Business of PioneerIBA Green
|
Pioneer is a holding company with its sole business being the management of IBA Green’s business. IBA Green is a technology company that develops and utilizes technology designed to be used in the treatment and conversion of incinerated bottom ash.
IBA Green has developed a process to mitigate the environmental issues of the toxic end products of the Waste-to-Energy industry, and has developed a patented process to safely and profitably utilize the toxic end product (the “IBA Technology”). The IBA Technology works in synergy with the Waste-to-Energy industry, converting the toxic end products into commercially viable green construction products.
Waste-to energy (WtE) or energy-form-waste (EfW) is the process of creating energy in the form of electricity or heat from the incineration of waste sources. Incineration, the combustion of organic material such as waste with energy recovery is the most common WtE implementation. After incineration, solid waste is reduced to 10% of its original volume and contains traces of lead, zinc, and mercury. This toxic end product is commonly referred to as “incinerated bottom ash” or
“IBA”.
Form 8-KA / Redlined - Page - 2
The IBA Technology is a cost effective process for stabilizing the chemical structure and altering the mechanical qualities of IBA. This proprietary process enables IBA Green to up-cycle IBA into commercially viable construction aggregate products that meet industry performance specifications and exceed environmental standards, including the latest US EPA standards dealing with extractable metals content testing. IBA Green plans to utilize its reclamation and recycling technology to convert the millions of tons of IBA impounded in landfills and leaching toxins into ecosystems to valuable green, marketable construction resources.
Products and Services
The IBA Technology blendswill blend various materials with the IBA to stabilize the IBA. Once the IBA is stabilized, IBA Green manufactureswill manufacture engineered construction aggregates using the stabilized IBA. The aggregates arewill be engineered-gradations that will enhance the mechanical properties of IBA’s products (the “IBA Aggregates”). These unique blends may then be used for engineered products with predetermined structural properties; similar
to the way recycled wood chips and sawdust are now incorporated into engineered structural wood products.
From the IBA Aggregates, IBA Green produceswill produce two product groups:
1.
|
Construction Aggregates
|
The construction aggregates utilize Portland cement or other products mixed with the IBA Aggregates to form concrete product lines. IBA Green’s primary construction aggregates products include:
·
|
Controlled-density fills (thermal and non-thermal) for superior trench restoration with zero settlement and the ability to re-excavate
|
·
|
Duct-bank concrete (thermal and non-thermal) for utility conduit encasement and protection
|
·
|
Grouts (thermal and non-thermal, cementitous and non-cementitous) for directional drilling and compaction grouts
|
·
|
High-strength, rapid-setting concretes for infrastructure repair, bridge, tunnel and roads
|
2.
|
Pre-cast Concrete Products
|
Pre-cast concrete products utilize nanotechnology elements integrated into the engineered aggregates. These create a corrosion resistant and high strength product line that can replace structural concrete in corrosive and degrading environments such as bridge decks, or in areas where concrete is subjected to salts, reactive soils, or wastewater streams.
IBA Green’s precast concrete products include:
Thermal Products
IBA Green plans on developing a line of performance products to enhance and support the electric industry rebuilding the electric grid in the United States and abroad, as well as providing eco-friendly materials for burgeoning renewable green energy industries. IBA Green’s Thermal concrete and Thermal backfill products will be developed for the purpose of enhancing both the longevity and performance specifications of high voltage underground electric transmission cables.

Fly Ash Polymer Concretes - The Eternal Cement
Polymer concrete is a high performance material which contains Pozzolans. Pozzolans have high values of mechanical parameters and chemical resistance maintaining anti-corrosion protection and excellent mechanical strength. Artificial Pozzolana is derived from fly-ash, which IBA Green will use to produce Fly Ash Polymer concrete.

Pozzolans have high values of mechanical parameters and chemical resistance maintaining anti-corrosion protection and excellent mechanical strength. Artificial Pozzolana is derived from fly-ash, which IBA Green utilizes to produce Fly Ash Polymer concrete, which is ideal for construction.
Markets
IBA Green’s sales strategy is to identify the applications and products needed in each local market. Management expects to become the “preferred material provider” for local electric utilities and municipalities.
IBA Green’s pre-cast concrete products offer the best price point for the cement products, and the nano-technology products create the largest per ton return, but at this time the market for them is the most limited. While pre-cast products can help smooth out the cyclical tendencies of the construction aggregate products business, construction aggregates such as road base and controlled density fill command a lower price point but also represent the largest volume market.
IBA Green has adopted a multi-pronged marketing approach, including public-private partnerships, strategic industrial partners, third-party distribution channels, and direct sales.
In public-private partnerships, management believes it can bridge the gap between disparate government entities and private companies. Management believes that the agency that regulate waste ( US EPA ) does not interact with the agency that regulate roadways and infrastructure (The Department of Transportation). With WtE plants becoming a more attractive alternative energy source, the IBA Technology is a viable solution to the critical IBA waste disposal problem and may also reduce construction costs by utilizing IBA aggregates rather than virgin materials. Management believes that these facts will encourage more local and state governments to codify the use of the recycled IBA
into their roadways and infrastructure. Once government specifications are in place, construction companies for municipal and private customers will be able buy their aggregate products from a local, eco-friendly source.

place, construction companies for municipal and private customers will be able buy their aggregate products from a local, eco-friendly source.
Potential strategic industrial partners will include any company currently involved in waste management and recycling, such as Covanta Energy, and Wheelabrator Technologies along with utility companies such as Dominion Power or National Grid and energy producers such as American Electric Power and Tennesse Valley Authority. The management team of IBA Green has 40 years of experience working in the power utility business, and plans to expand its marketing outreach, both nationally and globally with IBA Technology.
Strategic industrial partners include all those companies currently involved in waste management and recycling, along with utility companies and energy producers. Management has a proven track record with companies in all these industries, and plans to expand its marketing outreach, both nationally and globally.
Third-party distribution channels would be set up via a franchise or strategic partner model. IBA Green has targeted several market locations such as the states of Illinois and Hawaii that have ash disposal problems that management believes are rich in opportunity. As these geographic locations are developed by IBA Green management would consider identifying local strategic partners to purchase or manage these locations. In addition, management envisions small-scale solutions for small municipalities and large institutions that can be independently operated.
Third-party distribution channels would be set up via a franchise model, including locations that already have large scale IBA Green implementations in place and seek to own and operate the equipment and plants independently. In addition, management envisions small-scale solutions for small municipalities and large institutions that can be independently operated.
Lastly, direct sales will be made to other material processors who can utilize the recycled IBA for their specific construction material products. One example of this customer might be material suppliers who’s virgin resources quarries may be in the process of depletion, or that their virgin aggregates are of poor quality and may not meet specification.
Lastly, direct sales will be made to other material processors who can utilize the recycled IBA for their specific construction material products. One example of this sort of customer might be a roadway sub-base provider.
Management sees both developed countries and developing countries as essentially unlimited markets for its recycled IBA Aggregates due to the need for utilities infrastructures in developing countries and for maintenance and repair of aging utilities in the developed countries.
One critical issue facing the United States market at this point in history is the breakdown and failure of the electrical grid transmission and distribution system. This infrastructure crisis is identified and addressed in the Clean Energy Act of 2005. The research behind the Clean Energy Act of 2005 calls for the rebuilding of the entire electric grid, with spending estimated at $8 billion annually for construction. Virtually all the IBA generated from United States WtE plants could be converted into aggregate products used in construction products to rebuild this
electrical grid.
Distribution Methods
IBA Green’s distribution method is to treat and neutralize the ash on-site of the coal burning facility, eliminating the transportation, tipping and legacy insurance costs.
Form 8-KA / Redlined - Page - 4
The largest target market for our IBA Green technology are municipal electric utility power providers which transport the ash they manufacture daily to one of the 1300 municipal or private landfills or mono-fill ash dumps located across the United States. The cost to utility power providers to dispose of their ash exceeds the actual tipping fees paid to dump facilities, which is due to the transportation costs of fuel, trucking, and rail expense.
Another of our large volume target markets are the ash landfills and monofills. These dump sites are located across the country and are rich with IBA.
The distribution model that IBA Green is developing is based on plant mobility utilizing on-site feedstock. Setting up mobile manufacturing plants at each site provides accessible aggregate deposits that IBA Green converts into marketable construction aggregate products, while also systematically and safely eliminating all the environmental hazards.
The distribution model that IBA Green has successfully developed and perfected is based on plant mobility utilizing at-site feedstock. Setting up mobile manufacturing plants at each site provides accessible aggregate deposits which we convert into marketable construction aggregate products, while also systematically and safely eliminating all the environmental hazards.
Several key factors support and influence the IBA Green installation model:
·
|
Mobility: unlike traditional aggregate manufacturers who deliver, typically by truck, finished products from a manufacturing facility to the construction site, IBA Green will set up mobile facilities to produce IBA Aggregates on-site, bringing the raw aggregate materials to the construction venue prior to the manufacturing process.
|
·
|
On-site manufacturing cutswill cut down on shipping costs for the raw aggregate materials, since these materials can be delivered during off-peak hours and safely stored prior to manufacture. Savings on diesel truck fuel and reduced greenhouse gases are will be significant also.
|
·
|
The on-site approach allowswill allow products to be closely tailored to the precise soil and climate conditions of the site. IBA Green can alter and revise a particular product after multiple test pours before determining the optimal mix for a specific site.
|
·
|
Research and development occurswill occur in actual site installations, not in controlled lab settings. As the installer, IBA Green directly controls and assesses the performance of its products in real time and in the real world. Truly understanding product performance in actual field conditions keepswill keep IBA GREEN on the cutting edge of ongoing technical improvements.
|
Status of Products
The management team of IBA Green has manufactured Thermal Concrete, Fluidized Thermal backfill, Thermal Grouts as well as structural concrete for duct bank system and pre-cast products utilizing Class F and Class C fly coal ash and coal based bottom ash. The management team of IBA Green has successfully completed US EPA 1311TCLP heavy metal extraction bench testing of Incinerator Bottom Ash from the WTE plant in Singapore. The mechanical performance of fly ash and Bottom Ash from WTE plants behave quite similarly to that of combusted coal. The differentiating factors between the two are the chemical make-up of the two ashes.
The next step for product production will be to move on from laboratory bench testing to insitu testing for chemical neutralization.
The process to chemically neutralize the heavy metals and the toxins in ash products are both site and product specific. Each facility that IBA Green will draw ash feed -stock from, will require on-site testing to determine the highest and best use products from the chemical analysis. Additionally the product demands and market absorption rate will shape the product mix.
From initial test process to the manufacture of products will require 9-12 months and will cost $1 million to $5 million of investment, depending on the size of the facility. The size of the IBA Green facility is determined by the daily and monthly intake volume of ash produced by the combustion facility. A combustion facility producing 350 tons or more of ash per day would be identified as a large facility; volumes under 150 tons per day would be considered a small facility.
The first stage of our production facility will be to neutralize the ash, up-cycling from a hazardous residue waste to green feed-stock. The second stage will be to manufacture aggregate materials such as silica sands and stone aggregate. The third stage of our production facility would be to manufacture the desired products from the aggregate materials.
Form 8-KA / Redlined - Page - 5
One of the cornerstone principals of our IBA Green financial model is to locate our facility as close to the combustion facility as possible. Eliminating or reducing the cost of loading and transporting the ash feed-stock from the combustion site to the manufacturing production facility if vital to cost controls. Manufacturing a product mix that will be consumed within a 25 mile radius of the manufacturing plant is another cost control measure.
The IBA Green Corporate office will be located in Newport Beach, California, however manufacturing facilities will be located at the location of the ash manufacturer.
IBA Green currently has no new products that it has announced or disclosed to the public.
Competitive Conditions
IBA Green’s competitive advantage is its IBA Technology and the ability of the IBA Technology to manipulate IBA mechanical properties and the stabilization of IBA chemical structure into an inert and non-toxic aggregate.
Weakness & Threats
Capitalization: Adequate funding is the greatest risk that IBA Green faces. Testing procedures are site-specific for both the chemical neutralization as well as product development. The chemical make-up of IBA is established by the input trash. The waste stream of a primarily residential community has a different complexion than that of a community with an industrial base. So the testing process is site-specific and ongoing. The rate of growth is predicated on availability working capital.
Resistance to change: Institutional inertia is a potential threat. Communities that have made a continues decision to implement WTE as a means to reduce their waste stream by up to 90% and up-cycle trash to energy create the path of least resistance to IBA Greens business model. These communities are already recycling 90% of their waste stream and have driven cultural and social change in regard to their waste stream. Introducing the concept of recycling the last 10% of that waste stream is a natural progression. The cultural change for large energy producers that have been burning coal may prove to be a more difficult transition.
IBA Green’s competitive advantages are multiple:
·
|
a management team with 20 years of experience in developing, producing, and installing IBA Aggregates nationally and internationally
|
·
|
unique, patented processes for the manipulation of IBA mechanical properties and the stabilization of IBA chemical structure
|
·
|
a manufacturing process for large volume, high quality products in mobile and remote locations, similar to the process model used on-site at incineration facilities
|
·
|
a revolutionary process for the fluidizing the installation of virgin and synthetic aggregate products to guarantee product performance
|
·
|
experience and expertise in meeting product requirements and project specifications of major electrical distribution and transmission facilities
|
·
|
with real time, end user experience of its own products, management has an invaluable database of practical knowledge to bring to any project analysis and execution
|
·
|
experience and expertise in the process of product approvals on state, federal, and local levels, which is essential for successful collaboration with government authorities
|
·
|
access to long-term performance data sets IBA Green apart from all its competitors
|
·
|
experience of manufacturing and installing across the United States and in several foreign countries, in all weather environments and ground conditions, has provided management with invaluable performance criteria
|
·
|
the development of new lines of performance products to enhance and support the explosive market for rebuilding the electric grid in the United States, as well as providing eco-friendly materials for burgeoning green energy, wind, solar, and thermal industries.
|
Also, there are obvious economic reasons for the electric utility companies to purchase re-cycled IBA construction aggregate products from locally operated plants. These utility companies have a moral responsibility to support and encourage the re-cycling of the IBA of their own power industry, and it makes economic sense as well: The conversion of the IBA completes the recycling loop of waste, turning the IBA into commercially viable, eco-friendly products. The IBA Technology will increase the “air -space” or life-span of landfills considerably, in many cases possibly doubling their life and the manufacturing plants will create
inner city jobs and municipal revenues
Finally, converting IBA will reduce the need to strip mine natural resource materials. Creation of IBA Aggregates that provide better performance characteristics than traditional natural resource materials will result in both superior performance and a net environmental benefit. Also, IBA Green’s model reduces CO2 emissions from mining operations, from the trucking of the ash out of the city, and from the transport of aggregates back into the city. Significant transportation dollars can be redirected into the conversion of a waste product to marketable, recycled
products. The IBA Green model will add a revenue stream from the waste products of WtE, while reinforcing the goal of reducing dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels in general.
Raw Materials and Equipment
IBA Green requires ash as the requisite raw material to produce the IBA Aggregates and other products. This raw material is abundant and is available from coal burning and waste to energy electric power plants andat no cost to IBA Green. In certain circumstances, the owner of such raw material will pay IBA Green to haul the ash and store it.
The equipment needed to produce the IBA Aggregates and other products, IBA Green will purchase the manufacturing equipment needed to mass produce the IBA Aggregates and other products our product linefrom one of several national equipment manufacturers. Currently, IBA does not have any mass production facilities, nor any agreement with any manufacturers to purchase all of this equipment. Management estimates that the cost of the equipment to build a medium size plant to neutralize ash will cost approximately $2 million
dollars. The lead time from the initial order to purchase is approximately six months.
Principal Suppliers
IBA Green does not have any principal suppliers that it relies upon. IBA Green can obtain the feedstock ash from existing utility plants and landfills, the by product of burning both coal and municipal waste.
There are currently 700 operating plant locations in the United States to partner with as suppliers as listed below:
1.

IBA Green currently has no principal suppliers for equipment or raw materials. IBA Green's business model is to partner with electric power manufacturers to treat the daily output of ash they manufacture, eliminating the costly expense of trucking and dumping the ash in landfills.. IBA Green will identify the equipment manufacture best suited for each project once the type of ash and daily volumes and geographic location of the plant are secured.
Dependence on Customers
Currently, IBA Green is not and will not be dependent on one or a few major customers.
Technology and Intellectual Property
Neither Pioneer nor IBA Green currently own any patents or trade marks, with the exception of the following:
United States Patent number 7,581,903 B1, Entitled “Method Of Manufacture And Installation Flowable Thermal Backfills”

Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation
THE FOLLOWING IS A DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS THAT MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IS RELEVANT TO AN ASSESSMENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF IBA GREEN, INC. FOR THE PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2011. THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES APPEARING ELSEWHERE HEREIN.
Overview
IBA Green, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 21, 2011.
IBA Green is a development stage company. IBA Green’s principal business is the development and utilization of technology designed to be used in the treatment and conversion of incinerated bottom ash.
Currently, IBA Green does not have any manufacturing facilities, operations, suppliers, products, or customers, nor any current means of generating revenues.
Plan of Operation
Neither Pioneer nor IBA Green have had any significant revenues generated from its business operations since inception. Management expects that the revenues generated from IBA Green’s business for the next 12 months will not be enough for its required working capital. Until IBA Green is able to generate any consistent and significant revenue it will be required to raise additional funds by way of equity or debt financing.
At any phase, if IBA Green finds that it does not have adequate funds to complete a phase, it may have to suspend its operations and attempt to raise more money so it can proceed with its business operations. If IBA Green cannot raise the capital to proceed it may have to suspend operations until it has sufficient capital.
To become profitable and competitive, IBA Green needs to continue to develop and advance the IBA Aggregates to a point where they can be sold commercially. To achieve this goal, management has prepared the following phases for its plan of operation for the next 12 months:
1. Phase One.
In Phase One IBA plans to (1) complete negotiations and sign contracts for the purpose of acquiring IBA’s and converting the IBA’s into commercially viable products; and (2) obtain lab and office space.
IBA Green has budgeted $450,000 for this phase and expects it to take three months to complete, with completion expected within the first three months of IBA Green’s plan of operation.
2. Phase Two.
In Phase Two IBA plans to (1) conduct and complete analytical laboratory testing on IBA’s, including gathering and shipping the IBA samples and conducting initial characterization testing on the IBA samples; (2) develop the requisite chemistry to stabilize the IBA’s; (3) develop the IBA Aggregates and other products that are of the highest quality and represent the best use for the particular IBA; (4) begin the long-term environmental compliance testing; and (5) develop and market IBA Green’s business.
Form 8-KA / Redlined - Page - 8
The development of the IBA Green’s business will consist of identifying potential viable target markets, producing a list of equipment required in the particular target markets, and identifying potential suppliers and equipment providers. Target markets will be identified based (a) the daily volume of ash produced at the generation facility and (b) the absorbsion market rate and price point of the product that can be manufactured.
Simultaneously, IBA Green will develop and populate its website (www.ibagreen.com) with information regarding its business and products.
IBA Green has budgeted $550,000 for this phase and expects it to take three months to complete, with completion expected within the first six months of IBA Green’s plan of operation.
3. Phase Three
In Phase Three IBA plans to (1) retain production engineers and industrial engineers to design the equipment and line specification for a prototype that will convert the IBA’s into IBA Aggregate or other products; (2) acquire the mechanical engineering hardware; (3) build and assemble a production prototype; and (4) further development and marketing IBA Green’s business and products.
IBA Green has budgeted $500,000 for this phase and expects it to take three months to complete, with completion expected within the last six months of IBA Green’s plan of operation.
4. Phase Four
In Phase Four IBA plans to (1) set up the on-site manufacturing prototype for the conversion of the IBA’s into IBA Aggregates and other products; (2) perform further testing on the IBA Aggregates and other products manufactured on-site to confirm they are the highest quality and best-use site specific to the particular IBA; (3) complete third party laboratory product testing for certification; and (4) continued development and marketing of IBA Green’s business and products.
IBA Green has budgeted $2,000,000 for this phase and expects it to take three months to complete, with completion expected within the last three months of IBA Green’s plan of operation.
Financial Condition
As at August 31, 2011, IBA Green had a cash balance of $40. During the 12 month period following the date of this current report, management anticipates that neither Pioneer nor IBA Green will generate any revenue. Accordingly, IBA Green will be required to obtain financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management anticipates that the financing will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of Pioneer’s common stock. If Pioneer is successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in Pioneer. However, management does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors
with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient financing from the sale of Pioneer’s common stock to finance the plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, IBA Green will not be able to implement its plan of operation and the business plan will fail.
In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:
●
|
Management anticipates spending approximately $3,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $36,000 over the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to Pioneer’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees and general office expenses.
|
●
|
Management anticipates spending approximately $12,000 in complying with Pioneer’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of Pioneer’s financial statements and completing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC.
|
Form 8-KA / Redlined - Page - 9
IBA Green will require approximately $50,000 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2011, IBA Green had total assets of $1,926,04040, and a working capital deficit of $50,00049,900. Assets consisted solely of $40 in cash,$878,000 in equipment, $641,000 in patents, and $407,000 in pre-opening deferred costs. Liabilities consisted of $1,434,040 due to a shareholder and $$442,000 in notes payable25,000 in accrued liabilities and
$24,940 due to related parties.
There are no assurances that IBA Green will be able to achieve sales of its common stock or any other form of additional financing. If IBA Green is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then IBA Green will not be able to continue its development programs and its business will fail.
IBA Green will need to raise additional capital to execute its plan of operation. As described above, for the next 12 months IBA Green plans on securing contracts for the purpose of acquiring IBA’s and converting the IBA’s into commercially viable products, testing and stabilizing IBA, developing IBA Aggregates, designing and building production equipment, and testing and manufacturing IBA Aggregates, all at an estimated cost of $3.50 million. If IBA Green does not receive sufficient funding on a timely basis, it could have a material adverse effect on its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects. Additionally, if Pioneer and IBA Green receive funding, it
may be on terms that are not favorable to Pioneer and its stockholders. There are no assurances that Pioneer will be able to achieve further sales of its common stock or any other form of additional financing. If Pioneer and IBA Green are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then IBA Green will not be able to continue its development programs and its business will fail.

Critical Accounting Policies
IBA Green’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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. Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of Pioneer’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of Pioneer’s financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. IBA Green bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The actual results experienced by IBA Green may differ materially and adversely from IBA Green’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
DepreciationPatents
Patents are stated at cost and have a definite life. Once the IBA Green receives patent approval, amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the patents.
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment are provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using both the straight-line and accelerated methods based on the following useful lives:
Equipment 5-7 years
Patent 15 years
Pre-opening / Deferred Costs 15 years
Forward Looking Statements
Inventory
Inventory, consisting of raw materials, is stated at the lower of cost or market value, with cost determined on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis.
Accounts Receivable, Revenue Recognition
Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for expected losses. IBA Green has no outstanding accounts. IBA Green recognizes revenue as funds are received.

Pioneer has not adopted a policy that permits shareholders to recommend candidates for election as directors or a process for shareholders to send communications to the board of directors.

Pioneer’s Board of Directors has determined that it does not presently need an audit committee financial expert on the Board of Directors to carry out the duties of the Audit Committee.

(c) Director independence
Pioneer’s board of directors currently consists of Thomas BradyAngelo Scola. Pursuant to Item 407(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, Pioneer’s board of directors has adopted the definition of “independent director” as set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual. In summary, an “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of Pioneer or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of Pioneer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgement in carrying out the responsibilities of a director,
and includes any director who accepted any compensation from Pioneer in excess of $200,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months with the three past fiscal years. Also, the ownership of Pioneer’s stock will not preclude a director from being independent.
In applying this definition, Pioneer’s board of directors has determined that Mr. BradyScola does not qualify as an “independent director” pursuant to Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual.
As of the date of the report, Pioneer did not maintain a separately designated compensation or nominating committee.
Pioneer has also adopted this definition for the independence of the members of its audit committee. Thomas BradyAngelo Scola serves on Pioneer’s audit committee. Pioneer’s board of directors has determined that Mr. BradyScola is not “independent” for purposes of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual, applicable to audit, compensation and nominating committee members, and is not “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act.
Item 8. Legal Proceedings.
Neither Pioneer nor IBA Green is a party to any pending legal proceedings and, to the best of Pioneer’s knowledge, none of Pioneer’s or IBA Green’s property or assets are the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

(b) Holders of Record
Pioneer has approximately 20 holders of record of Pioneer’s common stock as of August 31, 2011 according to a shareholders’ list provided by Pioneer’s transfer agent as of that date. The number of registered shareholders does not include any estimate by Pioneer of the number of beneficial owners of common stock held in street name. The transfer agent for Pioneer’s common stock is Empire Stock Transfer Inc., 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, Nevada, 89014 and their telephone number is 702-818-5898.
(c) Dividends
Pioneer has declared no dividends on its common stock, and is not subject to any restrictions that limit its ability to pay dividends on its shares of common stock. Dividends are declared at the sole discretion of Pioneer’s Board of Directors.
Trading in Pioneer’s common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends Pioneer’s common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction
involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in Pioneer’s securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of Pioneer’s securities. The application of the “penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell Pioneer’s securities.
Item 10. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three years that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-K; with the exception of the following:

For the issuance of shares to Mr. Scola, Pioneer relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Management is satisfied that Pioneer complied with the requirements of the exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery of the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 11. Description of Pioneer’s Securities.
As of October 28, 2011January 13, 2012, there were 49,764,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which were held by approximately 20 stockholders of record.
Pioneer has an authorized capital of 75,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 65,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 49,764,500 shares of common stock are currently issued and outstanding, and (b) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which no shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding
Holders of Pioneer’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of Pioneer’s common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy. Holders of Pioneer’s common stock representing 25% of Pioneer’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of Pioneer’s
stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of Pioneer’s outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to Pioneer’s Articles of Incorporation. A vote by the holders of at least two-thirds of Pioneer’s outstanding shares is required to effectuate an amendment to Article VII of Pioneer’s Bylaws. Pioneer’s Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Holders of Pioneer’s common stock will be entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by Pioneer’s board of directors from funds available therefore.
Holders of Pioneer’s common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to Pioneer’s common stock.
Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution to such holders, subject to any rights the holders of Pioneer’s preferred stock may have.
The board of directors of Pioneer is authorized, to the maximum extent provided by law, to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock and to fix the designations, voting powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the shares of preferred stock or such series.
Form 8-KA / Redlined - Page - 18
Change of Control
Certain provisions of Pioneer’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Nevada law could be used by Pioneer’s incumbent management to make it substantially more difficult for a third party to acquire control of Pioneer. These provisions include the following:
a.
|
the board of directors may fill casual vacancies occurring in the board between annual meetings of shareholders to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders; or
|
b.
|
The board of directors’ discretion to fix the designations, voting powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the shares of preferred stock or such series
|
These provisions may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change in control. These provisions may also limit Pioneer’s shareholders’ ability to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests and discourage transactions in which Pioneer’s shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the then current market price.
Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pioneer’s officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and its Bylaws. Under the governing Nevada statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless a company’s articles of incorporation specifically limit it. Pioneer’s Articles of Incorporation do not contain any limiting language regarding director immunity from liability, except for the following:
|
1. for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or knowing violation of the law; or
|
2. the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Pioneer’s Bylaws provide that Pioneer will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law. Pioneer’s Bylaws provide that Pioneer will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive officer of another company, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding,
promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under Pioneer’s Bylaws or otherwise.
Pioneer’s Bylaws provide that the board of directors may cause Pioneer to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer, of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive officer of another company, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not Pioneer would have the power to indemnify such person.
Article Eighth of the Certificate of Incorporation IBA Green provides that the personal liability of the directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty will be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. Also, IBA Green is authorized to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law.
Article XI of the Bylaws of IBA Green also provides that the officers and directors will be indemnified by IBA Green against the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceedings, or in connection with any appeal therein except in relation to matters as to which it would be adjudged in such action, suit, or proceedings, or in connection with any appeal therein that such officer or director is liable for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duties.
Form 8-KA / Redlined - Page - 19
Accordingly, IBA Green’s directors may have no liability to its shareholders for any mistakes or errors of judgment or for any act of omission, unless the act or omission involves intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law or results in unlawful distributions to our shareholders.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Pioneer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Pioneer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item 13. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Reference is made to the filings by Pioneer on Forms 10-K and 10-Q for Pioneer’s Financial Statements.

To the Director and Stockholders of
IBA Green, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of IBA Green, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of August 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' deficit for the period from July 21, 2011 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2011. 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.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 audit provides 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 IBA Green, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of August 31, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 21, 2011 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Nature of Operations and Going Concern
|
IBA Green, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 21, 2011. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Enterprises. The Company’s past and planned future principal business is providing the safe disposal of waste products by creating commercially viable green products.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at August 31, 2011, the Company has not generated revenue, has a working
capital deficiency of $49,900 and has accumulated losses of $99,900 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is August 31.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value and recovery of assets. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c)
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of other comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. During the period ended August 31, 2011 the Company had no items that represent other comprehensive income.
e)
|
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
|
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used
in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at August 31, 2011, the Company had no potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
|
ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accrued liabilities and due to related parties.
Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of August 31, 2011 as follows:

The Company has elected to be taxed under subchapter “S” of the provisions of section 102(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Using this election makes the company a pass through entity and requires the members to record on their personal income tax returns, the net taxable income or loss for the year being reported on. The liability to the Company is only for state minimum taxes.
Patents are stated at cost and have a definite life. Once the Company receives patent approval, amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the remaining life of the patents.

Changes in Control of Registrant.
|
On October 28, 2011, there was a change in control in the voting shares of Pioneer. The basis of the change in control was a change in the controlling shareholder as a result of the acquisition of IBA Green, Inc.
Angelo Scola became the controlling shareholder by selling all of his shares in the capital of IBA Green, Inc. to Pioneer in consideration for 38.5 million restricted shares of common stock in the capital of Pioneer, which represents 77.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in the capital of Pioneer, for the price of $0.10 per share.
Prior to the change of control, the following shareholders beneficially owned 5% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Pioneer: Thomas Brady owned 22.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. After the change of control, Mr. Brady still owns 2.5 million shares of common stock in the capital of the Pioneer, which now represents 5.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
Item 5.06.
|
Change in Shell Company Status.
|
As a result of the transaction described under Item 1.01 above, Pioneer is no longer a shell company. See Item 1.01 for information relating to the Share Purchase Agreement and Item 2.01 for a description of Pioneer’s business following completion of the transaction described under Item 1.01.

Form 8-KA / Redlined - Page - 36
SECTION 3. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting and, in case of special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall unless otherwise prescribed by statute, be delivered not less than ten nor more than twenty days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President or the Secretary or the persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer book of
the Corporation, with postage thereon paid.
SECTION 4. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, thirty days. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to
be not more than thirty days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than twenty days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders.

SECTION 5. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each.

SECTION 6. Quorum. A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders. If less than such a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. A majority of those shares present at a duly organized meeting of shareholders shall, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, be necessary for the transaction of any business.
SECTION 7. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting.

SECTION 9. Informal Action by Shareholders. Unless otherwise provided by law, any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.
SECTION 10. Cumulative Voting. Unless otherwise provided by law, at such election for Directors every shareholder entitled to vote at such election shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him or her for as many persons as there are Directors to be elected and for whose election they have a right to vote, or to cumulate their votes by giving one candidate as many votes as the number of such Directors multiplied by the number of shares shall equal, or by distributing such votes on the same principal among any number of candidates.

If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice be given by facsimile transmittal, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the fax is confirmed received by the receiving party. Any Director may waive notice of any meeting. The attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except where a Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need to be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
SECTION 6. Quorum. A majority of the members of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, provided, that if less than a majority of such number of Directors are present at said meeting, a majority of the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

Members of the Board of Directors of the corporation, or any committee designated by such board, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment, by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear one another, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
SECTION 9. Adjournment. A majority of the Directors present may adjourn any Director's meeting to meet again at a stated day and hour or until the time fixed for the next regular meeting of the board.
SECTION 10. Action Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so to be taken, shall be signed before such action by a majority of the Directors.

By resolution of the Board of Directors, each Director may be paid his expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, and may be paid a stated salary as a Director or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or both.

Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
(Unaudited)
Pursuant to a Letter AgreementShare Purchase Agreement dated September 30October 28, 2011, Pioneer Exploration Inc. (“Pioneer”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of IBA Green Inc. (“IBA Green”) in exchange for the issuance by Pioneer to the shareholders of IBA Green an aggregate of 38,500,000 shares of common stock. See Note 2.
These unaudited pro forma financial statements (“pro forma financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. These pro forma financial statements do not contain all of the information required for annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual and interim financial statements of Pioneer and IBA Green.
These pro forma financial statements have been compiled from and include:
(a) an unaudited pro forma balance sheet combining the unaudited balance sheet of Pioneer as at MayAugust 31, 2011, with the audited balance sheet of IBA Green as at August 31, 2011, giving effect to the transaction as if it occurred on September 1, 201009.
(b) an unaudited pro forma statement of operations including the audited annual statement of operations of Pioneer for the year ended August 31, 2010, with the audited statement of operations of IBA Green for the period from incorporation on July 21, 2011, to August 31, 2011, giving effect to the transaction as if it occurred on September 1, 2009.
(cb) an unaudited pro forma statement of operations combining the unaudited interimannual statement of operations of Pioneer for the nine monthsyear ended MayAugust 31, 2011, with the audited statement of operations of IBA Green for the period from incorporation on July 21, 2011, to August 31, 2011, giving effect to the transaction as if it occurred on September 1, 2010.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been compiled using the significant accounting policies as set out in the audited financial statements of Pioneer for the year ended August 31, 20110. Based on the review of the accounting policies of IBA Green, it is Pioneer management’s opinion that there are no material accounting differences between the accounting policies of Pioneer and IBA Green. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Pioneer.
It is management’s opinion that these pro forma financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation, in all material respects, of the proposed transaction described above in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with Pioneer’s accounting policies. No adjustments have been made to reflect potential cost savings that may occur subsequent to completion of the transaction. The pro forma statement of operations does not reflect non-recurring charges or credits directly attributable to the transaction, of which none are currently anticipated.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Pioneer which would have actually resulted had the proposed transaction been effected on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future.
Pursuant to a Letter AgreementShare Purchase Agreement dated September 30October 28, 2011, Pioneer agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of IBA Green in exchange for the issuance of 38,500,000 shares of Pioneer’s common stock. The share exchange was treated as a reverse acquisition with IBA Green deemed the accounting acquirer and Pioneer deemed the accounting acquiree under the purchase method of accounting, with the former shareholders of IBA Green controlling approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Pioneer after the closing of the
transaction. The reverse merger is deemed a recapitalization and the consolidated financial statements represent the continuation of the financial statements of IBA Green (the accounting acquirer/legal subsidiary) except for its capital structure, and the consolidated financial statements reflect the assets and liabilities of IBA Green recognized and measured at their carrying value before the combination and the assets and liabilities of Pioneer (the legalaccounting acquiree/legal parent). The equity structure reflects the equity structure of Pioneer, the legal parent, and the equity structure of IBA Green, the accounting acquirer, as restated using the exchange ratios established in the share exchange agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is summarized in the table below and is subject to change.
