PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Fona, Inc. (the "registrant" or "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota in November 1990 under the name Fonahome Corporation. On March 24, 2009, the Company reincorporated in the state of Nevada and merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fona, Inc., adopting the surviving companys name, Fona, Inc. The Company was originally formed to develop and market an interactive information and advertising service.
Since December 1999, the Company has had no significant business operations other than licensing its internet-based Rent411 services to Desfaire, Inc. a company controlled by Nick T. Boosalis, a former officer and director of the Company. During the nine-year period ended December 31, 2007, the Companys aggregate revenues were approximately $409,000 consisting of license fees paid by Desfaire, Inc. and its aggregate operating losses were approximately $200,000. Approximately $454,000 of the Companys expenses during the nine-year period related to fees paid to third parties to provide the Rent411 services.
The Company has opted to become a "blank check" company and to further engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.
On March 3, 2009, the Company held a shareholder meeting approving the Stock Purchase Agreement and an Agreement and Plan of Merger effectively changing the name of the Company to Fona Inc., a Nevada corporation (Re-incorporation Merger) and simultaneously adopting the capital structure of Fona Inc., which includes total authorized capital stock of 800,000,000 shares, of which 780,000,000 are common stock and 20,000,000 are blank check preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series with such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions there of, as shall be stated in the resolutions adopted by the Corporations Board providing for the issuance of such preferred stock or series thereof.
1
On March 3, 2009, the shareholders also approved and ratified a January 22, 2008 Assignment Agreement under which the Company assigned the software and other rights relating to its Rent411 services, including the license with Desfaire, Inc. and substantially all of its worldwide copyrights, trademarks and other assets, consisting of fully depreciated office equipment and furniture with nominal market value, to The Boosalis Group, Inc., a company owned by Nick T. Boosalis, in consideration for which The Boosalis Group, Inc. assumed outstanding indebtedness of the Company totaling $34,714 and the issuance of a total of 1,980,834 shares of the Companys common stock, including: 498,237 shares approved in December 2007 and 39,957 in December 2008 to Nick T. Boosalis for forgiveness of loans to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $74,735 and $5,994, respectively; 322,047 shares approved in December 2007 to Richard Dillon, a former officer and director of the Company, for forgiveness of loans to the Company totaling $48,307; and 1,100,000 shares approved in December 2007 to Desfaire, Inc. for a cash payment of $11,000 and the payment on behalf of the Company of software development costs of more than $125,000.
On March 24, 2009, the Articles of Merger of Fonahome Corporation, a Minnesota Corporation, into Fona, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State.
On April 1, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 3,954,950 shares of our common stock (representing 50.1% of our outstanding shares of common stock following the issuance of such stock), including 1,977,475 shares issued to each of Sanford Schwartz and Michael Friess, each subsequently elected an officer and director of the Company, in consideration for the payment by each of $10,000, $5,000 paid in cash and $5,000 paid by the issuance to the Company of a promissory note. The notes were paid in May, 2009. On April 1, 2009, following the stock issuances to Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Friess, there were 7,894,111 outstanding shares of our common stock.
On April 22, 2009, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Nick T Boosalis and appointed Michael Friess as President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board, Sanford Schwartz as Vice President and a director, and Chloe DiVita as Secretary, Treasurer, CFO and a director of the Company.
On June 6, 2014, Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. (Evolutionary Genomics) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the First SPA) whereby Michael Friess, the former Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive of the Company and Sanford Schwartz, member of the Companys Board of Directors, agreed to sell, and Evolutionary Genomics, agreed to purchase, 366,000 shares of Common Stock from each of Messrs. Friess and Schwartz for an aggregate purchase price consideration of $145,000. The First SPA further gave Evolutionary Genomics an option to purchase an additional 1,611,475 shares of Common Stock from each of Messrs. Friess and Schwartz for an aggregate purchase price consideration of $10,000 (the Friess-Schwartz Option).
In conjunction with the First SPA, Evolutionary Genomics entered into a Securities Purchase Option Agreement with Nick Boosalis, a shareholder of the Company, Desfaire, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and affiliate of Nick Boosalis, and The Boosalis Group, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and also an affiliate of Nick Boosalis, for the purchase of an option to acquire an aggregate of 2,252,233 shares of Common Stock (the Boosalis Option).
On October 1, 2014, Evolutionary Genomics entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Second SPA) with Michael Friess, Sanford Schwartz, Nick Boosalis, Desfaire, Inc. and The Boosalis Group, Inc., pursuant to which, in consideration of $110,000, Evolutionary Genomics purchased, in the aggregate, 5,201,423 shares (the Shares) of the Companys Common Stock. Mr. Warnecke, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer Secretary and a Director prior to the Second SPA, is the Chief Executive Officer of Evolutionary Genomics and holder of 782,539 shares of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, representing 64.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock of Evolutionary Genomics, and 1,032,780 shares of commons stock, or 26.8% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Evolutionary Genomics. As a result of the Second SPA, there was a change in control of the Company. Evolutionary Genomics currently owns 5,933,423 shares of the Companys Common Stock, or 75.16%.
Other than the consummation of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 2, 2015 by and among Evolutionary Genomics, EG I, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, the Company, Fona Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Fona Merger Sub, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the Merger Agreement), there are no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, a further change in control at this time. The Company and the Board may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position, change their purpose or formulate plans or proposals with respect to a change in control.
2
Following the closing of the Second SPA, (i) Virginia Orndorff and Mark Boggess were appointed as directors of the Company, (ii) Messrs. Friess and Schwartzs voluntarily resigned as officers and directors of the Company, (iii) Steve B. Warnecke, the Companys Chief Financial Officer, was appointed the Companys President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and (iv) Walter Messier was appointed the Companys Secretary and Treasurer. Further, on October 1, 2014 as a part of the Second SPA the Friess-Schwartz Option and the Boosalis Option were cancelled.
Since December 2007, the Company has had insignificant operations. As such, the Company may presently be defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity.
The Company has opted to register its common stock pursuant to section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in an effort to maximize shareholder value. The best use and primary attraction of the Company as a merger partner or acquisition vehicle will be its status as a reporting public company. Any business combination or transaction is expected to result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to present stockholders of the Company.
The proposed business activities described herein classify the Company as a "blank check" company. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any additional offerings of the Company's securities, either debt or equity, until such time as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan described herein.
The Company maintains headquarters at the office of its Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not maintain a Web site. The Company is not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and at this time does not anticipate the distribution of such a report. The Company will file reports with the SEC.
The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the SEC in the SECs Public Reference Section, Room 1580, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Section by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy, and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov.
GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN
At this time, the Company' intends to execute on the transactions contemplated in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 2, 2015. There can be no guarantee that those transactions will be completed. If those transactions are not completed the Company will seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who seek or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation. Management anticipates that it may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. See "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA." This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to shareholders of the Company because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
The Company will continue to incur legal and accounting costs, including the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's and 10-Q's, agreements and related reports and documents. With limited resources, the Company relies on advances from its largest shareholder, Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. to fund those costs. There can be no guarantee that Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. will continue to make such advances.

Evolutionary Genomics, LLC was formed on May 1, 2000 as a Colorado limited liability company for the purpose of developing and implementing a unique approach to identification of genes that control commercially valuable traits in crop plants and for use in human healthcare. On June 6, 2007, Evolutionary Genomics, LLC entered into a merger agreement with Evolutionary Genomics, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and Evolutionary Genomics Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. resulting in Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. becoming the surviving entity. The merger became effective on July 31, 2007. Virginia Orndorff was Chief Executive Officer of Evolutionary Genomics through November 17, 2010 when Steve B. Warnecke was appointed by the Board of Directors as Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Orndorff remains as a member of the Board of Directors of Evolutionary Genomics.
EG I is a Colorado limited liability company formed on September 1, 2010. Combining both class A and class B interests, Evolutionary Genomics has 15.5% of the total 2,496,000 interests of EG I. The class A interests are entitled to receive 100% return of capital prior to any distribution to class B interests. EG I was formed to engage in research and commercialization of agricultural genetics and to engage in any related lawful business permitted by the Colorado Limited Liability Act. Evolutionary Genomics entered into a License and Service Agreement on October 14, 2010 with EG I under which Evolutionary Genomics will license certain patents, provide intellectual property and perform research services with the goal of identifying genes for the breeding, improvement and development of soybean plants.
COMPETITION
If the merger is not consummated, the Company will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. In view of the Company's extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, the Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company's competitors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
A. Conflicts of Interest. There are certain conflicts of interest between us, our officers and directors and our majority shareholder, Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of judgment in a manner which is consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company.
B. Need for Additional Financing. We have very limited funds, and such funds are unlikely to be adequate to take advantage of any available business opportunities. Even if our funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with, a business opportunity, we may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity. Our ultimate success may depend upon our ability to raise additional capital. We have not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until we determine a need for additional financing.
If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If such funds are not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be financed with our modest capital.
C. Regulation of Penny Stocks. Our securities will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission 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 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. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also may affect the ability of our shareholders in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop.
4
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
D. No Operating History or Revenue and Minimal Assets. The Company has had no operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations since 1999. The Company has no significant assets or significant financial resources. The Company will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in the Company incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until the Company can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. There is no assurance that the Company can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a business combination.
E. No Assurance of Success or Profitability. There is no assurance that we will consummate the transactions contemplated in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 2, 2015 or acquire any other business opportunity. Even if we should become involved in a business opportunity, there is no assurance that it will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of our common stock will be increased thereby.
F. Dependence Upon Management; Limited Participation of Management. We will be heavily dependent upon the skills, talents, and abilities of our officers and directors to implement our business plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of such persons to devote their full-time attention to our business results in a delay in progress toward implementing our business plan. Furthermore, we will be entirely dependent upon the experience of our officers and directors in seeking, investigating, and acquiring a business and in making decisions regarding our operations. Because investors will not be able to evaluate the merits of our possible business acquisitions, they should critically assess the information concerning our officers and directors.
G. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures which we may be unable to recoup.
H. Dependence Upon Outside Advisors. To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by our officers without any input from shareholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event management considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, they may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they are able to provide the required services.
I. Competition. If the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 2, 2015 are not consummated, the search for potentially profitable business opportunities is intensely competitive. We expect to be at a disadvantage when competing with many firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and capabilities than we do. These competitive conditions will exist in any industry in which we may become interested.
J. No Foreseeable Dividends. We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.
5
K. Loss of Control by Present Management and Shareholders. We may consider an acquisition in which we would issue as consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired, an amount of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The result of such an acquisition would be that the acquired company's shareholders and management would control the Company, and our management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership by our current shareholders.
L. Limited Public Market Exists. There is only a very limited public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that an active market will develop or that a shareholder ever will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Factors such as those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section may have a significant impact upon the market price of our securities. Because of the low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in our securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such securities as collateral for any loans.
M. Concerns regarding the current economic situation. The United States and the global business community have experienced periods of instability that may effect our ability to successfully complete a business combination.
N. Risks Associated with the Merger. In addition to other information included in this report, you should consider all of the risks relating to the proposed merger and our operations following the business combination including but not limited to:
1)
If the Mergers are consummated, we may require substantial additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which could force us to delay, reduce or eliminate planned activities or result in our inability to continue as a going concern;
2)
We have relied on the availability of grant funding to fund some of our research efforts and our inability to compete successfully for these limited grant funding opportunities may significantly affect our results of operations and our ability to complete research projects;
3)
Efforts to protect our intellectual property rights and to defend claims against us can increase our costs and will not always succeed; any failures could adversely affect profitability or restrict our ability to do business;
4)
Genes that we have discovered and may discover in the future with expected desirable impact on traits may, upon further research and field trials, be revealed to also have undesirable impact on traits;
5)
Others may find additional genes or other methods of accomplishing the same desired outcome that our biotechnology does, rendering our biotechnology less valuable or commercializable;
6)
The successful development of our research efforts and commercialization of our biotechnology will be necessary for our growth and profitability;
7)
We rely heavily on our founder, Walter Messier, our current Chief Technology Officer. The loss of his services would have a material adverse effect upon us and our business and prospects;
8)
We are dependent on a technically trained workforce and an inability to retain or effectively recruit such employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
9)
The cannabis industry, in which we hope to compete in the future, is relatively new, rapidly changing and subject to conflicting regulatory issues and it is very difficult to identify and describe all of the risks related to operating within this industry;
10)
Our investments in other entities may not be successful or may be illiquid for many years;
11)
We may pursue future growth through strategic acquisitions and alliances which may not yield anticipated benefits and may adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and existing business;
12)
Competition in agricultural biotechnology has significantly affected and will continue to affect our revenue and results of operations;
13)
Our customers are subject to extensive regulation affecting their use of our biotechnology, which may affect our revenue and profitability;
14)
The degree of public acceptance or perceived public acceptance of products made from our biotechnology can affect our sales and results of operations by affecting planting approvals, regulatory requirements and farmer purchase decisions;
6
15)
We are dependent upon other companies to integrate biotechnology that we have licensed to them into their breeding operations for our future license revenue; and
16)
The biotechnology industry is subject to rapid technological change, and if we fail to keep up with such change, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in the Companys reports to the Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Commission rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at these reasonable assurance levels for the reasons stated below.
Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable cost-effective assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. There is no assurance that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting can prevent all errors. An internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error may occur and not be detected. We monitor our disclosure controls and internal controls and make modifications as we believe appropriate given our financial resources and limited level of activities. Our intent in this regard is that our disclosure controls and our internal controls will improve as systems change and conditions warrant.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies such as the Company face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Companys operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our management, with the participation of the President, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President, concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses in the system of internal control described below.
Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies. (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SECs reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.
Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable cost-effective steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
Our Certifying Officers have indicated that there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of his evaluation, and there were no such control actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
None of the Company's officers and/or directors receives any compensation for their respective services rendered to the Company, nor have they received such compensation since the renewal of the Company's charter. They have agreed to act without compensation until authorized by the Board of Directors, which is not expected to occur until the Company has generated revenues from operations after consummation of a merger or acquisition. As of the date of this registration statement, the Company has minimal funds available to pay directors. Further, none of the directors are accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with the Company.
It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a merger or acquisition with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or more members of the Company's management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity, or otherwise provide other compensation to such persons. However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction remuneration to members of management will not be a consideration in the Company's decision to undertake any proposed transaction. Each member of management has agreed to disclose to the Company's Board of Directors any discussions concerning possible compensation to be paid to them by any entity which proposes to undertake a transaction with the Company and further, to abstain from voting on such transaction.
It is possible that persons associated with management may refer a prospective merger or acquisition candidate to the Company. In the event the Company consummates a transaction with any entity referred by associates of management, it is possible that such an associate will be compensated for their referral. It is anticipated that this compensation would be either in the form of restricted common stock issued by the Company as part of the terms of the proposed transaction, or will be in the form of cash consideration. However, if such compensation is in the form of cash, such payment will be tendered by the acquisition or merger candidate, because the Company has minimal cash available. The amount of such compensation, if any, cannot be determined as of the date of this registration statement.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Registrant for the benefit of its employees.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Companys officers and directors are also the officers and directors of Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. with whom the Company has entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 2, 2015. Mr. Warnecke is Evolutionary Genomics, Inc.s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and owns, directly or indirectly, 782,539 shares, or 64.2% of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock outstanding and 1,104,596 shares or 28.7% of the Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014.
Mr. Warnecke is also 100% owner of Sixty-Five Roses Ranch, Inc. which acts as the Managing Member of EG I, LLC, which is a party to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 2, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, Mr. Warneckes ownership, either directly or indirectly of EG I, LLC consisted of 495,772 of the 3,056,000 class A interests and Sixty-Five Roses Ranch, Inc. owned 169,778 of the 727,619 class B interests.
We maintain a mailing address at the offices of our chief executive officer, Steve B. Warnecke, located at 1026 Anaconda Drive, Castle Rock, CO 80108 for which we pay no rent. We anticipate that following the consummation of a business combination with an acquisition candidate, our office will be moved, but cannot predict future office or facility arrangements with our officers, directors or affiliates.
Although we have no current plans to do so, it is possible that we may enter into an agreement with an acquisition candidate requiring the sale of all or a portion of the common stock held by our largest shareholder to the acquisition candidate or principals thereof, or to other individuals or business entities, or requiring some other form of payment to our current shareholders, or requiring the future employment of specified officers and payment of salaries to them. Any payment to current shareholders in the context of an acquisition in which we are involved would be determined entirely by the largely unforeseeable terms of a future agreement with an unidentified business entity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Fona, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fona, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders (deficit), and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial position of Fona, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1, the Company has no business operations and has negative working capital and stockholders deficits, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to this matter is also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
(1) Summary of Accounting Policies, and Description of Business
This summary of significant accounting policies of Fona, Inc. (Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
(a) Organization and Description of Business
The Company was incorporated as Fonahome Corporation in 1990 under the laws of the State of Minnesota. On March 3, 2009, the Company held a shareholder meeting approving a migratory merger to Nevada and a name change to Fona, Inc., which became effective March 24, 2010.
The Company initially developed and marketed an interactive information and advertising service, but ceased all major operations in December, 1999. Currently the Company plans to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.
Effective August 1, 2008, the Company commenced activities to become a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with the intention to become a publicly trading company.
On March 2, 2015, Evolutionary Genomics, Inc. (EG), EG I, LLC (EG I) and the Company, Fona Merger Sub, Inc. (Sub) and Fona Merger Sub, LLC (Sub LLC), entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions, Sub will merge with EG and Sub LLC will merge with EG I, with each EG and EG I surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the Mergers).
(b) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Per Share Information
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is not shown for periods in which the Company incurs a loss because it would be anti-dilutive.
(d) Basis of Presentation - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has no business operations and has negative working capital and stockholders deficits, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
F-7
FONA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
(1) Summary of Accounting Policies, Continued
In view of these matters, continued operations of the Company is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has financed its operations primarily through cash advances from related parties, which has advanced the Company a total of $11,674 for working capital on an as needed basis, including $25,162 during the year ended December 31, 2014. There is no assurance that these advances will continue in the future.
The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger as amended by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 2, 2015 and believes that consummating this merger provides an opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
(e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2014 and 2013, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 in August 2014 regarding disclosure of uncertainties about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 in June 2014 which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements for development stage companies. This update was required to become effective for the Company as of the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014 and early adoption is permitted. The Company elected early adoption of this update.
(f) Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in starting a new business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a business combination.
(g) Revenue Recognition
It is the Company's policy that revenue is recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Under SAB 104, product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.
(i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC Subtopic 825-10 ("ASC 825-10"), "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." ASC 825-10 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amount of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accounts payable-related party approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities.

December 31, 2014 and 2013
(1) Summary of Accounting Policies, Continued
(j) Income Taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, the effect of net operating losses, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
(k) Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no amounts of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.
(l) Reclassification
Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.
(m) Other
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company has paid no dividends.
No advertising expense has been incurred.
The Company consists of one reportable business segment.
The Company has not entered into any leases.
(2) Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Companys deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards, limited by the value of the shell. The net operating loss carry forward if not used, will expire in various years through 2032, and is severely restricted as per the Internal Revenue code if there is a change in ownership. The Companys deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards. Net operating loss carry forwards may be further limited by other provisions of the tax laws. Our income tax returns are no longer subject to Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before December 31, 2011.

The change in valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily a result of the change in value of the Company resulting from the change of control under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 6, 2014, partially offset by the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014.
