NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Overview of the Company:
Spur Ranch, Inc. “The Company” (formerly New Green Technologies, Inc) is a development stage company that was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on December 31, 1996. The Company is currently undergoing a major shift in its business focus. The Company, which is currently a developer of technology and devices for green energy, bio-fuel, and energy products has not been profitable since inception. Due to significant historical losses, low energy prices and a limited market for the Company’s offerings, the Company intends to diversify its business into other areas which can provide the opportunity to create near term revenue. The Board of Directors and majority of the Company’s shareholders voted on July 23, 2010 to bring in new Management and new Board Members to adopt a new business strategy and reorganize the Company around this strategy. Pursuant to a new business plan adopted by the Company on August 1, 2010, the Company aims to do the following:
| A) | Evaluate the energy and green energy technology portfolio and business offerings to determine an appropriate operating strategy. This may include continued investment and development into the processes, technologies, devices or sales channels or it may include the divestiture, sale or liquidation of the alternative energy assets and business. The Company will continue to operate this line of business until a decision has been made by the Board of Directors. |
| B) | Diversify and expand the business into the area of the acquisition and development of real estate, and real estate related to equestrian and polo communities as well as polo and equestrian venues, events and media. It is the intent of the Company to develop these properties on an international scale, using alternative energy technologies to create sustainable residential and leisure environments related to the equestrian marketplace. The Company plans to earn money from developing unique and affordable polo-themed real estate communities, equestrian facilities and operations, polo “reality based” television programming, polo tournaments and match competitions, and merchandising. It is the goal of the Company to bring polo to the broader market. The Company has changed its name to Spur Ranch, Inc. to reflect this new business focus. |
Since inception we have incurred significant losses and have an accumulated deficit in our retained earnings of $19,544,884. As of September 30, 2010 we have $0.00 in cash and cash equivalents. We are undergoing a shift in our business strategy and currently do not have sufficient funds to execute this strategy. We will need to raise additional funds and we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available at terms satisfactory to us or at all. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect this uncertainty.
On October 21, 2010 we changed our trading symbol to “SPRA” which more closely reflects our core business and new company name. We are currently publicly traded on the OTC bulletin board.
Brief Corporate History:
The Company was originally established as Tel-Voice Communications, Inc. ("Tel-Voice") which incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 31, 1996. On June 30, 2000, Tel-Voice acquired Smartdotcom, Inc. ("SDC") in a transaction accounted for as a reverse merger whereby the Company retained the name Tel-Voice Communications, Inc. SDC had developed a technology that provided private electronic networks for labor unions and integrated communities. SDC’s business included subscribers which were members of the unions and communities to which SDC intended to provide the hardware, software and technical support required to setup and maintain the networks. However, SDC was never able to grow due to lack of capital and sustained losses.
In December 2002, the Company abandoned the business plan associated with the SDC business. On December 16, 2002, the Company closed a stock for debt exchange with our creditors effective on December 11, 2002 whereby all of the outstanding debt was converted to unregistered common stock at a conversion rate of one (1) share of common stock for each $0.45 of debt. On January 10, 2003, a majority of the shareholders approved (i) a reverse split of 28.9 shares of the old common stock for 1 share of new common stock effective January 13, 2003, (ii) the acquisition of a private entity name Home Services, Inc. and (iii) a name change to Home Services International, Inc.
Home Services International, Inc. (“HSVI”) intended to act as a holding company for service businesses related to home building and home buying that wanted to expand into national markets. HSVI intended to acquire, establish joint ventures and develop such businesses.
HSVI was presented with a business plan for a unique alternative energy technology by the management of Internal Command International (“ICI”), a Florida based private entity. HSVI believed that the Energy Commander technology for low impact hydro power production presented a unique opportunity. HSVI believed that ICI’s technology might fulfill a unique niche in the energy market. As a result, HSVI sought to acquire the technology and related expertise through the reverse merger process.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
On January 2, 2004, the Company entered into a merger agreement with ICI. HSVI (the Company) issued 27,500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred stock to the shareholders of ICI. In connection with this acquisition, the Company’s name was changed to Internal Hydro International, Inc. (“IHDR”). On February 4, 2004, the Company’s domicile was changed to Florida.
As a result of the merger transaction with HSVI, the former Company stockholders obtained control of HSVI's voting stock. For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was a reverse acquisition of HSVI, under the purchase method of accounting, and was treated as a recapitalization with the Company as the acquirer.
On February 20, 2007, we changed our name to Renewable Energy Resources, Inc.
On May 27, 2008 the Company changed its name to New Green Technologies, Inc. ("New Green" or “NGRN”), to reflect the Company’s broader range of business endeavors to include the development of energy, green energy and bio-fuel projects.
On July 23, 2010 the Company’s Board of Directors and a majority of its shareholders voted to change its name to “Spur Ranch” and subsequently filed an application with FINRA to change its trading symbol. On October 21, 2010 our trading symbol was changed to “SPRA.”
Recent Events:
In August of 2010, the Company adopted a new business plan whereby the Company intends to diversify its business into other areas which, in its belief, can provide the opportunity to create near term revenue.
Pursuant to a this newly adopted business plan, the Company will add to its operational strategy the acquisition and development of real estate, and real estate related to equestrian communities as well as equestrian and polo related media, events, technologies, and game development. It is the intent of the Company to develop these properties internationally, using alternative energy technologies to create sustainable residential and leisure environments related to the equestrian marketplace. The Company intends to establish these businesses under the brand “Spur Ranch” to which it is changing its name to reflect this new business.
On July 23, 2010 the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Mr. George Ring as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and nominated Mr. Andrew Stack (age 39) to this position. Mr. Jeremy G. Stobie (age 34) assumed the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). There were no material disagreements or matters between any of the Parties.
On July 23, 2010 the Board of Directors and a Majority of the Company’s shareholders approved a 1:3,500 reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares which was effective on August 25, 2010. This reduced the total outstanding common shares immediately after the split from 147,756,000 to 42,216. The Company’s authorized shares of 200,000,000 and par value of .001 was not affected by the reverse split.
On August 26, 2010 the Company entered into an asset contribution agreement with William Andrew Stack, Jeremy Stobie and John Stanton to acquire all of the intellectual and actual property related to the “Spur Ranch” equestrian line of business. These assets included: Spur Ranch Logo, Spur Ranch Enterprise Development Plan, Spur Ranch Development Conceptuals, Spur Ranch Lakecliff Plans and Platting, Architectural Renderings, Spur Ranch Opportunities, Inside Polo Trailers and Footage, Polo Photographs and Media (collectively the “Spur Intangibles”). Management believes that the cost basis for this property was in excess of $300,000, however, due to the special use of some of the intangibles, Management elected to record the total value as $100,000. 1,000,000 shares of the total issuance of 11,100,000 were recorde d for financial statement purposes in exchange for the contribution of the Spur Intangibles, which reflected a transaction price of $0.10 per share.
For financial statement purposes Management recorded the issuance of 10,100,000 shares to the parties as deferred compensation and deferred Director’s fees. The shares were granted to the parties, but are subject to substantial forfeiture in the event that the parties (individually) resign from the Company, or are terminated from employment and from their board duties as the result of a vote of the Board of Directors within a 36 month period.
In the event of termination or separation the employee or director may purchase his shares for $0.10 or tender them back to the Company (“the Termination Forfeiture”). This Termination Forfeiture is effective for a 48 month period from the date of issuance, and is released beginning the 12th month from issuance, ratably over a 36 month period. Management will record an expense to compensation over this three year period, ratably over expiration of the Termination Forfeiture period.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Deferred compensation liability of $1,010,000 was recorded on the balance sheet which shall be amortized over the expiration of the Termination Forfeiture period, with a corresponding expense on the income statement, beginning on the 13th month from the date of issuance. The effective share price for this deferred compensation issuance was $0.10 which management believes reflects the value of the Company’s restricted stock on the date of issue which is supported by current trading activity.
As a result of the two transactions above the following shares of restricted common stock was issued to the following persons:
| | Restricted Common | |
| | Shares Issued | |
Mr. Andrew Stack | | | 5,600,000 | |
Mr. John Stanton | | | 2,750,000 | |

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20 09. The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, and deposits approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. As a basis for determining the fair value of certain of our assets and liabilities, we established a three tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level I): observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level III) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires us to develop our own assumptions. This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Our financial assets that are measured at fair valu e on a recurring basis consist only of cash equivalents.
As of September 30, 2010 the Company has $50,000 of available for sale marketable securities, based the exchange price for these shares ($0.10 per share of Spur Ranch Common Stock). These securities are freely traded but the issuer is subject to a DTC chill which means that the securities cannot be currently deposited into the DTC system, and therefore have been recorded at a significant discount. The quoted price of these securities is $500,000. Management expects that this DTC chill may be resolved inthe next 12 months, and at that time that they are eligible for DTC transfer, the Company will begin to sell these securities to fund operations, development, and or acquisitions of real property. This discount more fairly reflec ts the exchange value of the Spur Ranch restricted common stock at $0.10 per share.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
As of September 30, 2010 the Company only has no cash or cash equivalents.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company has faced and continues to face liquidity challenges resulting mainly from the lack of revenue and considerable operating losses. At present, the Company does not have access to an existing credit facility or working capital financing for its operations. The Company’s continued liquidity challenges were one of several significant factors leading to the decision to bring in new management and adopt a new business plan this year.
The Company currently has insufficient cash to meet its short and long term obligations and will require financing. The Company’s marketable securities cannot be currently deposited into the DTC system and sales of these securities may not be relied upon in the short term. Unless the Company is able to secure additional financing or investment it will not be able to meet its known or reasonably likely future cash requirements it will not be able to continue to operate and may result in a total loss to its Shareholders. The Company is currently seeking capital to launch its new business plan, however, the ability of the Company
to secure such capital is not certain.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances may exceed FDIC insured levels at various times during the year. The Company has not experienced any loss in such accounts. There were no bank balances exceeding insured limits at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
The Company has no accounts receivables or notes or loans receivable as September 30, 2010.
Revenue
Revenues are recognized when services are rendered to customers, or when products have been sold to customers, and when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exists and collectability is reasonably assured.
There was no revenue generated during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for based on the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes”. Deferred income taxes, if any, are recorded, using enacted tax rates expected to apply, to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end.
Loss Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share," which requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). This calculation has been adjusted for the 1:3,500 reverse stock split that occurred on August 25, 2010. The computation of Basic EPS is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common sharesduring the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

September 30, 2010
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. A total of 600 warrants to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding and excluded from the loss per share calculation at September 30, 2010.
Comprehensive Income or Loss
Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Through September 30, 2010, there are no components of comprehensive loss which are not included in net loss; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive loss has not been presented. Comprehensive loss for three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $73,118and $1,330,049 respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company is subject to the provisions of ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” which prescribes the recognition of compensation expense based on the fair value of options on the grant date. ASC 718 allows companies to continue applying APB 25 if certain pro forma disclosures are made assuming hypothetical fair value method, for which the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For non-employee stock based compensation, the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with ASC 718 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant unless a contract states otherwise. For stock-based awards the value is based on the market value for the stock on the date of grant and if the stock has restrictions as to transferability a discount is provided for lack of tradability. Stock op tion awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses the fair value based method of accounting for its stock option plans. The Company expenses stock options and other share-based payments.
The Company recognized $0. and $120,000 of stock based compensation expenses for the 3 months and 9 months ended September 30, 2010 respectively.
Stock Compensation was paid to the following officers and directors during the third quarter in the following amounts:

Jeremy Stobie, CFO, Dir. | $12,000 | $250,225 | 2,502,252 |
John Stanton, Dir. | $0 | $250,225 | 2,502,252 |
Management recorded the issuance of 10,100,000 shares to the parties as deferred compensation and deferred Director’s fees. The shares were granted to the parties, but are subject to substantial forfeiture in the event that the parties (individually) resign from the Company, or are terminated from employment and from their board duties as the result of a vote of the Board of Directors within a 36 month period.
In the event of termination or separation the employee or director may purchase his shares for $0.10 or tender them back to the Company (“the Termination Forfeiture”). This Termination Forfeiture is effective for a 48 month period from the date of issuance, and is released beginning the 12th month from issuance, ratably over a 36 month period. Management will record an expense to compensation over this three year period, ratably over expiration of the Termination Forfeiture period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to the fair value measurements and disclosure which requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level I and Level II fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using Level III inputs, a reporting entity will be required to disclose information about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements on a gross rather than on a net basis. The updated guidance will also require fair value disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring Level II and Level III fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective fo r interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures regarding the reconciliation of Level III fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this updated guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which provides guidance on the criteria to be followed in recognizing revenue under the milestone method. The milestone method of recognition allows a vendor who is involved with the provision of deliverable to recognize the full amount of a milestone payment upon achievement, if, at the inception of the revenue arrangement, the milestone is determined to be substantive as defined in the standard. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and interim period within those fiscal years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
Since its inception, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has been dependent on existing stockholders and new investors to provide the cash resources to sustain its operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported net losses of $73,118 and $1,330,049, respectively.
The Company’s long-term viability as a going concern is dependent on certain key factors, as follows:
· | The Company’s ability to obtain adequate sources of outside financing to support near term operations and to allow the Company to continue forward with current strategic plans. |
| |
· | The Company’s ability to ultimately achieve revenue, adequate profitability and cash flows to sustain continuing operations. |
These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern unless additional capital is secured. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 7 – INTANGIBLES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT
We evaluate our long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists if the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the estimates of future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. Should impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s estimated fair value
As a result of continuing challenges in the deployment and sale of the Company’s technologies as well as a new business focus by the Company’s Management and Board of Directors, the Company reviewed its inputs used to determine the fair value of several of its long-lived intangibles.
Accordingly, the Company evaluated the ongoing value CAVD Technology, BORS/Plasma Technology and New Green Technologies. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that long lived assets with a carrying amount of $957,667 were no longer recoverable and were in fact impaired. The Company reduced the carrying value of these assets to fair value, a total of $4, and recorded a corresponding impairment charge of $957,663 for the period ending June 30, 2010. Fair value was based on an analysis of expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by the market participants, discounted at the risk free rate of interest.
Balances as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

NOTE 10 – LEGAL
On April 23, 2008 the Company received notice of a lawsuit which was filed in the State of Alabama against the Company and several other defendants. The Plaintiff in the case is GA Energy LLC (GA Energy). et al v. Earthfirst Technologies, Inc et al; CV2008-900053. GA Energy is seeking the return of a $200,000 partial payment made for technology. On June 6, 2008, the Company sent a Demand Letter for $150,000, the balance of the monies owed under the contract. On July 14, 2008, the Company filed suit in Florida under the same contract seeking performance by GA Energy LLC. The Company filed this lawsuit in Hillsborough against GA Energy for failing to respond to a June 6, 2008 demand letter for payment of $150,000 as described in a 2006 technology contract. Management believes the Company will be succ essful in it pursuit of GA Energy LLC. On February 18, 2009 an Order was entered in the Circuit Court of Morgan County, Alabama to dismiss the suit on the basis of improper venue. The dismissal was without prejudice. If the suit is refilled in the proper venue and the Company were to lose this litigation it would have a material and adverse affect on its financial condition to include the potential insolvency of the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview of the Company:
Spur Ranch, Inc. “The Company” (formerly New Green Technologies, Inc) is a development stage company that was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on December 31, 1996. The Company is currently undergoing a major shift in its business focus. The Company which is currently a developer of technology and devices for green energy, bio-fuel, and energy products has not been profitable since inception. Due to significant historical losses and low energy prices and a limited market for the Company’s offerings, the Company intends to diversify its business into other areas which can provide the opportunity to create near term revenue. The Board of Directors and majority of the Company’s shareholders voted on July 23, 2010 to bring in new Management a nd new Board Members to adopt a new business strategy and reorganize the Company around this strategy. Pursuant to a new business plan adopted by the Company on August 1, 2010, the Company aims to do the following:
| A) | Evaluate the energy and green energy technology portfolio and business offerings to determine an appropriate operating strategy. This may include continued investment and development into the processes, technologies, devices or sales channels or it may include the divestiture, sale or liquidation of the alternative energy assets and business. The Company will continue to operate this line of business until a decision has been made by the Board of Directors. |
| B) | Diversify and expand the business into the area of the acquisition and development of real estate, and real estate related to equestrian and polo communities as well as polo and equestrian venues, events and media. It is the intent of the Company to develop these properties in an international scale, using alternative energy technologies to create sustainable residential and leisure environments related to the equestrian marketplace. The Company plans to earn money from developing unique and affordable polo-themed real estate communities, equestrian facility and operation, polo “reality based television programming, polo tournament and match competition, and merchandising. It is the goal of the Company to bring polo to the broader market. The Company has changed its name to Spur Ranch, Inc. to reflect this new business focus. |
Since inception we have incurred significant losses and have an accumulated deficit in our retained earnings of ($19,544,884). As of September 30, 2010 we haveno cash and cash equivalents. We are undergoing a shift in our business strategy and currently do not have sufficient funds to execute this strategy. We will need to raise additional funds and we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available at terms satisfactory to us or at all. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect this uncertainty.
We are a publicly traded company listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “SPRA.”
Brief Corporate History:
The Company was originally established as Tel-Voice Communications, Inc. ("Tel-Voice") which incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 31, 1996. From 1996-2000, Tel-Voice was a development stage company with no business activity. On June 30, 2000, Tel-Voice acquired Smartdotcom, Inc. ("SDC") in a transaction accounted for as a reverse merger whereby the Company retained the name Tel-Voice Communications, Inc. SDC had developed a technology that provided private electronic networks for labor unions and integrated communities. SDC’s business included subscribers which were members of the unions and communities to which SDC intended to provide the hardware, software and technical support required to setup and maintain the networks. However, SDC was never able to grow due to lack of capital and sustained losses.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - continued
In December 2002, the Company abandoned the business plan associated with the SDC business. On December 16, 2002, the Company closed a stock for debt exchange with our creditors effective on December 11, 2002 whereby all of the outstanding debt was converted to unregistered common stock at a conversion rate of one (1) share of common stock for each $0.45 of debt. On January 10, 2003, a majority of the shareholders approved (i) a reverse split of 28.9 shares of the old common stock for 1 share of new common stock effective January 13, 2003, (ii) the acquisition of a private entity name Home Services, Inc. and (iii) a name change to Home Services International, Inc.
Home Services International, Inc. (“HSVI”) intended to act as a holding company for service businesses related to home building and home buying that wanted to expand into national markets. HSVI intended to acquire, establish joint ventures and develop such businesses.
HSVI was presented with a business plan for a unique alternative energy technology by the management of Internal Command International (“ICI”), a Florida based private entity. HSVI believed that the Energy Commander technology for low impact hydro power production presented a unique opportunity. HSVI believed that ICI’s technology might fulfill a unique niche in the energy market. As a result, HSVI sought to acquire the technology and related expertise through the reverse merger process. On January 2, 2004, the Company entered into a merger agreement with ICI. HSVI (the Company) issued 27,500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred stock to the shareholders of ICI. In connection with this acquis ition, the Company’s name was changed to Internal Hydro International, Inc. (“IHDR”). On February 4, 2004, the Company’s domicile was changed to Florida.
As a result of the merger transaction with HSVI, the former Company stockholders obtained control of HSVI's voting stock. For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was a reverse acquisition of HSVI, under the purchase method of accounting, and was treated as a recapitalization with the Company as the acquirer.
On February 20, 2007, we changed our name to Renewable Energy Resources, Inc.
On May 27, 2008 the Company changed its name to New Green Technologies, Inc. ("New Green" or “NGRN”), to reflect the Company’s broader range of business endeavors to include the development of energy, green energy and bio-fuel projects.
On July 23, 2010 the Company’s Board of Directors and a majority of its shareholders voted to change its name to “Spur Ranch” and subsequently filed an application with FINRA to change its trading symbol. On October 21, 2010 our trading symbol was changed to “SPRA.”
Recent Events:
In July of 2010, the Company adopted a new business plan whereby the Company intends to diversify its business into other areas which, in its belief, can provide the opportunity to create near term revenue.
Pursuant to a this newly adopted business plan, the Company will add to its operational strategy the acquisition and development of real estate, and real estate related to equestrian communities as well as equestrian and polo related media, events, technologies, and game development. It is the intent of the Company to develop these properties internationally, using alternative energy technologies to create sustainable residential and leisure environments related to the equestrian marketplace. The Company intends to establish these businesses under the brand “Spur Ranch” to which it is changing its name to reflect this new business
On July 23, 2010 the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Mr. George Ring as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and nominated Mr. Andrew Stack (age 39) to this position. Mr. Jeremy G. Stobie (age 34) assumed the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). There were no material disagreements or matters between any of the Parties.
On July 23, 2010 the Board of Directors and a Majority of the Company’s shareholders approved a 1:3,500 reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares which was effective on August 25, 2010.
On August 26, 2010 the Company entered into an asset contribution agreement with William Andrew Stack, Jeremy Stobie and John Stanton to acquire all of the intellectual and actual property related to the “Spur Ranch” equestrian line of business. These assets included: Spur Ranch Logo, Spur Ranch Enterprise Development Plan, Spur Ranch Development Conceptuals, Spur Ranch Lakecliff Plans and Platting, Architectural Renderings, Spur Ranch Opportunities, Inside Polo Trailers and Footage, Polo Photographs and Media (collectively the “Spur Ranch Intangibles”). Management believes that the cost basis for this property was in excess of $300,000, however, due to the special use of some of the intangibles, Management elected to record the total value as $100,000. 1,000,000 shares of the total issuance of 11,100,000 were r ecorded for financial statement purposes in exchange for the contribution of the Spur Intangibles, which reflects a transaction price of $0.10 per share.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - continued
For financial statement purposes Management recorded the issuance of 10,100,000 shares to the parties as deferred compensation and deferred Director’s fees. The shares were granted to the parties, but are subject to substantial forfeiture in the event that the parties (individually) resign from the Company, or are terminated from employment and from their board duties as the result of a vote of the Board of Directors within a 36 month period.
In the event of termination or separation the employee or director may purchase his shares for $0.10 or tender them back to the Company (“the Termination Forfeiture”). This Termination Forfeiture is effective for a 48 month period from the date of issuance, and is released beginning the 12th month from issuance, ratably over a 36 month period. Management will record an expense to compensation over this three year period, ratably over expiration of the Termination Forfeiture period.
A deferred compensation liability of $1,010,000 was recorded on the balance sheet which shall be amortized over the expiration of the Termination Forfeiture period, with a corresponding expense on the income statement, beginning on the 13th month from the date of issuance. The effective share price for this deferred compensation issuance was $0.10.
As a result of the two transactions above the following shares of restricted common stock was issued to the following persons:
| | Restricted Common | |
| | Shares Issued | |
Mr. Andrew Stack | | | 5,600,000 | |
Mr. John Stanton | | | 2,750,000 | |
Mr. Jeremy G. Stobie | | | 2,750,000 | |
Total | | | 11,100,000 | |
Total Amount Recorded on Balance Sheet as long lived intangible with relation to this contribution: $100,000
Total Amount Recoded on Balance Sheet as Deferred Compensation liability: $1,010,000
Immediately after the asset contribution agreement the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock was 11,142,216.
On October 21, 2010 we changed our trading symbol to “SPRA” which more closely reflects our core business and new company name.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
On July 23, 2010 after successive periods of losses, a lack of funding and a lack of traction in the alternative energy market the Company decided to bring on new Management and adopt a new business plan. The new Management will continue to evaluate the existing technologies to determine whether or not to continue this line of business, however, the Company will shift its focus from the alternative energy market to the acquisition and development of real estate, and real estate related to equestrian and polo communities as well as polo and equestrian venues, events and media.
The Company plans to earn money from developing unique and affordable polo-themed real estate communities, equestrian facilities and operations, polo and equestrian “reality based” television programming, polo tournament and match competitions, and merchandising. It is the goal of the Company to bring polo to the broader market.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our operations during the first 7 months of 2010 as well as in 2009 concentrated on gaining new renewable energy technologies which were at or close to commercial applications, sales and revenue, as well as concentrating on moving the existing Energy Commander technology into a position where it could be commercially operable, with no or little funding from the Company.

COMPARISON OF THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
Revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $-0-.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $64,975 decreased by $95,295 compared to the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 which were $160,270. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in management related compensation and services. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $266,541 decreased by $314,694 compared to the general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, which were $581,235. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in management compensation and services.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since inception, the Company has faced and continues to face liquidity challenges resulting mainly from the lack of revenue and considerable operating losses. At present, the Company does not have access to an existing credit facility or working capital financing for its operations. The Company’s continued liquidity challenges were one of several significant factors leading to the decision to bring in new management and adopt a new business plan this year.
The Company currently has $50,000 in available for sale marketable securities, while freely traded, these securities are currently subject to a DTC chill which means that they cannot be readily deposited into street name and sold electronically. Therefore, the Company cannot rely on any sales of these securities in the near future to meet operational and developmental needs.
The Company currently has insufficient cash to meet its short and long term obligations and will require financing. Unless the Company is able to secure additional financing or investment it will not be able to meet its known or reasonably likely future cash requirements it will not be able to continue to operate and may result in a total loss to its Shareholders. The Company is currently seeking capital to launch its new business plan, however, the ability of the Company to secure such capital is not certain.
Our operating activities provided or( used )cash in the amount of $5,311 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared with ($125,512) for same prior period of the prior year. The cash provided by operations in 2010 of $5,311 was actually provided by a change in accrued liabilities, such cash provision was not from actual operations as the Company has no revenue. We will need additional private placements, debt financing or equity investment in order to participate fully and at the levels intended. There can be no assurance that any of the plans developed will produce cash flows sufficient to ensure long-term viability. The Company has incurred additional deficits in cash flow from operating activities. These deficits have been funded from loans from significant shareholders.
The cash provided by financing activities was $503,486 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with $121,032 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. $50,000 of the financing activities was non-cash and was recorded as the result of the share contribution of the marketable securities on September 30, 2010, which $50,000 in available for sale marketable securities were received by the Company in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company restricted common stock.
The table below presents a summary of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009:
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 | | | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 | |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | 5,311 | | | $ | (125,512 | ) |

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and these differences may be material.
RISKS and UNCERTAINTIES
Going Concern
Since its inception, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has been dependent on existing stockholders and new investors to provide the cash resources to sustain its operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported net losses of $73,118 and $1,330,049, respectively.
The Company’s long-term viability as a going concern is dependent on certain key factors, as follows:
· | The Company’s ability to obtain adequate sources of outside financing to support near term operations and to allow the Company to continue forward with current strategic plans. |
| |
· | The Company’s ability to ultimately achieve revenue, adequate profitability and cash flows to sustain continuing operations. |
These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern unless additional capital is secured. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern
Implementation of Business Strategy Dependent on Additional Financing
We must obtain financing to fund our business plan. Such outside financing must be provided from the sale of equity, third party financing, loans or convertible loans. Further, the sale of equity securities will dilute our existing stockholders' interests, and borrowings from third parties could result in our assets being pledged as collateral. There is no assurance that we can obtain financing on favorable terms. As of the date of this filing, we have not closed on any development or operational real properties in furtherance of our new business plan and do not currently have bank lines or financing to do so.
Development Stage Company
We are a development stage company with no revenues. From our inception we have incurred significant net losses and expect to continue to incur substantial and possibly increasing net losses due to the restructuring of our business plan. Our operating losses have had, and will continue to have an adverse impact on our working capital, total assets and shareholder’s equity. There is no assurance that our activities will be profitable or will ever generate profits or cash flows. The likelihood of our success must also be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and all of the inherent risks frequently encountered in the formation and operation of a relatively new business. Management believes that any investment in our Company carries a high degree of risk for total loss such inv estment.
Costs of Conducting Business
We will need funds to support our operating expenses, our development costs, research, salaries, marketing, transportation, architecture, sales costs and many other related expenses. Our new business plan will require significant amounts of capital in order for it to be successful. The ability to generate a profit depends, among other factors, on the amount of revenues from the sale of our products, services and our operating costs.
Costs of Environmental Compliance
The Company hopes to engage in the development of real estate. In many locations the development of real estate is highly regulated and controlled and in many cases there are significant environmental compliance costs associated with such development. The Company is not currently developing any property, however, such compliance costs will be a significant portion of the Company’s development budget, if and when the Company begins to develop properties. The Company believes that these costs are material to the financial condition of the Company, however, such costs are not reasonably calcu lable at the present time.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - continued
Effect of Climate Change Legislation
The Company currently has no known or identified exposure to any current or proposed climate change legislation which could negatively impact the Company's operations or require capital expenditures to become compliant. Additionally, any currently proposed or to-be-proposed-in-the-future legislation concerning climate change activities, business operations related thereto or a publicly perceived risk associated with climate change could, potentially, negatively impact the Company's efforts to identify an development and business opportunities.
Dodd-Frank Act
In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law in an effort to improve regulation of financial markets. The Company is currently evaluating the Act and cannot yet predict the impact it may have on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Contracts
There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient and suitable contracts for our business plan.
Fluctuations in Operating Results
Our revenues and results of operations may vary significantly in the future. Our revenues and results of operations are difficult to forecast and could be adversely affected by many factors, some of which are outside our control including, among others, the expected startup nature of our new business line, the determination of the continued feasibility of our existing business line, the relatively long sales and implementation cycles for real estate transactions.
There can be no assurance that our business will achieve broad market acceptance or that we will be successful in marketing our products, communities, or services.
Seasonality
We do not expect to experience material seasonal variations in revenues or operating costs at this time.
Shareholder Dilution
We will need to raise additional capital, if this investment takes the form of sales of common or preferred stock of convertible debt then our existing shareholders will be substantially diluted. In addition, because the Company currently has no funds to pay management at the current time, the Company will issue substantial shares of stock to Management in the form of compensation or in lieu of salary. Due to the low market price for the Company’s stock any issuance of this nature will create substantial dilution. As of the date of this filing, Management has not agreed to accept restricted common stock or restricted preferred stock in lieu of compensation.
The issuance of any stock can cause the market price for our common stock to decline.
Stock Price
Our common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. Since trading in our common stock began, trading has been sporadic, trading volumes have been widely variable (low or non-existent on some days and very large on others) and the market price has been very volatile. The closing price as of October 29, 2010 was $1.25 with no volume, subsequent to the financial statement date the Company’s stock began to more actively trade in the range of $0.14 to $0.10, which Management believes is a more reliable indication of the Company’s stock price. The Company does not believe that the Company’s current stock price of $1.25 is a reliable indicator of the Company’s value. The Company’ common stock currently has very little or no transaction volume and an active market for the Company’s common stoc k does not currently exist, as a result of this market environment, when the Company endeavors to facilitate current debt holders to convert their debt to equity, these transactions are generally executed at prices significantly below the stock’s quoted price. Stock compensation related to services is recorded on the Company’s financial statements at the current quoted price at the date of issue. Current quotations are not a reliable indicator of value and there is no assurance that the market price of our stock will stabilize at or near current levels.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - continued
Dependence on Key Personnel
We are an extremely small company which depends upon the knowledge and experience of our key employees and Management.
If any of our members of Management do not continue in their present positions, we may not be able to easily replace them and our business will be severely disrupted.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
For the period ended September 30, 2010, we did not engage in any off balance sheet transactions.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our market risk exposures are related to our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in highly liquid short term investments with maturities less than three months as of the date of purchase. We are exposed to market risk from changes in market prices related to our investments in marketable securities. Changes in interest rates affect the investment income we could earn on our investments and, therefore, impact our cash flows and results of operations. As of September 30, 2010, we held $500,000 in marketable securities, which price was established by market quotation. The Continued value of these securities cannot be guaranteed, and may fluctuate widely or even cease to trade and or have value.
As of September 30, 2010 our cash balances at financial institutions did not exceed the Federally insured limits.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
Disclosure Controls and Procedures – We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating these disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation our Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2010.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – On August 19, 2010 the Company formally adopted a more comprehensive internal control structure, which Management believes will provide management more comprehensive internal control over financial reporting. This structure includes the adoption of a new internal control plan which management believes will enable the company to scale the integrated framework of its internal controls as the company develops operating subsidiaries and field operations related to real estate. The Company also adopted an integrated framework of internal control review procedures to which Management is to implement.
