The Company
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007, as Adtomize Inc. On June 29, 2010, we underwent a change of control. On September 8, 2010, we affected a split of our authorized capital and our issued and outstanding common shares on an 80 for 1 share basis. On March 3, 2011, we changed our name to Potash America, Inc . We maintain our business offices at 2234 North Federal Hwy, Suite 2002, Boca Raton, Florida, 33431 and our telephone number is (561) 427-9670.
Commencing with its organization the Company focused on the acquisition and development of exploration stage mineral properties, with emphasis on fertilizer and agri-business assets, including potash, montmorillonite, bentonite and gypsum. The Company sought to acquire known deposits whose economic value had changed with market pricing levels, and to develop these assets into agri-products. Changes in the agri-business market, together with the Company’s lack of sufficient to acquire mineral properties at attractive prices, caused the Company to withdraw from active involvement in the mineral properties business in 2013, though management has continued to investigate possible mineral properties opportunities.
The Company has restructured its business plan to emphasize identifying people and businesses in key market sectors in need of competent business guidance, which we have the background and ability to provide. Through a strategy of stimulation, reorganization, and, as appropriate, introduction of new products and services, we will strive to help entrepreneurial businesses reach their fullest potential. We will work with these businesses to assess their business models competitive environments financial condition, staffing, and need for capital. Concurrently with our consulting business, if we identify what we believe is an attractive business concept, product or service, we may, invest in people and businesses that fit our goals and philosophy, advancing ideas that are new, unique, creative, and, as appropriate, experimental.
Potash America (PTAM) is a consulting firm focused on serving the comprehensive needs of businesses in the full range of the business cycle. With a core staff of experienced professionals and a team approach to most consulting projects, PTAM offers a more balanced quality service than many of its competitors.
The Company
Potash America Inc is presently a team of two business consultants with the plan to add 4 more consultants to our team by the first quarter of 2022. Each consultant specializes in a particular discipline, including finance, sales and marketing, technology, management, operations, and human resources.
PTAM offers a list of services for business owners to choose from, depending on their particular business needs. This includes; business and marketing plan preparation, financial search and procurement, IT consulting services, management development, human resources advising, and etc.
PTAM will have a focus on start-up businesses, preferably in the earlier stages of operation. Small and mid-sized businesses make up a sizable majority of U.S. and international markets. PTAM prefers to establish a relationship with a younger operation and continue to nurture that relationship over the long term.
The Market
The business consulting industry is very fragmented. Several large multinational companies dominate the industry while many smaller (and often more specialized) firms occupy their market niches. Major management consulting companies, such as McKinsey, Bain, and Boston Consulting Group, have established their dominant position by providing services to the leading companies in various industries. Consulting practices of the major accounting firms (a.k.a. the Big Five) have established worldwide presence and sell their packaged services to companies of different sizes and industries. At the same time, numerous firms and individual business consultants prosper in the market niches that bigger players consider unprofitable to enter.
Start-up companies are the target market of this company. PTAM intends to stay on the pulse of new business activity across the country. Additionally, business contacts, referrals from among the group, and Internet marketing efforts will be made in pursuit of new clients. Start-up companies are attractive because owners often lack the broad range of knowledge and expertise required to launch a new business. There is a serious need in the marketplace, and certainly a significant demand for, these types of start-up consulting services.
Competitors in the forefront of the marketplace typically offer many of the services that PTAM has. These services include information-based consulting, integration and management services. Services are designed to increase clients' operations effectiveness through reduced cost, improved customer service, enhanced quality of current product lines and services, and a more rapid introduction of new products and services. Competitors also offer industry-specific expertise to objectively evaluate, select, develop, implement, and manage information systems, networks, and applications.
Keys to Success
PTAM's keys to success include:
| 1. | A group of professionals with a broad range of specialty areas that complement each other. |
| 2. | A high level of experience in these specialty areas. |
| 3. | A team approach on most consulting projects. |
| 4. | Many business contacts among the consultant group. |
Mission
Potash America Inc aims to offer comprehensive consulting services. PTAM will focus on providing personal and specialized services to meet each client's specific needs.
Market Analysis Summary
PTAM will have a focus on start-up businesses, preferably in the earlier stages of operation. Small and mid-sized businesses make up a sizable majority of U.S. and international markets. PTAM prefers to establish a relationship with a younger operation and continue to nurture that relationship for the long term. The following chart and table show PTAM's projected target markets and their growth for the first three years of this plan.
Market Segmentation
Start-Ups
Start-up companies often are in need of expert advice and planning in initiating a successful start-up. It is believed that a majority of start-ups actually seek out consulting assistance. Those that do typically are searching for a comprehensive area of services.
1-3 Year Old Companies
Young companies, between 1 and 3 years old are less likely to be searching for expert business consulting services. Typically, they have already secured financing and have developed a satisfactory level of security. However, these businesses are still in the beginnings of their overall cycle and in most cases need the broad expertise of a team of expert consultants.
3 + Year-Old Companies
Established companies make up the final segment, and is significantly smaller than the start-up segment. The established company segment typically has a need for a less comprehensive range of services. These entities are in need of specialized services in one or two disciplines, e.g., operational planning or human resources.

Competition and Buying Patterns
Competitors in the forefront of the marketplace typically offer information-based consulting, integration and management services. Services are designed to increase clients' operations effectiveness through reduced cost, improved customer service, enhanced quality of current product lines and services, and a more rapid introduction of new products and services. Competitors also offer industry-specific expertise to objectively evaluate, select, develop, implement, and manage information systems, networks, and applications.
Consulting services are becoming more focused on technology-based solutions to help clients improve cost management, quality, service, and research and development to obtain differentiation and competitive advantage. E-strategy services are being provided to business and IT executives with education, insights, and strategies to utilize the power of the Internet to improve their performance. E-strategy services include executive visioning, business strategy, planning for e-business initiatives, user design, and intellectual capital formation. IT strategy consulting services are focusing on the use of IT to support business goals, and to leverage the power of the Internet to transform the way products and services are distributed and retailed.
Strategic planning consulting services typically consist of strategic alignment (which includes IT strategic planning and governance, alignment of IT and process, and future focus and regulatory requirements), IT department operational excellence (which includes fiscal responsibility, infrastructure, IT department processes, data center operations, and IT human resources management), and IT value realization (which consists of performance measurement, business integration (people, process and technology), change management and application investment). Performance improvement services consist of process redesigning to reducing administrative costs, improving financial performance, engaging and retaining customers, and improving accountability and reporting.
Other commonly found services among competitors include long-term IT management expertise, as well as a wide range of management services including assessment/due diligence, program management, discrete outsourcing, and full IT outsourcing services.
Consulting firms PTAM is competing with include regional and specialty consulting firms, as well as the consulting groups of international accounting forms such as KPMG LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, Deloitte & Touche LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Andersen Consulting. In its management and IT consulting services, BSC competes with information system vendors such as HBO & Company, Inc., Integrated Systems Solution Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, Perot Systems Corporation, SAIC, CAP Gemini America, Inc., and Computer Sciences Corporation. In e-commerce-related services, PTAM competes with the traditional competitors, as well as newer, Internet product and service companies such as Razorfish, Scient, TriZetto, and Viant.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before making a decision to invest in our Shares. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition
There are doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is a development stage enterprise. The Company has had no revenues since inception. We have not generated any revenue since inception and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our business activities. For these reasons, our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
The Company will need additional working capital to continue or to be successful in any future business activities. Therefore, continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective. The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues and the proceeds of the Offering of Shares. The Company may raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not be able to obtain commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and could require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary, to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights. Please see “We have yet to achieve a profit and may not achieve a profit in the near future, if at all,” below, and “Financial Statements – Note 13-– Going Concern” for further information.
Our financials are not independently audited, which could result in errors and/or omissions in our financial statements if proper standards are not applied.
Although the Company is confident in its financial statements, we are not required to have our financials audited by an auditor certified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). Our accountant who prepares our financial statements does not have a third party reviewing the Company’s financial statements. Our accountant may not be up-to-date with all publications and releases published by the PCAOB regarding accounting standards and treatments. Accordingly, our unaudited financials may not properly reflect current PCAOB financial statement standards.
We have a limited operational history, making it difficult to accurately predict and forecast business operations.
As we have had limited business operations, are entering new businesses, and have yet to generate revenue, it is difficult for us to make accurate forecasts of our business operations. There is no guarantee that our services will be attractive to potential users, or that potential customers will utilize our services, or that any businesses in which we may initiate or in which we may otherwise invest will be financially successful.
We have yet to achieve a profit and may not achieve a profit in the near future, if at all.
We have not yet produced revenues nor a net profit and may not in the near future, if at all. While we expect that our business model will produce revenue, we cannot be certain that we will realize sufficient revenues to achieve profitability. Our ability to continue as a going concern will in all probability be dependent upon raising capital from this offering of Shares or other financing transactions, increasing revenue in our current and subsequent financial years, and keeping operating expenses below our revenue levels in order to achieve positive cash flows, none of which can be assured and none of which we have achieved since inception. See “ There are doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern,” above.
We will require capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We may require additional funds in addition to Offering proceeds to respond to business challenges, including the need to update our website, add personnel, develop a more mature operating infrastructure or create or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need continued equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our Common Stock. Any debt financing we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including investment in our clients’ businesses or other ventures. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business, to grow our business, and to respond to business challenges could be impaired, and our business may be substantially harmed.
We are highly dependent on the services of our key executive, the loss of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic direction. If we lose key management or significant personnel, cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other personnel or experience increases in our compensation costs, our business may materially suffer.
We are highly dependent on Matthew Markin, our sole officer and director. We anticipate hiring other employees as our business expands. The loss of Mr. Markin or others who may become officers, directors or employees of the Company would have an immediate adverse impact on the Company. Our future success will depend in significant part on the continued service of Mr. Markin and other management personnel who may join us, and on our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional key personnel. We do not carry “key-man” life insurance on Mr. Markin. We may experience intense competition for qualified personnel, should we need them, and may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business. Because of this competition, our compensation costs may increase significantly.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock and the Offering
Our Common Stock is thinly traded and its market price can be volatile.
The Common Stock has historically been sporadically traded on the OTC Pink Market, a widely-accepted electronic trading platform. Like most securities traded on the OTC Pink Market, the number of persons interested in trading in or Common Stock is at most times relatively limited. Further, because we are relatively unknown as a company and because our trading platform, the market price of our shares can vary significantly during any trading period Accordingly, on most business days of several days or trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer, which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that in the future we will be able to move our shares to an exchange.
The price at which you purchase our Shares may not be determined by any traditional valuation method and may not reflect their market value at the time of purchase or from time-to-time thereafter.
Our Shares are a speculative investment. We have a limited operating history, no income since inception, and the uncertainty of future market acceptance of our business. While the Company’s sole officer and director believes that the Shares are being offered at a fair price, the Company has not had an independent valuation of its value nor of the price at which the Shares are being offered. We cannot anticipate the future market price of our Common Stock, nor that the Shares can be resold at their Offering price.
The market price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected by several factors.
The market price of our Common Stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including, but not limited to:
| · | our ability to execute our business plan; |
| · | operating results below expectations; |
| · | our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof; |
| · | economic and other external factors; |
| · | period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and |
| · | whether an active trading market in our Common Stock develops and is maintained. |
In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies, particularly in 2020 as we experience the human and financial impact of the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Investors in this offering will experience immediate substantial dilution in net tangible book value.
The initial public offering price of our Shares in this Offering is considerably greater than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding Common Stock, which is nil. Accordingly, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution per Share from the initial public offering Share price. See “Dilution.”
We have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this Offering and may not use them effectively.
We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses to which we will put the net proceeds from this Offering. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate the net proceeds from this Offering. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this Offering in a manner that does not produce income.
Our Shares are offered on a “best efforts” basis.
We are offering Shares in the amount of up to $5,000,000, but may sell much less. This Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. As a result, we may not be able to raise enough funds to fully implement our business plan and our investors may lose their entire investment. Even if we raise the maximum amount we are seeking in this offering, we may need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if we cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons outside our control, such as another significant downturn in the economy, we may not survive.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment, if any, of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock, or that in any event our board of directors will cause the Company to pay dividends.
Our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares, would dilute your proportionate ownership and voting rights.
Our board may generally issue shares of Common Stock and options, or warrants to purchase Common Stock, without approval by our shareholders. We cannot give you any assurance that we will not issue additional shares of Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares under circumstances we may deem appropriate.
Our Common Stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their Shares.
Our Common Stock is presently a “penny stock” under SEC Rule 15g-9, which defines a penny stock as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule which sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
If our Common Stock remains a penny stock, the market for our stock will be somewhat limited and the market price of our shares may be adversely affected.
As an issuer of a “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us.
Federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws. This safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
Securities analysts are unlikely to report on our Common Stock or may issue negative reports that adversely affect the stock price.
At this time, no securities analysts provide research coverage of our Common Stock, and securities analysts may not elect to provide such coverage in the future. It may remain difficult for our Company, with its small market capitalization, to attract independent financial analysts that will cover our Common Stock. If securities analysts do not cover our Common Stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect the stock’s actual and potential market price. The trading market for our Common Stock may be affected in part by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts elect to cover our company and then downgrade the stock, the stock price would likely decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company, we could lose visibility in the market, which, in turn, could cause our stock price to decline. This could have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
Ownership of a controlling interest in our Company by our sole officer and director will in all probability adversely affect the ability of purchasers of Shares to elect directors or significantly affect its policies, and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Our sole officer and director is also our majority shareholder. Even if a substantial number of Shares are sold, Mr. Markin may continue to control the Company. Consequently, it is unlikely that persons acquiring Shares in this Offering will be able to affect a change in our business or management. Further, sales of our Common Stock by our controlling shareholder in trading markets could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Risks Relating to Our Company and Industry
Our business plan is speculative.
Our planned business is speculative and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. We have not heretofore offered our services as a consultant to entrepreneurial individuals or companies, nor have we invested, as we may, in any businesses controlled by others or which we may form. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract clients for our services or that, if we do, we will be able to generate sufficient revenues from consulting services to operate at a profit. Further, our business model assumes, in part, that we will be able to find clients in which we determine the Company should invest. Any such investment would certainly pose substantial risks to our capital. Neither our Company nor our founder and sole officer and director has a history of investment in entrepreneurial or start-up businesses for which our founder or the Company has first done business as a service provider, nor has our Company yet developed criteria or policies to be used in evaluating investment in any client business.
We may not be able to successfully compete against companies with substantially greater resources.
Our business model assumes that we will develop and possibly invest in entrepreneurial and start-up businesses that need the guidance which we can provide. The business in which we operate is subject to intense competition. Many of our competitors have greater capital resources and experienced personnel than we have, which may enable them to compete more effectively in this market. Our competitors may devote their resources to developing and marketing themselves to our target customer base. Due to this competition, there is no assurance that we will not encounter difficulties in obtaining revenues and market share or in the positioning of our services. If we are unable to successfully compete with existing companies and new entrants to our core client market, we may not be able to operate at a profit. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and generating income from clients or from any business opportunities in which we may invest.
COVID-19 effects on the economy may negatively affect our Company business.
In December 2019 COVID-19 emerged and has spread worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and continues to rapidly evolve, the economy of the United States, may be negatively affected for a sustained time. We cannot now reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
We may be unable to manage growth, which may impact our potential profitability.
Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:
| · | establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives |
| · | maintain a system of management controls; and |
| · | attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train, and manage management level and other employees. |
If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.
Our lack of adequate directors and officers liability insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers.
In the future we may be subject to litigation, including potential class action and stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. We have not obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance and will in all probability not be able to do so without the sale of a substantial number of Shares in this Offering. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action based on their service to the Company would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, our lack of adequate D&O insurance will make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our stock price and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company plans to use the proceeds from this Offering to grow its business, research and development, website development, marketing, operating capital, hiring staff, and investments in our core businesses.
The following Use of Proceeds is based on estimates made by management. All costs associated with the offering have been prepaid by the Company and will not come from the proceeds of the offering. Management prepared the milestones based on three levels of Offering raise success: 25% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($1,250,000), 50% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($2,500,000), 75% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($3,750,000) and the Maximum Offering proceeds raised of $5,000,000 through the Offering. The costs associated with operating as a public company are included in all our budgeted scenarios and management is responsible for the preparation of the required documents to keep the costs to a minimum.
The table below represents our estimate of how we will allocate the monies raised from this offering, assuming a price of $0.005 per Share, and depending on the amount of funds we are able to successfully raise. The amounts below could change based on market conditions or other factors, such as demand for our products. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this Offering as follows:
| If 25% Is Raised | If 50% is Raised | If 75% is Raised | If 100% is Raised |
Net Proceeds | $ 1,2500,000 | $ 2,500,000 | $ 3,750,000 | $ 5,000,000 |
Wages | $ 260,000 | $ 260,000 | $ 380,000 | $ 380,000 |
Software & Computers | $ 1,500 | $ 3,000 | $ 4,500 | $ 12,500 |
Tools and Equipment | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
Parts | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
Custom Gear | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
Property Acquisition | $ 500,000 | $ 1,400,000 | $ 2,300,000 | $ 3,000,000 |
Convertible Debt Repayment | $ 400,000 | $ 500,000 | $ 500,000 | $ 400,000 |
Administrative, accounting and Legal | $ 15,000 | $ 25,000 | $ 65,500 | $ 95,700 |
Sales and Marketing | $ 15,000 | $ 30,000 | $ 90,000 | $ 240,000 |
Working Capital | $ 15,000 | $ 282,000 | $ 410,000 | $ 871,800 |
TOTAL | $ 1,250,000 | $ 2,500,000 | $ 3,750,000 | $ 5,000,000 |
The foregoing represents our best estimate of the allocation of the proceeds of this Offering based on planned use of funds for our operations and current objectives.
Under Net Proceeds, we have based our calculations and division of funds on the anticipated needs of the Company. However, our marketplace is constantly changing. Management may, depending on circumstances, be required to divert funds from one source to another as the business demands.
Pending use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we may invest in short- and intermediate-term interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
BUSINESS
The Company
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007, as Adtomize Inc. On June 29, 2010, we underwent a change of control. On September 8, 2010, we affected a split of our authorized capital and our issued and outstanding common shares on an 80 for 1 share basis. On March 3, 2011, we changed our name to Potash America, Inc. We maintain an office at 2234 North Federal Highway, Suite 2002, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 and our telephone number is (561) 427-9670.
Commencing with its organization, the Company focused on the acquisition and development of exploration stage mineral properties, with emphasis on fertilizer and agri-business assets, including potash, montmorillonite, bentonite and gypsum. The Company sought to acquire known deposits whose economic value had changed with market pricing levels, and to develop these assets into agri-products. Changes in the agri-business market, together with the Company’s lack of sufficient to acquire mineral properties at attractive prices, caused the Company to withdraw from active involvement in the mineral properties business in 2013, though management continues to investigate possible mineral properties opportunities.
Our Business Focus
The Company has restructured its business plan to emphasize identifying people and businesses in key market sectors in need of competent business guidance, which we have the background and ability to provide. We will work with these businesses to assess their business model, competitive environment, financial condition, staffing, and need for capital. Through a strategy of stimulation, reorganization, and, as appropriate, introduction of suggestions and implementation strategies for new products and services, we will strive to help entrepreneurial businesses reach their fullest potential. Concurrently with our consulting business, if we identify what we believe is an attractive business concept, product or service, we may invest in people and businesses that fit our goals and philosophy, advancing ideas that we believe are new, unique, creative, and meet other criteria that we find promising.
Introduction
Potash America (PTAM) is a consulting firm focused on serving the comprehensive needs of businesses in the full range of the business cycle. With a core staff of experienced professionals and a team approach to most consulting projects, PTAM offers a more balanced quality service than many of its competitors.
The Company
Potash America Inc is presently a team of two business consultants with the plan to add 4 more consultants to our team by the first quarter of 2022. Each consultant specializes in a particular discipline, including finance, sales and marketing, technology, management, operations, and human resources.
PTAM offers a list of services for business owners to choose from, depending on their particular business needs. This includes; business and marketing plan preparation, financial search and procurement, IT consulting services, management development, human resources advising, and etc.
PTAM will have a focus on start-up businesses, preferably in the earlier stages of operation. Small and mid-sized businesses make up a sizable majority of U.S. and international markets. PTAM prefers to establish a relationship with a younger operation and continue to nurture that relationship over the long term.
The Market
The business consulting industry is very fragmented. Several large multinational companies dominate the industry while many smaller (and often more specialized) firms occupy their market niches. Major management consulting companies, such as McKinsey, Bain, and Boston Consulting Group, have established their dominant position by providing services to the leading companies in various industries. Consulting practices of the major accounting firms (a.k.a. the Big Five) have established worldwide presence and sell their packaged services to companies of different sizes and industries. At the same time, numerous firms and individual business consultants prosper in the market niches that bigger players consider unprofitable to enter.
Start-up companies are the target market of this company. PTAM intends to stay on the pulse of new business activity across the country. Additionally, business contacts, referrals from among the group, and Internet marketing efforts will be made in pursuit of new clients. Start-up companies are attractive because owners often lack the broad range of knowledge and expertise required to launch a new business. There is a serious need in the marketplace, and certainly a significant demand for, these types of start-up consulting services.
Competitors in the forefront of the marketplace typically offer many of the services that PTAM has. These services include information-based consulting, integration and management services. Services are designed to increase clients' operations effectiveness through reduced cost, improved customer service, enhanced quality of current product lines and services, and a more rapid introduction of new products and services. Competitors also offer industry-specific expertise to objectively evaluate, select, develop, implement, and manage information systems, networks, and applications.
Keys to Success
PTAM's keys to success include:
| 1. | A group of professionals with a broad range of specialty areas that complement each other. |
| 2. | A high level of experience in these specialty areas. |
| 3. | A team approach on most consulting projects. |
| 4. | Many business contacts among the consultant group. |
Mission
Potash America Inc aims to offer comprehensive consulting services. PTAM will focus on providing personal and specialized services to meet each client's specific needs.
Market Analysis Summary
PTAM will have a focus on start-up businesses, preferably in the earlier stages of operation. Small and mid-sized businesses make up a sizable majority of U.S. and international markets. PTAM prefers to establish a relationship with a younger operation and continue to nurture that relationship for the long term. The following chart and table show PTAM's projected target markets and their growth for the first three years of this plan.
Market Segmentation
Start-Ups
Start-up companies often are in need of expert advice and planning in initiating a successful start-up. It is believed that a majority of start-ups actually seek out consulting assistance. Those that do typically are searching for a comprehensive area of services.
1-3 Year Old Companies
Young companies, between 1 and 3 years old are less likely to be searching for expert business consulting services. Typically, they have already secured financing and have developed a satisfactory level of security. However, these businesses are still in the beginnings of their overall cycle and in most cases need the broad expertise of a team of expert consultants.
3 + Year-Old Companies
Established companies make up the final segment, and is significantly smaller than the start-up segment. The established company segment typically has a need for a less comprehensive range of services. These entities are in need of specialized services in one or two disciplines, e.g., operational planning or human resources.

General Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007 as Adtomize Inc. On June 29, 2010, we underwent a change of control. On September 8, 2010, we affected a split of our authorized capital and our issued and outstanding common shares on an 80 for 1 basis. On March 3, 2011, we changed our name to Potash America, Inc., and began looking for opportunities to acquire exploration stage mineral properties. We maintain our business offices at 200 South Virginia Street, 8th Floor, Reno, Nevada, 89501 and our telephone number is (775) 398-3019.
Before we went through a change of control and business focus, we engaged in the business of developing an online advertising brokerage service to bring together high traffic web site publishers with companies wishing to place ads on them in order to drive traffic to their own internet sites. Since our inception, we had been attempting to raise money to operate our business, but have not been able to secure the funds necessary to do so. The lack of funds and the present economy have prevented that from happening. As we have been unable to raise the capital necessary to develop and market our service, we began a search for other business opportunities which may benefit our shareholders and allow us to raise capital and operate.
Current Business
We Potash America, Inc. (“the Company” or “PTAM”), was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007. We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007, as Adtomize Inc.

Credit Facility Agreements
On March 15, 2011, we entered into a credit facility agreement. The lender agreed to provide us with a line of credit in the amount of up to $200,000 wherein, within three business days after receipt of notice from us, the lender would advance amounts requested to our company. On June 22, 2011, the credit facility agreement was amended to increase the size of the line of credit to a total of $1,000,000. We shall use the advances to fund working capital and general corporate activities. Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility agreement, our company shall pay any outstanding amounts to the lender on demand. We may also repay the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. During the year ended March 31, 2013, control of the Company was acquired by the person who also controls the company that has issued this line of credit.
On November 22, 2011, we entered into a second credit facility agreement in which the lender agreed to provide our company with a line of credit in the amount of up to $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility agreement, our company shall pay any outstanding amounts to the lender on demand. Our company may also repay the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
On April 12, 2012, we entered into a $1,000,000 letter of credit agreement dated March 27, 2012. Pursuant to the terms outlined in the letter of credit, at any time our company may require any and all funds outstanding under the letter of credit, except for accrued interest which is to be paid in cash, to be converted into units of our company at a price of $0.80 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $1.50 US for a period of five years. Our company will pay annual interest of 5% until the loan is repaid or converted into units. Our company will issue 1,250,000 units when the exercise provision is enacted.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Employees
We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 3 month period (although we may enter into employment or consulting agreements with our officers or directors). We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.
Results of Operations
The following unaudited summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
We have not generated any revenue since inception and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our business activities. For these reasons, our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2021, our total current assets were $158, and our total liabilities were 2,506,703 and we had a working capital deficit of $2,506,545. Our unaudited financial statements report a net loss of $329,170 for the year ended March 31, 2021 compared to a net loss of $224,134 for the same period in 2020 and a net loss of $4,400,246 for the period from July 31, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 2021.
We estimate that our cash expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $60,000 as described in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.

Future Financings
We will require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, as discussed above, including approximately $60,000 over the next 12 months to pay for our ongoing expenses. These expenses include legal, accounting and audit fees as well as general and administrative expenses. These cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to continue operations and to repay our liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our liabilities.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.
Going Concern
We have generated only nominal revenues and are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to carry out our operations and pursue our business development activities. If we are unable to generate future cash flows, raise equity or secure alternative financing, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business plan may fail. You may lose your entire investment.
If our operations and cash flow improve, our management believes that we can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or an improvement in our liquidity situation. The threat of our ability to continue as a going concern will cease to exist only when our revenues have reached a level able to sustain our business operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing our company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing our company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2021.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, our company enacted an 80 to 1 forward stock split. All share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect such stock split.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. On April 21, 2011, our company instituted a Stock Option Plan which allows for the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to our company’s management, employees, and consultants. As of March 31, 2021, there were no stock options issued.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our Common Shares. We intend to retain earnings for use in our operations and to finance our business. Any change in our dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, debt service and capital requirements, restrictions in financing agreements, if any, business conditions, legal restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
DILUTION
The term 'dilution' refers to the reduction (as a percentage of the aggregate Shares outstanding) that occurs for any given share of stock when additional Shares are issued. If all of the Shares in this offering are fully subscribed and sold, the Shares offered herein will constitute approximately 74.5% of the total Shares of stock of the Company. The Company anticipates that subsequent to this offering the Company may require additional capital and such capital may take the form of Common Stock, other stock or securities or debt convertible into stock. Such future fund raising will further dilute the percentage ownership of the Shares sold herein in the Company.
If you invest in our Common Stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of our Common Stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering.
The following table illustrates this per Share dilution:

Limitations on Directors’ Liability
As permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify any person made a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of our company, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interest and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
We must indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent who is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the proceeding, to which they are a party because they are or were a director, officer employee or agent, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense.
We may provide to pay the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as the expenses are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that they are not entitled to be indemnified by us.
The Nevada Revised Statutes also permit a corporation to purchase and maintain liability insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was:
| · | a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation; or |
| · | is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. |
Such coverage may be for any liability asserted against them and liability and expenses incurred by them in their capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify them against such liability and expenses.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is therefore unenforceable

POTASH AMERICA, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
UNAUDITED
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Potash America, Inc. (“the Company” or “PTAM”), was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007. We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007, as Adtomize Inc. On June 29, 2010, we underwent a change of control. On September 8, 2010, we affected a split of our authorized capital and our issued and outstanding common shares on an 80 for 1 share basis. On March 3, 2011, we changed our name to Potash America, Inc. We maintain an office at 2234 North Federal Highway, Suite 2002, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 and our telephone number is (561) 427-9670.
Commencing with its organization, the Company focused on the acquisition and development of exploration stage mineral properties, with emphasis on fertilizer and agri-business assets, including potash, montmorillonite, bentonite and gypsum. The Company sought to acquire known deposits whose economic value had changed with market pricing levels, and to develop these assets into agri-products. Changes in the agri-business market, together with the Company’s lack of sufficient to acquire mineral properties at attractive prices, caused the Company to withdraw from active involvement in the mineral properties business in 2013.
Our Business Focus
At Potash America we offer an unparalleled consultant partnership through our diverse portfolio of clients by identifying people and businesses in key sectors in need of guidance. Through stimulation, reorganization, or introduction of new products and services, we help entrepreneurs reach their fullest potential. When a product or service has an appealing concept, we are willing to take risks and support people and businesses that fit our goals and philosophy, advancing ideas that are new, unique, creative, and experimental.
We believe that socioeconomic and environmental improvements can be made in all sectors of the world. That’s why our consulting vision isn’t only to explore sectors such as renewable energy or health and wellness, but to continually help the businesses become greener while improving profits. By partnering with these companies, we can help our partners reach their financial goals while also doing good for their communities and the planet.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a March 31 fiscal year end.
Financial Instrument
The Company's financial instrument consists of cash, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred compensation, accrued interest, convertible line of credit, note payable, and a line of credit due to a related party.
It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its other financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values except where separately disclosed.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
PTAM considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $1,118 cash, whereas, on September 30, 2020, the Company had $158 cash.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered, or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. As of September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, the Company expensed $0 in marketing and website development and maintenance of its site.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. As of September 30, 2021, there were no stock options outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
PTAM does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.
NOTE 3 – ACCRUED EXPENSES

NOTE 5 – LINE OF CREDIT – RELATED PARTY
The Company opened a line of credit during the year ended March 31, 2011 in the amount of $200,000. The line of credit is secured by the assets of the company, bears 5% interest and is due on demand.
On June 22, 2011, the Company’s credit line was increased from $200,000 to $1,000,000 under the same terms. The line of credit was drawn to $528,227 as of September 30, 2021. Interest expense related to the line of credit was $302,073 as of September 30, 2021 and has not been paid. During the year ended March 31, 2013, control of the Company was acquired by Mr. Markin who also controls the company that has issued this line of credit.
NOTE 6 – LINE OF CREDIT
On November 22, 2011, the Company entered into a second Credit Facility Agreement in which the lender agreed to provide the Company with a line of credit in the amount of up to $500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility Agreement, the Company shall pay any outstanding amounts to the lender on demand. The Company may also repay the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty.
Amounts outstanding shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The line of credit was drawn to $400,000 as of March 31, 2012.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE LINE OF CREDIT
On April 12, 2012, the Company entered into a $1,000,000 Letter of Credit Agreement with Themis Partners dated April 12, 2012. Pursuant to the terms outlined in the Letter of Credit, at any time the Company may require any and all funds outstanding under the Letter of Credit, except for accrued interest, which is to be paid in cash, to be converted into units of the Company at a price of $0.80 per unit (the “Unit”). Each Unit consists of one
(1) share of common stock and one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock at $1.50 for a period of five (5) years. The Company will pay annual interest of 5% until the loan is repaid or converted into Units. The Company will issue up to 1,250,000 Units when the exercise provision is enacted. The Company determined the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature on each draw date by valuing the warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and then allocating the $0.80 conversion price of each unit between the stock and warrants. The warrants were valued using the following assumptions on each draw date: stock price at grant date - $0.23-$0.89, exercise price - $1.50, expected life – 5 years, volatility – 126%-130%, risk-free rate - .70%-.86%. The total intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the draws was determined to be $302,904 and was amortized in full as of March 31, 2013. The line of credit was drawn to $710,000 as of September 30, 2021. Accrued interest related to the line of credit was $331,170 as of September 30, 2021 and has not been paid.

NOTE 11 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. The Company has negative working capital, no established source of revenue and significant losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan.
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 855-10, there are no other subsequent events in the Company’s operation to the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the events described above.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Potash America, Inc. (“the Company” or “PTAM”), was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007. We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 31, 2007, as Adtomize Inc. On June 29, 2010, we underwent a change of control. On September 8, 2010, we affected a split of our authorized capital and our issued and outstanding common shares on an 80 for 1 share basis. On March 3, 2011, we changed our name to Potash America, Inc. We maintain an office at 2234 North Federal Highway, Suite 2002, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 and our telephone number is (561) 427-9670.
Commencing with its organization, the Company focused on the acquisition and development of exploration stage mineral properties, with emphasis on fertilizer and agri-business assets, including potash, montmorillonite, bentonite and gypsum. The Company sought to acquire known deposits whose economic value had changed with market pricing levels, and to develop these assets into agri-products. Changes in the agri-business market, together with the Company’s lack of sufficient to acquire mineral properties at attractive prices, caused the Company to withdraw from active involvement in the mineral properties business in 2013.
Our Business Focus
At Potash America we offer an unparalleled consultant partnership through our diverse portfolio of clients by identifying people and businesses in key sectors in need of guidance. Through stimulation, reorganization, or introduction of new products and services, we help entrepreneurs reach their fullest potential. When a product or service has an appealing concept, we are willing to take risks and support people and businesses that fit our goals and philosophy, advancing ideas that are new, unique, creative, and experimental.
We believe that socioeconomic and environmental improvements can be made in all sectors of the world. That’s why our consulting vision isn’t only to explore sectors such as renewable energy or health and wellness, but to continually help the businesses become greener while improving profits. By partnering with these companies, we can help our partners reach their financial goals while also doing good for their communities and the planet.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a March 31 fiscal year end.
Financial Instrument
The Company's financial instrument consists of cash, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred compensation, accrued interest, convertible line of credit, note payable, and a line of credit due to a related party.
POTASH AMERICA, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 UNAUDITED
It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its other financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values except where separately disclosed.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
PTAM considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2021, the Company had $158 cash, whereas, on March 31, 2020, the Company had $0 cash.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered, or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. As of March 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively, the Company expensed $0 in marketing and website development and maintenance of its site.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. As of March 31, 2021, there were no stock options outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
PTAM does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

NOTE 11 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. The Company has negative working capital, no established source of revenue and significant losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan.
