Pioneer Green Farms Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
Unaudited
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Pioneer Green Farms LLC (the “Company”) was established in the State of Florida on January 25, 2019, to start business operations in the agricultural segment of growing hemp products. The Company realized its first harvest in 2021. The crops grown by the Company will be processed into non-THC hemp oil to be sold to third party manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers.
On May 10, 2021, the Company was converted to a Florida corporation and changed its name to Pioneer Green Farms, Inc.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The interim financial statements of Pioneer Green Farms are unaudited. These Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results reported in these Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The 2022 year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable at the time products and services are delivered. An allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely. The allowance (if any) is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company also determines a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical usage and projecting the year in which inventory will be consumed into a finished product. The valuation of inventories requires management to make significant assumptions, including the assessment of market value by inventory category considering historical usage, future usage and market demand for their products, and qualitative judgments related to discontinued, slow moving and obsolete inventories.
Seeds purchased and not planted at period end are recorded as inventory at the cost of the seeds. Crops in the field are not valued separately. The costs to plant seeds are expenses as incurred. Only after harvesting, drying, and extracting the oil is an inventory recorded for the cost of extracting and packaging the oil.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the statement of income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
F-5
Depreciation, Amortization, and Capitalization
The Company records depreciation and amortization when appropriate using the straight-line balance method over the estimated useful life of the assets. The Company estimates that the useful life of its buildings and improvements is 15 years and of its machinery and equipment is
to seven years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property’s useful life are capitalized. Property sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the appropriate accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income.Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. The Company did not recognize an impairment loss during 2023. There was an asset impairment recognized during the latter part of 2022.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
These tiers include:
Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3: defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying value of the Company’s cash, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and loan from shareholders approximates its fair value due to their short-term maturity.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods of services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the considerations that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probably that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes direct costs of selling items, direct labor cost, processing, and packaging costs.
F-6
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets, and operating lease liabilities in our balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the balance sheets.
Right of Use (ROU) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease.
Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the year ended March 31, 2023, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.
Subsequent Events
In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855), Subsequent Events the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2023 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any other material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has minimal revenue and accumulated losses of $1,315,598 as of March 31, 2023. The Company has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenue sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 – LAND PURCHASE NOTES PAYABLE
During December 2021and January 2022, the Company collected $360,000 from 12 investors to purchase a second farm in Florida. The purchase closed in January 2022 and each investor received a promissory note for $30,000 and 100,000 shares of stock. The notes are payable within one year and the Company recorded $120,000 of prepaid interest on the issuance of the stock. As of March 31, 2023, $120,000 of the interest had been recognized. Repayments of $1,000 and $72,500 occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
F-7
NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company elected to adopt the policy not to apply the recognition provisions to short term leases, therefore, lease payments under short term leases will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As of July 1, 2020, the Company holds a 25-year lease to a 5-acre orange grove and out-buildings. The minimum rent for the property is $1,000 per month. The Company also has a management contract with the landowners, to provide labor and services, at $6,500 per month plus 10% of the gross sales, with conditions. Both the land lease and the management contract increase by 3% each year on July 1
The land lease has been capitalized, at July 1, 2020, as a right of use asset with an equal right of use liability using a discount rate of 6%. The initial present value of the right-of-use asset and liability was
to be $211,460. The Company determined this lease to be an operating lease since the land never transfers to the lessee. The asset value will be reduced on a straight-line basis over the 25-year term. The liability will be increased or reduced by payments by the Company which are below or more than the imputed interest on the outstanding lease liability.During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $5,714 in lease expense for the land, $1,975 under month-to-month payments for an office lease and $5,100 in subsidy payments for a second office. Cash payments on the lease liability were $3,600.
Lease expense will be $17,500 per year under this lease on a straight-line basis.
Future minimum lease payments are as follows:
FY 2023 |
| $ | 9,739 |
FY 2024 |
| 13,309 | |
FY 2025 |
| 13,709 | |

Less imputed interest |
| (178,871) | |

| (684) | |
Long-term portion of lease liability | $ | 209,830 |
The Company has a cost sharing agreement with another company for office space in Palmetto, Florida. The Company’s portion of the rent, CAM and taxes is estimated to be $11,270 annually. The agreement started in March 2021 and can be changed or cancelled at any time.

Pioneer Green Farms, Inc. (formerly Pioneer Green Farms, LLC) (“Pioneer” or the “Company”) was established in January 2019 as a Florida-based limited liability company. In May 2021, the Company converted from a limited liability company to a C corporation. The Company’s business model is to grow hemp flowers from seeds to oil. The seed is planted and harvested then extracted to oil. The Company engages an extraction facility to extract the oil from the plants.
Due to the Company being based in Florida, it decided to apply for a hemp cultivation license in the State of Florida when the State of Florida legalized hemp production in July 2019. The climate in Florida enables the farm to grow three to four crops per year with much lower overhead as opposed to Colorado where only one crop can be grown annually at higher operational costs in an extremely competitive Colorado marketplace. Pioneer Green Farms entered a 25-year lease of 5 acres from Drymon’s. Drymon’s has been involved in citrus farming in Florida for many decades and has met all the State’s guidelines for licensed applicants. Pioneer owns the farming infrastructure which is expansive and controls the revenues from the flower and oil extracts.
Results of Operations
Impact of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and other Macroeconomic Factors on the Company’s Business Operations
The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities worldwide, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. In light of the uncertain and continually evolving situation relating to the spread of COVID-19, this pandemic could pose a risk to the Company. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.
There is also significant uncertainty as to the effect that the coronavirus may have on the amount and type of financing available to the Company in the future.
Macroeconomic factors such as inflation, rising interest rates, governmental responses there to and possible recession caused thereby also add significant uncertainty to our operations and possible effects to the amount and type of financing available to the Company in the future.
Since our inception, we devoted substantially all of our efforts and funding to planting and harvesting hemp for extraction and raising capital. We have not yet generated revenues from our planned operations.
Results of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated revenues of $0 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. No miscellaneous sales occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
As a result of no sales, we had no gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and three months ended March 31, 2022. Continued growth of the consumer market for CBD products and anticipated increases in competition are anticipated to continue to create pressure on sales and gross profit margins going forward.
Our Net Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, are ($95,478) and ($172,865) respectfully, a decrease of (45%). Our net loss decreased due to the decrease in general administration expenses and interest expenses. Contracted labor increased by $11,714 due to operations at the 2nd farm. General administration costs decreased by $78,938, due to fewer legal and professional fees relating to our stock offering. Interest amortization decreased by $10,096.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, we had $603,773 in total assets including cash and cash equivalents of $1,834, as compared to $612,522 in total assets including of cash and cash equivalents of $11,532 of December 31, 2022. The increase in total assets is primarily attributable to the purchase of a 2nd farm in Florida.
11
As of March 31, 2023, we had total liabilities of $1,017,152 including accounts payable of $51,798, accrual and other current liabilities of $75,827, related party loans of $382,513, notes payable of $296,500, and lease liabilities of $209,830. As of March 31, 2022, we had total liabilities of $943,223 including accounts payable of $48,504, accrual and other current liabilities of $75,397, related party loans of $321,214, notes payable of $287,500, and lease liabilities of $210,029. The increase is mainly due to an increase in related party loans to fund the operations at the new farm and pay interest on notes payable.

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Registration Statement. Of these policies, we believe that the following items are the most critical in preparing our financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from sale of goods is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income of the Company when significant risks and rewards of the ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyers.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Accounts Receivable (AR) is the payment which the Company will receive from its customers who have purchased its goods & services in the last month of the year and on credit terms. Usually the credit period is short, approximately a few days.
ASSESSMENT OF COLLECTABILITY:
● | Recording of Accounts Receivable: All amounts due on physical delivery of the merchandise from the drop shipper, must be promptly recorded as an accounts receivable. Each account receivable must be recorded and maintained until payment is received or the recorded amount is written off or extinguished. |
12
● | An adequate provision for doubtful accounts must be established. When all reasonable efforts fail to collect an account receivable and it has been approved for write off, the related provision for doubtful accounts should be reduced. |
● | Statements to Debtors: Statements must be issued to debtors, on a monthly basis, providing meaningful and concise information on the status of their debts. |
● | Accounts receivable are considered overdue when a debtor does not pay or resolve the debt within 30 days from the invoice date or a written request for payment to the debtor. |
● | All actions taken to collect overdue accounts must be documented. |
● | If there is no response after the initial contact at the 30-day point (within 30-day period 60 days from date of invoice),to the Company will take prompt and vigorous action to collect overdue accounts receivable. |
● | Accounts receivable, in most cases, should be at least 30 days overdue (i.e., 60 days after invoice notification), before staff advises debtors that their accounts are overdue and that the accounts may be: |
o | turned over to a private collection agency; |
o | subject to legal action; |
o | credit privileges will be revoked; and/or account may be suspended. |
Most Recent accounting pronouncements

Impact of Most Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recent accounting pronouncements that have had a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Management does not expect that its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Control systems, no matter how well-conceived and managed, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include those judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
13
future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of March 31, 2023, The Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission’s rules and forms and that its disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s internal controls are not effective for the following reasons, (1) there are no entity level controls, because of the limited time and abilities of the Company’s three officers, (2) there is no separate audit committee, and (3) the Company has not implemented adequate system and manual controls. As a result, the Company’s internal controls have inherent weaknesses, which may increase the risks of errors in financial reporting under current operations and accordingly are not effective as evaluated against the criteria set forth in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 version). Based on the evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2023.
Even though there are inherent weaknesses, management has taken steps to minimize the risk. The Company uses a third-party consultant to review transactions for appropriate technical accounting, reconcile accounts, review significant transactions, and prepare financial statements. Any deviation or errors are reported to management.
The Company can provide no assurance that its internal controls over financial reporting will be compliant in the near future. As revenues permit, the Company will enhance its internal controls through additional software and other means. If and when it becomes a listed company under SEC rules, the Company intends to create an audit committee comprised of independent directors.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the internal control over financial reporting.
