PART I
Subsequent to the period covered by this Report, the Company has filed a Form 8-K (filed August 27, 2012 and amended thereafter) pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and a Form S-1 (filed June 13, 2013) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. Much of the information contained below is further discussed in those filings and such information is incorporated by reference herewith.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company is a development stage company and has no operating history and has experienced losses since its inception. The Company has received only minimal revenue from earlier consulting work. The Companys independent auditors have issued a report questioning the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Since its incorporation, the Company has developed its business plan, appointed officers and directors, engaged initial project consultants and entered into negotiations and contracts for related and ancillary business. The Company is a development stage company in the process of developing proposals for high-speed rail service.
On June 12, 2012, Ameri Metro, Inc. ("Ameri Metro 2010") merged with Yellowwood Acquisition Corporation, a public reporting company. As part of the merger, Yellowwood Acquisition Corporation, the surviving entity, changed its name to Ameri Metro, Inc. and changed its fiscal year end to July 31. Yellowwood had no ongoing business or operations and was established for the purpose of completing mergers and acquisitions with a target company, such as the former Ameri Metro 2010.
The original Ameri Metro, Inc. prior to the merger (Ameri Metro 2010) was incorporated on April 13, 2010 in Delaware. with an authorized capitalization of 1,500 shares of common stock. On April 30, 2010, Ameri Metro 2010 amended its certificate of incorporation to authorize 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.0001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.0001 per share. The Company, known as Yellowwood Acquisition Corporation prior to the merger, was incorporated on September 21, 2011 and has an authorized capitalization of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
The Business
The Company intends to focus on high-speed rail for passenger and freight transportation and related and ancillary transportation businesses. The Company's business plan plans for the development of various services for high-speed rail throughout the United States. The Company intends to secure manufacturing and technologies together with ancillary land development projects, sale of goods and services to government, civilian and commercial end users.
The Company anticipates that it will, directly or through subsidiaries, develop plans, and then coordinate and supervise the financing, construction and development of such transportation projects by bringing together the resources, plans, financing, approvals and technology needed to implement such transportation systems.
The Company has no revenue producing operations to date. The Company intends to develop numerous projects as opportunities are presented primarily in the transportation or transportation-related fields. The Company believes that the need, demand and usage of alternative transportation such as high speed rail are increasingly important as the United States adopts policies to attempt to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels, particularly the automobile. The Company intends to develop and prepare the designs and concepts for feasible and profitable regional high-speed rail projects utilizing existing and new railbeds, stations, and equipment. The Company will prepare the complete project package including appraisals and estimates and will obtain contracts for the development of the railbeds and purchase of the equipment. The Company will present the complete project, working as project supervisor and coordinator, to municipalities and regional government agencies. In addition to high speed rail projects, the Company will also develop other selected transportation-related projects that promote efficient and improved transportation structures or plans.
Funding for individual projects of the Company will occur from bond offerings organized through various non-profit entities and organizations sponsored or affiliated with municipal and government agencies. Certain of these non-profit entities or organizations may themselves be affiliated with, or related to, the Company and assist, or work in conjunction with, the Company in securing contracts and funds to develop projects.
On December 1, 2010, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Transportation & Infrastructure, Inc. (GTI). in the state of Delaware with an authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.0001 and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.0001. GTI was formed to provide development and construction services for the Alabama highway project including securing financing for the design, planning, engineering and related costs for its construction and to engage in the construction of high-speed rail for passenger and freight transportation and related transportation projects for the Company.
Through its subsidiary, GTI, the Company is also involved in the development of a new toll road in the State of Alabama. The Company acquired from Penndel Land Company (a company solely owned by the president of the Ameri Metro) the contract rights to a construction agreement with the Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. ("ATFI", a non-profit company designated by the State of Alabama to act as the project developer for such a toll road and on which the president of Ameri Metro served as one of its four directors). As such the Company has the development rights for such toll road. The Company will need to secure the financing for the design, planning, engineering and related costs for the construction of the toll road. If the Company is able to secure such financing, ATFI will effect a bond offering to purchase the land on which the toll road is to be located.
Business Plan
The Company believes that its project proposals will reflect a the which passenger rail service will be developed. The high-speed rail plan to be presented by the Company will likely utilize existing rail rights-of-way to connect several metropolitan areas and states serving expanding populations. The major elements of the plan would include:
-
Use of existing rail rights-of-way to connect rural, small urban and major metropolitan areas;
-
Operation of a "hub-and-spoke" passenger rail system providing service to and through one or more major hubs to locations throughout the United States;
-
Introduction of modern trail equipment operating at speeds up to 110 mph;
-
Provision of multi-modal connections to improve system access;
-
Improvement in reliability and on-time performance;
-
Development or expansion of a feeder bus system linking outlying areas to railroad stations;
-
Acquiring new train equipment including train sets and spares;
-
Track improvement, including replacement and upgrades, additional sidings, signal and communications systems, and grade-crossing improvements;
-
Construction or improvement of railroad grade crossings and passenger stations.
The following discussion outlines the steps as the Company anticipates that will occur in regard to the adoption and implementation of a high-speed rail system by a regional or local municipality. To date, the Company has not developed any rail systems.
The Company plans that it will prepare the feasibility study and locate contractors and manufacturers to complete and work and provide cost estimates. Because high-speed rail travel is already in-place in much of Europe and Asia, the Company anticipates working with European companies to furnish the high-speed equipment, such as locomotives and passenger cars.
The Company will put proposed contracts together with the supporting feasibility study, appraisals, cost/benefit analysis, TEMS study, transportation history and other data to create a complete regional project proposal. The Company will then present such project proposals to the municipalities (state or local) as a complete and finished project. The local or regional municipality will then independently analyze and discuss the Company's proposal. If accepted, the Company anticipates that, upon approval, the local municipality will effectuate a bond offering for the funding of the high-speed rail project. The Company anticipates that the projects will be financed by bonds or indentures offered by sponsored or affiliated non-profit organizations of the applicable local or municipal government or agency. Such non-profit entities may also be affiliates or companies related to the Company.
The Company anticipates that the municipalities will be favorably receptive to the proposed high-speed rail project for many reasons. Political pressure is increasing to find alternate transportation systems as the price of gas and environmental risk of drilling and using petroleum products rises. Highway maintenance is increasingly expensive as the price of materials and labor increases. Highway congestion is an increasing urban problem. The Company will present a project as a total package thereby providing the municipalities with the complete overview and relieving it of the time and costs involved in studying the proposal, seeking pricing information and projecting results. In addition, the Company believes that it may be able to effect economies of scale by purchasing new and renovating existing equipment and facilities on an integrated regional basis rather than in fractured individual areas or small municipalities.
Once a proposed high-speed rail project is accepted and a financing bond issue is effected by the municipality, the Company will act as the project manager and oversee the entire project including not only the development of the project but its continued operations as well. The Company will also serve as the main central point for coordination of and between the municipalities, contractors, and operators of the project and, once established, the rail system.
The CEO of the Company (Shah Mathias) has created two nonprofits and is the principal of a third for use in issuing bonds to fund the proposed projects. Two of these nonprofits are specifically for use for financing high speed rail transportation systems, the third is specifically for use with the Alabama Toll Facility, discussed below.
The nonprofit statutes allow nonprofit corporations to issue bonds and the Company envisions that its related nonprofits will issue bonds to fund the projects and once the indebtedness is paid the project infrastructure can be turned over to a state or governing body having jurisdiction. The nonprofits created are:
Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. (HSRF)
Hi Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc. (HSRFP)
Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. (ATFI)
The board of directors of HSRF and HSRFP consist of the following individuals: Shah Mathias (founder and chief executive officer of the Company) Kirk Wilson, James Kingsborough, and Otto Banks. The board of directors of ATFI consists of Jack Garison and Jack Hopper. Shah Mathias earlier served on the ATFI board of directors but resigned from that position.
The Company envisions utilizing different bond offerings for different aspects of a project development. For instance, it may offer a bond offering for the acquisition of the land, some of which may already have existing rail beds or other of which may need to be constructed and engineered. It may offer a bond offering for the acquisition of equipment or for the purchase of raw materials. The Company envisions that each bond offering will be relatively specific in nature but all such bond offerings will be regulated by a master indenture agreement designed to provide the terms and structure, interest rates, and other basic information for any bond offering. The Company further envisions that after some period of years, probably about seven, it will offer a revenue bond that will consolidate the earlier bond offerings into one. At the appropriate time that a project proposal is ready to proceed, the Company intends to seek underwriters for the bond offering and to engage established financial organizations to serve as the trustee and/or asset manager of the bond offering.
There is no assurance that if offered any of the Company's envisioned bond offerings will be effected or purchased or closed or that any funds will be raised through such offerings.
Finally, upon adoption of a proposed high-speed rail project and the obtaining financing (through floating a bond offering by the nonprofit entity or otherwise), the Company intends to act as the project manager and oversee the entire project including, not only the development, but also the continued operations of the high-speed rail project. The Company envisions it will also serve as the main central point for coordination of and between the municipalities, contractors, and operators of the project and, once established, the rail system.
In addition to high speed rail projects, the Company may also develop other selected transportation-related projects that promote efficient and improved transportation structures or plans. Funding for individual projects of the Company may occur from bond offerings organized through its related non-profit entities or entities affiliated with municipal and government agencies. Certain of these non-profit entities or organizations may themselves be affiliated with, or related to, the Company and assist, or work in conjunction with, the Company in securing contracts and funds to develop projects.
Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc.
In 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with HSRF (one of the Company's related nonprofit companies) for the purpose of construction of projects consisting of the financing, construction and operation of high speed rail and related projects across the United States. HSRF is designed to focus on the building of train tracks and stations. Pursuant to the agreement between the Company and HSRF, the Company will act as the agent and representative of HSRF to perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct such projects. The Company anticipates that having this agreement in place and by having HSRF already organized will expedite the process of commencing a project once the Company designs and develops and secures or raises funds to commence a project.
Hi Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc.
In 2010, the Company entered into a written agreement with HSRFP(one of the Company's related nonprofit companies) for the purpose of construction of projects consisting of the financing, construction and operation of various high speed rail and related projects across the United States. Pursuant to such agreement between the Company and HSRFP, the Company was appointed as the agent and representative of HSRFP to perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct such projects. HSRFP was organized to provide a vehicle to issue bonds and help secure infrastructure projects for the Company focusing on facilities ancillary to the high speed rail such as rail yards rail, rail assembly plants maintenance facilities. The Company anticipates that having this agreement in place and by having HSRF already organized will expedite the process of commencing a project once the Company designs and develops and secures or raises funds to commence a project.
Master Trust Indenture Agreement
On December 1, 2010, HSRF entered into a Master Trust Indenture agreement providing that HSRF serve as trustee for a bond offering of $15,000,000,000 of HSRF Revenue Bonds Series 2010. In April 2012 this Indenture was amended to reflect a Master Indenture of $20,000,000,000. The Company will act as developer for the project financed by the Hi Speed Indenture. The Master Trust Indenture provides the basic terms and conditions of any bond issuance such as use of an escrow agent, rights of bond holders, sale of bonds, etc. At the time that any bonds are to be issued, the Company will engage an asset manager and trustee for the indenture.
ING Investment Management
In the event that a bond offering is effected, each of the nonprofits has entered into an investment management agreement with ING Investment Management to manage any funds raised in such bond offering and to provide its investment advisory services. This non-binding agreement would only take effect upon the raising of revenues bonds. ING Investment Management would serve to invest, reinvest and supervise the management of any such funds while such funds were held in an investment account and until use for the intended purposes.
Alabama Toll Road
The Company is working to develop a project to build a toll road in the State of Alabama. Ameri Metro 2010 was developing this project at the time of the merger. The planned toll road is designated as a 352 mile 4-lane road designed to be built from Orange Beach, Alabama to the Tennessee state line with the intent of connecting various rural sections of Alabama to Tennessee and more urban areas.. Shah Mathias, the CEO of the Company, perceived a need for such a road that would connect various rural sections of Alabama to Tennessee and with its more urban areas and began working on its development in 2005.
As its first step, Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. (ATFI) was created and obtained status as a nonprofit corporation pursuant to Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a nonprofit corporation, ATFI is allowed to make bond offerings in order to finance the cost of acquisition and construction and equipping of the toll road project. Mr. Mathias was one of the directors of ATFI and has subsequently resigned his position.
In 2007, the toll road project was presented to the Alabama legislature which on June 7, 2007, adopted Act no. 2007-506 entitled "Expressing Support for the Alabama Toll Road Project". This Act stated that it recognized the need to utilize other financial resources to meet the needs of that highways and other infrastructure items such as that offered by ATFI. The Act urged approval of the bonds offered by ATFI as special revenue bonds with the project eventually vesting to the state upon retirement of the bonds. The Act further supports designating ATFI as the exclusive entity for creation and development of the toll road project.
As a second step, on September 23, 2009, Penndel Land Company (Penndel), a company wholly owned by Shah Mathias (the Company's CEO) entered into an agreement with ATFI by which Penndel was appointed as the agent and representative of ATFI to perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct the toll road.
Thirdly, on December 1, 2010, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Transportation & Infrastructure, Inc. ("GTI"). in the state of Delaware to provide development and construction services for the Alabama highway project and to include securing financing for the design, planning, engineering and related costs of construction.
In December 2010, Penndel assigned its agreements with ATFI to GTI. As such the Company, through its subsidiary, GTI, has the development rights for such toll road. Under the terms of the agreement, GTI will provide development and construction services. GTI will also act as an agent and representative to take actions necessary to secure the first and future phases of the financing applicable to the design, planning, engineering and related soft and hard costs of the construction of a toll road in the state of Alabama and related activities.
Alabama Indenture Agreement
On December 1, 2010, ATFI entered into a Master Trust Indenture agreement with as HSRF Trustee, which has agreed to serve as the trustee for the bond offering of up to $7,000,000,000 of ATFI Revenue Bonds once it determines to effect such an offering if ever. The Alabama Indenture indicates that the developer for the project will be GTI. In April 2012 the Alabama Indenture was amended to reflect a Master Indenture of $20,000,000,000. The Master Agreement provides the basic terms and conditions of any bond issuance such as use of an escrow agent, rights of bond holders, sale of bonds, etc. At the time that any bonds are to be issued, the Company will engage an asset manager and trustee for the indenture.
Damar TruckDeck
The Company also plans to develop projects as opportunities are presented related or ancillary to the transportation or transportation-related fields. The Company entered into a contract for the acquisition of the patents, rights, titles, and business of Damar Corporation LLC, the inventor, developer and manufacturer of Damar TruckDeck. (See www.damartruckdeck.com). The Damar Corporation was incorporated in 2007 to develop, manufacture and market the truck deck component invented and developed by its owner. The Damar Corporation has filed a patent application covering its truck deck system. The Damar TruckDeck is a flexible truck deck storage and organization system that with an integrated frame allowing the cargo deck to be used as a hauling surface. The system has many configurations to fit a wide variety of uses (hunting, construction, moving, hauling, etc.) in various truck deck sizes. The Damar TruckDeck primarily consists of lockable repositionable storage units.
The advantages of the Damar TruckDeck system are as follows:
1. Organize gear in removable containers with the DAMAR Load-N-GoÔ containers, easily converting a truck's usage by quickly swapping containers. 2. Protect items in lockable hatches. Lockable, repositionable hatches protect items in the Load-N-GoÔ containers from theft and weather while a rear hatch allows the full length of the bed to be used for securing longer materials.
3. Keep ability to haul large items. The recessed CargoDeck surface is built to support and haul large materials and equipment, and by maintaining some bed wall height there is no need to strap items down.
4. Can be installed or removed in minutes by one person with no tools and no drilling. The Damar Corporation has entered into contracts for sale of its Damar TruckDeck with Lowe's, The Home Depot, Advanced Auto Parts, Sam's Club, Costco and Meyer Distributing.
The Company shall receive all rights and title to the patents, the TruckDeck system, and all related assets, for a purchase price of:
1. $750,000 payable as $500,000 cash and the remaining $250,000 payable in the form of Shares of the Company's common stock; and
2. Royalty payments equal to $2.50 for each unit sold from items arising from the patent, including the Damar TruckDeck, for a period of five years.
After such five years, the parties will renegotiate the terms of the agreement. If no agreement can be reached, then the parties agree to extend the royalty payments for one addition year after which time all royalty payments will terminate.
3. The cash payment portion of the purchase price is payable within 90 days of the successful completion of the registration as a publicly traded company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company cannot effect this agreement until its raises the funds necessary to the acquisition of such assets as listed in the agreement.
Port Trajan Project
The Port Trajan 5 project is a transportation project located in the Antrim Township, Greencastle, Pennsylvania on the Interstate 81 corridor and the railroad "Crescent Corridor", a 2,500 mile network of rail and terminals. Norfolk Southern is operating a rail-truck facility in this corridor and the State of Pennsylvania has provided funding toward the development of additional facilities along this corridor. The Company envisions the development of the land next to such corridor, which it has termed the Port Trajan Project. The Company anticipates that it will construct a distribution center consisting of a terminal and a rail line between the main rail track to the highway for the transition of shipping containers from the rail line to waiting trucks. The distribution center will provide the facility for repackaging the shipments into containers or other shipments destined for final destination by truck.
The Company anticipates that such project will be completed in phases the first of which is the purchase of an initial 345 acres at $350,000 per acre. The purchase price will include all on-site horizontal improvements. Off-site improvements will be acquired at an additional $20,000,000. The land is currently owned by a related company and the Company hags entered into a letter of intent for its purchase.
The Market
The Company believes that the United States suffers from an overburdened transportation infrastructure and that a fundamental overhaul of the national transportation structure is needed. The Company anticipates that it will be able to assist in this fundamental overhaul by providing both the hands-on expertise and investment resources to establish an intermodal grid comprised of transportation and support services extending to urban and outlying areas alike. The Company will largely focus on projects related to high speed rail, but will also concentrate its efforts on other transportation projects that improve transportation infrastructure.
The Company believes that there is a compelling need to revitalize Americas transportation infrastructure. As all levels of government are facing increasing economic crisis, the Company anticipates that such revitalization will be the result of public-private partnerships and alliances to create the basis for developing such an infrastructure. Organizations, such as the Company, are accordingly poised to play a significant role in the redevelopment and improvement of the nations transportation infrastructure.
The Company believes that the transportation infrastructure crisis facing America is two-fold. In the first instance, the existing infrastructure lacks modernity and has rendered the same incapable of meeting the nations transportation needs. In the second instance, the funding to address this problem is currently beyond the reach of the federal, state, regional, and municipal governments.
The 2009 David R. Goode National Transportation Policy Conference held at the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia, outlined the compelling need to revitalize Americas transportation infrastructure and recommended that Public private partnerships need to emerge from the laboratory of pilot programs to play a much larger role as a core element of Americas transport investment strategy. Organizations, such as the Company, are accordingly poised to play a significant role in the redevelopment and improvement of the nations transportation infrastructure. The same transportation conference also noted that, Lacking a coherent vision for our transportation future and chronically short of resources, we defer new investments, fail to plan, and allow existing systems to fall into disrepair. This shortsightedness and under investmentat the planning level and on our nations roads, rails, airports and waterwayscosts the country dearly. It compromises our productivity and ability to compete internationally; transportation users pay for the systems inefficiencies in lost time, money and safety. Rural areas are cut off from economic opportunities and even urbanites suffer from inadequate public transportation options. Meanwhile, transportation-related pollution exacts a heavy toll on our environment and public health.
Furthermore, the conference report was equally insistent on the need for private sector funding. In Recommendation 8: Connecting the Dots, the cochairs wrote: Resolving the controversy over private equity contributions to the transport system is essential to meet the nations pressing transportation challenges, as is recognizing the appropriate role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in taking on those challenges. They added, PPPs need to emerge from the laboratory of pilot programs to play a much larger role as a core element of Americas transport investment strategy.
To resolve this crisis will require a massive infusion of capital. The National Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing Commission, in its 2009 report Paying Our Way estimates the total shortfall between what is required and what is available, at all levels of government, just for maintaining the current system range from $134 billion to $194 billion per year for the period 2008 to 2035. If the goal is to improve existing transportation systems, the shortfall is even larger: $189$262 billion per year over the same time period.
The main problem is that the funds to either maintain or improve existing transportation systems are simply not available from traditional sources. Taxpayers at all levels of government are loath to support any tax increases for infrastructure projects. New transportation systems are frequently discussed at all levels of government but the public funding for implementing such plans is usually non-existent.
Entry of the Company into the Market
The Company anticipates that it can offer a comprehensive, intermodal approach to resolving the nations transportation crisis. And it proposes doing so without the necessity of the government increasing taxes at any level, or in any manner. In short, the Company suggests replacing pubic financing with private funding.
The primary competitive barrier most companies face in attempting to impact the nations infrastructure crisis is that they approach the overall problem in disparate segments. For example, one provider proposes building railroad cars, while another proposes laying tracks. A third is interested in depots, while a fourth focuses on accommodations. None bring a comprehensive plan for full-funding to the mix. On the other hand, the Company takes an intermodal approach to providing seamless service with a scale of economy. The high-speed rail plan will utilize existing rail rights-of-way to connect several metropolitan areas and states serving expanding populations.
The Company also foresees pursuing joint ventures with other industries related to the transportation industry. For example, it is currently finalizing an arrangement with a major manufacturer of certain materials used in the construction of highways and other transportation systems. The discussions contemplate a two-fold transaction by which the Company would initially buy the manufacturing plant and then subsequently purchase the remaining non-cash assets of the company.
Competition
The Company may face significant competition from other companies that may be developing high speed rail passenger and freight transportation systems. As this industry is not well developed in the United States to date, such competition that may exist is primarily in the development and planning stages. The Company will, however, face competition in the allocation of monetary resources from governmental agencies, at the local, regional, state and federal levels. The Company believes that government agencies will strongly endorse its proposed plan for high-speed regional rail systems, but believes that, given the economic environment, there may be few or no funds available for such development.
Nevertheless, it appears that significant competition generally exists in the industry, from private organizations or government agencies and entities. On the heels of the Department of Transportations recent request for high-speed rail proposals, its Federal Railroad Administration received 132 applications from 32 states totaling $8.8 billion. That was more than three times the $2.4 billion available. During the first round of awards in the fall of 2009, applicants submitted more than $55 billion in project proposals. That was nearly six times the initial $8 billion available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. So overwhelming has the response been that Transportation Secretary LaHood observed at the time, that, Demand for high-speed rail dollars is intense and it demonstrates just how important this historic initiative is. States understand that high-speed rail represents a unique opportunity to create jobs, revitalize our manufacturing base, spur economic development and provide people with an environmentally friendly transportation option..
Trading Market
Currently, there is no trading market for the securities of the Company.
Employees
In addition to the Chief Executive Officer, the Company has one paid administrative employee and approximately thirteen other persons who are working on behalf of the Company to assist in the development of its initial high-speed rail project. None of these people currently receive salaries or other compensation and no salaries have been accrued. The Company has issued stock to these people for their consulting and professional services. At the time the Company becomes a public company, the Company will hire these people as employee. Only Mr. Mathias is employed by the Company in a full-time capacity.
Subsidiaries
The Company has one subsidiary, Global Transportation & Infrastructure Inc. ("GTI") incorporated in the state of Delaware. GTI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company owns 25% of each of the companies listed in the section "Related Companies".

Going Concern
The Company has negative working capital, has incurred losses since inception, and has not yet received significant revenues from sales of products or services. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations.
Managements plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and on-going operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors create substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires making estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company does not currently have any issues with respect to revenue recognition policies, and does in all material respects, comply with generally accepted accounting principles.
Share-based payments
The Company may issue shares of common stock to employees and non-employees for services. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
The Company will estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the underlying stock and the expected life of stock options. Projected data related to the expected volatility of stock options is based on the average volatility of the trading prices of comparable companies and the expected life of stock options is based upon the average term and vesting schedules of the options. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore the existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of our stock options and warrants.
The Company will estimate the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services based on the price of shares of the Companys common stock sold in contemporaneous private placements of offerings on the date shares are granted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No recent accounting pronouncements or policies were issued.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This evaluation was done as of the end of the fiscal year under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer. There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, they believe that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not totally effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports is recorded, summarized and processed timely. The officer is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company but is not experienced in the preparation or filing the reports required to be filed.

Management's Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's chief executive officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2012, based on the criteria establish in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2012, based on those criteria. The Company's management has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting related to the following matters:
A lack of sufficient segregation of duties. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design over these areas relies primarily on defective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard company assets.
A lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to the Company's limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform certain tasks as it relates to financial reporting.
The Company's plan to remediate those material weaknesses remaining is as follows:
Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by continuing to augment existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions. The Company plans to mitigate the segregation of duties issues by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once it generates significantly more revenue, or raises significant additional working capital.
Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.
The independent registered public accounting firm has not issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Steve Trout, Secretary/Treasurer and a director, is the brother-in-law of Shah Mathias, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Shahjahan Mathias is the brother, and Sohual Matthias is the cousin, of Shah Mathias.
On September 3, 2010, the Jewel's Real Estate Limited Partnership (a partnership controlled by the Company's CEO) assigned a mortgage in the amount of $3,723,353 to the Company for certain undeveloped real property located in Pennsylvania in exchange for 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock and $700. The mortgage bears interest at 10.5% and comes due in January 2013. If parcels of the tract are sold prior to that date installments payments will become due according to a schedule. Interest income accrued for the year ended July 31, 2011 was $343,824.
The Company recorded additional paid in capital of $5,399,993 which consists of $3,722,641 from the common shares issued to Jewel's Real Estate Limited Partnership in exchange for the assignment of the mortgage and $1,510,419 for the common shares issued to Penndel to pay off the mortgage plus accrued interest.
Penndel Land Development Co. (a company controlled by the Company's CEO) held the mortgage to 50 acres of property in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and assigned it to the Company in 2010. The Company took the deed to that property when the borrower defaulted on the mortgage. The owner of the property had used that property as security for another loan on which it defaulted and that lender foreclosed on the property and took title to the property through a Sheriffs Deed. As a result of the foreclosure and issuance of Sheriff's Deed, the Company does not claim value for the land on its balance sheet for the year ended July 31, 2011. The Company believes that notice and redemption was improper and that the foreclosure and issuance of Sheriff's Deed erroneous.
On April 14, 2010 the Company entered into a joint venture with Penndel Land Company, a related company primarily owned by the Shah Mathias, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, whereby Penndel will be the Company's exclusive land developer, provider of financial services in connection with raising capital for the land development and provider of all requisite technology for the land development. As part of this joint venture, Penndel will receive a percentage of each class of shares in the Company in exchange for $10,000,000 worth of consulting services.
On October 30, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with High Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. (a nonprofit entity established by the Company's CEO). Under the terms of the agreement, AMI will act as an agent and representative of High Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. to take actions necessary to secure the first and future phases of the financing applicable to the design, planning, engineering and related soft and hard costs of the construction of high speed rail and related activities. High Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. will be responsible for accepting, holding, administering, investing and disbursing funds obtained in connection with activities discussed above. The consulting fee will be 1.5% of the master bond indenture of $15 billion dollars.
In November 2011, the Company entered into agreement with High Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. and High Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc. (nonprofit corporations established by the Company CEO) to provide construction services and advisory services.
In July 2011, the Company signed a letter of intent with HSR Technologies, Inc. that HSR Technologies will provide to the Company exclusive use of rail technologies and use of its know-how for manufacturing of train sets meeting the new Federal Rail Administration and American Public Transportation Association safety specifications. The Company will pay HSR Technologies, Inc. a nonrefundable deposit of 250,000 common shares and 200,000 of preferred shares of the Company and the sum of $25,000,000 60 days after the Company becomes a listed company.
On December 1, 2010, Penndel Land Company (a related Party) assigned the contract rights related to a construction agreement entered into with Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. No consideration was given in relation to the assignment of the contract rights. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company's subsidiary; GTI, will provide development and construction services. GTI will also act as an agent and representative to take actions necessary to secure the first and future phases of the financing applicable to the design, planning, engineering and related soft and hard costs of the construction of a toll road in the state of Alabama and related activities. The face amount of the contract is $6 billion at cost plus 30%, plus 2% over the adjustment for the increase in inflation, but not less than such amount that will result in a profit of $1.8 billion. In addition, GTI will receive a fee of 2% of the funds generated through financing it secures for the project.
The Company entered into an agreement with Penndel Land Company for assignment of the contract (a related company owned by Shah Mathias, CEO of the Company) for 200,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock and 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be transferred to Penndel at such time as the Company becomes a trading company. The Company will also pay the initial sum of $40,000,000 to Penndel. Further consideration is to be paid as follows:
Payment to Penndel of two dollars and 13/100 ($2.13) per square foot of the right-of-way for construction of the roadway and for over pass air rights. Payment to Penndel of a sum equal to one dollar and 25/100 ($1.25) per square foot by one foot in height and sixty-nine cents ($0.69) per foot of height thereafter.
In the same agreement, the Company also secured additional construction contract for future phases adding an $8 billion dollar contract at cost plus 30 percent, plus 2 percent over the adjustment for the increase in inflation, but not less than such amount that will result in an additional profit of $2.4 billion. In addition GTI will receive a fee of 2 percent of the funds generated through financing it secures for the project.
In July 2011, the Company contracted with its related companies to sell to those companies the concession rights to build and operate development of those long-range planned Port Ostia, Port of De Claudius and KSJM airport projects. The Company signed a letter of intent that calls for Port of Ostia to pay to the Company$150,000,000 for concession rights, Port De Claudius to pay the Company $100,000,000, and KSJM airport to pay the Company $150,000,000. None of these payments will be made until such time as the Company, and its related companies, are operating, have revenues and have instituted the business plan.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Ameri Metro, Inc.
Red Lion, PA 17356
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ameri Metro, Inc. as of July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from April 13, 2010 (date of inception) to July 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Companys 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ameri Metro, Inc., as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, and the period from April 13, 2010 (date of inception) to July 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Ameri Metro, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has limited working capital, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 12. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid services, accrued expenses, and a loan payable to a related party. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
The capital assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation for book purposes.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current period statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has yet to realize significant revenues from operations and is still in the development stage. The Company recognizes revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is collection is reasonably assured.
Dividends

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Companys policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of July 31, 2012, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of July 31, 2012.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services, for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

AMI entered into a contract on June 10, 2010 for the acquisition of the patents, rights, titles, and business of Damar Corporation LLC, the inventor/developer/manufacturer of Damar TruckDeck. The Damar TruckDeck is a flexible truck deck storage and organization system with an integrated frame allowing the cargo deck to be used as a hauling surface.
AMI shall receive all rights and title to the patents, the TruckDeck system, and all related assets for a purchase price of $750,000 payable as $500,000 cash and the remaining $250,000 payable in the form of 7,500 shares of AMIs common stock. The cash portion is payable within 90 days of the successful completion of the registration as a publicly traded company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.
In addition, royalty payments equal to $2.50 for each unit sold from the items arising from the patent, including the Damar TruckDeck, for a period of five years. After five years, the parties will renegotiate the terms of the agreement. If no agreement can be reached, then the parties agree to extend the royalty payments for one additional year after which time all royalty payments will terminate. AMI has agreed to issue to its securities attorney 500,000 common shares at par value for services rendered after its initial registration statement has gone effective.
In February 2011, the Company issued an offer letter to purchase a rebar plant for cash of $4,750,000 and an option to purchase management services to support the operations of the plant.
On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a three month agreement with Transportation Economics & Management Systems, Inc. (TEMS) regarding consulting services in relation to the development of high-speed rail and other transportation projects by the Company. The agreement was initially extended until March 1, 2012 and subsequently extended until September 2013. Compensation for services under the agreement may not exceed $135,408 unless otherwise authorized by a supplemental agreement. Currently, the project is anticipated to cost $460,000 and will take six months to complete including presentation to potential investors.
In July 2011, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease. Rental expense for the twelve months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 was $6,622 and $500, respectively.
NOTE 12 LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company has negative working capital, has incurred losses since inception, and has not yet received significant revenues from sales of products or services. The ability of Ameri Metro to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations.
Managements plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and on-going operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors create substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
