Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021
Note 1 – Organization and Business
The Company is in its development stage and, depending on available financing, intends to build and operate solar-powered, carbon-negative greenhouses utilizing Artificial Intelligence assisted technologies to control the growing environment. The Company’s revenue is expected to come from growing farm-fresh fruits and vegetables to be sold to local markets.
The Company intends to produce farm-fresh fruits and vegetables for local delivery in historically productive agricultural regions with
high solar indexes and close to large urban areas of the United States, such as the Front Range of Colorado and Central Valley of California.
In 2021 the Company acquired four contiguous parcels of land from a related party totaling

The Company has a direct or indirect interest in the three entities listed above.
The Company plans to finance all or a part of the cost of retrofitting/ constructing greenhouses and warehouses and building solar systems through future offering of the Company’s securities, proceeds from the exercise of the Company’s warrants or borrowings from private lenders.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any agreements with any person to purchase any of the Company’s securities or lend any funds to the Company.
On August 4, 2021 the Company entered in an agreement with Mastronardi Produce Limited pursuant to which Mastronardi was granted the exclusive right to sell and market all US Grade No. 1 Products produced from all of the Company’s greenhouses in North America. For each sale, Mastronardi will be paid a low double digit percentage of the gross price received for the sale of the products grown at the Company’s greenhouses, plus all costs incurred in the sale and distribution of such products.
Mastronardi is a fourth-generation family owned company and the leading marketer and distributor in North America of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, berries and leafy greens. Mastronardi has an extensive and long-tenured retail network and is nationally recognized under the primary SUNSET® brand and other brands, including Campari®, Angel Sweet®, Flavor Bombs®, Sugar Bombs®, and WOW™ berries.
On
June 22, 2022, the Company began offering up to Units at a price of $ per Unit, for a total of up to $

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, included herein, have been presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Consolidation
In
January 2021, the Company formed VetaNova Solar Partners, LLC (“VSP”). VSP is authorized to issue common and
preferred membership units. As of June 30, 2022, VSP had
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Those are readily convertible into cash and not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. The recorded amounts for cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Greenhouse and associated land
See Note 1 for information concerning land and greenhouse acquired by the Company.
The
land and structures were acquired from a related party entity and therefore, the land and structure value were transferred at historical
cost. Based on consideration paid, the Company recognized a loss of $
After
completing the above acquisitions, the Company commissioned an appraisal to be performed. This appraisal gave an “as-is”
estimate of value at $
| 8 |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company has determined the deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of its position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributed to the Company’s common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s outstanding warrants were excluded from the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding since the warrants would be anti-dilutive.
Accounting for Equity Raise
The Company recently sold common stock and warrants. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires the Company to first analyze the warrants to determine if the warrants are a liability or an equity instrument.
The warrants in the offering qualify as equity. The warrants do not obligate the Company to repurchase its shares by transferring an asset. The warrants do not obligate the Company to settle the warrants by issuing a variable number of shares if the monetary value of the obligation is based on a predetermined fixed amount, variation in something other than the issuers stock price, or variations inversely related to the issuers stock price. Therefore, since there is no obligation on behalf of the Company, the warrants have been classified as equity.
The next step is to determine the fair value of the equity unit. The Company’s offering does not meet any of the four areas of ASC 820-10-30-3A requiring a fair value calculation; therefore, fair value equals the actual transaction value. The next step is to compute the fair value order to determine the allocation of value between the common shares and the warrants issued (ASC 815). The Company performed this calculation which gave a value of 50% to the warrant and 50% to the common shares.
| 9 |
The following variables were used to calculate the warrant value:
| ● | Annualized
volatility of | |
| ● | Expected
life in years of | |
| ● | Discount
rate – bond equivalent (US Treasury |
The common share value was computed by evaluating each equity raise closing date to the Company’s market stock price to the price issue, which was $/share.
Accounting for debt to equity conversions
During
the year ended December 31, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold bridge notes which mature on
ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. Therefore, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the debt with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under ASU 2020-06 or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and therefore will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost.
The Company has elected to adopt this standard during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Results of Operations
For Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, there was no revenue nor direct cost of revenue.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $2,144,050 of general and administrative expenses, compared to $232,395 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $1,911,655 was due to a charge of $2,043,572 for shares issued to an investor relations firm, partially offset by reducing operating expenses during its initial stage to conserve capital.
Interest expense was $21,947 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to no interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Interest expense was due to the Company’s sale of bridge notes and amounts due from asset acquisition during the last three months of its year ended December 31, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The minority share of the Company’s consolidate loss was $1,885 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. There was a $21,021 minority share recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from the consolidated subsidiary, VitaNova Solar Partners, LLC.
The above produced a net loss of $2,164,142 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $211,374 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
For Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, there was no revenue nor direct cost of revenue.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $2,251,355 of general and administrative expenses, compared to $425,199 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $2,033,939 was due to a charge of $2,043,572 for shares issued to an investor relations firm, partially offset by reducing operating expenses during its initial stage to conserve capital.
Interest expense was $70,950 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to no interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Interest expense was due to the Company’s sale of bridge notes and amounts due from asset acquisition during the last three months of its year ended December 31, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The minority share of the Company’s consolidate loss was $1,885 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $21,021 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The above produced a net loss of $2,320,450 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $404,178 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have begun our operations relying on external investors. Since inception and through June 30, 2022, we have raised $2,612,566 in capital.
Our estimated capital requirements for the period ending December 31, 2022 are:
| ● | General and administrative expenses | $ | 625,000 | ||
| ● | Payments related to the purchase of land in southeastern Colorado (1) | $ | 2,500,000 | ||
| ● | Retrofit/expand existing greenhouses and warehouse (2) | $ | 9,500,000 | ||
| ● | Construction of solar system to power expanded greenhouse and warehouse | $ | 3,000,000 |
(1) See Footnote 3 of this report regarding payments we are required to make in connection with the purchase of these properties.
(2) Represents the costs to retrofit and expand an existing greenhouse and warehouse we acquired in southern Colorado.

The Company received preliminary approval from C-PACE, a Colorado specialized solar financing program developed by federal, state and county governments. The Company is in the process of developing the engineering necessary to complete the C-Pace financing application.
We believe with additional capital from third party investors we will have sufficient capital to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months.
To date we have only had limited revenue, which occurred the last six months of 2020 via a sublease of farming land. Therefore, presently operations are not sufficient to sustain our operations without the additional sources of capital. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $264. We used $234,117 in cash in our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
See Note 2 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our significant account policies.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policy below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results from operations.
Impairment Policy. At least once every year, management examines all of our assets for proper valuation and to determine if an impairment is necessary. In terms of real estate owned, this impairment examination also includes accumulated depreciation. Management examines market valuations and if an additional impairment is necessary, an impairment charge is recorded.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and change in the market values of our real estate properties and water assets. Because we had no market risk sensitive instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2022, it was determined that there was no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as of such date. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, comprised of our chief executive officer (CEO), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, and taking the matters described below into account, the Company’s CEO has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective during reporting period ended June 30, 2022.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
