TABLE

PART
I
Item
1. Business
The Company is in the business of building
and operating solar powered, state of the art, greenhouse facilities which will grow fruits and vegetables for distribution to local
markets along the I-25 corridor in Colorado.
As
its initial development project, the Company expects to purchase, develop and operate four adjoining parcels of approximately 39
acres each, totaling approximately 157 acres in rural Pueblo County, Colorado (“Pueblo Complex”). The Pueblo Complex
is currently majority owned by VitaNova Partners, LLC (“VitaNova”). The Pueblo Complex has an existing greenhouse facility
consisting of 90,000 sq ft of growing space and 15,000 sq ft of warehouse space, another partially built greenhouse and two parcels of
vacant land.
In
2020, VitaNova began acquiring and now owns or controls a supermajority of the equity interests of the four
parcels in the Pueblo Complex. The Pueblo Complex was significantly underpowered with only 300KVA of electrical power and no natural
gas available. The lack of power made the initial greenhouse facility unsuitable for its intended purpose. Since acquiring control VitaNova
has installed 1500KVA electrical service and is retrofitting the existing greenhouse with electrical environmental equipment that can
be solar powered.
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 engineering necessary to complete the C-Pace financing application.
The
Company recently completed a private placement and raised $556,129 by issuing 55,612,831 common shares along with 55,612,831 2-year warrants
exercisable at $0.20 per share. VitaNova and John McKowen (“McKowen”) are considered affiliates and control entities of the
Company. The Company currently has no independent directors. Both VitaNova and the Company have a common board member, Mr. McKowen. The
Company expects to appoint independent directors after the purchase of Directors and Officers insurance.
On
July 5, 2018, Mr. McKowen purchased a control block of 440,000 common shares of the acquired shell and appointed himself as its sole
board member and Chief Executive Officer. On July 17, 2020, Mr. McKowen transferred the control block to VitaNova and began restructuring
the Company. The Company currently is a non reporting publicly traded shell on OTC Market Pink Sheets, symbol VTNA. As part of the restructuring,
the Company issued 55,612,837 common shares to VitaNova and 29,369,230 common shares to Mr. McKowen, which is proportional to Mr. McKowen’s
ownership of VitaNova.
Mr.
McKowen was also issued 58,738,460 shares that are subject to repurchase by the Company for a price of $0.0001 per share, of which 29,369,230
shares will be released from repurchase if warrants issued in Company’s recent private placement are exercised to acquire at least
42,140,266 shares of Common Stock; and 29,369,230 shares will be released from repurchase if, prior to December 31, 2022, the Company
completes a “sale lease back” of a solar powered property and receives gross proceeds of a least $6,000,000 from the sale.
For purposes of federal securities laws, Mr. McKowen is deemed to beneficially own 56,052,837 shares purchased by VitaNova because of
his ability to control VitaNova, as an officer and member of VitaNova.
On
February 1, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement Form 10 to voluntarily register common stock, par value $.0001 per share
of the Company, pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. The Company believes that when
the Form 10 becomes effective, 60 days after the Form 10 filing, it will no longer be a shell company.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
The
risks set out below are not exhaustive and do not comprise all of the risks associated with an investment in the Company. Additional
risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company and the Company’s management or currently deem immaterial may also have
a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and/or its share price.
As used herein, references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to the Company and management.
In
addition to reviewing other information in this information statement, you should carefully consider the following risk factors when
evaluating us.
Our
success will depend, to a large degree, on the expertise and experience of our sole executive officer.
Effective
June 27, 2018, John McKowen was appointed to be our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. McKowen is our sole executive officer. Our success in
identifying investment opportunities and pursuing and managing such investments will be, to a large degree, dependent upon Mr. McKowen’s
expertise and experience and his ability to attract and retain quality personnel. We do not maintain a key person life insurance policy
on Mr. McKowen. The loss of Mr. McKowen would significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives. If Mr. McKowen
is unable or unwilling to continue his employment with us, we may not be able to replace him in a timely manner and we will have no executive
personnel with experience operating our company. We may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain qualified replacements.
John
McKowen holds 88,107,690 or approximately 45.19% of the outstanding shares of the Company. VitaNova, a related party, holds another 56,052,837
or approximately 28.75% of the outstanding shares. John McKowen is the largest shareholder of VitaNova and its CEO. John McKowen currently
controls the votes of approximately 73.94% Company’s outstanding shares. As a result, John McKowen is able to exercise a significant
level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, appointment and removal of officers,
any amendment of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, approval of mergers, and other business combination transactions
requiring stockholder approval, John McKowen can dictate the direction of the Company through his voting power, which may create conflicts
of interest with other shareholders.
Our
current management resources may not be sufficient for the future, and we have no assurance that we can attract additional qualified
personnel.
There
can be no assurance that the current level of management is sufficient to perform all responsibilities necessary or beneficial for management
to perform. Our success in attracting additional qualified personnel will depend on many factors, including our ability to provide them
with competitive compensation arrangements, equity participation and other benefits. There is no assurance that we will be successful
in attracting highly qualified individuals in key management positions.
The
requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract management.
As
a result of filing the registration statement, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). These requirements
are extensive. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial
condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting.
We
may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and costs associated with applicable corporate
governance requirements. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance
costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. This may divert management’s attention from other business concerns,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also expect that these
applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance
and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar
coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors
or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict
or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Ineffective
internal controls could impact the Company’s business and operating results.
The
Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of the inherent limitations
of internal controls, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, poorly designed or ineffective
controls, or fraud. Internal controls that are deemed to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation
and fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls,
including the failure to implement new or improve existing controls, or fails to properly execute or properly test these controls, the
Company’s business and operating results could be negatively impacted and the Company could fail to meet its financial reporting
obligations.
Risks
Related to Covid-19.
COVID-19
continues to impact worldwide economic activity, and the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have
taken preventative or protective actions, which are creating disruption in global supply chains such as closures or other restrictions
on the conduct of business operations of manufacturers, suppliers and vendors. The increased global demand on shipping and transport
services may cause us to experience delays in the future, which could impact our ability to obtain materials or build our greenhouses
in a timely manner. These factors could otherwise disrupt our operations and could negatively impact our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Although
we have not experienced material financial impacts due to the pandemic, the fluid nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainties regarding
the related economic impact are likely to result in sustained market turmoil, which could also negatively impact our business, financial
condition and cash flows. Although our business is considered an “essential business,” the COVID-19 pandemic could result
in labor shortages, which could result in our inability to plant and harvest crops at full capacity and could result in spoilage or loss
of unharvested crops. The impact of COVID-19 on any of our suppliers, distributors, transportation or logistics providers may negatively
affect our costs of operation and our supply chain. If the disruptions caused by COVID-19, including decreased availability of labor,
continue for an extended period of time, our ability to meet the demands of distributors and customers may be materially impacted.
Further,
COVID-19 may impact customer and consumer demand. Retail and grocery stores may be impacted if governments continue to implement regional
business closures, quarantines, travel restrictions and other social distancing directives to slow the spread of the virus. There may
also be significant reductions or volatility in consumer demand for our products due to travel restrictions or social distancing directives,
as well as the temporary inability of consumers to purchase these products due to illness, quarantine or financial hardship, shifts in
demand away from one or more of our products, decreased consumer confidence and spending or pantry-loading activity, any of which may
negatively impact our results, including as a result of an increased difficulty in planning for operations and future growing seasons.
The
extent of COVID-19’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration,
spread and intensity of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape.
As a result, it is not currently possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on our business. However, if the pandemic continues
to persist as a severe worldwide health crisis, the disease could negatively impact our business, financial condition results of operations
and cash flows, and may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.
Risks
Relating to Our Financial Condition
If
our business plans are not successful, we may not be able to continue operations as a going concern and our shareholders may lose their
entire investment in us.
We
need to incur additional debt or issue equity in order to fund working capital requirements and to make real estate acquisitions and
other investments. We cannot assure you that debt or equity financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we are
not able to obtain sufficient financing, we may be unable to maintain or grow our business.
If
we raise funds through the issuance of debt or equity, any debt securities or preferred stock issued may have rights, preferences
and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock in the event of a liquidation, and the terms of the debt securities
may impose restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through the issuance of equity, the issuance will dilute your
ownership interest.
Risks
Relating to Our Business
Our
limited operating history makes it difficult for investors to evaluate our business.
Thus,
there is a very limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our business and prospects can be based. Our business and prospects
must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly
companies in new and rapidly changing markets, such is ours.
We
are in the process of identifying distressed properties to purchase, rehabilitate and lease to tenants. As we acquire properties to lease,
we will be dependent on a small number of tenants for the Company’s revenue. Further there is no guarantee that we can acquire
additional properties or tenants.
We
expect to acquire real estate properties, “as is” with only limited representation and warranties from the property seller
regarding matters affecting the condition, use and ownership of the property. There may also be environmental conditions associated with
properties we acquire of which we are unaware despite our diligent efforts. If environmental contamination exists on properties we acquire
or develop after acquisition, we could become subject to liability for the contamination. As a result, if defects in the property (including
any building on the property) or other matters adversely affecting the property are discovered, including but not limited to environmental
matters, we may not be able to pursue a claim for any or all of the damages against the property seller. Such a situation could harm
our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
We
expect to acquire real estate assets, which we intend to finance primarily through newly issued equity or debt. Our access to capital
will depend upon a number of factors over which we have little or no control, including general market conditions and the market’s
perception of our current and potential future earnings. If we are unable to obtain capital on terms and conditions, we find acceptable,
we will likely have to reduce the number of properties we purchase.
We
face significant risks associated with the development and redevelopment of the properties we acquire. Development and redevelopment
entail risks that could adversely impact our financial position and results of operations including:
|
●
|
construction
costs, which may exceed our estimates due to increases in materials, labor or other costs, which could make the project less profitable
and require us to commit additional funds to complete the project;
|
|
●
|
permitting
or construction delays, which may result in increased project costs, as well as deferred revenue;
|
|
●
|
unavailability
of raw materials when needed, which may result in project delays, stoppages or interruptions, which could make the project less profitable;
|
|
●
|
health
and safety incidents and accidents;
|
|
●
|
poor
performance or nonperformance with any of our contractors, subcontractors or other third parties on whom we rely;
|
|
●
|
unforeseen
engineering, environmental or geological problems, which may result in delays or increased costs;
|
|
●
|
labor
stoppages, slowdowns or interruptions;
|
|
●
|
liabilities,
expenses or project delays, stoppages or interruptions as a result of challenges by third parties in legal proceedings; and weather-related
and geological interference, including hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides, floods, drought, wildfires and other events, which may
result in delays or increased costs.
|
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
To
finance our planned operations, we may sell additional shares of our stock. Any additional equity financing that we receive may involve
substantial dilution to our pre-financing shareholders. We may also issue stock to acquire assets or businesses. In the event that any
such shares are issued, the proportionate ownership and voting power of other shareholders will be reduced.
Because
we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future, investors in our common stock probably will not derive any profits from
their investment in us for the foreseeable future, other than through any price appreciation of our common stock. Thus, it is likely
that investor profits, if any, will be limited for the near future.
The
market prices for our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume may fluctuate, resulting in significant price variations.
Some of the factors that could negatively affect the share price or results in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common
stock include:
|
●
|
our
actual or projected operating results, financial condition, cash flows and liquidity or changes in business strategy or prospects:
|
|
●
|
changes
in government policies, regulations or laws;
|
|
●
|
the
performance of our current property and additional properties we acquire;
|
|
●
|
our
ability to make acquisitions on preferable terms or at all;
|
|
●
|
equity
issuances by us or share resales by our stockholders, or the perception that such issuances or resales may occur;
|
|
●
|
actual
or anticipated accounting problems;
|
|
●
|
changes
in market values of similar companies;
|
|
●
|
adverse
market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;
|
|
●
|
interest
rate changes;
|
|
●
|
additions
to or departures of our senior management team;
|
|
●
|
speculation
in the press or negative press in general; and
|
|
●
|
market
and economic conditions generally, including the current state of the credit and capital markets and the market and economic conditions.
|
Our
common stock is quoted only on the OTC Pink marketplace, which may make it more difficult for you to resell shares when you want at prices
you find attractive.
Our
common shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is an electronic quotation medium used by subscribing broker-dealers to reflect
dealer quotations on a real-time basis. This over-the-counter market provides significantly less liquidity and regulatory oversight than
the Nasdaq Stock Market. Securities that are thinly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board often experience a significant spread between the
market maker’s bid and asked prices. Therefore, prices for actual transactions in securities traded on the OTC Bulletin Board may
be difficult to obtain and holders of our common stock may be unable to resell their shares when they want at prices they find attractive.
Shares
that are eligible for future sale may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
The
regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of Common Stock.
We
are classified as a “penny stock” company. The Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Market and is subject to an SEC rule
that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers
or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions
with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 (not including the principal residence)
or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions
covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s
written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker- dealers from executing trades in penny
stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that may
develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
In
addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks,” including Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3,
15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7 and 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. Our Common Stock constitutes a “penny stock” within the meaning
of these rules, and these rules impose additional regulatory burdens that may affect the ability of holders to sell Common Stock in any
market that may develop.
The
market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse, including:
|
●
|
control
of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
|
|
●
|
manipulation
of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
|
|
●
|
“boiler
room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
|
|
●
|
excessive
and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
|
|
●
|
wholesale
dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, causing investor
losses.
|
We
generally are not in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market.
Penny
Stock Regulation
Broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Excluded from the penny stock designation are securities
listed on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect
to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange/system or sold to established customers or accredited investors. The penny
stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized
risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also
must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson
in connection with the transaction, and the monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s
account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must make
a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written
agreement to the transaction.
These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for Common Stock, and investors
therefore may find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock.
Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is not available as an exemption
from registration for the re-sale of the Company’s Shares by its shareholders. Consequently, holders of restricted shares of the
Company may be unable to re-sell their shares or deposit shares with a legend in brokerage account. The Company has plans to register
the re-sale of its Shares but may not be able to complete the filing of a registration statement.

Executive
Overview
The
Company is in the business of building and operating sustainable photovoltaic (“PV”) solar powered, state of the art, greenhouse
facilities which grow high value greenhouse produce.
As
its initial development project, the Company expects to purchase, develop and operate four adjoining parcels of approximately
39 acres each, totaling approximately 157 acres in rural Pueblo County, Colorado (“Pueblo Complex”).
The Pueblo Complex is currently majority owned by VitaNova Partners, LLC (“VitaNova”). The Pueblo Complex has an existing
greenhouse facility consisting of 90,000 sq ft of growing space and 15,000 sq ft of warehouse space, another partially built greenhouse
and two parcels of vacant land.
In
2020, VitaNova began acquiring and now owns or controls a supermajority of the preferred or controlling equity interests of the four
parcels in the Pueblo Complex. The Pueblo Complex was significantly underpowered with only 300KVA of electrical power and no natural
gas available. The lack of power made the initial greenhouse facility unsuitable for its intended purpose. Since acquiring control VitaNova
has installed 1500KVA electrical service and is retrofitting the existing greenhouse with electrical environmental equipment that can
be solar powered.
The
Company received preliminary approval from C-PACE, a Colorado specialized solar financing program by federal, state and county governments.
The Company is in the process of developing engineering necessary to developed complete the C-Pace financing application.
The
Company recently completed a private placement and raised $556,129 by issuing 55,612,900 common shares along with 55,612,900 2-year warrants
exercisable at $0.20 per share. VitaNova and John McKowen (“McKowen”) are considered affiliates and control entities of the
Company. The Company currently has no independent directors. Both VitaNova and the Company have a common board member, Mr. McKowen. The
Company expects to appoint independent directors after the purchase of Directors and Officers insurance.
On
July 5, 2018, Mr. McKowen purchased a control block of 440,000 common shares of the acquired shell and appointed himself as its sole
board member and Chief Executive Officer. On July 17, 2020, Mr. McKowen transferred the control block to VitaNova and began restructuring
the Company. The Company currently is a non reporting publicly traded shell on OTC Market Pink Sheets, symbol VTNA. As part of the restructuring,
the Company issued 55,612,837 common shares to VitaNova and 29,369,230 common shares to Mr. McKowen, which is proportional to Mr. McKowen’s
ownership of VitaNova.
Mr.
McKowen was also issued 88,107,690, of which 58,738,460 shares that are subject to repurchase by the Company for a price of $0.0001 per
share. Of the 58,738,460 shares 29,369,230 shares will be released from repurchase if warrants issued in Company’s recent private
placement are exercised to acquire at least 42,140,266 shares of Common Stock; and 29,369,230 shares will be released from repurchase
if, prior to December 31, 2022, the Company completes a “sale lease back” of a solar powered property and receives gross
proceeds of a least $6,000,000 from the sale. For purposes of federal securities laws, Mr. McKowen is deemed to beneficially own 56,052,837
shares purchased by VitaNova because of his ability to control VitaNova, as an officer and member of VitaNova.
On
February 1, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement Form 10 to voluntarily register common stock, par value $.0001per share
of the Company, pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. The Company believes that when
the Form 10 becomes effective, 60 days after the Form 10 filing, it will no longer be a shell company.
The
United States Tax Code in renewable energy facilities offers investors incentives. Investors in a solar facility that begins construction
in 2021 and 2022 will receive an investment tax credit for 26% of the cost of a photovoltaic system when it goes into service. Under
the federal code, renewable energy systems qualify for a five year Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation schedule.
The exact benefit of this depreciation is complicated and varies depending on the investors tax rate, but typically it adds up to an
additional 25% of a solar energy project’s cost being offset by reduced tax payments.
Our
Critical Accounting Policies
New
Accounting Pronouncements
From
time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting
pronouncements. The FASB issues updates to new accounting pronouncements through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).
Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the
future, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
Revenue
Recognition (ASC 606)
During
the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $13,125 from a sub-lease on farm land which the Company leased from
a non-related third party. The $13,125 is recognized in the month earned for the following reasons:
|
●
|
the
Company did not transfer control of the leased asset to sub-lessee;
|
|
●
|
sub-lessee
payments are made monthly for the month period under the lease agreement;
|
|
●
|
there
was no variable consideration;
|
|
●
|
the
Company provided no licenses to sub-lessee;
|
|
●
|
there

Results
of Operations
For
Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020
For
the years ended December 31, 2019 we generated no revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized revenues from sub-leasing
operations of $13,125 compared to no revenues from leasing operations during the year ended December 31, 2019. We entered into the sub-lease
as of July 1, 2020.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, expenses from operations were $296,644 compared to $4,515 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The
increase of $292,129 was primarily due to higher general and administrative expense resulting from the efforts to prepare the Company
to become a fully reporting company with the SEC.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, other expenses were $6,584,280 compared to no other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The increase in other expenses of $6,584,280 was the result of a warrant expense of $6,584,280.
These
figures produced a net loss of $6,867,799 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a net loss of $4,515 for the year ended December
31, 2019.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Resources
We
believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and anticipated additional capital from financing activities will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including
the, solar projects and expansion of our greenhouse development. To the extent our cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operating
activities are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or
debt financing. We also may need to raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to affect one or more acquisitions
of businesses, technologies and products. If additional funding is required, we may not be able to affect an equity or debt financing
on terms acceptable to us or at all.
We
historically have funded our operations primarily from the following sources:
|
●
|
equity
and debt proceeds through private placements;
|
|
●
|
revenue
generated from operations; and
|
|
●
|
loans
and lines of credit.
|
On
August 17, 2020, the Company executed a 6% Promissory Note for up to $1,000,000 with VitaNova as an available line of credit. The Company
has not drawn on this line of credit.
Cash
flow from operations has not historically been sufficient to sustain our operations without the above additional sources of capital.
During 2020, the company’s funds were held as due the company in a bank account owned by VitaNova. For the year ending December
31, 2020 VitaNova held $65,179 for the benefit of the Company. Cash flow consumed by our operating activities totaled $351,092
for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to operating activities consuming no cash for the year ended December 31, 2019.
As
of December 31, 2020, we had $78,913 in current assets and $11,925 in current liabilities.
Requirements
On
July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a five-year lease for a 157 irrigated acre farm, located at 2083 County Road 104, Walsenburg,
Colorado 81089. The lease rate is $5,250 per month. The Company, at its sole discretion, can terminate this lease if after six months
from July 1, 2020, the Company is unable to obtain necessary licenses and permits from state or local authorities. Subsequently, the
Company terminated the lease in January, 2021. The Company currently has no lease obligations or requirements.
The
Company has not entered into any agreements that require a commitment of cash.

risk assessment and mitigation processes. The small size of the Company allows our Board to develop in-depth knowledge of different facets

per share if the Warrant Performance Metric is not satisfied, and the other 50% are subject to repurchase at such price if the Secondary
Performance Metric is not satisfied.
As
used above, the “Warrant Performance Metric” will be satisfied if Warrants issued in Company’s 2020 Private Placement
are exercised to acquire at least 42,140,266 shares of Common Stock; and the “Secondary Performance Metric” will be satisfied
if, prior to December 31, 2022, The Company completes a “sale lease back” of a solar powered property and receives gross
proceed of a least $6,000,000 from the sale. For purposes of federal securities laws, Mr. McKowen is deemed to beneficially own 56,052,837
purchased by VitaNova because of his ability to control VitaNova, as an officer and member of VitaNova.
On
July 15, 2020, the Company and VitaNova entered into a consulting agreement whereby VitaNova would provide management services until
the current private placement offering is completed and the shareholders of the Company can properly elect an independent board of directors
and appoint Company officers. VitaNova is paid $456,000 annually for its management services. Payments are made in 12 monthly installments
of $38,000. On December 15, 2020 the consulting agreement was amended to reduce payments to $19,000 a month effective January 1, 2021.

We
did not issue any shares to Consultants for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued

Item
15. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
On
October 16, 2020, the board of directors approved the appointment of BF Borgers CPA PC, or BF Borgers, as our new independent registered
public accounting firm, effective immediately, to perform independent audit services for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2020, 2019
and 2018. The appointment of BF Borgers was effective immediately.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and in the subsequent interim periods through September 30, 2020, neither we
nor anyone on our behalf consulted with BF Borgers (“Borgers”) with respect to either (a) the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect
to our consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us by BF Borgers that was an important
factor that we considered in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue or (b) any matter that was
the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation SK of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation SK).
There
are not and have not been any disagreements between us and our independent accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices
or financial statement disclosure.
Aggregate
fees billed by Borgers for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

INC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the shareholders and the board of directors of VETANOVA INC
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of VETANOVA INC as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
"financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error
or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

VETANOVA
INC
Notes
to Condensed Financial Statements
For
the Years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
Note
1 – Organization and Business
VETANOVA
INC (“the Company) is in the business of building and operating sustainable photovoltaic (“PV”) solar powered,
state of the art, greenhouse facilities which grow high value greenhouse produce.
As
its initial development project, the Company expects to purchase, develop and operate four adjoining parcels of approximately
39 acres each, totaling approximately 157 acres in rural Pueblo County, Colorado (“Pueblo Complex”).
The Pueblo Complex is currently majority owned by VitaNova Partners, LLC (“VitaNova”). The Pueblo Complex has an existing
greenhouse facility consisting of 90,000 sq ft of growing space and 15,000 sq ft of warehouse space, another partially built greenhouse
and two parcels of vacant land.
In
2020, VitaNova began acquiring and now owns or controls a supermajority of the preferred or controlling equity interests of the
four parcels in the Pueblo Complex. The Pueblo Complex was significantly underpowered with only 300KVA of electrical power
and no natural gas available. The lack of power made the initial greenhouse facility unsuitable for its intended purpose. Since
acquiring control VitaNova has installed 1500KVA electrical service and is retrofitting the existing greenhouse with electrical
environmental equipment that can be solar powered.
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 engineering necessary to complete the C-Pace financing application.
The
Company recently completed a private placement and raised $556,129 by issuing 55,612,900 common shares along with 55,612,900 2-year
warrants exercisable at $0.20 per share. VitaNova and John McKowen (“McKowen”) are considered affiliates and control
entities of the Company. The Company currently has no independent directors. Both VitaNova and the Company have a common board
member, Mr. McKowen. The Company expects to appoint independent directors after the purchase of Directors and Officers insurance.
On
July 5, 2018, Mr. McKowen purchased a control block of 440,000 common shares of the acquired shell and appointed himself as its
sole board member and Chief Executive Officer. On July 17, 2020, Mr. McKowen transferred the control block to VitaNova and began
restructuring the Company. The Company currently is a non-reporting publicly traded shell on OTC Market Pink Sheets, symbol
VTNA. As part of the restructuring, the Company issued 55,612,837 common shares to VitaNova and 29,369,230 common shares to Mr.
McKowen, which is proportional to Mr. McKowen’s ownership of VitaNova.
Mr.
McKowen was also issued 58,738,460 shares that are subject to repurchase by the Company for a price of $0.0001 per share, of which
29,369,230 shares will be released from repurchase if warrants issued in Company’s recent private placement are exercised
to acquire at least 42,140,266 shares of Common Stock; and 29,369,230 shares will be released from repurchase if, prior to December
31, 2022, the Company completes a “sale lease back” of a solar powered property and receives gross proceeds of a least
$6,000,000 from the sale. For purposes of federal securities laws, Mr. McKowen is deemed to beneficially own 56,052,837 shares
purchased by VitaNova because of his ability to control VitaNova, as an officer and member of VitaNova.
On
February 1, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement Form 10 to voluntarily register common stock, par value $0.0001
per share of the Company, pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. The Company
believes that when the Form 10 becomes effective, 60 days after the Form 10 filing, it will no longer be a shell company

2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States.
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.
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.
During
the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Company did not maintain its own bank account. On July 17, 2020, VitaNova
acquired a super majority of the Company, which at the time was a shell. At the time, the Company had no assets at, and
its operating capital was provided by VitaNova pursuant to a Promissory Note dated August 17, 2020. On September 20, 2020, VitaNova
commenced a private placement on behalf of the Company and raised $351,093 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The proceeds
from the Company’s capital raise were deposited into VitaNova’s bank account and recorded on the Company’s books
as “Due from Related Party.” In 2021, the Company completed its private placement by raising an additional $205,036.
Those proceeds were deposited into a Company bank account opened on February 23, 2021.
Due
from related party – VitaNova Partners, LLC
VitaNova
owns approximately 28.75% of the Company. The Company currently has one director who is also the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer as well as the Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of VitaNova.
During
2020, the Company’s funds were held as due the Company in a bank account owned by VitaNova. For the year ended December
31, 2020, VitaNova held $65,179 for the benefit of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a liability
due to a related party, VitaNova, of $6,514 for expenses incurred by the Company but paid by VitaNova.
Warrant
Expense
U.S.
GAAP ASC 815 requires a fair valuation of warrants issued. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 35,109,231
warrants. Each warrant gave the right to purchase one of the Company’s common shares at $0.20. The warrants expire on September
30, 2022 and vested immediately upon issuance. Therefore, the full fair value of the warrants of $6,584,281 was recorded
in the year ended December 31, 2020. In order to calculate the warrant value, the following variables were used:
|
●
|
Annualized
volatility of 865%
|
|
●
|
Expected
life in years of 1.02
|
|
●
|
Discount
rate – bond equivalent (US Treasury 5-year coupon rate) of 0.37%
|
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 our 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 the 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.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, no accrued interest or penalties are included
on the related tax liability line in the balance sheet and no deferred tax asset is recognized.
Net
Income (Loss) per Share
Basic
net (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributed to VETANOVA available to common shareholders for the
period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (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 December 31, 2020, there were no dilutive effect from the warrants issued since it would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31,
2019, there were no warrants or options outstanding.
Note
3 – Equity Transactions
The
Company has authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001. The total issued common stock as of December
31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 194,971,866 and 626,789 shares, respectfully.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020 there were the following equity transactions:
|
●

Note
4 – Income Taxes
On
December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law.
The Act lowered the Company’s U.S. statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also
imposing a deemed repatriation tax on previously deferred foreign income. The Act also created a new minimum tax on certain future
foreign earnings. The impact of the Act had no material impact on the Company’s tax liability and deferrals.
We
record tax positions as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjust these liabilities when our judgement changes as a result
of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate
resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the recognized tax benefit liabilities.
These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is
available. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018 we have not recorded any uncertain tax positions in our financial statements. The
Company has not filed tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Prior to January
31, 2018, there was no financial or taxable transactions since 2011, so the company does not anticipate any material penalties.

For
the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the deferred tax asset of $80,076 and $16,509, respectively, has a valuation
allowance of $80,076 and $16,509, respectively, since management has determined the tax benefit cannot be reasonably assured of
being used in the near future. The net operating loss carryforward, if not used, will begin to expire in 2045, and is severely
restricted as per the Internal Revenue Code if there is a change in ownership.
