Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Expense Increase: G&A expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2011, were $107,199, compared to $68,002 in the prior year period. This increase is attributed to the accrual of costs related to a new agreement with GreenEra, Ltd., the initiation of officer/director salaries in April 2011, and a $63,200 non-cash stock-based compensation charge (compared to $10,196 in the prior year).
- Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased slightly from $714 to $635 for the nine-month period due to the repayment of a related-party shareholder loan during the current period.
- Liquidity Improvement: Cash balances increased from $470 at July 31, 2010, to $61,449 at April 30, 2011, driven by $117,929 in proceeds from the sale of common stock to accredited investors.
- Debt Reduction: Related-party notes payable decreased from $15,872 to $5,000 following a repayment of $17,522 in March 2011.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Going Concern: The filing explicitly states that the company has incurred losses and has a working capital deficit, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company requires additional capital to fund operations and acquire properties.
- Capital Needs: Management estimates a need for a minimum of $120,000 to finance operations for the next 12 months, with an anticipated monthly burn rate of approximately $20,000. They plan to raise funds through equity offerings or loans from officers/directors.
- Strategic Agreement: On February 17, 2011, the company entered an agreement with GreenEra, Ltd., to acquire exploitation rights for 60,000 hectares of forest land in Brazil for carbon credit development. This requires a monthly payment of $5,000 for approximately 34 years and potential financing up to $1.2 million. The contract is void if certification is not received by December 31, 2013.
- Controls and Procedures: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period.
- Unregistered Sales: The company sold 215,322 shares for $117,929 in cash during the period under Regulation S exemptions.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Going Concern Status: Verify the company's ability to secure the estimated $120,000 needed for the next 12 months, given the substantial doubt expressed by management.
- GreenEra Agreement Viability: Assess the financial feasibility of the $5,000/month commitment to GreenEra, Ltd., and the risks associated with the 34-year term and the 2013 certification deadline for carbon credits.
- Revenue Generation: Confirm that the company has no current revenue streams and relies entirely on future property acquisitions or carbon credit sales.
- Related Party Transactions: Review the terms of the shareholder loans and the repayment history, noting the reliance on officers/directors for funding.
- Internal Controls: Investigate the specific deficiencies that led to the conclusion that disclosure controls were ineffective.
