PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary provides an overview of all material information contained in this prospectus.  It does not contain all the information you should consider before making a decision to purchase the shares our selling stockholders are offering.  You should very carefully and thoroughly read the more detailed information in this prospectus and review our financial statements and all other information that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
 
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to, “AFAI,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refers to Alternative Fuels Americas Inc.
 
Overview
 
AFAI is a development stage company which intends to be a “seed to pump” biofuels company focusing on Latin America.  As a “seed to pump biofuels company,” we plan to be involved in every phase of the biofuels production process, from growing plants suitable for conversion into biofuels, to extracting crude oils from plant matter and ultimately refining crude oil into international grade biodiesel and selling it to end users.
 
Since 2005, we have been quietly constructing a viable and sustainable biofuels company in Latin America.  Making certain to stay away from the hype and promoters fueling “biofuel-mania,” we rather have engaged in plant trials, research and development and biofuels strategy development.
 
AFAI has not only experimented with crops, but also with business models – developing distinctive strategic approaches that we anticipate will enable us to perform in a viable and profitable way.  Today we believe that we have the management team, agronomy and tree science, chemistry, engineering, farm management, production process, economic models, strategic models, and expert biofuels know-how necessary to establish and sustain a fully integrated biofuels enterprise.
 
The Company has developed a three-phased business plan that provides for early-stage revenues, Company ownership of feedstock supplies and internal research and development capabilities capacities for emerging and new feedstock opportunities, specifically algae.
 
Phase One enables the Company to generate early-stage revenues by utilizing feedstock from oil-rich crops that are currently growing wild on private farms.  AFAI has preliminarily organized a number of long-term transactions with private farmers that it believes will provide it with steady and secure access to this wild feedstock for up to ten years.  Once the program reaches maximum capacity (which we anticipate will happen after three years), the Company estimates that it will be able to access sufficient feedstock to produce up to 3 million gallons of biodiesel.  Moreover, the wild feedstock program will allow AFAI to adjust and validate its operational procedures to ensure maximum efficiency as the Company moves into larger scale production.  Phase One was developed by AFAI in response to the need to accelerate the path to revenues and demonstrate operational abilities prior to the initiation of large-scale plans and the deployment of corresponding capital.
 
Phase Two provides AFAI with control over its long-term feedstock needs through the implementation of a wide scale planting and farming program of second generation oil-rich crops.  This is expected to provide the Company with the ability to maintain stable production and control costs.  The Company has conducted plant trials, as well as consulted with other experimental farms, and believes that it now possesses the agronomy, biology, plant science, farm management and crop development skills needed to successfully execute its farming program. AFAI has contracted with biotechnology and farming companies to provide implementation services and has secured options on land suitable for farming high yield oil-rich crops.  Phase Two was developed in response to current instability in the feedstock supply chain and the fluctuations in costs when purchasing feedstock from third-party suppliers.
Phase Three serves to ensure that AFAI will continue to operate on the cutting-edge of the biofuels sector, by using research and development, strategic innovations, and operational creativity to establish and maintain success.  The Company is exploring strategic alliances with or acquisitions of developers of alternative biofuel sources or technologies such as the conversion of algae to fuel.  The Company has not reached any definitive agreements in this regard.  Phase Two is designed to ensure that stakeholders and investors are able to benefit from values that increase as technologies evolve.

 
 

 

 
·
Our achievements to date include: development of personnel infrastructure (farm development and plant maintenance) and government and private sector network necessary to properly execute Company’s business plan;
 
·
establishment of land lease and land purchase opportunities in each country;
 
 
·
completion of research and the codifying of the science indicating best feedstock sources (knowing which species of Jatropha to plant according to local climate, soil and altitude conditions) and completion of research on Coyol as an alternative feedstock;
 
 
·
identification of equipment suppliers for modular transesterification (refining) facilities;
 
 
·
signing of a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Bioenergy Solutions of Central America (BSCA), a Costa Rican company with agronomy, farm engineering, farm management, and biodiesel production capabilities;
 
 
·
conclusion of a Lease Options Agreement with landowners in Costa Rica for a combined 5,000 hectares;
 
 
·
signing of a Cooperative Agreement with United Biofuels of America, a Costa Rican based biofuels association, providing the Company with priority introductions to landowners, production facility manufacturers, and feedstock development companies; and
 
 
·
research alternative technologies such as the conversion of algae to fuel.
 
To advance our implementation capabilities, AFAI has secured capacity in all four of the critical components of biodiesel production (1) reliable feedstock supply - through access to land and farm management expertise, (2) independent oilseed crushing/extraction capability - through its plan calling for on-farm extraction, (3) independent, technologically advanced refining ability -  through use of existing excess industry capacity and later through Company owned facilities, and (4) efficient logistical and sales channels - through the Company’s planned network.  The Company now has the capacity, either directly or through strategic relationships, to:
 
 
·
organize and execute its wild feedstock program;
 
 
·
engage in agricultural best practices for high yield production of Jatropha and other feedstocks;
 
 
·
utilize state-of-the-art oil extraction and transesterification (refining) technologies;
 
 
·
produce sufficient quantities of feedstock on a scalable model to ensure stable, steady growth;
 
 
·
place and manage crushing/extraction and refining facilities in the field;
 
 
·
continue research and development on algae as a next-generation feedstock, and
 
 
·
sell and distribute biodiesel to domestic and select international markets.
 
We plan to play a leadership role in the emerging private-public coalition being formed to establish Latin America as a global center for the production of biofuels.  We believe we have established a broad network of cooperative relationships and key contacts to ensure inclusion in regional discussions of biofuel development.
 
The Company has adopted a “seed-to-pump” model, meaning it incorporates all components of the production chain.  The Company believes that the “seed-to-pump” model will enable it to vertically integrate operations for greater operational oversight, link costs for greater efficiency and savings, and exercise control over the end product.

 
3

 
 
The Company has selected Jatropha Curcas as its initial main source of feedstock for its planting program, which it plans to supplement with other feedstock.  Jatropha is a non-edible plant (so it does not compete with the food sector) and grows abundantly on marginal lands (so land is inexpensive and there is no need to deforest to make room for plantations).  The Company intends to process primarily Coyol for its wild feedstock program.
 
AFAI intends to engage all stakeholders in the biofuel value chain so as to be certain to maintain respectful and mutually beneficial operational relationships, including:
 
 
·
farmers;
 
 
·
village leaders (where farms are located);
 
 
·
company employees;
 
 
·
government agencies in each respective country, including those agencies responsible for investment, agriculture, energy, economic development, environment and rural development;
 
 
·
local fuel distributors, wholesalers and retailers;
 
 
·
local fuel refineries;
 
 
·
the oil companies; and
 
 
·
NGOs in the fuel, environment, business development, poverty alleviation, and regional development sectors.
 
The Company will require significant capital to implement its business plan.  There can be no assurance that the Company can raise the necessary funds, on favorable terms or otherwise.  Failure to obtain sufficient capital will substantially harm the Company’s prospects.

RISK FACTORS
 
The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling stockholders are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock.  Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects.  If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected.  In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment.  You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our common stock.
 
We have a limited operating history with our current business.
 
The Company was incorporated in 1993 and has engaged in a number of businesses as a private and subsequently, a publicly held company, including the online sale of specialty foods, online marketing and website development.
 
The business of AFAI, which the Company acquired in January 2010 and on which the Company plans to focus its efforts, is in the development stage and has generated no revenues to date.  It is subject to all the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in establishing a new business, including the planting, harvesting and processing of high yield oil crops and the rating of biodiesel fuel.  The Company does not know if it will become commercially viable and ever generate significant revenues or operate at a profit.
 
The Company will require additional financing to become commercially viable.
 
To date, the Company has funded its development activities primarily through private placements of its securities, which have raised approximately $572,500 and $358,666 during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company will require additional financing to complete development of, commercially launch and market its planned products.  The Company incurred net losses of $371,908 and $307,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $518,918 and $238,845 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Moreover, as of June 30, 2011, we had a total  stockholders’ deficit of $1,594,226 and the independent auditors report for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes an explanatory paragraph stating that our lack of revenues and working capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a growing concern.  While we are seeking to raise additional financing either through government grants and incentives or additional securities offerings, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when needed, on favorable terms or otherwise.  Moreover, any such additional financing may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.  The absence of additional financing, when needed, could cause the Company to delay implementation of its business plan in whole or in part, curtail its business activities and seriously harm the Company and its prospects.
 
The marketing and market acceptance of biodiesel fuels may not be as rapid as AFAI expects.
 
The market for biodiesel is rapidly evolving and activity in the sector is expanding rapidly.  Demand and market acceptance for biodiesel are subject to uncertainty and risk, as changes in the price of fossil diesel and possible adverse reactions by the major oil companies could influence and denigrate demand.  AFAI cannot predict whether, or how fast, this market will grow or how long it can be sustained.  If the market for biodiesel develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, AFAI’s operating results could be adversely impacted.
 
There is no assurance that our business will be profitable or that it will succeed.
 
The Company has constructed what it believes to be a sound and well conceived business model, but it cannot, with certainly, project the success of its implementation.  Prospective investors should consider the risks, expenses and uncertainties that an early stage corporation like AFAI will need to overcome.  These risks include the Company’s ability or inability to: (i) execute all aspects of its “seed-to-pump” operations; (ii) achieve commercial acceptance of the biodiesel it expects to sell (iii) expand the existing businesses beyond the current pilot project and into neighboring Latin American countries; (iv) achieve financing as set forth above to fund the next stages of the plan of operation; and (v) respond effectively to competitive pressures.  If the Company is unsuccessful in these addressed risks, the business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected and the business may fail.

 
7

 
 
AFAI must effectively meet the challenges of managing expanding operations.
 
The Company’s business plan anticipates that operations will undergo significant expansion.  This expansion will require the Company to establish operations in additional locations in Latin America and manage a larger and more complex organization.  This growth could place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources.  To accommodate this growth, AFAI must successfully expand the agricultural, technical and human resource practices established and verified as effective.  Management may not succeed with these efforts.  Failure to expand in an efficient manner could cause expenses to be greater than anticipated, revenues to grow more slowly than expected and could otherwise have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The Company’s strategic partnerships are new to AFAI.
 
AFAI only recently concluded agreements with Costa Rican enterprises that contribute significantly to the Company’s depth of knowledge in agronomy and farm management practices.  The Company is subject to certain risks associated with these new business relationships, including, among others, risks relating to business relations, managerial efficiency and effectiveness with Company business and operations.
 
AFAI is part of an emerging industry.
 
The Company is engaging in an aggressive plan of growth in an emerging industry that has yet to fully define competitive, operational, financial and other parameters for successful operations.  While the biofuels industry is now global, few companies have reached large scale “seed-to-pump” production capacity and there are certainly errors being made as the quest for growth is pursued.  Additionally, new technologies and agricultural techniques, as well as new crops, may be introduced after the Company has substantially committed to less advantageous legacy processes and feedstock sources, leaving the Company to choose between the cost of upgrading and the continued use of obsolete processes and feedstock.  By aggressively pursuing growth prior to other companies demonstrating where the pressure points of the industry lay may cause the Company to make errors, restricting some or all of its ability to perform in accordance with its expectations.
 
AFAI must secure sources of feedstock and the ability to process feedstock into biodiesel.
 
In order to achieve any level of success, AFAI will be required to secure a commercially reasonable level of feedstock to process into biodiesel, as well as biodiesel refining capacity.  As AFAI will be dependent on third parties in this regard, there can be no assurance that it can achieve either goal or commercially reasonable terms, in which case, its business may be substantially harmed.
 
We have not undertaken any significant marketing efforts and we have only limited marketing experience in the biodiesel fuel arena.
 
As we are in the development stage, we have not undertaken any significant marketing efforts for our planned biodiesel products.  Moreover, we have only limited marketing experience in the biodiesel fuel arena.  Accordingly, there is no assurance that any marketing strategy we develop can be successfully implemented or if implemented, that it will result in significant sales of our planned biodiesel fuel products.

 
8

 

AFAI will be subject to the risks involved in operating in Latin America.
 
The Company anticipates operating throughout Latin America.  Prior to entering a country, the Company will be tracking United States State Department advisories and news and analyst sources to determine if an unacceptable level of risk is evolving.  Nonetheless, the region has had periods of political unrest and instability and there is no assurance that the countries within which the Company sets up farms and operations will remain stable for the entire duration of the AFAI presence. Any changes in the political environment could result in losses to the Company.
 
Our business will be affected by changes in governmental regulation.
 
The biofuels industry is regulated by government policy, primarily as regards mandated usages, product production and product standards.  There can be no assurance that we can comply with all applicable regulations.  Countries we operate in may elect not to enforce the regulations, or may change the regulations in ways that adversely affect our business.
 
We will be subject to the risks of foreign legal systems.
 
AFAI plans to be involved in the leasing or acquisition of land, the creation of joint ventures, the production of fuel (a regulated activity), and operations in a number of different legal jurisdictions.  The laws regulating these activities, the legal precautions required to protect the Company and its investors, and the compliance with local regulations will need to be conducted in conjunction with local attorneys.  While the Company plans to ascertain the competency of its legal advisors in each country of operation, it can make no guarantee that the legal advice given will be accurate.  Nor can it be certain that the legal procedures followed by the Company, on advice of legal counsel, will indicate the best course of action.
 
Our business will be affected by factors influencing the market for fuel products.
 
Price risk reflects the variability in supply and demand, as driven by geopolitics, business cycles and other factors.  The price of fossil diesel fuel strongly affects the price that can be claimed for biofuel.  A sharp decline in fossil fuel prices would result in a mandatory drop in biofuel prices, regardless of the fixed production costs associated with the agricultural, crushing and transesterification components of the business.
 
The Company will be subject to other operating risks which may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
 
Our planned operations will be subject to risks normally incidental to manufacturing operations which may result in work stoppages and/or damage to property.  This may be caused by:
 
 
·
breakdown of crushers;
 
 
·
breakdown of the processes that create fuel products;
 
 
·
labor disputes;
 
 
·
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;
 
 
·
imposition of new government regulations;
 
 
·
sabotage by operational personnel;
 
 
·
cost overruns; and
 
 
·
fire, flood, or other acts of God.
 
The Company will likely face significant competition.
 
The markets for biofuels are energy generation and transportation which are highly competitive.  The Company will likely face significant competition from other biofuel companies, as well as from more traditional energy and fuel companies which may enter the biofuel market.  Some of these competitors or potential competitors have greater experience, more extensive industry contacts and greater financial resources than the Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company can effectively compete.

We currently rely on certain key individuals and the loss of one of these key individuals could have an adverse effect on the Company.
 
Our success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of our management.  These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and success.  The loss of the service of members of the management and advisory board could have a material adverse effect on our company.  In particular, the success of our company is highly dependent upon the efforts of our CEO and COO, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of our Company.  Additionally, we do not anticipate having key man insurance in place in respect of our directors and executive officers in the foreseeable future.
 
The Company’s success will be dependent in part upon its ability to attract qualified personnel and consultants.
 
The Company’s success will be dependent in part upon its ability to attract qualified creative marketing, sales and product development teams.  The inability to do so on favorable terms may harm the Company’s proposed business.
 
We intend to become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports.  These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.
 
Following the effective date of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis.  Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports.  The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys.  However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
 
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  As defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the 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 generally accepted accounting principles and 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 the assets of the Company;
 
 
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being mad e only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and
 
 
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 
10

 
 
We will be required to include a report of management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification requirements.
 
We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees.  During the course of our testing, we may identify other deficiencies that we may not be able to timely remediate.  In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
 
The costs of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.
 
As a public company, we will have to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control.  The costs of this compliance could be significant.  If our revenues do not increase and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of our shares, we may be unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business which would result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation and By Laws provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability that may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors.  We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
The market for our common stock is extremely limited and sporadic.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market.  The market for our common stock is extremely limited and sporadic and the last trade for our common stock was on November 10, 2010.  Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Pink Market is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects.  This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance.  Moreover, the OTC Market is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities in the OTC Market is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq, or a stock exchange like NYSE/AMEX.  Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

Our common stock is a penny stock.  Trading of our common stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.

Our stock is a penny stock.  The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.”  The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.  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 in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, 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 the 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 to the customer 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 these 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 the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.  Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.  We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC, FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer.  Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.  Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.  FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.
 
Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include:
 
 
·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to a promoter or issuer;
 
 
·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
 
 
·
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons;
 
 
·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
 
 
·
Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
Any trading market that may develop may be restricted by virtue of state securities “Blue Sky” laws that prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws.  These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states.
 
There is currently no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any established public market will develop in the foreseeable future.  Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities laws and regulations promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “blue sky” laws.  Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions.  Because the securities being registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares, and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities.  These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock.  We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in a number of states that do not offer manual exemptions and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders.  Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

Our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation allows us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders.  Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock.  As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.
 
The ability of our principal stockholders, including our CEO, to control our business may limit or eliminate minority stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.
 
Our principal stockholders, including our CEO, own shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which votes on an “as-converted” basis, together with shares of our common stock as a single class, giving them approximately 68.4% voting control.  Because of their stock ownership, they are in a position to significantly influence membership of our board of directors, as well as all other matters requiring stockholder approval.  The interests of our principal stockholders may differ from the interests of other stockholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of other officers and directors and other business decisions.  The minority stockholders have no way of overriding decisions made by our principal stockholders.  This level of control may also have an adverse impact on the market value of our shares because our principal stockholders may institute or undertake transactions, policies or programs that result in losses may not take any steps to increase our visibility in the financial community and / or may sell sufficient numbers of shares to significantly decrease our price per share.
 
We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock.  We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future.  The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider.  Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.
 
The conversion of our outstanding preferred stock and 8% secured convertible notes would result in the issuance of approximately 86,726,273 shares.  Accordingly such “market overhang” could adversely impact the market price of our common stock.
 
We have 100,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, all of which are held by our CEO and a second principal stockholder, which can be converted into 43,392,940 shares of common stock.  In addition, we have $650,000 8% in principal amount of 8% convertible notes outstanding, which can be converted into 43,333,333 shares of common stock, of which 18,000,000 shares are covered by this prospectus.  Such “market overhang” could adversely impact the market price of our common stock as a result of the dilution which would result if such securities were converted into shares of common stock.

Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange/NYSE/AMEX and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance.  These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with voluntary compliance, we have not yet adopted these measures.
 
We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees.  As a result, directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation.  Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations as a result thereof.
 
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required.  However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers.  The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
 
You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.
 
As of effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying.  Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may (in our discretion) be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if we have less than 300 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8-A.  If this occurs after the year in which our registration statement becomes effective, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and your access to our business information would then be even more restricted.  After this registration statement on Form S-1 becomes effective, we will be required to deliver periodic reports to security holders.  However, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our directors, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 until we have both 500 or more security holders and greater than $10 million in assets.  As a result, your access to information regarding our business will be limited.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling stockholders.  We have agreed to bear the expenses (other than any underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions) in connection with the registration of the common stock being offered hereby by the selling stockholders.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
All shares being offered will be sold by existing stockholders without our involvement, consequently the actual price of the stock will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions negotiated by the selling stockholders.  The offering price will thus be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the selling stockholders.
 
DILUTION
 
The common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding.  Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
 
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
This prospectus covers the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in the table below of up to 26,322,088   shares of our common stock, which were issued in various transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.  We are registering the shares to permit the selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest to, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions when and as they deem appropriate in the manner described in the “Plan of Distribution.” As of the date of this prospectus there are 21,424,798 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
 
The following table sets forth, as of October 25, 2011, the name of each selling stockholder, the number and percentage of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder prior to the offering for resale of the shares under this prospectus, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder that may be offered from time to time under this prospectus, and the number and percentage of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder after the offering of the shares (assuming all of the offered shares are sold by the selling stockholder.
 
There are no agreements between the company and any selling stockholder pursuant to which the shares subject to this registration statement were issued.  None of the selling stockholders has had a material relationship with us other than as a stockholder at any time within the past three years or has ever been one of our officers or directors.
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes any shares of common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

PROPOSED BUSINESS
 
General
 
AFAI is a development stage biofuels company which intends to be a “seed to pump” biofuels company focusing on Latin America.  As a “seed to pump’ company, we plan to be involved in every phase of the biofuels production process, from growing plants suitable for conversion into biofuels, to extracting crude oils from plant matter and ultimately reefing crude oil into international grade biodiesel and selling it to end users.
 
AFAI has not only experimented with crops, but also with business models – developing distinctive strategic approaches that enable us to perform in a viable and profitable way.  Today we believe that we have the management team, agronomy and tree science, chemistry, engineering, farm management, production process, economic models, strategic models, and expert biofuels know-how necessary to establish and sustain a world class green oil company.
 
Phase One enables the Company to generate early-stage revenues by utilizing feedstock from oil-rich crops that are currently growing wild on private farms. AFAI has preliminarily organized a number of long-term transactions with private farmers that it believes will provide steady and secure access to this wild feedstock for up to ten years.  Once the program reaches maximum capacity (which we anticipate will happen after three years), the Company estimates that it will be able to access sufficient feedstock to produce up to 3 million gallons of biodiesel.  Moreover, the wild feedstock program will allow AFAI to adjust and validate its operational procedures to ensure maximum efficiency as the Company moves into larger scale production.  Phase One was developed by AFAI in response to the need to accelerate the path to revenues and demonstrate operational abilities prior to the initiation of large-scale plans and the deployment of corresponding capital.
 
Phase Two provides AFAI with control over its long-term feedstock needs through the implementation of a wide scale planting and farming program of second generation oil-rich crops.  This is expected to provide the Company with the ability to maintain stable production and control costs.  The Company has conducted plant trials, as well as consulted with other experimental farms, and believes that it now possesses the agronomy, biology, plant science, farm management and crop development skills needed to successfully execute its farming program.  AFA has contracted with biotechnology and farming companies to provide implementation services and has secured options on land suitable for farming high yield oil-rich crops.  Phase Two was developed in response to current instability in the feedstock supply chain and the fluctuations in costs when purchasing feedstock from third-party suppliers.
 
Phase Three serves to ensure that AFAI will continue to operate on the cutting-edge of the biofuels sector, by using research and development, strategic innovations, and operational creativity to establish and maintain success.  The Company is exploring strategic alliances with or acquisitions of developers of alternative biofuel sources or technologies such as the conversion of algae to fuel.  The Company has not reached any definitive agreements in this regard.  Phase Two is designed to ensure that stakeholders and investors are able to benefit from values that increase as technologies evolve.
 
Our achievements to date include:
 
 
·
development of personnel infrastructure (farm development and plant maintenance) and government and private sector network necessary to properly execute Company’s business plan;
 
 
·
establishment of land lease and land purchase opportunities in each country;
 
 
·
completion of research and the codifying of the science indicating best feedstock sources (knowing which species of Jatropha to plant according to local climate, soil and altitude conditions) and completion of research on Coyol as an alternative feedstock;
 
 
·
identification of equipment suppliers for modular transesterification (refining) facilities;

 
19

 
 
 
·
signing of a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Bioenergy Solutions of Central America (BSCA), a Costa Rican company with agronomy, farm engineering, farm management, and biodiesel production capabilities;
 
 
·
conclusion of a Lease Option Agreement with landowners in Costa Rica for a combined 5,000 hectares;
 
 
·
signing of a Cooperative Agreement with United Biofuels of America, a Costa Rican based biofuels association, providing the Company with priority introductions to landowners, production facility manufacturers, and feedstock development companies;
 
 
·
research alternative technologies, such as the conversion of algae to fuel.
 
To advance our implementation capabilities, AFAI has secured capacity in all four of the critical components of biodiesel production (1) reliable feedstock supply -  through access to land and farm management expertise, (2) independent oilseed crushing/extraction capability – through its plan calling for on-farm extraction, (3) independent, technologically advanced refining ability -  through use of existing excess industry capacity and later through Company owned facilities, and (4) efficient logistical and sales channels -  through the Company’s planned network.  The Company now has the capacity to either directly or through strategic relationships, to:
 
 
·
organize and execute its wild feedstock program;
 
 
·
engage in agricultural best practices for high yield production of Jatropha and other feedstocks;
 
 
·
utilize state-of-the-art oil extraction and transesterification (refining) technologies;
 
 
·
produce sufficient quantities of feedstock on a scalable model to ensure stable, steady growth;
 
 
·
place and manage crushing/extraction and refining facilities in the field;
 
 
·
continue research and development on algae as a next-generation feedstock, and
 
 
·
sell and distribute biodiesel to domestic and select international markets.
 
Market Overview
 
According to business intelligence provider, IntertechPira, the total value of clean technologies globally is expected to rise by over 250% to $525 billion in 2019.  This represents average annual growth of 13.5% for the ten year period from 2009.  By 2019 the global biofuels market is expected to more than triple from estimated 2009 bases of 15 billion gallons of ethanol and 3 billion gallons of biodiesel production.
 
Investment in biofuels, while slightly down due to the economic climate, is still reasonably robust.  In 2009 Venture Capital funds invested $680.2 million into biofuels companies.  In addition, leading oil companies, including BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Petrobras (Brazil) have all begun investing in biofuels.
 
Feedstocks
 
Jatropha
 
While the Company continues to explore other feedstock options, including algae and coyol, and has farm models that integrate two or more feedstock plants, AFA has determined that current technologies and farming models lend a distinct advantage to Jatropha as the Company’s core feedstock.

 
20

 

Jatropha is also a favored feedstock because it does not serve as a food source and therefore we believe it will not result in rising food prices as supply is diverted for fuel production.  Additional, the versatility of the crop allows for planting on diverse soil types and varied climate conditions.  This permits the widespread planting of Jatropha without the need to clear existing forest.
 
Globally, approximately 900,000 hectares (2,160,000 acres) of Jatropha have already been planted through 242 Jatropha projects.
 
According to The Global Exchange for Social Investment, which produces the industry leading GEXSI Jatropha Report , the number and size of Jatropha projects currently being developed are increasing sharply, with anticipation that over the next 5-7 years approximately 1.5 to 2 million (3.6 million to 4.8 million acres) of Jatropha will be planted.  This will result in a total of approximately 13 million hectares (31.2 million acres) by 2015.  The estimated investment to support this growth is expected to be at least $1 billion US dollars annually for each of the next 7 years.
 
Coyol
 
Also called Macaúba in Latin America, the Coyol Palm (Spiny Palm), while edible, is not widely used as a food.  Some facts about Coyol include:
 
 
·
The tree’s lifespan can be as long as 70 years
 
 
·
Fruit appears between years 5-8 and continues annually for the life of the tree
 
 
·
Oil content can be as high as 21%
 
 
·
Productivity can reach 20 tons of feedstock per hectare, per year
 
 
·
The tree is native to Central America
 
 
·
AFAI has signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Bioenergy Solutions of Central America (BSCA), a Costa Rican company considered a world leader in the cultivation of Coyol for biodiesel.
 
Algae
 
Scientists have established that Botryococcus Braunii, an ancient strain of algae, is the primary carbon chain component for today’s fossil fuels, having transformed into their current state during the past 500 million years.  It is upon this science that the current notion that the cultivation and processing of algae could lead to the rapid production of green oil.
 
The following interesting facts point to the potential of algae:
 
 
§
Studies have shown that some species of algae can produce up to 60% of their dry weight in the form of oil.
 
§
Because the cells grow in aqueous suspension, they have more efficient access to water, CO 2 and dissolved nutrients.
 
§
Microalgae are capable of producing large amounts of biomass in algal ponds or photobioreactors.
 
Environmental Impact
 
AFAI will adhere, throughout the lifecycle (seed, harvest, processing, waste management) to responsible and economically sustainable business practices.  In this context, sensitive issues such as protection of the ecosystem including water utilization and management (depletion & pollution), land preparation and preservation (nutrient depletion), biodiversity, crop replacement, and other related concerns, will be approached in accordance with guidelines designed to best protect the environment.

 
21

 
 
AFAI anticipates its lease sites will focus on lands that have either been identified as degraded agricultural lands with scarce localized vegetation, or have been used for short term crops.  Thus, at no point does AFAI intend to engage in the replacement and conversion of forests, wetlands, woodlands, or any other ecosystem that would result in producing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that are greater than (exceed) the savings (emissions reductions) generated by planting the contemplated Bioenergy crops.
 
The model the Company plans to implement will be discretionary and selective so as to avoid any conflict that could be conceived as potentially detrimental to the environment.  AFAI is aware of and will ascribe to the Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations review “The State of Food & Agriculture – Part 1: Biofuels: Prospects, Risks and Opportunities (2008).  This report illustrates that “environmental impacts vary widely across feedstocks, production practices and locations, and depend critically on how land-use change is managed.  Replacing annual crops with perennial feedstocks (such as oil palm, Jatropha, or perennial grasses) can improve carbon balances…” The report goes on to state that by “restricting land-use change could foreclose opportunities for developing countries to benefit from increased demand for agricultural commodities.” Every AFAI project will adhere to this rationale and approach.  We are committed to practices that result in the overall reduction of our carbon footprint.
 
Social Benefits
 
The development of biodiesel oil fields in developing areas can lead to social benefits that go beyond and build upon the economic benefits to create meaningful and lasting improvements in the lives of local residents.  These include:
 
 
·
Community Infrastructure Development - with new funds coming into the community, local governments will have newly discovered resources available for sewage and road construction, electricity and water installation, schools and hospitals, parks and play-areas, and other critical and quality-of-life projects.
 
 
·
Social Welfare Programs - through private/public partnerships, such as programs AFAI plans to initiate in Costa Rica, biodiesel enterprises can bring to their employees and the extended local community access to educational seminars, healthcare checkups, childcare options, and other enriching programs.
 
 
·
Employee Savings and Loan Programs - AFAI will be instituting a program to assist its employees in saving a portion of their wages by offering bonuses based on amounts saved.  These programs help employees build toward a better future, accumulate the funds needed to purchase a home, and provide for a more stable home environment.  AFAI will establish loan criteria for its loyal employees, granting them additional opportunities to purchase a home.
 
Economic Benefits
 
There are a number of economic benefits associated with the establishment of a viable and sustainable biodiesel industry, particularly for developing nations such as those of Latin America.  These benefits include:
 
 
·
Reduction of Reliance on Foreign Oil - currently many countries in Latin America rely (almost completely) on imported oil to meet their transportation and energy needs.  This dependency renders them vulnerable to price increases, supply shortages, and the political manipulation of petroleum.  By developing a domestic capacity to grow and produce oil by leveraging their well established agricultural infrastructure, Latin American nations could significantly reduce the amount of oil they import.  This would reduce their trade deficits and eliminate any adverse economic consequences brought on by increases in oil prices.
 
 
·
Job Creation - the increased agricultural production, the crushing and refining of oil, and the transportation of the fuel to the market place are all areas that will create new jobs.  The greatest number of jobs can be created in the rural areas where farmers and their employees will be given the opportunity to grow sustainable feedstock crops for the biodiesel industry for decades.  AFAI estimates it will create 48 administrative positions, 109 full time farming jobs, 326 half time farming jobs, and 24 positions in its facilities per 5,000 hectares cultivated.

 
22

 
 
 
·
Use of Marginal Lands - some feedstock crops, such as Jatropha, can grow commercially on marginal lands that are currently not yielding income for farmers - provided the crop is given sufficient water and fertilizers.  The ability to incorporate these lands into the respective national agricultural matrix is meaningful and will allow the expansion of the biodiesel feedstock sector while not requiring deforestation or the reduction of crop yields for food uses.
 
 
·
Attraction of Foreign Investment - the inclusion of biodiesel feedstock as a major crop will encourage foreign investment as American, European and Asian companies seek to acquire and secure feedstock sources for their domestic biodiesel enterprises.  Additionally, the substantial domestic markets will also attract companies (like AFAI) who will seek to establish operations to serve domestic needs.
 
 
·
Introduction of New Techniques and Technologies - the recognition of Latin America as a center for the development and cultivation of low cost feedstock for the global biodiesel market will encourage the introduction of new agricultural techniques and innovative crushing and refining technologies that will serve to increase yields and improve efficiencies not only in the areas that service the biodiesel industry, but also throughout the entire agricultural sector.
 
Planned Operations
 
The distinctive operational approach AFAI has developed to support its vertical strategy stems from its “seed-to-pump” vision.  By imposing efficiencies on every phase of the biofuels cycle, the Company can ensure lower costs.  The Company has established five operational units for the purpose of ensuring efficient implementation and the maximization of profit potential.  The units are:
 
1.           Agriculture (Farm Management) - all matters associated with the establishment and maintenance of a stable, secure and plentiful feedstock supply.  The operation components include:
 
 
·
Land evaluation and selection
 
 
·
Land lease or buy
 
 
·
Determination of plant species for maximum yield (the science of Jatropha)
 
 
·
Planting and nursery
 
 
·
Crop maintenance including irrigation and trimming
 
 
·
Harvesting of fruit/nut
 
2.           Oilseed Crushing and Extraction – all matters associated with extracting the crude oil from the plant fruit/nut.  The operational components include:
 
 
·
Selection of crushing and extraction equipment
 
 
·
Assembly and maintenance of crushing equipment and extraction line
 
 
·
Training of staff for safe and efficient operations of machinery
 
 
·
Safe and efficient operations with minimum waste
 
 
·
Separation of seed and husk (husk to be sold for use as biomass, fertilizer and for the production of ethanol)
 
 
·
Drying and storage of seeds
 
 
·
Crushing of seed for crude oil extraction and separation of seed cake to be sold for use as biomass and fertilizer
 
 
23

 
 
3.            Transesterification (Refining) – all matters associated with transforming the crude oil into international grade (highest quality) biodiesel.  The operational components include:
 
 
·
Exploring the opportunities to leverage existing (under-utilized) refining capacity
 
 
·
Selection of transesterification equipment
 
 
·
Assembly and maintenance of equipment and production line
 
 
·
Training of staff for safe and efficient operations of machinery
 
 
·
Safe and efficient operations with minimum waste
 
 
·
Implementation of strict quality control standards and testing of biodiesel to meet quality standards
 
 
·
Refining of oil through mixture with methanol or through a hydrothermal process.
 
 
·
Separation of glycerin (to be sold for pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses).
 
Biodiesel Production
 
The production of biodiesel fuel is comprised of two distinct processes:
 
1.           The extraction of the oil from the seed through a process of drying the kernel and then pressing or crushing.
 
2.           The refining of the crushed (crude) oil through a process called transesterification.
 
AFAI will purchase equipment as its production capacity demands.  The equipment to be purchased includes:
 
 
·
Crushing machines to extract crude oil from Jatropha and Coyol.
 
 
·
Transesterification facilities to transform crude oil to biodiesel.
 
 
·
Light trucks for transport of feedstock.
 
 
·
Electricity generators.
 
 
·
Storage tanks.
 
Business Strategy
 
We plan to play a leadership role in the emerging private-public coalition being formed to establish Latin America as a leading global center for the production of biofuels.  We believe we have established a broad network of cooperative relationships and key contacts to ensure inclusion in regional biofuels discussions.
 
The Company has adopted the seed-to-pump model, meaning it incorporates all components of the value chain.  The Company believes that the seed-to-pump model will enable it to vertically integrate operations for greater operational oversight, link costs for greater efficiency and savings, and exercise control over the end product.
 
The Company has selected Jatropha Curcas as its main source of feedstock for its planting program, which it plans to supplement with other feedstock both to increase revenues and mitigate risks.  Jatropha is a non-edible plant (so it does not compete with the food sector) and grows abundantly on marginal lands (so land is inexpensive and there is no need to deforest to make room for plantations).  The Company intends primarily Coyol for its wild feedstock program.

 
24

 
 
AFAI intends to engage all stakeholders in the biofuel value chain so as to be certain to maintain respectful and mutually beneficial operational relationships.  The stakeholders with which the Company will maintain positive dialogue include:
 
 
·
farmers;
 
 
·
village leaders (where farms are located);
 
 
·
company employees;
 
 
·
government agencies in each respective country, including those agencies responsible for investment, agriculture, energy, economic development, environment and rural development;
 
 
·
local fuel distributors, wholesalers and retailers;
 
 
·
local fuel refineries;
 
 
·
the oil companies;
 
 
·
NGOs in the fuel, environment, business development, poverty alleviation, and regional development sectors; and
 
 
·
all other interested parties.
 
The Company has identified thirteen strategic elements that form the cornerstone of AFAI’s operational philosophies.  Many of these strategic concepts were developed to provide the Company with answers to challenges inherent to the biodiesel sector, while others are statements of the Company’s goals and business principles.  The 13 guiding strategies for AFAI are:
 
1.             Stage Development
 
AFAI believes that the primary challenge to a successful biodiesel enterprise is the need to generate revenues at a schedule that is not compatible with the growth cycle of the feedstock crops.  This very real business requirement leads to errors in agriculture, dangerous lending practices, and other actions that diminish long term viability.  To offset this confrontation, AFAI has developed its Wild Feedstock Program.  By using existing wild feedstock and adjusting the science to comply with the characteristics of the feedstock, the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues in the early years of its active production and support further development through planting.
 
2.             Do Good, Do Well
 
AFAI is a do-good, do-well company.  We are excited by the profitability in the oil industry and the lucrative opportunity presented by biodiesel.  We are also glad that our efforts help the environment and provide for economic growth in developing countries.  We will implement, whenever business practices permit, work processes that allow for maximum social and economic benefit to our employees and the residents of the communities within which we operate.
 
3.            Feedstock and Process Control
 
AFAI is a multi-feedstock company, leveraging the benefits of a variety of feedstock to ensure a secure and stable supply of high-yield oil crops.  The Company expects to gain and maintain complete control over its feedstock supply by leasing or owning all the land upon which the feedstock is grown, or through joint venture agreements with famers and farming cooperatives.  By entering into strategic partnerships with farmers and farming cooperatives the Company can secure adequate and seasoned manpower, while controlling the produce grown on the land.  The Company sees this as an operational imperative both so that supplies are secure and prices stable.  A core component of the Company’s strategy is to integrate its oilseed crushing and refining operations in the field so as to establish a broad and supporting presence in the communities in which the Company’s feedstock is grown.  Taking a page out of the Starbucks operational handbook, the Company sees providing farmers with additional benefits (beyond payment for the crops) as a smart business move (as well as an endearing social gesture).  The placement of the facilities in the field also serves to take advantage of synergistic infrastructures, cut logistic costs, and ensure a consistent product.

 
25

 
 
4.             Position Equipment In-Field
 
Wherever possible, the Company plans to integrate its oilseed crushing operations in-field so as to take advantage of synergistic infrastructures, reduce the logistic costs, and ensure a consistent product.  Additional benefits to the equipment being placed in the field include more job creation and the maintenance of friendly and stable relations with the farmers and local residents.
 
5.             Geographic Diversity
 
AFAI intends to plant in different regions in Costa Rica and other Latin American countries.  This geographic diversity serves to minimize the risks that could be associated with having too much of its operations in any one particular area, such as adverse weather patterns, acts of God, and other risks to the well-being of the crops or the enterprise.
 
6.             Rural Development
 
A great part and primary motivator for the Latin American countries in supporting the establishment of a biofuels industry is the development of their rural areas through the job creation the biofuel sector is expected to generate.  For example, a report commissioned by the government of Honduras estimated that an additional 300,000 jobs can be created through the national biodiesel program.  AFAI will seek to assist in the achievement of these national goals by serving as a model for a completely integrated rural based biodiesel enterprise.  By doing so the Company expects to earn the cooperation and support of local governments and leading business figures.  This support, while not deemed as crucial to operations, is seen as a convenience that can serve to advance the interests of the Company long term.
 
7.            Sector Consolidation
 
Over the course of the past few years – during Biofuels 1.0 – many companies received significant amounts of funds that were used to run agricultural trials and acquire land.  Many of these companies – as Biofuels 2.0 emerged – have run out of resources but still have the assets created.  Many of these companies were focused on only one link in the biofuels chain, such as feedstock development, crushing or refining.  AFAI believes that many of these companies are available for acquisition and that by purchasing companies the Company can consolidate the industry and gain control over each phase of the biofuels process.  The AFAI goal is to establish a regional enterprise that serves to consolidate a currently segmented sector.  This consolidation is viewed by the Company as a realistic and lucrative means of adding value to the enterprise.  As regional interest in biodiesel grows and multi-national companies seek to expand their interests from the United States and Europe into South and Latin America, AFA will be uniquely positioned to demonstrate and capitalize on its value.  The Company has no agreement to acquire another biofuel business.
 
8.            Self-Sustaining Profitable Units
 
The risks associated with large-scale projects are substantially mitigated through the Company’s strategy of treating each 1,000 – 5,000 hectare unit as stand-alone.  These units, funded as joint ventures with the capital source, are self-sustaining and profitable, allowing each capital source the security that the project is manageable and removed from the risks typically associated with massive agricultural operations.  While some risks remain, this distinctive AFA approach delivers a more focused and concentrated management and a significant reduction of risk.
 
9.            Sell Domestically
 
AFAI believes that it maximizes the economic and social benefits of its biodiesel production by selling its oil domestically. This policy serves to reduce the host country’s dependency on foreign oil, lessens drain on foreign currency reserves, creates additional jobs in sales and logistics, and keeps a vital national resource in-country.

 
26

 
 
10.          Strategic Partnerships
 
AFAI plans to work with management from each country within which it operates and establish strategic partnerships in each country so as to ensure a local presence and the ability to effectively interact with all relevant local players as necessary.  The Company currently has valuable strategic partnerships with United Biofuels of Americas and  Bioenergy Solutions of Central America, both based in Costa Rica .  These relationships serve to supplement the Company’s operational capacity by increasing technical know-how and farm management capabilities.  The Company will continue to establish mutually beneficial relationships with government agencies, NGOs, and local businesses in order to fulfill its mission.
 
11.          Acquisitions
 
During the “Biofuels 1.0” period many companies sort to focus on or gain control of one specific link in the biofuels production chain, such as feedstock crushing or crude oil refining.  These companies came to learn that the entities upon which they rely (such as feedstock developers) were able to leverage pressures that delayed production and drove up costs.  Additionally, many companies during this early period developed or relied upon technologies that were not yet fully matured.  This industry fragmentation, as well as the abundance of partially paralyzed entities, presents AFA with a distinctive opportunity to accelerate growth, hasten the timeline to production, and broaden its knowledge and operational foundations through the acquisition of projects and companies that were initiated during the “Biofuels 1.0” period and currently seek a “parent body” that will assume their assets and bring some value to their shareholders.
 
12.          Revenue Model
 
AFAI expects to produce and sell biodiesel fuel at sufficient quantities so as to establish the Company as a leading player in the regional biodiesel market.  The Company’s profits will be generated from the sale of biodiesel fuel which will be produced at a cost lower than the price for which it will be sold.  The Company expects to be producing large quantities of biodiesel, allowing for significant operational revenue.  With the proper efficiencies, the Company should be able to realize healthy profits.  Additionally, the Company expects to have revenue from the sale of production by-products, such as glycerin, seed cake, husk (biomass) and perhaps carbon credits.  Additionally, the Company may have a revenue opportunity through the sale of Genetic Micro Stems (GMS), the cutting of Jatropha plants sold to farmers for planting.  The Company will pursue each revenue opportunity and seek to maximize revenues at every chance.
 
13.          Growth Model and Value Creation
 
The Company plans to continue expanding through the leasing or acquisition of land on which it can grow feedstock and establish “above ground” oilfields.  The prospect for additional land – and greater production – exists.  This feedstock supply and production capacity will make the Company one of the largest operational biodiesel firms in the region.

The Company’s marketing program will be designed to raise awareness of AFAI and its activities and create interest in the Company, the biodiesel it sells, and within certain sectors, its stock.  The marketing plan plans to incorporate targeted advertising and direct mail, email marketing, and the sponsorship of events.  The Company intends to quickly establish its reputation as a leader in the Latin American biodiesel sector by demonstrating expertise at industry conferences and playing a supportive role to other biofuel ventures in the region.
 
AFAI plans to sell to a number of markets, in most cases with sales driven by regulation mandated blending requirements or end-user environmental considerations.  Among the markets the Company intends to sell biodiesel fuel to include:
 
 
·
Transportation (cars, truck fleets, bus fleets)
 
 
·
Aviation

 
27

 
 
 
·
Marine
 
 
·
Electricity Generation
 
The Company plans to target specific buying groups and work with them to create long term, volume purchasing agreements that will ensure a steady market and a healthy profit.  It should be noted that many of the necessary channels for sales and distribution are already in place and the Company needs only to properly leverage them.
 
Competition
 
The market for biofuels is emerging but is expected to be highly competitive.  The Company will likely face significant competition from other biofuel companies, as well as from more traditional energy and fuel companies which may enter the biofuels market.  Many of these competitors and potential competitors will have far greater experience, more extensive industry contacts and greater financial resources than the Company.
 
Employees
 
As of the date of this prospectus the Company has six employees including our Chief Operating Officer, Chief Science Officer, Chief Finance Officer, County Manager (Costa Rica) and two support staff. Additional employees will be hired in the future as our business expands. Our Chief Executive Officer will be transitioned from a consulting agreement to an employment agreement for 2012.
 
Properties
 
We do not own any real property.  We maintain office space at 2131 Hollywood Boulevard, Suite 401, Hollywood, Florida 33020, pursuant to the terms of a commercial office lease providing for rental payments of $1,200 per month.  The term of the office lease expires on January 31, 2013.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
Currently there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against us.  However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.  Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in any such matter may harm our business.

OTC Pink Market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions.
 
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask  price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and; (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 
29

 
 
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
 
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
 
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules.  Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
 
Holders of Our Common Stock
 
As of October 26, 2011, we have approximately 457 holders of record of our common stock.
 
Rule 144 Shares
 
Rule 144 provides that a person who is not an affiliate and has held restricted securities for a prescribed period of at least six months (if the issuer is a reporting company) or 12 months (if the issuer is a non-reporting company, as is the case herein), may, under certain conditions, sell all or any of his shares without volume limitation.  Affiliates, however, may not sell shares in excess of 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock in any three month period.  There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for the three months prior to sale) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for the aforementioned prescribed period of time.
 
However, Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of restricted securities initially issued by a blank-check or shell company, both before and after a business combination, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144.  As we were inoperative for a significant period prior to our acquisition in January 2010 we may be deemed to be a shell company.  Accordingly, such restricted securities can be resold only through a registered offering or pursuant to another exemption from registration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person who beneficially owns restricted securities of a company which:
 
(a)           has ceased to qualify as a blank-check or shell company;
 
(b)           is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
 
(c)           has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d), as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the company was required to file such reports and materials); and
 
(d)           has filed certain information with the SEC, (in our case, this registration statement) reflecting that it is no longer a blank-check or shell company;
 
may, after one year has elapsed from the effective date of this registration statement, within any three-month period resell a number of such restricted securities that does not, with respect to the ordinary shares, exceed the volume limitations set forth above.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Results of Operations
 
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
 
We had no revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs increased $280,073, or 145.0%, to $473,418 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $193,345 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  These costs represent professional fees and other office expenses.  The increase is attributable to the ramp up of professional fees needed to pursue our planned business strategy.
 
Non-operating expenses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 were $45,500 representing interest expense on our convertible notes.
 
Net losses for six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 were $518,918 and $238,845, respectively.
 
Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009
 
We had no revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs increased $64,908, or 30.0%, to $280,908 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $216,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  These costs represent professional fees and other office expenses.  The increase is attributable to the ramp up of professional fees needed to pursue our planned business strategy.
 
Non-operating expenses in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $91,000 representing interest expense on our convertible notes.
 
Net losses for years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $371,908 and $307,000, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2011, total current assets were $35,610 as compared to $72,072 on December 31, 2010.  The decrease in total current assets was attributable to the use of cash for operating activities during the first six months of 2011.  Total current liabilities remained relatively static at $1,665,979 when compared to the $1,550,479 balance as of December 31, 2010.
 
As of June 30, 2011, other assets were $20,000.
 
For the six month period ended June 30 2011, we raised $358,866 from the sale of 2,974,000 shares of our common stock in private offerings.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $387,418 in the first six months of 2011 compared to $218,529 for the same period in 2010. This changes principally results from our increased net loss from operation.
 
Net cash flow used in investment activities was $7,710 in the first six months of 2011 due primarily to the acquisition of certain assets compared with $0 for the same period in 2010.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2011 was $358,666 compared to $260,000 in the first six months of 2010.

 
31

 

Our primary source of capital to develop and implement our business plan has been from private placements of our securities.  During the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated approximately $572,510 and $358,666 from the sale of an aggregate of 5,570,000 and 2,974,000 shares of our common stock respectively, to “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933) at prices ranging from $.10 to $.50 per share.
 
The Company will require additional financing to complete development to commercially launch and market its planned products.  Our independent auditors report for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes an explanatory paragraph strategy that our lack of revenues and working capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue a growing concern.  While we are seeking to raise additional financing, either through government grants and loans or additional securities or offerings, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when needed, on favorable terms or otherwise.  Moreover, any such additional financing may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.  The absence of additional financing, when needed, could cause the Company to delay implementation of its business plan in whole or in part, curtail its business activities and seriously harm the Company and its prospects.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates included deferred revenue, costs incurred related to deferred revenue, the useful lives of property and equipment, the useful lives of intangible assets and accounting for the business combination.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Recorded financial instruments consist of accounts payable, short-term debt obligations, convertible debt and long-term debt obligations.  The related fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values due to either the short-term nature of these instruments or based on the interest rates currently available to the Company.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share are computed based on weighted average shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of the dilutive effect of debenture common stock equivalents and potentially convertible employee compensation.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws.  Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year.  In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies.  If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required.  Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
 
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit.  For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU ”) that is now part of the topic on Consolidations dealing with the consolidation of variable interest entities.  The new requirements change how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated and requires a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement.  The new requirements became effective on January 1, 2010.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows or financial position.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, to (i) provide guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (ii) require an allocation of revenue using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling price; and (iii) eliminate the residual method.  The update becomes effective on a prospective basis in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted.  The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements , that amends existing requirements to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality.  The update becomes effective on a prospective basis in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted.  The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, requiring additional disclosures on fair value measurements.  Disclosure requirements for transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy for fair value measurements, that became effective January 1, 2010, did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.  Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in a rollforward of activity for level 3 fair value measurements are deferred until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Revenue Recognition — Milestone Method , to provide guidance on (i) defining a milestone, and (ii) determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions.  The guidance becomes effective on a prospective basis for research and development milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted.  The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position.
 
In July 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, to expand disclosures for exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements, including credit risks involved in financing receivables and allowances for credit losses.  Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows or financial position.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued an ASU , Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, effective for business combinations occurring after December 15, 2010, and an ASU, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
There are no 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 is material to investors.

Employment Agreements
 
The Company is presently not party to any employment agreement with its executive officers. The Company is, however, party to a consulting agreement expiring on December 31, 2011, with Tudog International Consulting, of which firm Craig Frank, our President and CEO is Chairman and a principal.  The Company was also a party to a consulting agreement with Birch Capital, of which firm, Neil Swartz, our former CFO and a director, is Chief Executive Officer and a principal. Pursuant to the consulting agreements which were initially effective in January 2010, Messrs. Frank and Swartz provided executive services to the Company in exchange for a payment of $10,000 per month, which was increased to $15,000 per month effective January 2011. They are also entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses. The consulting agreements provide for non-competition and non-disclosure provisions.
 
The consulting agreement with Birch Capital terminated upon Mr. Swartz's resignation as our CFO and director in August 2011. The board of directors intends to replace its consulting agreement with Tudog International Consulting with an employment agreement with Mr. Frank on comparable terms.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Related Party Transactions
 
In January 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc., a Florida corporation, from Craig Frank and Neil Swartz, the shareholders of such company in exchange for 50,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued to each of such individuals.  As a result, Messrs. Frank and Swartz became our principal stockholders and key executive officers.  Mr. Swartz resigned as an officer and director in August 2011.
 
In addition to the issuances of shares of common stock to our directors, as described in "Executive Compensation" above, in 2011 we issued 100,000 shares to Tim Hart, our CFO, 2,000,000 shares to Samuel Stern, our COO and 100,000 shares to Dr. Arup San, a key employee.
 
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
 
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we had not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with our executive officers, directors and significant shareholders.  However, we intend that such transactions will, on a going-forward basis, be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our board of directors, or an appropriate committee thereof.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
Capital Stock
 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001.
 
Common Stock
 
As of the date of this prospectus, 21,424,798 shares of common stock are issued as outstanding.  The shares of common stock presently outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable.  Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share owned on all matters voted upon by stockholders, and a majority vote is required for all actions to be taken by shareholders.  In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our operations, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in our assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all our debts and liabilities and the liquidation preference of any shares of preferred stock that may then be outstanding.  The common stock has no preemptive rights, no cumulative voting rights, and no redemption, sinking fund, or conversion provisions.
 
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available for such purpose, subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may then be outstanding.

 
42

 

Preferred Stock
 
General   Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series.  While our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws do not contain any provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or make removal of our management more difficult.
 
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock   We currently have outstanding 100,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Preferred Shares ”).  The Preferred Shares are held equally by Craig Frank, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Neil Swartz, our former Chief Financial Officer.
 
Dividends   Holders of Preferred Series are not entitled to receive cumulative or non-cumulative dividends on the Preferred Shares, provided, however, that if the board of directors declares a dividend on our common stock out of funds legally available therefore, holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to participate in such dividend in the same proportion to which they would be entitles if the Preferred Shares were converted into shares of our common stock (an “ as converted basis ”).
 
Liquidation Preference    In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to be paid out of assets available for the distribution on an amount equal to $1.00 per Preferred Share, plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends prior to any payment of dividends to the holders of shares of any other junior series or class of our capital stock.  If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the assets available for distribution shall be insufficient to pay holders of the Preferred Shares their full liquidation preference and accrued but unpaid dividends, the amount of such assets shall be shared ratably by holders of the Preferred Shares.
 
The merger of consolidation of the Company into or with another corporation or other entity or any other corporate reorganization in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization, the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or a transaction or series of related transaction by the Company in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of our voting power is transferred, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
 
Conversion   Holders of Preferred Shares may convert their Preferred Shares in whole or in part at any time and from time to time into shares of common stock on a basis of 433.93 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock (the “ Conversion Ratio ”).  The Conversion Ratio will be subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar recapitalizations.
 
Voting Rights    Holders of Preferred Shares have the right to vote on an “ as converted basis ” together with holders of common stock as a single class unless otherwise required by Delaware law.
 
Preemptive Rights    Holders of Preferred Shares do not have preemptive rights.
 
8% Secured Convertible Notes In 2007, we issued a total of $650,000 in 8% convertible notes to a single investor.  The notes provided for payments of interest only until July 18, 2007, the original maturity date, and were convertible into our common stock at a price of $.015 per share and are secured by a first lien on our assets.  In January 2010, the notes were assigned to Ilan Sarid, a Canadian investor who agreed to extend the maturity date of the notes to December 31, 2011.
 
Transfer Agent
 
The transfer agent for our common stock is Pacific Stock Transfer Company.  The transfer agent’s address is 4045 South Spencer Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119, and its telephone number is (702) 361-3033.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

In accordance with the provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation, we will indemnify an officer, director, or former officer or director, to the full extent permitted by law.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Alternative Fuels America, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Alternative Fuels America, Inc. (a State of Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 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 Alternative Fuels America, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company's dependence on outside financing, lack of sufficient working capital, and recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company's 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 these uncertainties.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS AMERICAS INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010
(Information related to June 30, 2010 and 2011 is Unaudited)
 
Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Organization
 
Alternative Fuels Americas Inc. (the “ Company ”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 22, 1993 under the name Sterling Partners Inc. On January 21, 1999 a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed changing the Company’s name from Sterling Partners Inc. to GourmetMarket.com, Inc. On January 29, 1999 a Certificate of Merger was filed whereby GourmetMarket.com, Inc., the Company, merged with GourmetMarket.com, a California entity with the Company being the surviving entity. On August 8, 2001 a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed issuing the Company’s name to TargitInteractive, Inc.  On May, 11, 2007 a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed changing the Company’s name to NetSpace International Holdings, Inc. and entered into the development stage. The Company, operating under a franchise model, provided Internet marketing solutions to small and medium sized enterprises with services that included website design and development, information technology infrastructure, and e-commerce systems. Additionally, the Company provided project management, search engine optimization, e-mail marketing, Web hosting, and financing solutions.  In November 2007, the Company revamped its operations by (a) moving away from the franchise model, (b) adopting the use of website templates to streamline production and ease the customer interaction process, and (c) shifting its sales and marketing effort to either a multi-level model or a straight sale model. In January 2010, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc, a Florida Corporation and commenced its present business.  On October 13, 2010 a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed changing Company’s name to Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc.
 
Business and Nature of Operations

The Company is a development stage company which intends to be a “seed to pump” biofuels company focusing on Latin America.  As a “seed to pump” biofuels company, we plan to be involved in every phase of the biofuels production process, from growing plants suitable for conversion into biofuels, to extracting crude oils from plant matter and ultimately refining crude oil into international grade biodiesel and selling it to end users.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates included deferred revenue, costs incurred related to deferred revenue, the useful lives of property and equipment, the useful lives of intangible assets and accounting for the business combination.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recorded financial instruments consist of accounts payable, short-term debt obligations, convertible debt and long-term debt obligations.  The related fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values due to either the short-term nature of these instruments or based on the interest rates currently available to the Company.

 
F-7

 

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed based on weighted average shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of the dilutive effect of debenture common stock equivalents and potentially convertible employee compensation.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
 
Note 2.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that is now part of the topic on Consolidations dealing with the consolidation of variable interest entities. The new requirements change how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated and requires a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. The new requirements became effective on January 1, 2010. Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows or financial position.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, to (i) provide guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (ii) require an allocation of revenue using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling price; and (iii) eliminate the residual method. The update becomes effective on a prospective basis in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements , that amends existing requirements to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality. The update becomes effective on a prospective basis in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, requiring additional disclosures on fair value measurements. Disclosure requirements for transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy for fair value measurements, that became effective January 1, 2010, did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in a rollforward of activity for level 3 fair value measurements are deferred until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position.

 
F-8

 

In April 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Revenue Recognition — Milestone Method , to provide guidance on (i) defining a milestone, and (ii) determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. The guidance becomes effective on a prospective basis for research and development milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position.

In July 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, to expand disclosures for exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements, including credit risks involved in financing receivables and allowances for credit losses. Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows or financial position.

In December 2010, the FASB issued an ASU , Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, effective for business combinations occurring after December 15, 2010, and an ASU, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect that adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations and cash flows or financial position 

Note 3. Going Concern
 
At December 31, 2010, the Company had a net working capital deficiency of $1,478,407 and has no cash flows from operating activities in fiscal 2010.  The Company acknowledges that current operations may not allow the Company to generate positive working capital in the near future.  On January 6, 2010, NetSpace International Holdings, Inc. acquired Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc., in a merger transaction.  Although management believes that it will be able to successfully execute its business plan, which includes third party financing and capital issuance, and meet the Company’s future liquidity needs, there can be no assurances in that regard.
 
Note 4. Property and equipment

 Property and equipment consist of the following at December 31, 2010:

Office Furniture
  $ 9,933  
Less: Accumulated depreciation
    (500 )
    $ 9,433  

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $500.

Note 5.  Convertible Promissory Notes

The Company issued $650,000 of convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 8% per annum (14% default rate) and payable upon the merger of the Former NetSpace as part of a $1,000,000 line of credit. The convertible promissory notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.015 per share. In accordance with ASC 470-20 (Debt with Conversion and Other Options), the Company determined that the convertible promissory notes did not have a beneficial conversion feature. The convertible promissory notes meet the definition of “conventional convertible debt” because the number of shares which may be issued upon the conversion of the debt is fixed. Since July 2008, the Company has been accruing interest at 14% default rate. The holder of the note has not pursued any remedies available to them since the note is past due.

Note 6.  Common and Preferred Stock Transactions

On January 6, 2010 the NetSpace International Holdings, Inc. acquired Alternative Fuels Americas, in a stock for member interest transaction. In exchange for 100% of the member interest in Alternative Fuels Americas the Company issued 100,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. This stock is convertible into 43,392,940 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the company issued 5,967,247 shares of its common stock to the existing shareholders and convertible promissory note holder of NetSpace International Holdings. In that both of these company’s were inactive at the time a nominal value was ascribed to the transaction.

On July 27, 2010 the Company effectuated a 200 for 1 reverse stock split. All share and per share numbers reflect this transaction.

During 2010 the Company issued 5,570,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $572,500.

In 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with two consultants to settle their outstanding payable of $200,000 in exchange for 86,890 shares of common stock. This common stock issued in this transaction was valued at $0.10 per share, the fair market value of the stock at the time.

During 2011 the Company issued 2,974,190 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $358,666.

During 2011 the Company issued consultants 3,030,000 shares of common stock. The shares were valued at $15,000, the fair market value of the stock at the time.

Note 7.  Income taxes

The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

   
December 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Long-term deferred tax assets:
           
Net operating loss carryforward
    713,034       582,866  
Total long-term deferred tax assets
    713,034       582,866  
Valuation allowance
    (713,034 )     (582,866 )
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)
  $ -     $ -  

The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying statutory rates to income before income taxes principally because of the of the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain.

The effective tax rates for 2010 and 2009 were computed by applying the federal and state statutory corporate tax rates as follows:

   
Year Ended
 
   
December 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Statutory Federal income tax rate
    35 %     35 %
Less valuation allowance
    -35 %     -35 %
      0 %     0 %

 
F-10

 

Our Federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forward balance as of December 31, 2010 was $2,037,000, expiring between 2011 and 2030.  NOL utilization may be subject to a limitation contained in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The recapitalization in 2007 and subsequent stock issuances may have substantially limited or eliminated the opportunity to utilize our NOL carryforwards. Management has reviewed the provisions of ASC 740 regarding assessment of their valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and based on that criteria determined that it does not have sufficient taxable income to offset those assets.  Therefore, Management has assessed the realization of the deferred tax assets and has determined that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.  The change in the valuation allowance from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 was approximately $130,000.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, previously FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes , on January 1, 2007. Previously the Company has accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The statute of limitations is still open on years 2007 and subsequent. The Company recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than–not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date the Company applied ASC 740 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company did not recognize a material increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions.
 
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various states. The tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2007.
 
Note 8.  Commitments and Contingencies

In November 2007 the Company entered into two employment agreements with consultants. The agreements require an annual payment of $48,000. The parties agreed that the compensation may be converted into the common stock of the Company. As of December 31, 2010 conversions have taken place in settlement of both agreements for 86,890 shares of common stock.

In November 2007, and amended January 1, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with an outside firm to assist in the development and implementation of its business plan. The agreement requires monthly payments of $15,000 per month.  On January 1, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with another outside firm to provide corporate, financial and strategic council. The agreement requires monthly payments of $15,000 per month.

In 2011, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with two individuals to assist in the development and implementation of its business plan. The agreement requires monthly payments of $10,000 per month in cash or stock at the discretion of the Company.

In 2011, the Company entered into a two year lease for office space in Hollywood, Florida. The lease calls for monthly payments of $1,200.

Note 9.  Subsequent Events

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
1.           To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
 
(a)           to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(b)           to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and Notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation From the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.; and
 
(c)           to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
2.           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
3.           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and shall indicate that it is being issued by, or at the direction of, the person or persons calling the meeting. If, at any meeting, action is proposed to be taken that would, if taken, entitle shareholders to receive payment for their shares pursuant to Statute, the notice of such meeting shall include a statement of that purpose and to that effect. If mailed, such notice shall be directed to each such shareholder at his address, as it appears on the records of the shareholders of the Corporation, unless he shall have previously filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices intended for him be mailed to the address designated in such request.

The withdrawal of any shareholder after the commencement of a meeting shall have no effect on the existence of a quorum, after a quorum has been established at such meeting.
 
(b)           Despite the absence of a quorum at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, the shareholders, by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon, may adjourn the meeting.

Such instrument shall be exhibited to the Secretary at the meeting and shall be filed with the records of the Corporation.
 
(d)           Any resolution in writing, signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, shall be and constitute action by such shareholders to the effect therein expressed, with the same force and effect as if the same had been duly passed by unanimous vote at a duly called meeting of shareholders and such resolution so signed shall be inserted in the Minute Book of the Corporation under its proper date.

(b)           The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by law.
 
Section 4 - Record Date:
 
In lieu of closing the share records of the Corporation, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date not exceeding fifty days, nor less than ten days, as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders, or to consent to any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividends, or allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other action.

Section 2 - By Directors:
 
The Board of Directors shall have power to make, adopt, alter, amend and repeal, from time to time, by-laws of the Corporation; provided, however, that the shareholders entitled to vote with respect thereto as in this Article IX above-provided may alter, amend or repeal by-laws made by the Board of Directors, except that the Board of Directors shall have no power to change the quorum for meetings of shareholders or of the Board of Directors, or to change any provisions of the by-laws with respect to the removal of directors or the filling of vacancies in the Board resulting from the removal by the shareholders. If any by-law regulating an impending election of directors is adopted, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors, there shall be set forth in the notice of the next meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, the by-law so adopted, amended or repealed, together with a concise statement of the changes made.

(c)           The amount of indemnity to which any officer or any director may be entitled shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, except that in any case where there is no disinterested majority of the Board available, the amount shall be fixed by arbitration pursuant to then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association.
