FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains both historical and forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect the current expectations of our management concerning future results and events. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our plans to continue the marketing, commercialization and sale of our services and planned future products and product candidates; address certain markets; and evaluate additional product candidates for subsequent sales. In some cases, these statements may be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," or "continue," or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, the outcome of an ongoing contractual dispute in connection with our accounts receivable factoring arrangement, levels of business activity, performance, or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our or our industry's results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This quarterly report, including the MD&A, contains trend analysis and other forward-looking statements. Any statements in this quarterly report that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements made herein are based on our current expectations, involve a number of risks and uncertainties and should not be considered as guarantees of future performance.
The most pressing factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in our forward looking statements materially and adversely are our lack of working capital and our need to raise approximately $1.6 million of additional capital to payoff arrearages of approximately $900,000 of payroll taxes as of March 31 2013; and the need to to establish a new accounts receivable financing arrangement.
Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include without limitation:
| · | our limited ability to repay our debt and our payroll tax and union costs arrearages and the potential adverse consequences thereof; |
| · | the outcome of our ongoing dispute with our accounts receivable factor and the outcome of any future legal proceedings that may arise out of that dispute; |
| · | our ability to continue to finance our business; |
| · | an inability to arrange debt or equity financing; |
| · | the outcome of potential disputes that could arise with labor unions; |
| · | the impact of new technologies on our services and our competition; |
| · | adverse changes in laws or rules or regulations of governmental agencies; |
| · | interruptions or cancellation of existing contracts; |
| · | impact of competitive services and pricing; |
| · | continued availability of adequately skilled labor at the current prices; |
| · | the ability of management to execute plans and motivate personnel in the execution of those plans; |
| · | the presence of competitors with greater financial resources; |
| · | our ability to maintain our current pricing model and/or decrease our cost of sales; |
| · | the adoption of new, or changes in, accounting principles; |
| · | the costs inherent with complying with new statutes and regulations applicable to public reportingcompanies, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 | |
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on our future results. The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report are made only as of the date of this quarterly report, and we do not have any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2013
(unaudited)
| 1. | Interim Financial Statements |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure required for complete financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Urban AG. Corp (the "Company") as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or any other period.
Organization
Urban Ag. (the “registrant”, “Company,” “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Urban Ag”) is the successor entity to Aquamer, Inc. (“AQUM”), a Delaware corporation, which was established in February 2000 to commercialize proprietary medical devices. In 2005 Aquamer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bellacasa Productions, Inc. (“Bellacasa”) a publicly traded company, which in 2007 distributed 100% of its AQUM shares to its shareholders, thus creating a public entity that traded as AQUM. The Company is a calendar year corporation.
From 2007 to 2010 AQUM tried unsuccessfully to commercialize its medical device business and our Board of Directors closed those operations and acquired Urban Agricultural Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“UAC”). UAC holds the exclusive rights under a license from TerraSphere, Inc. (“TerraSphere”) to use their patented farming technology in Massachusetts, and the right of first refusal to purchase exclusive licenses for New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California. Under the TerraSphere license the Company receives certain vertical farming intellectual property and know-how from TerraSphere. The license was purchased by UAC in May, 2010 for $1,000,000 with $250,000 paid at acquisition and payments totaling $750,000 due by May 1, 2011. Urban Ag was unable to make payments due under the TerraSphere License . TerraSphere extended the payment terms under the TerraSphere License through December 31, 2011.
Currently we are a company focused on a long-term strategy of pursuing the consolidation of the fragmented industry that provides outsourced services to General Contractors, Facility Managers/Owners, Architects and Engineers. This industry is focused on providing construction path services including pre-construction services, site selection and preparation, hazardous material abatement and environment remediation, electrical/data communication system integration, electrical cabling installation and design, restoration/remediation services and post occupancy services.
In pursuit of this strategy, on November 7, 2011 Urban Ag. Corp. (the “Registrant,” “Urban Ag,” or the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), with CCS Environmental World Wide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCS World Wide,” “CCS,” or the “Seller”) and the shareholders of CCS (“Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Urban Ag acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of CCS. In exchange, the Company issued to the CCS Shareholders an aggregate of 7,900,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.0001 par value and five million warrants to purchase one share of common stock of the Company per Warrant. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $3.00 per share. The Warrants become exercisable once CCS achieves $50,000,000 in revenue in a single year. The shares purchased represented 78.8% of the outstanding common stock of the Company after the closing.
Pursuant to the Agreement, CCS became the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. This transaction was recorded as a reverse merger. The results of operations from CCS Worldwide are included in the financial statements for all periods included in this quarterly report.
CCS Worldwide is a hazardous material abatement and environmental remediation company based North Reading, Massachusetts. The Company, previously based in Danvers, Massachusetts, currently acts as a Holding Company that has as its one operating subsidiary CCS Worldwide. The Office was relocated to North Andover, Massachusetts in October of 2012. CCS Worldwide generates revenue within a single operating segment which provides hazardous material abatement and environment remediation services through its four wholly owned subsidiaries - Commonwealth Contracting Services LLC; CCS Special Projects LLC; CCS Environmental, Inc.; and CCS Environmental Services, Inc., all based in Brockton, Massachusetts. For the periods covered in this annual report, our revenues consist of sales in the single operating segment providing services for hazardous material abatement and environmental remediation.
CCS Worldwide has operated its current business since 2005 generating annual revenues of between $2 million and $12 million providing services including removal of interior finishes, surfaces and fixtures; as well as the removal and proper disposition of certain asbestos-containing and lead-painted building materials and certain other regulated materials. CCS Worldwide is awarded contracts from its customers generally through a bidding process whereby contracts are typically awarded on a qualified low bidder basis. Its revenue is comprised of both union and non-union contracts.
The Company is continuing to pursue the long-term strategy of consolidation of the fragmented industry that provides outsourced services to General Contractors, Facility Managers/Owners, Architects and Engineers. This industry is focused on providing construction path services including pre-construction services, site selection and preparation, hazardous material abatement and environment remediation, electrical/data communication system integration, electrical cabling installation and design, restoration/remediation services and post occupancy services. The Company has been successful in acquiring a Group of Companies through the Green Wire Enterprise, Inc. acquisition. On February 1, 2013, Urban Ag. Corp. (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of 100% of Green Wire Enterprises, Inc.(“Green Wire”) an Oklahoma corporation engaged in the business of infrastructure deployment, integration and maintenance for telecommunications systems providers. Green Wire also owns 100% of Terra Asset Management, Inc. and B & R Telephone LLC. and 49% of Green Wire, Inc, these companies are also engaged in providing a variety of services to the telecommunications industry.
Green Wire, Inc. is a certified, minority-owned small business offering Telecommunication Solutions and Equipment, Structural Cabling, Wireless Solutions, Microwave Tower, Fiber and Antenna Installation, and Alternative Energy Solutions complemented by name brands and superior products and devices. The business model of this subsidiary is centered on providing cost saving solutions and resources for city, county, school and state governments and associated agencies providing communication and data systems that create a competitive advantage by delivering efficiency, productivity, and cost savings with seamless equipment installations and secure operations incorporating internet, IT & data integration, GPS and monitoring. The San Antonio operations also resell Fiber to counties, municipalities and corporations/businesses.
Terra Asset Management Inc.’s operations located in Broken Arrow Oklahoma is an established network asset management company with the capacity to build out state of the art networks using existing workforces and subcontractors, and the expertise to provide diverse services to subscriber companies. They design and build network infrastructure for the largest tech and wireless companies, such as Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, Starbucks, Southeast Financial, and Bank Plus. This operation represents half of the expected revenues of GWE.
B & R Telephone located in Corpus Christi, TX provides asset management such as human resources for specialized labor force. They also provide sales, service, and installation of telephone and paging equipment, network services, fiber optics, tower and antenna installations, as well as camera surveillance for the Corpus Christi area. Among the subsidiary’s extensive client base are 6 out of the 7 largest General Contractors in the US. Through these clients the Corpus Christi operations provide phone/ data and equipment installation, maintenance and technical services to customers such as Wal-Mart, CVS, Firestone, Radio Shack and others.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation. As a result of reverse merger accounting treatment of the CCS Worldwide acquisition, the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 include the results of operations and financial position of CCS Worldwide as well as the results of operation of Green Wire Enterprises, Inc. for the two month period beginning on February 28, 2013 through March 31, 2013 effective with the date of the acquisition. The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflect the consolidation of CCS Worldwide with the Company effective with the date of the Agreement.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. This assumption, that the Company continues to operate as a going concern, is presently in question and contingent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced substantial losses, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $11.6 million, a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $8.8 million and is in default on several financial obligations at March 31, 2013, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
Additionally, the Company’s accounts receivable financing arrangement has been terminated by the lender. Also, as of March 31, 2013, the Company has delinquent payroll taxes of approximately $900,000.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial statement presentation purposes, those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash or cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within management's expectations. The allowance method is used to account for uncollectible amounts. The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for contract adjustments was $ -0- at March 31, 2013 and $-0- at December 31, 2012.
Revenue Recognition
For financial reporting, profits on construction contracts are recognized by the Company on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimate total construction costs for each contract. This method is used because contracts in process include all materials, direct labor and subcontractor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as depreciation, motor vehicles, payroll taxes, employee benefits, small tools, insurance, etc. Selling and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the Company’s estimates of costs and revenues will change.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows: leasehold improvements—Lesser of term or useful life; machinery and equipment—5 to 15 years; furniture and fixtures—3 to 10 years; computer hardware and software 3 to 7 years. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the accounts and gains or losses are recognized in operations. The Company recorded $ 0 and $29,367 in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Valuation of Intangibles and Other Long Lived Assets
The recoverability of long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, is reviewed when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based awards are accounted for according to the provisions of FASB ASC 718. Our primary type of share-based compensation consists of stock options. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model in valuing options. The inputs for the valuation analysis of the options include the market value of the Company's common stock, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock, the exercise price of the warrants and the risk free interest rate.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes ultimately payable or recoverable based on enacted tax laws. Allowances are recorded if recovery is uncertain.
Earnings per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as outstanding options are anti-dilutive.

Impairment
Intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimable lives and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future pretax operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. Judgment is required to estimate future operating cash flows.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Organization and Backgroud
Urban Ag. Corp. (the “registrant”, “Company,” “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Urban Ag”) is the successor entity to Aquamer, Inc. (“AQUM”), a Delaware corporation, which was established in February 2000 to commercialize proprietary medical devices. In 2005 Aquamer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bellacasa Productions, Inc. (“Bellacasa”) a publicly traded company, which in 2007 distributed 100% of its AQUM shares to its shareholders, thus creating a public entity that traded as AQUM. The Company is a calendar year corporation.
Business Overview
From 2007 to 2010 AQUM tried unsuccessfully to commercialize its medical device business and our Board of Directors closed those operations and acquired Urban Agricultural Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“UAC”). UAC holds the exclusive rights under a license from TerraSphere, Inc. (“TerraSphere”) to use their patented farming technology in Massachusetts, and the right of first refusal to purchase exclusive licenses for New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California. Under the TerraSphere license the Company receives certain vertical farming intellectual property and know-how from TerraSphere. The license was purchased by UAC in May, 2010 for $1,000,000 with $250,000 paid at acquisition and payments totaling $750,000 due by May 1, 2011. Urban Ag was unable to make payments due under the TerraSphere License . TerraSphere extended the payment terms under the TerraSphere License through December 31, 2011. Effective March 31, 2012 (“Effective Date”) the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "UAC Agreement”) with Distressed Asset Acquisitions, Inc. (“DAAI”) to divest itself of all of its ownership of UAC. The UAC Agreement provides that DAAI will pay $100 and assume all liabilities as of the Effective Date for 100% of the stock in UAC.
Currently the Company is focused on a long-term strategy of pursuing the consolidation of the fragmented industry that provides outsourced services to General Contractors, Facility Managers/Owners, Architects and Engineers. This industry is focused on providing construction path services including pre-construction services, site selection and preparation, hazardous material abatement and environment remediation, electrical/data communication system integration, electrical cabling installation and design, restoration/remediation services and post occupancy services.
In pursuit of this strategy, on November 7, 2011 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), with CCS Environmental World Wide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCS World Wide,” “CCS,” or the “Seller”) and the shareholders of CCS (“Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Urban Ag acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of CCS. In exchange, the Company issued to the CCS Shareholders an aggregate of 7,900,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.0001 par value and five million warrants to purchase one share of common stock of the Company per Warrant. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $3.00 per share.
Pursuant to the Agreement, CCS became the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. This transaction was recorded as a reverse merger. The results of operations from CCS Worldwide are included for all periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
CCS Worldwide is a hazardous material abatement and environmental remediation company based in Brockton, Massachusetts. The Company, based in Danvers, Massachusetts, currently acts as a Holding Company that has as its one operating subsidiary CCS Worldwide. CCS Worldwide generates revenue within a single operating segment which provides hazardous material abatement and environment remediation services through its four wholly owned subsidiaries - Commonwealth Contracting Services LLC; CCS Special Projects LLC; CCS Environmental, Inc.; and CCS Environmental Services, Inc., all based in Brockton, Massachusetts. For the periods covered in this report, our revenues consist of sales in the single operating segment providing services for hazardous material abatement and environmental remediation.
CCS Worldwide has operated its current business since 2005 generating annual revenues of between $2 million and $12 million providing services including removal of interior finishes, surfaces and fixtures; as well as the removal and proper disposition of certain asbestos-containing and lead-painted building materials and certain other regulated materials.

Its revenue is comprised of both union and non-union contracts.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012
NET REVENUES - Net revenues for the three months ended March 31,2013 decreased by $1,597,374 or approximately 88% to $221,086 from $1,818,460 in the comparable period in 2012.
The majority of the decrease in revenue was the result of the reduction of sales in our asbestos removal service line as a result of the loss of our factoring facility with Midland American Capital in July of 2012. This decrease was partially offset by sales in the Green Wire Enterprise division acquisition which was effective on February 1, 2013.
COST OF SALES - Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $1,118,960 or approximately 92% to $96,056 from $1,214,501 in the comparable period in 2012. This decrease was a direct result of the decrease in sales resulting from the decrease in the Asbestos removal service line.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE - General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by approximately $843,123 or 73% to $308,675 from $1,151,798 in the comparable period in 2012.
The decrease in general and administrative costs consisted primarily of decreased costs associated with lower sales due to the loss of the factoring facility.
DEPRECIATION - Depreciation decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2013 by $29,367 or approximately 100% to $ 0 from $29,367 in the comparable period in 2012. The change is due to the seizure of the fixed assets resulting from the default on the Factoring Facility.
INTEREST, NET OF INTEREST INCOME - Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $92,239 or approximately 189% to $141,290 from $48,951 in the comparable period in 2012. The change in interest expense was attributed to various refinancing activities carrying different terms and rates in the 2013 period compared to the comparable period in 2012 and additional cost associated with the default on the Midland American Capital factoring facility .
OTHER INCOME – Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased to $ 0 from $607,149 for the comparable period in March 31, 2012. The other income of $607,149 related to a one time gain on the re-financing and discount recognized on the payoff of the Company’s line of credit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2013, we had approximately $44,248 in cash and total current assets of $391,977 as of the same date we had approximately $11,980,000 of current liabilities and a working capital deficit of approximately $11.6 million. Our financial condition has been materially and adversely affected by certain negative actions taken by our accounts receivable factor.
Our ability to continue our business activities as a going concern including continuation of our existing business service lines and funding our strategic growth plans will depend upon, among other things, raising capital from third parties or receiving net cash flows from our existing business operations.
The Company plans to meet its financial obligations and commitments for the next 12 months by raising additional capital in the form of debt or equity instruments. In furtherance of that goal, the Company is currently engaged in ongoing discussions with potential investors, however presentations to and discussions with those potential investors in an attempt to provide important funds to the Company have been unsuccessful to date. We are uncertain whether we will be able to obtain any financing, or if we are able to obtain financing that it will be on commercially favorable terms. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on any terms. Without these funds, we will be unable to repay our outstanding debt and other current and long-term liabilities.
To the extent we are able, if we are able, to obtain additional financing, the proceeds will be applied to pay our current liabilities and for working capital purposes.
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, dilution of the interests of existing shareholders may occur. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on our operations. Regardless of whether our assets prove to be adequate to meet our operational needs, we may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which may also result in dilution to existing shareholders.
