PART I


Item 1.

Business


This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.


Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.


Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.


In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

 

As used in this current report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms "we", "us", "our" and "our company" mean Potash America, Inc., unless otherwise stated.


General Overview


We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007 as Adtomize Inc.  On June 29, 2010, we underwent a change of control and on September 8, 2010, we affected a split of our authorized capital and our issued and outstanding common shares on an 80 for 1 basis. On March 3, 2011, we changed our name to Potash America, Inc., and began looking for opportunities to acquire exploration stage mineral properties. We maintain our business offices at 2234 North Federal Highway, Suite 396, Boca Raton, FL, 33431 and our telephone number is (310) 500-5093.


Before we went through a change of control and business focus, we were engaged in the business of developing an online advertising brokerage service to bring together high traffic web site publishers with companies wishing to place ads on them in order to drive traffic to their own internet sites. Since our inception, we had been attempting to raise money to operate this business, but were not able to secure the funds necessary to do so. The lack of funds and the state of the economy prevented that from happening. As were unable to raise the capital necessary to develop and market the service, we searched for other business opportunities that would benefit our shareholders and allow us to raise capital and operate.


Current Business


Newfoundland Mineral Property


Shortly after changing our business focus to exploration stage properties, we identified an opportunity to acquire a Newfoundland mineral property from Habitants Minerals Ltd.  We entered into a letter of intent on March 15, 2011 with Habitants Minerals Ltd. (“Habitants”) with respect to an acquisition of an undivided 100% interest in certain unpatented mineral claims located in Western Newfoundland, Canada (the “Newfoundland Property”).


On June 6, 2011, we entered into and closed a property acquisition agreement with Habitants.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we acquired the Newfoundland Property. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we agreed to provide the following payments to Habitants:



4




The aggregate consideration of $50,000 consisting of the following:


·

$30,000, which was previously provided to Habitants, and


·

the balance of $20,000, which was provided on the closing of the agreement.


An additional payment to continue holding this property was due on June 30, 2013 and we decided to abandon this project.  The mining claims have been fully impaired as of March 31, 2013.


Sodaville, Nevada Claims


On May 11, 2011, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire a 100% interest in 39 Bureau of Land Management claims in Sodaville, Mineral County, Nevada (the “Sodaville Claims”). Pursuant to the terms of the letter of intent our company advanced the following payments to the administrator of the claims, Ms. Kim Diaz:


1.

$20,000, of which $5,000 was disbursed to Ms. Diaz, contemporaneously with the execution of the letter of intent; and


2.

$5,000, which was provided upon the execution of the letter of intent, to enable Ms. Diaz and Elwayne E. Everett to commence the bentonite project on the adjacent property;


Under the terms of the letter of intent our company and Ms. Diaz were required to enter into an option agreement on or before August 31, 2011.  Pursuant to the option agreement our company would be required advance $10,000 to Ms. Diaz to cover reimbursement on the 39 Sodaville Claims which would be deducted from the required payment of $210,000 to Ms. Diaz upon execution of the option agreement.


On August 31, 2011 we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Ms. Kim Diaz and Sonseeahry related to the acquisition of the 100% interest in the Sodaville Claims. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement our company issued a pre-closing advance of $200,000 (paid on August 29, 2011).


As additional consideration our company will pay compensation as follows:


1.

$200,000 on November 31, 2011 ($465,645 paid as of March 31, 2012, which includes the $200,000 pre-closing advance and $65,645 in related pre-payment fees);

2.

$50,000 on July 1, 2012 (paid);

3.

$1,500,000, to be paid in equal payments of $500,000 on or before January 1st of 2013, 2014 and 2015;

4.

2,500,000 shares of our company’s common stock based on the pro-rata interest in the claims and a total of 500,000 shares to those parties designated by the sellers on or before July 1st of 2012, 2013 and 2014 (1,000,000 shares issued);


We also agreed to pay a royalty of $10 per short ton of product produced from the Sodaville Claims and sold by our company.  


We abandoned this project during the year ended March 31, 2013 and returned all rights back to the seller.  As such, the mining claims capitalized as part of this acquisition have been fully impaired as of March 31, 2013.


Our company has also located 48 unpatented lode mining claims (the “Additional Claims”) in the area in which the Sodaville Claims are located. These claims were written off as of March 31, 2013.

Credit Facility Agreements


On March 15, 2011, we entered into a credit facility agreement. The lender agreed to provide us with a line of credit in the amount of up to $200,000 wherein, within three business days after receipt of notice from us, the lender would advance amounts requested to our company. On June 22, 2011, the credit facility agreement was amended to increase the size of the line of credit to a total of $1,000,000.  We shall use the advances to fund working capital and general corporate activities.  Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility agreement, our company shall pay any outstanding amounts to the lender on demand. We may also repay the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum.


On November 22, 2011, we entered into a second credit facility agreement in which the lender agreed to provide our company with a line of credit in the amount of up to $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility agreement, our company shall pay any outstanding amounts to the lender on demand. Our company may also repay the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum.


On April 12, 2012, we entered into a $1,000,000 letter of credit agreement dated March 27, 2012. Pursuant to the terms outlined in the letter of credit, at any time our company may require any and all funds outstanding under the letter of credit, except for accrued interest which is to be paid in cash, to be converted into units of our company at a price of $0.80 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $1.50 US for a period of five years. Our company will pay annual interest of 5% until the loan is repaid or converted into units. Our company will issue 1,250,000 units when the exercise provision is enacted.


Market, Customers and Distribution Methods


Although there can be no assurance, large and well capitalized markets are readily available for all minerals throughout the world. A very sophisticated futures market for the pricing and delivery of future production also exists. The price for minerals is affected by a number of global factors, including economic strength and resultant demand for minerals for production, fluctuating supplies, mining activities and production by others in the industry, and new and or reduced uses for subject minerals.


The mining industry is highly speculative and of a very high risk nature. As such, mining activities involve a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Few mining projects actually become operating mines.


The mining industry is subject to a number of factors, including intense industry competition, high susceptibility to economic conditions (such as price of minerals, foreign currency exchange rates, and capital and operating costs), and political conditions (which could affect such things as import and export regulations, foreign ownership restrictions). Furthermore, the mining activities are subject to all hazards incidental to mineral exploration, development and production, as well as risk of damage from earthquakes, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to or loss of property and equipment and possible environmental damage. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions are also involved in mineral exploration and development.


Competition


The mineral exploration industry is highly competitive. We are a relatively new exploration stage company and have a weak competitive position in the industry. We compete with junior and senior mineral exploration companies, independent producers and institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking to acquire mineral exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to operate on those properties. Competition for the acquisition of mineral exploration interests is intense with many mineral exploration leases or concessions available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack the technological information or expertise available to other bidders.


Many of the mineral exploration companies with which we compete for financing and for the acquisition of mineral exploration properties have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring mineral exploration interests of merit or on



6



exploring or developing their mineral exploration properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire mineral exploration properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to acquire further mineral exploration interests or explore and develop our current or future mineral exploration properties.


We also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to invest in such companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our acquisition or exploration programs if investors perceive that investments in our competitors are more attractive based on the merit of their mineral exploration properties or the price of the investment opportunity. In addition, we compete with both junior and senior mineral exploration companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, land specialists, engineers, camp staff, helicopters, float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.


General competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of the United States and other countries, as well as factors beyond our control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for mineral exploration.


In the face of competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or developing profitable mineral properties or interests, and we cannot give any assurance that suitable mineral properties or interests will be available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we hope to compete successfully in the mineral exploration industry by:


·

keeping our costs low;

·

relying on the strength of our management’s contacts; and

·

using our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing market conditions or responding swiftly to potential opportunities.


Intellectual Property


We have established a website and maintain the domain www.potashamerica.com.  Our company also acquired eight domain names in conjunction with the proposed formation of a new division focusing on the use of its calcium-montmorillonite as an animal supplement. The domain names are as follows: traceelementsclay.com, traceelementsclay.net, tec-bovine.com, tec-bovine.net, tec-canine.com, tec-canine.net, tec-equine.com, tec-equine.net, tec-feline.com, tec-feline.net, tec-poultry.com, tec-poultry.net, tec-health.net, tec-soil.com, and tec-soil.net.  As of the year ended March 31, 2013, these domain names have been dropped.


Research and Development


We have not spent any amounts which have been classified as research and development activities in our financial statements since our inception.


Government Regulation


Any mineral properties that we may have will be subject to various Federal and Provincial laws and regulations in Canada which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We will be required to obtain those licenses, permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct exploration and other programs. There are no current orders or directions relating to us or the Newfoundland Property with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations. Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of our proposed operations, costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water treatment and protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact on wildlife and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable regulations. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with exploration, development, or mining operations on any of our mineral properties. We are not presently aware of



7



any specific material environmental constraints affecting our property that would preclude the economic development or operation of property in Canada.


Environmental Regulations


We are not aware of any material violations of environmental permits, licenses or approvals that have been issued with respect to our operations. We expect to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to our business, and at this time, we do not anticipate incurring any material capital expenditures to comply with any environmental regulations or other requirements.


While our intended projects and business activities do not currently violate any laws, any regulatory changes that impose additional restrictions or requirements on us or on our potential customers could adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs or decreasing demand for our products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.


Employees


We have commenced only limited operations; therefore, we have no full-time employees. Our sole officer and director provides services to us on an as-needed basis. When we commence full operations, we will need to establish full-time management and administrative support staff. Our company intends to ‘contract-out’ many of these functions.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings


We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company.

Operating expenses for year ended March 31, 2012 increased by 8.1% as compared to the comparative period in 2012 primarily as a result of increased professional fees, exploration costs and impairment of mining interest, which were offset by decreased consulting fees and stock compensation in fiscal 2013.  


Revenue


We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the upcoming quarter.


Equity Compensation


On April 21, 2011, our directors approved the adoption of the 2011 Stock Option Plan which permits our company to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of our company upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 2011 Stock Option Plan.


On April 21, 2011, Mr. Brass and Mr. Marcus were granted 300,000 stock options each exercisable at a price of $0.60 per share for a period of five years from the date of grant. The options were fully vested upon the resignations as a director on April 22, 2013.

Specifically, we estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months to be as follows:

Future Financings


We will require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, as discussed above, including approximately $60,000 over the next 12 months to pay for our ongoing expenses. These expenses include legal, accounting and audit fees as well as general and administrative expenses.  These cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to continue operations and to repay our liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our liabilities.


We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.


We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.


Contractual Obligations


As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.


Going Concern


We have generated only nominal revenues and are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to carry out our operations and pursue our business development activities. If we are unable to generate future cash flows, raise equity or secure alternative financing, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business plan may fail. You may lose your entire investment.


If our operations and cash flow improve, our management believes that we can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or an improvement in our liquidity situation. The threat of our ability to continue as a going concern will cease to exist only when our revenues have reached a level able to sustain our business operations.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We have 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 or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.




12



Critical Accounting Policies


The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.  We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.


Basic Income (Loss) Per Share


Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing our company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing our company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2013.


During the year ended March 31, 2011, our company enacted an 80 to 1 forward stock split. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect such stock split.


Stock-Based Compensation


Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  On April 21, 2011, our company instituted a Stock Option Plan which allows for the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to our company’s management, employees and consultants. As of March 31, 2013, there were 1,375,000 stock options issued.


Income Taxes


Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Our company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors of

Potash America, Inc.

Reno, Nevada


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Potash America, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from July 31, 2007 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s 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 Potash America, Inc. as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from July 31, 2007 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 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 discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital, has not yet received revenue from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses from operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 14. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

POTASH AMERICA, INC.

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2013


NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS


Potash America, Inc. (“the Company” or “PTAM”), was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007. PTAM’s primary focus is the development of fertilizer and agri-business assets. Such assets may include Potash, Montmorillonite, Bentonite and Gypsum. The Company seeks to acquire known deposits whose economic value has recently changed with market pricing levels, and develop these assets into agri-products.


NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Exploration Stage Company

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and reporting by exploration stage companies.  An exploration stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.


Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.  


Accounting Basis

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting).  The Company has adopted a March 31 fiscal year end.


Reclassifications

Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.


Financial Instrument

The Company's financial instrument consists of cash, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred compensation, accrued interest, convertible line of credit, note payable, and a line of credit due to a related party.

 

It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its other financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values except where separately disclosed.


Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

PTAM considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company had $265 and $69,323 of cash.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2013


NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company expensed $10,937 and $25,806 in marketing and website development and maintenance of its site.


Mineral Properties Costs

Mineral exploration and development costs are accounted for using the successful efforts method of accounting.


Property acquisition costs - Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized as mineral exploration properties.  Upon achievement of all conditions necessary for reserves to be classified as proved, the associated acquisition costs are reclassified to prove properties


Exploration costs - Geological and geophysical costs and the costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties are expensed as incurred.  


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.


Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.


Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  On April 21, 2011, the Company instituted a Stock Option Plan which allows for the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s management, employees and consultants. As of March 31, 2013, there were 1,375,000 stock options issued.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

PTAM does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE LINE OF CREDIT

 

On April 12, 2012, the Company entered into a $1,000,000 Letter of Credit Agreement dated March 27, 2012. Pursuant to the terms outlined in the Letter of Credit, at any time the Company may require any and all funds outstanding under the Letter of Credit, except for accrued interest which is to be paid in cash, to be converted into units of the Company at a price of $0.80 per unit (the “Unit”). Each Unit consists of one (1) share of common stock and one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock at $1.50 for a period of five (5) years. The Company will pay annual interest of 5% until the loan is repaid or converted into Units. The Company will issue up to 1,250,000 Units when the exercise provision is enacted. The Company determined the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature on each draw date by valuing the warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and then allocating the $0.80 conversion price of each unit between the stock and warrants.  The warrants were valued using the following assumptions on each draw date: stock price at grant date - $0.23-$0.89, exercise price - $1.50, expected life – 5 years, volatility – 126%-130%, risk-free rate - .70%-.86%.  The total intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the draws was determined to be $302,904 and was amortized in full as of March 31, 2013. The line of credit was drawn to $710,000 as of March 31, 2013. Accrued interest related to the line of credit was $29,179 as of March 31, 2013.


NOTE 8 – NOTE PAYABLE


A former shareholder and director of the Company advanced funds at various times since inception in order to support operations. The loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. The amount due to the former shareholder and director was $35,500 as of March 31, 2013.


NOTE 9 – LINE OF CREDIT – RELATED PARTY


The Company opened a line of credit during the year ended March 31, 2011 in the amount of $200,000. The line of credit is secured by the assets of the company, bears 5% interest and is due on demand.


On June 22, 2011, the Company’s credit line was increased from $200,000 to $1,000,000 under the same terms. The line of credit was drawn to $664,000 as of March 31, 2013.  Interest expense related to the line of credit was $51,922 as of March 31, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2013, control of the Company was acquired by the person who also controls the company that has issued this line of credit.

For the year ended March 31, 2013, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability.  The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved.  The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $3,408,749 at March 31, 2013 and will expire beginning in the year 2028.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of $3,408,749 for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.


NOTE 14 – GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. The Company has negative working capital, no established source of revenue and significant losses since inception.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan.

Item 9.

Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure


There were no disagreements with our accountants related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and subsequent interim periods.


Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013.


Our management, with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our president has concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The reasons for this finding were the weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting enumerated below.  


Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the 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 for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:


·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;


·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and


·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.


As of March 31, 2013, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal



15





control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, he concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.


The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our principal executive officer and principal financial officer considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of March 31, 2013.


Our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of our company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only the management's report in this annual report.


Management's Remediation Initiatives


In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:


We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.


Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.


We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by December 31, 2014. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by December 31, 2014.


Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting


There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

In the course of their other business activities, they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities, engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct.


In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:


·

the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;



17





·

the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and

·

it would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation.


Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings


To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:


1.

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);


2.

had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;  


3.

been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;


4.

been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;


5.

been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or


6.

been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.


Code of Ethics


Our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members of our board of directors, our company's officers including our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, employees, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:


1.

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;


2.

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;


3.

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;




18





4.

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and


5.

accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.


Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's Senior Officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.


Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 17, 2011. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Potash America Inc., 2234 North Federal Highway, Suite 396, Boca Raton, FL 33431.


Committees of the Board


All proceedings of our board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the corporate laws of the state of Nevada and the bylaws of our company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.


Audit Committee and Charter


Currently our audit committee consists of Matthew Markin, who is not an independent director.  We will appoint a two more members to the audit committee when suitable independent directors are appointed to our board of directors.


We have not implemented an audit committee charter. When we do adopt an audit committee charter, we will announce it via the filing of a Current Report on form 8-K.


Nominating Committee and Charter


We currently do not have nominating committee or other committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.


Advisory Board


We have established an advisory board to assist in the exploration, development and commercialization of fertilizer-oriented projects.  Our advisory board members are Jeff Adams and James Leonard.


Jeff Adams:  On March 21, 2011, we appointed Jeff Adams as a member of our advisory board. Mr. Adams brings over 30 years experience in the marketing and valuation of mining properties. Canadian-based, Mr. Adams has participated in the company’s prospective acquisition of the Newfoundland Property.


James Leonard:  On March 20, 2012, we appointed James Leonard / Friedman Manger & Co. as a member of our advisory board.  James Leonard is currently a consultant to publicly traded companies in the area of legal, accounting and crisis management. Mr. Leonard owned and operated a licensed broker dealership for twenty years and then a venture capital firm for ten years where he had extensive experience in contract negotiations specializing in Chinese and Japanese companies. He served on the Board of Directors of many firms and also held the position of CEO in a public company which he took from Venture Capital to a company with a market valuation in excess of half a billion dollars. As a venture capitalist James Leonard personally financed and oversaw the management of a wide range of enterprises including manufacturing in Asia, injection molding throughout Europe, silver mining in Arizona and gold mining in California.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert


Our board of directors has determined that none of the members of our audit committee qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


We believe that the members of our audit committee are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.


Item 11.

Executive Compensation


The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons:


·

our principal executive officer;


·

our principal financial officer;


·

each of our three most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012; and


·

up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012,

Compensation of Directors


Other than as set out below, we do not have any agreements for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our board of directors.


We entered into director association agreements with Mr. Brass and Mr. Marcus on April 21, 2011, pursuant to which Mr. Brass and Mr. Marcus were paid $500 each per board of directors meeting attended they were reimbursed for all reasonable expenses related to their physical attendance at the annual general meeting; in addition to their respective director’s fees.

Family Relationships

Item 12.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters


The following table sets forth, as of June 28, 2013, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

(1)

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on June 28, 2013.  As of June 28, 2013, there were 148,625,000 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.


Changes in Control


We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company.  There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.


Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence


Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended March 31, 2013, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of US$120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.


Director Independence


We have one director, being Matthew Markin, who is not an independent director, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.




23





Currently our audit committee consists of Matthew Markin. We currently do not have a compensation committee or nominating committee or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.


Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a member of the audit committee that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.


From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.


Item 14.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services


The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.


Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
