The above Five Year Comparative Summary of Selected Financial Data reflects the acquisition of Soil Biogenics Ltd (Bermuda) by Soil Biogenics Limited (BVI) which was accounted for as a recapitalization of Soil Biogenics Ltd (Bermuda) because the shareholders of Soil Biogenics Ltd (Bermuda) controlled Soil Biogenics Limited (BVI) after the acquisition. Soil Biogenics Ltd (Bermuda) was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes and Soil Biogenics Limited (BVI) was the surviving entity for legal purposes. B. CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS Not applicable C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS Not applicable Page 6 of 31 D. RISK FACTORS The Market for our products The soil regeneration, soil reclamation and grass and crop nutrients industry is a global market, in which supply and demand are dictated by worldwide factors. Demand is driven largely by economic and political conditions, demographics as well as limits on arable land. Population growth increases demand for agricultural products, as do increases in disposable income and associated improvements in diet. Improved diets include greater consumption of livestock and poultry, which together lead to an increase in the annual consumption of grain. An increasing demand for grain, combined with limits on arable land, drives demand for higher crop yields through greater application of crop nutrients/fertilizers, soil regeneration and reclamation. Supply of products of crop nutrients and fertilizers for soil regeneration and reclamation is generally driven by higher global commodity prices, weather conditions and local government policies. Given the commodity nature of the soil regeneration, soil reclamation and grass and crop nutrients business, industry players compete largely on the basis of low cost and, to a lesser extent, differentiated customer service. Low cost is principally a function of the ability to strategically source raw material inputs and the breadth and cost of the transportation infrastructure. Factors affecting demand for our products The Company currently sells its products in the Moscow region. Future sales of the Company's products throughout Russia, Spain, the Southern Mediterranean and Europe will be affected by unfavorable changes in trade protection laws, policies and measures, and other regulatory requirements affecting trade; unexpected changes in tax and trade treaties and strengthening or weakening of foreign economies may cause sales trends to customers in one or more foreign countries to differ from sales trends in Russia. Revenues are highly dependent upon conditions in the Russian agriculture, landscaping and gardening industries and can be affected by crop failure, changes in agricultural production, landscaping and gardening practices, government policies and weather. Furthermore, the Company's business is seasonal to the extent Russian farmers, agricultural enterprises and landscaping companies purchase more of the Company's products during the spring and fall. The Company maintains its accounts in US dollars since the transactions of the Company are primarily based in US dollars and the transactions that occur in Roubles and Euros do not currently constitute a significant portion of the activities or operations of the Company on a cash driven basis. The Company's operations in Russia and Spain are subject to risks from changes in foreign currencies. The costs of the Russian operations are principally denominated in Roubles while the Spanish operations are denominated in the Euro. As a result, significant changes in the exchange rate of these two currencies can have a significant effect on the company's business and results of operations.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY Cayman Purchasing & Supply, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on March 31, 1993. The Company was inactive until it redirected its business efforts in mid 1997 following a change of management, which occurred on June 25, 1997, to the acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, the development of mineral resource properties. The Company Page 7 of 31 changed its name to Patagonia Gold Corporation on October 13, 1997 to more fully reflect its business activities. On August 23, 2002 Patagonia Gold Corporation incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Patagonia Gold (BVI) Limited as an International Business Company incorporated under the International Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands. The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Patagonia Gold (BVI) Limited were filed with the Registrar of International Companies in the British Virgin Islands on the 23rd day of August 2002. On September 19, 2002 Patagonia Gold Corporation entered into a Plan of Merger and Articles of Merger with Patagonia Gold (BVI) Limited whereby all the assets and liabilities of Patagonia Gold Corporation would vest by virtue of such merger into Patagonia Gold (BVI) Limited. The shareholders of Patagonia Gold Corporation received one common share of Patagonia Gold (BVI) Limited for each common share of Patagonia Gold Corporation they owned. The Merger was effective November 29, 2002. The shares of Patagonia Gold Corporation ceased trading on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board on November 29, 2002 and in there place the common shares of Patagonia Gold (BVI) Limited commenced trading. The old trading symbol for Patagonia Gold Corporation was "GONI". The new trading symbol for Patagonia Gold (BVI) Limited is "PGBVF". On November 2, 2002, Soil Biogenics Ltd. (SB Bermuda), a company incorporated in Bermuda on October 19, 2000, entered into a Plan and agreement of reorganization with PIKSA Inter LLC (PIKSA) a company incorporated in Moscow in the Russian Federation. Under the terms of the Plan, SB Bermuda acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of PIKSA in exchange for 16,940,000 shares of SB Bermuda common stock. In connection with the Plan, the Board of Directors of SB Bermuda approved and increased the authorized shares of SB Bermuda to 3,4000,000, followed by a stock split of 5 common stock for one common stock totalling 17,000,000 common stock issued and outstanding after the completion of the Plan. PIKSA was accounted for as the acquirer and as the surviving accounting entity because the former stockholders of PIKSA received approximately 100% of the voting rights in the combined corporation. The shares issued by the SB Bermuda have been accounted for as if those shares comprised the historical share capital of PIKSA. The outstanding capital stock of the SB Bermuda, at the date of the 2002 acquisition, has been accounted for as shares issued by PIKSA to acquire the net assets of SB Bermuda. The transaction was treated, for accounting purposes, as an acquisition (purchase) of control of the assets and business of SB Bermuda by PIKSA. At the date of transaction, SB Bermuda has nil assets and liabilities. On February 11, 2003 Patagonia Gold (BVI) Limited changed its name to Soil Biogenics Limited (SB (BVI)) and its trading symbol from "PGBVF" to "SOBGF". On February 13, 2003, SB (BVI) completed an Agreement for the Exchange of Common Stock ("Agreement") with SB Bermuda, whereby SB (BVI) issued 17,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of SB Bermuda. Immediately prior to the Agreement, SB (BVI) had 12,912,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization of SB Bermuda because the shareholders of SB Bermuda controlled SB (BVI) after the acquisition. SB Bermuda was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes and SB (BVI) was the surviving entity for legal purposes. There was no adjustment to the carrying value of the assets or liabilities of SB Bermuda. On March 7, 2003 Soil Biogenics Ltd. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Soil Biogenics S.L., (SB Spain) formerly known as AAM Emprendimentos, S.L. AAM Emprendimentos, S.L was incorporated as a Limited liability Mercantile Company in Madrid, Spain on August 5, 2002. The company was inactive prior to its acquisition by Soil Biogenics Ltd. Page 8 of 31 Soil Biogenics Limited is engaged in the design, development and manufacture of bio-organic and biological fertilizers used in soil regeneration, reclamation and improvement of intracellular processes in grass and agricultural plants through its subsidiary Soil Biogenics Ltd. B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW Piksa Inter LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Soil Biogenics Ltd (Bermuda), is a production and scientific research company engaged in the design, development and manufacture of bio-organic and biological fertilizer products used for soil regeneration, reclamation and improvement of intracellular processes in grass and agricultural plants. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Soil Biogenics Ltd (Bermuda) and was incorporated on March 10, 2000 to patent and commercially market a bio-organic fertilizer called "Super compost Piksa". The Super compost Piksa fertilizer was developed over a ten year period by a group of Russian scientists specializing in biotechnology. The bio-organic fertilizer production facilities are located 25 km from Moscow in the district of Liubertzi. The Company employs thirty-four people, mostly engineers and scientists, and subcontracts services for the maintenance of the production facilities. The company also uses the services of specialists from leading Russian agricultural research institutions. The Company sells two types of products: fertile soils and PIKSA Super Compost. The fertile soils are mainly used by construction companies to rehabilitate exhausted areas in the Capital city, like residential complexes and parks. The PIKSA Super Compost is sold to the Federal railways Agency (to reinforce the slopes), to construction companies and through a retail network of two hundred outlets to the public for their gardens. The Super Compost is also used to recover contaminated soils. Retail sales are currently concentrated in and around the city of Moscow, while wholesale sales are sold throughout the Russian Federation. The Company's products are currently used in hothouses, private gardens and landscaping. Customers vary from small farms and retail garden centers to construction companies, large gardening companies contracted by the Moscow City Government and Russian State Agencies where the bio-organic fertilizers are used for soil remuneration and decontamination. The raw materials, peat, sand and dung, for the fertile soils and PIKSA Super Compost is readily available from local suppliers. Production of the fertile soils and PIKSA Super Compost occurs throughout the year however sales are affected by the seasons and usually occur between April and November. The Company has two production plants. During 2007 a new production facility capable of producing and additional 800 m3 per day of fertile soils will be put into operation. The new plant is located near the town of Domodedovo on the South of Moscow region. The Company's other two production sites are located in the Noguinski district on the East side of the Moscow region and have a production capacity for 800 and 400 m3 daily respectively. In 2003 the Company started the process of certification of the Super compost Piksa bio-organic fertilizer in Spain. Soil Biogenics S.L., a 100% subsidiary of Soil Biogenics Ltd. (Bermuda) is in the process of obtaining certification and patenting of the Super compost Piksa bio-organic fertilizer. Upon obtaining certification and registration of patents for the Company's products, Soil Biogenics S.L. will produce and market its product in the Mediterranean region. The Company expects the largest market for its product to be in the agriculture industry. The Company intends to also market its product to golf courses in Spain's southern region and golf courses in and around Madrid. Heavy competition in the production of fertilizers for golf courses will mean industry players will compete on the basis of low cost and to a lesser extent differentiated customer service. Pricing policy is expected to play a decisive role in sales. The Spanish company currently employs four people and has an agreement with the Environmental Sciences Centre (Centro de Ciencias Medioambientales) of the Superior Council for Scientific Research (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas) "the CCMA-CSIC" to assist in the development of new types of bio-organic fertilizers. Raw materials in the form of high quality Page 9 of 31 composts are easily available from numerous suppliers. Production and marketing of the bio-organic fertilizer is expected to commence in late 2008. The bio-organic fertilizer product will be offered in concentrated liquid form in 5 to 10 liter volumes and should be diluted prior to application. C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE\

Soil Biogenics Ltd (Bermuda) was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes and Soil Biogenics Limited (BVI) was the surviving entity for legal purposes. B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company recorded a net loss of $132,300 ($0.00 per share), compared to net loss of $11,846 ($0.00 per share) for 2005 and net income of $208,704 ($0.01 per share) in 2004.

Total liabilities as of December 31, 2006 were $3,305,696 (2005 - $1,067,890; 2004- $913,395) an increase of $2,237,806 from December 31, 2005.

The general business strategy of the Company is to research, design, develop and manufacture products for soil regeneration, soil reclamation and grass and crop nutrients either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company may need to obtain additional funds (presumably through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing) in order, if warranted, for plant and equipment acquisition and expansion, for new bio-organic fertilizer products research, development, testing, certification, manufacture and marketing. Failure to obtain such additional financing may result in a reduction of the Company's future revenues and profitability. The Company has no agreements with any person as to such additional financing. While the Company may attempt to generate additional working capital through research and development, manufacture, sale or possible joint venture development of bio-organic fertilizers and other products for soil regeneration, soil reclamation and grass and crop nutrients, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. PLANS FOR THE YEAR 2007 The Company's plans for year 2007 center on the Piksa subsidiary increasing the sales of its Super compost Piksa bio-organic fertilizer to the various Russian State Agencies, the contractors/gardening companies working for the Moscow City Government and for the Spanish subsidiary to produce and supply Piksa, the Russian subsidiary, with the bacteria used in the production of the bio-organic fertilizer and to complete the patenting and certification of its bio-organic fertilizer in Spain. APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies and methods we utilize in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements determine how we report our financial condition and results of operations and may require our management to make estimates or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Our accounting policies are described in note 2 to our December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements. Our accounting policies relating to revenue recognition, income taxes, inventory and depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment are critical accounting policies that are subject to estimates and assumptions regarding future activities. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed using the straight-line method. Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the following useful lives: office and production equipment 5 to 20 years. US GAAP requires us to consider at the end of each accounting period whether or not there has been an impairment of the capitalized property, plant and equipment. This assessment is based on whether factors that may indicate the need for a write-down are present. If we determine there has been an impairment, then we would be required to write-down the recorded value of its property, plant and equipment costs which would reduce our earnings and net assets. C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENCES, ETC The Company holds two patents with respect to the Super-compost Piksa. The first patent is for the mixture of four types of bacteria. The second patent is for the process of producing the bio-organic Page 12 of 31 fertilizer. The Company's technology transforms wastes produced through agriculture and food-processing into an ecologically pure bio-compost fertilizer. All raw materials used in the process are available in large quantities. One of the Company's primary sources of raw materials is chicken manure which is available in large quantities from a nearby plant. The manufacturing process produces no wastes and there are no harmful byproducts emitted into the air. The bacteria mixture when combined with sterile compost produces a Super-compost bio-organic fertilizer which is then mixed with soil to increase soil fertility and productivity. The organic makeup of the Super-compost Piksa regenerates the soil while the micro-organisms from the bacteria mixture restore nitrogen and transform both phosphorus and potassium into more plant accessible forms. The bio-organic fertilizer is also used in the reclamation of soil from contaminations such as oil derivates and heavy metals. D. TREND INFORMATION There are no known trends that might eventually affect us. E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are likely to have or are reasonably likely to have a material 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 have not been disclosed in our financial statements. In April 2006 Piksa entered into leases for equipment to be used in its fertilizer production operations. The total amount of the lease payments required under the leases are RUR 12,542,806 ($476,501 at December 31, 2006) excluding the value added tax at 18%. These leases have been accounted for as capital leases at imputed interest rates ranging from 20% to 23% for financial statement purposes. Future minimum lease payments under the capital leases are as follows for years ending December 31:
Total Amount Net Amount Representing Due Interest ------------------------------------ 2007 $128,265 $ 44,001 $ 84,264 2008 128,265 22,742 105,523 2009 42,978 1,965 41,013 ------------------------------------------- Total $299,508 $ 68,708 $ 230,800 -------------------------------------------

During the year ended December 31, 2006, all of the Company's directors, executive officers and Company's common stock were in compliance with section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934. B. COMPENSATION The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of the named executive officers as required to be disclosed in accordance with applicable securities regulations during the Corporation's three financial years ended December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

None of our officers or directors was party to an employment agreement with us. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 the entire board of directors acted as our compensation committee and audit committee. Mr. Gomez de Segura, the president and chief executive officer of Soil Biogenics Limited (the parent company) is engaged in other business activities and devotes only a limited amount of his time (approximately 35%) to our business. As we expand our activities, a need for full time management may arise. In such an event, should Mr. Gomez de Segura be unwilling to dedicate Page 15 of 31 more of his time to our business or fail to hire additional personnel, our business and results of operations would suffer a material adverse effect. OPTIONS/SAR GRANTS TABLE The following information sets forth information concerning individual grants of stock options (whether or not in tandem with stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and freestanding SARs made during the last completed fiscal year to each of the named executive officers. We awarded no stock purchase options, or any other rights, to any of our directors or officers in Fiscal 2006, 2005 or 2004. AGGREGATED OPTION/SAR EXERCISES AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION/SAR VALUE TABLE We have no options issued or outstanding. We do not have a Long-term Incentive Plan. None of our officers or directors was party to an employment agreement with us. At no time during the last completed fiscal year did we, while a reporting company pursuant to Section 13(a) of 15(d) of the Exchange Act, adjust or amend the exercise price of the stock options or SARs previously awarded to any of the named executive officers, whether through amendment, cancellation or replacement grants, or any other means. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS The Company does not pay a fee to its outside, non-officer directors. The Company reimburses its directors for reasonable expenses incurred by them in attending meetings of the Board of Directors. The Corporation paid aggregate remuneration of $0 to the two incumbent directors in their capacities as such during the fiscal period ended December 31, 2006 (2005 - $Nil and 2004 - $Nil). EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT AND TERMINATION AGREEMENTS None of the Company's officers or directors was party to an employment agreement with the company. Directors and/or officers receive reimbursement of expenses reasonably incurred on behalf of the Company. C. BOARD PRACTICES MANDATE AND DUTIES OF THE BOARD The Board of Directors has no committees. The entire Board of Directors functions as: the Executive Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Benefits Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has ultimate responsibility for supervising the conduct of the Company's affairs and the management of its business. The principal objective of the Board is to protect and enhance Shareholder value over the long term. Although the Board has delegated to management responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company, the Board has ultimate responsibility for the stewardship of the Company. Board members generally serve until the next annual meeting and do not have service contracts. The Board's duties include overseeing strategic planning, reviewing and assessing principal risks to the Company's business and approving risk management strategies, supervising and evaluating management, authorizing significant expenditures, ensuring timely and effective communication with Shareholders, and overseeing the Company's internal controls and information systems. The Board's duties also include planning and monitoring activities of senior management. In considering and making appointments of senior management, the Board considers it appropriate, Page 16 of 31 where relevant, to address succession and planning issues. In appointing senior management, the Board considers as a necessary requirement of such appointments that such personnel are qualified to carry out the duties and responsibilities relating to the appointed positions and thus, apart from monitoring, assessing and providing feedback to senior management, the Board does not consider it necessary to engage in specifically training senior management. The Board met by telephone four (4) times during 2006. MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES The Company's Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee or committee performing similar functions. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 the entire Board of Directors acted as the Company's Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews employee compensation and benefits, and the Audit Committee reviews the scope of the independent audit, the appropriateness of the accounting policies, the adequacy of internal controls, the Company's year-end financial statements and other such matters relating to the Company's financial affairs as its members deem appropriate. During 2006 the Compensation Committee held two (2) meetings by telephone conference call and the Audit Committee held two (2) meetings by conference calls. The Audit Committee has discussed matters in the audited consolidated financial statements with the independent auditors as required by SAS 61. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditor's independence. Based on the review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the latest fiscal year for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Agustin Gomez de Segura and Alexander Becker. INDEPENDENCE FROM MANAGEMENT It is the Board's view that the Board operates and functions independently of management as required. Although the President of the Company also serves as a Director, the Board is of the view that this does not impair the Board's ability to act independently of management. SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATION The Company communicates regularly with its Shareholders through annual, as well as news releases and regulatory filings. In addition, the executive officers of the Company are responsible for addressing day-to-day Shareholder enquiries and other Shareholder communication issues. EXPECTATIONS OF MANAGEMENT The Board has delegated to the President, and other executives, responsibility for day-to-day management of the business and affairs of the Company, subject to compliance with directives and objectives established by the Board from time to time. The Board relies on management to provide the Board on a timely basis with information required by the Board to perform its duties. OUTSIDE ADVISORS The Company does not have in place any specific procedures pursuant to which an individual director may engage the services of an outside advisor at the expense of the Company. Any requests for the services of an outside advisor at the expense of the Company would be considered by the Board on a case-by-case basis. Page 17 of 31 D. EMPLOYEES Soil Biogenics Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries employed 38 persons as of June 30, 2007 (December 31, 2006 - 31 persons) of which 0 were covered by collective bargaining agreements. The relationship of Soil Biogenics Limited and its subsidiaries with their employees and contractors is considered by Soil Biogenics Limited to be satisfactory. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were no strikes or walkouts. E. SHARE OWNERSHIP The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock by the Company's directors and officers in common as at June 30, 2007.

B. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The proposed business of the Company raises potential conflicts of interests between the Company and certain of its officers and directors. Messrs. Gomez de Segura and Becker, who serve as our Directors, may also be Directors of other companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors of the Company, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or Management, may have a conflict. From time to time, several companies may participate in the joint ventures thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign Page 19 of 31 all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment. In determining whether the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. The Company is not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein. C. INTEREST OF EXPERTS AND COUNSEL None ITEM 8.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the International Business Companies Act (the "Act") of the British Virgin Islands (the "BVI") and the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association. Information on where investors can obtain copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association is described under the heading 'Documents on Display' under this Item. OBJECTS AND PURPOSES The Company is an International Business Company ("IBC") incorporated under the provisions of the International Business Companies Act (the "Act") of the British Virgin Islands (the "BVI"). In accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, share certificates may be issued as either registered shares or shares issued to bearer as the directors may by resolution determine. In the case of a representative acting in a special capacity (for example, as an executor or trustee), share certificates should record the capacity in which the representative is acting. Notwithstanding the recording of any such special capacity, the Company is not bound to investigate or incur any responsibility in respect of the proper administration of any such estate or trust. The Company takes no notice of any trust applicable to any of its shares whether or not it had notice of such trust. As an IBC, the Company has no power: (i) carry on business with persons resident in the BVI; (ii) own an interest in real property situated in the BVI, other than a lease of property for the use as an office from which to communicate with the shareholders or where books and records of the Company are prepared and maintained; (iii) carry on banking or trust business, unless it is licensed under the BVI Banks and Trusts Companies Act of 1990; (iv) carry on business as an insurance or a reinsurance company, insurance agency or insurance broker, unless it is licensed under an enactment authorizing it to transact that business; (v) carry on the business of company management unless it is licensed under the BVI Company Management Act, of 1990; or (vi) carry on the business of providing a registered office or the registered agent for companies incorporated in the BVI.

Likewise, issues and transfers of the shares involving any person regarded as resident in the BVI are not subject to exchange control approval. There are no limitations on the rights of non-BVI owners of the Common Stock to hold or vote their shares. Because the Company is an IBC, there are no restrictions on its ability to transfer funds into and out of the BVI or to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of the Common Stock. E. TAXATION The following discussion summarizes tax consequences to a holder of Common Stock of the Company under present British Virgin Islands tax laws. The discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to the Company's operations or the ownership of the Common Stock and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to particular investors, some of which (include banks, securities dealers, insurance companies and tax-exempt entities) may be subject to special rules. In particular, the discussion does not address the tax consequences under state, local and other national (non-BVI) tax laws. The following discussion is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this filing, all of which are subject to change. British Virgin Islands Taxation Under the International Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands (the "International Business Companies Act") as currently in effect, a holder of Common Stock paid with respect to the Common Stock of the Company. A holder of Common Stock of the Company is not liable for BVI income tax on gains realized on the sale or disposal of such shares. The BVI does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by the Company to its shareholders due to its incorporation under the International Business Companies Act. There are no capital gains or income taxes levied by the BVI on companies incorporated under the International Business Companies Act. In addition, the Common Stock of the Company is not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges. There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the BVI. As an exempted company, the Company is required to pay the BVI government an annual license fee based on the Company's stated authorized capital. This discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of Common Shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the United Sates federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances. F. DIVIDENDS AND PAYING AGENTS The Company is limited in its ability to pay dividends on its Common Shares by limitations under British Virgin Island law relating to the sufficiency of profits from which dividends may be paid. Page 24 of 31 Under the International Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands the declaration of a dividend is authorized by resolution of the board of directors. The Company has not declared cash or share dividends on its common shares since the Company was incorporated in 1993 and has no present plans to pay any cash or share dividends. The Company will declare cash or share dividends in the future only if earnings and capital of the Company are sufficient to justify the payment of such dividend. G.

I. SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION Not applicable ITEM 11 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company has not entered into any derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, deposits, advances and other, accrued interest and accounts payable and accrued expenses on the balance sheet approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. Fair value estimates are made at the balance sheet date based on relevant market information but involve uncertainties and therefore cannot be determined with precision. In order to limit its market risk, the Company diversifies its cash and investment holdings into U.S. treasury and agency obligations and major financial institutions and corporations. The fair values of investments in marketable securities are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. See the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 17 Financial Statements and Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and Prospects for additional information.

AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES Not applicable PART II ITEM 13 DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES Not Applicable ITEM1 4 MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS Not Applicable ITEM 15 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F, the Company's principle executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange of 1934 (the "Exchange") are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms except as noted below. In connection with the 2006 audit, our independent registered public accounting firm has advised us and our Board of Directors that there were material weaknesses in our internal controls and procedures. The identified material weaknesses primarily relate to the number of Company employees engaged in the authorization, recording, processing and reporting of transactions, as well as the overall financial reporting process. (b) MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Not currently applicable. Page 26 of 31 (c) ATTESTATION REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report. (d) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. As a result of the weakness identified we have taken certain steps to correct material weaknesses by enhancing our reporting process in the future. Enhancing our internal controls to correct the material weaknesses will result in increased costs to us. Except as forth set above, there were no other significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of 17 CFR 240.13a-15 or 240.15d-15 that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has effected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer's control over financial reporting. ITEM 16 (RESERVED) ITEM 16A AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT Messrs. Agustin Gomez de Segura and Alexander Becker comprise the Audit Committee. Mr. Alexander Becker is Chairman of the Audit Committee. Mr. Becker satisfies the current requirements of the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, relating to the independence and the qualification of the members of the Audit Committee. Mr. Agustin Gomez de Segura is an officer and director of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that Mr. Alexander Becker qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert". ITEM 16B CODE OF ETHICS As part of its stewardship responsibilities, the Board of Directors has approved formal "Standards of Ethical Conduct" that govern the behavior of the directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Board monitors compliance with these standards and is responsible for the granting of any waivers from these standards to directors or officers. Disclosure will be made by the Company of any waiver from these standards granted to the directors or officers of the Company in the quarterly report of the Company that immediately follows the grant of such waiver. No waiver has been granted to date. The "Corporate Governance Principles" was filed on Form 20-F on July 7, 2004 and is incorporated herein by reference (SEC file number 000-26531-04903315). ITEM 16C PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES Effective May 5, 2006, we dismissed our prior independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP and retained as our new independent registered public accounting firm Peterson Sullivan PLLC. Prior to May 5, 2006, Ernst & Young LLP had been our certifying independent Page 27 of 31 registered public accounting firm since the transaction of Moore Stephens International member firm Ellis Foster Ltd. with Ernst & Young LLP in May 2005. Moore Stephens International member firm Ellis Foster Ltd. has been our certifying independent public accountant since March 2000. Ernst & Young LLP reported on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and their report contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the fiscal year 2004 and the subsequent period preceding the change, there were no disagreements between the Company and Ernst & Young LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of disagreements in connection with its report. There were no "reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B for the fiscal year 2004 and any subsequent period. Effective May 5, 2006, the Company engaged Peterson Sullivan PLLC as our new independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements. The appointment of Peterson Sullivan PLLC was recommended and approved by our board of directors. During our last two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period to date hereof, we have not consulted Peterson Sullivan PLLC regarding either: (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either complete or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject matter of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B. (A) AUDIT FEES The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Peterson Sullivan PLLC, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, for the audit of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and services normally provided by such accountants in connection with the Company's statutory and regulatory filings for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, were $35,000 (2005 - $38,019). (B) AUDIT-RELATED FEES The aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services by Peterson Sullivan PLLC, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements were $0 for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (2005 - $Nil). (C) TAX FEES The aggregate fees billed for products and services by Peterson Sullivan PLLC, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the Company's fiscal ended December 31, 2006 were $0 (2005 - $Nil). (D) ALL OTHER FEES There were no additional fees billed for professional services by Peterson Sullivan PLLC, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, other than the fees reported in this Item 16C above for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (2005 - $Nil). Page 28 of 31 (E) AUDIT COMMITTEE'S PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES The Audit Committee approves the engagement terms for all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Company's accountants before such services are provided to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Audit Committee approved one hundred percent (100%) of the services provided to the Company and its subsidiaries described in Items 16C (b) through (d) above. (F) AUDITORS USE OF NON-PERMANENT EMPLOYEes None of the hours expended by Peterson Sullivan PLLC, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, on its engagement to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, were performed by persons other than fulltime permanent employees of Peterson Sullivan PLLC. ITEM 16D EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES None. ITEM 16E PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS None. PART III ITEM 17 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has elected to comply with the financial statement requirement of this Item rather than Item 18. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Soil Biogenics Limited and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /S/ PETERSON SULLIVAN PLLC July 15, 2007 Seattle, Washington F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED (FORMERLY PANTAGONIA GOLD (BVI) LIMITED) We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED ("the Company") as of December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, operations and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit. The financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 30, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. 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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2004 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2004 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

On February 13, 2003, SB (BVI) completed an Agreement For The Exchange of Common Stock ("Agreement") with SB Bermuda, whereby SB (BVI) issued 17,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of SB Bermuda. Immediately prior to the Agreement, SB (BVI) had 12,912,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization of SB Bermuda because the shareholders of SB Bermuda controlled SB (BVI) after the acquisition. SB Bermuda was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes and SB (BVI) was the surviving entity for legal purposes. On March 7, 2003, the Company acquired and reactivated SB Spain (formerly Aam Empreendimentos, S.L.), a company incorporated in Spain. Prior to the acquisition, SB Spain had no assets and liabilities. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Principles of Accounting The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries; Soil Biogenics Ltd. (SB Bermuda), Soil Biogenics S.L. (SB Spain), PIKSA Inter LLC (PIKSA), NPO PIKSA LLC (NPO), Biogrunt, Biopotok-Piksa, Biogruntstroy and Piksa Domodedovo. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. F-7 SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.) (b) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. (c) Cash equivalents Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. (d) Accounts receivable Accounts receivable result primarily from the sale of fertilizer and related products and are stated at their principal balances net of any allowance for credit losses. Receivables are considered past due on an individual basis based on the terms of the trade or the contracts. The Company's allowance for credit losses is to be maintained at an amount considered adequate to absorb estimated credit-related losses. Such allowance reflects management's best estimate of the losses in the Company's credit portfolio and judgments about economic conditions. Estimates and judgments could change in the near-term, and could result in a significant change to a previously recognized allowance. An allowance for credit losses may be increased by provisions which are charged to expense and reduced by write-offs net of recoveries. There was no allowance for credit losses as at December 31, 2006 and 2005. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, 2 and 3 customers, respectively, accounted for 88% and 83% respectively, of accounts receivable. (e) Marketable securities The Company's available-for-sale securities consist of shares of common stock of three and four publicly traded companies at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and are stated at fair value. The cost of these securities is $223,654 at December 31, 2006 (2005 - $228,230) and the net unrealized holding gain of $359,605 at December 31, 2006 (2005 - $560,836) is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at December 31, 2006. Any unrealized holding gains or losses in these securities are included in the determination of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If a loss in value in the available-for-sale securities is considered to be other than F-8 SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.) temporary, it is recognized in the determination of net income. All unrealized holding losses at December 31, 2006 are on securities that have been in a loss position less than twelve months; these securities have a fair market value of $111,384 at December 31, 2006. Cost is based on the specific identification method for the individual securities to determine realized gains or losses. (f) Inventories Inventories consist mainly of packaged fertilizer and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the anticipated selling prices less all further costs for distribution. (g) Revenue recognition Revenue from sales of fertilizers is recognized on the delivery of goods to customers and when collection of revenue proceeds is reasonably assured. (h) Restricted cash The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, SB Spain, under the terms of its lease agreement, is required to collateralize its lease obligation and commitment. SB Spain has collateralized its lease obligation and commitment by assigning certificates of deposit to a respective institution. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company holds certificates of deposit under the lease agreement the value of which is shown as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. (i) Equipment Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed using the straight-line method. Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the following useful lives: Office and production equipment 5-20 years (j) Foreign currency translations and transactions The Company and SB Bermuda's functional currencies are US dollars. Piksa Inter LLC and its subsidiaries and SB Spain (as of January 1, 2006) are considered to be self-sustaining foreign operations and their accounts are accounted for using the Russian Rouble (RUR) and the Euro, respectively, as the functional currency. The Company translates foreign assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries, other than those denominated in U.S. dollars, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the year. Gains or F-9 SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.) losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, which amount was not material for 2006, 2005, and 2004. (k) Concentration of credit risk The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. From time to time, the Company maintains funds in banks beyond the insured limits. The Company sold its goods predominantly to a limited number of companies all located in Russia. Sales to three, four and three companies represented 72%, 82% and 88% of the total sales in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company purchased the majority of the raw materials from one supplier in 2006 and 2005. (l) Long-lived assets impairment Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses through December 31, 2006. (m) Comprehensive income The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity (Deficiency). Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. F-10 SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.) Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of the following at December 31:
2006 2005 $ $ ------------------ Foreign currency translation adjustments 139,676 6,431 Unrealized gains on marketable securities 359,605 560,836 ------------------ 499,281 567,267 ==================
(n) Research and development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. (o) Advertising expenses The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $6,451 in 2006 (2005 - $27,328; 2004 - $33,019). (p) Fair value of financial instruments and risks Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank loans, notes and loans payable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and because interest rates of long-term notes payable approximate market interest rates. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The Company operates outside of the United States of America and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the U.S. dollar. (q) Income taxes The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that F-11 SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.) have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is subject to taxes on income earned in Russia and Spain. (r) Earnings (Loss) per share The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share", which requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive securities and is equivalent to basic loss per share for 2006, 2005 and 2004 because there are no potentially dilutive securities. (s) New accounting pronouncements In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet determined if there will be a material impact in applying FIN 48 with respect to the tax effects of foreign subsidiaries. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements but does not require any new fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet determined the impact of applying FAS 157. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expresses SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The Company does not expect any material impact from applying SAB 108. 2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd.) F-12 SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.) In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting FAS 159 on the Company's financial position. 3. MARKETABLE SECURITIES Marketable securities consist of available-for-sale securities and are summarized as follows:

At December 31, 2005, the investment in securities of one publicly traded company classified as available-for-sale were written down $88,192 to their estimated realizable value, because, in the opinion of management, the decline in the market value of those securities was considered to be other than temporary. 4.

7. INCOME TAX PROVISION The Company and its subsidiaries operate in several tax jurisdictions, and its income is subject to various rates of taxation. The Company and its subsidiary in Bermuda are not subject to income taxes because of the countries in which they were incorporated, while the Russian subsidiaries and Spanish subsidiary are subject to income tax in Russia and Spain, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the Company's provision for income taxes and is based on the tax rates applicable to the parents or subsidiaries jurisdiction of incorporation.

The Company has established the above valuation allowances as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 due to uncertainty of future realization of future income tax assets. The change in the valuation allowance was $50,000 for 2006, $54,000 for 2005 and $21,000 for 2004. At December 31, 2006, the Company has approximately $780,000 of loss carryforwards which can be used against future earnings in Spain. F-15 SOIL BIOGENICS LIMITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004 (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2006, is $62,136 owed to a minority interest owner of Biopotok-Piksa for purchases of inventory items. During 2004, the Company settled a liability of $379,733 due to a shareholder of the Company by transferring certain marketable securities it owned at a fair value of $379,733. 9. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES (a) The Company's subsidiary in Spain has entered into an office lease agreement expiring June 2007 with approximate future minimum lease payments amounting to $15,000 in 2007. Rent expense under this operating lease amounted to approximately $42,000 in 2006 (2005 - $32,000). The Company also leases office and production space for its fertilizer operations in Russia under short term lease arrangements. (b) The Company's Russian subsidiaries - PIKSA, NPO and Biogrunt and Biopotok-Piksa, Biogruntstroy and Piksa Domodedovo are subject to significant exposure to the Russian business and fiscal environment. Russia currently has a number of laws related to various taxes imposed by both federal and regional governmental authorities. Applicable taxes include value added tax, corporate income (profits tax), a number of turnover based taxes, and payroll (social) taxes. Laws related to these taxes have not been in force for significant periods, in contrast to more developed market economies; therefore, implementing regulations are often unclear or nonexistent. Accordingly, few precedents with regard to tax related issues have been established. Often, different opinions regarding legal interpretation exist both among and within government ministries and organizations; thus creating uncertainties and areas of conflict. Tax declarations, together with other legal compliance areas (as examples, customs and currency control matters) are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, who are enabled by law to impose extremely severe fines, penalties and interest charges. These facts create tax risks in Russia substantially more significant than those typically found in countries with more developed tax systems. Generally, tax declarations remain subject to inspection for a period of three years. The fact that a year has been reviewed does not preclude the Russian Tax Service from performing a subsequent inspection of that year. Management believes that, based on current year results, it has adequately provided for tax liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements; however, the risk remains as those relevant authorities could take different positions with regard to interpretive issues.

COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES (CONT'D) (c) Obligations under capital leases In April 2006 Piksa entered into leases for equipment to be used in its fertilizer production operations. The total amount of the lease payments required under the leases are RUR 12,542,806 ($476,501 at December 31, 2006) excluding the value added tax at 18%. These leases have been accounted for as capital leases at imputed interest rates ranging from 20% to 23% for financial statement purposes. Future minimum lease payments under the capital leases are as follows for years ending December 31:

The note bears interest at 20% per annum, is unsecured and is due April 2010. In February 2007, the Company received proceeds under a note in the amount of 200,000 Euros ($264,060 at December 31, 2006). The note bears interest at 20% per annum, is unsecured and is due December 2010. In February 2007, NPO Piksa entered into a loan agreement with a bank.

The total amount of the lease payments required under the lease are RUR 6,348,962 ($241,197 at December 31, 2006). This lease will be accounted for as a capital lease for financial statement purposes. In April 2007, the Company received proceeds under a note in the amount of 240,000 Euros ($316,872 at December 31, 2006). The note bears interest at 20% per annum, is unsecured and is due April 2010.
