PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Corporate History
The Company was organized August 26, 2010 (Date of Inception) under
the laws of the State of Nevada, as JA Energy. The Company was incorporated as a subsidiary of Reshoot Production Company, a Nevada
corporation. In April of 2012 the Company removed the Shell Status. We do not consider ourselves to be a blank check company as
we do not have any intention to engage in a reverse merger with any entity in an unrelated industry.
JA Energy is working to develop a suite of
products with a view of finding global energy solutions. Management believes non-oil-producing, agricultural-based countries are
spending large amounts of their gross domestic product to pay for fossil fuel to power their economies, and ethanol from sugar
beets or sugar cane to provide the electricity to replace diesel generation. With the base load power augmented by the photovoltaic
and CSP products, countries will be able to provide some of their energy needs from within and lessen their imports.
JA Energy Business Plan
JA Energy will manufacture and sell Modular
Distillation Units (“MDU”) to individuals, nonprofit organizations and/or companies. The primary application for ethanol,
produced utilizing JA Energy’s MDU, will be as an oxygenator of motor vehicle fuel. Management is reviewing the viability
of managing farming co-ops and expects to reach a decision by Q2 2013. The Company also plans to establish a demonstration facility
as well as a training facility to train the purchasers of the MDUs.
As the MDU is tested and proven domestically,
it will open the door to renewable base load electricity, biodiesel (vegetable oil and ethanol mix
),
establishment
of greenhouse complexes,
and the creation of
international business opportunities. When the first unit is operational and placed in Alamo, Nevada, the Company will begin
building the second unit, which should be located in an economically-challenged section of the Las Vegas Valley. Units three and
four are earmarked to be located in Hawaii and San Francisco.
The focus on the foreign joint venture for
the first 200
Units will allow for the creation of manufacturing and time to establish a U.S. sales infrastructure. We plan
to create business parks in the inner cities and have the MDUs located there. It will be necessary to come to agreement with individual
cities and to do the necessary improvement to the sites. Utilizing the redevelopment programs for the blighted inner cities, the
Company should be able to achieve long-term leases on land for the business parks. The construction of the infrastructure will
require the
Company to acquire funding
and the cooperation of the building departments of each
city. Our first goal will be to establish a business park in the Las Vegas Valley, working with the cities of Las Vegas and North
Las Vegas. Sales in the U.S. will be assisted by a U.S. Department of Energy program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) and a U.S. immigration program referred to as EB-5. For the MDU to qualify for the USDA program, one of the Company’s
units must be in operation for 12 months. By doing the foreign joint ventures, time will pass that will allow the production from
the second half of 2013 to qualify. The EB-5 program will need to be drawn up and approved before it can be utilized.
The MDU was tested using molasses as the distillation
feedstock. The test was designed to demonstrate the efficiency of the MDU as a distillation unit for a variety of feedstocks. The
unit distills at a rate of 144 gallons per day or 1,000 gallons per week.
The estimated operating costs to produce one
gallon of ethanol includes the necessary energy and water inputs. The energy cost savings associated with the MDU is derived from
a design methodology that introduces distillate into the still area. This method of heating and the redirection of the waste heat
into heat exchangers reduces the energy costs, which increases the effectiveness of the distillation process.
The Business Outlook
Market and legislative
forces are steadily increasing the domestic demand for ethanol.
Under the Energy Independence and
Security Act (EISA) of 2007, the volume of renewable fuel required to be blended into transportation fuel increased from 9 billion
gallons in 2008 to 36 billion gallons by 2022.
The story is much the same in the international market. The European Union
requires 5% of all vehicle fuel to be renewable. Even in the face of this mandate some EU member nations currently have no ethanol
production capacity.
US operators can gain
an additional benefit with the production of table vegetables
when a hydroponic greenhouse is paired
up with a MDU and produce is grown close to the consumer.
The added freshness and food security (over one-half of table
vegetables are imported), not to mention the reduction of imports, gives rise to business opportunities in the most challenged
areas of our cities. Placing MDUs in inner cities will provide a new economic use for land and people, which would otherwise not
be utilized by society.
There is a vast and
untapped overseas market for base load electricity. Using sugar beets or sugar cane to produce ethanol, then using the ethanol
to generate electricity, gives remote communities energy self sufficiency. Placing an MDU and an MEG in an area lacking dependable
base load power provides 1 megawatt of electricity annually, enough to power 100 US homes.
The Ethanol Market
Ethanol is produced from starch or sugar-based
feed products such as corn, potatoes, wheat, and sorghum, and artichokes, and from agricultural waste products, which include sugar,
rice straw, cheese whey, beverage wastes, and forestry and paper wastes. Historically, corn has been the primary source because
of its relatively low cost, wide availability, and ability to produce large quantities of carbohydrates that can be converted into
glucose more easily than other products.
Ethanol has been utilized as a fuel additive
since the late 1970s when its value as a product extender for gasoline was discovered during the OPEC oil embargo crisis. In the
1980s, ethanol saw widespread use as an octane enhancer, replacing other environmentally harmful components in gasoline such as
lead and benzene. Ethanol's use as an oxygenate continued to increase with the passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,
which required the addition of oxygenators to gasoline in the nation's most polluted areas.
Ethanol contains approximately 35 percent oxygen
and, when combined with gasoline, it acts as an oxygenator that increases the percentage of oxygen in gasoline. As a result, the
gasoline burns cleaner and releases less carbon monoxide and other exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. Although not all scientists
agree about the existence or extent of environmental benefits associated with its use, ethanol is commonly viewed as a way to improve
the quality of automobile emissions.
The most common oxygenate competing with ethanol
is methyl tertiary butyl ether (“MTBE”), which is cheaper than ethanol. Since its introduction and widespread use as
an oxygenator, MTBE has been discovered in ground water, lakes and streams. Unlike ethanol, which is biodegradable, MTBE is petroleum-based.
While MTBE has not been classified as a carcinogen, it has been shown to cause cancer in animals and its continued use has raised
serious environmental concerns.
As a result, by the end of 2005, according
to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 states, including California, Illinois, and New York, had barred, or passed laws banning,
any more than trace levels of MTBE in their gasoline supplies, and legislation to ban MTBE was pending in four others. Due in part
to federal and state policies promoting cleaner air, the environmental concerns associated with MTBE, and federal and state tax
and production incentives, the ethanol industry has grown substantially in recent years. The Renewable Fuels Association estimates
that in 2011, approximately 13.9 billion gallons of ethanol were produced in the US.
Power from Sugar
With just 60 acres of either sugar beets or
sugar cane, the MDU is designed to produce 50,000 gallons of ethanol.
Sugar used to operate the
MDU will require processing. Therefore, a second 60 acres and MDU may be utilized to produce the fuel, to operate the farm equipment,
or to sell to provide the currency to purchase fossil fuel for the tractors (diesel in farming equipment is more effective than
ethanol). In the case of sugar cane, once it is dried and the juice is extracted, the fibrous residue of the plant is a source
of fuel to reduce the juice to syrup. The reduction of the cane or sugar beet juice to a 30-percent sugar solution is all that
is necessary to process it into ethanol.
This process would allow, even the remotest
of locations in the world to be able to generate electricity from this locally produced energy source. The wide-ranging effects
will include processing local resources for market, increasing health-related services, and improved water quality. The most important
benefit of MDU electricity generation is the ability to preserve food via refrigeration. This will be achieved in a cost-effective
manner that does not require the installation of transmission lines to bring in the power from long distances.
In the U.S., the same type of installation
can use blackstrap molasses to provide inexpensive local generation to supplement electricity from existing transmission lines
or placement on military installations to provide a safe and secure source of power independent of the electric grid.
Foreign Marketing Plan
Management plans to work with foreign investors
to establish joint ventures in up to 10 countries. The joint ventures will be funded by the partners in each country with International
Letters of Credit (ILC) and in-country financing once the units are in place and secured by future contracts for the production
of ethanol.
The in-country financing may be helped by international
alternative energy loan guarantee programs. Two programs are currently in place and it may be possible to get this guaranteed via
the Export-Import Bank of the United States. By using the ILC as collateral, the Company plans to establish a line of credit with
our bank to fund the manufacturing of the units for each country. Since this is a joint venture, we will not be earning a profit
on the first units manufactured. The Company will add to the direct cost of each unit, the overhead of the manufacturing and draw
down the ILC.
Once the units arrive in the joint venture
country and are operational, with project production for the first five years sold to users, long-term financing will be put in
place and the ILC paid. The Company will be responsible to oversee the operation of the joint venture (a 50-50 partnership) with
complete operational control. The goal is to place 20
units in each country to create adequate cash flow to support the
joint venture operation.
Domestic Marketing Plan
The focus of the project in the inner cities
will provide numerous benefits to each community that joins in the expansion of the MDU. In Southern Nevada, the impact will be
greatest in the short term, resulting in manufacturing jobs, jobs in the construction and operations of the greenhouse, ethanol,
transportation, and the creation of the Company infrastructure. As the expansion moves out of Southern Nevada, each community will
have jobs in the construction and operation of the greenhouses, ethanol and transportation.
Unique benefits will be gained by providing
a new customer for an existing local product. For example, Hawaii will be able to utilize their locally grown sugar cane to provide
the feedstock for the distillation process. The modular business model allows for the expansion of the crop in lockstep with the
placement of MDUs, and building the refinery may be done simultaneously with planting the crop for distillation of ethanol for
motor vehicle fuel. With the current cost of fuel in the $6 per gallon range, communities will benefit both economically and environmentally
from the locally produced fuel.
Sales and Marketing
We plan to establish in inner cities, and begin
this program in Nevada. Working with city redevelopment agencies and nonprofit organizations to establish MDUs in their community
jurisdictions will help create jobs.
Once these units are established, management
hopes other communities will see the value of participating. The ethanol produced can be sold to local fuel blenders or to municipalities
for use in fleets.
The marketing will be expanded to areas outside
the inner cities, such as Indian reservations where there is also a need for fresh produce and jobs. Beyond those areas, the Company
intends to market to individuals or business that want to operate one of the MDU sites.
Government Incentives
In addition to the federal renewable fuel standard,
the federal government and various state governments have created incentive programs to encourage ethanol production and to enable
ethanol-blended fuel to better compete in domestic fuel markets with MTBE-blended gasoline. The federal incentive programs direct
payments to eligible producers for increased ethanol production and federal income tax credits, which eligible producers may earn.
State incentive programs include production payments and income tax credits. However, these programs are not without controversy,
due in part to their cost, and we cannot assure you that they will continue to be available in the future.
As for our Company, we only plan to produce
ethanol at the demonstration site in Central Nevada. The licensing as a small producer will be done by those groups, individuals
or companies purchasing MDUs.
Ethanol Pricing
The price of ethanol tends to be volatile.
Historically, ethanol prices tended to correlate with wholesale gasoline prices, due largely to the primary use of ethanol as an
additive to gasoline. Over the last couple of years, however, as ethanol production expanded rapidly, ethanol prices have been
particularly volatile and ethanol and gasoline prices have at times diverged significantly.
JA Energy Funding Requirements
JA Energy needs funding to fully execute its business plan. JA Energy
will require at least $1,500,000 to acquire other business opportunities, market its services and build a client base.
Future funding could result in potentially dilutive issuances of
equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible
assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Any future
acquisitions of other businesses, technologies, services or product(s) might require the Company to obtain additional equity or
debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such financing, if available,
might be dilutive.
Competition
We expect to be in direct competition with
producers of ethanol and other alternative fuel additives. Many of these producers have significantly greater resources than we
do. We also expect the number of competitors to increase. The development of other ethanol plants, particularly those in close
proximity to our ethanol plant, will increase the supply of ethanol and may result in lower local ethanol prices. Ethanol plants
in close proximity will also compete with us for, among other things, resources and personnel. Because of their close proximity,
these competitors may also be more likely to sell to the same markets that we intend to target for our ethanol product.
We will be in direct competition with numerous
other ethanol plants. The MDUs can be located near the areas that grow the feedstock such as: sugar cane (Hawaii), yielding 889
gallons per acre; sugar cane (Louisiana), yielding 555 gallons per acre; sugar beet, yielding 412 gallons per acre; and corn, yielding
400 gallons per acre, according the USDA.
As of January 2011, according to the Renewable
Fuels Association, 204
U.S. ethanol plants had the capacity to produce approximately 13.5
billion gallons of ethanol
annually, with another 10
plants under construction or expansion that are expected to add approximately 522
million
more gallons of annual productive capacity. A majority of the ethanol production capacity is located in the Midwest, in the
corn-producing states of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota. The largest ethanol producers include Abengoa Bioenergy
Corp., Archer Daniels Midland Company, Aventine Renewable Energy, LLC, Cargill, Inc., Hawkeye Renewables, LLC, New Energy Corp.,
US BioEnergy Corp. and VeraSun Energy Corp.
We may also compete with ethanol that is produced
or processed in certain countries in Central America and the Caribbean region, Brazil and other countries. Ethanol produced in
the Caribbean basin and Central America may be imported into the U.S. at low tariff rates, or free of tariffs under the Caribbean
Basin Initiative and the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement. According to the Renewable Fuels
Association, Brazil produced approximately 4.5 billion gallons of ethanol in 2006. Although tariffs presently impede large imports
of Brazilian ethanol into the U.S., low production costs, other market factors or tariff reductions could make ethanol imports
from various countries a major competitive factor in the U.S.
Recent Event
Management continues to make progress in building its first working
model of the MDU. As of January 9, 2013: all the parts are in place and the tanks, insulation and pluming are done. The Programmed
Logic Control (“PLC”) system and all the valves are set to be tested in February, 2013 before installing them in the
MDU. The contract electrician is currently consulting with the valve manufacturer and the PLC programmer to verify his understanding
of the system. Once he is comfortable with the system, the MDU will be tested as assembled. Once tested, the all of the other components
will be moved into the MDU. Management hopes to have the testing and final installation completed before the end of February, 2013,
barring any unforeseen delays.
Alternative Fuel Additives
Alternative fuels, gasoline oxygenates and
ethanol production methods are continually under development by various ethanol and oil companies that have far greater resources
than we do. New products or methods of ethanol production developed by larger and
better-financed
competitors could provide competitive advantages over us and harm our business.
Need For Governmental Approval of Principle
Products or Services
For the establishment of an ethanol plant,
we will need to obtain and comply with various permitting requirements. There are three levels of permitting requirements: 10,000
gallons or less per year for own-use requires a simple application and compliance with local codes; more than 10,000 gallons but
less than 500,000 requires an application with a bond; and over 500,000 gallons requires an application with a bond. The bonding
process for JA Energy is expected to take six months with a bond of no more than $50,000. This is for the demonstration unit in
Central Nevada. The Company does not plan to operate any other units. The permitting requirement for the 10,000 gallons is a 30-day
process. The MDU must comply with all local building codes, which are subject to the individual municipalities. The demonstration
unit has already been conditionally approved by the municipality subject to an approved set of engineered drawings.
As a condition to granting necessary permits,
regulators could make demands, which could increase our costs of construction and operations and we could be forced to obtain additional
debt or equity capital. Environmental issues
such as
contamination and compliance with applicable
environmental standards could arise at any time during the construction and operation of the ethanol plant.
The ethanol plant will be subject to environmental
regulation by the state in which the plant is located and by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). For
example, our future ethanol facilities will be subject to environmental regulations of Nevada and the EPA. These regulations could
result in significant compliance costs and may change in the future. Although carbon dioxide emissions are not currently regulated,
some authorities support restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. If adopted, this could significantly impact our operating costs
because we may have to emit a significant amount of carbon dioxide into the air. Also, the state environmental agencies or the
EPA may seek to implement additional regulations or implement stricter interpretations of existing regulations. Recently, the EPA
cautioned ethanol producers that it is prepared to sue companies whose plants do not comply with applicable laws and regulations.
In a recent test of certain ethanol plants, the EPA expressed concerns over the discovery of certain "volatile organic compounds,"
some of which may be carcinogenic. Changes in environmental regulations or stricter interpretation of existing regulations may
require additional capital expenditures or increase our operating costs.
The ethanol plant could also be subject to
environmental nuisance or related claims by employees, property owners or residents near the ethanol plant arising from air or
water discharges. Individuals and entities may object to the air emissions from our ethanol plant. Ethanol production has been
known to produce an unpleasant odor, which could result in objections from surrounding residents and property owners. Environmental
and public nuisance claims, or tort claims based on emissions, or increased environmental compliance costs could significantly
increase our operating costs.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental
Regulations on the Business
Various
federal and state laws, regulations and programs have led to increased use of ethanol in fuel. These laws, regulations and programs
are constantly changing. Federal and state legislators and environmental regulators could adopt or modify laws, regulations or
programs that could adversely affect the use of ethanol. Certain states oppose the use of ethanol because they must ship ethanol
in from other corn-producing states, which could significantly increase their gasoline prices. Material changes in environmental
regulations regarding the use of MTBE, or the required oxygen content of automobile emissions, or the enforcement of such regulations
could decrease the need to use ethanol. Legislative trends, however, indicate a continued and increasing mandate for ethanol use
in motor fuels, including diesel. For example,
the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of
2007,
increased
the volume of renewable fuel required to be
blended into transportation fuel from 9 billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion gallons by 2022
.
Patent, Trademark, License and Franchise
Restrictions and Contractual Obligations and Concessions
James
Lusk, CEO of JA Energy, filed a patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, D.C., for the “
Ethanol
Distillation System and Apparatus.
” Subsequently, Mr. Lusk assigned
this patent application to JA Energy.
The
“
Ethanol Distillation System and Apparatus
,”
serial number 12/
565,111
application, was published by the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office on
March 24
, 2011. The Company elected
to abandon this patent application in favor of filing a new patent for the fully automated distillation system that is currently
under development. The fully automated unit is being assembled in Las Vegas and it is anticipated that the unit will be ready for
testing in February 2013.
Research and Development Activities and
Costs
The majority of JA Energy’s expenses
involved costs related to research and development, and improving the efficiencies of its MDU.
Compliance With Environmental Laws
We seek to comply with all applicable statutory
and administrative requirements concerning environmental quality. We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures for environmental
compliance and protection. Expenditures for compliance with environmental laws have not had, and are not expected to have, a material
effect on our capital expenditures, results of operation or competitive position.
Physical Plants
JA Energy currently operates an R&D facility
and a separate manufacturing facility, both in Las Vegas, NV. The manufacturing facility has a current capacity of 50 units annually.
Management has agreements in place that will allow for rapid expansion of manufacturing capacity as demand dictates. There are
no plans to expand the size of the R&D facility in the near term.
Employees
We have no employees at the present time. Our
officers and directors are responsible for all planning, developing and operational duties and will continue to do so throughout
the early stages of our growth. The Company has no intention at this time to add employees until it can become a profitable entity.
The Company from time to time may retain independent consultants in connection with its operations.
(i)
The Company's performance is dependent on the performance of its officers. In particular,
the Company's success depends on their ability to develop a business strategy which will be successful for the Company.
(ii)
The Company does not carry key person life insurance on any of its personnel. The loss of
the services of any of its executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on the business, results
of operations and financial condition of the Company. The Company's future success also depends on its ability to retain and attract
highly qualified technical and managerial personnel.
(iii)
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its key managerial and technical
personnel or that it will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future.
The inability to attract and retain the technical and managerial personnel necessary to support the growth of the Company's business,
due to, among other things, a large increase in the wages demanded by such personnel, could have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
All parties and individuals reviewing this
prospectus and considering us as an investment should be aware of the financial risk involved. When deciding whether to invest
or not, careful review of the risk factors set forth herein and consideration of forward-looking statements contained in this annual
report should be adhered to. Prospective investors should be aware of the difficulties encountered as we face all the risks including
competition, and the need for additional working capital. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects for growth would likely suffer. As a result, you could lose all or part of your
investment.
You should read the following risk factors carefully before purchasing
our common stock.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
1. SINCE WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY,
AND WE HAVE NOT GENERATED ANY REVENUES, THERE ARE NO ASSURANCES THAT OUR BUSINESS PLAN WILL EVER BE SUCCESSFUL.
Our company was incorporated on August 26,
2010 as a spin-off of Reshoot Production Company. The Company removed its Shell Status in April of 2012. We have realized $5,000
in revenue from the sale of Jerusalem Artichoke tubers. We have no solid operating history upon which an evaluation of our future
prospects can be made. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incur significant
expenses associated with the initial startup of our business. Further, there are no assurances that we will be successful in realizing
revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible
closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue
business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you purchase in this Distribution.
2. IF OUR BUSINESS PLAN IS NOT SUCCESSFUL,
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS AS A GOING CONCERN AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN US.
As discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements
included in this Annual Report, at August 31, 2012, we experienced a net loss from operations for the year ending August 31, 2012.
These factors raise substantial doubt that
we will be able to continue operations as a going concern, and our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding
this uncertainty in their report on our financial statements for the period inception (August 26, 2010) to August 31, 2012. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations and reducing operating
expenses. Our business plans may not be successful in addressing these issues. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders
may lose their entire investment in us.
3. WE EXPECT LOSSES IN THE NEAR FUTURE,
ALTHOUGH
WE did generate $5,000 in revenue from the sale of Jerusalem Artichoke tubers.
We have generated $5,000 in revenues to date,
we expect losses over the next eighteen to twenty-four months based on the expenses associated in executing our business plan.
We cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful in generating significant revenues in the future. We recognize that if we are
unable to generate significant revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations as a going concern. There is
no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with
no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.
4. WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY AS AN INDEPENDENT
PUBLIC COMPANY AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OPERATE PROFITABLY AS A STAND-ALONE COMPANY.
JA Energy does not have an operating history
as an independent public company. Following the Distribution, JA Energy will maintain its own credit and banking relationships
and perform its own financial and investor relations functions. JA Energy may not be able to successfully put in place the financial,
administrative and managerial structure necessary to operate as fully reporting independent public company, and the development
of such structure will require a significant amount of management's time and other resources.
5. OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE NO PRIOR
EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY.
Our executive officers have no experience in
operating a fully reporting company, and no experience converting artichokes to ethanol. Due to their lack of experience, our executive
officers may make wrong decisions and choices regarding the conversion of artichokes to ethanol on behalf of the Company. Consequently,
our Company may suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry. As a result we may have to suspend
or cease operations which will result in the loss of your investment.
6. OUR BUSINESS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
AND IF WE DO OBTAIN
ADDITIONAL FINANCING OUR THEN EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS
MAY SUFFER SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.
We may require additional capital to finance
our growth, purchase technologies and build our infrastructure. Our capital requirements may be influenced by many factors, including:
·
the demand for our products and services;
·
the timing and extent of our investment in new technology;
·
the level and timing of revenue;
·
the expenses of sales and marketing and new product development;
·
the cost of facilities to accommodate a growing workforce;
·
the extent to which competitors are successful in developing new
·
products and increasing their market shares; and
·
the costs involved in maintaining and enforcing intellectual property rights.
To the extent that our resources are insufficient
to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financing. However, additional funding,
if needed, may not be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Our inability to raise capital when needed could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance
of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our company by our current shareholders would be diluted.
7. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE SUFFICIENT CAPITAL
OR GENERATE ADEQUATE REVENUE TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS AND FUND OUR OPERATING EXPENSES.
Failure to raise adequate capital and generate
adequate sales revenues to meet our obligations and develop and sustain our operations could result in reducing or ceasing our
operations. Additionally, even if we do raise sufficient capital and generate revenues to support our operating expenses, there
can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop business to a level where it will generate profits
and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent
auditors currently included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements regarding concerns about our ability
to continue as a going concern.
8. JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES ARE NOT CONSIDERED
A COMMERCIAL PLANT; THEREFORE, WE SHALL BE UNABLE TO INSURE OUR CROP AND FACE RISK OF LOSS.
Since Jerusalem Artichokes are not considered
a commercial plant, we will most likely be unable to purchase insurance to protect us from risk of loss. For example, adverse weather
conditions would most likely adversely affect our crop yields and subsequently hurt our ethanol production. Therefore, since we
are unable to carry insurance we face risks related to poor crop yields that have the potential to hurt all aspects of our business
operations.
9. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT KEY EMPLOYEES,
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS.
Our success depends in part on our ability
to attract and retain competent personnel. We must hire qualified managers, engineers, accounting, human resources, operations
and other personnel. Competition for employees in the ethanol industry is intense. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
attract and maintain qualified personnel. If we are unable to hire and maintain productive and competent personnel, the amount
of ethanol we produce may decrease and we may not be able to efficiently operate our ethanol business. Competition for talent among
companies in the our industry is intense and we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to attract or retain the talent
necessary to support the growth of our business.
10. OUR SINGLE LARGEST SHAREHOLDER OWNS APPROXIMATELY
40% OF THE CONTROLLING INTEREST IN OUR VOTING STOCK AND INVESTORS WILL NOT HAVE ANY VOICE IN OUR MANAGEMENT, WHICH COULD RESULT
IN DECISIONS ADVERSE TO OUR GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS.
Our single largest shareholder, beneficially
have the right to vote approximately 40% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these shareholders will have the ability
to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:
a) election of our board of directors;
b) removal of any of our directors;
c) amendment of our Articles of Incorporation
or bylaws; and
d) adoption of measures that could delay or
prevent a change in control or
impede a merger, takeover
or other business combination involving us.
As a result of their ownership and positions,
these five individuals have the ability to influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors
and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, the future prospect of sales of significant amounts of shares
held by our director and executive officer could affect the market price of our common stock if the marketplace does not orderly
adjust to the increase in shares in the market and the value of your investment in the company may decrease. Management's stock
ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which
in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
11. THE USE AND DEMAND FOR ETHANOL IS DEPENDENT
ON VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS THAT COULD CHANGE AND CAUSE THE DEMAND FOR ETHANOL TO DECLINE.
There are various federal and state laws, regulations
and programs that have led to increased use of ethanol in fuel. These laws, regulations and programs are constantly changing. Federal
and state legislators and environmental regulators could adopt or modify laws, regulations or programs that could adversely affect
the use of ethanol. Certain states oppose the use of ethanol because they must ship ethanol in from other corn producing states,
which could significantly increase gasoline prices in the state. Material changes in environmental regulations regarding the use
of methyl tertiary butyl ethers or the required oxygen content of automobile emissions or the enforcement of such regulations could
decrease the need to use ethanol. For example, the recently enacted Energy Policy Act of 2005 eliminated the reformulated oxygenate
standards under the Clean Air Act. Future changes in the law may further postpone or waive requirements to use ethanol.
Other laws, regulations and programs provide
economic incentives to ethanol producers and users. The passage of pending federal or state energy legislation or any other revocation
or amendment of any one or more of these laws, regulations or programs could have a significant adverse effect on the ethanol industry
and our business. We cannot assure you that any of these laws, regulations or programs will continue in the future. Some of these
laws, regulations and programs will expire under their terms unless extended, such as the federal partial excise tax exemption
for gasoline blenders who use ethanol in their gasoline. Government support of the ethanol industry could change and Congress and
state legislatures could remove economic incentives that enable ethanol to compete with other fuel additives. The elimination or
reduction of government subsidies and tax incentives could cause the cost of ethanol-blended fuel to increase. The increased price
could cause consumers to avoid ethanol-blended fuel and cause the demand for ethanol to decline.
12. IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL INCUR INCREMENTAL
COSTS AS A RESULT OF OPERATING AS A PUBLIC COMPANY, AND OUR MANAGEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEVOTE SUBSTANTIAL TIME TO COMPLIANCE
INITIATIVES.
As a fully reporting company, we will incur
legal, accounting and other expenses.. Moreover, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), as well as
new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes
in corporate governance practices. Our management will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives.
Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more
time-consuming and costly. We expect to incur approximately $15,000 of incremental operating expenses in 2012-2013. The incremental
costs are estimates, and actual incremental expenses could be materially different from these estimates.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires, among
other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. We must
perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management and our
independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting,
as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm,
may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance
with Sarbanes-Oxley will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. Moreover,
if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered
public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material
weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other
regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON SHARES
13. WE MAY, IN THE FUTURE, ISSUE ADDITIONAL
COMMON SHARES, WHICH WOULD REDUCE INVESTORS' PERCENT OF OWNERSHIP AND MAY DILUTE OUR SHARE VALUE.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the
issuance of 70,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 preferred shares. The future issuance of common stock may result in
substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock
issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate
actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any
trading market for our common stock.
14. ALTHOUGH OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE
QUOTED ON A THE OTC-BB, THEY ARE PENNY STOCKS.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock
Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosures relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock
defined as a penny stock. SEC regulations generally define a penny stock to be an equity security that has a market or exercise
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ
and any equity security issued by an issuer that has net tangible assets of at least $100,000, if that issuer has been in continuous
operation for three years.
Unless an exception is available, the regulations
require delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market
and the associated risks. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise
exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the
nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly
account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations and
broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the
transaction and must be given in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require
that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written
determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to
the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market
for securities that become subject to the penny stock rules. Since our securities are highly likely to be subject to the penny
stock rules, should a public market ever develop, any market for our shares of common stock may not be liquid.
15.
Although
our stock is listed on the OTC-BB, a trading market has not developED, purchasers of our securities may have difficulty selling
their shares.
There is currently no active trading market
in our securities and there are no assurances that a market may develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. If no market is
ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares in our Company. In such a case, you may find
that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all.
16. BECAUSE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY ANY CASH
DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK, OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A RETURN ON THEIR SHARES UNLESS THEY SELL THEM.
We intend to retain any future earnings to
finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they
sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.
17. WE MAY ISSUE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK
IN THE FUTURE THAT MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS AS HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Our articles of incorporation authorize us
to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine
the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder
approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders
preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our
common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the
common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock
could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred
stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult,
which may not be in your interest as holders of common stock.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not Applicable.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company owns no real property. Our offices
are currently located at 7495 W. Azure Dr. Suite 110, Las Vegas, NV 89130. Our telephone number is (702) 515-4036. The office space
is a small area in the office warehouse. Management believes that its current facilities are adequate for its needs through the
next twelve months, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available to accommodate expansion of the
Company's operations on commercially reasonable terms, although there can be no assurance in this regard.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in
various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent
uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our
business.
We are not presently a party to any material
litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
No matters were submitted to the shareholder for the fiscal year
ending August 31, 2012.

(b) Holders of Common Stock
As of December 12, 2012, there were approximately seventy-five (75)
holders of record of our Common Stock.
(c) Dividends
In the future we intend to follow a policy
of retaining earnings, if any, to finance the growth of the business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. The declaration and payment of future dividends on the Common Stock will be the sole discretion of board of directors and
will depend on our profitability and financial condition, capital requirements, statutory and contractual restrictions, future
prospects and other factors deemed relevant.
(d) Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation
Plans
There are no outstanding grants or rights or
any equity compensation plan in place.
(e) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
The Company sold 100,000 shares in June of
2012 and 20,000 shares in August 2012 totaling 120,000 shares of stock during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2012. The shares
will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We believed that Section
4(2) was available because the offer and sale did not involve a public offering and there was not general solicitation or general
advertising involved in the offer or sale.
The investors who received the shares are
financially
sophisticated individuals. Before they received these unregistered securities, they were known to us and our management, through
pre-existing business relationships, as a long standing business associate. We did not engage in any form of general solicitation
or general advertising in connection with this transaction.
The investors were
provided access
to all material information, which they requested and all information necessary to verify such information and was afforded access
to our management in connection with this transaction.
The investors
acquired these securities
for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to us. They understood the ramifications of their
actions. The shares of common stock issued contained a legend restricting transferability absent registration or applicable exemption.

(f) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We did not repurchase any of our equity securities
during the years ended August 31, 2012 or August 31, 2011.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview of Current Operations
This section of this Annual Report includes
a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar
expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from our predictions. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including
the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed
to imply any conclusion that these results or trends will necessarily continue into the future.
Results of Operations for the year ended
August 31, 2012
Revenues
We earned $5,000 in revenues since our inception
through May 31, 2012. These revenues represent the sale of 5,000 pounds of Jerusalem Artichoke Seeds at $1.00 per pound. These
seeds came from a Jerusalem Artichoke planting that took place in Colorado last growing season. This sale represents the entire
crop available for sale, as the
balance of the crop was lost due to an early season heat wave.
Expenses
For the year ending August 31, 2012, we experienced
a net loss of $276,050 as compared to a net loss of $73,232 last year. The net loss for the year ending August 31, 2012 consisted
of general and administrative expenses of $236,356 and consulting fees of $40,967. Our auditor issued an opinion that our financial
condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Cash Flows
During the fiscal year ending August 31, 2012,
the Company used net cash of $((194,447) in operations, used net cash of $(82,066) in investing activities, that included the purchase
of MDU and a vehicle as a fixed asset and generated cash of $270,084 from financing activities.
Going Concern
The financial statements included with this
annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets business. As of August 31, 2012, the Company has recognized $5,000 in revenues and has accumulated
operating losses of approximately $352,107 since inception. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent
upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.
Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. Amounts raised will
be used to further development of the Company's products, to provide financing for marketing and promotion, to secure additional
property and equipment, and for other working capital purposes. While the Company is putting forth its best efforts to achieve
the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise
from this uncertainty.
Plan of Operation
Management does not believe that the Company
will be able to generate any significant profit during the coming year. Management believes that general and administrative costs
and well as building its infrastructure will most likely exceed any anticipated revenues for the coming year.
The Company's need for capital may change dramatically
if it can generate additional revenues from its operations. In the event the Company requires additional funds, the Company will
have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. There are no assurances additional capital will be available
to the Company on acceptable terms.
Summary of any product research and development
that we will perform for the term of our plan of operation.
JA Energy plans manufacture and sell the Modular
Distillation Units (MDU) which will convert blackstrap molasses into ethanol. The Modular Distillation Unit has been designed and
a prototype has being built. The Company needs to raise funding to purchase this unit. The Company does not anticipate performing
any additional significant product research and development under our current plan of operation. The prototype MDU is recorded
as an asset on the balance sheet,$59,944, at year end, approximately an additional $40,000 will be spend to complete the unit during
the first two quarters of fiscal year end August 31, 2013.
Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant
equipment
With the exception of Modular Distillation
Units, we do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at
this time.
Significant changes in the number of employees
As of May, 2012, we did not have any employees.
We are dependent upon our officers and directors for our future business development. As our operations expand we anticipate the
need to hire additional employees, consultants and professionals; however, the exact number is not quantifiable at this time.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2012 the Company has cash
and cash equivalents of $399, current assets of $72,487 and current liabilities of $154,895. As of August 31, 2012, the Company’s
total assets were $153,081 and total liabilities of $169,977. The Company is authorized to issue 70,000,000 shares of its $0.001
par value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock. As of August 31, 2012, the Company has 37,256,703
shares of common stock issued and outstanding. $99,000 of the long-term liabilities is a note payable to James Lusk the company’s
CEO. Subsequent to the fiscal year end the CEO has loaned the company an additional $101,176. The funds are repayable upon demand
and have a simple interest rate of 5%, with interest paid monthly.
The Company has limited financial resources
available, which has had an adverse impact on the Company's liquidity, activities and operations. These limitations have adversely
affected the Company's ability to obtain certain projects and pursue additional business. Without realization of additional capital,
it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. In order for the Company to remain a Going Concern it will
need to find additional capital. Additional working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private placements,
additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, directors or stockholders), or from other available funding sources
at market rates of interest, or a combination of these. The ability to raise necessary financing will depend on many factors, including
the nature and prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market conditions prevailing at the time financing
is sought. No assurances can be given that any necessary financing can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.
JA Energy Funding Requirements
JA Energy needs funding to fully execute its
business plan. JA Energy will require at least $1.5 million to acquire other business opportunities, market its services, and build
a client base.
Future funding could result in potentially
dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to
goodwill and other intangible assets. This could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition. Any future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies, services or products might require the Company
to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such
financing, if available, might be dilutive.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue from
product sales once all of the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: pervasive evidence that an agreement exists;
the services have been rendered; the fee is fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and collection of the
amount due is reasonable assured.
New Accounting Standards
Management has evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements
through August, 2012 and concluded that they will not have a material effect on the financial statements as of August 31, 2012.
Recent Pronouncements
The Company's management has evaluated all
the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe that any
of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
JA Energy, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of JA Energy, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2012 and
2011, and for the period from inception (August 26, 2010) through August 31, 2012. JA Energy, Inc.’s management is responsible
for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the 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 audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JA Energy, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of
August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
August 31, 2012 and 2011, and for the period from inception (August 26, 2010) through August 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company
has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2012
NOTE 1. General Organization and Business
The Company was organized August 26, 2010 (Date
of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as JA Energy. The Company was incorporated as a subsidiary of Reshoot Production
Company, a Nevada corporation. Reshoot Production Company was incorporated October 31, 2007, and, at the time of spin off was listed
on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Company is a Development Stage Company as defined by FASB ASC 915 "Development
Stage Entities". The Company plans to use a patented varietal Jerusalem Artichoke, whereby the syrup by-product from the artichoke
is converted and processed into ethanol.
NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The basis is United States generally accepted
accounting principles.
Earnings per Share
The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated
by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued
and outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss)
available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted
average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially
dilutive debt or equity.
The Company has not issued any options or warrants
or similar securities since inception.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on an accrual
basis as it invoices for services.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy
regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the period shown.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is the total
of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income
taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they
enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2012
Year-end
The Company has selected August 31 as its year-end.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based
upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of August 31, 2012. The respective carrying
value of certain on balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash
and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term
in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Advertising
Advertising is expensed when incurred. There
has been no advertising during the period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - Going concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared
using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has only recently commenced its planned principal
operations and it has generated limited revenues. In order to obtain the necessary capital, the Company is seeking equity and/or
debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely
for the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

and there will be an additional expenditure to complete the unit.
NOTE 7 - Inventory
The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories
and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their
estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analyses and assumptions
including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand, and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories
are recorded in cost of product sold. If the future demand for the Company’s products is less favorable than the Company’s
forecasts, then the value of the inventories may be required to be reduced, which could result in additional expense to the Company
and affect its results of operations.
During the year ended August 31, 2012, the
Company reclassified plantation cost as Inventory in accordance with ASC 330. As of August 31, 2012, raw material consisted of
direct material, direct labor and overhead costs incurred to grow the plant which will be used as a raw material to produce the
Company’s final ethanol product. Elements of cost include materials, labor and overhead and are classified as follows:

NOTE 9. Provision for Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under
FASB Accounting Standard Codification ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires use of the liability method. ASC 740
provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which
the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
As of August 31, 2012, the Company had net
operating loss carry forwards of $271,586 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2012. Future
tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization
is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating
to these tax loss carry-forwards. Net operation losses will begin to expire in 2030.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
as of August 31, 2012 was $68,435, as compared to $26,620 as of August 31, 2011. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax
assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods
in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets,
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was
more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011.
The provision for income taxes differs from
the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources
and tax effects of the differences are as follows:
U.S federal statutory rate (35.0%)
Valuation reserve
35.0%
Total -%
At August 31, 2012, we had an unused net operating
loss carryover approximating $271,586 that is available to offset future taxable income which expires beginning 2030.
NOTE 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company's management has evaluated all
the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe that any

NOTE 11. Subsequent Events

shares to an accredited investor for $10,000 which was previously recorded as Common stock payable as of August 31, 2012.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the SEC, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management, with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as
of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective because of the "material weaknesses" described below under "Management's report on internal control
over financial reporting," which are in the process of being remediated as described below under "Management Plan to
Remediate Material Weaknesses."
Management's Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules
promulgated under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer and affected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of our management and our Board of Directors; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system
of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves
human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control
over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk
that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However,
these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design into the process
safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Further, over time control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions
or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2012. In making its assessment, management used the criteria established
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
Based on its assessment, management has concluded that we had certain control deficiencies described below that constituted material
weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective as of August 31, 2012.
A "material weakness" is defined
under SEC rules as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls. As a result of management's review of the investigation issues
and results, and other internal reviews and evaluations that were completed after the end of quarter related to the preparation
of management's report on internal controls over financial reporting required for this annual report on Form 10-K, management concluded
that we had material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following:
1) lack of a functioning audit committee due
to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting
in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and
2) insufficient written policies and procedures
for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
We do not believe the material weaknesses described
above caused any meaningful or significant misreporting of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2011. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of
outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal
controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses
Management is pursuing the implementation of
corrective measures to address the material weaknesses described below. In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses
and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We will create a position to segregate duties
consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting
function when funds are available to us. We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be
appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment
and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management
when funds are available to us.
We believe the remediation measures described
above will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We
are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to diligently and vigorously review our
financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial
reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate
circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent
fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
This amended annual report does not include
an attestation report of the Corporation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only the management's report in this annual report.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires our executive officer and director, and persons who beneficially own
more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC.
Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations
from our executive officer and director, we believe that as of the date of this report they were not current in his 16(a) reports.
39
Board of Directors
Our board of directors currently consists of three members, Mr.
James Lusk, Mr. Steve Scott
and Mr. Sheldon Rockey. Our directors serve one-year terms.
Audit Committee
The company does not presently have an Audit Committee. No qualified
financial expert has been hired because the company is too small to afford such expense.
Committees and Procedures
(1) The registrant has no standing audit, nominating
and compensation committees of the
Board of Directors, or committees performing
similar functions. The Board acts itself
in lieu of committees due to its small size.
(2) The view of the board of directors is that
it is appropriate for the registrant not to have
such a committee because its directors participate
in the consideration of director
nominees and the board and the company are so
small.
(3) The members of the Board who acts as nominating
committee is not independent,
pursuant to the definition of independence of
a national securities exchange registered
pursuant to section 6(a) of the Act (15 U.S.C.
78f(a).
(4) The nominating committee has no policy with
regard to the consideration of any
director candidates recommended by security
holders, but the committee will consider
director candidates recommended by security
holders.
(5) The basis for the view of the board of directors
that it is appropriate for the registrant
not to have such a policy is that there is no
need to adopt a policy for a small company.
(6) The nominating committee will consider candidates
recommended by security holders,
and by security holders in submitting such recommendations.
(7) There are no specific, minimum qualifications
that the nominating committee believes
must be met by a nominee recommended by security
holders except to find anyone
willing to serve with a clean background.
(8) The nominating committee's process for identifying
and evaluation of nominees for
director, including nominees recommended by
security holders, is to find qualified
persons willing to serve with a clean backgrounds.
There are no differences in the
manner in which the nominating committee evaluates
nominees for director based on
whether the nominee is recommended by a security
holder, or found by the board.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics for the Board and any salaried
employees.
Limitation of Liability of Directors
Pursuant to the Nevada General Corporation Law, our Articles of
Incorporation exclude personal liability for our Directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties
as Directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction from which a Director receives an improper personal benefit.
This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a Director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any Director's
liability under federal or applicable state securities laws. We have agreed to indemnify our directors against expenses, judgments,
and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim against a Director if he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed
to be in our best interests.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Law and Charter and By-law Provisions
The anti-takeover provisions of Sections 78.411 through 78.445 of
the Nevada Corporation Law apply to JA Energy. Section 78.438 of the Nevada law prohibits the Company from merging with or selling
more than 5% of our assets or stock to any shareholder who owns or owned more than 10% of any stock or any entity related to a
10% shareholder for three years after the date on which the shareholder acquired the JA Energy shares, unless the transaction is
approved by JA Energy's Board of Directors. The provisions also prohibit the Company from completing any of the transactions described
in the preceding sentence with a 10% shareholder who has held the shares more than three years and its related entities unless
the transaction is approved by our Board of Directors or a majority of our shares, other than shares owned by that 10% shareholder
or any related entity. These provisions could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of JA Energy.

Director Compensation

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table presents information, to
the best of our knowledge, about the ownership of our common stock on December 12, 2012 relating to those persons known to beneficially
own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our named executive officer and sole director.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance
with the rules of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other
purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared
voting or investment power. It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days
after December 12, 2012 pursuant to options, warrants, conversion privileges or other right.
The percentage ownership of the outstanding
common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of JA Energy's common
stock.
We do not have any outstanding options, warrants
or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

We are not aware of any arrangements that may
result in "changes in control" as that term is defined by the provisions of Item 403(c) of Regulation S-B.
We believe that all persons named have full
voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated, unless otherwise noted in the table. Under the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she,
directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or
to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same
security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60
days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence.
Our Chief Executive Officer is also our primary shareholder. Our
Chief Executive Officer controls 14,910,600 shares of our common stock, or approximately 39.9% of our outstanding common stock.
The Company's Director has contributed office space for our use
for all periods presented. There is no charge to us for the space, and the director will not seek compensation for the use of this
space.
Our sole officer and director, James Lusk can be considered a promoter
of JA Energy in consideration of his participation and managing of the business of the company since its incorporation.
Except as otherwise indicated herein, there have been no related
party transactions since our inception, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404
and Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K.

of the Company's financial statements for such period included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and for the reviews of the quarterly
financial statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Audit Committee Policies and Procedures
We do not have an audit committee; therefore
our sole director pre-approves all services to be provided to us by our independent auditor. This process involves obtaining (i)
a written description of the proposed services, (ii) the confirmation of our Principal Accounting Officer that the services are
compatible with maintaining specific principles relating to independence, and (iii) confirmation from our securities counsel that
the services are not among those that our independent auditors have been prohibited from performing under SEC rules. Our directors
then makes a determination to approve or disapprove the engagement of De Joya Griffith, LLC for the proposed services. In the fiscal
year ending August 31, 2012, all fees paid to De Joya Griffith, LLC were unanimously pre-approved in accordance with this policy.
Less than 50 percent of hours expended on the
principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed
to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.
