Note 1 – Organization and Business

VETANOVA INC (“the Company) is in the business of building and operating sustainable photovoltaic (“PV”) solar powered, state of the art, greenhouse facilities which grow high value greenhouse produce.

As its initial development project, the Company expects to purchase, develop and operate four adjoining parcels of approximately 39 acres each, totaling approximately 157 acres in rural Pueblo County, Colorado (“Pueblo Complex”). The Pueblo Complex is currently majority owned by VitaNova Partners, LLC (“VitaNova”). The Pueblo Complex has an existing greenhouse facility consisting of 90,000 sq ft of growing space and 15,000 sq ft of warehouse space, another partially built greenhouse and two parcels of vacant land.

In 2020, VitaNova began acquiring and now owns or controls a supermajority of the preferred or controlling equity interests of the four parcels in the Pueblo Complex. The Pueblo Complex was significantly underpowered with only 300KVA of electrical power and no natural gas available. The lack of power made the initial greenhouse facility unsuitable for its intended purpose. Since acquiring control VitaNova has installed 1500KVA electrical service and is retrofitting the existing greenhouse with electrical environmental equipment that can be solar powered.

The Company received preliminary approval from C-PACE, a Colorado specialized solar financing program developed by federal, state and county governments. The Company is in the process of developing engineering necessary to complete the C-Pace financing application.

The Company recently completed a private placement and raised $556,129 by issuing 55,612,900 common shares along with 55,612,900 2-year warrants exercisable at $0.20 per share. VitaNova and John McKowen (“McKowen”) are considered affiliates and control entities of the Company. The Company currently has no independent directors. Both VitaNova and the Company have a common board member, Mr. McKowen. The Company expects to appoint independent directors after the purchase of Directors and Officers insurance.

On July 5, 2018, Mr. McKowen purchased a control block of 440,000 common shares of the Company,which at the time was a publicly traded shell, and appointed himself as its sole board member and Chief Executive Officer. On July 17, 2020, Mr. McKowen transferred his control block of the Company to VitaNova and began restructuring the Company. The Company currently is a fully reporting publicly traded shell on OTC Market Pink Sheets, symbol VTNA. As part of the restructuring, the Company issued 55,612,837 common shares to VitaNova and 29,369,230 common shares to Mr. McKowen, which is proportional to Mr. McKowen’s ownership of VitaNova.

Mr. McKowen was also issued 58,738,460 shares that are subject to repurchase by the Company for a price of $0.0001 per share, of which 29,369,230 shares will be released from repurchase if warrants issued in Company’s recent private placement are exercised to acquire at least 42,140,266 shares of Common Stock; and 29,369,230 shares will be released from repurchase if, prior to December 31, 2022, the Company completes a “sale lease back” of a solar powered property and receives gross proceeds of a least $6,000,000 from the sale. For purposes of federal securities laws, Mr. McKowen is deemed to beneficially own 56,052,837 shares purchased by VitaNova because of his ability to control VitaNova, as an officer and member of VitaNova.

On February 1, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement Form 10 to voluntarily register common stock, par value $0.0001per share of the Company, pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. The Company believes that when the Form 10 becomes effective, 60 days after the Form 10 filing, it will no longer be a shell company

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Those are readily convertible into cash and not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. The recorded amounts for cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Company did not maintain its own bank account. In January, 2021, the Company opened a separate bank account; therefore, the cash balance on March 31, 2021 is shown as cash and cash equivalents.

On July 17, 2020, VitaNova acquired a super majority of the Company, which at the time was a shell. At the time, the Company had no assets at, and its operating capital was provided by VitaNova pursuant to a Promissory Note dated August 17, 2020. On September 20, 2020, VitaNova commenced a private placement on behalf of the Company and raised $351,093 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The proceeds from the Company’s capital raise were deposited into VitaNova’s bank account and recorded on the Company’s books as “Due from Related Party.” In 2021, the Company completed its private placement by raising an additional $205,036. Those proceeds were deposited into a Company bank account opened on February 23, 2021.

Due from related party and Due to related party – VitaNova Partners, LLC

VitaNova owns approximately 22.05% of the Company. The Company currently has one director who is also the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as well as the Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of VitaNova.

During 2020, the Company’s funds were held as due the Company in a bank account owned by VitaNova. For the year ended December 31, 2020, VitaNova held $65,179 for the benefit of the Company. The Company

In January, 2021, the Company opened its own bank account.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company has determined the deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, no accrued interest or penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the balance sheet and no deferred tax asset is recognized.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributed to VETANOVA available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period.

As of December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2021, there were no dilutive effect from the warrants issued since it would be anti-dilutive.

Accounting for Equity Raise

The Company recently completed a private placement and raised $556,127 by issuing 55,612,900 common shares along with 55,612,900 warrants expiring on September 30, 2022 exercisable at $0.20 per share. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company closed on $351,092 in equity and issued 35,109,231 common shares and 35,109,231 warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company closed on $205,035 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires the Company to first analyze the warrant to determine if the warrant is a liability or equity instrument.

The warrants in the offering qualifies as equity. The issued warrant does not obligate the Company to repurchase its shares by transferring an asset. The warrant does not obligate the Company to settle the warrant by issuing a variable number of shares if the monetary value of the obligation is based on a predetermined fixed amount, variation in something other than the issuers stock price, or variations inversely related to the issuers stock price. Therefore, since there is no obligation on behalf of the Company, the warrants should be classified as equity.

The next step is to determine the fair value of the equity unit. The Company’s offering does not meet any of the four areas of ASC 820-10-30-3A requiring a fair value calculation; therefore, fair value equals the actual transaction value. The next step is to compute the fair in order to determine the allocation of value between the common shares and the warrants issued (ASC 815). The Company performed this calculation which gave a value of 50% to the warrant and 50% to the common shares.

The following variables were used to calculate the warrant value:

The common share value was computed by evaluating each equity raise closing date to VTNA’s market stock price to the price issue, which was $0.01/share.

Note 3 – Equity Transactions

The Company has authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001. The total issued common stock as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was 215,475,502 and 194,971,866 shares, respectfully.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 there were the following equity transactions:

During the year ended December 31, 2020 there were the following equity transactions:

Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has no commitments or contingencies.

Note 5 – Related Party Transactions

VitaNova Partners, which owns approximately 22.5% of VETANOVA, is providing management, including financial oversight, of VETANOVA. As of March 31, 2021, the Company owed VitaNova Partners $ 83,995. As of December 31, 2020 VitaNova Partners owed the Company $65,179.

On July 15, 2020, the Company and VitaNova entered into a consulting agreement whereby VitaNova would provide management services until the current private placement offering is completed and the shareholders of the Company can properly elect an independent board of directors and appoint Company officers. VitaNova is paid $456,000 annually for its management services. Payments are made in 12 monthly installments of $38,000. On December 15, 2020 the consulting agreement was amended to reduce payments to $19,000 a month effective January 1, 2021.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 there were the following equity transactions involving related parties:

Note 6 – Subsequent Events

The Company believes that when the Form 10 becomes effective, 60 days after the Form 10 filing, it will no longer be a shell company

Results of Operations

For Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

The Company did not begin operations until July, 2020; therefore, there were no operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had no revenues. During this period the Company recognized $192,804 in general and administrative expenses. This produced a loss of $192,804.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have begun our operations relying on external investors. Since inception in July, 2021, we have raised $556,129.

We believe with the anticipated influx of additional capital from external investors we will have sufficient capital to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the expansion of farming and water projects. To the extent our cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. We also may need to raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to effect one or more acquisitions of businesses, technologies and products. If additional funding is required, we may not be able to effect an equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

At the present time we have no available line or letters of credit.

To date we have only had limited revenue, which occurred the last one-half of 2020 via a sublease of farming land. Therefore, presently operations are not sufficient to sustain our operations without the additional sources of capital. As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $158,683. We generated no cash flow used in our operating activities, rather consumed $46,354 in cash for operations.

As of March 31, 2021, we had $159,216 in current assets and $93,995 in current liabilities. A large portion of the current liabilities ($83,995) is from amounts advanced by our related entity, VitaNova Partners, LLP.

Cash provided by financing activities was $205,036 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This was from sale of equity units.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results from operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Our preparation of such condensed consolidated financial statements and this Form 10-Q requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We follow specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments may affect the application of our revenue policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict, and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses.

Impairment Policy

At least once every year, management examines all of our assets for proper valuation and to determine if an impairment is necessary. In terms of real estate owned, this impairment examination also includes the accumulated depreciation. Management examines market valuations and if an additional impairment is necessary for lower of cost or market, then an impairment charge is recorded.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and change in the market values of our real estate properties and water assets. Because we had no market risk sensitive instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2021, it was determined that there was no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as of such date. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosures Controls and Procedures

Our management, comprised of our chief executive officer (CEO), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, and taking the matters described below into account, the Company’s CEO has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective during reporting period ended March 31, 2021.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. “Internal control over financial reporting” is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, which may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based upon our evaluation of internal controls, the Company’s management determined that the Company’s controls over financial reporting were not adequate to ensure complex accounting calculations were performed correctly. As such, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures contain a material weakness as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Because of the material weaknesses identified, a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement in our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. While our internal controls are established and followed, it is clear by the identified weaknesses that they were not operating as they should be. Management believes that this was the case due to our limited staff along with time constraints and staff turnover. However, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who is also our Principal Accounting Officer, believes that the financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

The remediation effort outlined below is intended to address the identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

Once significant additional capital is raised, we plan to hire a qualified Chief Financial Officer. A short-term task of the new CFO will be to do a formal assessment of our internal controls.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to an exemption provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, enacted into law in July 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act provides smaller public companies and debt-only issuers with a permanent exemption from the requirement to obtain an external audit on the effectiveness of internal financial reporting controls provided in Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are a smaller reporting company and are eligible for this exemption under the Dodd-Frank Act.

We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the facts described above and employ any additional tools and resources deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.
