ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Summary

Two Rivers has developed and operates a revolutionary new water business model suitable for arid regions in the southwestern United States whereby the Company synergistically integrates irrigated farming and wholesale water distribution into one company, utilizing a practice of rotational farm fallowing.  Rotational farm fallowing, as it applies to water, is a best methods farm practice whereby portions of farm acreage are temporarily fallowed in cyclic rotation to give soil an opportunity to reconstitute itself.  As a result of fallowing, an increment of irrigation water can be made available for municipal use without permanently drying up irrigated farmland.  Collaborative rotational farm fallowing agreements between farmers and municipalities make surplus irrigation water available for urban use during droughts and, conversely, make surplus urban water available for irrigation during relatively wet periods. The Company produces and markets high value vegetable and fodder crops on its irrigated farmland and provides wholesale water distribution through farm fallowing agreements in its initial area of focus on the Arkansas River and its tributaries on the southern Front Range of Colorado.

Page 2



Two Rivers operates in the Arkansas River Basin, which includes the watershed of the two rivers for which the Company is named, the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers.  This combined watershed of the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers encompasses approximately 1,860 square miles and extends from the eastern crest of the Continental Divide in the Spanish Peaks and Sangre de Christo Mountains to the Huerfano River’s confluence with the Arkansas River, just downstream of Pueblo, Colorado.  The elevations in the two rivers’ watershed thus begin at more than 14,000 feet above sea level to approximately 4,500 feet at the confluence.  As noted, the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers are tributaries of the Arkansas River, which, in turn, is a tributary of the Mississippi River.  The Arkansas River Basin is subject to legal administration under the 1948 compact between Colorado and Kansas.

Since beginning operations in 2009, Two Rivers has invested approximately $40,000,000 acquiring and developing irrigated farmland and the associated water rights and infrastructure.  The Company has begun negotiations with Pueblo Board of Water Works and Colorado Springs Utilities to acquire, engineer and build gravel pit storage reservoirs on lands just east of the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek in Pueblo County, Colorado.  The gravel pit reservoirs will enable the exchange of trans-mountain water between the Company’s farming operations on the Bessemer Ditch and the Huerfano Cucharas Irrigation Company (HCIC) canal systems in Pueblo County.  By delivering excess municipal water to the HCIC canal systems, the Company can reintroduce water onto 3,000 acres of fallow farmland it owns and as much as 20,000 additional acres of land the Company can acquire.  We are beginning the acquisition and development of reservoir storage on permitted gravel pits in a strategic location just east of the convergence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek in the vicinity of Pueblo, Colorado.  Development of these water storage reservoirs will significantly enhance our ability to implement rotational farm fallowing in conjunction with municipalities on the Arkansas River.

In 2012, Two Rivers made a significant acquisition of irrigated farmland.  Two Rivers acquired Dionisio Farms & Produce (“DFP”), which consistently produces high value fruits and vegetables and animal fodder crops on 353 acres irrigated by the Bessemer Ditch off the Arkansas River.  As an illustration of DFP’s ability to consistently produce crops, during the 2012 widespread United States drought and heat wave, DFP produced 200+ bushels of corn per acre, while the national average for corn production fell to 120+ bushels of corn per acre.  Russ Dionisio serves as the Chief Operating Officer of Two Rivers Farms and is responsible for all farming operations of Two Rivers.

The Company owns 91% of the Huerfano Cucharas Irrigation Company and thereby controls certain water rights, water storage facilities, and diversion canals which will enable exclusive redevelopment of 20,000+ irrigable acres in an area adjacent to DFP.  Through the development of new reservoirs on the Arkansas River in collaboration with other water users, Two Rivers has a unique and sustainable economic advantage and opportunity within our Southeastern Colorado sphere of farm operations.  The Company’s water assets also have inherent advantages compared to other water assets which are tributary to the Arkansas River as a result of our assets’ seniority, entitlements, elevation and proximity to Front Range communities and water conveyance facilities.  To capitalize on these advantages, the Company expects to build and refurbish storage reservoirs which, together with our diversion rights and facilities will allow us to store an additional 75,000 acre-feet of water (over and above the 15,000 acre-feet of currently operable water storage) in our area of operations within the next five years.  The additional water storage will provide reliability during dry years and dry seasons, enabling the Company to expand our farming operations to maintain balance between irrigable land and available irrigation water.  The development of much needed storage reservoirs in the area will allow the Company to offer storage to other water users in the area.  Through water exchanges and other water-related transactions, the reservoirs can potentially increase and strengthen the Company’s existing water rights.

Our Water Business

The Value of Water in Colorado

Along the Front Range of Colorado, water is a scarce and valuable resource.  Natural precipitation varies widely throughout the year and from one year to another.  Rivers, which flood with the spring melt from the mountain snowpack, may be refreshed only with the occasional thunderstorm in the heat of the summer growing season.  Annual precipitation also varies between surplus and drought.  Additionally, the large majority of Colorado’s population resides on the Front Range (east of the Continental Divide) while the large majority of the State’s precipitation falls on the Western Slope (west of the Divide).  Over time, many communities, farms and enterprises developed trans-mountain diversions to bring more water to the Front Range.  Precipitation on the Front Range, and water diverted from the Western Slope, drain to the Mississippi River through the South Platte and Arkansas Rivers.  Water on the Western Slope drains through the Colorado River.  All of the State’s rivers are administered pursuant to interstate compacts with neighboring states.  As a result of the variability of Colorado’s hydrology, its arrangements for diversions, storage and beneficial use, and its obligations to downstream states, Colorado has developed an integrated and complex water rights administration system.

In Colorado and the Western United States, the right to use water is based on the Prior Appropriation Doctrine which is often referred to as “first in time, first in right.”  Under this doctrine, water use is allocated to satisfy the oldest (“most senior”) water right before water is allocated to the next water right in historic chronology (a “junior water right” in comparison to a water right perfected earlier).  Moreover, in Colorado, water rights and their relative priorities are protected by judicial decrees and are administered by the Office of the State Engineer (the “State Engineer”) within the Colorado Department of Water Resources (“DWR”).  The ability to consistently irrigate farmland, and thus avoid the inconsistencies of rainfall, is therefore tied to the relative seniority of historic water rights.  Two Rivers is focused on developing irrigated farmland and maximizing beneficial use of the water rights associated with that farmland.

To manage water uses according to the Prior Appropriation Doctrine, Colorado maintains both judicial oversight through regional water courts and administrative oversight through the State Engineer.  Water rights claims are filed in the court, adjudicated as necessary to resolve any adverse claims, and then decreed though an enforceable judgment.  The State Engineer is charged with administering the accorded priorities among the various water rights in each of the State’s river systems.

Colorado water law further recognizes two distinct but related prior appropriative rights: direct diversion rights and storage rights. Direct diversion rights permit a user in priority to divert water directly from the river for immediate beneficial use (such as irrigation); storage rights permit a user in priority to divert water from the river and impound the water in a reservoir to re-time the water for later beneficial use.  Thus, in Colorado, a direct diversion right must be conveyed to an immediate use; it cannot be stored without a storage right.  As a result, both types of appropriative rights are often paired, when possible, so that in priority diversion rights can be re-timed through the exercise of a companion storage right to address seasonal and year-to-year variability in natural supplies.  The older the appropriation date of any water right, the more reliable is its yield; similarly, the more effectively a senior diversion right is paired with a senior storage right, the more reliable each becomes.

Administration of Water Rights

In addition to the intra-state administration of water flowing in its rivers, Colorado also has inter-state water administration responsibilities because each of its major rivers (the Colorado, the North Platte and the Arkansas) is governed as well by interstate compacts with downstream states.  These compacts are subject to judicial review, interpretation and enforcement under the original jurisdiction of the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve disputes among the states.  In 1948, Colorado and Kansas reached an agreement that apportioned the water of the Arkansas River; Colorado was apportioned 60% of the water while Kansas is apportioned 40% of the River’s flow (Colorado Foundation for Water Education, 2009, p. 23).  In order to comply with Colorado’s obligations under the Arkansas River Compact, therefore, water rights on the Arkansas and its tributaries (including the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers) are administered to assure the Compact-required water flows at the Colorado-Kansas state line.  When necessary, Colorado’s in-state uses are curtailed, in order of priority, to assure compliance with the Compact.

The interstate compacts (beginning with the Colorado River Compact of 1922) increased Colorado’s need to husband its apportioned water to meet the needs of its growing population along the Front Range.  Trans-basin diversions (primarily tunnels and canals) were developed, under the Prior Appropriation Doctrine, to divert water from one watershed for conveyance to and use in another.  Mainly, water from the Colorado River Basin, west of the Continental Divide, was diverted east to meet the water needs along the earlier developing Front Range by so-called “conservancy districts”.  These projects began in the 1930’s and, although many have been in operation for decades, some remain incomplete (Driscoll, 2011, p. 3).  Increasingly, further trans-basin diversions are limited not only by competing appropriative water rights in the basins of origin but also by increasingly stringent environmental restrictions.

Stymied in their attempts to import additional surface water from distant watersheds, some municipalities and water providers began to rely on inherently unsustainable groundwater “mining” (depleting aquifers for current consumption at a rate in excess of the rate at which natural recharge occurs).  After decades of such groundwater mining, many of the aquifers on the Front Range have been severely depleted.  Some municipalities also purchased farms with water diversion rights and then ceased irrigating the farmland, transferring the water to their urban uses.  Because neither the practice of groundwater mining nor the practice of “buying up and drying up” farmland is sustainable, Colorado law has placed limits and regulations on both practices.

Recognizing the need for additional water sources along the Front Range, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (“CWCB”) published its 2050 Municipal and Industrial Gap Analysis in 2011 .   This report estimates that the Arkansas and South Platte Basins (essentially the Front Range) will have a combined average annual supply shortage of 130,000 acre-feet 1 of water by 2050 (Colorado Water Conservation Board, 2011, p. table 2.2).  The difficulty and expense of incremental trans-mountain diversions coupled with the unsustainability of groundwater mining and agricultural-to-urban transfers—as documented by the CWCB—motivates Front Range water purveyors to address the projected gap and to identify and develop inherently scarce renewable sources of water.

As early as 2005, the Colorado General Assembly created basin roundtables to convene regional water purveyors to address the looming municipal supply gap.  The roundtables were charged to identify “projects and methods to meet the consumptive and non-consumptive needs of the basin.” (Colorado House Bill 05-1177).  The potential solutions include Identified Plans and Process (“IPP’s”), Conservation, New Supply Development and Alternatives to Agricultural Transfers.

The Arkansas River Basin Roundtable has only a few IPPs to meet the water supply gap identified in its basin.  The most significant of the Arkansas Basin IPPs is the Southern Delivery System (SDS), an $800 million, 62-mile water supply pipeline and associated pumping plants currently under construction by a consortium of four regional water purveyors including Colorado Springs. These purveyors will use a portion of the capacity in the SDS to transport water made available to each of them under their respective contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR).  (U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation, 2005, p.1)  The SDS connects USBR’s Pueblo Reservoir on the Arkansas River, the point of delivery under the USBR contracts, with the purveyors’ service areas. (Colorado Springs Utilities, 2009)
 
 
In order to address a portion of the identified gap between forecast supply and demand within the Arkansas Basin and to provide a substitute source of water for Front Range communities that are too reliant on depleted groundwater aquifers, the design and planning for the SDS anticipate that other water purveyors will subscribe for pipeline capacity to transport renewable water supplies to their service areas.  (Recommended Terms and Conditions and Mitigation of Project Impacts, Southern Delivery System 1041 Application, March 18, 2009)

The Company has commenced discussions with some of these purveyors to determine whether the Company’s water storage and management assets can be integrated with other water resources to meet a portion of the identified gap between forecast supply and demand along the Front Range.  In order to facilitate such collaborative regional water resource planning, in late 2011, the Company filed a water court case seeking authorization for routine exchanges of water between the Company’s storage facilities in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed and the main stem of the Arkansas River.  Through such exchanges, the water management infrastructure developed for and dedicated to the Company’s Farming Business could also support management of the urban water districts’ demand by delivering water to the SDS for transport to such districts’ service areas.  In February of 2012, the Office of the State Engineer administratively approved such exchanges as part of the Company’s substitute water supply plan (SWSP).  The SWSP is expected to remain in effect until the water court adjudicates the Company’s case.  Although no water management agreement has yet been reached, the Company believes that, based on the identified demand for renewable water supplies and the availability of conveyance capacity in the SDS, we will be able to negotiate mutually satisfactory water management contracts with one or more of these purveyors.

*   A conditional right is a place holder while the engineering and construction of structures are completed to perfect a water right, in this case, to physically store the water.  The conditional right establishes a seniority date but allows time for completion of the project.  Conditional rights are reviewed every six years by the water court to confirm that progress is being made on the effort to perfect the right.  When a conditional water right is perfected, which can be done incrementally in the case of storage, the water right becomes absolute.

Two Rivers Water, LLC (“TR Water”)

During 2011, the Company formed TR Water to secure additional water rights, rehabilitate water diversion, conveyance and storage facilities and to develop one or more special water districts.

The Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company (“HCIC”)

In order to supply its farms with irrigation water, the Company began to acquire shares in the HCIC Company, a historic mutual ditch company formed by area farmers in order to develop and put to use their water rights on the two rivers.  At the time HCIC was formed in 1944, the water in the two rivers was continuously augmented by groundwater pumped from coal mines that operated in the watershed.  The augmented and natural flow of the rivers, along with the water rights and facilities of HCIC Company were sufficient to provide reliable irrigation water for the shareholders and their expanding farm enterprises.  However, in the years following World War II, the mines began to cease production and, therefore, stopped pumping groundwater out of the mine shafts and into the river channels.  As a result of the reduction in downstream flow in the rivers, the extent of farming in the watershed could no longer be reliably irrigated.  In some years, crops failed for lack of late summer irrigation water and, over time, once thriving farms withered.  Because of such failures and the reduced flow in the rivers, the shareholders of HCIC were unable or unwilling to adequately maintain the water diversion, conveyance and storage facilities.  Therefore, at the time the Company decided to invest in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed, the shares in HCIC had become less valuable and the residual farming in the area had reverted primarily to pasture and dry grazing.

Beginning in 2009, the Company systematically acquired shares in HCIC and, as of December 31, 2010, had acquired 91% of the shares, which it continues to own.   The shares were acquired from willing sellers in a series of arm’s length, negotiated transactions for cash, promissory notes, and the Company’s common shares.  As the controlling shareholder, the Company currently operates HCIC and has undertaken a long-term program to refurbish and restore the historic water management facilities.  Based on management’s estimate of value, which included management’s consideration of an independent appraisal, we determined that the Company’s interest in HCIC had a book value, measured through fair value accounting, of $24,196,000, on December 31, 2011.  HCIC’s assets, liabilities and results are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

Orlando is a Colorado limited liability company originally formed to divert water from the Huerfano River, for storage in the Orlando Reservoir to be re-timed and used for irrigation of farmland in Huerfano and Pueblo Counties.  At the time the Company began investing in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed, Orlando owned the historic diversion structure, a conveyance system and a reservoir and also owned a small amount of irrigable farmland.  However, the water facilities were in deteriorated condition.  Beginning in January, 2011, through a series of transactions, the latest of which closed on September 7, 2011, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Orlando (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TR Water) for a combination of cash, stock and seller-financing.  Promptly following the acquisition, the Company began the program for refurbishing the facilities to restore their operating efficiency.  The stated purchase price for Orlando was $3,450,000; however, for reporting the financial statements dated September 30, 2011 (and pending the results of an independent appraisal), the purchase price was computed as $3,156,750 based on cash paid, the seller carry-back note and 650,000 of the Company’s common shares issued to the seller.  The purchase price was allocated $3,000,000 to water assets and $100,000 to farm land.  The Company also recorded a forgiveness of debt of $384,000, which was computed as the difference between the cash paid plus the Company’s stock issued to the sellers plus the new seller carry back note less the previous note owed to the seller.

Following the purchase of Orlando and considering the refurbishment already underway, the Orlando was independently appraised as of January 16, 2012 at $5,195,000, considering agricultural irrigation as its highest and best use.  The gain from the bargain purchase of $1,736,000 was allocated $1,520,000 to water assets and $216,000 to land.

The Orlando assets include not only the reservoir, but also the senior-most direct flow water right on the Huerfano River (the #1 priority), along with the #9 priority and miscellaneous junior water rights.  These water rights are now integrated with the Company’s other water rights on the Huerfano and Cucharas River to optimize the natural water supply.  In addition, the water storage rights, and the physical storage reservoirs, are critical to water supply reliability in the watershed, because the storage system allows the natural spring runoff from snowmelt to be captured and re-timed for delivery to irrigate crops throughout the growing season.  Coupled with the Company’s distribution facilities and farmland, these water diversion and storage rights increase the reliability of water supplies to irrigate and grow our crops.

Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc. (“DFP”)

As part of the purchase of DFP, the Company acquired 146 shares in the Bessemer Irrigating Ditch Company, which manages and administers the water rights in the Bessemer Ditch.  The Bessemer Ditch holds very senior water rights on the Arkansas River.  The Bessemer Ditch has sustained the Dionisio farm operations for more than 60 years, through all hydrological and weather cycles.

The Company’s purchase of DFP is further described herein under the heading “Our Farming”.

Storage Reservoirs and Infrastructure

As part of its comprehensive water and farming system, the Company owns and operates storage reservoirs and ditches.  Reservoirs allow water owners to store their water and plan the water’s distribution throughout the growing season.  Currently, the Company owns reservoirs associated with HCIC and Orlando, but is also planning to develop additional reservoirs in strategic locations in the Arkansas River watershed.  The Company is also acquiring land that can be utilized for significant water storage reservoirs.  The development of much needed storage reservoirs in the area will allow the Company to offer storage to other water users in the area.  Through water exchanges and other water-related transactions, the reservoirs can potentially increase and strengthen the Company’s existing water rights.

On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired land just downstream of the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek.  This land includes permitted gravel pits which the Company expects to convert to water storage reservoirs.  The Company is planning to build a 30,000 AF storage project at this property that would be developed in conjunction with existing water users.  This reservoir will support farming operations on the Arkansas River undertaken by us and by others.

The storage reservoirs and infrastructure associated with HCIC and the Orlando are described above under the headings “The   Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company” and “Orlando Reservoir No. 2 Company, LLC”.

All of the Two Rivers’ reservoirs are used for irrigation in a similar manner to other reservoirs in the region, with the exception of Pueblo Reservoir which was also constructed for flood control.  Direct flow rights are generally senior to most storage rights but typically do not divert early in the spring when storage rights fill.  The Arkansas River below Pueblo Reservoir also operates a Winter Storage Program that re-allocates winter direct flow rights to storage in reservoirs from November 15 to March 15 each year.  The Bessemer Ditch has the ability to store water in the Pueblo Reservoir through the Winter Storage Program.

Because the Company’s water rights and operating structures are located at succeeding elevations in the watershed, the system moves water supplies from point of diversion, through storage, to place of use primarily by means of gravity, making the Company’s system far more economical to operate than systems requiring energy to pump water for beneficial use.

In order to use these rights and structures most efficiently, the Company has planned and begun to implement a program of renovation and integration.  For example, the Company began construction of new outlet works for the 1905 Orlando Reservoir in November of 2011.  The work was completed and successfully tested in February of 2012, approximately a year after the Company’s acquisition.  Also in February of 2012, the Company commenced re-construction of the diversion structure, which takes water from the Huerfano River for storage in the Orlando reservoir, and to irrigate the Company’s nearby farmland.  Pictures of the recent projects are posted on the Company’s website, http://www.2riverswater.com/projects.html .   Additional water facility renovation projects are planned on a phased basis as necessary to provide reliable irrigation for the Company’s expanding farming operations.

As of the date of this report, the Company has the operable right to store approximately 15,000 acre-feet of water within the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers watershed in three separate reservoirs.  When the Company’s reservoirs on the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers are fully restored, we will have the operable capacity and legal right to store in excess of 70,000 acre-feet of water.  Similarly, based on its portfolio of water rights, some of which are more senior than others, the Company has the right to divert from the natural flows of the two rivers in excess of 90 cubic feet per second.  Seasonal variability in the natural flow of the rivers, as well as the priorities of other water users in the system, limits the Company’s ability to divert the decreed amounts of water on a continuous basis.  The Company’s current water rights produce a long-term historic average annual diversion of approximately 15,000 acre-feet of water which provides approximately 10,000 acre-feet of consumptive use at the plant.

The 15,000 acre-feet average is based on a 50+ year period of record and also relies on historic studies of these rights by a variety of engineers at various times.  It is common practice within the water industry in Colorado to use long periods of time to create reliable averages of water flow.  The Company believes that using averages relating to only recent years can be misleading.  If one of those years was particularly dry or wet, it would skew the averages.  For example, in four out of the last ten years, there has been an extreme drought in the Western United States and in the Arkansas River watershed, our area of operations.  Due to this drought condition, our flow  averages for the most recent ten, five and three fiscal years are 8,200 AF, 10,500 AF and 10,400 AF, respectfully.  A similar request for the same averages for the decade beginning in 1980 would be about approximately 15,900 AF, 18,500 AF and 17,200 AF.

“Consumptive use” is the term for the portion of a water diversion right that is actually consumed by its beneficial use.  Where the beneficial use is agricultural irrigation, consumptive use represents the amount of water consumed by the irrigated crop or evaporated on the farm.  After deducting consumptive use from the amount of water diverted and applied to irrigation, the remainder is described as “return flow” to the system.  Such return flows are generally subject to appropriation downstream.  Only the consumptive use portion of a given water right is subject to transfer (that is, a change in the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use).  Therefore, water rights are often assigned monetary value based on the consumptive use portion.  Although consumptive use varies by crop, rainfall, temperature and other factors, in Southeastern Colorado, crops generally consume about two acre-feet of applied water for each acre planted.  In order to provide that amount of consumptive use water, an irrigator must generally apply three acre feet of water (allowing for predictable return flow equal to about one-third of the applied water).  The Company measures its water rights both in terms of the amount of the diversion or storage right, as the case may be, but also in terms of the historic consumptive use.

Other Water Transactions and Matters

On September 20, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year lease with the Pueblo Board of Water Works for 500 acre-feet of water to be delivered annually by PBWW to the Company.  The Company planned to use the water to support farming but also to demonstrate the ability to store such water in the Company’s reservoirs through a judicially-approved exchange.  In late 2011, the Company filed two water court cases (District Court, Water Division 2, Colorado) designed to improve the overall efficiency of the Company’s emerging system (including the ability to exchange water between the Arkansas River and the Company’s storage reservoirs).

The first water court case, designated 11CW94, seeks approval of the Company’s plan to divert and store water even when its rights are not in priority by replacing the water downstream pursuant to the PBWW lease.  Although the water court’s ultimate approval to routinely carry out such an exchange awaits the completion of the judicial process, the State Engineer administratively granted a temporary substitute water supply plan (“SWSP”) implementing such an exchange during the interim until the case is adjudicated.  Under the SWSP, the Company will be allowed to capture Huerfano River water for upstream storage and later use, even when our rights are not in priority.  To avoid injury to senior water rights which have priority over the Company’s rights during the period of the exchange, the PBWW will release water pursuant to the replacement water contract upon the order of the Company.  By means of such exchanges, the Company plans to eventually integrate its water supply system with the overall water use and delivery systems served by the Arkansas River and its tributaries.
 
 
The second water court case, 11CW96, seeks changes to the place of use and point of diversion for the Robert Rice Ditch (Water Right No. 19).  The proposed changes would not only increase the flexibility of the Company’s water system but would also make Company water available to augment supplies for the Huerfano County town of Gardner.  The second water court case seeks to allow the Robert Rice Ditch direct diversion water right to be moved to storage in the Orlando Reservoir under the Company’s storage right so that the water can be re-timed and used more efficiently to irrigate the Company’s farmland or, alternatively, to augment well depletions along the Arkansas River and its tributaries.

Our Farming Business

In furtherance of developing irrigated farmland, the Company has engaged in both: 1) acquiring farmland that is currently producing crops supported by relatively secure water rights; and 2) acquiring farmland that has not been productive for many years, but maintains significant water rights.  Presently, we are focused on acquiring farmland which is proximate to our integrated water system and farmland which has directly associated senior water rights.  By capturing water in our reservoirs and releasing it later for irrigation purposes we expect to ameliorate the inconsistencies of seasonal and annual water availability to our farms.

The Company currently owns approximately 5,210 gross acres, but not all of those acres have yet been brought into production.  During 2012, the Company produced cash crops from 482 acres of irrigated farmland.  Farming production is discussed below under the heading “Two Rivers Farms, LLC”.  Subject to the availability of capital, the Company expects to acquire and develop in excess of 20,000 acres of high yield irrigated along the Arkansas River in Colorado within the next five years.

The Company’s current crop production consists of human-consumption produce (including cabbage, squash, and pumpkins), animal fodder crops (sorghum), and exchange traded grains (corn).  The Company expects to increase the variety of crops we produce as we expand our farming operations, improve our water system and secure contracts with purchasers.

In the early 1900’s in Southeastern Colorado, the farming and mining industries were connected.  Mining used significant amounts of water to extract and wash the mined aggregate.  In many cases, it was also necessary to pump groundwater out of the mines to keep the mine shafts from filling.  In both cases, the extracted mineral rich water was drained to the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers.  This continuous artificial augmentation of the flow in the two rivers created an opportunity for farmers downstream to capture and store that water in reservoirs and to distribute it to their fields through a series of ditches.

However, when the region’s mining business faded in the late 1950’s, it was no longer necessary to extract water from the mine shafts so that the mines could be worked.  Thus, the artificial augmentation of the natural flow of the rivers ceased.  As a result, many farmers who had relied on junior water rights to extend their farming operations lost the opportunity to consistently irrigate their fields.  With less water and more variability of flows based on natural hydrography, fewer farms survived to support the mutual irrigation efforts and the remaining farms withered as the water management facilities deteriorated for lack of maintenance, renewal and replacement.

The Company saw the opportunity to apply modern agronomy and sufficient capital to redevelop the main ditch system (still owned and operated in its reduced state by HCIC and other ditch systems (including Orlando) to deliver sufficient water to revitalize a portion of the neglected farmlands.  The Company commenced a systematic program to:
·  
purchase and redevelop available farmland by deep-plowing the fields, laser-leveling the planting areas (to optimize plant absorption and minimize runoff), installing irrigation facilities, and applying fertilizers,
·  
purchase a suite of water rights (including both diversion rights and storage rights),
·  
refurbish the historic ditch systems and reservoirs to restore and upgrade their efficiency,
·  
re-establish a sustainable and profitable farming enterprise which could achieve the scale required by modern farming methods and which could put the revived water supply to consistent beneficial use,
·  
develop a customer base to consistently buy the farms’ output at prices sufficient to generate profits, and
·  
build a reliable, integrated water supply system capable of flexibly serving both agricultural and urban needs.

In redeveloping our farmland, we deploy state-of-the-art methods and equipment with the aim of optimizing product yield, water efficiencies, and labor inputs.

Two Rivers Farms, LLC (“Farms”)

In order to put its water rights and facilities to productive use, the Company formed Farms to manage farms in proximity to our water distribution facilities and has undertaken a program of redeveloping the land, introducing modern agricultural and water management practices including deep plowing, laser leveling and installing efficient irrigation facilities.

During the 2010 growing season, approximately 400 acres of the Company’s land were farmed, primarily for wheat and feed corn, to determine the fertility of the soil and the most efficient and cost effective means of irrigation.

During 2011, the Company developed innovative ways to add irrigable acreage.  As a result, the Company developed 533 acres in 2011.  These additions increased the Company’s farmable acreage to 713.  However, because of the extensive drought in the area Farms did not produce a 2011 crop.  

During 2012, the Company farmed 482 acres as detailed below.

Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc. (“DFP”)

In 2012, the Company acquired Dionisio Farms and Produce, LLC (an unrelated party) in a two stage transaction.  On June 15, 2012, the Company acquired certain land and water rights from Dionisio Farms and Produce, LLC and its affiliated entities.  The Company purchased 146 acres of irrigable farmland, and the accompanying 146 shares of the Bessemer Ditch Irrigation Company, a senior water right holder on the main stem of the Arkansas River, and two supplemental ground water wells.  Further, the Company entered into leases for an additional 279 irrigable acres, of which 83 acres are subject to a 20 year lease.  The 20-year lease has five year renewals.  The rate is $185/acre or $15,000 per year.  Dionisio has been producing vegetable crops for over 60 years and has well-established commercial relationships for the sale and distribution of its crops.  The Company is operating these acquired assets under the Dionisio name and entered into employment agreements with members of the Dionisio family to maintain the experience and skill in producing and marketing of the vegetable crops.

Commencing in October 2012, DFP offered its preferred shares to accredited investors in a private placement.  This offering, 2,500,000 shares at $2.00/share, closed in February 2013 and generated net proceeds (after offering costs) of $4,621,000.  Proceeds of the offering were used as follows:
 
·  
Reimbursement to the Company of $630,000 for the Dionisio first closing in June, 2012, net of bank financing;
·  
Second stage of the Dionisio purchase transaction in November, 2012 of $900,000 which is net of seller carry back;
·  
Purchase of a neighboring farm (36 acres) for $56,000 plus debt assumption and new debt,
·  
Loan to the Company of $1,000,000; and
·  
The remainder of $2,035,000 as working capital and reserves.

On November 2, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of DFP and its affiliated entities through the payment of $900,000 and a seller carry-back promissory note of $600,000 (“Seller Note”).  The Seller Note is due in five years, carries interest at 6% payable quarterly.  Principal of the Seller Note is due at maturity.  The Seller Note is secured by certain farm equipment that was purchased in this transaction.

Two Rivers Farms F-1, Inc. (“F-1”) and Two Rivers Farms F-2, Inc. (“F-2”)

F-1

On January 21, 2011 the Company formed F-1, then a limited liability company, to hold certain farming assets and as an entity to raise debt financing for the Company’s expansion of the farming business.  In February 2011, F-1 sold $2,000,000 in 5% per annum, 3-year Series A convertible promissory notes that, as a class, also participate in 1/3 of the crop profit from the related land.  Proceeds from these notes were used to acquire and improve irrigation systems, pay for the farmland and retire seller carry-back debt from the purchase of HCIC.  This allowed water available through HCIC to be used to irrigate the F-1 farms without encumbrance.

In December 2012, F-1 offered the holders of the Series A convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-1 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares in F-1, one warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series A debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $1,975,000 of the debt thereby leaving $25,000 of the originally issued Series A convertible debt and accrued interest of $86,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
 
As part of the debt conversion, Two Rivers Farms F-1, LLC converted into a corporation and authorized and issued a series of preferred shares designated as Series F-1-A Convertible Preferred Stock (“F-1 Preferred”)
 
The F-1 Preferred includes two dividends: (1) Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend; and (2) 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend.   Under the Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend, holders of the F-1 Preferred will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by F-1’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum.  Under the 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend, F-1 Preferred holders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit.  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and estimated income taxes owed.

While the F-1 Preferred are outstanding, F-1 covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of its shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding F-1 Preferred: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of F-1; (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity); (3) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (4) to observe all financial covenants; (5) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Company; (6) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the F-1 Preferred (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (7) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due the Profit Participation; (8) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (9) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; and (10) to limit the number of its Directors to three.
 
Additionally, while the F-1 Preferred are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the F-1 Preferred, to appoint three directors to F-1’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the F-1 Preferred (the “PS Director”).  The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of F-1, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the F-1’s financial reports; (7)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Company’s common stock issuable on conversion of the F-1 Preferred to common stock of the Company; and (b) for the common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and  (8) to certify at least annually that, to the Company’s actual knowledge, neither F-1 nor the Company is in breach of these covenants.
Upon certain events of default under the F-1 Preferred, F-1 Preferred shareholders can cause a replacement of a member of the F-1 Board of Directors. The Conversion Agreement with F-1 debtholders is attached as an exhibit to this to this annual report on Form 10-K.

F-2

On April 5, 2011 the Company formed F-2, then a limited liability company, to hold certain farming and water assets and as an entity to raise additional debt for the Company’s expansion of the farming business.  During the summer of 2011, F-2 sold $5,332,000 in 6% per annum, 3-year Series B convertible promissory notes that, as a class, also participate in 10% of the crop revenue from the related lands.  Further, for each $2.50 borrowed, the lender received a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company’s stock at $2.50.  These warrants expired on December 31, 2012.  Proceeds from these notes were used to acquire the Orlando and additional farmland and to install irrigation systems.

In December 2012, F-2 offered the holders of the Series B convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-2 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  Each preferred share in F-2 can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares, a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series B debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $5,107,000 of the debt thereby leaving $225,000 of the originally issued Series B convertible debt and accrued interest of $194,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
 
As part of the debt conversion, Two Rivers Farms F-2, LLC converted into a corporation and authorized and issued a series of preferred shares designated as Series F-2-B Convertible Preferred Stock (“F-2 Preferred”)
 
The F-2 Preferred includes two dividends: (1) Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend; and (2) 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend.   Under the Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend, holders of the F-2 Preferred will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by F-2’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum.  Under the 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend, F-2 Preferred holders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit.  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and estimated income taxes owed.
 
While the F-2 Preferred are outstanding, F-2 covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of its shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding F-2 Preferred: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of F-2; (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity); (3) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (4) to observe all financial covenants; (5) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Company; (6) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the F-2 Preferred (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (7) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due the Profit Participation; (8) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (9) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; and (10) to limit the number of its Directors to three.
 
Additionally, while the F-2 Preferred are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the F-2 Preferred, to appoint three directors to F-2’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the F-2 Preferred (the “PS Director”).  The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of F-2, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the F-2’s financial reports; (7)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the F-2 Preferred in the event of conversion shares to common stock of the Company; and (b) for the common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and  (8) to certify at least annually that, to the Company’s actual knowledge, neither F-2 nor the Company is in breach of these covenants.

Upon certain events of default under the F-2 Preferred, F-2 Preferred shareholders can cause a replacement of a member of the F-2 Board of Directors.  The Conversion Agreement with F-2 is attached as an exhibit to this to this annual report on Form 10-K.

Both F-1 and F-2 lease their farmland and farming assets to Farms as the operator of the Company’s farming activities.

Other Farming

Approximately 1,500 acres of irrigable farmland in the Butte Valley acquired by the Company in connection with the Orlando purchase (the “Lascar-Butte Acres”) is subject to a conditional right to a repurchase by the sellers.  The repurchase option is for $1.00 but is only effective on or after September 7, 2021 and only if the sellers have previously offered to purchase from the Company at least 2,500 SFE (single family equivalent) water service connections and tendered payment of a $6,500 Water Resource Fee per SFE connection pursuant to an agreement.  Under that repurchase scenario, the Company would have already begun providing tap water service to the Lascar-Butte Acres and received a minimum of $16,250,000 in Water Resource Fees from sellers in exchange for the service connections.  Also, the sellers of Orlando had the right, subject to certain conditions, to repurchase Lascar-Butte Acres for $3,000,000.  However, as noted below, the repurchase right has been terminated based on actions of the Company to rehabilitate Orlando facilities and a portion of the associated farmland.

In 2011 and 2012, the Company made substantial improvements to the Lascar-Butte Acres to restore the farmable land and enhance the associated water rights.  These improvements include but are not limited to installing an irrigation system, rebuilding the outlet works and diversion structure at the Orlando Reservoir, rebuilding the Orlando Ditch, laser leveling the farm land, purchasing nearby land, making filings with the water courts to enhance the water rights, and planting sorghum for harvest.  These improvements allowed the Company to commence farming on the Lascar-Butte Acres in 2012 with a crop of sorghum.

Through December 31, 2012, the Company had expended in excess of $2,380,000 in rebuilding and preparing the Lascar-Butte Acres for farming and developing the associated water rights.  The Company believes these substantial improvements satisfy certain obligations under the Orlando acquisition agreements and terminate the seller’s option to re-purchase the Lascar-Butte Acres.  The seller had an option to repurchase the Lascar-Butte Acres by September 7, 2013, if the Company did not use its best efforts to complete substantial improvements to the Lascar-Butte Acres, or if the Company did not commence farming on Lascar-Butte Acres.

Other Matters

Bridge Loan Debt Conversion to Preferred Stock

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company closed a short-term bridge financing (the “Bridge Loan”) in the total amount of $3,994,000.  The Company’s CEO participated as a lender in the Bridge Loan in the amount of $994,000.  The Bridge Loan pays monthly interest at 12% per annum with $200,000 due on October 31, 2012 and the remainder was to be due on May 31, 2013.  The Bridge Loan holders also received one share of the Company’s stock for each $10 of Bridge Loan participation.  Participants in the Bridge Loan have the option of converting the principal into the Company’s common stock at the price offered in a take-out equity financing which the Company plans to complete.  In conjunction with the closing of the Bridge Loan, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to the Bridge Loan holders.  The fair value of the shares issued was determined to be $602,000, which is recorded as a debt discount to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related Bridge Loan.

In October 2012, the Company obtained extensions to May 31, 2013 on $3,794,000 of the principal.  In exchange for these extensions, the terms remain the same and the Company will issue the note holders restricted stock of the Company computed by multiplying the face amount of the note by 10% and dividing by $1.75 (per share).  These shares were issued in the quarter ending December 31, 2012 and the cost was fully amortized from November 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.  The fair value of the shares issued was determined to be $271,000, which is recorded as a debt discount to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related Bridge Loan.

In December 2012, the Company offered the holders of the Bridge Loan convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of the Company and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  The Company created a series of preferred stock designated as Series BL.  Each share of the Series BL can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two shares of the Series BL, a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Bridge Loan debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $3,794,000 which represents conversion of the entire Bridge Loan debt.
 
As part of the debt conversion, the Company authorized and issued a series of preferred shares designated as Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock (“BL Preferred”).
 
The BL Preferred include two dividends: (1) Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend; and (2) 10% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend.   Under the Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend, holders of the BL Preferred will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum.  Under the 10% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend, BL Preferred holders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 10%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit.  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and an estimate of income taxes owed.
 
While the BL Preferred are outstanding, the Company covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of its shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding BL Preferred: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company; and (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity); (3) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (4) to observe all financial covenants; (5) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations; (6) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (7) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 10% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due  the Profit Participation; (8) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; and (9) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; (10) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (11) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (12) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (13) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the Company’s financial reports; (14)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and  (15) to certify at least annually that, to the Company’s actual knowledge, the Company is not in breach of a these covenants.

Corporate Evolution

Prior to 2009, the Company was named Navidec Financial Services, Inc. (“Navidec”) and had been engaged in mortgage lending and other enterprises unrelated to its current lines of business.  Navidec was incorporated in the state of Colorado on December 20, 2002. On July 28, 2009, Navidec formed a wholly-owned Colorado corporation for the purpose of acquiring farm and water assets in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed.  On November 19, 2009, with shareholder approval, Navidec changed its name to Two Rivers Water Company. On December 11, 2012, with shareholder approval, the Company changed its name to Two Rivers Water & Farming Company.

Discontinued Operations

In early 2009, the Company (then named Navidec Financial Services, Inc.) discontinued its short-term real estate lending and development in order to focus all its efforts on the irrigated farming and water business.   The wind down of discontinued operations was completed by December 31, 2011.

Competition

The rights to use water in Colorado have been fully appropriated to beneficial uses (such as agriculture irrigation and municipal and industrial applications) under court decrees and state regulation according to the prevailing Prior Appropriation Doctrine in which more senior (older) water rights take precedence in times of shortage over junior (newer) water rights. Notwithstanding significant conservation, growth in Colorado with related incremental demands for water has made the rights to divert, convey, store and use water relatively scarce and valuable.  There is significant competition for the acquisition and beneficial use of historic water rights.  Many competitors for the acquisition of such rights have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than the Company and, consequently, we could be at a competitive disadvantage in assembling, developing and deploying water assets required to support our businesses.  Competitors' resources could overwhelm our efforts and cause adverse consequences to our operational performance.  To mitigate such competitive risks, the Company concentrates its efforts in the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers watershed where its local knowledge and control of a portfolio of water rights, storage facilities, distribution canals and productive farmland create a somewhat protected geographic niche.  To further mitigate competitive risk, the Company strives to actively engage with both the farming and the water communities in Southeastern Colorado to explore strategies for cooperatively addressing challenges and opportunities faced by those communities—particularly to address the 130,000 acre-foot shortfall in water supplies on the Front Range, without taking valuable farmland out of production.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

 
Risk Factors Related to Forward Looking Statements
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  These statements relate to, among other items, net sales, earnings, revenue, gross profit, profitability, financial conditions, results of operations, cash flows, capital expenditures and other financial matters.  These statements also relate to our business strategy, goals and expectations concerning our market position and future operations.  Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “target”, “likely”, “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “predict”, “project”, and similar expressions or phrases, or the negative of those expressions or phrases.
 
Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this Memorandum, we caution you that our assumptions could be incorrect and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be inaccurate.  Further, these forward-looking statements are based on our projections of the future and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results of operations, level of activity, performance, achievements or industry results to differ materially from our historical results or from any future results, performance or achievements suggested or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Memorandum.  The sections in this Memorandum entitled “ Risk Factors ”, “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ” and “ Business ” discuss some of the factors that could contribute to these differences, including risks related to:
 
·  
conditions in the global economy;
 
·  
the variability of our operating results between periods and the resulting difficulty in forecasting future results;
 
·  
the need for increased spending on capital expenditures to improve our infrastructure and pursue growth opportunities;
 
·  
our ability to compete successfully within our industry;
 
·  
our substantial farm based operations,
 
·  
the fact that we have not entered into any water supply contracts with any municipal customers to date;
 
·  
the volatile nature of farm commodities prices;
 
·  
our substantial level of indebtedness and the effective restrictions on our operations set forth in documents that govern such indebtedness; and
 
·  
our ability to build our water-based resources to the point where we may market water made available through rotational fallowing.
 
 
Because these and other unknown or unpredictable factors could adversely affect our results, our anticipated results or developments may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to, or effects on, our business.  Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements in this Memorandum.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise them publicly in light of new information or future events.  All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Risk Factors Relating to the Company and Our Business

Farming requires significant capital expenditures.
 
Farming is capital intensive.  On an annual basis, the Company could spend significant sums of money for additions to, or replacement of, land, land improvements, irrigation and farming equipment.  The refurbishment of the Company’s water assets is also capital intensive.  On an annual basis, we could spend significant sums of money for additions to, or replacement of, our facilities, reservoirs and equipment.  We must obtain funds for these capital projects from operations or capital raised.  We cannot provide assurance that any sources will be adequate or that the cost of funds will be at levels permitting us to earn a reasonable rate of return.

Two Rivers has little operating history in the farming business, so investors have no way to gauge our long term performance.
 
The Company has little operating experience in the farming business in Colorado.  Two Rivers to date has farmed approximately 400 acres during 2010, no acres during 2011 (due to drought and then uncompleted water infrastructure refurbishment projects), and 482 acres during the 2012 growing season.  Therefore, the Company’s business plan should be considered highly speculative.  This risk factor is somewhat mitigated by the fact that Dionisio Farms & Produce, which was acquired by the Company during 2012, has a long operating history.  Although Dionisio Farms & Produce has a long operating history, Two Rivers has managed the farms irrigated by the Bessemer Ditch and the related produce business for less than one year.
 
Two Rivers was formed in December 2002.  Two Rivers entered the real estate market in 2007 with a focus on residential mortgages.  In 2009, Two Rivers began liquidation of its operations and assets in the residential mortgage market and entered into the water and farming businesses.  The first year of farming operations that yielded a crop was 2010.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, Two Rivers recognized revenue of $153,000 through the farming of 400 acres of farmland.  Because of drought conditions in southeastern Colorado and because the Company’s reservoirs and other water infrastructure were undergoing refurbishment, the Company did not produce significant crops or farm revenue during 2011.  The farmland irrigated by the Bessemer Ditch which was acquired or leased in 2012 produced significant crops during a drought in both 2011 (prior to their acquisition) and 2012 (subsequent to acquisition and lease).

Two Rivers can give no assurance of success or profitability to investors.

Although Two Rivers is successfully producing a variety of crops on 353 acres of farmland under the Bessemer Ditch during the 2012 growing season and although the integrated produce wholesaling business to be acquired with proceeds of a portion of this Offering is similarly operating successfully during the current harvest and delivery season, there is no assurance that the Company will continue to operate profitably.  There is no assurance that the Company will generate revenues or profits. The Company has not been profitable in the past and has an accumulated deficit of almost $42 million.


Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 22



The Company and the Parent may have insufficient funds to develop its farming business.
 
The Company might not have enough funds to expand their farming business.  Without the expansion of the farming business, the Company will not be able to meet its general and administration expenses from revenue generated from the farming business.  No assurance can be given that any such expansion funds will be available.
 
Any default on mortgages or leases relating to the Company’s farmland could have a material impact on the Company’s farming business.
 
The Company’s farmland, and related water rights thereon, is owned subject to mortgages.  If the Company defaults on a mortgage, it could lose the farmland and the water rights.  Certain of the Company’s farmland may be leased, and a breach of that lease by the Company could result in the termination of that lease.  Certain of the Company’s leases of irrigated farmland are at year-to-year terms.  Year-to-year terms are common in the farming industry and common in this geographical area.  The Company’s inability to renew these leases would have a material impact on the Company’s ability to implement its business plan.
 
Dry weather or droughts may adversely affect the collection of our water and ability to grow crops.
 
Water to grow our crops is obtained from rainfall, surface runoff, stream flows and groundwater.  In dry years or droughts, less water may be available to supply our farmlands and less water may be available for sale/lease, which could substantially impact revenues and cause losses.  The risk of water shortages is mitigated, however, by the seniority of our water rights and the availability of supplemental groundwater to support consistent irrigation even during cyclical dry conditions.  Dry weather and drought contributed to decisions not to farm in 2011.  Such conditions will occur from time to time in the future and will affect the results of our operations. The irrigated farmland of the Company acquired in 2012 produced significant crops during a drought in 2011 and 2012.

The adequacy of our water supplies depends upon a variety of uncontrollable factors.   An adequate water supply is necessary for our farming business to be profitable.  Our farming business is located where dry-farming is not profitable.  The adequacy of our water supplies varies from year to year depending upon a variety of factors, including:

·  
Rainfall, runoff, flood control and availability of reservoir storage;
·  
Availability of water in the Arkansas River watersheds;
·  
The amount of useable water stored in reservoirs and groundwater basins;
·  
The amount of water used by our customers and others;
·  
Water quality; and
·  
Legal limitations on production, diversion, storage, conveyance and use.

Population growth and increases in the amount of water used in urban areas have caused increased stress on surface water supplies and groundwater basins.

We obtain our water supply from the Arkansas, Cucharas and Huerfano Rivers.  Our water supply and storage may be subject to interruption or reduction if there is an interruption or reduction in water supplies available to us.  Our supply and storage business is dependent upon our ability to meet the requirements of the Colorado Water Engineer’s office regarding our water rights priorities.
 
Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 23


 
Water shortages may:

·  
adversely affect our supply mix, for instance, causing increased reliance upon more expensive water sources; or
·  
adversely affect our operating costs, for instance, by increasing the cost to purchase or lease required water.

Our water rights may not yield full flow every year.
Water rights in Colorado are subject to the Prior Appropriation Doctrine, which accords lower priority to junior water rights.  Water rights that are senior (such as the Company’s Butte Valley Ditch Right Number 1 dating from 1862) have priority over junior rights (such as the Company’s Huerfano Valley Ditch Right Number 342 dating from 1905) as to use in dry years, and junior rights might not get water or as much water as they wish, if senior rights use it all.

We are required to maintain water quality standards and are subject to regulatory and environmental risks.

We face the risk that our water supplies may be contaminated or polluted whether through our error or through actions by other agents or through acts of God.  In addition, normal farming practices, including the application of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers, introduce pollutants to waterways through irrigation water runoff.  Improved detection technology, increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, and heightened consumer awareness of water quality contribute to an environment of increased risk with the possibility of increased operating costs.  We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to reduce the amounts of contaminants in our water to acceptable levels.

Our water supplies are subject to contamination, including contamination from naturally occurring compounds, pollution from man-made sources and intentional sabotage.  We cannot assure you that we will successfully manage these risks, and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations.  We might not be able to recover the costs associated with these liabilities through our sales or insurance or such recovery may not occur in a timely manner.

The water and farming business is heavily regulated and, as a result, decisions by regulatory agencies and changes in laws and regulations can significantly affect our farming business.
 
Regulatory decisions may impact prospective revenues and earnings, affect the timing of the recognition of revenues and expenses, may overturn past decisions used in determining our revenues and expenses and could result in impairment of goodwill.  Management continually evaluates the assets, liabilities and revenues and provides for allowances and/or reserves as deemed necessary. 
 
We may also be subject to fines or penalties if a regulatory agency determines that we have failed to comply with laws, regulations or orders applicable to our farming or water businesses.

Regulatory agencies may also change their rules and policies which may adversely affect our profitability and cash flows.  We may also be subject to fines or penalties if a regulatory agency determines that we have failed to comply with laws, regulations or orders applicable to our water businesses.  The water rights controlled by the Company provide significant legal and pecuniary benefits.  Any changes in Colorado law that affects water rights, either in general or specific to the Company, could likely have a material impact on the Company.


Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 24



Because growing cycles are highly seasonal, our revenue, cash flows from operations and operating results are likely to fluctuate on a seasonal and quarterly basis.

The farming business is highly seasonal.  The seasonal nature of our operations results in significant fluctuations in our working capital during the growing and selling cycles.  As a result, operating activities during the second and third quarters use significant amounts of cash.  In contrast, operating activities for the fourth quarter typically generate cash as we harvest and sell our crops during that part of the year.  Also, the demand for water varies by season.  For instance, most water consumption for agriculture usage occurs during the third quarter of each year when weather tends to be hot and dry.  During wet weather, there is reduced demand for water delivered from the Company’s reservoirs.  We expect to experience significant variability in net sales, operating cash flows and net income on a quarterly basis.

Our ability to cultivate, husband and harvest our crop may be compromised by availability of labor and equipment.

When the crop is ready to harvest, we are dependent on seasonal labor and contractors for harvesting.  During harvest season, there is demand for such seasonal labor from many farming operations which will compete with our demand.  The availability of seasonal farm labor is also affected by uncertain national immigration policies and politically volatile enforcement practices.  Thus, adequate labor might not be available when our crops are ready to harvest.  This could delay revenue or decrease revenue of our farming business.

Adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, crop disease, pests and other natural conditions can impose significant costs and losses on our business.

Crops in the field are vulnerable to adverse weather conditions, including hail storms, high winds, tornados, early and late snow storms, floods, drought and temperature extremes, which are quite common but difficult to predict.  In addition, crops are vulnerable to disease and to pests, which may vary in severity and effect depending on the stage of production at the time of infection or infestation, the type of treatment applied and climatic conditions.  Unfavorable growing conditions can reduce both crop size and quality.  These factors can directly impact us by decreasing the quality and yields of crops, increasing our costs and decreasing revenue and gross margins, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Weather conditions can adversely affect the ability to grow crops.
 
Weather has a direct influence on the survival and yield of crops.  Adverse weather conditions include, but are not limited to, not enough rain, too much rain, high wind, tornados, hail, snow, lighting, thunderstorms, and other weather events.  These events could adversely impact our ability to grow and deliver crops.

We operate in areas subject to natural disasters.
 
We operate in an area that is prone to floods, droughts and other natural disasters.  While we plan to maintain insurance policies to help reduce our financial exposure, a significant seismic event in Southern Colorado, where our operations are concentrated, or other natural disasters in Colorado could adversely impact our ability to deliver labor to the crops, deliver crops to the marketplace, receive water and adversely affect our costs of operations and profitability.

Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 25


Our earnings may be affected, to large extents, by volatility in the market value of our crops.
 
We intend to grow both exchange traded commodity crops and specialty crops for direct human consumption or use.  The pricing of these crops is determined between individual sellers and buyers.  These prices can vary widely, thereby directly impacting our revenue.  Although we attempt to mitigate crop price risk by generally making supply arrangements before we plant, there could be situations where our planned buyer fails and we would not find an alternative buyer during the viability of our perishable crops, in which case our revenue would be non-existent.

Organic certification

Certain of our farmland have been certified organic under standards promulgated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  If we are unable (or choose not) to maintain this certification, our revenues could be materially impacted.

Crop Insurance

We may or may not maintain crop insurance.  The Company may decide not to maintain crop insurance based on the crop or the cost and availability of crop insurance.  Therefore, there could be some harvests that are destroyed, not covered by insurance, and nonetheless incur significant crop input expenses.

Our operations are geographically concentrated within Colorado.

Our operations are concentrated in Southeastern Colorado.  As a result, our financial results are subject to political impacts, regional weather conditions, available water supply, available labor supply, utility cost, regulatory risks, economic conditions and other factors affecting Colorado, our area of operation.  Southeastern Colorado has been hard hit by the on-going economic crisis.  Colorado is raising taxes in order to balance the state budget and jobs may be lost to other states which are perceived as having a more business friendly climate, thereby exacerbating the impact of the financial crisis in Colorado.
 
Our Company has substantial competitors who have an advantage over the Company in resources and management.
 
Most of our competitors in both the farming industry and in the water resource management business have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us and, consequently, the Company may be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying and developing or exploring suitable business opportunities and/or acquisitions.  Competitors’ resources could overwhelm our restricted efforts and adversely impact our operational performance.   The Company has attempted to mitigate this risk by concentrating its business efforts in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed and on the Bessemer Ditch where, by virtue of our local knowledge and our control of water rights, infrastructure and farmland, we enjoy competitive advantages within our geographic niche over larger, better funded companies.

Risks related to our Company

The Company can give no assurance of success or profitability to investors.

There is no assurance that the Company will operate profitably. There is no assurance that the Company will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of its common stock will be increased thereby.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $14,549,000, and during the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company recognized a net loss of $6,198,000.

We may in the future issue more shares which could cause a loss of control by present management and current stockholders and/or dilution to investors.

There may be substantial dilution to our shareholders as a result of future decisions of our Board to issue shares without shareholder approval for cash, services, or acquisitions at prices solely determined by our Board.  Additionally, upon issuance, such shares could represent a majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control the Company, and persons unknown could replace management at such time.
 
Our common stockholders could face substantial potential dilution from outstanding preferred stock, warrants, and unvested Restricted Stock Units.
 
As of December 31, 2012, we had 24,028,202 shares of common stock outstanding.  In late 2012, debt-holders of the Company and its subsidiaries converted their debt to preferred shares in the Company and its subsidiaries, respectively.  This includes the Bridge Loan, Series A (F-1) and Series B (F-2) debt. See Note 4 to the Financial Statements entitled “Notes Payable”.   The preferred shares convert, on a one to one basis, to common shares of the Company.  Debt-holders were also given warrants to purchase common stock in the Company.  If the preferred shareholders converted their preferred shares and converted their warrants, the Company would issue up to an additional 16,524,255 common shares.
 
In addition, in February 2013 our subsidiary Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc. closed a private placement offering.  As part of this offering, subscribers purchased preferred shares of Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc. of which one preferred share is convertible into two common shares of the Company.  Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc. preferred shareholders also received warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  If the Dionisio Farms & Produce preferred shareholders converted their preferred shares and converted their warrants, the Company would issue up to an additional 7,500,000 common shares of the Company.
 
We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon the conversion of the preferred stock or upon the exercise of warrants.
 
Officers and directors may have conflicts of interest which may not be resolved favorably to the Company.
 
Certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and our Officers and Directors.  Our Officers and Directors have other business interests to which they devote their attention and may be expected to continue to do so although management time should be devoted to our business.  As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to us.  See Item 10 entitled “Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters And Control Persons”, and the subsection "Conflicts of Interest".

Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 27

 
The inability to attract and retain qualified employees could significantly harm our business.
 
The market for skilled executive officers and employees knowledgeable in agriculture and water rights is highly competitive and historically has experienced a high rate of turnover. Competition for quality officers and employees may lead to increased hiring and retention costs.
 
The Company’s officers and directors may have conflicts of interests as to corporate opportunities which the Company may not be able or allowed to participate in.
 
Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention.  Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise.  Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company.  The Company has no intention of merging with or acquiring business opportunity from any affiliate or officer or director.  See "Conflicts of Interest".
 
The Company has agreed to indemnification of officers and directors as is provided by Colorado Statutes.
 
Colorado Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with any activities on our behalf.  Two Rivers will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification.  This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that Two Rivers will be unable to recoup.
 
Our directors' liability to us and shareholders is limited.
 
Colorado Revised Statutes exclude personal liability of Two Rivers’ directors and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, Two Rivers will have a much more limited right of action against our directors that otherwise would be the case.  This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.
 
The Company may depend upon outside advisors, who may not be available on reasonable terms and as needed.
 
To supplement the business experience of Two Rivers’ officers and directors, Two Rivers may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors.  Our Board, without any input from stockholders, will make the selection of any such advisors.  Furthermore, Two Rivers anticipates that such persons will be engaged on an "as needed” basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us. In the event Two Rivers considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, it may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they are able to provide the required services.

Our success will depend, to a large degree, on the expertise and experience of the members of our management team.

Our success in identifying investment opportunities and pursuing and managing such investments is, to a large degree, dependent upon the expertise and experience of the management team and their ability to attract and retain quality personnel.
 
Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures could adversely impact the reliability of our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, and this assessment identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  As a result, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as of December 31, 2012.
 
Preferred Stock issued by the Company’s subsidiaries includes covenants that permit changes in control if the covenants were breached.

The rights the preferred stock of the Company’s subsidiaries, include dividends and covenants.  If certain covenants are broken, including the failure to pay dividends at certain times, preferred shareholders have the right to replace a member of the Board of Directors of the subsidiary, resulting in a change of control.  This covenant is not present in the Company’s preferred stock.

Preferred Stock issued by the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries include covenants that limit their respective abilities to take or refrain from certain actions.

The covenants contained in the preferred shares contain a number of significant covenants that, among other things, limit its ability to incur additional debt and transfer and sell assets, including to affiliated companies. These covenants could have a material effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.


Risk Factors Related To Our Stock

The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our securities

We are classified as a “penny stock” company. Our common stock currently trades on the OTCQB Market and is subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks.  Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.


Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 29



In addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.”  Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Because the Company’s securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to our securities and us.  These rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, causing investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

Rule 144 sales of our shares in the future may have a depressive effect on our stock price.

All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by our present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months may sell without restriction, except for affiliates which, under certain conditions, may sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company’s outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale.  There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six months.  A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our common stock in any market that may develop.

There may be substantial dilution to our shareholders as a result of future decisions of our Board to issue shares without shareholder approval for cash, services, or acquisitions at prices determined solely by our Board in the exercise of their business judgment.

Our stock may be thinly traded and as a result shareholders may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all.

The shares of our common stock are thinly-traded on the OTC QB market, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they may be risk-averse and reluctant to follow an early stage company or purchase or recommend the purchase of any of our securities until such time as we became more seasoned and profitable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our securities is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect its securities price.  We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common securities will be developed or sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if they desire to liquidate securities of our Company.

Dividends on Common Stock

To date, the Company has not paid any cash or stock dividends to shareholders.  There are no restrictions which would limit our ability to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future.  The Colorado Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend, (i) we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (ii) our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Dividends on Preferred Stock

Through 2012, there have been no dividends declared on our common or preferred stock.

Penny Stock Regulation

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00.  Excluded from the penny stock designation are securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange/system or sold to established customers or accredited investors.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the 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 connection with the transaction, and the monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock; 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 our securities which are subject to the penny stock rules.  Thus, investors may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other financial information included elsewhere in this report.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of any number of factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report.

Plan of Operations – Overview

Two Rivers has developed and operates a revolutionary new water business model suitable for arid regions in the southwestern United States whereby the Company synergistically integrates irrigated farming and wholesale water distribution into one company, utilizing a practice of rotational farm fallowing.  Rotational farm fallowing, as it applies to water, is a best methods farm practice whereby portions of farm acreage are temporarily fallowed in cyclic rotation to give soil an opportunity to reconstitute itself.  As a result of fallowing, an increment of irrigation water can be made available for municipal use without permanently drying up irrigated farmland.  Collaborative rotational farm fallowing agreements between farmers and municipalities make surplus irrigation water available for urban use during droughts and, conversely, make surplus urban water available for irrigation during relatively wet periods. The Company produces and markets high value vegetable and fodder crops on its irrigated farmland and provides wholesale water distribution through farm fallowing agreements in its initial area of focus on the Arkansas River and its tributaries on the southern Front Range of Colorado.

Irrigated Farmland

Acquiring integrated farmland/water assets is designed to position the Company and its shareholders to benefit from rising food and water demand.  The Company believes that expanding regional and global demand for food and water will make our integrated water assets and irrigated farmland even more valuable in the years to come.  The growing world population and rising incomes are increasing the demand for high quality food and fiber, yet there has been a reduction of arable land and pressure on finite water supplies to keep up with this demand.  By returning irrigated farmland to production and applying improved agronomy, crop selection and water management techniques, the Company proposes to produce “more crop per drop” and to sustainably produce a variety of high value human consumption crops and animal fodder.

In 2012, Two Rivers acquired Dionisio Farms & Produce (DFP) and its farming operations, which consistently produces high value fruits and vegetables and fodder crops.  In addition to the 353 acres farmed by DFP, the Company also leased nearby land and water rights to produce crops on a total of 482 acres during the 2012 growing season.  By integrating DFP with the Company’s productive farmland in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed, the Company significantly increased overall productivity in 2012 versus 2011 (both of which were characterized as drought years in southeastern Colorado).  Since acquiring DFP in a two-step process in 2012, the Company has further integrated its farming operations under the supervision of Russ Dionisio, a third-generation farmer in the Arkansas River watershed.  As a result, the Company expects to expand its land under cultivation during 2013 to approximately 539 acres, subject to water and capital availability.  The integration of DFP also furthers the long-term objectives of diversifying and integrating the Company’s water resources, because DFP is irrigated primarily from the Bessemer Ditch Irrigation Company which manages among the most senior and secure water rights in the Arkansas River watershed.

Water Assets

The right to water in Colorado is a right that can be developed, managed, purchased or sold much like real property, subject to appropriate regulation.  Water rights are judicially decreed and, because of Colorado’s application of the Prior Appropriation Doctrine (“first in time, first in right”), senior water right holders are entitled to the beneficial use of water prior to junior holders, in times of shortage.  Consequently senior water rights are more consistent, reliable and valuable than junior rights which may be interrupted (or “called out” in the parlance of Colorado water administration).  Two Rivers will continue to evaluate acquisitions of farmland in light of their associated water rights and plans to continue integrating its farming and water management activities.

Water Storage Reservoirs and Ditches

Water management infrastructure—river diversion structures, conveyance facilities, reservoirs, and distribution canals (sometimes referred to colloquially as “ditches”)—are a significant part of our water and farming system.  The flexible ability to capture and store water, control diversions, and release water when it is most productive, all in accordance with judicial decrees, are valuable components of the Company’s plan to build out an integrated farming/water management enterprise.  For instance, there is significant demand for water storage in the Arkansas River Basin (as well as in other parts of Colorado).  Primarily to meet its own demand for irrigation water, the Company completed projects during 2012 to refurbish two historic reservoirs (the Cucharas Reservoir, an on-stream facility, and the Orlando Reservoir, which diverts water from the Huerfano River).  Because restoring this historic capacity serves a state-wide need, the Company secured long-term, low-cost financing for these projects from the Colorado Water Conservation Board to significantly leverage the Company’s equity investment in these storage reservoirs.  As a result of completing these projects during 2012, the Company now has approximately 15,000 acre-feet of operable storage in the combined Huerfano/Cucharas watershed.

Page 41


 
The Company recently acquired land along the Arkansas River (strategically located between the confluences of Fountain Creek—upstream—and the Huerfano River—downstream) on which it plans to create additional storage for eventual integration with the Company’s water system and with other water management systems in the Arkansas River watershed.  Two Rivers plans to apply to the Colorado Water Conservation Board for financing for the additional reservoir and, subject to capital availability, expects to more than double the Company’s operable storage during 2013.  Ultimately, we expect that the Company's development of additional water storage capacity and associated infrastructure will contribute to more consistent, reliable, and efficient use of water under the Bessemer and Huerfano/Cucharas ditch systems.  Because of its development and integrated management of the projected water supply system, the Company is in an economically advantaged position to revitalize and bring into production up to 20,000 acres of valuable farmland that has been idled in recent decades primarily because of the inadequacy of its water supply and unavailability of capital for system maintenance.

Subject to capital availability, the Company expects to build and refurbish storage reservoirs which, together with our existing diversion rights and distribution facilities, will allow us to store an additional 75,000 acre-feet of water in the Arkansas River watershed (over and above our 15,000 acre-feet of currently operable storage), within the next five years.  The additional water storage will provide reliability during dry years, enabling the Company to expand our farming operations to maintain balance between irrigable land and available irrigation water.

Acquisitions

In 2012, the Company made significant acquisitions and improvements to implement our long-term business plan.  In addition to the two-step DFP acquisition and the acquisition of land for a new reservoir, both of which are discussed above, the Company expanded its “acres under the plow” by bringing into production land in its portfolio that had been idled for decades and by entering into leases of currently productive farmland under the Bessemer Ditch.  Further, during 2012, the Company successfully completed renovation projects on the Cucharas and Orlando Reservoirs, both of which were acquired in prior years.  Those facilities are now positioned to support expansion of our farming operations, subject to the availability of growth capital.  Moreover, the Company’s integrated farming/water management businesses successfully operated to produce revenue and gross margins from growing, harvesting, cooling, packaging and shipping a variety of high-value human consumption crops and animal fodder.

Financing

The Company has aggressively expanded operations relying on various funding mechanisms, which include debt, convertible debt and equity capital.  Since inception, the Company has raised and invested over $40 million acquire, improve and integrate farm/water assets necessary to support its two businesses.
 
In 2012, DFP offered 2,500,000 of its preferred shares in a private placement which was fully subscribed at its close in early 2013.  Each preferred share was offered with a warrant to purchase a common share of the Company, to form a unit, which was sold at $2.00.  The offering generated net proceeds of $4,621,000.  Proceeds of the offering were used as follows  (1) reimbursement to the Company of $630,000 for the Dionisio first closing in June, 2012, net of bank financing; (2) completing the second stage closing of the Dionisio purchase transaction in November, 2012 of $900,000 which is net of seller carry back; (3) purchase of a neighboring farm for $56,000 plus assumption and new debt, (4) a loan of $1,000,000 to the Company; and (5) the remainder of $2,035,000 as working capital and reserves.

In late 2012, Two Rivers offered holders of convertible debt issued by its F-1 and F-2 subsidiaries (which debt was secured by land and participation interests in those subsidiaries), as well as Bridge Loan holders, the opportunity to convert their debt into equity.  Over 70 such holders, representing $10,876,000 of debt, converted to an equity position.

F-1 offered its holders of its Series A convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-1 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares in F-1, one warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series A debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $1,975,000 of the debt thereby leaving $25,000 of the originally issued Series A convertible debt and accrued interest of $86,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012.

Similarly, F-2 offered the holders of the Series B convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-2 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  Each preferred share in F-2 can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares, a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series B debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $5,107,000 of the debt thereby leaving $225,000 of the originally issued Series B convertible debt and accrued interest of $194,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
 
The F-1 Preferred and F-2 Preferred also include two dividends: (1) Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend; and (2) 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend.   Under the Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend, holders of the preferred shares of the F-1 and F-2 will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by their respective Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum.  Under the 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend, F-1 and F-2 Preferred holders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit from their respective entities.  Annual Net Profit is defined as the respective entity’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and estimated income taxes owed.

In December 2012, the Company offered the holders of its Bridge Loan convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of the Company and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  The Company created a series of preferred stock designated as Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock (the “BL Preferred”).  Each share of the BL Preferred can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two shares of the BL Preferred, a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Bridge Loan debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $3,794,000 which represents conversion of the entire Bridge Loan debt.
 
The BL Preferred include two dividends: (1) Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend; and (2) 10% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend.   Under the Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend, holders of the BL Preferred will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum.  Under the 10% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend, BL Preferred holders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 10%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit.  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and an estimate of income taxes owed.

Overall, the conversions not only eliminated $10,876,000 in debt and its associated interest and principal obligations, but also strengthened our balance sheet and positioned the Company to make other investments in furtherance of our business plan.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $10,978,000 as the current portion of long term debt.  The current portion represents $4,200,000 owed on a real estate contract, which the Company has $100,000 at risk as a non-refundable deposit and $6,587,000 in HCIC seller carry back, which the Company intends to refinance or provider the holders of the HCIC debt an incentive to extend their notes.  There can be no assurances that we will be successful in refinancing or extending the HCIC debt.

Management plans an additional equity funding round in later 2013 Quarter 2 or early 2013 Quarter 3.

Results of Operations

For the Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2011

Our Consolidated Operations

Our revenues are a result of the activities of our Farming Business and Water Business.  Presently, we grow human consumable vegetables and feed crops that include corn and sorghum.  There is an active market for both of our farm products.  We receive water revenues through the lease of water.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized revenues from continuing operations of $1,075,000, compared to $105,000 in revenues from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2011.  The increase of $970,000 was a result of was a result of our purchase of the Dionisio operations partially offset by the Company’s decision to not plant during the 2011 growing cycle and reduce our farming operations in 2012 due to an extended drought in the area.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, operating expenses from continuing operations were $7,848,000 compared to $6,648,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The increase of $1,200,000 was primarily a result of the increase in stock based compensation and warrant expense of $756,000 ($3,434,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $2,678,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011) along with an increase in salaries, legal and general overhead related to the Farming Business and Water Business.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, other income/(expenses) were $(6,617,000) compared to $625,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The decrease in other income of $7,242,000 was due to non-cash charges for the conversion of our Series A, B and Bridge Loan to accretion of debt issuance costs of $3,359,000 an increase is interest expense of $1,571,000 ($2,869,000 in 2012 compared to $1,298,000 in 2011) and the recognition of a gain from a bargain purchase recognized in 2011 from our Orlando acquisition amounting to $1,736,000.

These figures produced a loss from continuing operations of $14,506,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to a loss from operations of $6,015,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we anticipate stock based compensation to decrease while our operating expenses are expected to increase due to increased farming activity and capital investment.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company completed the discontinuation of our operations in the mortgage business.  This segment, a legacy of the Company’s former operating history, is classified as Discontinued Operations in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a loss of $132,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized a net loss from both continuing and discontinued operations of $14,549,000 compared to a net loss of $6,198,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011.  The resulting increase in the loss of $8,351,000 was primarily the result of the items previously discussed with the majority difference in 2012 being not recognizing the $1,736,000 gain from a bargain purchase, the non-cash conversion charges of $3,359,000 and  an increase of interest expense of $1,571,000, for a total of $6,666,000.

At the present time the Company has no available line or letters of credit.

Cash flow from operations has not historically been sufficient to sustain our operations without the above additional sources of capital.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $1,340,000.  Cash flow consumed by our operating activities totaled $4,291,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to operating activities consuming $3,212,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $1,647,000 in current assets and $12,106,000 in current liabilities, which included $10,978,000 as the current portion of long term debt.  The current portion represents $4,200,000 owed on a real estate contract, which the Company has $100,000 at risk as a non-refundable deposit and $6,587,000 in HCIC seller carry back, which the Company intends to refinance or provider the holders of the HCIC debt an incentive to extend their notes.  There can be no assurances that we will be successful in refinancing or extending the HCIC debt.

Subsequent to the close of the December 31, 2012 fiscal year, the Company has further addressed its short-term working capital needs through the completion of the DFP private placement of $5,000,000.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $1,064,000 in current assets and $1,158,000 in current liabilities.  Subsequent to the close of the December 31, 2011 fiscal year, the Company has addressed our short-term working capital needs through a bridge loan (“Bridge Loan”).

Cash flows used by our investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012, were $4,413,000 compared to $2,539,000 used for the year ended December 31, 2011.

In the year ended December 31, 2012 we used $2,497,000 to purchase land, water shares and infrastructure, $1,098,000 to purchase property and equipment (which includes equipment purchased in the DFP transaction), and $900,000 for the purchase of the DFP intangibles.

In the year ended December 31, 2011 we used $1,064,000 to purchase land, water shares and infrastructure, $947,000 to purchase property and equipment, $359,000 for dam rehabilitation, , and a net expenditure of $169,000 to purchase short-term investments.

Cash produced in financing activities was $9,267,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to a production of cash of $5,883,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

During 2012 we issued $3,994,000 in a bridge loan, borrowed $2,369,000 consisting of new bank financing, received a net of $3,119,000 for the Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc. private placement, paid down debt of $315,000, and received $100,000 from exercise of warrants.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of the Company’s results from operations.  The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations where such policies affect the Company’s reported and expected financial results.  For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 91 of this document.  Note that the Company’s preparation of this document requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Measurements and Disclosures

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Acquired

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants.  In determining fair value, the accounting standards established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entity’s own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs).  Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:

 
  Level 1 – Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 
  Level 2 – Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 
  Level 3 – Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs.  Inputs would normally be a reporting entity’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities is their cost, which may differ from fair value.   The carrying value of cash held as demand deposits, money market and certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion approximated its carrying value.  Fair value for long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices of the identical debt instruments or values of comparable borrowings.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Business Acquisitions

Acquisition of HCIC .  During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company acquired a majority share of HCIC.  In order to value the acquired assets and liabilities, the Company considered an appraisal that was performed by an engineering company and also other factors such as replacement costs adjusted for the actual condition of HCIC’s assets.  In arriving at a value, the Company used Level 2 inputs whereby the water rights were valued using comparable prices in markets that are not active.  The infrastructure of HCIC, including water storage, ditches and diversion points, was valued at replacement cost less physical obsolescence and deterioration.  The value of HCIC as of March 2, 2010 was estimated to be $24,196,000.

Acquisition of the Orlando .  During 2011, in a series of step transactions, the Company acquired the Orlando.  In order to arrive at fair value, the Company considered an appraisal performed by a water research company of the Orlando along with other factors such as replacement costs adjusted for the actual condition of Orlando’s assets.  Therefore, the Company used Level 2 inputs whereby the water rights were valued using comparable prices in markets that are not active. The land and associated water assets were valued at a projected discounted cash flow method using crop production and related expenses.  The value of the Orlando was estimated to be $5,195,000. (See also Note 1, Orlando)

Valuation of land and water rights

As we acquire land and water rights, we record the purchase at our cost.  If we acquire a business entity that has land and water rights, we engage an independent appraiser to fair value the assets and liabilities acquired.  (See above, Fair Value of Measurements and Disclosures)

Once per year, management will assess the value of the land and water rights held, and if, in management’s opinion, the rights have become impaired, the Company will establish an allowance against such impairment.  In accordance with ASC 360-10, in early 2013, management performed an analysis to ascertain if there were any events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of our land and water rights may not be recoverable.  Management determined that there were no significant changes or events that would cause a detailed determination of impairments.

Land

Land acquired for farming is recorded at cost.  Some of the land acquired has not been farmed for many years, if not decades.  Therefore, additional expenditures are required to make the land ready for efficient farming.  Expenditures for leveling the land are added to the cost of the land.  Irrigation is not capitalized in the cost of Land (see Property and Equipment below). Land is not depreciated.  However, once per year, Management will assess the value of land held, and in their opinion, if the land has become impaired, Management will write down the value to the estimate of fair value.

Accounting for debt and equity instruments

In December 2012, Two Rivers Water & Farming Company offered the holders of Convertible Debt Series A ($2,000,000 balance); Convertible Debt Series B ($5,332,000), and Bridge Loan ($3,794,000) the opportunity to convert into preferred shares and receive warrants.

As of December 31, 2012, we received from the debt holders the following intent to convert, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents:  Series A for $1,975,000; Series B for $5,107,000 ($100,000 conversion requests were executed after December 31, 2012) and the Bridge Loan for $3,794,000.

Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares, one Two Rivers’ (Parent) warrant is also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3/share of Two Rivers.

Since there are no mandatory conversion features in the preferred shares that are outside the control of Two Rivers, it has been determined that these shares are properly classified as permanent equity.

For Series A, preferred shares in Two Rivers Farms F-1, Inc. (F-1 has changed from a LLC to a Corporation) will be issued. For Series B, preferred shares in Two Rivers Farms F-2, Inc. (F-2 has changed from a LLC to a Corporation) will be issued.  For the Bridge Loan, preferred shares in Two Rivers Water & Farming Company will be issued.

The issuance of the preferred shares and the warrants are subject to beneficial conversion calculations along with fair market value allocations between the warrants and preferred shares.  Additionally, it has been determined that the preferred shares in Two Rivers’ subsidiaries will be classified as non-controlling interest in subsidiaries.

Intangibles

Intangibles with an indefinite life

Two Rivers Water & Farming Company recognizes the estimated fair value of water rights acquired by the Company’s purchase of stock in HCIC and Orlando.   These intangible assets will not be amortized because they have an indefinite remaining useful life based on many factors and considerations, including, the historical upward valuation of water rights within Colorado.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset, which ranges from three to seven years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining term of the applicable leases or their useful lives, whichever is shorter.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and betterments are capitalized.  Upon retirement or disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

Page 49



Share Based Compensation

We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards made to key employees and directors on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  We then expense the fair value over the vesting period of the grant using a straight-line expense model. The fair value of share-based payments requires management to estimate/calculate various inputs such as the volatility of the underlying stock, the expected dividend rate, the estimated forfeiture rate and an estimated life of each option. These assumptions are based on historical trends and estimated future actions of option holders and may not be indicative of actual events which may have a material impact on our financial statements.
 

Farm Revenues

Revenues from farming operations are recognized when crops are sold into the market.  All direct expenses related to farming operations are capitalized as farm inventory and recognized as a direct cost of sale upon the sale of the crops.

Water Revenues

Current water revenues are from the lease of water owned by HCIC to farmers in the HCIC service area.  Water revenues are recognized when the water is used as invoiced at the agreed upon rate per acre foot of water consumed.

Member Assessments

Once per year the HCIC board estimates the HCIC expenses, less anticipated water revenues, and establishes an annual assessment per ownership share.  One-half of the member assessment is recorded in the first quarter of the calendar year and the other one-half of the member assessment is recorded in the third quarter of the calendar year.  Assessments paid by Two Rivers Water & Farming Company to HCIC are eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

HCIC does not reserve against any unpaid assessments.  Assessments due, but unpaid, are secured by the member’s ownership of HCIC.  The value of this ownership is significantly greater than the annual assessments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill Impairment Testing

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend and simplify the rules related to testing goodwill for impairment.  The revised guidance allows an entity to make an initial qualitative evaluation, based on the entity’s events and circumstances, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  The results of this qualitative assessment determine whether it is necessary to perform the currently required two-step impairment test.  The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The issuance of ASU 2011-5 is intended to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance in ASU 2011-5 supersedes the presentation options in ASC Topic 220 and facilitates convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and requiring that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be applied   retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable financial statement user to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.  This ASU is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  At the present, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued in 2012 and 2011, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and change in the market values of our real estate properties. Based on our market risk sensitive instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2012, as described below, it was determined that there was no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as of such date. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.


ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The Reports of the Independent Registered Accounting Firms appears on Page [INSERT PAGE NUMBER] and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing at Pages 73 through 118 hereof are incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Schumacher and Associates, Inc., (“Schumacher”) the independent registered public accountant for Two Rivers Water & Farming Company, was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accountant on April 7, 2011.

On April 7, 2011, the Audit Committee of the Company approved the engagement of new auditors, Eide Bailly LLP, to be the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

The action to engage new auditors was approved by both Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

In connection with the audits of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and through April 7, 2011, no disagreements exist with Schumacher on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal control assessment, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Schumacher have caused them to make reference in connection with their report to the subject of the disagreement(s).

The audit reports from Schumacher and Associates, Inc. for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, contained an opinion which did not include an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.


ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosures Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules  13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports  under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the ’EC's rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 52


 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO” who is also the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, and taking the matters described below into account, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective during reporting period ended December 31, 2012 as discussed below.

Eide Bailly LLP, our registered independent public accounting firm, was not required to and has not issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed 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.  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 (i)           pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(ii)           provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(iii)           provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting because of the following control deficiencies that constitute material weakness:

·  
On July 24, 2012, management concluded, after consultation with the Audit Committee and external auditors that the Company had not properly accounted for a beneficial conversion feature on its Series B Convertible debentures since August 2011.  This error had a material effect on our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012, which is requiring us to restate the financial statements for such periods.
 
Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 53


 
In conjunction with the matter described above, management has re-evaluated its previously provided assessments as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2011, and March 31, 2012 regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and determined that as of these periods, the disclosure controls and procedures were properly designed to detect a material misstatement of its financial statements from occurring in the future.  However, due to a misinterpretation of an accounting standard on beneficial conversion features, the filings and disclosures made on the financial statements representing September 30, 2011, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, the disclosure control was not effective.

·  
During the audit conducted for the year ended December 31, 2012, the independent auditors identified material financial entries that were incorrectly made which focused in two areas:
o  
The conversion of Bridge Loan, Series A and Series B debt and the subsequent recording of these transactions and the double booking of interest expense or improper interest expense classification.
o  
Issuance of the Company’s common stock and fully recognizing related expenses offset by entries into additional paid in capital.

Because of the material weakness identified above, a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement in our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. However, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer believe that the financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

The remediation effort outlined below is intended to address the identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

We plan to engage an outside, independent reviewer of our 10Q and 10K filings to review these filings before submitting to our outside auditors for review or audit.  We plan to continue this service until the reviewer comments are minimal and immaterial.

For complex entries, such as the Bridge Loan, Series A and Series B debt conversion into preferred shares and warrants, we will continue to use outside technical resources; however, we will monitor the booking of complex entries more closely.

We have activated an immediate recording process of individual, one-time journal entries, particularly with stock issuance activity.

We will consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end 2013 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as otherwise noted above, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the facts described above and employ any additional tools and resources deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.


ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

The Company has established a Board of Conduct, an Audit Committee, a Charter and a Governance Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating Committee all of which have specific Board-adopted charters.   The charter for each committee was previously filed as exhibits to our 2010 Form 10-K.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Company has established a Board of Conduct, an Audit Committee, a Charter and a Governance Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating Committee all of which have specific Board-adopted charters.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL

Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities engaged in a variety of businesses.  Thus, there exist potential conflicts of interest including, among other things, time, efforts and corporation opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities. While each officer and director of our business is engaged in business activities outside of our business, they devote to our business such time as they believe to be necessary.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

Presently no requirement is contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or policies which require officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention outside the scope of their service to the Company.  Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise.  Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company.  We have no intention of merging with or acquiring an affiliate, associate person or business opportunity from any affiliate or any client of any such person.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.  Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based solely on our review of copies of such reports received, and representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, except for Mr. Bradley Walker, who owned 25,000 shares on December 31, 2012, all of the Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in compliance with all applicable requirements.

Employment Agreements

The Company’s Board has a separate compensation committee; which determines the compensation for the Company’s officers and directors.  Members of the committee are Gregg Campbell (Chair), Dennis Channer and Brad Walker.

The compensation committee approves employment agreements and bonuses paid to the Company’s executives.  There is no set schedule for the payment of bonuses.  Bonuses are considered when certain benchmarks are reach by the Company.  The benchmarks can include such activities as a successful capital or debt raise, operational performance, and acquisitions of significant assets or agreements that is accretive to the Company’s business.  Both the benchmarks and the amount and type of bonus are determined by the Company’s Board of Directors through its compensation committee.

The Company’s CEO, John McKowen, can recommend to the compensation committee salaries and bonuses.  However, the independent compensation committee has the final determination in compensation for the Company’s executives.   The Company’s CEO does not sit on the compensation committee and recuses himself from any and all votes regarding his compensation by the Board of Directors and/or the compensation committee.

All in-place employment agreements provides for accelerated option vesting in the event of a change in control.  Change in control is defined as the sale or other disposition to a person, entity or group of 50% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company taken as a whole.

On September 9, 2004, (and amended on June 15, 2005 and December 16, 2010) the Company entered into an employment agreement with John McKowen, as President and CEO.  The initial term of the contract was two years, which renews automatically for successive one year terms unless and until either party delivers notice of termination within  30 days of the expiration of the then current term.

On November 1, 2008, (and amended on December 16, 2010) the Company entered into an employment agreement with Wayne Harding.  The initial term of the contract was one year, which renews automatically for successive one year terms unless and until either party delivers notice of termination within 30 days of the expiration of the then current term.

TWO RIVERS WATER & FARMING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Two Rivers Water & Farming Company
Denver, Colorado
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Two Rivers Water & Farming Company (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. Two Rivers Water & Farming Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Two Rivers Water & Farming Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TWO RIVERS WATER & FARMING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
The following is a summary of some of the information contained in this document.  Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this document to “Two Rivers,” or the “Company” is to Two Rivers Water & Farming Company and its subsidiaries.
 

Our Business

Two Rivers has developed and operates a revolutionary new water business model suitable for arid regions in the southwestern United States whereby the Company synergistically integrates irrigated farming and wholesale water distribution into one company, utilizing a practice of rotational farm fallowing.  Rotational farm fallowing, as it applies to water, is a best methods farm practice whereby portions of farm acreage are temporarily fallowed in cyclic rotation to give soil an opportunity to reconstitute itself.  As a result of fallowing, an increment of irrigation water can be made available for municipal use without permanently drying up irrigated farmland.  Collaborative rotational farm fallowing agreements between farmers and municipalities make surplus irrigation water available for urban use during droughts and, conversely, make surplus urban water available for irrigation during relatively wet periods. The Company produces and markets high value vegetable and fodder crops on its irrigated farmland and provides wholesale water distribution through farm fallowing agreements in its initial area of focus on the Arkansas River and its tributaries on the southern Front Range of Colorado.

Our Corporate Structure

Two Rivers Water & Farming Company

Two Rivers Water & Farming Company is the parent company and owns 100% of Two Rivers Farms, LLC (“Two Rivers Farms”) and Two Rivers Water, LLC (“Two Rivers Water”).  Two Rivers Farms owns 100% of Two Rivers Farms F-1, Inc., Two Rivers Farms F-2, Inc. and Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc.  Two Rivers Farms also owns unencumbered farmland that will eventually be redeveloped and brought into production.  Two Rivers Water & Farming Company owns 91% of the Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company (sometimes referred to elsewhere in this annual report as HCIC) and 100% of the Orlando Reservoir No. 2 Company LLC. The Company’s organizational structure is illustrated below:

Our Water Business


Two Rivers Water, LLC (“TR Water”)

During 2011, the Company formed TR Water to secure additional water rights, rehabilitate water diversion, conveyance and storage facilities and to develop one or more special water districts.

The Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company (“HCIC”)

In order to supply its farms with irrigation water, the Company began to acquire shares in HCIC, a historic mutual ditch company formed by area farmers in order to develop and put to use their water rights on the two rivers.  At the time HCIC was formed in 1944, the water in the two rivers was continuously augmented by groundwater pumped from coal mines that operated in the watershed.  The augmented and natural flow of the rivers, along with the water rights and facilities of HCIC Company were sufficient to provide reliable irrigation water for the shareholders and their expanding farm enterprises.  However, in the years following World War II, the mines began to cease production and, therefore, stopped pumping groundwater out of the mine shafts and into the river channels.  As a result of the reduction in downstream flow in the rivers, the extent of farming in the watershed could no longer be reliably irrigated.  In some years, crops failed for lack of late summer irrigation water and,

Page 79

 
over time, once thriving farms withered.  Because of such failures and the reduced flow in the rivers, the shareholders of HCIC were unable or unwilling to adequately maintain the water diversion, conveyance and storage facilities.  Therefore, at the time the Company decided to invest in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed, the shares in HCIC had become less valuable and the residual farming in the area had reverted primarily to pasture and dry grazing.

Beginning in 2009, the Company systematically acquired shares in HCIC and, as of December 31, 2010, had acquired 91% of the shares, which it continues to own.   The shares were acquired from willing sellers in a series of arm’s length, negotiated transactions for cash, promissory notes, and the Company’s common shares.  As the controlling shareholder, the Company currently operates HCIC and has undertaken a long-term program to refurbish and restore the historic water management facilities.  Based on management’s estimate of value, which included management’s consideration of an independent appraisal, we determined that the Company’s interest in HCIC had a book value, measured through fair value accounting, of $24,196,000, on December 31, 2011.  HCIC’s assets, liabilities and results are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

Orlando Reservoir No. 2 Company, LLC (“Orlando”)

Orlando is a Colorado limited liability company originally formed to divert water from the Huerfano River, for storage in the Orlando Reservoir to be re-timed and used for irrigation of farmland in Huerfano and Pueblo Counties.  At the time the Company began investing in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed, Orlando owned the historic diversion structure, a conveyance system and a reservoir and also owned a small amount of irrigable farmland.  However, the water facilities were in deteriorated condition.  Beginning in January, 2011, through a series of transactions, the latest of which closed on September 7, 2011, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Orlando (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TR Water) for a combination of cash, stock and seller-financing.  Promptly following the acquisition, the Company began the program for refurbishing the facilities to restore their operating efficiency.  The stated purchase price for Orlando was $3,450,000; however, for reporting the financial statements dated September 30, 2011 (and pending the results of an independent appraisal), the purchase price was computed as $3,156,750 based on cash paid, the seller carry-back note and 650,000 of the Company’s common shares issued to the seller.  The purchase price was allocated $3,000,000 to water assets and $100,000 to farm land.  The Company also recorded a forgiveness of debt of $384,000, which was computed as the difference between the cash paid plus the Company’s stock issued to the sellers plus the new seller carry back note less the previous note owed to the seller.

Following the purchase of Orlando and considering the refurbishment already underway, the Orlando was independently appraised as of January 16, 2012 at $5,195,000, considering agricultural irrigation as its highest and best use.  The gain from the bargain purchase of $1,736,000 was allocated $1,520,000 to water assets and $216,000 to land.

The Orlando assets include not only the reservoir, but also the senior-most direct flow water right on the Huerfano River (the #1 priority), along with the #9 priority and miscellaneous junior water rights.  These water rights are now integrated with the Company’s other water rights on the Huerfano and Cucharas River to optimize the natural water supply.  In addition, the water storage rights, and the physical storage reservoirs, are critical to water supply reliability in the watershed, because the storage system allows the natural spring runoff from snowmelt to be captured and re-timed for delivery to irrigate crops throughout the growing season.  Coupled with the Company’s distribution facilities and farmland, these water diversion and storage rights increase the reliability of water supplies to irrigate and grow our crops.

Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc. (“DFP”)

As part of the purchase of DFP, the Company acquired 146 shares in the Bessemer Irrigating Ditch Company, which manages and administers the water rights in the Bessemer Ditch.  The Bessemer Ditch holds very senior water rights on the Arkansas River.  The Bessemer Ditch has sustained the Dionisio farm operations for more than 60 years, through all hydrological and weather cycles.

The Company’s purchase of DFP is further described herein under the heading “Our Farming”.

Storage Reservoirs and Infrastructure

As part of its comprehensive water and farming system, the Company owns and operates storage reservoirs and ditches.  Reservoirs allow water owners to store their water and plan the water’s distribution throughout the growing season.  Currently, the Company owns reservoirs associated with HCIC and Orlando, but is also planning to develop additional reservoirs in strategic locations in the Arkansas River watershed.  The Company is also acquiring land that can be utilized for significant water storage reservoirs.  The development of much needed storage reservoirs in the area will allow the Company to offer storage to other water users in the area.  Through water exchanges and other water-related transactions, the reservoirs can potentially increase and strengthen the Company’s existing water rights.

On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired land just downstream of the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek.  This land includes permitted gravel pits which the Company expects to convert to water storage reservoirs.  The Company is planning to build a 30,000 AF storage project at this property that would be developed in conjunction with existing water users.  This reservoir will support farming operations on the Arkansas River undertaken by us and by others.

The storage reservoirs and infrastructure associated with HCIC and the Orlando are described above under the headings “The   Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company” and “Orlando Reservoir No. 2 Company, LLC”.

As of the date of this report, the Company has the operable right to store approximately 15,000 acre-feet of water within the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers watershed in three separate reservoirs.  When the Company’s reservoirs on the Huerfano and Cucharas Rivers are fully restored, we will have the operable capacity and legal right to store in excess of 70,000 acre-feet of water.  Similarly, based on its portfolio of water rights, some of which are more senior than others, the Company has the right to divert from the natural flows of the two rivers in excess of 90 cubic feet per second.  Seasonal variability in the natural flow of the rivers, as well as the priorities of other water users in the system, limits the Company’s ability to divert the decreed amounts of water on a continuous basis.  The Company’s current water rights produce a long-term historic average annual diversion of approximately 15,000 acre-feet of water which provides approximately 10,000 acre-feet of consumptive use at the plant.

The 15,000 acre-feet average is based on a 50+ year period of record and also relies on historic studies of these rights by a variety of engineers at various times.  It is common practice within the water industry in Colorado to use long periods of time to create reliable averages of water flow.  The Company believes that using averages relating to only recent years can be misleading.  If one of those years was particularly dry or wet, it would skew the averages.  For example, in four out of the last ten years, there has been an extreme drought in the Western United States and in the Arkansas River watershed, our area of operations.  Due to this drought condition, our flow  averages for the most recent ten, five and three fiscal years are 8,200 AF, 10,500 AF and 10,400 AF, respectfully.  A similar request for the same averages for the decade beginning in 1980 would be about approximately 15,900 AF, 18,500 AF and 17,200 AF.

“Consumptive use” is the term for the portion of a water diversion right that is actually consumed by its beneficial use.  Where the beneficial use is agricultural irrigation, consumptive use represents the amount of water consumed by the irrigated crop or evaporated on the farm.  After deducting consumptive use from the amount of water diverted and applied to irrigation, the remainder is described as “return flow” to the system.  Such return flows are generally subject to appropriation downstream.  Only the consumptive use portion of a given water right is subject to transfer (that is, a change in the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use).  Therefore, water rights are often assigned monetary value based on the consumptive use portion.  Although consumptive use varies by crop, rainfall, temperature and other factors, in Southeastern Colorado, crops generally consume about two acre-feet of applied water for each acre planted.  In order to provide that amount of consumptive use water, an irrigator must generally apply three acre feet of water (allowing for predictable return flow equal to about one-third of the applied water).  The Company measures its water rights both in terms of the amount of the diversion or storage right, as the case may be, but also in terms of the historic consumptive use.

Other Water Transactions and Matters

On September 20, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year lease with the Pueblo Board of Water Works for 500 acre-feet of water to be delivered annually by PBWW to the Company.  The Company planned to use the water to support farming but also to demonstrate the ability to store such water in the Company’s reservoirs through a judicially-approved exchange.  In late 2011, the Company filed two water court cases (District Court, Water Division 2, Colorado) designed to improve the overall efficiency of the Company’s emerging system (including the ability to exchange water between the Arkansas River and the Company’s storage reservoirs).

The first water court case, designated 11CW94, seeks approval of the Company’s plan to divert and store water even when its rights are not in priority by replacing the water downstream pursuant to the PBWW lease.  Although the water court’s ultimate approval to routinely carry out such an exchange awaits the completion of the judicial process, the State Engineer administratively granted a temporary substitute water supply plan (“SWSP”) implementing such an exchange during the interim until the case is adjudicated.  Under the SWSP, the Company will be allowed to capture Huerfano River water for upstream storage and later use, even when our rights are not in priority.  To avoid injury to senior water rights which have priority over the Company’s rights during the period of the exchange, the PBWW will release water pursuant to the replacement water contract upon the order of the Company.  By means of such exchanges, the Company plans to eventually integrate its water supply system with the overall water use and delivery systems served by the Arkansas River and its tributaries.
 
 
The second water court case, 11CW96, seeks changes to the place of use and point of diversion for the Robert Rice Ditch (Water Right No. 19).  The proposed changes would not only increase the flexibility of the Company’s water system but would also make Company water available to augment supplies for the Huerfano County town of Gardner.  The second water court case seeks to allow the Robert Rice Ditch direct diversion water right to be moved to storage in the Orlando Reservoir under the Company’s storage right so that the water can be re-timed and used more efficiently to irrigate the Company’s farmland or, alternatively, to augment well depletions along the Arkansas River and its tributaries.

Our Farming Business

In furtherance of developing irrigated farmland, the Company has engaged in both: 1) acquiring farmland that is currently producing crops supported by relatively secure water rights; and 2) acquiring farmland that has not been productive for many years, but maintains significant water rights.  Presently, we are focused on acquiring farmland which is proximate to our integrated water system and farmland which has directly associated senior water rights.  By capturing water in our reservoirs and releasing it later for irrigation purposes we expect to ameliorate the inconsistencies of seasonal and annual water availability to our farms.

Page 82


 
The Company currently owns approximately 5,210 gross acres, but not all of those acres have yet been brought into production.  During 2012, the Company produced cash crops from 482 acres of irrigated farmland.  Farming production is discussed below under the heading “Two Rivers Farms, LLC”.  Subject to the availability of capital, the Company expects to acquire and develop in excess of 30,000 acres of high yield irrigated along the Arkansas River in Colorado within the next five years.

The Company’s current crop production consists of human-consumption produce (including cabbage, parsnips and pumpkins), animal fodder crops (including sorghum and alfalfa), and exchange traded grains (corn).  The Company expects to increase the variety of crops we produce as we expand our farming operations, improve our water system and secure contracts with purchasers.

The Company commenced a systematic program to:
·  
purchase and redevelop available farmland by deep-plowing the fields, laser-leveling the planting areas (to optimize plant absorption and minimize runoff), installing irrigation facilities, and applying fertilizers,
 
·  
purchase a suite of water rights (including both diversion rights and storage rights),
 
·  
refurbish the historic ditch systems and reservoirs to restore and upgrade their efficiency,
 
·  
re-establish a sustainable and profitable farming enterprise which could achieve the scale required by modern farming methods and which could put the revived water supply to consistent beneficial use,
 
·  
develop a customer base to consistently buy the farms’ output at prices sufficient to generate profits, and
 
·  
build a reliable, integrated water supply system capable of flexibly serving both agricultural and urban needs.
 
In redeveloping our farmland, we deploy state-of-the-art methods and equipment with the aim of optimizing product yield, water efficiencies, and labor inputs.

Two Rivers Farms, LLC (“Farms”)

In order to put its water rights and facilities to productive use, the Company formed Farms to manage farms in proximity to our water distribution facilities and has undertaken a program of redeveloping the land, introducing modern agricultural and water management practices including deep plowing, laser leveling and installing efficient irrigation facilities.

During the 2010 growing season, approximately 400 acres of the Company’s land were farmed, primarily for wheat and feed corn, to determine the fertility of the soil and the most efficient and cost effective means of irrigation.

During 2011, the Company developed innovative ways to add irrigable acreage.  As a result, the Company developed 533 acres in 2011.  These additions increased the Company’s farmable acreage to 713.  However, because of the extensive drought in the area Farms did not produce a 2011 crop.

Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc. (“DFP”)

In 2012, the Company acquired Dionisio Farms and Produce, LLC (an unrelated party) in a two stage transaction.  On June 15, 2012, the Company acquired certain land and water rights from Dionisio Farms and Produce, LLC and its affiliated entities.  The Company purchased 146 acres of irrigable farmland, and the accompanying 146 shares of the Bessemer Ditch Irrigation Company, a senior water right holder on the main stem of the Arkansas River, and two supplemental ground water wells.  Further, the Company entered into leases for an additional 279 irrigable acres, of which 83 acres are subject to a 20 year lease.  Dionisio has been producing vegetable crops for over 60 years and has well-established commercial relationships for the sale and distribution of its crops.  The Company is operating these acquired assets under the Dionisio name and entered into employment agreements with members of the Dionisio family to maintain the experience and skill in producing and marketing of the vegetable crops.

Commencing in October 2012, DFP offered its preferred shares to accredited investors in a private placement.  This offering, 2,500,000 shares at $2.00/share, closed in February 2013 and generated net proceeds (after offering costs) of $4,621,000.  Proceeds of the offering were used as follows:
·  
Reimbursement to the Company of $630,000 for the Dionisio first closing in June, 2012, net of bank financing;
 
·  
Second stage of the Dionisio purchase transaction in November, 2012 of $900,000 which is net of seller carry back;
 
·  
Purchase of a neighboring farm for $56,000 plus assumption and new debt,
 
·  
Loan to the Company of $1,000,000; and
 
·  
The remainder of $2,035,000 as working capital and reserves.
 

On November 2, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of DFP and its affiliated entities through the payment of $900,000 and a seller carry-back promissory note of $600,000 (“Seller Note”).  The Seller Note is due in five years, carries interest at 6% payable quarterly.  Principal of the Seller Note is due at maturity.  The Seller Note is secured by certain farm equipment that was purchased in this transaction.

Two Rivers Farms F-1, Inc. (“F-1”) and Two Rivers Farms F-2, Inc. (“F-2”)

F-1

On January 21, 2011 the Company formed F-1, then a limited liability company, to hold certain farming assets and as an entity to raise debt financing for the Company’s expansion of the farming business.  In February 2011, F-1 sold $2,000,000 in 5% per annum, 3-year Series A convertible promissory notes that, as a class, also participate in 1/3 of the crop profit from the related land.  Proceeds from these notes were used to acquire and improve irrigation systems, pay for the farmland and retire seller carry-back debt from the purchase of the H/C Irrigation Company.  This allowed water available through the H/C Irrigation Company to be used to irrigate the F-1 farms without encumbrance.

In December 2012, F-1 offered the holders of the Series A convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-1 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares in F-1, one warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series A debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $1,975,000 of the debt thereby leaving $25,000 of the originally issued Series A convertible debt and accrued interest of $86,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
 
As part of the debt conversion, Two Rivers Farms F-1, LLC converted into a corporation and authorized and issued a series of preferred shares designated as Series F-1-A Convertible Preferred Stock (“F-1 Preferred”)
 
The F-1 Preferred includes two dividends: (1) Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend; and (2) 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend.   Under the Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend, holders of the F-1 Preferred will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by F-1’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum.  Under the 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend, F-1 Preferred holders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit.  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and estimated income taxes owed.
 
While the F-1 Preferred are outstanding, F-1 covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of its shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding F-1 Preferred: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of F-1; (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity); (3) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (4) to observe all financial covenants; (5) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Company; (6) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the F-1 Preferred (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (7) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due the Profit Participation; (8) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (9) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; and (10) to limit the number of its Directors to three.

Page 85

 
Additionally, while the F-1 Preferred are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the F-1 Preferred, to appoint three directors to F-1’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the F-1 Preferred (the “PS Director”).  The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of F-1, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the F-1’s financial reports; (7)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Company’s common stock issuable on conversion of the F-1 Preferred to common stock of the Company; and (b) for the common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and  (8) to certify at least annually that, to the Company’s actual knowledge, neither F-1 nor the Company is in breach of these covenants.
Upon certain events of default under the F-1 Preferred, F-1 Preferred shareholders can cause a replacement of a member of the F-1 Board of Directors. The Conversion Agreement with F-1 debtholders is attached as an exhibit to this to this annual report on Form 10-K.

F-2

On April 5, 2011 the Company formed F-2, then a limited liability company, to hold certain farming and water assets and as an entity to raise additional debt for the Company’s expansion of the farming business.  During the summer of 2011, F-2 sold $5,332,000 in 6% per annum, 3-year Series B convertible promissory notes that, as a class, also participate in 10% of the crop revenue from the related lands.  Further, for each $2.50 borrowed, the lender received a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company’s stock at $2.50.  These warrants expired on December 31, 2012.  Proceeds from these notes were used to acquire the Orlando and additional farmland and to install irrigation systems.

In December 2012, F-2 offered the holders of the Series B convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-2 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  Each preferred share in F-2 can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares, a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series B debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $5,107,000 of the debt thereby leaving $225,000 of the originally issued Series B convertible debt and accrued interest of $194,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
 
As part of the debt conversion, Two Rivers Farms F-2, LLC converted into a corporation and authorized and issued a series of preferred shares designated as Series F-2-B Convertible Preferred Stock (“F-2 Preferred”)
 
The F-2 Preferred includes two dividends: (1) Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend; and (2) 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend.   Under the Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend, holders of the F-2 Preferred will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by F-2’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum.  Under the 25% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend, F-2 Preferred holders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit.  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and estimated income taxes owed.

While the F-2 Preferred are outstanding, F-2 covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of its shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding F-2 Preferred: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of F-2; (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity); (3) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (4) to observe all financial covenants; (5) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Company; (6) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the F-2 Preferred (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (7) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due the Profit Participation; (8) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (9) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; and (10) to limit the number of its Directors to three.
 
Additionally, while the F-2 Preferred are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the F-2 Preferred, to appoint three directors to F-2’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the F-2 Preferred (the “PS Director”).  The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of F-2, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the F-2’s financial reports; (7)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the F-2 Preferred in the event of conversion shares to common stock of the Company; and (b) for the common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and  (8) to certify at least annually that, to the Company’s actual knowledge, neither F-2 nor the Company is in breach of these covenants.
Upon certain events of default under the F-2 Preferred, F-2 Preferred shareholders can cause a replacement of a member of the F-2 Board of Directors.  The Conversion Agreement with F-2 is attached as an exhibit to this to this annual report on Form 10-K.

Both F-1 and F-2 lease their farmland and farming assets to Farms as the operator of the Company’s farming activities.

Other Farming

Approximately 1,500 acres of irrigable farmland in the Butte Valley acquired by the Company in connection with the Orlando purchase (the “Lascar-Butte Acres”) is subject to a conditional right to a repurchase by the sellers.  The repurchase option is for $1.00 but is only effective on or after September 7, 2021 and only if the sellers have previously offered to purchase from the Company at least 2,500 SFE (single family equivalent) water service connections and tendered payment of a $6,500 Water Resource Fee per SFE connection pursuant to an agreement.  Under that repurchase scenario, the

Page 87

 
Company would have already begun providing tap water service to the Lascar-Butte Acres and received a minimum of $16,250,000 in Water Resource Fees from sellers in exchange for the service connections.  Also, the sellers of Orlando had the right, subject to certain conditions, to repurchase Lascar-Butte Acres for $3,000,000.  However, as noted below, the repurchase right has been terminated based on actions of the Company to rehabilitate Orlando facilities and a portion of the associated farmland.

In 2011 and 2012, the Company made substantial improvements to the Lascar-Butte Acres to restore the farmable land and enhance the associated water rights.  These improvements include but are not limited to installing an irrigation system, rebuilding the outlet works and diversion structure at the Orlando Reservoir, rebuilding the Orlando Ditch, laser leveling the farm land, purchasing nearby land, making filings with the water courts to enhance the water rights, and planting sorghum for harvest.  These improvements allowed the Company to commence farming on the Lascar-Butte Acres in 2012 with a crop of sorghum.

Through December 31, 2012, the Company had expended in excess of $2,380,000 in rebuilding and preparing the Lascar-Butte Acres for farming and developing the associated water rights.  The Company believes these substantial improvements satisfy certain obligations under the Orlando acquisition agreements and terminate the seller’s option to re-purchase the Lascar-Butte Acres.  The seller had an option to repurchase the Lascar-Butte Acres by September 7, 2013, if the Company did not use its best efforts to complete substantial improvements to the Lascar-Butte Acres, or if the Company did not commence farming on Lascar-Butte Acres.

Other Matters

Bridge Loan Debt Conversion to Preferred Stock

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company closed a short-term bridge financing (the “Bridge Loan”) in the total amount of $3,994,000.  The Company’s CEO participated as a lender in the Bridge Loan in the amount of $994,000.  The Bridge Loan pays monthly interest at 12% per annum with $200,000 due on October 31, 2012 and the remainder was to be due on May 31, 2013.  The Bridge Loan holders also received one share of the Company’s stock for each $10 of Bridge Loan participation.  Participants in the Bridge Loan have the option of converting the principal into the Company’s common stock at the price offered in a take-out equity financing which the Company plans to complete.  In conjunction with the closing of the Bridge Loan, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to the Bridge Loan holders.  The fair value of the shares issued was determined to be $602,000, which is recorded as a debt discount being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related Bridge Loan.

In October 2012, the Company obtained extensions to May 31, 2013 on $3,794,000 of the principal.  In exchange for these extensions, the terms remain the same and the Company will issue the note holders restricted stock of the Company computed by multiplying the face amount of the note by 10% and dividing by $1.75 (per share).  These shares were issued in the quarter ending December 31, 2012 and the cost was fully amortized from November 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.  The fair value of the shares issued was determined to be $271,000, which is recorded as a debt discount being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related Bridge Loan.

In December 2012, the Company offered the holders of the Bridge Loan convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of the Company and receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  The Company created a series of preferred stock designated as Series BL.  Each share of the Series BL can be converted into one share of common stock of Two
 
Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 88

 
Rivers.  For every two shares of the Series BL, a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.  As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Bridge Loan debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $3,794,000 which represents conversion of the entire Bridge Loan debt.
 
As part of the debt conversion, the Company authorized and issued a series of preferred shares designated as Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock (“BL Preferred”)
 
The BL Preferred include two dividends: (1) Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend; and (2) 10% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend.   Under the Cumulative 8% Annual Dividend, holders of the BL Preferred will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum.  Under the 10% Annual Net Profits Participation Dividend, BL Preferred holders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 10%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit.  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and an estimate of income taxes owed.
 
While the BL Preferred are outstanding, BL covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of its shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding BL Preferred: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company; and (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity); (3) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (4) to observe all financial covenants; (5) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations; (6) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (7) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 10% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due  the Profit Participation; (8) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; and (9) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; (10) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (11) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (12) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (13) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the Company’s financial reports; (14)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and  (15) to certify at least annually that, to the Company’s actual knowledge, the Company is not in breach of a these covenants.

Corporate Evolution

Prior to 2009, the Company was named Navidec Financial Services, Inc. (“Navidec”) and had been engaged in mortgage lending and other enterprises unrelated to its current lines of business.  Navidec was incorporated in the state of Colorado on December 20, 2002. On July 28, 2009, Navidec formed a wholly-owned Colorado corporation for the purpose of acquiring farm and water assets in the Huerfano/Cucharas watershed.  On November 19, 2009, with shareholder approval, Navidec changed its name to Two Rivers Water Company. On December 11, 2012, with shareholder approval, the Company changed its name to Two Rivers Water & Farming Company.

Management plans for funding future operations

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $1,340,000 in demand deposits.  Subsequent to December 31, 2012 and prior to March 1, 2013, the Company raised an additional $1,600,000, before placement fees, from its DFP private placement.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $10,978,000 as the current portion of long term debt.  The current portion represents $4,200,000 owed on a real estate contract, which the Company has $100,000 at risk as a non-refundable deposit and $6,587,000 in HCIC seller carry back, which the Company intends to refinance or provider the holders of the HCIC debt an incentive to extend their notes.  There can be no assurances that we will be successful in refinancing or extending the HCIC debt.

Management plans an additional equity funding round in later 2013 Quarter 2 or early 2013 Quarter 3.

Discontinued Operations

In early 2009, the Company (then named Navidec Financial Services, Inc.) discontinued its short-term real estate lending and development in order to focus all its efforts on the irrigated farming and water business.  The whine down of discontinued operations was completed by December 31, 2011.

Reclassification

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.  Certain labels of accounts/classifications have been changed.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, Two Rivers Water & Farming Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Those are readily convertible into cash and not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates.  The recorded amounts for cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject Two Rivers to significant concentrations of credit risk include cash equivalents, marketable investments, advances and accounts receivable.  The Company maintains its cash and investment balances in the form of bank demand deposits, money market accounts that management believes to be of high credit quality.  Accounts receivable are typically uncollateralized and are derived from transactions with and from customers primarily located in the United States.

The Company’s farming revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $979,000 consisted of six customers, of which three customers each represented 20% or more of revenue.

Fair Value of Measurements and Disclosures

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Acquired

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants.  In determining fair value, the accounting standards established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entity’s own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs).  Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:

 
  Level 1 – Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 
  Level 2 – Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 
  Level 3 – Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs.  Inputs would normally be a reporting entity’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements:

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities is their cost, which may differ from fair value.   The carrying value of cash held as demand deposits, money market and certificates of deposit, marketable investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value.  Marketable investments are valued at Level 1 due to readily available market quotes. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion approximated its carrying value.  Fair value for long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices of the identical debt instruments or values of comparable borrowings.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements:

Business Acquisitions

Acquisition of HCIC .  During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company acquired a majority of the shares of HCIC.  In order to value the acquired assets and liabilities, management considered an independent appraisal of these assets and used Level 2 inputs whereby the water rights were valued using comparable prices in markets that are not active.  The infrastructure of HCIC, including water storage, ditches and diversion points, was valued at replacement cost less physical obsolescence and deterioration.  The value of HCIC as of March 2, 2010 was estimated to be $24,196,000.  Since acquisition, management has not recorded any impairment to HCIC.

Page 92


 
Acquisition of the Orlando .  During 2011, in a series of step transactions, the Company acquired the Orlando assets.  The Company’s management used Level 2 and 3 inputs to determine value and also considered an independent appraisal.  Level 2 was used whereby the water rights were valued using comparable prices in markets that are not active.  Level 3 was also used where the land and associated water assets were valued at a projected discounted cash flow method using crop production and related expenses.  The value of the Orlando was estimated to be $5,195,000.

Accounts Receivable

The Company carries its accounts receivable, net at management’s expectation of collection.  As of December 31, 2012 the Company reserved $21,000 against a $43,000 receivable from a customer based on past payment performance.  HCIC has a $94,000 receivable without any reserve based on past collectability and having shares in HCIC as collateral for collection.  DFP has a $69,000 receivable from crop insurance proceeds which was fully collected by February, 2013.

Notes Receivable

The Company carries its notes receivable at cost or loan balance, subject to the valuation procedures described below.  The book value of these financial instruments is representative of their fair values. As of December 31, 2011 the Company eliminated the one remaining mortgage note receivable from its financial records.  However, the Company is continuing its collection process through a law firm action (see Note 11).

Investments

Investments in publicly traded equity securities over which Two Rivers does not exercise significant influence are recorded at market value in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic ASC 320 "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities," which requires that all applicable investments be classified as trading securities, available for sale securities or held-to-maturity securities. Comprehensive income includes unrealized net gain or loss and changes in equity from the market price variations in stock and warrants held by the Company.

Land

Land acquired for farming is recorded at cost.  Some of the land acquired has not been farmed for many years, if not decades.  Therefore, additional expenditures are required to make the land ready for efficient farming.  Expenditures for leveling the land are added to the cost of the land.  Irrigation is not capitalized in the cost of Land (see Property and Equipment below). Land is not depreciated.  However, once per year, Management will assess the value of land held, and in their opinion, if the land has become impaired, Management will establish an allowance against the land.

Page 93


 
Water rights and infrastructure

Subsequent to purchase of water rights and water infrastructure, management periodically evaluates the carrying value of its assets, and if the carrying value is in excess of fair market value, the Company will establish an impairment allowance.  Currently, there are no impairments on the Company’s land and water shares.  No amortization or depreciation is taken on the water rights.

Intangibles

Two Rivers recognizes the estimated fair value of water rights acquired by the Company’s purchase of stock in HCIC and Orlando.   These intangible assets will not be amortized because they have an indefinite remaining useful life based on many factors and considerations, including, the historical upward valuation of water rights within Colorado.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset which ranges from three to seven years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and betterments are capitalized.  Upon retirement or disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

Below is a summary of premises and equipment:

Impairments

Property and Equipment

Once per year we review all property, equipment and software owned by the Company and compared the net book value of such assets with the fair market value of each piece of equipment having a net book value greater than $5,000.  If it is determined that the net book value is greater than the fair market value, an impairment will be recorded.  If impairment is necessary, a loss on the value of the affected asset will be recorded, and the impairment will not be reversed in future periods.


Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 94



Land

Once per year we review each parcel of land owned by the Company together with improvements to each parcel and compare the carrying cost with the fair market value.  If it appears that our carrying value may be greater than the fair market value, an independent appraisal will be ordered.  If the appraised value is less than our carrying value, an impairment will be recorded.  If impairment is necessary, a loss on the value of our land will be recorded, and the impairment will not be reversed in future periods.

Water rights and infrastructure

Once per year we assess the value of the water rights held by the Company, comparing our estimated values with recent sales of comparable water rights.  In the event that such assessment indicates that the carrying value is greater than the fair market value of the water rights, an impairment will be recorded.  If impairment is necessary, a loss on value of our water rights will be recorded, and the impairment will not be reversed in future periods.

Revenue Recognition

Farm Revenues

Revenues from farming operations are recognized when sold into the market.  All direct expenses related to farming operations are capitalized as farm inventory and recognized as a direct cost of sale upon the sale of the crops.

Water Revenues

Current water revenues are from the lease of water own by HCIC to farmers in the HCIC service area and through re-leasing of our water from the Pueblo Board of Water lease.   Water revenues are recognized when the water is consumed.

Member Assessments

Once per year the HCIC board estimates HCIC’s expenses, less anticipated water revenues, and establishes an annual assessment per ownership share.  One-half of the member assessment is recorded in the first quarter of the calendar year and the other one-half of the member assessment is recorded in the third quarter of the calendar year.  Assessments paid by Two Rivers Water Company to HCIC are eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

HCIC does not reserve against any unpaid assessments.  Assessments due, but unpaid, are secured by the member’s ownership of HCIC.  The value of this ownership is significantly greater than the annual assessments.

Stock Based Compensation

Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718.  Under the fair value recognition provisions of this standard, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period.  The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes.  The valuation provisions of ASC 718 apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified.
 
Two Rivers Water & Farming Company -- 2012 Annual Report and 10K
 
Page 95

 
All options granted prior to the adoption of ASC 718 and outstanding during the periods presented were fully-vested at the date of adoption.
 
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110 which was issued to express the understanding that the use of a “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB 107 in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with ASC 718 would be acceptable beyond December 31, 2007.  The Company adopted this standard beginning January 2008.

Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes represents actual or estimated amounts payable on tax return filings each year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  The change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax provision or benefit for the period.  Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustment to the tax provision or benefit in the period of enactment.

The Company uses a two-step process to evaluate a tax position.  The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position.  The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.  A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met.  Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.  The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012, is not material to its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.  The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate.  The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current tax law and policy that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing examinations by federal and state tax authorities.  To date, there have been no reviews performed by federal or state tax authorities on any of the Company's previously filed returns.  The Company's 2009 and later tax returns are still subject to examination.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributed to Two Rivers available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Page 96


 
The dilutive effect of the outstanding 6,134,282 RSUs, 1,668,200 options and 11,823,209 warrants at December 31, 2012, has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share since, under ASC 260 they would anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) excludes net income or loss and changes in equity from the market price variations in securities held by the Company.  Since these securities are classified as “available for sale” any unrecognized gain or loss is shown in Other Comprehensive Income section in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.  At December 31, 2011 the Company had $51,000 in unrecognizable loss.

At December 31, 2011, the Company held $137,000 in highly liquid gold-based ETFs.  For financial statement presentation, this amount is included in marketable securities held for sale.

At December 31, 2012, no marketable securities were held.

Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill Impairment Testing

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend and simplify the rules related to testing goodwill for impairment.  The revised guidance allows an entity to make an initial qualitative evaluation, based on the entity’s events and circumstances, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  The results of this qualitative assessment determine whether it is necessary to perform the currently required two-step impairment test.  The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The issuance of ASU 2011-5 is intended to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance in ASU 2011-5 supersedes the presentation options in ASC Topic 220 and facilitates convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity and requiring that all non-owner changes in shareholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be applied   retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable financial statement user to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.  This ASU is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  At the present, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued in 2012 and 2011, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.


NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Marketable securities available for sale

The Company maintains a security trading account.  It was opened during 2011.  There was no security trading account during 2010. As of December 31, 2011 there was $4,000 in cash and $137,000 in a gold ETF.   The Company holds the securities as “available for sale.”  Therefore, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as adjustment to other comprehensive income/loss in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and the value of the securities held are adjusted to market value.

At December 31, 2012, no marketable securities were held.

Land

Upon purchasing land, the value is recorded at the purchase price or fair value, whichever is more accurate.  Costs incurred to prepare the land for the intended purpose, which is efficient irrigated farming, is also capitalized in the recorded cost of the land.  No amortization or depreciation is taken on Land.  However the land is reviewed by management at least once per year to ascertain if a further analysis is necessary for any potential impairments.

Water rights and infrastructure

The Company has acquired both direct flow water rights and water storage rights.  We have obtained water rights through the purchase of shares in a mutual ditch company, which we did with our purchase of shares in HCIC, or through the purchase of an entity holding water rights, which we did with our purchase of the Orlando.  The Company may also acquire water rights through outright purchase.  In all cases, such rights are recognized under decrees of the Colorado water court and administered under the jurisdiction of the Office of the State Engineer.

Upon purchasing water rights, the value is recorded at our purchase price.  If a majority interest is acquired in a company holding water assets (potentially with other assets including water delivery infrastructure, right of ways, and land), the Company determines the fair value of the assets.  To assist with the valuation, the Company may consider reports from a third-party valuation firm.  If the value of the water rights is greater than what the Company paid then a bargain purchase gain is recognized.   If the value of the water assets are less than what the Company paid then goodwill is recognized.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a bargain purchase gain from its purchase of Orlando of $1,736,000.

Subsequent to purchase, management periodically evaluates the carrying value of its assets, and if the carrying value is in excess of fair market value, the Company will establish an impairment allowance.  Currently, there are no impairments on the Company’s land and water shares.  No amortization or depreciation is taken on the water rights.

Dam and water infrastructure construction in progress

The Company has commenced engineering for the reconstruction of the dam owned by the HCIC.  In addition the Company is in the process of rehabilitating various outlet gates, pipes and water gates.  These costs are capitalized, and not amortized or depreciated until the dam reconstruction is completed in accordance with ASC 360 and 835.

Reconstruction costs are as follows:

Intangible Assets

On November 2, 2012, the Company acquired the Dionisio produce business and related equipment for $1,873,000 plus accrued interest of $30,000.  Dionisio has been producing vegetable crops for over 70 years and has well-established commercial relationships for the sale and distribution of its crops.  The Company is operating these acquired assets under the Dionisio name and has entered into employment agreements with members of the Dionisio family to maintain the experience and skill in producing and marketing of the vegetable crops.

The Company paid $900,000 at closing; the seller carried back $600,000 (subsequently reduced to $590,000 with the assumption of additional debt and see Note 4, “Seller Carry Back – Dionisio”), and the Company assumed $415,000 in equipment debt.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Produce business
  $ 1,037,000  
Equipment
    836,000  
Prepaid interest
    30,000  
Ending Balance
  $ 1,903,000  

The equipment was appraised by an independent, third party appraiser.  After the allocation to equipment and the cost of the acquisition, the remainder was assigned to the produce business.  Management performed a discounted cash flow analysis to validate the assigned value intangible assets of $1,037,000.  The produce business value consists of trademarks, customer lists, and customer contracts.

Based on the discounted cash flow analysis and assuming the average life of a customer is 20 years, the produce business has the following values:

Customer list
  $ 580,000  
Tradename
    220,000  
Residual goodwill
    237,000  
Ending Balance
  $ 1,037,000  

The cost of the customer list and the tradename will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.  The residual goodwill will be tested once per year for impairments, if any.

Based on the 20 year life of the tradename and customer list with no value at the end of the 20 years, the yearly amount of amortization is $40,000 per year.


NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

HCIC Seller Carry Back Notes

Beginning on September 17, 2009, Two Rivers began acquiring shares in HCIC and related land from a HCIC shareholder.  As part of these acquisitions, many of the sellers financed notes payable with Two Rivers and HCIC.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, these loans totaled $7,364,000 and $7,403,000, respectfully.   The notes carry interest at 6% per annum, interest payable monthly, the principal amounts due at various dates from March 31, 2013 through September 30, 2015, and are collateralized by HCIC shares and land.

As of December 31, 2012, of the $7,364,000 in seller carry back notes, notes representing $2,709,000 provides the holders the right to convert some or all of the amounts owing into the Company’s stock at $1/share to $1.25/share.  The holder can convert anytime until the note is paid.  These convertible notes of $2,114,000 are due on August 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 with 6% annual interest, with the interest paid monthly.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company exchanged $1,575,000 in HCIC debt into 722,222 shares of the Company’s stock, a cash payment of $37,500, and $37,500 in an unsecured note.  An expense due to loss on extinguishment of note payable of $272,000 was recognized due to the difference between the stock price conversion and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company offered holders of HCIC notes the option of an early payoff in exchange for a discount on the face amount of the note.  A total of $189,000 of notes was retired early and a gain on forgiveness of the HCIC notes of $84,000 was recognized and is netted against the loss of extinguishment on note payables in the statement of operations.

Orlando Seller Carry Back Note

On January 28, 2011, the Company purchased water storage and direct flow from the Orlando Reservoir No. 2 Company, LLC (“Orlando”) for $3,100,000, which consisted of a cash payment of $100,000 and a seller financed note payable of $3,000,000.  The note was due January 28, 2014.  Interest is to be paid based on 50% of the Company’s gross profits received from all of the Company’s crop operations payment or sales where the water assets from Orlando are used and $40 per acre foot of water used.  The Company was accruing interest at 5% per annum until a better estimate can be made on the payments to be made to Orlando.  The holder of the note has an option to convert the amount of all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest into common stock of Two Rivers at the conversion price of $4.00 per share.  The Company also recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of $384,000.

In July 2011, the Company and Orlando renegotiated the purchase of the Orlando LLC for 650,000 shares of the Company’s stock, $1,412,500 cash payment and a seller carryback note of $187,500.  The Company shares were valued at $1,557,000.  Upon the completion of the Orlando purchase, the Company engaged a water research firm to perform a valuation of Orlando.  The valuation report was issued on January 16, 2012 with an approximate value of $5,195,000.

Series A Convertible Debt

In February 2011, F-1 offered a $2,000,000 Series A convertible debt offering.  This offering was closed at the end of February 2011.  This offering financed the land, water rights, irrigation, and farm equipment for F-1.  The terms of this debt is interest at 5% per annum, one-third of the crop profit and the right to convert debt into Company common stock at $2.50/share.  The note was due March 31, 2014.  When the debt was issued and closed, the Company’s stock was trading for less than the conversion, so no additional beneficial interest was recognized.

In December 2012 the Company offered the holders of the Series A convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-1 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants in Two Rivers Water & Farming Company.  Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares, one warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.

As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series A debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $1,975,000 of the debt thereby leaving $25,000 of the originally issued Series A convertible debt and accrued interest of $86,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012.   In order to properly record the conversion, the Company applied the guidance in ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” as the F-1 preferred shares have a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) with detachable warrants.  The Company determined the fair value of the associated warrants to be $494,000; after a relative fair value allocation was performed on the $1,989,000 of debt converted (includes $14,000 of accrued interest).  The remaining amount of $1,494,000 was recorded as the original face value of the F-1 preferred shares.  The F-1 preferred shares are recorded as non-controlling interest due to being legally issued in the name of F-1.  The F-1 preferred shares are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of $1 per share.  A BCF was determined to exist at the time of issuance, resulting in a deemed preferred share dividend of $882,000.

The Series A conversion transaction was recorded as of December 31, 2012.

Series B Convertible Debt

In June 2011, F-2 offered a $6,000,000 Series B convertible debt offering.  This offering was closed at the end of August 2011 having raised $5,332,000.  This offering financed the land, water rights, and irrigation for F-2.  The terms of this debt was interest at 6% per annum and 10% of the net-crop revenue of production of farm product from land owned by F-2.  Net-crop revenue is defined as the gross selling price of the crops less basis.  Basis is the difference between the futures price for a commodity and the local cash price offered by grain buyers.  It reflects the cost of marketing grain from one point of sale to another point of sale.  The 10% net-crop revenue share is paid on the crops that are produced on the approximately 1,200 acres of farmland that secures the Series B debt.

The Note holders have the right to convert debt into Company common stock at $2.50/share.  The notes are due June 30, 2014.

In conjunction with the Series B, the Company issued 2,132,800 warrants to the debt holders that could be exercised into the Company’s common shares at $2.50 through December 31, 2012.  The Company also issued 171,000 warrants (convertible at $2.50/share) to three broker-dealers with an expiration of September 30, 2014.  The fair value of the warrants issued was computed at $1,675,000 for the debt holder warrants. This amount was recorded as a discount on the note and is amortized over the life of the note to interest expense utilizing the effective-interest method.  There is an additional expense of $149,000 for the broker dealer warrants, which is amortized over the warrants and recognized as interest expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company also recorded a beneficial conversion amount with Series B.  After accounting for the fair value of the warrants at $0.7854/share, the adjusted and effective Series B conversion rate is $1.7146/share.  Taking into account the various closing dates of the Series B and the respective stock price of our common stock at each closing, the value of the beneficial conversion feature is $1,490,000.  This amount was recorded as a discount on the note and is accreted over the life of the note to interest expense utilizing the effective-interest method.  The Company estimated the effective interest rate to be 46% per annum.

In December 2012, F-2 offered the holders of the Series B convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-2 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants in the Company.  Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares, a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued.  The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers.

As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series B debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $5,107,000 of the debt thereby leaving $225,000 of the originally issued Series B convertible debt and accrued interest of $194,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012.   In order to properly record the conversion, the Company applied the guidance in ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” as the F-2 preferred shares have a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) with detachable warrants.  The Company determined the fair value of the associated warrants to be $1,301,000; after a relative fair value allocation was performed on the $5,233,000 of debt converted (includes $126,000 of accrued interest).  The remaining amount of $3,933,000 was recorded as the original face value of the F-2 preferred shares.  The F-2 preferred shares are recorded as non-controlling interest due to being legally issued in the name of F-2.  The F-2 preferred shares are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of $1 per share.  A BCF was determined to exist at the time of issuance, resulting in a deemed preferred share dividend of $2,347,000.

The Series B conversion transaction was recorded as of December 31, 2012.

Bridge Loan

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company closed a short-term bridge financing (the “Bridge Loan”) in the total amount of $3,994,000.  The Company’s CEO participated as a lender in the Bridge Loan in the amount of $994,000.  The Bridge Loan pays monthly interest at 12% per annum with $200,000 due on October 31, 2012 and the remainder was to be due on May 31, 2013.  The Bridge Loan holders also received one share of the Company’s stock for each $10 of Bridge Loan participation.  Participants in the Bridge Loan have the option of converting the principal into the Company’s common stock at the price offered in a take-out equity financing which the Company plans to complete.  In conjunction with the closing of the Bridge Loan, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to the Bridge Loan holders.  The fair value of the shares issued was determined to be approximately $600,000, which is recorded as a debt discount being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related Bridge Loan.

In October 2012, the Company obtained extensions to May 31, 2013 on $3,794,000 of the principal.  In exchange for these extensions, the terms remain the same and the Company will issue the note holders restricted stock of the Company computed by multiplying the face amount of the note by 10% and dividing by $1.75 (per share).  These shares were issued in the quarter ending December 31, 2012 and the cost was fully amortized from November 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.  The fair value of the shares issued was determined to be $271,000, which is recorded as a debt discount being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related Bridge Loan.

In December 2012 the Company offered the holders of the Bridge Loan the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of the Company and also receive warrants to purchase common shares of the Company.  Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers.  For every two preferred shares, one warrant is also issued.  The warrants expire December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3/share of the Company.

As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Bridge Loan debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $3,794,000 which represents conversion of the entire Bridge Loan debt.   In order to properly record the conversion, the Company applied the guidance in ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” as the Bridge Loan preferred shares have a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) with detachable warrants.  The Company determined the fair value of the associated warrants to be $943,000; after a relative fair value allocation was performed on the $3,794,000 of debt converted.  The remaining amount of $2,851,000 was recorded as the original face value of the preferred shares.  The preferred shares are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of $1 per share.  A BCF was determined to exist at the time of issuance, resulting in a deemed preferred share dividend of $1,702,000.

NOTE 5 – INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
We organize our business segments based on the nature of the products and services offered.  We focus on the Water and Farming Business with Two Rivers Water & Farming Company as the Parent company.  Therefore, we report our segments by these lines of businesses: Farms and Water.  Farms contain all of our Farming Business (Farms, F-1, F-2, Dionisio).  Water contains our Water Business (HCIC and Orlando).  Our Parent category is not a separate reportable operating segment.  Segment allocations may differ from those on the face of the income statement.
 
In the following tables of financial data, the total of the operating results of these business segments is reconciled, as appropriate, to the corresponding consolidated amount.  There are some corporate expenses that were not allocated to the business segments, and these expenses are contained in the “Total Operating Expenses” under Parent.

If all of the options were exercised, $2,089,000 would be collected by the Company and yield an average share price of $1.27.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 204,480 options under the 2005 Plan and pursuant to a prior written agreement with a financial consultant.  The options have a strike of $1.25/share.  Of the 204,480 options, 83,333 options were issued in conjunction with a successful debt placement; the fair value is being amortized over the three-year life of the associated debt, or $3,000 per quarter, which is recognized as interest expense.   The remaining 121,147 options issued in 2012 were for current services; therefore the fair value of $44,000 was expensed to consulting expense.

Option Valuation Process

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant.  To calculate the fair value of options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model employing the following variables:

 
2012
2011
Expected stock price volatility
78%
122%
Risk-free interest rate
2.64%
2.64%
Expected option life (years)
2.2
3.2 to 5.2
Expected annual dividend yield
0%
0%

The Company arrived at the foregoing estimate of volatility of the Company’s common stock based on observation of pricing volatility of the publicly-traded stocks of other entities in a similar line of business for a period commensurate with the contractual term of the underlying options and used weekly intervals for price observations. The Company will continue to consider the volatilities of those other stocks unless circumstances change such that the identified entities are no longer similar to the Company or until there is sufficient information available to substitute the Company’s own stock price volatility. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions.

The Company can issue stock awards and options for nonemployee services.  If stock is granted, the Company values the stock using an average of the closing price of the Company’s stock over the period that the service was rendered.  If options are granted, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model for determining fair value (see above).

It is estimated that $3,868,000 in stock-based compensation expense will be fully amortized by December 31, 2015.

The stock-based compensation expense from both the 2011 and 2005 Plans were $3,434,000 and $2,678,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Warrants

On January 27, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized an extension of the expiration date of 100,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $1.00/share held by the Elevation Fund.  The former expiration date was December 31, 2011, and the expiration date was extended to June 30, 2012.  The extension was granted in consideration of the Elevation Fund’s assistance with the Company’s capital financing.  Due to the extension of the warrant expiration date, a new fair value calculation was performed using the Black-Scholes method.  Based on this calculation, an expense of $55,000 was recorded.  The Elevation Fund’s 100,000 warrants were exercised by June 30, 2012.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No., 109, Accounting for Income Taxes). Under the provisions of ASC 740, a deferred tax asset or liability (net of a valuation allowance) is provided in the financial statements by applying the provisions of applicable laws to measure the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years as a result of events recognized in the financial statements in the current or proceeding years.

 
The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes consists of the following:

NOTE 8 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company decided to shift its focus from the short term residential mortgage banking and ownership of residential rental property to the current business model.  In order to assist in the funding of the Water Project, the Company began an orderly liquidation of its mortgage and real estate assets.  This liquidation was been completed by December 31, 2011.


NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

In April 2012, the Company entered into a new lease with the Colorado Center in Denver Colorado for the corporate headquarters.   The space is 1,775 square feet and monthly payments of $3,600. The lease terminates on June 30, 2015.

The amounts due at the base rate are as follows:

Period
Amount Due
2013
$ 43,200
2014
$ 43,200
2015
$ 21,600

The Company has entered into a lease of 83 acres of farmland.  The lease is for 20 years, but with five year renewals.  The rate is $185/acre or $15,000 per year.

Two Rivers has entered into a water lease arrangement with Pueblo Board of Water Works.  The lease is effective in 2012, has a term of five years, and calls for annual payments of $100,000 beginning in April, 2012.  The annual payments can be escalated based upon the percentage increase, if any, over the previous year of the PBWW water rates for its general customers for treated water.  The lease is for up to 500 acre feet of water per year. There are no further obligations under this lease.

The purpose of the lease is two-fold: a) to establish an appropriation of a water right for exchange from the Arkansas River main stream water to various Two Rivers’ reservoirs, and b) to provide supplemental irrigation water for our farming operations through releases from those reservoirs.

Defined Contribution Plan

Two Rivers does not have a defined contribution plan.


NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In January 2012, the CEO participated in our Bridge Loan for $1,000,000.   He converted into preferred shares.  Both the debt and conversion is under the same terms and conditions as the other Bridge Loan holders.

The seller of DFP assets is now an employee of the Company and is owed $590,000.

We sold $65,000 of our DFP crops to a relative of the prior owner of DFP assets.

We are recognizing $94,000 in accounts receivable from the 9% non-controlling interest holders of HCIC.


N OTE 11 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Morrow Suit

The Company was notified in September 2009 that it was named as a defendant in a lawsuit that alleges either the Company or another third party bank did not have a proper promissory note and deed of trust against a short-term mortgage loan made to a borrower in April 2008 (“Morrow” loan and suit).   After the Company made the Morrow loan, the note was improperly transferred to Jaguar, a mortgage originator and banker.  When the Company discovered the improper transfer, the Company requested Jaguar to return all documents to the Company or fund the loan.  On August 4, 2008, Jaguar re-assigned the note and deed of trust back to the Company.  However, Jaguar never returned to the Company the original lending file and documentation.  During the period of time that Jaguar was in possession of the Morrow file, the lawsuit alleges that Jaguar used the Morrow note and deed of trust to obtain money from another third-party bank.

While the Company believes that it acted properly, to minimize the cost of a lengthy court hearing, the Company decided to settle with the plaintiff for $165,000, of which $100,000 was paid from money posted to the Court by the Company and $65,000 is remaining to be paid.  The $65,000 is recorded in accrued liabilities.

There are no other legal actions that name the Company and/or its officers and directors as defendants.


NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  The following are the significant subsequent events:
-  
The Company completed the DFP offering at the full subscription amount of $5,000,000.
-  
The Company reached a separation agreement with its past Chief Operating Officer that included a Company payment of $25,000 in exchange for the cancellation of all currently vested RSUs.
-  
On March 15, 2013, the Company paid an additional $100,000 to extend the SW Farms note due date until August 31, 2013.

(b)  
Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock.

1.   Number of Shares; Designation . A total of 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company are hereby designated as Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series”). Shares of the Series (“Preferred Shares”) will be authorized pursuant to a Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) by and among the Company and the holders of the Company’s Bridge Loan debt, a copy of which will be provided to any shareholder of the Company upon request therefor.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings set forth in the Conversion Agreement.

2. Rank. The Series shall, with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, rank senior and prior to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), and any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Company and are designated in the amendment to the Articles  of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking junior to the Preferred Shares. Any shares of the Company’s stock which are junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company are hereinafter referred to as “Junior Liquidation Shares.”

3. Dividends .
a.       Cumulative Preferred Dividend.   Holders of the Preferred Shares ("Shareholders") will be entitled to receive an annual dividend when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum .  The 8% dividend will be declared, if any, on March 31, and paid annually on May 15.  The initial 8% dividend, if declared, payment will accrue from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013, declared on March 31, 2014 and first payable on May 15, 2014.  Thereafter, the annual 8% dividend will accrue from January 1 to December 31.  In the event that an 8% dividend is not paid when due, the amount of such unpaid 8% dividend will accumulate and compound at 8% per annum until paid.
b.        Cumulative 10% Net Profits Participation Dividend     Shareholders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 10%, on a fully subscribed basis, of the Annual Net Profit (“Profit Participation”).  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and dividend payments and estimated income taxes owed. The Profit Participation will be determined annually after the Company’s financial results are audited and, when and if declared, will be announced on March 31 and paid on May 15.  The Profit Participation will first be determined and paid for the 2013 fiscal year, and, therefore, will first be payable on May 15, 2014.  The Profit Participation payable to the holder of each Preferred Share outstanding on the respective payment date is determined by multiplying the Annual Net Profit by .10 and dividing that product by 3,794,000.
 
 
 

 

 
4. Liquidation .  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each Preferred Shares held by them equal to $1.00 (subject to adjustments)(the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the Preferred Shares are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the entire Liquidation Preference  then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Shares in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.

5. Conversion .
 
a.            Right to Convert . Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, one  Preferred Share held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for one share of common stock of the Company(the “Conversion Rate”) as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”).  The Conversion Price shall be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein.  Any common stock of the Company received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”
 
b.            Conversion Notice . In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to the Company by mail or electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain Time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I   to the Conversion Agreement (a “Conversion Notice”), and stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted.,  the Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Company.  The Company shall provide a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in ”Adjustments” below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments made to the Conversion Price.  The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice.  Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.
 
 
 

 
 
c.            Number of Conversion Shares . The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Company to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by dividing (i) the number of Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by one (1); provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and shares of the Company  common stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of the Company  common stock then authorized to be delivered by the Company, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of the common stock of the Company authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Company will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.
 
d.            Delivery of Conversion Shares . The Company shall, no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by mail, or facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Company receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such third Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above.
 
e.            Adjustments. The Conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(i)            Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Company Common Stock .  In the event the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock shall be subdivided by stock split, stock dividends or otherwise, into a greater number of shares of the Company Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of the Company Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Shares shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares.  In the event the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of the Company Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to  the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of the Company Common Stock issuable on conversion of any of the Preferred Shares shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
 
 
 

 
 
 (ii)            Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution .  If the Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of the Company Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction.  The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.
 
(iii)            Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to an Adjustment, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion Price then in effect.  The Company, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion rate at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
 
 
(iv)            Rounding .  All calculations under this Section 5(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.
 
f.           The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of the Company Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company Common Stock, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of the Company Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares .
 
 
 

 
 
6. Status of Shares . All Preferred Shares that are at any time converted pursuant to paragraph 5 above, and all Preferred Shares that are otherwise reacquired by the Company and subsequently canceled by the Board of Directors, shall be retired and shall not be subject to reissuance.
 
7. Voting Rights .  The Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock does not carry any voting rights.
 
8.   Covenants.

SECTION 2
RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PREFERRED SHARES
In addition to the rights, privileges, and obligations of the Preferred Shares contained in the Certificate of Designation, the Company covenants as follows:
2.1 Major Covenants. While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) not to incur any debt except for (i) first mortgages on farmland with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 60% (the “First Mortgages”); (ii) existing commercial equipment financing liens; and (iii) regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company unless the incurrence of additional debt is agreed upon by an affirmative vote of Shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preferred Shares. (The Company’s farmland, First Mortgages, and existing commercial equipment financing liens are set forth under “Description of Securities”); (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity) other than as described above in “Inter-Company Transactions”; (3) not to transfer any funds to the Parent unless at such time (i) the Parent Loan has been repaid in full; and (ii) all accrued dividends on the Preferred Shares have been paid and (iii) the Adjusted Equity of the Company exceeds the net proceeds received by the Company in this Offering. Adjusted Equity is defined as shareholder's equity of the Company minus any amounts due to the Company from Parent and minus any amount that the Company's Board of Directors shall determine is sufficient working capital to provide for the next planting season. Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Major Covenant.”
2.2 Additional Covenants. While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (2) to observe all financial covenants and to pay when due each payment required under the First Mortgages (including seller financing obligations secured by its farmland and/or water rights) and under its commercial equipment leases; (3) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Parent; (4) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (5) to devote all of its water resources (whether leased, owned, or produced from its groundwater rights) exclusively to producing crops on its farmland and to support its produce business; (6) to segregate in a separate account net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due the Profit Participation; (7) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (8) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; (9) to limit the number of its Directors to three; and (10) not to fallow its farmland for the purpose of making water available for off-farm use. Each of these covenants is referred to as an “Additional Covenant.”
2.3 Parent Covenants. While the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Parent covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the Units, to appoint three directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the Preferred Shares (the “PS Director”). The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of the Company, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director, as provided below in Section 2.10 below; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the Company’s financial reports; (7) to file a registration statement on or before February28, 2013 with the SEC for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and (8) To certify at least annually that, to the Parent’s actual knowledge, neither the Parent nor the Company is in breach of a Major Covenant, Additional Covenant, or a Parent Covenant. These covenants shall be collectively referred to as “Parent Covenants”.
2.4 Events of Default. The following are Events of Default: (1) failure to declare and pay when due two consecutive annual installments of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend; (2) the occurrence of an event of default under a First Mortgage which permits the immediate seizure, sale, foreclosure, forfeiture or transfer of any of the Company’s farmland or water rights (including its BIDC shares); (3) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by either the Company or the Parent or the approval of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy related to either the Company or the Parent; (4) the breach of a Major Covenant; and (5) the failure to remedy the breach of any Additional Covenant or Parent Covenant within 60 days after actual notice of its breach.
2.5 Preferred Shareholder Supplemental Rights Upon an Event Of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Shareholders may call a special meeting at which Shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares may cause a replacement of a Parent-designated director of the Company with a Preferred Shareholder-designated director (giving the Preferred Shareholders the right to fill two of the Company’s three Board seats). Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of Replacement Director (each of them a “Nominee”). Only Nominees who express a willingness to serve as Replacement Director will be eligible for election (the “Replacement Candidate”). The Replacement Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the Replacement Director upon election. The Replacement Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (a majority of Preferred Shares) is present. Any future dispositive action of this newly-constituted Board of Directors (including liquidation, sale, or merger of the Company and the sale or transfer of substantial assets of the Company) will become effective only upon the affirmative vote of a majority in interest of the outstanding Preferred Shares.
2.6 Inter-Company Transactions. Certain of the farmland, improvements and water rights to be owned by the Company upon closing are currently owned by the Parent or are being acquired from third parties in arm’s length negotiated purchase/sale transactions arranged by the Parent. All such transfers will be at the Parent’s actual cost without markup. Also, from the proceeds of the sale of the Units, the Company plans to make an unsecured interest-free loan to the Parent for the Parent’s working capital (“Parent Loan”). It is intended that the Parent Loan will be repaid from the Parent’s share of the Company’s future profits and/or from the proceeds of future capital financings by the Parent. The term of the Parent Loan will be five years. To the extent any net profits, as defined in the Parent Loan, are generated by the Parent, such profit must be first used to satisfy the Parent Loan. If the maximum is subscribed, the amount of the Parent Loan will be $1,000,000. The terms and conditions of the Parent Loan are set forth in the form of promissory note attached as Exhibit F to the Memorandum. Overheard expenses incurred by the Parent on behalf of the Company will not be charged to the Company.
2.7 Conversion of Preferred Shares.
(a) Right to Convert. Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of, one Preferred Share, held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for two (2) shares of the Common Stock of the Parent as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”). A Conversion shall be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein. Any Common Stock of the Parent received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”
(b) Conversion Notice. In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to Two Rivers by electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or Federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I hereto (a “Conversion Notice”), stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted, and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in 2.7(c) below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments made to the Conversion Rate. The Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Parent. The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.
(c) Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Parent to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by multiplying the Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by two (2); provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Parent and shares of Common Stock of the Parent which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of Common Stock of the Parent then authorized to be delivered by the Parent, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock of the Parent authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Parent will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.
(d) Delivery of Conversion Shares.
(i) Two Rivers shall, no later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Parent receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Parent receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such fifteenth Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 2.7(c) above. The Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Shareholder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the date the registration statement (described in Section 2.8 below) becomes effective, will be without restrictive legend and will represent the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares; and the Company shall deliver a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of conversion.
(ii) The Parent’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Shareholder, or any breach or alleged breach by Shareholder of any obligation to the Company or Parent or any violation or alleged violation of law by Shareholder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Parent to such Shareholder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Parent or Company of any such action that they may have against such Shareholder. If the Parent fails to deliver to a Shareholder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 2.7 on the Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Parent shall pay to such Shareholder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $10,000 of Preferred Shares (valued at $2.00 per share) being converted, $100 per trading day (increasing to $200 per trading day on the second (2nd) trading day after such damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the Delivery Date until such certificates (which must be without restrictive legend if the Conversion Shares are registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 and be delivered without legend), are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Shareholder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Parent’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Shareholder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Shareholder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(e) Adjustments. The Conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Parent shall be subdivided by stock split or stock dividends, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect (currently one Preferred Share converts into two Common Shares of the Parent) with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or dividend, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the subdivision or dividend as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the subdivision or dividend. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the combination or consolidation as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the combination or consolidation.

(ii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Parent deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction. The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.
(iii) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion rate pursuant to an Adjustment, the Parent at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion rate then in effect. The Parent shall, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
(iv) Rounding. All calculations under this Section 2.7(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.
(f) The Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Parent as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock of Parent, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of Parent to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares.
2.8 Registration. The Parent commits to file a registration statement on or before February28, 2013 with the SEC for the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock underlying the Warrants.
2.9 Registrar. Two Rivers will act as the Registrar for the Preferred Shares which will be transferable (i) only to other accredited investors, (ii) subject to state and federal securities laws, and (iii) solely through entry by the Registrar in a registration book maintained for that purpose. There is no secondary market for the Preferred Shares, and none is likely to develop. Therefore, purchasers of the Preferred Shares should expect to hold them indefinitely or until converted into common stock (which may be restricted, notwithstanding the Parent’s registration covenants).
2.10 PS Director. Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of PS Director, each of them a “Nominee”. The Parent will provide to the holders of the Preferred Shares a list of such Nominees who indicate a willingness to serve as PS Director, each of them a “Candidate”. The Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the PS Director upon election. The PS Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (which is a majority of Preferred Shares) is present.

The Company and Parent are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4
Representations and Warranties of the Investor
Investor hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
4.1 No Registration. Such Investor understands that the Units, Warrants, the Common Stock, and the Preferred Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
4.2 Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Units, for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Investor further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Units.
4.3 Investment Experience. Such Investor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that such Investor can protect its own interests. Such Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company.
4.4 Speculative Nature of Investment. Such Investor understands and acknowledges that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. Such Investor can bear the economic risk of such Investor’s investment and is able, without impairing such Investor’s financial condition, to hold the Units for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such Investor’s investment.
4.5 Access to Data. Such Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company and Parent concerning the Agreements, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, as well as the Company’s and Parent’s business, management and financial affairs, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. Such Investor believes that it has received all the information such Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Units. Such Investor understands that such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company or Parent, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s and Parent’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. Such Investor acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company or Parent have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Such Investor also acknowledges that it is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or Parent or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.
4.6 Accredited Investor. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
4.7 Residency. The state of residence of the Investor (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) shall be of the state as listed in the preamble.
4.8 Rule 144. Such Investor acknowledges that the Units and its underlying securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company and Parent, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Such Investor understands that with respect to the Conversion Shares, such one year period shall not commence until the date of issuance of the Conversion Shares. Such Investor understands that the current public information referred to above is not now available regarding the Company and the Company has no present plans to make such information available. Such Investor acknowledges and understands that the Company or Parent may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Investor wishes to sell the Shares or the Conversion Shares, and that, in such event, the Investor may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Such Investor acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Shares or the underlying Common Stock. Such Investor understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
4.9 No Public Market. Such Investor understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company’s securities.

4.12 Tax Advisors.

The Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
4.13 Legends. Such Investor understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Shares or the Conversion Shares, or any other securities issued in respect of the Shares or the Conversion Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legend (in addition to any legend required by the Rights Agreement or under applicable state securities laws):

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
PREFERRED STOCK
OF
DIONISIO FARMS & PRODUCE, INC.
To Be Designated
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Dionisio Farms & Produce, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), at a meeting duly convened and held, at which a quorum was present and acting throughout:
RESOLVED , that pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors by the Company’s Article of Incorporation, the issuance of a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company which shall consist of 2,500,000 shares of convertible preferred stock be, and the same hereby is, authorized; and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company be, and he hereby is, authorized and directed to execute and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado a Certificate of Designation of Preferred Stock of the Company fixing the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof (in addition to the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Company’s preferred stock), as follows:
1. Number of Shares; Designation . A total of 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company are hereby designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series”). Shares of the Series (“Preferred Shares”) will be offered pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum (the “Memorandum”) and issued pursuant to the terms of a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and the Purchaser, a copy of which will be provided to any Shareholder of the Company upon request therefor. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
2. Rank. The Series shall, with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, rank senior and prior to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), and any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Company and are designated in the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking junior to the Preferred Shares. Any shares of the Company’s stock which are junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company are hereinafter referred to as “Junior Liquidation Shares.”

 
 

 


3. Dividends .
(a) Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend. Holders of the Preferred Shares ("Shareholders") will be entitled to receive an annual dividend when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum (calculated as a percentage of stated value per Preferred Share, which shall be $2.00 per share). The 8% dividend will be declared, if any, on March 31, and paid annually on May 15. The initial 8% dividend payment will accrue from the date of acceptance of a Subscription by the Company to purchase the Preferred Shares through December 31, 2013. Thereafter, the annual 8% dividend will accrue from January 1 to December 31. In the event that an 8% dividend is not paid when due, the amount of such unpaid 8% dividend will accumulate and compound at 8% per annum until paid.

(b) Cumulative 25% Net Profits Participation Dividend Shareholders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully subscribed basis, of the Annual Net Profit derived from (i) the sale of crops grown on the Company’s farmland and (ii) the operation of its produce wholesaling business (“Profit Participation”). Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and dividend payments and income taxes owed. The Profit Participation will be determined annually after the Company’s financial results are audited and, when and if declared, will be announced on March 31 and paid on May 15. The Profit Participation will first be determined and paid for the 2013 fiscal year, and, therefore, will first be payable on May 15, 2014. The Profit Participation payable to the holder of each Preferred Share outstanding on the respective payment date is determined by multiplying the Annual Net Profit by .25 and dividing that product by 2,500,000.

4. Liquidation . In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company Common Stock or any Junior Liquidation Shares by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each Preferred Shares held by them equal to $2.00 (subject to adjustments) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up (the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the Preferred Shares are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the entire Liquidation Preference then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Shares in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
5. Conversion .
(a) Right to Convert . Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of, one Preferred Share held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for two (2) shares of Common Stock of the Two Rivers Water Company, a Colorado corporation (the “Parent”) as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”). A Conversion shall be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein. Any Common Stock of the Parent received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”

(b) Conversion Notice . In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to the Parent by electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain Time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I to the Memorandum (a “Conversion Notice”), and stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted., The Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Parent. The Company shall provide a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in ”Adjustments” below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments. The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.

(c) Number of Conversion Shares . The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Parent to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by multiplying the number of Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by two; provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of common stock of the Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) and shares of the Parent Common Stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock then authorized to be delivered by the Parent, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of the Parent Common Stock authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Parent will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.

(d) Delivery of Conversion Shares . The Parent shall, no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Parent receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Parent receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such third Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above.

(e) Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock . In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Parent shall be subdivided by stock split or stock dividends, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect (currently one Preferred Share converts into two Common Shares of the Parent) with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or dividend, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the subdivision or dividend as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the subdivision or dividend. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the combination or consolidation as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the combination or consolidation.


(ii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution . If the Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction. The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.

(iii) Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion rate pursuant to an Adjustment, the Parent at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion Rate then in effect. The Parent shall, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
(iv) Rounding . All calculations under this Section 5(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.

(f) The Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of the Parent Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of the Parent Common Stock, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of the Parent Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares.

6. Preferred Shareholder Supplemental Rights Upon an Event Of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined below, the Shareholders may call a special meeting at which Shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares may cause a replacement of a Parent-designated director of the Company with a Preferred Shareholder-designated director (giving the Preferred Shareholders the right to fill two of the Company’s three Board seats). Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of Replacement Director (each of them a “Nominee”). Only Nominees who express a willingness to serve as Replacement Director will be eligible for election (the “Replacement Candidate”). The Replacement Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the Replacement Director upon election. The Replacement Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (a majority of Preferred Shares) is present. Any future dispositive action of this newly-constituted Board of Directors (including liquidation, sale, or merger of the Company and the sale or transfer of substantial assets of the Company) will become effective only upon the affirmative vote of a majority in interest of the outstanding Preferred Shares.

(a) Events of Default. The following are Events of Default: (1) failure to declare and pay when due two consecutive annual installments of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend; (2) the occurrence of an event of default under a First Mortgage which permits the immediate seizure, sale, foreclosure, forfeiture or transfer of any of the Company’s farmland or water rights (including its BIDC shares); (3) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by either the Company or the Parent or the approval of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy related to either the Company or the Parent; (4) the breach of a Major Covenant, as defined below in section 6(b); and (5) the failure to remedy the breach of any Additional Covenant, as defined in section 6(c), or Parent Covenant, as defined in section 6(d), within 60 days after actual notice of its breach.

(b) Major Covenants. While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) not to incur any debt except for: (i) first mortgages on farmland with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 60% (the “First Mortgages”); (ii) existing commercial equipment financing liens; and (iii) regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company unless the incurrence of additional debt is agreed upon by an affirmative vote of Shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preferred Shares. (The Company’s farmland, First Mortgages, and existing commercial equipment financing liens are set forth under “Description of Securities”); (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity) other than as described above in “Inter-Company Transactions”; (3) not to transfer any funds to the Parent unless at such time (i) the Parent Loan has been repaid in full; and (ii) all accrued dividends on the Preferred Shares have been paid and the Adjusted Equity of the Company exceeds the net proceeds received by the Company in this Offering. Adjusted Equity is defined as shareholder's equity of the Company minus any amounts due to the Company from Parent and minus any amount that the Company's Board of Directors shall determine is sufficient working capital to provide for the next planting season. Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Major Covenant.”

(c) Additional Covenants. While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (2) to observe all financial covenants and to pay when due each payment required under the First Mortgages (including seller financing obligations secured by its farmland and/or water rights) and under its commercial equipment leases; (3) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Parent; (4) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (5) to devote all of its water resources (whether leased, owned, or produced from its groundwater rights) exclusively to producing crops on its farmland and to support its produce business; (6) to segregate in a separate account net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due the Profit Participation; (7) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (8) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; (9) to limit the number of its Directors to three; and (10) not to fallow its farmland for the purpose of making water available for off-farm use. Each of these covenants is referred to as an “Additional Covenant.”

SECTION 3
 
 
RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PREFERRED SHARES
 
 
The Preferred Shares have the following rights, privileges, and obligations in addition to rights, privileges, and obligations of the Preferred Shares contained in the Certificate of Designation:
 
 
3.1           Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend. Holders of the Preferred Shares ("Shareholders") will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum .  The 8% dividend will be declared, if any, on March 31, and paid annually on May 15.  The initial 8% dividend payment will accrue from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013, declared on March 31, 2014 and first payable on May 15, 2014.  Thereafter, the annual 8% dividend will accrue from January 1 to December 31.  In the event that a 8% dividend is not paid when due, the amount of such unpaid 8% dividend will accumulate and compound at 8% per annum until paid.
 
 
3.2.           25% Net Profit Participation Dividend.  Shareholders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit (the “Profit Participation”).  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and estimated income taxes owed. The Profit Participation will be determined annually after the Company’s financial results are audited and, when and if declared, will be announced on March 31 and paid on May 15.  The Profit Participation will first be determined and paid for the 2013 fiscal year, and, therefore, will first be payable on May 15, 2014.  The Profit Participation payable to the holder of each Preferred Share outstanding on the respective payment date is determined by multiplying the Annual Net Profit by .25 and dividing that product by 2,013,750.
 
 
3.3           Redemption.                      The Preferred Shares may be redeemed at any time by the Company provided the Company gives notice of redemption of all but not less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares and the Company has on hand funds sufficient to redeem the Preferred Shares.   The redemption price will be $1.00 per share plus accrued dividends, if any.  Subject to the Shareholders’ prior conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company will redeem all Preferred Shares which remain outstanding, for cash, on a specified business day which is at least thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of redemption.  The Company has no obligation to redeem the Preferred Shares. The Company agrees that it will not redeem any Preferred Shares that would result in any Shareholder having a beneficial common share ownership of the Parent in excess of 9.9% (nine point nine percent).
 
 
3.4           Liquidation.                      In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the Shareholders shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company’s common stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each Preferred Shares held by them equal to $1.00 (subject to adjustments) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends based on the number of days during the dividend period that the Preferred Shares are outstanding (the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the Shareholder are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the entire Liquidation Preference then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the Shareholders in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
 
 

 
 
SECTION 4
 
 
COVENANTS
 
 
4.1           Major Covenants.                                While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of Shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preferred Shares: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company; and (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity).  Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Major Covenant.”
 
 
4.2           Additional Covenants.                                           While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (2) to observe all financial covenants; (3) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Parent; (4) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (5) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due the Profit Participation; (6) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (7) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; and (8) to limit the number of its Directors to three.  Each of these covenants is referred to as an “Additional Covenant.”
 
 
4.3           Parent Covenants.                                While the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Parent covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the Preferred Shares, to appoint three directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the Preferred Shares (the “PS Director”).  The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of the Company, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director, as provided below in Section 4.9 below; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the Company’s financial reports; (7)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and  (8) To certify at least annually that, to the Parent’s actual knowledge, neither the Parent nor the Company is in breach of a Major Covenant, Additional Covenant, or a Parent Covenant.  These covenants shall be collectively referred to as “Parent Covenants”.
 
 
4.4           Events of Default.                                The following are Events of Default: (1) failure to declare and pay when due two consecutive annual installments of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend; (2) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by either the Company or the Parent or the approval of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy related to either the Company or the Parent; (3) the breach of a Major Covenant; and (4) the failure to remedy the breach of any Additional  Covenant or Parent Covenant within 60 days after actual notice of its breach.
 
 
4.5           Preferred Shareholder Supplemental Rights Upon an Event Of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Shareholders may call a special meeting at which Shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares may cause a replacement of a Parent-designated director of the Company with a Preferred Shareholder-designated director (giving the Preferred Shareholders the right to fill two of the Company’s three Board seats).  Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of Replacement Director (each of them a “Nominee”).    Only Nominees who express a willingness to serve as Replacement Director will be eligible for election (the “Replacement Candidate”).  The Replacement Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the Replacement Director upon election.  The Replacement Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (a majority of Preferred Shares) is present.  Any future dispositive action of this newly-constituted Board of Directors (including liquidation, sale, or merger of the Company and the sale or transfer of substantial assets of the Company) will become effective only upon the affirmative vote of a majority in interest of the outstanding Preferred Shares.
 
 
4.6           Conversion of Preferred Shares.
 
 
(a) Right to Convert.  Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of, one Preferred Share, held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for one (1) share of the Common Stock of the Parent as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”).  A Conversion shall be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein.  Any Common Stock of the Parent received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”
 
 
(b) Conversion Notice. In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to Two Rivers by electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or Federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I hereto (a “Conversion Notice”), stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted, and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in 4.6(c) below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments made to the Conversion Rate.  The Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Parent.  The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice.  Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.
 
 
(c) Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Parent to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by multiplying the Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by one (1); provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Parent and shares of Common Stock of the Parent which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of Common Stock of the Parent then authorized to be delivered by the Parent, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock of the Parent authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Parent will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.
 
 
(d) Delivery of Conversion Shares.
 
 
(i)           Two Rivers shall, no later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Parent receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Parent receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such fifteenth Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 4.6(c) above.  The Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Shareholder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the date the registration statement (described in Section 4.8 below) becomes effective, will be without restrictive legend and will represent the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares; and the Company shall deliver a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of conversion.
 
 
(ii)           The Parent’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Shareholder, or any breach or alleged breach by Shareholder of any obligation to the Company or Parent or any violation or alleged violation of law by Shareholder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Parent to such Shareholder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Parent or Company of any such action that they may have against such Shareholder.  If the Parent fails to deliver to a Shareholder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4.6(b) on the Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Parent shall pay to such Shareholder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $10,000 of Preferred Shares being converted, $100 per trading day (increasing to $200 per trading day on the second (2nd) trading day after such damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the Delivery Date until such certificates (which must be without restrictive legend if the Conversion Shares are registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 and be delivered without legend), are delivered.  Nothing herein shall limit a Shareholder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Parent’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Shareholder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Shareholder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
 
 
(e) Adjustments. The Conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
 
(i)           Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.  In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Parent shall be subdivided by stock split or stock dividends, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect (currently one Preferred Share converts into one Common Share of the Parent) with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or dividend, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the subdivision or dividend as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the subdivision or dividend. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the combination or consolidation as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the combination or consolidation.
 
 
(ii)           Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Parent deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction.  The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.
 
 
(iii)           Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion rate pursuant to an Adjustment, the Parent at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion rate then in effect.  The Parent shall, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
 
 
(iv)           Rounding.  All calculations under this Section 4.6(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.
 
 
(f)  The Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Parent as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock of Parent, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of Parent to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares.
 
 
4.7           Registration.  The Parent commits to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC for the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (“Warrant Shares”).
 
 
4.8           Registrar.  Two Rivers will act as the Registrar for the Preferred Shares which will be transferable (i) only to other accredited investors, (ii) subject to state and federal securities laws, and (iii) solely through entry by the Registrar in a registration book maintained for that purpose.  There is no secondary market for the Preferred Shares, and none is likely to develop. Therefore, purchasers of the Preferred Shares should expect to hold them indefinitely or until converted into common stock (which may be restricted, notwithstanding the Parent’s registration covenants).
 
 
4.9           PS Director.  Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of PS Director, each candidate a “Nominee”.  The Parent will provide to the holders of the Preferred Shares a list of such Nominees who indicate a willingness to serve as PS Director, each of them a “Candidate”.  The Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the PS Director upon election.  The PS Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (which is a majority of Preferred Shares) is present.

SECTION 6
 
 
Representations and Warranties of the Investor
 
 
Investor hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
 
 
6.1           No Registration.                                Investor understands that as of the date of this Agreement the  Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Conversion Shares, and the Preferred Shares have not been, and may never be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
 
 
6.2           Investment Intent.                                Investor is acquiring the Preferred Shares, for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Investor further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Preferred Shares.
 
 
6.3           Investment Experience.                                                      Investor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that such Investor can protect its own interests. Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company.
 
 
6.4           Speculative Nature of Investment.                                                                Investor understands and acknowledges that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. Investor can bear the economic risk of such Investor’s investment and is able, without impairing such Investor’s financial condition, to hold the Preferred Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such Investor’s investment.
 
 
6.5           Access to Data.                                           Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company and Parent concerning the Agreement, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, as well as the Company’s and Parent’s business, management and financial affairs, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. Investor believes that it has received all the information such Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to converts their Note to Preferred Shares. Investor understands that such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company or Parent, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s and Parent’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. Investor acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company or Parent have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Investor also acknowledges that it is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or Parent or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.
 
 
6.6           Accredited Investor.                                           The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
 
 
6.7           Residency.                      The state of residence of the Investor (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) shall be of the state as listed in the preamble.
 
 
6.8           Rule 144.                      Investor acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and its underlying securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company and Parent, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Investor understands that with respect to the Conversion Shares, such one year period shall not commence until the date of issuance of the Conversion Shares.  Investor understands that the current public information referred to above is not now available regarding the Company and the Company has no present plans to make such information available. Investor acknowledges and understands that the Company or Parent may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Investor wishes to sell the Shares or the Conversion Shares, and that, in such event, the Investor may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Investor acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Shares or the underlying Common Stock. Investor understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
 
 
6.9           No Public Market.                                Investor understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company’s securities.
 
 
6.10           Authorization
 
 
(a)           Investor has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to exchange the Note for the Preferred Shares and Warrants hereunder and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Agreement.

6.12           Tax Advisors.                                Investor has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.  With respect to such matters, Investor relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company, the Parent, or any of their agents, written or oral. The Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
6.14           Debt to Equity.                                Investor represents that Investor understands that Investor is converting debt of the Company to equity in the Company.  In the event of a liquidation, debt-holders would have a liquidation preference ahead of equity-holders.

EXHIBIT 1
 
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
PREFERRED STOCK
OF
TWO RIVERS FARMS F-1, INC.
 To Be Designated
 
Series F-1-A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Two Rivers Farms F-1, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), at a meeting duly convened and held, at which a quorum was present and acting throughout:
 
RESOLVED , that pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors by the Company’s Article of Incorporation, the issuance of a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company which shall consist of 2,400,000 shares of convertible preferred stock be, and the same hereby is, authorized; and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company be, and he hereby is, authorized and directed to execute and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado a Certificate of Designation of Preferred Stock of the Company fixing the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof (in addition to the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Company’s preferred stock), as follows:
 
1. Number of Shares; Designation . A total of 2,400,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company are hereby designated as Series F-1-A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series”). Shares of the Series (“Preferred Shares”) will be authorized pursuant to a Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) by and among the Company and the holders of the Company’s Series A Secured Convertible Participating Promissory Note debt (the “Holder”), a copy of which will be provided to any shareholder of the Company upon request therefor.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings set forth in the Conversion Agreement.
 
2. Rank. The Series shall, with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, rank senior and prior to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), and any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Company and are designated in the amendment to the Articles  of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking junior to the Preferred Shares. Any shares of the Company’s stock which are junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company are hereinafter referred to as “Junior Liquidation Shares.”
 


 
3. Dividends .
 
 
(a) Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend.   Holders of the Preferred Shares ("Shareholders") will be entitled to receive an annual dividend when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum .  The 8% dividend will be declared, if any, on March 31, and paid annually on May 15.  The initial 8% dividend payment will accrue from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013, declared on March 31, 2014 and first payable on May 15, 2014.    Thereafter, the annual 8% dividend will accrue from January 1 to December 31.  In the event that an 8% dividend is not paid when due, the amount of such unpaid 8% dividend will accumulate and compound at 8% per annum until paid.
 
 

 
(b)   Cumulative 25% Net Profits Participation Dividend.     Shareholders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully subscribed basis, of the Annual Net Profit (“Profit Participation”).  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and dividend payments and estimated income taxes owed.  The Profit Participation will be determined annually after the Company’s financial results are audited and, when and if declared, will be announced on March 31 and paid on May 15.  The Profit Participation will first be determined and paid for the 2013 fiscal year, and, therefore, will first be payable on May 15, 2014.  The Profit Participation payable to the holder of each Preferred Share outstanding on the respective payment date is determined by multiplying the Annual Net Profit by .25 and dividing that product by 2,013,750.
 

 
4. Liquidation .  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company Common Stock or any Junior Liquidation Shares by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each Preferred Shares held by them equal to $1.00 (subject to adjustments) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up (the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the Preferred Shares are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the entire Liquidation Preference  then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Shares in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
 
5. Conversion .
 
(a) Right to Convert . Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of, one Preferred Share held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for one (1) share of Common Stock of the Two Rivers Water & Farming Company, a Colorado corporation (the “Parent”) as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”).    A Conversion shall be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein.  Any Common Stock of the Parent received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”
 

 
 (b) Conversion Notice . In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to the Parent by electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain Time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I   to the Conversion Agreement (a “Conversion Notice”), and stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted.,  The Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Parent.  The Company shall provide a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in ”Adjustments” below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments.  The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice.  Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.
 

 
(c) Number of Conversion Shares . The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Parent to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by multiplying the number of Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by one; provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of common stock of the Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) and shares of the Parent Common Stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock then authorized to be delivered by the Parent, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of the Parent Common Stock authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Parent will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.
 

 
 (d) Delivery of Conversion Shares . The Parent shall, no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Parent receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Parent receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such third Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above.
 

 
(e) Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(i)            Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock .  In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Parent shall be subdivided by stock split or stock dividends, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect (currently one Preferred Share converts into two Common Shares of the Parent) with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or dividend, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the subdivision or dividend as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the subdivision or dividend. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the combination or consolidation as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the combination or consolidation.
 
(ii)            Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution .  If the Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction.  The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.
 
(iii)            Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion rate pursuant to an Adjustment, the Parent at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion Rate then in effect.  The Parent shall, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
 
(iv)            Rounding .  All calculations under this Section 5(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.
 

 
(f)  The Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of the Parent Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of the Parent Common Stock, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of the Parent Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares.
 

 
6.  Preferred Shareholder Supplemental Rights Upon an Event Of Default.                                                                                                                                    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined below, the Shareholders may call a special meeting at which Shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares may cause a replacement of a Parent-designated director of the Company with a Preferred Shareholder-designated director (giving the Preferred Shareholders the right to fill two of the Company’s three Board seats).  Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of Replacement Director (each of them a “Nominee”).    Only Nominees who express a willingness to serve as Replacement Director will be eligible for election (the “Replacement Candidate”).  The Replacement Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the Replacement Director upon election.  The Replacement Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (a majority of Preferred Shares) is present.  Any future dispositive action of this newly-constituted Board of Directors (including liquidation, sale, or merger of the Company and the sale or transfer of substantial assets of the Company) will become effective only upon the affirmative vote of a majority in interest of the outstanding Preferred Shares.
 

 
(a)   Events of Default.   The following are Events of Default: (1) failure to declare and pay when due two consecutive annual installments of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend; (2) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by either the Company or the Parent or the approval of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy related to either the Company or the Parent; (3) the breach of a Major Covenant, as defined below in section 6(b); and (4) the failure to remedy the breach of any Additional  Covenant, as defined in section 6(c),  or Parent Covenant, as defined in section 6(d), within 60 days after actual notice of its breach.
 

 
(b) Major Covenants.   While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of Shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preferred Shares:: (1) not to incur any debt except for regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company; and (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity);  Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Major Covenant.”
 

 
(c)   Additional Covenants.    While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (2) to observe all financial covenants; (3) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Parent; (4) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (5) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due  the Profit Participation; (6) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (7) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; and (8) to limit the number of its Directors to three.  Each of these covenants is referred to as an “Additional Covenant.”
 

 
(d)   Parent Covenants .  While the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Parent covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the Preferred Shares, to appoint three directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the Preferred Shares (the “PS Director”).  The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of the Company, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director, as provided below in Section 2.10 below; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the Company’s financial reports; (7)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred; and (b) for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and  (8) to certify at least annually that, to the Parent’s actual knowledge, neither the Parent nor the Company is in breach of a Major Covenant, Additional Covenant, or a Parent Covenant.  These covenants shall be collectively referred to as “Parent Covenants”.
 

 
7. Status of Shares . All Preferred Shares that are at any time converted pursuant to paragraph 5 above, and all Preferred Shares that are otherwise reacquired by the Company and subsequently canceled by the Board of Directors, shall be retired and shall not be subject to reissuance.
 

 
8. Voting Rights .  The Series F-1-A Convertible Preferred Stock does not carry any voting rights except as provided herein as a remedy under Preferred Shareholder Supplemental Rights Upon an Event of Default above in Section 6.  However, as long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Shareholders holding Preferred Shares, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Shares or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Preferred Shares, (c) amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Shareholders, (d) increase the number of authorized Preferred Shares, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
 

 
9. Redemption .  The Preferred Shares may be redeemed at any time by the Company provided the Company gives notice of redemption of all but not less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares and the Company has on hand funds sufficient to redeem the Preferred Shares. The redemption price will be $1.00 per share plus accrued dividends, if any.  Subject to the Shareholders’ prior conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company will redeem all Preferred Shares which remain outstanding, for cash, on a specified business day which is at least thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of redemption.  The Company has no obligation to redeem the Preferred Shares. The Company agrees that it will not redeem any Preferred Shares that would result in any Shareholder having a beneficial common share ownership of the Parent in excess of 9.9% (nine point nine percent).
 

 
10.   No Preemptive Rights .  No Shareholder of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled as of right to subscribe for, purchase, or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class whether now or hereafter authorized, or of bonds, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible in to or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all such new or additional shares of any class, or bonds, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares, may be issued and disposed of by the Board of Directors on such terms as for such consideration (to the extent permitted by law), and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors in their absolute discretion may deem advisable.
 

 
11. Registrar . The Parent will act as the Registrar for the Preferred Shares which will be transferable (i) only to other qualified investors, (ii) subject to any restrictions imposed by state and federal securities regulations, and (iii) solely through entry by the Parent in a registration book maintained for that purpose.

Section 1 .                       Definitions .
 
(a) “National Exchange” shall mean NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Capital Market, NYSE MKT or the New York Stock Exchange, or equivalent.
 
Section 2.                       Exercise .
 
(a)            Time and Manner of Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Expiration Date by delivery to the Company at its principal executive offices as set forth above of a duly executed original, electronic or facsimile of the Notice of Exercise, a form of which is annexed hereto, together with the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Shares and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Notice.  The Holder, and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Shares hereunder, the number of Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
(b)            Mechanics of Exercise .
 
(i)   Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Certificates for Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “ Transfer Agent ”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Shares to or resale of the Shares by the Holder or if the Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is fifteen (15) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Purchase Price as set forth above (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).  The Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Purchase Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 1(b)(v) below, prior to the issuance of such Shares, having been paid.

(ii)   Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii)   No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Purchase Price or round up to the next whole share.

(iv)   Legends .  Until the earlier of (i) the date on which a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) covering the issuance and sale or the resale of the Shares is declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) and (ii) subject to the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the date that is one year after the date the Shares were issued, any certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (“THE ACT”) AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY.
 
(v)   Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of certificates for Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

(vi)   Registration Rights .  On or before July 1, 2013, the Company shall file a registration statement with the SEC for the purpose of registering for resale the common stock underlying the Warrants.

(vii)   Failure to Deliver Certificates .  If, in the case of any Notice of Exercise, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any Warrant certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Exercise.

(viii)   Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages .  The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver the Shares upon conversion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder, or any breach or alleged breach by Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action that the Company may have against such Holder.  In the event a Holder shall elect to convert this Warrant into all or any portion of the Shares, the Company may not refuse exercise based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining exercise of all or part of this Warrant of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 100% of the payment to be provided by the Holder to the Company pursuant to such Notice of Exercise or if Shares are issued by means of a cashless exercise, as if payment would have be made by the Holder, to purchase the Shares, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation (including, but not limited to, through any and all appeals process), of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment.  In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue the Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed exercise. If the Company fails to deliver to a Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 2 on the Warrant Share Delivery Date applicable to such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $10,000 provided or to be provided by the Holder, or if Shares are issued by means of a cashless exercise, as if payment would have be made by the Holder to purchase Shares, $100 per trading day (increasing to $200 per trading day on the second (2nd) trading day after such damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates (which must be without restrictive legend if the Shares are registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144), are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other section hereof or under applicable law.

Section 3 .                       Certain Adjustments .
 
(a)           Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.   If the Company, at any time after the date hereof: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Purchase Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Purchase Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.

(b)           Subsequent Rights Offerings .  If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the closing price of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, then, the Purchase Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such closing price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

(c)           Pro Rata Distributions .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase  Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the closing price of the Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such closing price of the Common Stock on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(d)           Notice to Holder.

i.           Adjustment to Purchase Price.   Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii.           Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder.   If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; (B) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (C) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at the last address as it shall appear upon the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent Holder would not otherwise be entitled to exercise this Warrant, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

iii.           Fundamental Transaction.   If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another person whereby such other person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”).  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant for the Alternate Consideration.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

Section 4.                       Call Provision .
 
The Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem any or all of the outstanding and unexercised Warrants upon giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder (the “Redemption Notice”) for $0.001 per Warrant; provided, however, no Redemption Notice may be delivered by the Company unless all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(i)   The Common Stock shall be traded on a National Exchange; and

(ii)   the closing or last sale price of a share of Common Stock on the principal market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded is equal to or above $4.00 for 20 consecutive trading days and during such period the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock on the National Exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded exceeds 100,000 shares; and

(iii)   the Company has filed a registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the issuance and sale or the resale of the Shares and such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC and remains effective during the 20 consecutive trading day period referenced in (ii) above and through the date of redemption.

The Holder may exercise all or a portion of this Warrant prior to the date set forth in the Redemption Notice as the redemption date.   The Company agrees that it will not call unexercised Warrants represented by this certificate if the call would result in this Holder and its affiliates having a beneficial common share ownership of the Company in excess of 9.9% (nine point nine percent).  In the event there is a call of the unexercised Warrants represented by this certificate, and Company is barred from calling due to the fact that Holder’s and its affiliates’ beneficial common share ownership would exceed 9.9% (nine point nine percent), Holder shall have the right to extend the expiration date of the Warrants for one year, to December 31, 2018.

Section 5.                       Transfer of Warrant .
(a)   Transferability .  This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b)   New Warrants .  This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.  All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c)   Warrant Register .  The Company, or assigns, shall maintain the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time (the “ Warrant Register ”).  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 6 .                      Miscellaneous .
(a)   No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise .  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.
(b)   Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant .  The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(c)   Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc .  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
(d)   Authorized Shares .  The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the National Exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
(e)   Jurisdiction .  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(f)   Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g)   Non-waiver .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(h)   Notices .  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(i)   Limitation of Liability .  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(j)   Remedies .  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(k)   Successors and Assigns .  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Shares.
(l)   Amendment .  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
(m)   Severability .  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(n)   Headings .  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
(o)  
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed by its duly authorized officer and this Warrant to be dated as of the date first above written.

1.3           Warrant Exchange.                                The Parties agree to exchange the Series B Warrants that the Investor received from Two Rivers upon investing in the Note. All rights and privileges under the Series B warrant will be released.  The new warrants will permit warrant-holders to purchase the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at $3.00, and will expire on December 31, 2017 (the “F-2-B Warrants”). The F-2-B Warrants are issued by Two Rivers.  Investor shall receive one F-2-B Warrant for every two dollars of Debt converted.  The F-2-B Warrants may be exercised on or before December 31, 2017; provided however, that the F-2-B Warrants may be called by the Parent for $0.001 per F-2-B Warrant, after 30 days prior written notice, any time after a registration statement relating to the underlying common stock has been filed and declared effective and provided such registration statement must have been effective during the period set forth in (i)-(iii) below through the date of redemption, so long as (i) the Parent’s common stock is listed on a national exchange, (ii) the closing price for such common stock has traded at $4.00 or above a share for 20 consecutive trading days, and (iii) the average daily trading volume of such common stock has been equal to or greater than 100,000 shares for 20 consecutive trading days.  The Parent will file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC for the Common Stock underlying the Exchange Warrants.  The form of the Exchange Warrant which contains other terms and definitions, including another designation and call provisions, is attached herein as Exhibit 2.
 
 
1.4           Cancellation of Rescission Rights.  Investor was granted a thirty (30) day period after execution of a letter of initial interest to rescind Investor’s interest in converting their Note to Preferred Shares.  Upon execution of this Agreement, the thirty day period shall expire, whether the thirty days have been exhausted or not, and the mutually executed Agreement shall not be rescindable.
 
 
1.5           Entity Conversion.  After the 30 day period of rescission has expired, the Two Rivers Farms F-2, LLC will: (1) convert the entity from a Colorado limited liability company to a Colorado corporation; (2) create and authorize the Preferred Shares as described in this Agreement and in the Certificate of Designation; and (3) issue and deliver the Preferred Shares and Warrants to the Investor.

2.1           Release of Note.  Upon the execution of this Agreement and delivery of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Investor agrees to release all its rights, and to release the Company from all its obligations, under the Note, including but not limited to the rights and obligations of the Security Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Guaranty, the Subordination Agreement, and the Series B Warrant.
 
 
SECTION 3
 
 
RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PREFERRED SHARES
 
 
The Preferred Shares have the following rights, privileges, and obligations in addition to rights, privileges, and obligations of the Preferred Shares contained in the Certificate of Designation:
 
 
3.1           Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend. Holders of the Preferred Shares ("Shareholders") will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum .  The 8% dividend will be declared, if any, on March 31, and paid annually on May 15.  The initial 8% dividend payment, when and if declared, will accrue from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013, be declared on March 31, 2014 and first payable on May 15, 2014.  Thereafter, the annual 8% dividend will accrue from January 1 to December 31.  In the event that a 8% dividend is not paid when due, the amount of such unpaid 8% dividend will accumulate and compound at 8% per annum until paid.
 
 
3.2.           25% Net Profit Participation Dividend.  Shareholders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit (the “Profit Participation”).  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and estimated income taxes owed. The Profit Participation will be determined annually after the Company’s financial results are audited and, when and if declared, will be announced on March 31 and paid on May 15.  The Profit Participation will first be determined and paid for the 2013 fiscal year, and, therefore, will first be payable on May 15, 2014.  The Profit Participation payable to the holder of each Preferred Share outstanding on the respective payment date is determined by multiplying the Annual Net Profit by .25 and dividing that product by 5,467,420.
 
 
3.3           Redemption.                      The Preferred Shares may be redeemed at any time by the Company provided the Company gives notice of redemption of all but not less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares and the Company has on hand funds sufficient to redeem the Preferred Shares.   The redemption price will be $1.00 per share plus accrued dividends, if any.  Subject to the Shareholders’ prior conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company will redeem all Preferred Shares which remain outstanding, for cash, on a specified business day which is at least thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of redemption.  The Company has no obligation to redeem the Preferred Shares. The Company agrees that it will not redeem any Preferred Shares that would result in any Shareholder having a beneficial common share ownership of the Parent in excess of 9.9% (nine point nine percent).
 
 
3.4           Liquidation.                      In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the Shareholders shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company’s common stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each Preferred Shares held by them equal to $1.00 (subject to adjustments) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends based on the number of days during the dividend period that the Preferred Shares are outstanding (the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the Shareholder are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the entire Liquidation Preference then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the Shareholders in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
 
 
SECTION 4
 
 
COVENANTS
 
 
4.1           Major Covenants.                                While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of Shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preferred Shares: (1) not to incur any debt except for regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company; and (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity).  Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Major Covenant.”
 
 
4.2           Additional Covenants.                                           While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (2) to observe all financial covenants; (3) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Parent; (4) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (5) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) the Profit Participation; (6) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (7) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; and (8) to limit the number of its Directors to three.  Each of these covenants is referred to as an “Additional Covenant.”
 
 
4.3           Parent Covenants.                                While the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Parent covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the Preferred Shares, to appoint three directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the Preferred Shares (the “PS Director”).  The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of the Company, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director, as provided below in Section 4.9 below; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the Company’s financial reports; (7)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred; and (b) for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and  (8) to certify at least annually that, to the Parent’s actual knowledge, neither the Parent nor the Company is in breach of a Major Covenant, Additional Covenant, or a Parent Covenant.  These covenants shall be collectively referred to as “Parent Covenants”.
 
 
4.4           Events of Default.                                The following are Events of Default: (1) failure to declare and pay when due two consecutive annual installments of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend; (2) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by either the Company or the Parent or the approval of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy related to either the Company or the Parent; (3) the breach of a Major Covenant; and (4) the failure to remedy the breach of any Additional  Covenant or Parent Covenant within 60 days after actual notice of its breach.
 
 
4.5           Preferred Shareholder Supplemental Rights Upon an Event Of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Shareholders may call a special meeting at which Shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares may cause a replacement of a Parent-designated director of the Company with a Preferred Shareholder-designated director (giving the Preferred Shareholders the right to fill two of the Company’s three Board seats).  Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of Replacement Director (each of them a “Nominee”).    Only Nominees who express a willingness to serve as Replacement Director will be eligible for election (the “Replacement Candidate”).  The Replacement Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the Replacement Director upon election.  The Replacement Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (a majority of Preferred Shares) is present.  Any future dispositive action of this newly-constituted Board of Directors (including liquidation, sale, or merger of the Company and the sale or transfer of substantial assets of the Company) will become effective only upon the affirmative vote of a majority in interest of the outstanding Preferred Shares.
 
 
4.6           Conversion of Preferred Shares.
 
 
(a) Right to Convert.  Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of, one Preferred Share, held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for one (1) share of the Common Stock of the Parent as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”).  A Conversion shall be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein.  Any Common Stock of the Parent received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”
 
 
(b) Conversion Notice. In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to Two Rivers by electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or Federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I hereto (a “Conversion Notice”), stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted, and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in 4.6(e) below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments made to the Conversion Rate.  The Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Parent.  The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice.  Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.
 
 
(c) Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Parent to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by multiplying the Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by one (1); provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Parent and shares of Common Stock of the Parent which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of Common Stock of the Parent then authorized to be delivered by the Parent, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock of the Parent authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Parent will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.
 
 
 (d) Delivery of Conversion Shares.
 
 
(i)           Two Rivers shall, no later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Parent receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Parent receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such fifteenth Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 4.6(c) above.  The Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Shareholder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the date the registration statement (described in Section 4.7 below) becomes effective, will be without restrictive legend and will represent the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares; and the Company shall deliver a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of conversion.
 
 
(ii)           The Parent’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Shareholder, or any breach or alleged breach by Shareholder of any obligation to the Company or Parent or any violation or alleged violation of law by Shareholder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Parent to such Shareholder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Parent or Company of any such action that they may have against such Shareholder.  If the Parent fails to deliver to a Shareholder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4.6(d)(i) on the Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Parent shall pay to such Shareholder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $10,000 of Preferred Shares being converted, $100 per trading day (increasing to $200 per trading day on the second (2nd) trading day after such damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the Delivery Date until such certificates (which must be without restrictive legend if the Conversion Shares are registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 and be delivered without legend), are delivered.  Nothing herein shall limit a Shareholder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Parent’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Shareholder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Shareholder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
 
 
(e) Adjustments. The Conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
 
(i)           Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.  In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Parent shall be subdivided by stock split or stock dividends, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect (currently one Preferred Share converts into one Common Share of the Parent) with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or dividend, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the subdivision or dividend as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the subdivision or dividend. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the combination or consolidation as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the combination or consolidation.
 
 
(ii)           Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Parent deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction.  The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.
 
 
(iii)           Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion rate pursuant to an Adjustment, the Parent at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion rate then in effect.  The Parent shall, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
 
 
(iv)           Rounding.  All calculations under this Section 4.6(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.
 
 
(f)  The Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Parent as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock of Parent, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of Parent to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares.
 
 
4.7           Registration.  The Parent commits to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC for the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock underlying the Warrants.
 
 
4.8           Registrar.  Two Rivers will act as the Registrar for the Preferred Shares which will be transferable (i) only to other accredited investors, (ii) subject to state and federal securities laws, and (iii) solely through entry by the Registrar in a registration book maintained for that purpose.  There is no secondary market for the Preferred Shares, and none is likely to develop. Therefore, purchasers of the Preferred Shares should expect to hold them indefinitely or until converted into common stock (which may be restricted, notwithstanding the Parent’s registration covenants).
 
 
4.9           PS Director.    Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of PS Director, each candidate a “Nominee”.  The Parent will provide to the holders of the Preferred Shares a list of such Nominees who indicate a willingness to serve as PS Director, each of them a “Candidate”.  The Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the PS Director upon election.  The PS Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (which is a majority of Preferred Shares) is present.

SECTION 6
 
 
Representations and Warranties of the Investor
 
 
Investor hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
 
 
6.1           No Registration.                                Investor understands that as of the date of this Agreement the  Warrants, the Warrant Shares,  the Conversion Shares, and the Preferred Shares have not been, and may never be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
 
 
6.2           Investment Intent.                                Investor is acquiring the Preferred Shares, for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Investor further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Units.
 
 
6.3           Investment Experience.  Investor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that such Investor can protect its own interests. Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company.
 
 
6.4           Speculative Nature of Investment.                                                                Investor understands and acknowledges that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. Investor can bear the economic risk of such Investor’s investment and is able, without impairing such Investor’s financial condition, to hold the Units for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such Investor’s investment.
 
 
6.5           Access to Data.                                           Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company and Parent concerning the Agreement, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, as well as the Company’s and Parent’s business, management and financial affairs, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. Investor believes that it has received all the information such Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to converts their Note to Preferred Shares. Investor understands that such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company or Parent, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s and Parent’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. Investor acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company or Parent have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Investor also acknowledges that it is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or Parent or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.
 
 
6.6           Accredited Investor.                                           The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
 
 
6.7           Residency.                      The state of residence of the Investor (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) shall be of the state as listed in the preamble.
 
 
6.8           Rule 144.                      Investor acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and its underlying securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company and Parent, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Investor understands that with respect to the Conversion Shares, such one year period shall not commence until the date of issuance of the Conversion Shares.  Investor understands that the current public information referred to above is not now available regarding the Company and the Company has no present plans to make such information available. Investor acknowledges and understands that the Company or Parent may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Investor wishes to sell the Shares or the Conversion Shares, and that, in such event, the Investor may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Investor acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Shares or the underlying Common Stock. Investor understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
 
 
6.9           No Public Market.                                Investor understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company’s securities.

6.12           Tax Advisors.                                Investor has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. With respect to such matters, Investor relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company, the Parent, or any of their agents, written or oral. The Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
 
 
6.13           Legends.                      Investor understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares, or any other securities issued in respect of the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legend (in addition to any legend required by the Rights Agreement or under applicable state securities laws):

6.14           Debt to Equity.                                Investor represents that Investor understands that Investor is converting debt of the Company to equity in the Company.  In the event of a liquidation, debt-holders would have a liquidation preference ahead of equity-holders.

 To Be Designated
 
Series F-2-B Convertible Preferred Stock
 

 
The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Two Rivers Farms F-2, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), at a meeting duly convened and held, at which a quorum was present and acting throughout:
 
RESOLVED , that pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors by the Company’s Article of Incorporation, the issuance of a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company which shall consist of 6,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock be, and the same hereby is, authorized; and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company be, and he hereby is, authorized and directed to execute and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado a Certificate of Designation of Preferred Stock of the Company fixing the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof (in addition to the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Company’s preferred stock), as follows:
 
1. Number of Shares; Designation . A total of 6,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company are hereby designated as Series F-2-B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series”). Shares of the Series (“Preferred Shares”) will be authorized pursuant to a Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) by and among the Company and the holders of the Company’s Series B Secured Convertible Participating Promissory Note debt (the “Holder”), a copy of which will be provided to any shareholder of the Company upon request therefor.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings set forth in the Conversion Agreement.
 
2. Rank. The Series shall, with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, rank senior and prior to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), and any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Company and are designated in the amendment to the Articles  of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking junior to the Preferred Shares. Any shares of the Company’s stock which are junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company are hereinafter referred to as “Junior Liquidation Shares.”
 
3. Dividends .
 
 
(a) Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend.   Holders of the Preferred Shares ("Shareholders") will be entitled to receive an annual dividend when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum .  The 8% dividend will be declared, if any, on March 31, and paid annually on May 15.  The initial 8% dividend payment, if declared, will accrue from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013, be declared on March 31, 2014 and first payable on May 15, 2014.  Thereafter, the annual 8% dividend will accrue from January 1 to December 31.  In the event that an 8% dividend is not paid when due, the amount of such unpaid 8% dividend will accumulate and compound at 8% per annum until paid.
 
(b)   Cumulative 25% Net Profits Participation Dividend     Shareholders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 25%, on a fully subscribed basis, of the Annual Net Profit (“Profit Participation”).  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and dividend payments and estimated income taxes owed.  The Profit Participation will be determined annually after the Company’s financial results are audited and, when and if declared, will be announced on March 31 and paid on May 15.  The Profit Participation will first be determined and paid for the 2013 fiscal year, and, therefore, will first be payable on May 15, 2014.  The Profit Participation payable to the holder of each Preferred Share outstanding on the respective payment date is determined by multiplying the Annual Net Profit by .25 and dividing that product by 5,467,420.
 
4. Liquidation .  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company Common Stock or any Junior Liquidation Shares by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each Preferred Shares held by them equal to $1.00 (subject to adjustments) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up (the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the Preferred Shares are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the entire Liquidation Preference  then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Shares in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
 
5. Conversion .
 
(a) Right to Convert . Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of, one Preferred Share held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for one (1) share of Common Stock of the Two Rivers Water & Farming Company, a Colorado corporation (the “Parent”) as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”).    A Conversion shall be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein.  Any Common Stock of the Parent received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”
 
(b) Conversion Notice . In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to the Parent by electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain Time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I   to the Memorandum (a “Conversion Notice”), and stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted.,  The Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Parent.  The Company shall provide a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in ”Adjustments” below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments.  The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice.  Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.
 
(c) Number of Conversion Shares . The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Parent to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by multiplying the number of Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by one; provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of common stock of the Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) and shares of the Parent Common Stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock then authorized to be delivered by the Parent, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of the Parent Common Stock authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Parent will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.
 
(d) Delivery of Conversion Shares . The Parent shall, no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Parent receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Parent receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such third Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above.
 
(e) Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(i)            Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock .  In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Parent shall be subdivided by stock split or stock dividends, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect (currently one Preferred Share converts into two Common Shares of the Parent) with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or dividend, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the subdivision or dividend as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the subdivision or dividend. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Parent after the combination or consolidation as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the combination or consolidation.
 
(ii)            Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution .  If the Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction.  The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.
 
(iii)            Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion rate pursuant to an Adjustment, the Parent at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion Rate then in effect.  The Parent shall, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the number of shares of the Parent Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
 
(iv)            Rounding .  All calculations under this Section 5(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.
 
(f)  The Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of the Parent Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of the Parent Common Stock, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of the Parent Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares.
 
6.  Preferred Shareholder Supplemental Rights Upon an Event Of Default.                                                                                                                                    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined below, the Shareholders may call a special meeting at which Shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares may cause a replacement of a Parent-designated director of the Company with a Preferred Shareholder-designated director (giving the Preferred Shareholders the right to fill two of the Company’s three Board seats).  Any holder of Preferred Shares will have the right to nominate a candidate for the position of Replacement Director (each of them a “Nominee”).    Only Nominees who express a willingness to serve as Replacement Director will be eligible for election (the “Replacement Candidate”).  The Replacement Candidate receiving the votes representing a plurality of the outstanding Preferred Shares will become the Replacement Director upon election.  The Replacement Director will serve until replaced by a plurality vote of the outstanding Preferred Shares at a meeting where a quorum (a majority of Preferred Shares) is present.  Any future dispositive action of this newly-constituted Board of Directors (including liquidation, sale, or merger of the Company and the sale or transfer of substantial assets of the Company) will become effective only upon the affirmative vote of a majority in interest of the outstanding Preferred Shares.
 
(a)   Events of Default.   The following are Events of Default: (1) failure to declare and pay when due two consecutive annual installments of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend; (2) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by either the Company or the Parent or the approval of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy related to either the Company or the Parent; (3) the breach of a Major Covenant, as defined below in section 6(b); and (4) the failure to remedy the breach of any Additional  Covenant, as defined in section 6(c),  or Parent Covenant, as defined in section 6(d), within 60 days after actual notice of its breach.
 
(b) Major Covenants.   While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of Shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preferred Shares:: (1) not to incur any debt except for regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company, unless the incurrence of additional debt is agreed upon by an affirmative vote of Shareholders owning; and (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity);  Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Major Covenant.”
 
(c)   Additional Covenants.    While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (2) to observe all financial covenants; (3) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations separate from the books and records of the Parent; (4) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (5) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 25% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due  the Profit Participation; (6) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; (7) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; and (8) to limit the number of its Directors to three; Each of these covenants is referred to as an “Additional Covenant.”
 
(d)   Parent Covenants .  While the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Parent covenants: (1) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (2) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (4) prior to the initial issuance of the Preferred Shares, to appoint three directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, one of whom will be designated to represent the interests of the holders of the Preferred Shares (the “PS Director”).  The PS Director will have the same rights and duties as each of the other directors of the Company, and the Board of Directors shall act by majority vote; (5) coincident with its annual meeting each year, to conduct an election among holders of the Preferred Shares for the purpose of electing the PS Director; (6) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the Company’s financial reports; (7)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred; and (b) for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and  (8) to certify at least annually that, to the Parent’s actual knowledge, neither the Parent nor the Company is in breach of a Major Covenant, Additional Covenant, or a Parent Covenant.  These covenants shall be collectively referred to as “Parent Covenants”.
 
7. Status of Shares . All Preferred Shares that are at any time converted pursuant to paragraph 5 above, and all Preferred Shares that are otherwise reacquired by the Company and subsequently canceled by the Board of Directors, shall be retired and shall not be subject to reissuance.
 
8. Voting Rights .  The Series F-2-B Convertible Preferred Stock does not carry any voting rights except as provided herein as a remedy under Preferred Shareholder Supplemental Rights Upon an Event of Default in the Purchase Agreement.  However, as long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Shareholders holding Preferred Shares, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Shares or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Preferred Shares, (c) amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Shareholders, (d) increase the number of authorized Preferred Shares, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
 
9. Redemption .  The Preferred Shares may be redeemed at any time by the Company provided the Company gives notice of redemption of all but not less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares and the Company has on hand funds sufficient to redeem the Preferred Shares. The redemption price will be $1.00 per share plus accrued dividends, if any.  Subject to the Shareholders’ prior conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company will redeem all Preferred Shares which remain outstanding, for cash, on a specified business day which is at least thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of redemption.  The Company has no obligation to redeem the Preferred Shares. The Company agrees that it will not redeem any Preferred Shares that would result in any Shareholder having a beneficial common share ownership of the Company in excess of 9.9% (nine point nine percent).  
 
10.   No Preemptive Rights .  No Shareholder of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled as of right to subscribe for, purchase, or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class whether now or hereafter authorized, or of bonds, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible in to or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all such new or additional shares of any class, or bonds, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares, may be issued and disposed of by the Board of Directors on such terms as for such consideration (to the extent permitted by law), and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors in their absolute discretion may deem advisable.
 
11. Registrar . The Parent will act as the Registrar for the Preferred Shares which will be transferable (i) only to other qualified investors, (ii) subject to any restrictions imposed by state and federal securities regulations, and (iii) solely through entry by the Parent in a registration book maintained for that purpose.

Section 1 .                       Definitions .
 
(a) “National Exchange” shall mean NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Capital Market, NYSE MKT or the New York Stock Exchange, or equivalent.
 
Section 2.                       Exercise .
 
(a)            Time and Manner of Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Expiration Date by delivery to the Company at its principal executive offices as set forth above of a duly executed original, electronic or facsimile of the Notice of Exercise, a form of which is annexed hereto, together with the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Shares and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Notice.  The Holder, and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Shares hereunder, the number of Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
(b)            Mechanics of Exercise .
 
(i)   Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Certificates for Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “ Transfer Agent ”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Shares to or resale of the Shares by the Holder or if the Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is fifteen (15) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Purchase Price as set forth above (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).  The Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Purchase Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 1(b)(v) below, prior to the issuance of such Shares, having been paid.

(ii)   Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii)   No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Purchase Price or round up to the next whole share.

(iv)   Legends .  Until the earlier of (i) the date on which a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) covering the issuance and sale or the resale of the Shares is declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) and (ii) subject to the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the date that is one year after the date the Shares were issued, any certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (“THE ACT”) AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY.
 

(v)   Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of certificates for Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

(vi)   Registration Rights .  On or before July 1, 2013, the Company shall file a registration statement with the SEC for the purpose of registering for resale the common stock underlying the Warrants.

(vii)   Failure to Deliver Certificates .  If, in the case of any Notice of Exercise, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any Warrant certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Exercise.

(viii)   Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages .  The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver the Shares upon conversion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder, or any breach or alleged breach by Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action that the Company may have against such Holder.  In the event a Holder shall elect to convert this Warrant into all or any portion of the Shares, the Company may not refuse exercise based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining exercise of all or part of this Warrant of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 100% of the payment to be provided by the Holder to the Company pursuant to such Notice of Exercise or if Shares are issued by means of a cashless exercise, as if payment would have be made by the Holder, to purchase the Shares, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation (including, but not limited to, through any and all appeals process), of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment.  In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue the Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed exercise. If the Company fails to deliver to a Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 2 on the Warrant Share Delivery Date applicable to such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $10,000 provided or to be provided by the Holder, or if Shares are issued by means of a cashless exercise, as if payment would have be made by the Holder to purchase Shares, $100 per trading day (increasing to $200 per trading day on the second (2nd) trading day after such damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates (which must be without restrictive legend if the Shares are registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144), are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other section hereof or under applicable law.

Section 3 .                       Certain Adjustments .
 
(a)            Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.   If the Company, at any time after the date hereof: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Purchase Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Purchase Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.

(b)            Subsequent Rights Offerings .  If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the closing price of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, then, the Purchase Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such closing price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

(c)            Pro Rata Distributions .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase  Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the closing price of the Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such closing price of the Common Stock on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(d)           Notice to Holder.

i.            Adjustment to Purchase Price.   Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii.            Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder.   If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; (B) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (C) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at the last address as it shall appear upon the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent Holder would not otherwise be entitled to exercise this Warrant, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

iii.            Fundamental Transaction.   If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another person whereby such other person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”).  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant for the Alternate Consideration.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 
Section 4.                       Call Provision .
 
The Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem any or all of the outstanding and unexercised Warrants upon giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder (the “Redemption Notice”) for $0.001 per Warrant; provided, however, no Redemption Notice may be delivered by the Company unless all of the following conditions have been satisfied:
(i)   The Common Stock shall be traded on a National Exchange; and

(ii)   the closing or last sale price of a share of Common Stock on the principal market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded is equal to or above $4.00 for 20 consecutive trading days and during such period the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock on the National Exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded exceeds 100,000 shares; and

(iii)   the Company has filed a registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the issuance and sale or the resale of the Shares and such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC and remains effective during the 20 consecutive trading day period referenced in (ii) above and through the date of redemption.

 
The Holder may exercise all or a portion of this Warrant prior to the date set forth in the Redemption Notice as the redemption date.
 
Section 5.                       Transfer of Warrant .
(a)   Transferability .  This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

(b)   New Warrants .  This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.  All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

(c)   Warrant Register .  The Company, or assigns, shall maintain the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time (the “ Warrant Register ”).  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 6 .                      Miscellaneous .
(a)   No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise .  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.

(b)   Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant .  The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

(c)   Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc .  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

(d)   Authorized Shares .  The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the National Exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

(e)   Jurisdiction .  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(f)   Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

(g)   Non-waiver .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

(h)   Notices .  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(i)   Limitation of Liability .  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(j)   Remedies .  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate

(k)   Successors and Assigns .  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Shares.

(l)   Amendment .  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(m)   Severability .  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(n)   Headings .  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

RELEASE OF NOTE
 
 
2.1           Release of Note.  Upon the execution of this Agreement and delivery of the Preferred Shares, Investor agrees to release all its rights, and to release the Company from all its obligations, under the Bridge Loan.
 
 
SECTION 3
 
 
RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PREFERRED SHARES
 
 
The Preferred Shares have the following rights, privileges, and obligations in addition to rights, privileges, and obligations of the Preferred Shares contained in the Certificate of Designation:
 
 
3.1           Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend.  Holders of the Preferred Shares ("Shareholders") will be entitled to receive an annual dividend, when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum .  The 8% dividend will be declared, if any, on March 31, and paid annually on May 15.  The initial 8% dividend payment, if declared, will accrue from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013, be declared on March 31, 2014 and first payable on May 15, 2014.  Thereafter, the annual 8% dividend will accrue from January 1 to December 31.  In the event that a 8% dividend is not paid when due, the amount of such unpaid 8% dividend will accumulate and compound at 8% per annum until paid.
 
 
3.2.           10% Net Profit Participation Dividend.  Shareholders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 10%, on a fully converted basis, of the Annual Net Profit (the “Profit Participation”).  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and the 8% dividend set forth above and an estimate of income taxes owed. The Profit Participation will be determined annually after the Company’s financial results are audited and, when and if declared, will be announced on March 31 and paid on May 15.  The Profit Participation will first be determined and paid for the 2013 fiscal year, and, therefore, will first be payable on May 15, 2014.  The Profit Participation payable to the holder of each Preferred Share outstanding on the respective payment date is determined by multiplying the Annual Net Profit by .10 and dividing that product by 3,794,000.
 
 
3.3           Redemption.                      The Preferred Shares may be redeemed at any time by the Company provided the Company gives notice of redemption of all but not less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares and the Company has on hand funds sufficient to redeem the Preferred Shares.   The redemption price will be $1.00 per share plus accrued dividends, if any.  Subject to the Shareholders’ prior conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company will redeem all Preferred Shares which remain outstanding, for cash, on a specified business day which is at least thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of redemption.  The Company has no obligation to redeem the Preferred Shares.  The Company agrees that it will not redeem any Preferred Shares that would result in any Shareholder having a beneficial common share ownership of the Company in excess of 9.9% (nine point nine percent) .
 
 
3.4           Liquidation.                      In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the Shareholders shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company’s common stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each Preferred Shares held by them equal to $1.00 (subject to adjustments) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends based on the number of days during the dividend period that the Preferred Shares are outstanding (the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the Shareholder are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the entire Liquidation Preference then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the Shareholders in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
 
 
SECTION 4
 
 
COVENANTS
 
 
4.1           Major Covenants.                                While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of Shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preferred Shares: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company; and (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity).  Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Major Covenant.”

4.4           Conversion of Preferred Shares.
 
 
(a)  Right to Convert.  Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, one Preferred Share, held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for one (1) share of the Common Stock of the Company as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”).  A Conversion shall be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein.  Any Common Stock received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”
 
 
(b)  Conversion Notice.  In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to Two Rivers by electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or Federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I hereto (a “Conversion Notice”), stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted, and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in 4.4(c) below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments made to the Conversion Rate.  The Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Company.  The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice.  Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.
 
 
(c)  Number of Conversion Shares.  The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Company to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by multiplying the Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by one (1); provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of Common Stock then authorized to be delivered by the Company, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Company will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.
 
 
(d)  Delivery of Conversion Shares.
 
 
(i)           Two Rivers shall, no later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Company receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such fifteenth Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 4.5(c) above.  The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Shareholder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the date the registration statement (described in Section 4.7 below) becomes effective, will be without restrictive legend and will represent the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares; and the Company shall deliver a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of conversion.
 
 
(ii)           The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Shareholder, or any breach or alleged breach by Shareholder of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by Shareholder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to such Shareholder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action that they may have against such Shareholder.  If the Company fails to deliver to a Shareholder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4.4(b) on the Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Company shall pay to such Shareholder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $10,000 of Preferred Shares being converted, $100 per trading day (increasing to $200 per trading day on the second (2nd) trading day after such damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the Delivery Date until such certificates (which must be without restrictive legend if the Conversion Shares are registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 and be delivered without legend), are delivered.  Nothing herein shall limit a Shareholder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Shareholder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Shareholder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
 
 
(e)  Adjustments. The Conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
 
(i)           Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.  In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Company shall be subdivided by stock split or stock dividends, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect (currently one Preferred Share converts into one Common Share of the Company) with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision or dividend, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Company after the subdivision or dividend as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the subdivision or dividend. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately adjusted such that the Shareholder shall receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the same percentage of the Company after the combination or consolidation as the Shareholder would have received immediately prior to the combination or consolidation.
 
 
(ii)           Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction.  The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.
 
 
(iii)           Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion rate pursuant to an Adjustment, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion rate then in effect.  The Company shall, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
 
 
(iv)           Rounding.  All calculations under this Section 4.4(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.
 
 
(f)  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares.
 
 
4.5           Registration.  The Company commits to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC for the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (“Warrant Shares”).
 
 
4.6           Registrar.  Two Rivers will act as the Registrar for the Preferred Shares which will be transferable (i) only to other accredited investors, (ii) subject to state and federal securities laws, and (iii) solely through entry by the Registrar in a registration book maintained for that purpose.  There is no secondary market for the Preferred Shares, and none is likely to develop. Therefore, purchasers of the Preferred Shares should expect to hold them indefinitely or until converted into common stock (which may be restricted, notwithstanding the Company’s registration covenants).

SECTION 6
 
 
Representations and Warranties of the Investor
 
 
Investor hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
 
 
6.1           No Registration.                                Investor understands that as of the date of this Agreement the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Conversion Shares, and the Preferred Shares have not been, and may never be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
 
 
6.2           Investment Intent.                                Investor is acquiring the Preferred Shares, for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Investor further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Preferred Shares.
 
 
6.3           Investment Experience.                                                      Investor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that such Investor can protect its own interests. Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company.
 
 
6.4           Speculative Nature of Investment.                                                                Investor understands and acknowledges that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. Investor can bear the economic risk of such Investor’s investment and is able, without impairing such Investor’s financial condition, to hold the Preferred Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such Investor’s investment.
 
 
6.5           Access to Data.                                           Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company concerning the Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, as well as the Company’s business, management and financial affairs, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. Investor believes that it has received all the information such Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to convert their Note to Preferred Shares. Investor understands that such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. Investor acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Investor also acknowledges that it is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
 
 
6.6           Accredited Investor.                                           The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.
 
 
6.7           Residency.                      The state of residence of the Investor (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) shall be of the state as listed in the preamble.
 
 
6.8           Rule 144.                      Investor acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and its underlying securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. Investor understands that with respect to the Conversion Shares, such one year period shall not commence until the date of issuance of the Conversion Shares.  Investor understands that the current public information referred to above is not now available regarding the Company and the Company has no present plans to make such information available. Investor acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Investor wishes to sell the Shares or the Conversion Shares, and that, in such event, the Investor may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Such Investor acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Shares or the underlying Common Stock. Investor understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
 
 
6.9           No Public Market.                                Investor understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for the Preferred Share issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for these securities.

6.12           Tax Advisors.                                Investor has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. With respect to such matters, Investor relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of their agents, written or oral. The Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
 
 
6.13           Legends.                      Investor understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares, or any other securities issued in respect of the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legend (in addition to any legend required by the Rights Agreement or under applicable state securities laws):

6.14.           Debt to Equity.  Investor represents that Investor understands that Investor is converting debt of the Company to equity in the Company.  In the event of liquidation, debt-holders would have a liquidation preference ahead of equity-holders.

 To Be Designated
 
Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock
 

 
The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Two Rivers Water & Farming Company, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), at a meeting duly convened and held, at which a quorum was present and acting throughout:
 
RESOLVED , that pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors by the Company’s Article of Incorporation, the issuance of a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company which shall consist of 4,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock be, and the same hereby is, authorized; and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company be, and he hereby is, authorized and directed to execute and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado a Certificate of Designation of Preferred Stock of the Company fixing the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof (in addition to the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Company’s preferred stock), as follows:
 
1.   Number of Shares; Designation . A total of 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company are hereby designated as Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series”). Shares of the Series (“Preferred Shares”) will be authorized pursuant to a Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) by and among the Company and the holders of the Company’s Bridge Loan debt, a copy of which will be provided to any shareholder of the Company upon request therefor.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings set forth in the Conversion Agreement.
 
2.   Rank. The Series shall, with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, rank senior and prior to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), and any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Company and are designated in the amendment to the Articles  of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking junior to the Preferred Shares. Any shares of the Company’s stock which are junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company are hereinafter referred to as “Junior Liquidation Shares.”
 
3.   Dividends .
 
(a) Cumulative Preferred Dividend.   Holders of the Preferred Shares ("Shareholders") will be entitled to receive an annual dividend when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 8% per annum .  The 8% dividend will be declared, if any, on March 31, and paid annually on May 15.  The initial 8% dividend, if declared, payment will accrue from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013, declared on March 31, 2014 and first payable on May 15, 2014.  Thereafter, the annual 8% dividend will accrue from January 1 to December 31.  In the event that an 8% dividend is not paid when due, the amount of such unpaid 8% dividend will accumulate and compound at 8% per annum until paid.
 
(b)   Cumulative 10% Net Profits Participation Dividend     Shareholders will be entitled to receive an annual cumulative dividend, when and if declared, on a pro rata basis, equal to 10%, on a fully subscribed basis, of the Annual Net Profit (“Profit Participation”).  Annual Net Profit is defined as the Company’s earnings (as defined by U.S. GAAP) less interest payments and dividend payments and estimated income taxes owed. The Profit Participation will be determined annually after the Company’s financial results are audited and, when and if declared, will be announced on March 31 and paid on May 15.  The Profit Participation will first be determined and paid for the 2013 fiscal year, and, therefore, will first be payable on May 15, 2014.  The Profit Participation payable to the holder of each Preferred Share outstanding on the respective payment date is determined by multiplying the Annual Net Profit by .10 and dividing that product by 3,794,000.
 
4.   Liquidation .  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for each Preferred Shares held by them equal to $1.00 (subject to adjustments)(the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the Preferred Shares are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the entire Liquidation Preference  then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Shares in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
 
5.   Conversion .
 
(a)   Right to Convert .  Each Shareholder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, one  Preferred Share held by such Shareholder, in multiples of at least ten thousand shares, for one share of common stock of the Company(the “Conversion Rate”) as is determined in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Shares (a “Conversion”).  The Conversion Price shall be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as defined herein.  Any common stock of the Company received under a conversion of the Preferred Shares are “Conversion Shares.”
 
(b)   Conversion Notice .  In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Shareholder shall send to the Company by mail or electronic or facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., Mountain Time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or federal bank holiday) on which such Shareholder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I   to the Conversion Agreement (a “Conversion Notice”), and stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted.,  the Shareholder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Company.  The Company shall provide a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in ”Adjustments” below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments made to the Conversion Price.  The Company shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Shareholder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Shareholder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice.  Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Shareholder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates.
 
(c)   Number of Conversion Shares .  The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Company to a Shareholder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by dividing (i) the number of Preferred Shares offered for Conversion by one (1); provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and shares of the Company  common stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of the Company  common stock then authorized to be delivered by the Company, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of the common stock of the Company authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Company will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice.
 
(d)   Delivery of Conversion Shares .  The Company shall, no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Shareholder by mail, or facsimile or electronic transmission, and the date on which the Company receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such third Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Shareholder the proper number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above.
 
(e)   Adjustments.   The Conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(i)            Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Company Common Stock .  In the event the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock shall be subdivided by stock split, stock dividends or otherwise, into a greater number of shares of the Company Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of the Company Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Shares shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares.  In the event the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of the Company Common Stock, the Conversion rate then in effect with respect to  the Preferred Shares shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of the Company Common Stock issuable on conversion of any of the Preferred Shares shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
 
(ii)            Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution .  If the Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or into any other securities or property, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, combination of shares, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), each of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of the Company Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Shares shall have been entitled to upon such transaction.  The provisions of this section on Adjustments shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, combinations of shares, recapitalizations, consolidations, business combinations or other similar transactions.
 
(iii)            Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to an Adjustment, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Shareholder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and the Conversion Price then in effect.  The Company, upon the written request at any time by any Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Shareholder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion rate at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s Preferred Shares.
 
(iv)            Rounding .  All calculations under this Section 5(e) shall be made to (a) the nearest one hundredth of one cent or (b) the nearest share or (c) the nearest one hundredth of one percent, as the case may be.
 
(f)  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of the Company Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company Common Stock, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of the Company Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares .
 
6.   Status of Shares .  All Preferred Shares that are at any time converted pursuant to paragraph 5 above, and all Preferred Shares that are otherwise reacquired by the Company and subsequently canceled by the Board of Directors, shall be retired and shall not be subject to reissuance.
 
7.   Voting Rights .  The Series BL Convertible Preferred Stock does not carry any voting rights.
 
8.   Covenants.
 
(a)           Major Covenants.                                While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants, that unless it has the affirmative vote of Shareholders owning, in aggregate, not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Preferred Shares: (1) not to incur any debt other than regular trade payables arising in day-to-day operations of the Company; and (2) not to transfer or sell assets (including to an affiliate or related person or entity).  Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Major Covenant.”
 
(b)           Additional Covenants.                                           While any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company covenants: (1) to plan, operate, and manage its farmland, water rights, and produce business to optimize long-term farm yields and meet its financial, regulatory, and contractual obligations and objectives; (2) to observe all financial covenants; (3) to maintain independent books and records of its assets, liabilities, and operations; (4) to make its books and records available for inspection by any holder of the Preferred Shares (including such holder’s agent or representative) upon reasonable notice and conditions; (5) to segregate in a separate account  net revenues from operations sufficient to pay when due: (i) the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) 10% of its Annual Net Profit to pay when due  the Profit Participation; (6) to include in its annual budget the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and the Profit Participation; and (7) to place on its Board agenda proposed actions (with appropriate supporting materials) related to (i) the timely declaration and payment of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend and (ii) calculation and payment resolution for the Profit Participation; (8) to use its best efforts to list its common stock on a national securities exchange promptly following achieving listing eligibility criteria; (9) to file on a timely basis all reports, notices, audits and other documents required to maintain its compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (10) to notice, convene and conduct its annual meeting of shareholders not later than June 15 of each year; (11) to cause its independent public accounting firm to audit and issue its opinion with respect to the adequacy of the Company’s financial reports; (12)  to file a registration statement on or before July 1, 2013 with the SEC  for the resale of the following securities: (a) for the Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Preferred underlying the Conversion Shares; and (b) for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and  (13) To certify at least annually that, to the Company’s actual knowledge, the Company is not in breach of a Major Covenant, or Company Covenant.  Each of these covenants is referred to as a “Company Covenant.”
 
(c)           Events of Default.                                The following are Events of Default: (1) failure to declare and pay when due two consecutive annual installments of the Cumulative 8% Preferred Dividend; (2) the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by the Company or the approval of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy related to the Company; (3) the breach of a Major Covenant; and (4) the failure to remedy the breach of any Company Covenant within 60 days after actual notice of its breach.
 
9. Redemption .  The Preferred Shares may be redeemed at any time by the Company provided the Company gives notice of redemption of all but not less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares and the Company has on hand funds sufficient to redeem the Preferred Shares.   The redemption price will be $1.00 per share plus accrued dividends, if any.  Subject to the Shareholders’ prior conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company will redeem all Preferred Shares which remain outstanding, for cash, on a specified business day which is at least thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of redemption.  The Company has no obligation to redeem the Preferred Shares. The Company agrees that it will not redeem any Preferred Shares that would result in any Shareholder having a beneficial common share ownership of the Company in excess of 9.9% (nine point nine percent).
 
10.   No Preemptive Rights .  No Shareholder of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled as of right to subscribe for, purchase, or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class whether now or hereafter authorized, or of bonds, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible in to or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all such new or additional shares of any class, or bonds, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for shares, may be issued and disposed of by the Board of Directors on such terms as for such consideration (to the extent permitted by law), and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors in their absolute discretion may deem advisable.
 
11. Registrar .  The Company will act as the Registrar for the Preferred Shares which will be transferable (i) only to other qualified investors, (ii) subject to any restrictions imposed by state and federal securities regulations, and (iii) solely through entry by the Company in a registration book maintained for that purpose.

Section 1 .                       Definitions .
 
(a)           “National Exchange” shall mean NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Capital Market, NYSE MKT or the New York Stock Exchange, or equivalent.
 
Section 2.                       Exercise .
 
(a)            Time and Manner of Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Expiration Date by delivery to the Company at its principal executive offices as set forth above of a duly executed original, electronic or facsimile of the Notice of Exercise, a form of which is annexed hereto, together with the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Shares and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Notice.  The Holder, and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Shares hereunder, the number of Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
(b)            Mechanics of Exercise .
 
(i)   Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Certificates for Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “ Transfer Agent ”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Shares to or resale of the Shares by the Holder or if the Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is fifteen (15) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Purchase Price as set forth above (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).  The Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Purchase Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 1(b)(v) below, prior to the issuance of such Shares, having been paid.

(ii)   Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii)   No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Purchase Price or round up to the next whole share.

(iv)   Legends .  Until the earlier of (i) the date on which a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) covering the issuance and sale or the resale of the Shares is declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) and (ii) subject to the requirements of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the date that is one year after the date the Shares were issued, any certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (“THE ACT”) AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY.
 

(v)   Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of certificates for Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

(vi)   Registration Rights .  On or before July 1, 2013, the Company shall file a registration statement with the SEC for the purpose of registering for resale the common stock underlying the Warrants.

(vii)   Failure to Deliver Certificates .  If, in the case of any Notice of Exercise, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any Warrant certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Exercise.

(viii)   Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages .  The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver the Shares upon conversion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder, or any breach or alleged breach by Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action that the Company may have against such Holder.  In the event a Holder shall elect to convert this Warrant into all or any portion of the Shares, the Company may not refuse exercise based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining exercise of all or part of this Warrant of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 100% of the payment to be provided by the Holder to the Company pursuant to such Notice of Exercise or if Shares are issued by means of a cashless exercise, as if payment would have be made by the Holder, to purchase the Shares, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation (including, but not limited to, through any and all appeals process), of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment.  In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue the Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed exercise. If the Company fails to deliver to a Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section 2 on the Warrant Share Delivery Date applicable to such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $10,000 provided or to be provided by the Holder, or if Shares are issued by means of a cashless exercise, as if payment would have be made by the Holder to purchase Shares, $100 per trading day (increasing to $200 per trading day on the second (2nd) trading day after such damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates (which must be without restrictive legend if the Shares are registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144), are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other section hereof or under applicable law.

Section 3 .                       Certain Adjustments .
 
(a)            Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.   If the Company, at any time after the date hereof: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Purchase Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Purchase Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.

(b)            Subsequent Rights Offerings .  If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the closing price of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, then, the Purchase Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such closing price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

(c)            Pro Rata Distributions .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase  Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the closing price of the Common Stock determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such closing price of the Common Stock on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(d)           Notice to Holder.

i.            Adjustment to Purchase Price.   Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Purchase Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii.            Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder.   If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; (B) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (C) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at the last address as it shall appear upon the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent Holder would not otherwise be entitled to exercise this Warrant, the Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

iii.            Fundamental Transaction.   If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another person whereby such other person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”).  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant for the Alternate Consideration.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
 
 
Section 4.                       Call Provision .
 
The Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem any or all of the outstanding and unexercised Warrants upon giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder (the “Redemption Notice”) for $0.001 per Warrant; provided, however, no Redemption Notice may be delivered by the Company unless all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(i)   The Common Stock shall be traded on a National Exchange; and

(ii)   the closing or last sale price of a share of Common Stock on the principal market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded is equal to or above $4.00 for 20 consecutive trading days and during such period the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock on the National Exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded exceeds 100,000 shares; and

(iii)   the Company has filed a registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the issuance and sale or the resale of the Shares and such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC and remains effective during the 20 consecutive trading day period referenced in (ii) above and through the date of redemption.

 
The Holder may exercise all or a portion of this Warrant prior to the date set forth in the Redemption Notice as the redemption date.
 
Section 5.                       Transfer of Warrant .
(a)   Transferability .  This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

(b)   New Warrants .  This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.  All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

(c)   Warrant Register .    The Company, or assigns, shall maintain the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time (the “ Warrant Register ”).  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 6 .                      Miscellaneous .
(a)   No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise .  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.

(b)   Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant .  The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

(c)   Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc .  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

(d)   Authorized Shares .  The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the National Exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

(e)   Jurisdiction .  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(f)   Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

(g)   Non-waiver .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

(h)   Notices .  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement .

(i)   Limitation of Liability .  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(j)   Remedies .  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(k)   Successors and Assigns .  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Shares.

(l)   Amendment .  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(m)   Severability .  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(n)   Headings .  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
