for farming, depending on the amount of water that could be extracted through the drilling of fresh water wells.

Real Estate Development and Marketing Operations

 

Michigan

 

We are proceeding to liquidate our current real estate portfolio in Michigan, once the lease agreements expire, and instead offer the properties with land contracts to buyers unable to obtain conventional financing. We have recently sold two of our properties with a favorable return this way. If this trend continues, we may continue to acquire more distressed properties and market the properties in this manner. We are also looking into the viability of taking the ProGreen concept even further in connection with larger projects, with possible implementation of solar technology, as well as other sustainable eco features. ProGreen's goal is to be able to develop its first "green" apartment complex, attracting a new generation of renters that appreciate and believe in the need for green technology in the residential market place. We also plan to commence an effort to identify partners with whom to acquire larger scale multi-family properties in Detroit as well as possibly in other parts of the country. We believe that the implementation of the ProGreen concept would create a new aspect and attraction to rental properties.  

 

Baja California

 

The Company has signed a definitive joint venture agreement with Inmobiliaria Contel S.R.L.C.V. (Contel), formed under the laws of Mexico, for the first tract of land of approximately 300 acres for agriculture use in Baja California, Mexico, as well as a Debt Mortgage Guarantee for the initial amount of $300,000 for the joint venture. Jan Telander, our Chief Executive Officer, has made personal investments in this project, and has a minority partnership interest and participates in the management of Contel, which was recently formed. The intent is to involve Progreen in the development plan for properties acquired by Contel. The joint venture agreement with Progreen provides for Contel to contribute the land to the joint venture at a low cost and under favorable terms, as well as handling all planning, permits, preparation and construction, in order for the property to be marketed as prime farm land. The Company will be responsible for providing the financing. Once sold, the Company will, with priority, receive the return of the financed amount and profits from the resale of the property as developed farm land will be split equally between the two parties. Work on this first tract of land is in process, and has included clearing and levelling of the land, drilling of wells and other site work. The majority of the work has now been completed, and the property is presently being actively marketed and planned to be sold. 

 

In addition, we have formed Procon Baja JV (Procon), our joint venture subsidiary with Contel. Procon is owned by Progreen (51%) and Contel (49%) . Procon will be the holding company for further land developments, the first being of approximately 1,900 acres, with some 500-800 acres suitable for farming, depending on the amount of water that could be extracted through the drilling of fresh water wells. The company will be managed by a board of Managing Directors consisting of three members. Two will be representing Progreen and one representing Contel. At least two managing directors’ approvals will be needed for management decisions or approvals of financial transactions, giving Progreen operational control.

 

Environmental Objectives in our Operations

 

To make homes more comfortable, we try to, whenever practical, optimize space by creating openness, introducing more natural light, creating better storage areas, as well as aiming to improve insulation, all with a view to make even small condominiums and apartments eco-friendly and practical. This ideology, we believe, will increase property value as well as to further create tenant loyalty in the rental market.

 

For a healthier living environment, we use eco-friendly, paints, primers and adhesives; improve air quality through better ventilation and air filtration in heating and air conditioning system, whenever feasible.

 

Property Acquisition Strategy

 

Each property we acquire is acquired separately through a wholly-owned limited liability company for that particular property. This will limit the risk exposure to a particular property solely to that property. Our property management strategy will be to deliver quality services, thereby promoting tenant satisfaction, maintaining high tenant retention, and enhancing the value of each of our operating real estate assets through eco-friendly improvements.

 

 2 

 

 

In analyzing the potential development of a particular project, we evaluate the geographic, demographic, economic, and financial data, including:

 

  Households, population and employment growth;
  Prevailing rental and occupancy rates in the market area, and possible growth in those rates; and
  Location of the property in respect to schools and public transportation.

 

Environmental and Other Regulatory Matters

 

Under various federal, state, and local laws and regulations, an owner of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on the property. Those laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of remediation or removal of the substances may be substantial, and the presence of the substances, or the failure to remediate the substances promptly, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell the real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.

 

Insurance

 

We carry comprehensive property, general liability, fire, extended coverage and environmental on all of our existing properties, with policy specifications, insured limits, and deductibles customarily carried for similar properties.

 

Competition

 

In Michigan, we operate in a competitive housing market environment where a variety of individuals and corporations are trying to maximize gains on the acquisition of undervalued property through housing market conditions. We may experience competition from companies that have similar business models involving rehabilitation of properties using environmentally friendly renovation techniques, and there is no assurance that we will continue to be able to purchase residential rental properties at attractive prices or that we will not experience competition from other developers that are marketing energy efficient and environmentally friendly properties.

 

In Mexico, as the land cost in Baja through our joint ventures, is substantially below market price, we have a distinct advantage and will have a competitive edge as far as pricing is concerned. We have also initially found substantial amounts of water, which increases the value and attractiveness to the land considerably.

 

Employees

 

As of April 30, 2016, we had one full-time employee, our Chief Executive Officer. Our administrator as well as our real estate broker work as independent contractors. Our management expects to confer with consultants, attorneys and accountants as necessary. In July we hired a full time office manager/book keeper and we expect to further expand our staff in the current fiscal year.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding whether to invest in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or our financial condition. If any of the events discussed in the risk factors below occur, our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the value and marketability of the common stock could decline.

 

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

Because we have a limited operating history to evaluate our company, the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delay frequently encountered by a new company.

 

We have a limited operating history. As of April 30, 2016, we had cash on hand of $190,000 and $1,301,000 rental properties and properties under development. At that same date our liabilities totaled $3,093,000. On April 30, 2016, we had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,297,000.

 

The Company will require additional funding to execute its future strategic business plan. Successful business operations and its transition to attaining profitability is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support its cost structure. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

If we need additional capital to fund our growing operations, we may not be able to obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to limit the scope of our operations.

 

The severe recession, freezing of the global credit markets and the decline in the stock market which continues to affect smaller companies like us may adversely affect our ability to raise capital if we need additional working capital. Because we have not reported profitable operations to date, we may need to raise working capital. If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms or at all, we may not be able to undertake expansion, and we will have to modify our business plans accordingly.

 

Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments will dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

 

Risks Associated with Our Real Estate Operations in the United States

 

Because our business plan is to acquire residential housing, we are subject to all of the risks which affect residential real estate including the current severe decline.

 

Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk and are relatively illiquid. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of our property and any properties acquired in the future. These factors include changes in the national, regional and local economic climates, local conditions such as, the attractiveness of our properties to residents, competition from other available property owners and changes in market rental rates. Our performance also will depend on our ability to collect rent from residents and to pay for adequate maintenance, insurance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes, which could increase over time. Sources of labor and materials required for maintenance, repair, capital expenditure or development may be more expensive than anticipated. Also, the expenses of owning and operating a property are not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property.

Because real estate properties are illiquid and may be difficult to sell, particularly in a poor market environment like the present, we face future difficulties in selling these properties and may not be able to sell them at a profit.

 

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid, which limits our ability to react quickly to adverse changes in economic or other market conditions. Our ability to dispose of assets in the future will depend on prevailing economic and market conditions. The current credit crunch may make it particularly difficult to sell our properties, because interested buyers may be unable to obtain the financing they need. We may be unable to sell our properties when we would prefer to do so to raise capital we need to fund our planned development and construction program or to fund distributions to investors.

 

As a company investing in residential real estate, we face leasing risks in our proposed residential real estate investment program.

 

Our success will depend in part on leasing to residents or tenants with acceptable terms. If our residential apartment homes, condominiums or houses are not leased on schedule and on the expected terms and conditions, the returns on the property could be adversely affected. Whether or not residential tenants are willing to enter into leases on the terms and conditions we project and on the timetable we expect will depend on a large variety of factors, many of which are outside our control.

 

Because our business model is to acquire residential property in the Detroit, Michigan area, we are subject to risks that affect that local area.

 

General economic conditions and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect real property income and capital appreciation in the greater Detroit market. The current economic climate, punctuated by a slumping housing market and rapid tightening of available credit, has resulted in a weak real estate market in this area, and these conditions may continue or become more severe in the future. In particular, unemployment is higher than in other areas of the United States.

 

Because of environmental laws, we may have liability under environmental laws even though we did not violate these laws.

 

Under federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, we may be required to investigate and clean up the effects of releases of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at our properties, regardless of our knowledge or responsibility, simply because of our current or past ownership or operation of the real estate. If environmental problems arise, we may have to take extensive measures to remedy the problems, which could adversely affect our cash flow and operating results. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products and the failure to remediate that contamination properly may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell, or lease an affected property. In addition, applicable environmental laws create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination.

 

As an owner of real property, we will face risks related to ownership including mold and Chinese drywall.

 

Recently, there have been a large number of lawsuits against owners and managers of properties alleging personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold in real estate. Some of these lawsuits have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future for mold-related claims at a commercially reasonable price or at all. The presence of significant mold could expose us to liability to residents, tenants, and others if allegations regarding property damage, health concerns, or similar claims arise. Remediation of mold is expensive and involves hiring a specialty contractor and may involve extensive renovations, which costs cannot be passed on to tenants. Additionally, although still evolving, drywall from China has posed a major health risk and has rendered homes uninhabitable. This problem is relatively new and still evolving. We do not know if it will affect properties in our target market. If it affects properties we acquire, we will incur substantial remediation costs and the loss of income.

Failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act or other similar laws could result in substantial costs.

 

A number of federal, state, and local laws and regulations (including the Americans with Disabilities Act) may require modifications to existing buildings or restrict certain renovations by requiring improved access to such buildings by disabled persons and may require other structural features that add to the cost of buildings under construction. Legislation or regulations adopted in the future may impose further burdens or restrictions on us with respect to improved access by disabled persons. The costs of compliance with these laws and regulations may be substantial, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation.

 

Risks Associated With Our Proposed Property Development in Baja Mexico

 

International operations expose us to political, economic and currency risks.

 

With regard to our investments in properties located in Mexico, we are subject to the risks of doing business abroad, including,

 

  Currency fluctuations;
     
  Changes in tariffs and taxes; and
     
  Political and economic instability.

 

Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the relative costs of operations in Mexico, and may affect the cost of developing the properties, thus possibly adversely affecting our profitability.

 

In addition, there are inherent risks for the foreseeable future of conducting business internationally. Language barriers, foreign laws and tariff and taxation issues all have a potential negative effect on our ability to transact business. Changes in tariffs or taxes applicable to investments in foreign operations may adversely affect our profitability. Political instability may increase the difficulties and costs of doing business. We may be subject to the jurisdiction of the government and/or private litigants in foreign countries where we transact business, and may be forced to expend funds to contest legal matters in those countries in disputes with those governments or with customers or suppliers.

 

Property development in Mexico has many regulatory uncertainties.

 

Our property investments in Mexico are subject to numerous risks beyond our control.  Decisions to purchase, explore, develop or otherwise exploit prospects or properties in which we have invested will depend in part on the evaluation of data obtained through geophysical and geological analyses, water production data and engineering studies, the results of which are often inconclusive or subject to varying interpretations.   Overruns in budgeted expenditures are common risks that can make a particular project uneconomical.  Further, many factors may curtail, delay or cancel development of these properties, including the following:

 

  delays imposed by or resulting from compliance with regulatory requirements;
     
  shortages of or delays in obtaining qualified personnel or equipment;
     
  equipment failures or accidents; and
     
  adverse weather conditions, such as hurricanes and storms.

 

The presence of one or a combination of these factors at our properties could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We are subject to complex laws that can affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.

 

The development of real estate is subject to extensive federal and provincial regulation in Mexico.  We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with governmental regulations.  Matters subject to regulation include:  

 

  water production permits;

 

 6 

 

 

  reports concerning operations;
     
  the spacing of wells;
     
  unitization and pooling of properties; and
     
  taxation.

 

Under these laws, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage and other damages.  Failure to comply with these laws also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties.  Moreover, these laws could change in ways that could substantially increase our costs.  Any such liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Operations of properties in which we have investments may incur substantial liabilities to comply with environmental laws and regulations.

 

The properties in which we have invested are subject to stringent federal and provincial laws and regulations relating to the release or disposal of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection.  These laws and regulations may require an environmental impact study before development commences; and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of penalties or the incurrence of investigatory or remedial obligations.  

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

Since we expect to incur expenses in excess of revenues for the near future, we may not become profitable and your investment may be lost.

 

We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We had minimal revenues in our fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, and may never be profitable. If we become profitable, we may be unable to sustain profitability. As a result, your investment in our securities may be lost.

 

Due to factors beyond our control, our stock price may be volatile.

 

The market price for our common stock has been highly volatile at times. As long as the future market for our common stock is limited, investors who purchase our common stock may only be able to sell them at a loss.

 

Because we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms, it could have a material impact upon the price of our common stock.

 

It is not likely that securities analysts of major brokerage firms will provide research coverage for our common stock since the firm itself cannot recommend the purchase of our common stock under the penny stock rules referenced in an earlier risk factor. The absence of such coverage limits the likelihood that an active market will develop for our common stock. It may also make it more difficult for us to attract new investors at times when we require additional capital.

 

Our bylaws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.

 

Our bylaws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by them, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which they are made parties by reason of their being or having been our directors or officers.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company and any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in our stock’s price, which may never happen.

 

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

 

Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.

 

Our shares as penny stocks, are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our company’s securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules require brokers who sell “penny stocks” to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the secondary market for our shares of common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our shares of common stock.

 

 7 

 

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

OUR BUSINESS

 

The purchase of a condominium unit on July 28, 2009 initiated our planned new business operations directed at purchasing income-producing residential real estate apartment homes, condominiums and houses in the State of Michigan. Our business model since our initial property purchases has been to acquire, refurbish and upgrade existing properties into more environmentally sustainable, energy efficient, comfortable and healthier living spaces so that they meet standards that exceed what is often the norm for most single family homes, condominiums and apartments. Once a property has been acquired, refurbished and rented, the property would be put back on the market, but now as a fully managed investment property, with a favorable environmental profile and yield. These investment properties are marketed exclusively by ProGreen Realty LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProGreen and managed by Progreen Properties Management LLC, another wholly owned subsidiary.

 

On July 19, 2013, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with American Residential Fastigheter AB (“AMREFA”), which provided for 100% property acquisition and refurbishment financing by in the form of property loans, and that the properties would show a minimum initial return of 9.5% per annum and then be sold income producing investment properties, managed by ProGreen.  Effective December 22, 2014 the Company entered into an interim operating agreement (the “Interim PAJV Operating Agreement”) with American Residential GAP, LLC (“ARG” or “ARG LLC”) to form PAJV LLC (“PAJV”), a Michigan limited liability company. AMREFA is ARG’s sole member. The Company and ARG each owned 50% of PAJV. There were no capital contributions. During the year ended April 30, 2015 the Company sold its remaining property under development in the amount of $73,688 to PAJV. The selling price was $75,000. Our agreement with AMREFA was restructured through a March 15, 2015, amendment to the Investment Agreement with AMREFA, superseding the December 2014 Interim PAJV Operating Agreement. The amendment provided for ARG LLC (the U.S. real estate subsidiary of AMREFA) to fund 100% of all financing requirements for real estate projects, which would be owned by specific joint ventures or ARG LLC, with Progreen handling everything from acquisition to sale and receiving a profit participation payment for a return on the property above 9.5%.

 

Purchase of Investment Properties from AMREFA

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company restructured its working arrangements with AMREFA through entry into a purchase agreement, amended March 16, 2016, with AMREFA for the purchase of a 100% interest in AMREFA’s U.S. subsidiary, ARG LLC, which holds real estate properties in Birmingham, Michigan, that were purchased by AMREFA and which the Company managed for AMREFA. The Company paid the purchase price by the issuance to AMREFA of 8,093,541 shares of a new Series B Preferred Stock; however, at April 30, 2016 the shares had not been issued and we recorded a note payable to AMREFA in the amount $1,157,270 including a present value discount of $127,730.

 

The Company believes that the AMREFA transactions will contribute substantially to our financial liquidity in our real estate operations in Michigan.

 

Baja California Joint Venture Agreement

 

In connection with expanding our real estate development operations to include Baja California, Mexico, on February 12, 2016, we signed a definitive joint venture agreement with INMOBILIARIA CONTEL S.R.L.C.V. for the first tract of land of approximately 300 acres for agriculture use, as well as a Debt Mortgage Guarantee for the initial amount of $300,000 for the joint venture.

 

The agreement provides for Contel to contribute the land to the JV at extremely low cost and favorable terms, as well as handling all planning, permits, preparation and construction, in order for the property to be marketed as prime farm land. Progreen will be responsible for providing the financing. Resulting profits from the resale of the property as developed farm land will be split equally between the two parties. Work on this first tract of land has already commenced, which will include clearing and levelling of the land, construction of a large water reservoir and piping for irrigation. Water pumps will be powered by solar energy for sustainability. We anticipate completing the work over the coming two months, in order to offer the land for sale for this season’s farming.

 

We have established Procon Baja JV, our joint venture subsidiary with Contel. Procon is owned by Progreen (51%) and Contel (49%) jointly. The company is managed by a board of Managing Directors consisting of three members. Two will be representing Progreen and one representing Contel. At least two Managing Directors’ approval will be needed for management decisions or approvals of financial transactions, giving Progreen operational control. This joint venture involves approximately 1,900 acres, with some 500-800 acres suitable for farming, depending on the amount of water that could be extracted through the drilling of fresh water wells.

Increase in Authorized Common Stock

 

On February 9, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000, par value $.0001 per share to 1,500,000,000, par value $.0001 per share.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

At April 30, 2016, we had total assets of $1,796,000 compared to total assets of $164,000 at April 30, 2015. The increase in total assets was primarily due to: an increase in cash of $91,000, the acquisition of rental properties in the amount $1,007,000 and properties under development in the amount of $294,000 as a result of the ARG purchase, which also resulted in the Goodwill of $180,000. Note Receivable – Related Party increased $110,000 as a result of Progreens’ investment in Contel.

 

These increases in assets were offset by: a decrease in accounts receivables in the amount of $26,000 relating to a decrease of $25,000 in amounts due to Progreen Construction for work performed under the Company’s agreement with ARG LLC and a decrease of $1,000 in amounts due from tenants for properties managed by Progreen Management. Also, other receivable related party decreased $1,100, the note receivable - rental property in the amount of approximately $2,100 was written off as it was deemed uncollectible, prepaid expenses decreased approximately $3,300, deposits decreased $4,100 as the office space lease expired and was replaced with a new lease with a $1,000 deposit, property and equipment decreased approximately $13,000 due to the sale of a vehicle and current year depreciation expense.

 

At April 30, 2016, we had stockholders’ deficit of $1,297,000 compared to a deficit of $1,032,000 as of April 30, 2015. The increase in stockholders’ deficit was mainly due to net operating losses of $852,000 which was offset by compensation expense relating to RSUs of approximately $11,500, an amount received from a subscriber under a stock subscription agreement of approximately $54,000, stock issued under convertible debenture of approximately $156,000, a derivative liability of $312,000 and stock issued under service agreements of approximately $53,500 in the year ended April 30, 2016.

 

Costs incurred in the renovation of the properties that enhance the value or extend the life of the properties are capitalized. The Company also incurred professional fees in implementing its business plan and preparing to sell properties in the future. During the current year, the Company acquired thirteen rental properties in the amount of 1,007,000 and one property under development in the amount of $294,000. No costs to develop were incurred in fiscal 20116. The Company owned thirteen and no rental properties as of April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company held one and no properties under development as of April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2016, have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred losses from operations since its change of ownership, management and line of business on April 30, 2009.  Management recognizes successful business operations and the Company’s transition to attaining profitability are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support its cost structure. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of uncertainties.

 

The Company will require additional funding to execute its future strategic business plan. Successful business operations and its transition to attaining profitability are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support its cost structure. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Year Ended April 30, 2016 Compared to Year Ended April 30, 2015

 

During the year ended April 30, 2016, we incurred a net loss of $852,000 compared to a net loss of $407,000 for the year ended April 30, 2015. The increase in our loss for the year ended April 30, 2016 over the comparable period of the prior year is due to a decrease in our revenue of approximately $273,000, an decrease of approximately $121,000 in operating expenses and an increase in net other expenses of approximately $295,000.

 

The decrease of approximately $273,000 in revenue in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 is due to: Proceeds from the sale of properties decreased to $0 as compared to $200,000 during the prior fiscal year. The Company sold two properties in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 and there were no such sales during the current fiscal year. Proceeds from the sale of properties, related party decreased to $0 as compared to $75,000 during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 due to a decrease in proceeds from the sale of one property in the amount of $75,000 to PAJV, a related party in the prior fiscal year. There were no such sales during the current year.

 

Commission revenue decreased to $0 as compared to approximately $83,000 during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015. The Company received commissions on the sale of three Company owned properties and on one managed property in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015. There were no such commissions earned during the current fiscal year.

 

Revenue also decreased due to a decrease in revenue from construction services, related party from approximately $24,000 in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 to $0 in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, as a result of the Company’s services to PAJV, a related party. Effective March 15, 2015 the Company is no longer an owner in PAJV, thus there were no such sales in the current fiscal year.

 

The decrease in revenue was partially offset by an increase in construction services revenue which increased from $92,000 in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 to approximately $177,000 in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, as a result of the Company’s formation of the construction company subsidiary and its services to ARG LLC. Rental revenue increased from $0 in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 to approximately $24,000 in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, as a result of the Company’s rental properties acquired in connection with the ARG purchase.

 

There have been fluctuations in certain expenses in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, as compared to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015. In fiscal year ended April 30, 2016 cost of properties sold decreased to $0 as compared to approximately $170,000 in the year ended April 30, 2015 due to the sale of no properties in the current year. In the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016 cost of properties sold, related party decreased to $0 as compared to approximately $74,000 in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 due to the sale of one property to PAJV in the prior fiscal year. There were no properties sold to PAJV in the current fiscal year.

 

Cost of construction services increased from $84,000 in the year ended April 30, 2015 to approximately $178,000 in the year ended April 30, 2016, as a result of the Company’s formation of the construction company subsidiary and its services to ARG LLC. In the year ended April 30, 2016 cost of construction services, related party decreased from approximately $22,000 in the year ended April 30, 2015 to $0 in the year ended April 30, 2016. The costs incurred in the prior period related to the Company’s services to PAJV, a related party. Effective March 15, 2015 the Company is no longer an owner in PAJV, thus there were no such costs in the current fiscal year.

  

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased approximately $32,000 for the year ended April 30, 2016 as compared to the comparable prior year mainly due to the following:

 

Compensation expense decreased approximately $21,200 for the year ended April 30, 2016 as compared to the comparable prior year. This decrease is attributable to a former Director’s expired restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and to the full vesting of a portion of other RSUs in June of fiscal 2016.

  

The reserve for rent guarantee decreased to a recovery of approximately $10,000 for the year ended April 30, 2016 as compared to expense of approximately $5,800 in the same period in fiscal 2015 as there were no sales of rental properties in the current year and the rental guarantees on two prior period property sales expired with no payment required resulting in a credit of approximately $10,000.

 

 14 

 

 

Selling, general and administrative expense also decreased approximately $6,200 due to decreased Company activity in the current year.

 

These decreases were partially offset by increases in certain expenses: Rental operating costs increased approximately $7,300 and depreciation expense increased approximately $4,600, for the year ended April 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2015 due to the acquisition of rental properties in the ARG purchase.

 

Professional fees increased approximately $83,000 for the year ended April 30, 2016 as compared to the comparable prior year mainly due to increased consulting and legal fees paid in connection with activities relating to the Company’s funding sources and ongoing search for equity and financing sources for the year ended April 30, 2016.

 

Interest expense increased approximately $132,000 for the year ended April 30, 2016 as compared to the comparable prior year mainly due to increased debt and convertible debt during the current year and the related interest and amortization of debt discounts for the year ended April 30, 2016.

 

Gain on sale of asset increased from $0 in the comparable prior year to approximately $8,100 for the year ended April 30, 2016 due to the sale of a vehicle in the current year.

 

Derivatives loss increased from $0 in the comparable prior year to approximately $171,000 for the year ended April 30, 2016 due to the derivatives loss on the tainting of convertible debt in the current year.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

At April 30, 2016, we had total assets of approximately $1,796,000 compared to total assets of approximately $164,000 at April 30, 2015. The increase in total assets was primarily due to: an increase in cash of $91,000, the acquisition of rental properties in the amount $1,007,000 and properties under development in the amount of $294,000 as a result of the ARG purchase, which also resulted in the Goodwill of $180,000. Note Receivable- Related Party increased $110,000 as a result of Progreen’s investment in Contel.

 

These increases in assets were offset by: a decrease in accounts receivables in the amount of $26,000 relating to a decrease of $25,000 in amounts due to Progreen Construction for work performed under the Company’s agreement with ARG LLC and a decrease of $1,000 in amounts due from tenants for properties managed by Progreen Management. Also, other receivable related party decreased $1,100, the note receivable - rental property in the amount of approximately $2,100 was written off as it was deemed uncollectible, prepaid expenses decreased approximately $3,300, deposits decreased $4,100 as the lease expired and was replaced with a new lease with a $1,000 deposit, property and equipment decreased approximately $12,000 due to the sale of a vehicle and current year depreciation expense.

 

Cash increased approximately $91,000 for the year ended April 30, 2016.   Cash used in operating activities was approximately $364,000 for the year ended April 30, 2016, as compared with cash used in operating activities of approximately $308,000 in fiscal 2015. During fiscal 2016, the Company invested approximately $110,000 in Contel, which was offset by proceeds from the sale of properties of $10,000 and by cash received in the ARG acquisition of approximately $72,000.

 

The Company received $68,000 in proceeds from two convertible debentures, received approximately $138,000 from a line of credit as result of the ARG acquisition, received advances from related parties in the amount of $259,000 and received $54,000 from a subscriber due under a stock subscription agreement and repaid $7,700 on obligations under capital leases and repaid $28,200 in notes payable.

 

At April 30, 2016, we had stockholders’ deficit of approximately $1,297,000.

We have limited working capital.  EIG Venture Capital Ltd. (“EIG”), a company controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Jan Telander, agreed to invest $1,000,000 through the purchase of 97,751,710 shares of common stock for $0.01023 per share in three tranches. On July 21, 2009, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with EIG Venture Capital, Ltd. (“EIG”), an investment company controlled by Jan Telander, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and controlling stockholder for the sale by the Company to EIG of an aggregate of 97,751,710 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a fixed price of $0.01023 per share, in three tranches: the Phase I tranche consisted of 5,767,350 shares of Common Stock to be purchased by EIG on or before July 16, 2009; the Phase II tranche of 43,108,504 shares to be purchased by EIG on or before December 31, 2009; and the Phase III tranche of 48,875,855 shares of Common Stock to be purchased by EIG on or before July 16, 2010. On June 1, 2010, the Company received $400,000 of the Phase III tranche and issued 39,100,684 shares to EIG. Under a December 1, 2009 Amendment to the Subscription Agreement, EIG paid penalty interest at a rate of 13.5% per annum on the unpaid balance as of the final purchase date of the Phase III shares from that date to the date the shares were purchased. In December 2014, the Company received $50,000 of the remaining Phase III $100,000 purchase price balance and $59,120 of related interest. The remaining balance of the purchase price in the amount of $54,000 was received on July 3, 2015 to complete payment of the Phase III purchase price.

 

EIG on July 14, 2015, advanced the Company $46,000. In November 2015 EIG advanced the Company an additional $13,000.

 

Pursuant to an Instalment Payment Agreement entered into on June 25, 2015 with AMREFA, the Company refinanced its outstanding principal and interest on loans to the Company from AMREFA. This agreement replaced all outstanding notes by a single 8% promissory note in the principal amount of $289,246, due July 15, 2017, amortized by instalment payments of principal and interest commencing with an initial payment in July 2015 of $45,000, including accrued interest. EIG has guaranteed Progreen’s obligations under the Instalment Payment Agreement.

 

During fiscal 2016 the Company issued common stock in settlement of all convertible debentures.

 

In the current fiscal year, to continue purchasing properties for renovation, the Company is looking to AMREFA and other financing sources to provide the necessary capital.  With any purchases of larger apartment complex properties, we estimate that we will be required to find investment partners to provide financing in the range of $5 million to $25 million over the next 12-24 months.

 

Restructure of Rupes Futura and AMREFA Debt

 

On February 9, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a new series of preferred stock, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1.00 per share, and we filed a Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware on February 17, 2016. Also, effective on February 9, 2016, our Board approved and the Company entered into two agreements with the Company’s largest stockholder, EIG, to reduce the amount of the Company’s outstanding debt, and improve our balance sheet. First, EIG assumed all of the Company’s obligations under the 13.5% convertible debenture of the Company due to Rupes Futura AB (Sweden), which has agreed to assumption of the convertible debenture obligations by EIG. The outstanding principal of the debenture, together with two years of accumulated unpaid interest, totaled $608,031, and EIG was compensated by the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a total stated value equal to that of the principal and accrued interest of the debt assumed. Second, the Company negotiated a debt conversion agreement effective February 9, 2016 with EIG, under which $59,000 of non-interest bearing advances made to the Company by EIG in July and November 2015 were converted into shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a total stated value of $59,000.

 

Subscription Agreements for Shares of Series A Preferred Stock

 

In February 2016, the Company entered into subscription agreements with three stockholders, Jan Telander, the Company’s President and CEO; Ulf Telander, the CEO of EIG; and Frederic Telander, the CEO of SolTech Energy Sweden AB, providing for the investment in the Company by each of the three stockholders of $100,000 through the purchase of 100,000 shares each of Series A Preferred Stock. During the last quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company received $200,000 as payment for 200,000 of the shares. The shares were issued subsequent to April 30, 2016 thus the Company recorded an amount due stockholders in the amount of $200,000. The remaining 100,000 shares in the amount of $100,000 were purchased subsequent to April 30, 2016.

Equity Line Financing

 

On June 23, 2016, the Company entered into $5,000,000 equity line financing agreement (“Investment Agreement”) with Tangiers Global, LLC, Dorado, Puerto Rico. The financing is over a maximum of 36 months. A maximum of 100 million (100,000,000) shares of our common stock will be registered for this financing. 

 

We have issued to Tangiers in connection with the execution of the Investment Agreement a commitment fee of a five-year warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $.02 per share, and Tangiers has provided financing to us for our legal costs in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement through a one-year $22,000 convertible debenture, due June 23, 2017, convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $.03 per share.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The summary of critical accounting policies below should be read in conjunction with the discussion of the Company’s accounting policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2016. We consider the following accounting policy to be the most critical going forward:

 

Basis of Presentation - The Company’s financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2016, have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of uncertainties.

 

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We based our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we will evaluate our accounting policies and disclosure practices as necessary.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

ProGreen US, Inc.

Bloomfield, MI

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ProGreen US, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of April 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule III as listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and financial statements schedule 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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company 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 ProGreen US, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of April 30, 2016 and 2015 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception and further losses are anticipated. These conditions raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1. Financial Statement Presentation

 

The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representations of management. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

History and nature of business

 

ProGreen US, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) own and manage residential real estate rental property in the Oakland County, Michigan area.  

 

On April 30, 2009, the Company (formerly known as Diversified Product Inspections, Inc.) ceased previous operations and settled an outstanding lawsuit which resulted in a change of ownership and management. Following the settlement on April 30, 2009, the Company had no assets, no liabilities, and had 13,645,990 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

On July 21, 2009, the Company formed ProGreen Properties, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary and merged ProGreen Properties, Inc. into the Company, which was the surviving corporation in the merger.  In connection with the merger, the Company changed its name from Diversified Product Inspections, Inc. to ProGreen Properties, Inc.  The change of the Company’s name to ProGreen Properties, Inc. became effective on September 11, 2009 with approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) as effective for trading purposes in the OTC Bulletin Board market under the new symbol PGEI. Pursuant to Board of Directors authorization, the Company changed its name to Progreen US, Inc. with the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 11, 2016, which was approved by FINRA effective for trading purposes on July 22, 2016.

 

In December 2009, ProGreen Realty LLC (“ProGreen Realty”) was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. ProGreen Realty acts as the real estate broker for the Company. All assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

On October 31, 2011 ProGreen Properties Management LLC (“Properties Management”) was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which manages the Company owned properties as well as certain of the sold properties under management agreements. All assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

These investment properties are marketed exclusively by ProGreen Realty and managed by ProGreen Management. As of April 30, 2015 the Company owned no investment properties.

 

Effective December 22, 2014 the Company entered into an interim operating agreement (the “Interim PAJV Operating Agreement”) with American Residential GAP, LLC (“ARG” or “ARG LLC”) to form PAJV LLC (“PAJV”), a Michigan limited liability company. American Residential Fastigheter AB (“AMREFA”) is ARG’s sole member. The Company and ARG each owned 50% of PAJV. There were no capital contributions. PAJV will acquire, own, operate, improve and hold for sale real estate properties under development. PAJV will fund the purchases of properties with loans from ARG. During fiscal 2015 PAJV sold three leased properties to ARG LLC effective February 1, 2015, and sold a fourth property to ARG LLC in March 2015. Our agreement with AMREFA was restructured through a March 15, 2015, amendment to the Investment Agreement with AMREFA, superseding the December 2014 Interim PAJV Operating Agreement. As of this date the Company is no longer a 50% owner of the PAJV. The amendment provides for ARG LLC (the U.S. real estate subsidiary) to fund 100% of all financing requirements for real estate projects, which would be owned by specific joint ventures or ARG LLC, with Progreen handling everything from acquisition to sale and receiving a profit participation payment for a return on the property above 9.5%.

Note 1. Financial Statement Presentation – continued

 

In January 2015, ProGreen Construction LLC (“ProGreen Construction”) was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. ProGreen Construction performs all construction and development services for the properties held under development. During the year ended April 30, 2015 ProGreen Construction recognized construction costs of $21,855 and provided construction services to the PAJV, while the Company was a 50% owner of the PAJV, in the amount of $24,040 relating to one of PAJV’s properties under development. ProGreen Construction charges PAJV ten percent of materials and services costs as an administrative fee. This fee totaled $2,185 for the year ended April 30, 2015.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2015 the Company spent approximately $137,000 to acquire and/or develop three properties, all of which were sold during 2015 with cash proceeds of $75,000.

 

On February 12, 2016, Progreen signed a definitive joint venture agreement with INMOBILIARIA CONTEL S.R.L.C.V. (“CONTEL”) to form a joint venture (“Baja Joint Venture”), in connection with expanding our real estate development operations to include Baja California, Mexico. We have committed to a contribution up to the amount of $ 350,000 and in April 2016 we contributed $110,000 to Baja Joint Venture. See Note 6.

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company restructured its working arrangements with AMREFA through entry into a purchase agreement, amended March 16, 2016, with AMREFA for the purchase of AMREFA’s U.S. subsidiary, ARG LLC, which holds real estate properties in Birmingham, Michigan, that were purchased by AMREFA and which we have managed for AMREFA. The purchase price was paid by the issuance to AMREFA of 8,093,541 shares of a new Series B Preferred Stock however at April 30, 2016 the shares have not been issued and we recorded a note payable to AMREFA in the amount $1,157,270 including a present value discount of $127,730. At April 30, 2016 the amortized balance due AMREFA totaled $1,170,811. See Notes 5, 15 and 25.

 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2016, have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred losses from operations since its change of ownership, management and line of business on April 30, 2009.  Management recognizes successful business operations and the Company’s transition to attaining profitability are dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support its cost structure. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of uncertainties.

 

The Company will continue to incur costs that are necessary for it to remain an active public company.  In the current fiscal year, the Company used approximately $364,000 of cash to support its operations and such cash needs are expected to continue in the upcoming year.  As of April 30, 2016, the Company has approximately $190,000 in cash. During the year ended April 30, 2016 the Company financed its operations through issuance of common shares for services rendered, proceeds from related party advances, proceeds from collection of amounts due under the stock subscription agreement and issuance of convertible debt.

PROGREEN US, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2016

 

Note 1. Financial Statement Presentation – continued

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and records of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: ProGreen Realty, Progreen Properties Management, ProGreen Construction, ARG, LLC and Procon Baja JV. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” requires a company’s consolidated financial statements to include subsidiaries in which the company has a controlling financial interest. This requirement usually has been applied to subsidiaries in which a company has a majority voting interest. Currently, all of the Company’s subsidiaries are wholly-owned.

 

Estimates

 

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

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and trade receivables. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times such cash may be in excess of the FDIC limit. With respect to trade receivables, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists solely of cash on deposit with financial institutions.

 

Properties under development

 

Properties under development are recorded at cost from expenditures relating to the acquisition, development, construction, and other costs that enhance the value or extend the life of rental properties which are capitalized using the specific identification method to accumulate costs.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts is management’s best estimate of the probable credit losses in the exiting accounts receivable. Management determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and an understanding of customer payment history. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period that determination is made. Management considers all accounts receivable collectible and, therefore, an allowance for doubtful accounts has not been recorded at April 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Note receivable – rental property

 

The note receivable was carried at amortized cost. Interest income on the note receivable was recognized on the accrual basis based on the principal balance outstanding. During the current fiscal year management determined the note is uncollectible and it was written off in full.

Goodwill

 

The cost of acquiring ARG in excess of the underlying fair value of net assets at date of acquisition is recorded as goodwill and is assessed annually for impairment. If considered impaired, goodwill will be written down to fair value and a corresponding impairment loss recognized The Company performed goodwill impairment testing for 2016 and it did not result in an impairment.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.

 

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the property and equipment, as follows:

 

   Lives  Method
Vehicles  5 years  Straight line
Furniture  10 years  Straight line
Office equipment  5 years  Straight line
Rental property  27.5 years  Straight line

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator exists, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the carrying amount of an asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, we would record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

 

Rental revenue recognition

 

Real estate properties are leased under operating leases. Rental income from these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease.

 

Management fee revenue recognition

 

ProGreen Management has entered into management agreements with certain property owners whereby the Company manages, leases, operates, maintains and repairs the properties for which it receives a management fee of ten percent of the monthly rent. Revenue is recognized as services are performed.

 

Construction service revenue recognition

 

ProGreen Construction performs all construction and development services for the properties held by the Company and collects ten percent of materials and services costs as construction revenue. Revenue is recognized as services are performed.

Property sales revenue recognition

 

Property sales revenue and related profit are generally recognized at the time of the closing of the sale, when title to and possession of the property are transferred to the buyer. In situations where the buyer's financing is provided by the Company and the buyer has not made an adequate initial or continuing investment as required by ASC 360-20, "Property, Plant, and Equipment - Real Estate Sales" ("ASC 360-20"), the profit on such sales is deferred or recognized under the installment method, unless there is a loss on the sale in which case the loss on such sale would be recognized at the time of closing. There were no such deferred amounts at either April 30, 2016 or 2015.

 

Advertising costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenditures for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $1,400 and $3,200, respectively.

 

Tenant deposits

 

The Company requires tenants to pay a deposit at the beginning of each lease. This deposit may be used for unpaid lease obligations or repair of damages based on the Company’s determination. If the tenant has not defaulted on the lease, the Company will return the deposit to the tenant at the end of the lease. The Company holds the tenant deposits for the properties under management.

 

Deferred revenue

 

The Company may require tenants to prepay rent. The prepaid rent is amortized over the term of the lease using the straight-line method. Deferred revenue is $0 at April 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model, in accordance with ASC 815-15 “Derivative and Hedging” to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates applicable to future years to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of reported assets and liabilities.

Earnings (loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share assumes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method of computing such effects and contingent shares, or conversion of convertible debt. There are no common stock equivalents as of April 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

 

Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provision of ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505”), which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to 2016 classifications.

 

Related Parties

 

In accordance with ASC 850 “Related Party Disclosures” a party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the “ASU”). The ASU requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The ASU allows for early adoption, however, management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In April 2015 the FASB issued Accounting Standard’s Update No. 2015-03 “Interest Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” The update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this update. The adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto as it is a presentation matter.

 

We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The Company also reduced the amount due to AMREFA by $135,000 in the form of noncash as a result of the Company’s sale of one property under development to PAJV, while the Company was a 50% owner in PAJV, during year ended April 30, 2015. In addition the Company reduced the accrued interest payable due to AMREFA in the amount of $20,219 in the form of noncash as a result of the sales of the three properties.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurement and Derivative Losses

 

The Company utilizes the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and discloses for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis during the reporting period.

 

The fair value is an exit price, representing 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.  The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers are defined as follows:  

 

  Level 1 -  Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets.
     
  Level 2  Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
     
  Level 3  Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

During fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, the Company held certain financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determined that the convertible feature of the convertible note should be classified as a derivative liability under ASC 815-15 – “Derivatives and Hedging”. The fair value of the embedded instrument were categorized as Level 3.

 

During fiscal 2016, $425,413 of derivative liability was recorded as the notes became convertible of which $140,925 was recorded as debt discount, $23,547 as loss on derivative liability and $260,941 as re-class of equity to liability.

 

Upon full conversion of the convertible notes, 147,354 was recorded as loss on derivative liability, $140,925 of debt discount was fully amortized, $212,694 re-class from derivative to equity and $360,073 was extinguished through equity from derivative liability.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities were determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the issuance dates with the assumptions in the table below.

 

Expected dividends  0%
Expected Volatility  166% - 676%
Stock price $ 0.001 - $ .01
Discount rate  .04% -. 77%

Note 16. Note Payable Related Party and Convertible Debenture

 

On November 5, 2009, the Company issued a 13.5% Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) to Rupes Futura AB (“RF”), an investment company controlled by Henrik Sellmann, a former director of the Company, providing for a loan to the Company of $500,000. The Debenture is due November 2014. Additionally, the Company issued to RF 500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company as a Commitment Fee. The value of the Common Stock at the time of issuance was $30,000 and is recorded as debt discount. The Commitment Fee is being amortized over five years, the term of the Debenture, using the effective interest method.

 

Interest is payable at an annual rate of 13.5%, payable annually in arrears in shares of Common Stock of the Company, valued at the Conversion Price (defined below) as of the due date of the interest payment or the Company, at its sole option, may elect to pay any interest payment on the Debenture in cash, such cash interest payment to be payable no later than one hundred eighty (180) days from the original interest payment due date. The Debenture is convertible in whole or in part into Common Stock at the option of RF at the Conversion Price at any time following the date that is two years from the Closing Date. If RF elects to convert any unpaid principal amount of the Debenture it shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock on conversion equal in value, at the Conversion Price, to 115% of the unpaid principal amount of the Debenture. The conversion feature has intrinsic value of $75,000 that is recorded as debt discount which was amortized over two years, the required holding period for RF, using the effective interest method. The debt discount was fully amortized as of April 30, 2016 and 2015. The effective interest rate on the Debenture as a result of the debt discounts noted above was 11.75% and 14.36% which resulted in interest expense of $48,591 and $71,500 for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. On February 6, 2015 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock were issued to RF pursuant to a partial conversion in the amount of $24,000 of the $500,000 convertible debenture. The conversion price was $0.004 per common share.

Note 19. Income Taxes

 

For tax purposes the Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers of $2,290,000 that are available to offset future taxable income. These NOL carryovers expire beginning in the year 2030. As a result of the Company’s reorganization, as further described in Note 1, the NOL carryovers generated prior to the reorganization are limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code resulting in no NOL carryover for the years prior to reorganization. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Net deferred tax assets  $-   $- 

 

The Company periodically assesses whether it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to reduce the deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of these assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income sufficient to offset the related deductions and NOL carryovers within the applicable carryover periods as previously discussed. Management is unsure of the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. As such, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the entire net deferred tax asset.

 

The effective rate used for estimation of deferred taxes was 15% for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

The tax years that remain subject to taxing authorities’ examination at April 30, 2016 are 2009 through 2016. The Company’s policy is to classify penalties and interest associated with uncertain tax positions, if required, as a component of its income tax provisions.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

Not applicable. 

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

As supervised by our board of directors and our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, management has established a system of disclosure controls and procedures and has evaluated the effectiveness of that system. The system and its evaluation are reported on in the below Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management in this evaluation has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(e)) as of April 30, 2016, are not effective, due to lack of segregation of duties, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2016. We carried out this assessment using the criteria of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Management concluded in this assessment that, as of April 30, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective and management’s evaluation was based on the following material weakness:

 

(1)Segregation of duties: The Company did not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of its accounting staff.
(2)Financial reporting system: The Company also did not maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system throughout the period and as a result, adjustments relating were required in order to produce financial statements for external reporting purposes.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm, pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of our April 30, 2016 fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On March 14, 2014, our Board of Directors elected Michael Hylander as a director of the Company to fill an existing vacancy on the Board of Directors. Henrik Sellmann resigned as a director on October 22, 2014.

 

Set forth below is a brief description of the background of each of our executive officers and directors, based on the information provided to us by them.

 

Jan Telander is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director. He has been the president of EIG Venture Capital Ltd (“EVC”) since 2001. EVC was founded by Mr. Telander and two other family members as a private investment company with an aim to purchase early stage companies and build these into larger entities with a view to seek exit through public listing on a suitable stock exchange. From 2001 until May 31, 2008, Mr. Telander was a member of the Board of Directors of Gas Turbine Efficiency, Inc., a former EIG portfolio company.

 

Michael Hylander has been with Repco S.L., Madrid, Spain, which represents in Spain and Portugal international food processing and packaging machinery manufacturers, and is currently its General Manager and a partner.

From 1980 to 1984 he was with several international companies and had responsibilities for sales and marketing. He received a baccalaureate from Sigtuna Humanistiska Läroverk, Sigtuna, Sweden, in 1976, and completed his Swedish military service in 1977-1978. He received a degree in business administration from Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden in 1980, and a Masters in Business Administration from Insead Fontainbleau, Fontainbleau, France in 1985. Mr. Hylander is a first cousin of Jan Telander, our Chief Executive Officer.

 

Christina M. Lombera is the corporate Secretary of our Company and has, since inception, been the Principal Broker for ProGreen Realty, our real estate brokerage subsidiary.  With over twenty years experience as a paralegal in real estate, corporate, estate planning and litigation, Ms. Lombera has managed complex real estate and corporate transactions. She has also handled a wide variety of document preparations, due diligence and corporate governance, as well as extensive legal research, writing and estate planning.

Ms. Lombera is a dedicated ProGreen Team member.  Ms. Lombera graduated as a paralegal with a Business Degree from Cañada College, California in 1993.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Directors are elected at the annual stockholder meeting or appointed by our Board of Directors and serve for one year or until their successors are elected and qualified. When a new director is appointed to fill a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, that director holds office until the next election of one or more directors by stockholders. Officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and their terms of office are at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

 

Committees of our Board of Directors

 

Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors plans to establish an Audit Committee, the members of which shall be considered as independent under the standards for independence for audit committee members established by the NYSE. The Audit Committee will operate under a written charter.

 

Other Committees. The Board does not have standing compensation or nominating committees. The Board does not believe a compensation or nominating committee is necessary based on the size of the Company, the current levels of compensation to corporate officers and the beneficial ownership by Jan Telander of in excess of 82% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Board will consider establishing compensation and nominating committees at the appropriate time.

Stockholder Communications

 

The Board has not established a formal process for stockholders to send communications, including director nominations, to the Board; however, the names of all directors are available to stockholders in this report. Any stockholder may send a communication to any member of the Board of Directors, in care of the Company, at 6443 Inkster Road, Suite 170-D, Bloomfield Township, MI 48301 (Attention: Secretary). Director nominations submitted by a stockholder will be considered by the full Board. Due to the infrequency of stockholder communications to the Board, the Board does not believe that a more formal process is necessary. However, the Board will consider, from time to time, whether adoption of a more formal process for such stockholder communications has become necessary or appropriate.

 

Other Information about our Board of Directors

 

During our fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, our Board of Directors acted by written consent times.

 

We do not have a formal policy on attendance at meetings of our shareholders; however, we encourage all Board members to attend shareholder meetings that are held in conjunction with a meeting of our Board of Directors.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our director, executive officer and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our outstanding common stock to file reports with the SEC regarding initial statement of ownership, statement of changes of ownership and, where applicable, annual statement of ownership of our common stock. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all such statements they file. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, we believe that all required filings under Section 16(a) have been made by our officers and directors, except that Michael Hylander was elected to our Board of Directors on March 14, 2014 and has not as of the date of this report filed the Form 3 due March 24, 2014.

Director Compensation

 

Effective June 1, 2012, our Board of Directors approved the award of restricted stock units under the Plan to our two directors and one employee as follows: an award of 3,000,000 restricted stock units to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jan Telander; an award of 600,000 restricted stock units to Henrik Sellmann, a director of the Company; and an award of 600,000 restricted stock units to the Secretary of the Company who is the manager of our real estate subsidiary. Effective December 3, 2012 Company retained a Controller to whom 600,000 RSUs were issued as part of his initial remuneration package. Effective June 1, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 600,000 RSUs to Michael Hylander, who was elected to our Board of Directors on March 14, 2014.

 

 22 

 

 

Restricted Stock Unit Agreements

 

The restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were awarded pursuant to restricted stock unit agreements (“RSU Agreement”), which provide for a period of five years from the date of the award during which, once vesting conditions are satisfied, that the shares of our common stock underlying the RSU at the option of the holder of the RSU can be released. The vesting conditions set forth in the three RSU Agreements approved June 1, 2012 are as follows:

 

The interest of the holder of the RSU’s pursuant to a RSU Agreement shall become non-forfeitable or vested in 1/3 increments on the later of (i) the first, second and third anniversary dates of the grant of the award, and (ii) the trading price of our common stock for a period of twenty days having equaled or exceeded $0.15 per share for the first annual vesting date, $0.25 per share for the second annual vesting date, and $0.35 per share for the third annual vesting date.

 

Employment Agreements

 

Neither the Company, nor any of our subsidiaries, has entered into an employment contract with a named executive officer. Furthermore, we do not, nor do any of our subsidiaries, anticipate entering into an employment contract with any named executive officer in the near future.

 

Employee Benefit Plans

 

On April 30, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted and approved the Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which has been approved by our stockholders.

 

Description of the Plan

 

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan set forth in the exhibit to this report.

 

Under the Plan, options may be granted which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or which are not ("Non-ISOs") intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options thereunder. The Plan also provides for restricted stock awards representing shares of common stock (“Restricted Shares”) that are issued subject to such restrictions on transfer and other incidents of ownership and such forfeiture conditions as the Committee (as defined below) may determine ("Restricted Stock Awards"). In connection with issuance of any Restricted Shares, the Committee may (but shall not be obligated to) require the payment of a specified purchase price (which price may be less than Fair Market Value).

 

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee (the "Committee") which is appointed by the Board of Directors from those of its members who are "non-employees" of the Company as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors, or the Committee, if one is appointed, has full authority to determine the persons to be granted options or Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan and the terms of Restricted Stock Awards, the number and purchase price of the shares represented by each option, the time or times at which the options may be exercised, and the terms and provisions of each option, which need not be uniform for all options.

 

Key employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, as determined by the Board or Committee, and non-employee directors of and consultants to the Company or its subsidiaries are eligible to receive options or Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. The Plan authorizes the Committee to grant, over a ten-year period, options or Restricted Stock Awards to purchase up to a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to adjustment as described below. If any option expires or is terminated prior to its exercise in full and prior to the termination of the Plan, the shares subject to such unexercised option shall again be available for the grant of new options under the Plan. The consideration to be paid for the shares to be issued upon exercise of an option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Board of Directors and may consist entirely of cash, check, promissory note, other shares of common stock which (i) either have been owned by the option holder for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Corporation, and (ii) have a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares as to which the option shall be exercised, or any combination of such methods of payment, or such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of shares to the extent permitted under the laws of Delaware. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Board shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

 

 23 

 

 

The term of each option will not be more than ten (10) years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan may be exercised only during the continuance of the Participant's employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The Plan permits an outstanding ISO option to be exercised after termination of employment only to the extent that the option was exercisable on the date of termination but in no event beyond the original term of the option (i) within one year by the estate or rightful heir(s) of the optionee if the optionee's employment is terminated due to the optionee's death; (ii) within one year after the date of such termination if the termination is due to the optionee's Disability (as defined in the Plan); or (iii) within three months after the date of such termination if the termination was due to the optionee's Retirement (as defined in the Plan) or was for reasons other than death or Disability and other than "for cause" (as defined in the Plan). Upon termination of an optionee's employment "for cause," any unexercised options held by the optionee will be forfeited. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, to the extent it has not been previously exercised an option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. In the event of the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, the option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or, if such successor corporation does not agree to assume the option or substitute an equivalent option, the Board shall provide for the option holder to have the right to exercise the option as to all of the optioned shares, including shares as to which the option would not otherwise be exercisable.

 

Options granted under the Plan may be in the form of "incentive stock options" which qualify as such under Section 422 of the Code or non-qualified stock options which do not meet the criteria for incentive stock options under Section 422. Options granted under the Plan are, generally, transferable only by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee or by his legal representative in the event of his Disability.

 

Long-Term Incentive Plans

 

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers, except that our directors and executive officers receive stock options at the discretion of our Board. We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of our Board.

On June 1, 2010, the Company received $400,000 of the Phase III tranche and issued 39,100,684 shares to EIG. Under a December 1, 2009 Amendment to the Subscription Agreement, EIG paid penalty interest at a rate of 13.5% per annum on the unpaid balance as of the final purchase date of the Phase III shares from that date to the date the shares are purchased. In December 2014, the Company received $50,000 of the remaining Phase III $100,000 purchase price balance and $59,120 of related interest. The remaining balance of the purchase price in the amount of $54,000 was received on July 3, 2015 to complete payment of the Phase III purchase price.

Authorization of Series A Preferred Stock and Debt Conversions

 

On February 9, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a new series of preferred stock, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1.00 per share, and we filed a Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware on February 17, 2016. Also, effective on February 9, 2016, our Board approved and the Company entered into two agreements with the Company’s largest stockholder, EIG Venture Capital Ltd., a major shareholder of the company, to reduce the amount of the Company’s outstanding debt, and improve our balance sheet. First, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, pursuant to which EIG has assumed all of the Company’s obligations under the 13.5% convertible debenture of the Company due to Rupes Futura AB (Sweden), which has agreed to assumption of the convertible debenture obligations by EIG. The outstanding principal of the debenture, together with two years of accumulated unpaid interest, totaled $608,031, and EIG was compensated by the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a total stated value equal to that of the principal and accrued interest of the debt assumed. Second, the Company negotiated a debt conversion agreement effective February 9, 2016 with EIG, under which $59,000 of non-interest bearing advances made to the Company by EIG in July 2015 were converted into shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a total stated value of $59,000.

 

Authorization of Series B Preferred Stock and Purchase of Properties from AMREFA

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with American Residential Fastigheter AB, a company formed under the laws of Sweden (“AMREFA”), in connection with our purchase of AMREFA’s U.S. subsidiary, ARG LLC, which held real estate properties in Birmingham, Michigan, that were purchased by AMREFA and which we have managed for AMREFA. The Company paid the purchase price of $1,285,000 by the issuance to AMREFA of 8,093,541 shares of a new Series B Preferred Stock; however, at April 30, 2016 the shares were not issued and we recorded a note payable to AMREFA in the amount $1,157,270 including a present value discount of $127,730.

 

Subscription Agreements

 

The Company entered into subscription agreements with three stockholders, Jan Telander, the Company’s President and CEO; Ulf Telander, the CEO of EIG; and Frederic Telander, the CEO of SolTech Energy Sweden AB, which provided for the investment in the Company by each of the three stockholders of $100,000 through the purchase of100,000 shares each of Series A Preferred Stock (100,000 share of Series A Preferred Stock being convertible into a total of 30,303,030 shares of common stock).    During the last quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company received $200,000 as payment for 200,000 of the shares. The shares were issued subsequent to April 30, 2016 thus the Company recorded an amount due stockholders in the amount of $200,000. The remaining 100,000 shares in the amount of $100,000 were purchased subsequent to April 30, 2016.

 

Compensation for Executive Officers and Directors

 

For information regarding compensation for our executive officers and directors, see “Executive Compensation”.

 

Director Independence

 

We currently act with two directors consisting of Jan Telander and Michael Hylander. Our common stock is quoted by the OTC Market Group, which do not impose any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation or was, at any time during the past three years, employed by the corporation. Using this definition of independent director, one of our directors, Michael Hylander, would be viewed as independent.
