FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains both historical and forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect the current expectations of our management concerning future results and events. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our plans to continue the marketing, commercialization and sale of our services and planned future products and product candidates; address certain markets; and evaluate additional product candidates for subsequent sales. In some cases, these statements may be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," or "continue," or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, the outcome of an ongoing contractual dispute in connection with our accounts receivable factoring arrangement, levels of business activity, performance, or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our or our industry's results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This quarterly report, including the MD&A, contains trend analysis and other forward-looking statements. Any statements in this quarterly report that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements made herein are based on our current expectations, involve a number of risks and uncertainties and should not be considered as guarantees of future performance.
The most pressing factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in our forward looking statements materially and adversely are our lack of working capital and our need to raise approximately $1.6 million of additional capital to payoff arrearages of approximately $900,000 of payroll taxes and $700,000 of labor union costs as of October 5, 2012; and the need to complete the winding down of our approximately $1.7 million accounts receivable factoring liability as of October 5, 2012 and to establish a new accounts receivable financing arrangement.
Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include without limitation:
· | our limited ability to repay our debt and our payroll tax and union costs arrearages and the potential adverse consequences thereof; |
· | the outcome of our ongoing dispute with our accounts receivable factor and the outcome of any future legal proceedings that may arise out of that dispute; |
· | our ability to continue to finance our business; |
· | an inability to arrange debt or equity financing; |
· | the outcome of potential disputes that could arise with labor unions; |
· | the impact of new technologies on our services and our competition; |
· | adverse changes in laws or rules or regulations of governmental agencies; |
· | interruptions or cancellation of existing contracts; |
· | impact of competitive services and pricing; |
· | continued availability of adequately skilled labor at the current prices; |
· | the ability of management to execute plans and motivate personnel in the execution of those plans; |
· | the presence of competitors with greater financial resources; |
· | our ability to maintain our current pricing model and/or decrease our cost of sales; |
· | the adoption of new, or changes in, accounting principles; |
· | the costs inherent with complying with new statutes and regulations applicable to public reporting companies, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 |
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our future results. The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report are made only as of the date of this quarterly report, and we do not have any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

URBAN AG. CORP. (formerly AQUAMER MEDICAL CORP)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2012
(unaudited)
1. Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure required for complete financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Urban AG. Corp (the "Company") as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012, or any other period.
Organization and Background
Urban Ag. (the “registrant”, “Company,” “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Urban Ag”) is the successor entity to Aquamer, Inc. (“AQUM”), a Delaware corporation, which was established in February 2000 to commercialize proprietary medical devices. In 2005 Aquamer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bellacasa Productions, Inc. (“Bellacasa”) a publicly traded company, which in 2007 distributed 100% of its AQUM shares to its shareholders, thus creating a public entity that traded as AQUM. The Company is a calendar year corporation.
From 2007 to 2010 AQUM tried unsuccessfully to commercialize its medical device business and our Board of Directors closed those operations and acquired Urban Agricultural Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“UAC”). UAC holds the exclusive rights under a license from TerraSphere, Inc. (“TerraSphere”) to use their patented farming technology in Massachusetts, and the right of first refusal to purchase exclusive licenses for New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California. Under the TerraSphere license the Company receives certain vertical farming intellectual property and know-how from TerraSphere. The license was purchased by UAC in May, 2010 for $1,000,000 with $250,000 paid at acquisition and payments totaling $750,000 due by May 1, 2011. Urban Ag was unable to make payments due under the TerraSphere License . TerraSphere extended the payment terms under the TerraSphere License through December 31, 2011. Effective March 31, 2012 (“Effective Date”) the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "UAC Agreement”) with Distressed Asset Acquisitions, Inc. (“DAAI”) to divest itself of all of its ownership of UAC. The UAC Agreement provides that DAAI will pay $100 and assume all liabilities as of the Effective Date for 100% of the stock in UAC.
Currently the Company is focused on a long-term strategy of pursuing the consolidation of the fragmented industry that provides outsourced services to General Contractors, Facility Managers/Owners, Architects and Engineers. This industry is focused on providing construction path services including pre-construction services, site selection and preparation, hazardous material abatement and environment remediation, electrical/data communication system integration, electrical cabling installation and design, restoration/remediation services and post occupancy services.
In pursuit of this strategy, on November 7, 2011 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), with CCS Environmental World Wide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCS World Wide,” “CCS,” or the “Seller”) and the shareholders of CCS (“Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Urban Ag acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of CCS. In exchange, the Company issued to the CCS Shareholders an aggregate of 7,900,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.0001 par value and five million warrants to purchase one share of common stock of the Company per Warrant. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $3.00 per share. The Warrants become exercisable once CCS achieves $50,000,000 in revenue in a single fiscal year. The shares purchased represented 78.8% of the outstanding common stock of the Company after the closing.
Pursuant to the Agreement, CCS became the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. This transaction was recorded as a reverse merger. The results of operations from CCS Worldwide are included for all periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
CCS Worldwide is a hazardous material abatement and environmental remediation company based in Brockton, Massachusetts. The Company, based in Danvers, Massachusetts, currently acts as a Holding Company that has as its one operating subsidiary CCS Worldwide. CCS Worldwide generates revenue within a single operating segment which provides hazardous material abatement and environment remediation services through its four wholly owned subsidiaries - Commonwealth Contracting Services LLC; CCS Special Projects LLC; CCS Environmental, Inc.; and CCS Environmental Services, Inc., all based in Brockton, Massachusetts. For the periods covered in this annual report, our revenues consist of sales in the single operating segment providing services for hazardous material abatement and environmental remediation.
F-4 |
CCS Worldwide has operated its current business since 2005 generating annual revenues of between $2 million and $12 million providing services including removal of interior finishes, surfaces and fixtures; as well as the removal and proper disposition of certain asbestos-containing and lead-painted building materials and certain other regulated materials. CCS Worldwide is awarded contracts from its customers generally through a bidding process whereby contracts are typically awarded on a qualified low bidder basis. Its revenue is comprised of both union and non-union contracts.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation. As a result of reverse merger accounting treatment, the Company’s financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 include the results of operations and financial position of CCS Worldwide. The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflect the consolidation of CCS Worldwide with the Company effective with the date of the Agreement.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. This assumption, that the Company continues to operate as a going concern, is presently in question and contingent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced substantial losses, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $5.0 million, a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $7.1 million and is in default on several financial obligations at September 30, 2012, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Additionally, the Company’s accounts receivable financing arrangement has been terminated by the lender and an alternative source of financing receivables has not been obtained. Also, as of October 5, 2012, the Company has delinquent payroll taxes and union benefits arising in 2012 of approximately $900,000 and $700,000 respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial statement presentation purposes, those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash or cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within management's expectations. The allowance method is used to account for uncollectible amounts. The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for contract adjustments was $564,972 at September 30, 2012 and $459,104 at December 31, 2011.
Revenue Recognition
For financial reporting, profits on construction contracts are recognized by the Company on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimate total construction costs for each contract. This method is used because contracts in process include all materials, direct labor and subcontractor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as depreciation, motor vehicles, payroll taxes, employee benefits, small tools, insurance, etc. Selling and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the Company’s estimates of costs and revenues will change.
F-5 |
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows: leasehold improvements—Lesser of term or useful life; machinery and equipment—5 to 15 years; furniture and fixtures—3 to 10 years; computer hardware and software 3 to 7 years. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the accounts and gains or losses are recognized in operations. The Company recorded $89,537 and $45,603 in depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company recorded $29,100 and $17,819 in depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Valuation of Intangibles and Other Long Lived Assets
The recoverability of long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, is reviewed when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based awards are accounted for according to the provisions of FASB ASC 718. Our primary type of share-based compensation consists of stock options. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model in valuing options. The inputs for the valuation analysis of the options include the market value of the Company's common stock, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock, the exercise price of the warrants and the risk free interest rate.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes ultimately payable or recoverable based on enacted tax laws. Allowances are recorded if recovery is uncertain.
Earnings per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as outstanding options are anti-dilutive. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of options to purchase common stock (only if those options are exercisable and at prices below the average share price for the period) and shares issuable upon the conversion of the Company's securities.
Impairment
Intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future pretax operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. Judgment is required to estimate future operating cash flows.

3. Events of Material Impact Subsequent to Year End
Summitbridge Settlement - On January 11, 2012, the Company executed a Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement with Summitbridge Credit Investments LLC (“Summitbridge”) in order to resolve certain outstanding loans owed by the recently acquired CCS Environmental Worldwide Inc. to Summitbridge, along with accrued interests and fees, in the amount of $2,018,339 (the “Summitbridge Settlement”). Pursuant to the Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the parties agreed to the following: (i) that Summitbridge sell, assign, convey and transfer to the Company, without recourse, representation or warranty all of Summitbridge’s interest in the loans; and (ii) the Company to pay Summitbridge the amount of $1,335,000.

As part of the agreement, the Company sold its right, title and interest in its accounts receivable, with full recourse. The initial value of accounts receivable purchased by Midland was $1,100,002. As of March 31, 2012, the total outstanding accounts receivable of the Company that has been purchased by Midland is $2,317,155. As stipulated in the Agreement, approximately 80% of the amount of accounts receivable purchased by Midland throughout the term of the Agreement is funded to the Company for operational use and working capital.

Change in Capitalization - Effective January 12, 2012, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company’s shareholders increased the Company's authority to issue all classes stock to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value (“Common Stock”) and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value (“Preferred Stock”). In addition, 10,000,000 shares of the authorized and un-issued Preferred Stock of the Company were designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” (“Series A Preferred”).

The10,000,000 shares of authorized Series A Preferred bear dividends at the rate of 12% of the Original Issue Price of $.005 per share, per annum, plus any previously issued and accrued dividends (compounded monthly) to be declared and paid monthly in cash. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred have voting rights equal to two times the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon conversion of the Series A Preferred. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible initially into shares of common stock on a one-to-one basis, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution of the conversion rights of the holders resulting from the issuance of shares of common stock or rights to acquire common stock. The holders of the Common Stock and the holders of Series A Preferred each voting as a class, are each entitled to elect two directors.
The Series A Preferred is subject to mandatory redemption by the Company upon the request of a majority of the holders of Series A Preferred, after January 10, 2015, for a Redemption Price payable in cash in three annual installments. The Redemption Price (as defined in the Certificate) shall be the greater of the original Issue Price ($.005) plus accrued but unpaid dividends and the fair market value of the shares.
The 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred held by the Magliochetti Trust had accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $5,100 at October 5, 2012.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Urban Ag. Corp. (the “registrant”, “Company,” “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Urban Ag”) is the successor entity to Aquamer, Inc. (“AQUM”), a Delaware corporation, which was established in February 2000 to commercialize proprietary medical devices. In 2005 Aquamer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bellacasa Productions, Inc. (“Bellacasa”) a publicly traded company, which in 2007 distributed 100% of its AQUM shares to its shareholders, thus creating a public entity that traded as AQUM. The Company is a calendar year corporation.
Business Overview
From 2007 to 2010 AQUM tried unsuccessfully to commercialize its medical device business and our Board of Directors closed those operations and acquired Urban Agricultural Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“UAC”). UAC holds the exclusive rights under a license from TerraSphere, Inc. (“TerraSphere”) to use their patented farming technology in Massachusetts, and the right of first refusal to purchase exclusive licenses for New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California. Under the TerraSphere license the Company receives certain vertical farming intellectual property and know-how from TerraSphere. The license was purchased by UAC in May, 2010 for $1,000,000 with $250,000 paid at acquisition and payments totaling $750,000 due by May 1, 2011. Urban Ag was unable to make payments due under the TerraSphere License . TerraSphere extended the payment terms under the TerraSphere License through December 31, 2011. Effective March 31, 2012 (“Effective Date”) the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "UAC Agreement”) with Distressed Asset Acquisitions, Inc. (“DAAI”) to divest itself of all of its ownership of UAC. The UAC Agreement provides that DAAI will pay $100 and assume all liabilities as of the Effective Date for 100% of the stock in UAC.
Currently the Company is focused on a long-term strategy of pursuing the consolidation of the fragmented industry that provides outsourced services to General Contractors, Facility Managers/Owners, Architects and Engineers. This industry is focused on providing construction path services including pre-construction services, site selection and preparation, hazardous material abatement and environment remediation, electrical/data communication system integration, electrical cabling installation and design, restoration/remediation services and post occupancy services.
In pursuit of this strategy, on November 7, 2011 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), with CCS Environmental World Wide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCS World Wide,” “CCS,” or the “Seller”) and the shareholders of CCS (“Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Urban Ag acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of CCS. In exchange, the Company issued to the CCS Shareholders an aggregate of 7,900,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.0001 par value and five million warrants to purchase one share of common stock of the Company per Warrant. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $3.00 per share. The Warrants become exercisable once CCS achieves $50,000,000 in revenue in a single fiscal year. The shares purchased represented 78.8% of the outstanding common stock of the Company after the closing.
Pursuant to the Agreement, CCS became the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. This transaction was recorded as a reverse merger. The results of operations from CCS Worldwide are included for all periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
CCS Worldwide is a hazardous material abatement and environmental remediation company based in Brockton, Massachusetts. The Company, based in Danvers, Massachusetts, currently acts as a Holding Company that has as its one operating subsidiary CCS Worldwide. CCS Worldwide generates revenue within a single operating segment which provides hazardous material abatement and environment remediation services through its four wholly owned subsidiaries - Commonwealth Contracting Services LLC; CCS Special Projects LLC; CCS Environmental, Inc.; and CCS Environmental Services, Inc., all based in Brockton, Massachusetts. For the periods covered in this annual report, our revenues consist of sales in the single operating segment providing services for hazardous material abatement and environmental remediation.
CCS Worldwide has operated its current business since 2005 generating annual revenues of between $2 million and $12 million providing services including removal of interior finishes, surfaces and fixtures; as well as the removal and proper disposition of certain asbestos-containing and lead-painted building materials and certain other regulated materials. CCS Worldwide is awarded contracts from its customers generally through a bidding process whereby contracts are typically awarded on a qualified low bidder basis. Its revenue is comprised of both union and non-union contracts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NET REVENUES - Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $102,765 or approximately 6% to $1,963,691 from $1,860,926 in the comparable period in 2011.
The $102,765 change in net revenues from 2012 over the comparable three month period in 2011 consisted of increased sales in our core asbestos business of approximately $248,000 and decreased sales in our other services of approximately $145,000.
COST OF SALES - Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $177,144 or approximately 11% to $1,729,210 from $1,552,096 in the comparable period in 2011.
The increase in cost of sales is correlative to the increase in sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 over the comparable period in 2011. Cost ratios for direct labor and union costs, direct materials, subcontractors, waste disposal, other trades, and other direct costs remained reasonably consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2012 over the comparable period in 2011.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE - General and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by approximately $486,000 or 76% to $156,802 from $642,568 in the comparable period in 2011.
The decrease in general and administrative costs consisted primarily of decreased costs of approximately $295,000 in indirect salaries and wages and approximately $117,000 in legal and professional advisory fees. The balance of the change was comprised of increases and decreases in various general and administrative costs netting to approximately $74,000.
DEPRECIATION - Depreciation increased for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $11,281 or approximately 63% to $29,100 from $17,819 in the comparable period in 2011.
The change is correlative to increased investment in property plant and equipment in 2012 over the comparable period in 2011.
INTEREST, NET OF INTEREST INCOME - Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $30,002 or approximately 70% to $12,661 from $42,663 in the comparable period in 2011.
The change in interest expense was attributed to various refinancing activities carrying different terms and rates in the 2012 period compared to the comparable period in 2011.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NET REVENUES - Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $123,251 or approximately 2% to $5,506,380 from $5,383,129 in the comparable period in 2011.
The $123,251 change in net revenues from 2012 over the comparable nine month period in 2011 consisted of increased sales in our core asbestos business of approximately $523,000 and decreased sales in our other services of approximately $400,000.
COST OF SALES - Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $1,419,581 or approximately 42% to $4,784,774 from $3,365,193 in the comparable period in 2011.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased to approximately 87% of sales from 62% of sales for the comparable nine month period in 2011. Our cost of sales percentages have historically fluctuated greatly depending on the composition of union and non-union work and on the cost of waste disposal charges. Union work generally has much tighter margins and is generally less profitable to the Company. In addition, the profit margins on fixed bid work can vary greatly and sometimes results in gross losses on those types of jobs compared to jobs that are comprised of, and are billed on, a cost plus basis.
Union cost overruns and charges for union labor represented the bulk of the adverse changes in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 over the comparable 2011 period. Labor costs increased from approximately 35% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to approximately 49% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Union benefit charges increased from approximately 14% of sales to approximately 26% of sale for the same periods.
Most of the adverse increased cost margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2012.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE - General and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by approximately $319,768 or 19% to $2,030,651 from $1,710,883 in the comparable period in 2011.
The increase in general and administrative costs consisted primarily of increased costs of approximately $129,000 in indirect salaries and wages and approximately $200,000 in legal and professional advisory fees. The balance of the change was comprised of increases and (decreases) in various general and administrative costs netting to approximately ($9,000).

DEPRECIATION - Depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $43,934 or approximately 96% to $89,537 from $45,603 in the comparable period in 2011.
The change is correlative to increased investment in property plant and equipment in 2012 over the comparable period in 2011.
INTEREST, NET OF INTEREST INCOME - Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $222,242 or approximately 55% to $181,252 from $403,494 in the comparable period in 2011.
The change in interest expense was attributed to various refinancing activities carrying different terms and rates in the 2012 period compared to the comparable period in 2011.
OTHER INCOME – Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $607,149. This other income of $607,149 related to a one time gain on the re-financing and discount recognized on the payoff of the Company’s line of credit. The other income of $10,600 for the comparable period in 2011 was principally comprised on gain from the disposition of certain property plant and equipment.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2012, we had unrestricted cash of less than $1,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $5.0 million. Our financial condition has been materially and adversely affected by certain negative actions taken by our accounts receivable factor.
Our ability to continue our business activities as a going concern including continuation of our existing business service lines and funding our strategic growth plans will depend upon, among other things, raising capital from third parties or receiving net cash flows from our existing business operations.
The Company plans to meet its financial obligations and commitments for the next 12 months by raising additional capital in the form of debt or equity instruments. In furtherance of that goal, the Company is currently engaged in ongoing discussions with potential investors, however presentations to and discussions with those potential investors in an attempt to provide important funds to the Company have been unsuccessful to date. We are uncertain whether we will be able to obtain any financing, or if we are able to obtain financing that it will be on commercially favorable terms. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on any terms. Without these funds, we will be unable to repay our outstanding debt and other current and long-term liabilities.
To the extent we are able, if we are able, to obtain additional financing, the proceeds will be applied to pay our current liabilities and for working capital purposes.
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, dilution of the interests of existing shareholders may occur. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on our operations. Regardless of whether our assets prove to be adequate to meet our operational needs, we may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which may also result in dilution to existing shareholders.
On January 9, 2012, the Company executed a Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement with Summitbridge Credit Investments LLC (“Summitbridge”) in order for Summitbridge to acquire certain outstanding loan obligations (the “Obligations”) owed by the recently acquired CCS Environmental Worldwide Inc. in the amount of $2,018,339, which includes the face amount of the underlying loans plus accrued interest and fees (the “Summitbridge Settlement”). Pursuant to the The Summitbridge Settlement,, the Company and Summitbridge agreed to the following: (i) that Summitbridge sell, assign, convey and transfer to the Company, without recourse, representation or warranty all of Summitbridge’s interest in the Obligations; and (ii) the Company to pay Summitbridge the amount of $1,335,000 in consideration thereof . A copy of the Summitbridge Settlement is included as Exhibit 10.15 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On January 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Secured Promissory Note and Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Peter S. Johnson, Esq. as Trustee of the Magliochetti Family 2009 Trust DTD 1/12/09 (the “Magliochetti Trust”) whereby the Company and the Magliochetti Trust agreed to the following: (i) the Magliochetti Trust agreed to lend to the Company $950,000 in cash, and (ii) for the Company to issue 10,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to a Certificate of Designation in form and substance acceptable to the Magliochetti Trust and to take all steps necessary and desirable to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock such that a sufficient number of such shares of common stock shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock

On March 9th, 2012, the Company, through its operating subsidiaries, CCS Environmental Worldwide Inc., a Delaware Corporation, CSS Environmental Services Inc., a Delaware Corporation, Commonwealth Contracting Services LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, and CCS Special Projects LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (individually each the “Seller”, or “Sellers”) entered into a Factoring & Security Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Midland American Capital (“Midland”). As part of the Factoring Agreement, each Seller sold its rights, title and interest in its accounts receivable, with full recourse. The initial value of accounts receivable purchased by Midland was $1,100,002. As of March 31, 2012, the total outstanding accounts receivable of the Company that have been purchased by Midland is $2,317,155. As stipulated in the Factoring Agreement, approximately 80% of the amount of accounts receivable purchased by Midland throughout the term of the Factoring Agreement is funded to each Seller by Midland for operational use and working capital. As of March 31, 2012, the Sellers had been funded a total of $1,672,291 and Midland has received a total of $236,419 in collections from the Sellers’ customers. The Factoring Agreement initial Term began on March 9, 2012 for a one year period and shall be automatically extended for successive one year terms unless each Seller shall provide written notice to Midland of Sellers’ shared intention to terminate whereupon the Factoring Agreement shall terminate on the effective date specified in such notice of termination (such effective date being the “Early Termination Date”). The termination date is the earlier of (i) the Early Termination Date, or (ii) the end of the last Term that was not followed by an extension or renewal under the Factoring Agreement. The Factoring Agreement contains warranties and covenants that must be complied with on a continuing basis. The Purchaser has asserted an event of default under the terms of the Factoring Agreement, as amended. The Company is in the process of an orderly winding down of its obligations under the Factoring Agreement. The Sellers’ obligations under the Factoring Agreement, as amended, have been guaranteed by the Company.
Effective March 31, 2012 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "UAC Agreement”) with Distressed Asset Acquisitions, Inc. (“DAAI”) to divest itself of all ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary, Urban Agricultural Corporation (“UAC”).

The loan matured on June 25, 2012. As of October 5, 2012 the Company has not repaid the Short Term Loan.
On July 15, 2012, the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with the Magliochetti Trust whereby the Magliochetti Trust lent $500,000 in cash to the Company at an interest rate of 10%. The Promissory Note Agreement is payable on or before December 31, 2012.
On July 13, 2012, the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with the Magliochetti Trust whereby the Magliochetti Trust lent $80,000 in cash to the Company at an interest rate of 12%. The Company is currently in default on the terms of the note, having failed to make required monthly interest payments beginning in August 2012, although the lender has not issued a notice and demand for payment to the Company.
Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the "Certifying Officer") conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “1934 Act”), the term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including the Certifying Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that all material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by our management on a timely basis in order to comply with our disclosure obligations under the 1934 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated there-under.
5 |
Based upon this evaluation the Certifying Officer has concluded that the following material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures existed as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report:
· | Lack of reliance upon independent financial reporting consultants for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material non-standard transactions. |
· | Lack of sufficient accounting staff which results in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal control. |
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements and the reliability of financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of March 31, 2012, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria. This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's 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 quarterly report. Further, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, we may from time to time be involved in various threatened or actual legal proceedings which the company will vigorously defend. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the outcome of such matters may result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition and/or results of operations of the Company. In the opinion of the management of AQUM, matters currently pending or threatened against the Company are not expected to result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or result of operations.
ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
Aside from those risks discussed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
If our attempts to secure additional financing are not successful, we will be required to cease or curtail our operations, or obtain funds on unfavorable terms. These factors create a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our available resources are not sufficient to fund our operations, without additional sources of financing we would not be able to continue our business, and we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. Consequently, in order to maintain our operations, which we have already curtailed substantially, we will need to access additional equity or debt capital. Securing financing is proving even more difficult than anticipated. These factors create a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In light of our negative stockholders’ equity, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all, to continue our operations and, to the extent available, to fund the development of our business. In any of such events, the continuation of our operations would be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease conducting business.
As noted above, Urban Ag is in the process of attempting to secure sufficient financing to continue operations. We have been working to obtain financing from outside investors for more than 6 months, but have not yet been successful. In the interim, short-term debt financing provided primarily by a corporate investor has secured all of the company’s assets, and is being utilized to support governance and compliance activities. Additionally, non-payment of professional and other service providers and reduced general spending have been instituted until such time as financing is secured, if ever. If we are unable to obtain financing, we will be required to further curtail our operations or cease conducting business. Given our current level of debt, we do not expect that our stockholders would receive any proceeds if we declare bankruptcy or seek to liquidate the Company.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies | |
Going Concern | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. This assumption, that the Company continues to operate as a going concern, is presently in question and contingent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced substantial losses, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $5.0 million, a stockholders deficit of approximately $7.1 million and is in default on several financial obligations at September 30, 2012, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Additionally, the Companys accounts receivable financing arrangement has been terminated by the lender and an alternative source of financing receivables has not been obtained. Also, as of October 5, 2012, the Company has delinquent payroll taxes and union benefits arising in 2012 of approximately $900,000 and $700,000 respectively. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For financial statement presentation purposes, those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash or cash equivalents. |
Accounts Receivable | The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within management's expectations. The allowance method is used to account for uncollectible amounts. The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for contract adjustments was $564,972 at September 30, 2012 and $459,104 at December 31, 2011. |
Revenue Recognition |
For financial reporting, profits on construction contracts are recognized by the Company on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimate total construction costs for each contract. This method is used because contracts in process include all materials, direct labor and subcontractor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as depreciation, motor vehicles, payroll taxes, employee benefits, small tools, insurance, etc. Selling and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the Companys estimates of costs and revenues will change. |
Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows: leasehold improvementsLesser of term or useful life; machinery and equipment5 to 15 years; furniture and fixtures3 to 10 years; computer hardware and software 3 to 7 years. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the accounts and gains or losses are recognized in operations. The Company recorded $89,537 and $45,603 in depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company recorded $29,100 and $17,819 in depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Valuation of Intangibles and Other Long Lived Assets |
The recoverability of long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, is reviewed when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations. |
Stock Based Compensation |
Stock based awards are accounted for according to the provisions of FASB ASC 718. Our primary type of share-based compensation consists of stock options. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model in valuing options. The inputs for the valuation analysis of the options include the market value of the Company's common stock, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock, the exercise price of the warrants and the risk free interest rate. |
Income Taxes |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes ultimately payable or recoverable based on enacted tax laws. Allowances are recorded if recovery is uncertain. |
Earnings per Common Share |
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as outstanding options are anti-dilutive. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of options to purchase common stock (only if those options are exercisable and at prices below the average share price for the period) and shares issuable upon the conversion of the Company's securities. |
Impairment |
Intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future pretax operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. Judgment is required to estimate future operating cash flows. |
