ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Ameri Metro, Inc. (“Ameri Metro” and the “Company”) was formed to engage primarily in high-speed rail for passenger and freight transportation, and related transportation projects. The Company initially intends to develop a Midwest high-speed rail system for passengers and freight. Currently the Company is engaged in raising capital and entering into relationships to further its planned activities. These initial planned activities are “ATFI Roadway” and “Port Trajan”, a northeast freight corridor.
Since its incorporation, the Company has developed its business plan, appointed officers and directors, engaged initial project consultants, and had meetings with certain agencies and groups related to potential future projects. Presently, the Company has not physically started any of the projects disclosed in our business plan section. However, as disclosed in the “Current Potential Projects” section, the Company has entered into active agreements with related and non-related parties. The Company will start these projects once capital is raised from the Registration Statement. The Company’s business model and proceeds raised from the Registration Statement will allow the Company to begin the ATFI Roadway and Port Trajan project as well as other current potential projects.
The Company Founder, Shah Mathias, has organized and established three related non-profit corporations and is an independent consultant of a fourth non-profit (ATFI) for the purpose of funding current potential projects of the Company identified by Transportation Economics Management Systems (TEMS), TEMS, a transportation/rail/sea vessel consulting firm working for and with the Company has completed preliminary studies on behalf of the end user both public and private. The Company can introduce related and non-related entities to the four non-profit entities for the purpose of funding projects they have.
These are the 4 Non-Profit entities with the ability to officiate Master Bond Indentures when sponsored by a state end user:
1.
Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. (ATFI)
(A Non-Related Party)
2.
Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. (HSRF)
(A Related Party)
3.
Hi Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc. (HSFP)
(A Related Party)
4.
Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority (GIF&DA)
(A Related Party)
These three non-profit related entities will play a vital role in financing. The non-profits statutes provide a vehicle to issue bonds and help secure potential infrastructure projects. The non-profit entities have the discretion to turn over the infrastructure of potential projects to the state, or the governing body after it has successfully developed and paid for the potential projects.
With the funding raised from the Registration Statement, the Company will then be able to consult the end users, related and non-related entities, and non-profits (who will sponsor bond offerings to fund the projects) and to contract with one or more of the largest construction firms in the United States who will carry out the actual construction management on the large projects we plan on building. The Company does not have the work force, nor expertise to perform the actual physical work from start to finish. However, the Company anticipates engaging the largest construction management and construction firms in the industry, such as AECOM, to meet the project’s needs. AECOM, as noted in the public record filed with the United States Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), has over thirty years of experience undertaking similar projects and produced 17 billion dollars in revenue in 2016. They operate with a capacity of 87,000 employees, and provide planning, consulting, architectural, and engineering design services to commercial and governmental clients across 7 continents. AECOM also offers construction services, including building construction and energy, infrastructure and industrial construction. In addition, they can provide program and facility management which entails maintenance, training, logistics, consulting, technical assistance, systems integration, and information technology services.
The Company anticipates these firms will want to be involved due to the scale of each project the Company has under contract, and those potential projects the Company can engage in as a result of their relationship with the non-profit entities.
The Company also believes the economic studies performed by TEMS will confirm that the cost of the projects will be supported by the usage and revenues generated by the project. This will allow the Company, and the associated construction firms contracted with, to sustain profit. The types of projects the Company is proposing to build have generally been successful in the United States over the last 200 years and will attempt to improve the way the passengers and the freight are transported around the United States.
On December 1, 2010, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Transportation & Infrastructure, Inc. (“GTI”). GTI was formed to provide development and construction consulting services for Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. "ATFI” is a non-related, non-profit company supported by the State of Alabama, to act as the exclusive entity, as set forth in House Joint Resolutions, H.J.R 459 and H.J.R. 456, to finance the development of the 357 mile Alabama Toll Road (starting on the coastline of Alabama and running northward to the boarder of Tennessee).
Pursuant to the executed agreement with ATFI, “Assignment Agreement For Construction,” GTI will act as the consultant for such a toll road, including implementation of the financing mechanism for the design, planning, engineering and related costs for its
construction, and to engage in the construction of freight transportation and related transportation projects by, contracting with some of the largest construction firms in the industry. ATFI is a non-related entity, and along with other related entity projects that are supported by the ATFI 357 mile toll road in Alabama, the Company intends to act as the conduit to bring the ATFI toll roadway to completion. The ATFI toll roadway and other related potential projects stemming from the ATFI toll roadway project, are at different stages, of a six-stage process supported by agreements and contracts.
The Company has a six stage process for potential future project opportunities:
1.
Management’s Decision to take on a project
2.
Enter into Letters of Intent, Agreements, Construction Contracts
3.
Obtain State(s) sponsorship of the project through legislative actions (where applicable)
4.
Engineering and Design Studies, Architectural Design, Feasibility Studies
5.
Raise Capital through Bond Financing and/or Company stock offerings or other borrowings
6.
Management of the physical construction as a general contractor
The Company’s current list of potential project opportunities is contained in the Business Plan Section. The common thread with all these future opportunities is that the Company has not yet started Stage 5 or Stage 6, but continues to spend time, effort, and resources to advance each current potential project. Each current potential project requires the raising of capital, which we expect to be accomplished through one or more of the non-profit entities set up by the Founder of the Company.
With the Alabama legislation Joint Resolution HJR 459 and HJR 456 signed by the Governor, the ATFI current potential project along with the ancillary projects are designed to support the sustainability and to ensure the success of the ATFI current potential project. The Company, pursuant to the construction agreements, is acting as Master General Contractor for the building of the toll road. The Company will also build ancillary projects and related transportation systems, including but not limited to rail and toll bridges, upon the successful issuance of the bond offering. The Company plans to improve port operations and cargo facilities while building a 357 mile toll road from the coast of Alabama to the southern border of the State of Tennessee.
The contracts between ATFI and the Company are in full force and effect under the House Joint Resolution HJR 459 and 456 unless new legislation is issued to rescind the current HJR 459 and HJR 456. The related and non-related party contracts are in full force and effect in association with the current potential projects.
The Company makes no guarantee we will succeed in our business plan to help the United States by improving the infrastructure and changing the way cargo and the population travel, but according to the United States Government it is a high priority to improve states’ infrastructure without taxing the American public. The Company’s business model and ATFI legislative rights that are in place stand a reasonable chance of making a difference.
As Super Cargo ships increase in size, studies show that the US ports do not have the sufficient water depth of fifty feet to berth these mega ships. The map below shows the Alabama Port which ties to the ATFI toll road have the sufficient water depth of fifty feet.
There are current studies taking place by US ports on how they will solve the problem. The new challenge to US ports stems from the Panama Canal being widened and deepened to accommodate such ships. Most US ports shown in the map below still lack the water depth to receive such ships substantiated by public reports found on the ASCE American Society of Civil Engineers website under “Report Card For America’s Infrastructure”. The Panama Canal studies below were completed by TEMS:
The Company’s first current potential project “Port Trajan” is directly connected to our current Alabama port potential project “Port De Claudius, Inc.” through the new Alabama Toll Road (ATFI) connecting to Route 81 in Knoxville Tennessee, which today is a major shipping corridor from Tennessee to Maine with South Central Pennsylvania (the location of Port Trajan) becoming one of the current distribution locations for the north east. We believe that the ports of Mobile and Baltimore, each with 50 feet of water depths, stand to be the ports used in making cargo movement to the north east corridor more efficient as the size of cargo ships continues to increase. These ports, based on studies performed by TEMS, have the ability to be deepened and the cost to do so will be offset by the economic impact they create according to studies performed to date by TEMS.
The Company’s funding plans include stock offering and non-related and related parties officiating bond offerings to fund the current potential projects identified.
The major elements of the infrastructure for the current potential projects as part of the Company’s planned activities are stated below:
Trade and Transportation Corridors
·
Development of container ports for Class C, D and E ships
·
Development of inland transportation corridors including new greenfield highways and railroads
·
Building of inland ports and multimodal transportation centers
·
Development of new urban centers along the new infrastructure
·
Development of ancillary facilities including airport (express service), distribution centers, and logistics centers.
High Speed Rail
·
Development of modern rail equipment operating at speeds exceeding 250 mph
·
Use rail to connect rural, small urban and major metropolitan areas
·
Track improvement, including replacement and upgrades, additional sidings, signal and communications systems, and grade-crossing improvements
·
Building of new greenfield routes
·
Construction or improvement of railroad grade crossings and passenger stations
·
Acquiring new train equipment including train sets and spares
Transportation Infrastructure
Development of new road systems to accommodate driverless cars and trucks, including electric cars and infrastructure to support the highway and rail systems that will be used in Trade and Transportation Corridors and the High Speed Rail Systems.
Supporting Ancillary Development
·
Development or expansion of a feeder bus system linking outlying areas to railroad stations
·
Operation of a "hub-and-spoke" passenger rail system providing service to and through one or more major hubs to locations throughout the United States
·
Provision of multi-modal connections to improve system access, hotels, retail, parking garages, sorting facilities / distribution facilities
Supporting Transportation Systems
·
Ancillary development opportunities, airports, inland ports, sea ports, toll roads and technology parks
As the US and World populations are rapidly increasing, infrastructure is becoming inadequate and dilapidated as stated on the American Society of Civil Engineers website. Government authorities are unable to keep up with preventative maintenance and replacement work because of the lack of funding. Studies have consistently shown that the development of infrastructure promotes economic growth. However, the global financial crises have sent governments into restructuring their budgets and reduced the possibility for funding new infrastructure development.
The Company’s management team has recognized the need for a solution to limit the financial burden on governments and taxpayers alike. The Company plans to use Private Public Partnerships to fund some or all of the capital requirements for the current potential project opportunities. The Company’s use of proceeds from the offering will potentially make it possible for the Company to fulfill its consulting agreements with ATFI and Related Parties to begin immediately the feasibility studies and investment grade studies needed to officiate the bond offerings, specifically for the “Port Trajan” current potential project as detailed in the “current potential project” section..
Once TEMS completes feasibility and environmental studies, it will be the Company’s goal, through the financial markets to raise capital from bond offerings.
In order to support the functionality of financial structure between the end user, whether public or private, and the non-profit, whether related or non-related, Shah Mathias created the sixteen related entities listed below of which the Company owns 25% of each via non-voting common shares, with the remaining 75% (and 100% voting control) owned by Mr. Mathias. The Company acting in its Master Consulting role will be the conduit between one or more of nine related entities who will secure by contract the project from the end user and approach the non-profits for bond offering of the project. The construction management services will be performed by one or more of the largest construction management firms in the United States by utilizing existing well-established construction firms in or near the project location to perform the physical work on each project. The Company’s consulting staffing needs are already in place and any additional needs can be met easily. Once a project is started, the consulting management team of the Company would rely heavily on the work force of some of the largest construction management firms in the country. The seventeenth related entity being HSRF Trust was created to place the bond offering revenue in trust managed by agreements with ING (now Voya).

Presently, none of these related entities recognized any revenue. These entities play a vital role in terms of becoming the entity that builds and owns the potential project while the bond debt is being paid back. The ultimate beneficial owner of the project could be one of these entities or in the case of State projects, the State would become the beneficial owner of the project built once the bond debt is retired. This business model will control cost over runs and allow for more tightly managed projects during construction and then management of the operations of the project until the debt is paid back.
In summary and for clear understanding of the process:
The State who has a project to build would be able to have the project built by sponsoring the bond offering on behalf of one of the related entities below. The related entities would build and manage the project, assume the liability of the debt and then return the project back to the State upon retirement of the bond debt. In the case of non-State projects, the related entity could be the beneficial owner of the project at the end of the bond debt retirement.

The Company anticipates the following will occur by a regional or local municipalities upon the adoption and implementation of Trade, Transportation and a High-Speed Rail Systems as part of the Company’s current potential projects. To date, the Company has not developed any rail systems.
The Company will engage TEMS to provide feasibility and investment grade studies, engage some of the largest construction management firms in the United States, and locate well-established construction contractors and manufacturers to provide cost estimates on completing the current potential projects. The Company in its Trade and Transportation corridors will use technology well known to US contractors, however, because highspeed rail travel is already inplace in much of Europe and Asia, the Company anticipates on working with European companies to furnish the highspeed rail equipment, such as locomotives and passenger cars.
The Company will furnish project proposals with supporting feasibility study, appraisals, and cost/benefit analysis prepared by TEMS. The Company will then provide those tools to a related entity or related non-profit entity so they can present such project proposals to the municipalities (state or local) as a complete and finished project. The local or regional municipality will then independently analyze and discuss the Company's proposal.
The two related non-profit entities created for Trade and Transportation and High Speed Rail projects are:
Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc.
In 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with HSRF (one of the Company's related non-profit companies) Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will be responsible for the construction of projects while the non-profit will be responsible for financing the construction and operating various high speed rail and related projects across the United States. HSRF is designed to focus on the building of train tracks and stations. Pursuant to the agreement between the Company and HSRF, the Company will act as the agent and representative of HSRF to perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct such projects by utilizing a large well-established construction management firm. The Company anticipates that having this agreement in place and by having HSRF already organized will expedite the process of commencing a project once the Company raises funds upon approval of this registration Statement. Material aspects of the agreement are presented below in the “Business Plan” section.
Hi Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc.
In 2010, the Company entered into a written agreement with HSRFP (one of the Company's related non-profit companies). The Company will be responsible for the construction of projects while the nonprofit will be responsible for financing construction and operating various high speed rail and related projects across the United States. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company was appointed as the agent and representative of HSRFP to perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct such projects by utilizing a large well-established construction management firm. HSRFP was organized to provide a vehicle to issue bonds and help secure infrastructure projects for the Company, focusing on facilities ancillary to the high speed rail, such as rail yards, rail assembly plants maintenance facilities. The Company anticipates that having this agreement in place and by having HSRF already organized will expedite the process of commencing a project once the Company raises funds upon approval of the Registration Statement. Material aspects of the agreement are presented below in the “Business Plan” section.
ING Investment Management
Each of the non-profits has entered into an investment management agreement with ING Investment Management (“ING”) whereby ING will manage any funds raised in bond offerings and provide investment advisory services. This non-binding agreement would only take effect upon the raising of revenue bonds, which to date has not occurred. ING would serve to invest, reinvest and supervise the management of any such funds raised, for any project in the future, while such funds were held in an investment account and until
use for the intended funds are needed for project purposes. The Company and the non-profits, have not commenced raising funds through any bond offerings.
Supporting Information
The United States Census Bureau predicts that the American population will reach 420 million by 2050, a trend that will overwhelm our nation’s transportation infrastructure according to the information provided on their website.
Current estimates suggest that overall freight demand will double over the next 40 years from 15 billion tons today to 30 billion tons. The number of trucks on the road is also expected to double. Already under unsustainable strain, the nation’s freight transportation infrastructure and highways will face even greater challenges as the total volume of freight increases.
Extensive infrastructure expansion, such as new ports, trade corridors and high-speed rail (HSR), is critical to help mitigate problems associated with rising fuel costs, crowded highways, and greenhouse gas emissions. Population growth and development in the U.S. have made our nation increasingly reliant on rail and highway infrastructure to transport people and freight.
Clearly, a strong, efficient freight transportation system is vital to the nation’s economy. Our nation’s already strained and outdated railways must be upgraded to handle the projected increases in freight shipping to relieve congestion on our highways. We believe that new trade corridors are needed to support the additions of new ports and infrastructure in marine shipping. New high speed rail routes will also increase connectivity between US cities to support the emerging new economy.
Business Plan
The Company, as a consultant through its Master Consulting role along with TEMS has collectively identified current potential projects worth five hundred and six billion dollars. The Company has therefore approached the related non-profits for master bond indentures for each project, to meet the need of the related and non-related end users of each current potential project.
The Company acting as a Master Consultant, and Master General Contractor through agreements with the related and non-related non-profits, and the related entities will perform construction management services and consulting services for a fee (see material aspects of agreements below). The related and non-related non-profits provide a source of capital through bond indentures upon TEMS providing investment grade studies that will confirm the potential project revenue and will support the debt on behalf of the beneficial owner of a given project.
The contractual agreements and material aspects of the agreements are presented below:
Master Agreement For Construction with the Four Non-profits
The Company is in contractual, “Master Agreement For Construction”, agreements with High Speed Rail Facilities Inc., High Speed Rail Facilities Provider Inc., Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority, Inc. and Alabama Toll Facilities Inc., all four are nonprofit entities referred to as the “Cartel” who could issue bonds on behalf of government, civilian and commercial end user projects directly, or on behalf of the affiliate entities listed below. The material aspects of the “Master Agreement For Construction” are as follows:
1.
AMERI as the agent and representative of CARTEL shall perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct the Project as agent and representative of CARTEL without limitation by taking such actions as necessary to secure the first and future phases of the financing applicable to the design, planning, engineering and related soft and hard costs of the construction of the Project and related activities.

The Company has been in joint meetings with related entities and private, public municipalities and regional governmental agency end users concerning current potential projects that have had studies completed in differing stages. The Company and related entities met with and made presentations to these parties. The scope of work associated with current potential projects consist of development relating to sea ports, airports, rail corridors, toll roads, inland ports, intermodal facilities, sewer, water and power grids, all being anticipated to be revenue producing projects. However for the Company to proceed on any of these current potential projects, a substantial amount of capital must be raised through officiating bond funding through one or more of the related and non-related non-profits. The following is a result of meetings and negotiations over the last 5 years, bringing the Company to the stage of raising capital to operate and fulfill its business objectives by filing this Registration Statement. The result of our activities over the years are the current potential projects listed below.
Brief Descriptions of Current Potential Projects
Current Potential Project (according to priority)
Throughout all Current Potential Projects, when we refer to one or more of the largest construction firms in the United States we are identifying construction management firms such as one of the largest firms in the country with 87,000 employees, seventeen billion in generated revenue for 2016 and 30 plus years of experience providing all of the services each of our current potential projects would require. For clarity and disclosure the Company has not engaged any firm at this time, but it is our business model to do so upon completed studies prior to bond offering. The Company’s current executive team along with consulting firms such as TEMS and fee based legal teams we have identified, working together with financial market underwriters who have the experience to bring the potential project to a point of starting through bond offering, is reason for the Company to call these “Current Potential Projects” There are a number of large construction management, engineering, architectural firms that we will engage to commence project build out. We will rely heavily on firms to perform, while we stay within our Master Construction and Master Consulting role. The Company is making no guarantee construction firms or construction management firms will contract with the Company, but it is our business model to utilize the well-established firms within the country to fulfill our business plan.
Current Potential Project 1
Port Trajan - Is directly affected by Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. "ATFI", which is responsible for building a new toll road. ATFI is a non-related, non-profit company with a project supported by the State of Alabama legislation and signed by Governor Bob Riley, according to House Joint Resolutions, H.J.R 459 and H.J.R. 456. The Company will be responsible for building the 357 mile toll road. Port Trajan is complimented by the ATFI roadway, and are mutually dependent of one another. The new Alabama Toll Road, when built, will provide a faster way to reach Interstate 81 in Knoxville, Tennessee. It will eventually connect to Port Trajan in Pennsylvania, which travels north to the state of Maine.
As cargo ships increase in size and the need for deeper water at US ports on the east coast increase (substantiated by TEMS studies) the Company’s projects, Port De Claudius, Inc. (PDC) (current potential project #6) and Port Ostia (current potential project #7), support the movement of cargo from the Alabama coast line by utilizing the ATFI roadway to the north east distribution center of Port Trajan. The Company will build Port Trajan immediately upon bond financing because the land under agreement is connected to the existing Norfolk and Southern intermodal port, which is presently receiving cargo containers by rail. Also, the intermodal port is located in south central Pennsylvania, connecting a population of 50 million people. The Company will generate immediate revenue from the Port Trajan build out, and permits are ready to be issued for 4.2 million square feet of warehousing. These are the reasons Port Trajan will be the first project in our current project list. The feasibility and economic impact studies will be performed by TEMS. The state will sponsor the bonds, GIF&DA will officiate the bond offering, the Company will act as the consultant to bring the entire project to a starting point, and the large construction management firm will perform all management and construction related steps.
On January 9, 2013, the Company signed a letter of intent with Jewel Real Estate 10-86 Master LLLP, a related party to purchase land to develop for future sale.
On January 13, 2013, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Port De Claudius, Inc., a related party trading as Port Trajan. The purpose being, that the Company is contracted to provide services for the build out of the Port Trajan’s five terminals, along with the sale of real property together with development rights for a fee.
The Company was unable to meet the deposit requirements of the Jewel Real Estate 10-86 Master LLLP related party contract, and so in November 2013 the deposit requirements were amended to require a cash deposit of $1,000 to hold the purchase option open for the Company until a bond offering is acquired. Future plans are to issue an excess of 10,000,000 shares of common
stock to aid funding the land purchase. As of January 31, 2016, the $1,000 deposit requirement outlined above, has been deposited on this contract.
On August 8, 2016, the Company entered into a material definitive agreement for construction (“Construction Agreement”) with Port De Claudius, Inc. (“PDC”). Pursuant to the Construction Agreement, the Company shall engage one or more firm to perform all tasks and actions required to develop and construct the Port Trajan Pennsylvania commercial properties (the “Project”). Furthermore, to secure the first and future phases of the financing applicable to the design, planning, engineering, and related soft and hard costs of the construction of the Project. Pursuant to the Construction Agreement, the specifications, designs, construction standards, subcontractor agreements, insurance requirements, hiring and employment policies and similar items shall be developed by the Company, subject to approval by PDC. The Company shall assure that the Project is constructed according to specifications and requirements imposed by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PADOT) and the Federal Highway Administration. The Company shall supervise all phases of the construction of the Project, and it shall be responsible to the PDC for all acts or omissions of its employees, subcontractors, agents, consultants and other parties under its control. The Company shall be responsible for assuring that the construction of the Project is performed in a good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with the highest standards of care for the industry.
On September 11, 2016, the Company consolidated all memorandums of understanding, letters of intent, and agreements into one agreement called the “sales agreement”. As a result of the September 11, 2016 consolidation, an agreement for the assignment of assets took place.
For Phase One (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jewel's Real Estate 10-86 Master LLLP (the “Seller”), Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority, Inc., division of Hi Speed Rail Facilities Inc. (the “Financier”), PDC, and HSRF Statutory Trust as Trustee (the "Trustee"), as dictated by the Construction Agreement, the Sale Agreement that was thereafter amended on September 13, 2016, an amendment was signed for the closing date of the transaction to October 14, 2016. Pursuant to the “Sale Agreement”, Jewel's Real Estate 10-86 Master LLLP (the “Seller/Assignor”) to the Company (Assignee) assigned together all rights, title and interest in and to any contractual agreements to Port De Claudius, Inc. (PDC) on completion of Phase One.
The Project consists of two phases, Phase One consists of land purchase and onsite /offsite improvement. A dry closing with no funds being disbursed was originally scheduled for September 21, 2016. The dry closing was later changed by amendment to October 14, 2016, and the closing took place on that date. Phase Two is to take place on or before December 1, 2018 and consists of vertical construction of buildings and apparatuses.
The estimated cost for both Phases, is Two Billion Dollars ($2,000,000,000) at cost plus forty percent (40%), and plus two percent (2%) for the increase in inflation regardless of the cost to the Company to perform the required services. In no event will the profit to the Company from the amount paid by PDC be less than Eight Hundred Million Dollars ($800,000,000). A mobilization fee of $2,729,514 shall be due and payable by PDC to the Company upon the closing of Bond offering for Phase One. The cost of Phase One is $950,000,000 and the net Phase One revenue to the Company shall be $66,719,514. We are identifying Port Trajan as the priority project that will provide the capital to begin investment grade studies for other current potential projects. Economic and environmental studies performed by TEMS will be paid for by profits of the Company from Port Trajan. These funded studies will then lead to officiating a bond offering through one of the related non-profits on behalf of one of the related entities in the Company’s role as consultant, awarding the work to a one or more of the largest construction and construction management firms. There are currently no contractual agreements with any of these firms. However, agreements could be put in depending upon the firm’s years of experience, work force, and proven processes and systems. It is our opinion that large construction and construction management firms will welcome the opportunity to be awarded these projects.
The changing character of marine transportation means that with the opening of the Panama Canal, only three ports on the East Coast will be able to receive Class C, D, and E container vessels that require 50 feet of water. Baltimore is one of the three East Coast Ports that can accommodate such ships, and therefore has strong potential for developing a Trade and Transportation corridor that can provide inland distribution of containers(according to TEMS completed studies). A key part of the development of the Baltimore Trade and Transportation Corridor is the Port Trajan Project, which will be an important Inland Port for the Port of Baltimore.
Port Trajan Project
The Port Trajan project is a transportation project located in the Antrim Township, Greencastle, Pennsylvania on the Interstate 81 corridor and the railroad. The railroad, or "Crescent Corridor", is an existing 2,500 mile network of rail and terminals. An intermodal facility, is an existing active rail-truck facility in this corridor and the State of Pennsylvania that provided forty six million dollars of the one hundred million dollars that developed this facility. This intermodal facility is an existing facility, and Port
Trajan will be enhancing this shipping corridor by fulfilling its development objective. Port De Claudius, Inc. intends to develop 2,700 acres of land next to this corridor, which has been designated the “Port Trajan Project”. Port De Claudius, Inc. an affiliate entity, anticipates that it will construct a distribution center consisting of 5 terminals, and a rail line between the main rail tracks to the highway for the transition of shipping containers from the rail line to waiting trucks. The distribution center will provide the facility for repackaging the shipments, to be transported to the final destination by truck, by constructing over time, up to thirty million square feet of warehouse space on 2,700 acres. The 2,700 acres is part of the January 9, 2013 letter of intent with Jewel Real Estate 10-86 Master LLLP a related party. The permitting for 4.2 million square feet of warehousing to be built on part of the 2,700 acres is ready to be issued.
Port De Claudius, Inc. anticipates that such project will be completed in phases, the first of which is the purchase of an initial 345 acres at $350,000 per acre. The purchase price will include all on-site horizontal improvements, off-site improvements will be acquired at an additional $20,000,000. The land is currently owned by a related company and Port De Claudius, Inc. and has entered into a letter of intent for its purchase with the Company.
Port De Claudius, Inc. trading as Port Trajan has engaged with Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) to manage and act as port agent at Port Trajan. Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) is a global operation that directs traffic from sea and air cargo to and from the ports. They have been in business since 1875.
As part of the development of the Port of Baltimore Trade and Transportation Corridor, the development of inland ports such as Port Trajan is critical. However, since the Harrisburg-Hagerstown corridor is already a major logistics center for the Northeast USA, the development of Port Trajan can begin immediately and even before the Baltimore Trade and Transport Corridor is developed.
A Master Trust Indenture through Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority, Inc., with the cooperation of HSRF Statutory Trust, as trustee relating to, Port De Claudius, Inc., trading as Port Trajan of Pa., through revenue bonds can offer to raise $8,000,000,000 billion of revenue bonds. The Company plans to act as Consultant awarding the general contractor scope of work to an existing, well established firm as the horizontal and vertical site improvements general contractor for Port De Claudius, Inc.
The Company intends to assist to begin bond offerings relating to the project within ninety days after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement. The Company will also work with its transportation consultant, TEMS, to complete within the ninety day period, an investment grade study that will make it possible through bond rating agencies, to officiate a bond offering for this project. To date no money has exchanged hands related to this transaction. The Company’s contractual role, after any assignments of any agreements involving the entity, is still in full force and effect, related to both the “Master Agreement For Construction” and “Consulting Agreement” described above within the “Business Plan”. To clarify for purposes of this project, Port De Claudius Inc. and Port of Ostia, Inc. are related entities for this project.
The Company, after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement to raise capital, will engage contractors by paying the mobilization fees to declare the contractors in the bond offering, pay for feasibility studies and investment grade studies, bond rating agency fees and also pay for the performance bond to insure the completion of the construction to protect the bond holders.
The Company will receive compensation from the bond proceeds at bond closing to reimburse the Company for its initial capital investment into the project. The use of proceeds identified in footnote (4) of the “Use of Proceeds” section of this registration Statement, will act as the initial capital investment into the Port Trajan project. The Company will than realize revenue, to sustain its continued growth and ability to get other projects started by using its revenue as initial capital investment while always being reimbursed from the bond proceeds that follow other projects. As discussed earlier the sources of realized revenue for the Company are as follows: Construction Management fees, Consulting Fees, and twenty five percent profit sharing from each of the related entities who are responsible for contracting by agreement. The Company will oversee the well-established firm awarded the contract while they perform all scopes of work on the related entity(s) behalf per project they secure.
The Company is not in the real estate development business, it is a Super General Contractor and consultant to related and non-related party’s for a fee, and finally partner with each related entity receiving twenty five percent profit sharing per project. In this project the Company will work for Port De Claudius, Inc., an affiliate entity, and engage some or all of the other affiliate entities to act as project overseers /managers for the project, putting out for bids and awarding local, well-established national and international firms to perform each specific scope of work on the project, ensuring it is completed on time and within budget. This also includes all of the following current potential projects.

Current Potential Project 2
Alabama Toll Road-Mobile Trade and Transportation Corridor (ATFI Alabama Toll Road Facility Inc.)
The Company’s current project “Port Trajan” is directly connected to our current Alabama port project “Port De Claudius, Inc.” through the Alabama Toll Road Inc. (ATFI) project, connecting to Interstate 81 in Knoxville Tennessee Interstate 81is a major shipping corridor from Tennessee to Maine, and South Central Pennsylvania (location of Port Trajan) is now operating as one of the distribution locations for the north east. The port of Mobile and Baltimore with 50 foot water depths stand to be the ports used in making cargo movement to the north east corridor more efficient as the size of cargo ships continue to increase. These ports have the ability to be deepened and the cost to do so will be offset by the economic impact they create, according to studies performed by TEMS.
As its first step, Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. (ATFI) was created and obtained status as a nonprofit corporation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. As a nonprofit corporation, ATFI is allowed to officiate bond offerings in order to finance the cost of acquisition and construction and equipping of the toll road project, Alabama Toll Road.
In 2007, the toll road project was presented to the Alabama legislature which on June 7, 2007, adopted Act no. 2007-506 entitled "Expressing Support for the Alabama Toll Road Project". This Act stated that it recognized the need to utilize other financial resources to meet the needs of that highway and other infrastructure items such as that offered by ATFI. The Act urged approval of the bonds offered by ATFI as special revenue bonds with the project eventually vesting to the state upon retirement of the bonds. The Act further supports designating ATFI as the exclusive entity for creation and development of the toll road project. ATFI has full approval by the state of Alabama to officiate the bond offering upon the Company’s S-1 Registration Statement becoming effective.
As a second step, on September 23, 2009, Penndel Land Company (“Penndel”), a company wholly owned by Mr. Shah Mathias, entered into an agreement with ATFI by which Penndel was appointed as the agent and representative of ATFI to perform all required tasks and actions to develop and construct the toll road. This agreement was established prior to the formation of the Company.
Thirdly, on December 1, 2010, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Transportation & Infrastructure, Inc. ("GTI") in the state of Delaware to provide development and construction services for the Alabama highway project and to include securing financing for the design, planning, engineering and related costs of construction.
In December 2010, Penndel assigned its agreements with ATFI to GTI. As such the Company, through its subsidiary, GTI, has the development rights for such toll road. Under the terms of the agreement, GTI will provide development and construction services. GTI will also act as an agent and representative of ATFI who is sponsored by the state of Alabama according to House Joint Resolutions, H.J.R 459 and H.J.R. 456, to take actions necessary to secure the first and future phases of the financing applicable to the design, planning, engineering and related soft and hard costs of the construction of a toll road in the state of Alabama and related activities.
In 2010, the Company was developing this project at the time of the merger with Yellowwood. The planned toll road is designated as a 357 mile 4-lane road designed to be built from Orange Beach, Alabama to the Tennessee state line with the intent of connecting various rural sections of Alabama to Tennessee and more urban areas.
Alabama Indenture Agreement- On December 1, 2010, ATFI nonprofit entered into a Master Trust Indenture agreement with as HSRF Statutory trust as a Trustee, which has agreed to serve as the trustee for the bond offering of up to $7,000,000,000 of ATFI Revenue Bonds once it determines to effect such an offering. The Alabama Indenture indicates that the developer for the project will
be GTI. In April 2012 the Alabama Indenture was amended to reflect a Master Indenture of $20,000,000,000. The Master Agreement provides the basic terms and conditions of any bond issuance such as use of an escrow agent, rights of bond holders, sale of bonds, etc.
The Company acquired from Penndel Land Company (majority owned by Mr. Mathias) the contract rights to a construction agreement with ATFI, a non-profit company supported by the State of Alabama to act as the exclusive entity as set forth in H.J.R 459 and H.J.R. 456, as project developer for such a toll road and on which Mr. Mathias served as one of its four directors. Mr. Shah Mathias (the Founder, Head of Mergers and Acquisitions and Business Development, and non-board member of the Company) was one of the directors of ATFI and has subsequently resigned from his position.
When the Company secures financing, ATFI will effect a bond offering to purchase the land on which the toll road is to be located. The Company has envisioned long-range ideas and plans to develop currently undeveloped areas through which the planned Alabama Toll Road will traverse. These plans through its affiliates, include the development of an airport called Sarah Jewel Mathias International Airport (KSJM), sea shipping port called Port De Claudius, Inc., air cargo port called Port of Ostia and a high-speed rail line.
The Company will build seventeen hundred miles of railroad tracks in parallel with ATFI. The Company has plans, through its affiliates, to build four tracks north and south bound, two tracks for passenger services and two tracks for freight. Volkmann Railroad Builders has been engaged by the Company to construct and built the railroad. Volkmann is a thirty five year old company that has built railroads for NASA, the mining industry, oil and gas exploration and freight carriers.
In support of H.J.R. 459 and H.J.R.456 the following ancillary projects are being planned by the Company.
1.
Design built inland port called Port De Claudius, Inc.;
2.
Design built airport called Sarah Jewel Mathias International Airport (KSJM);

A recent preliminary analysis by TEMS suggested that the toll road would become part of a Mobile Trade and Transportation Corridor because of the opening of the Panama Canal, and because Mobile is one of the only two Gulf Ports that can facilitate the large container vessels that need 50 feet of water. As a result, an evaluation should be made of extending the corridor north along the west side of the Appalachian Mountains, (potential project-Appalachian Regional Commission) a region that is today served by West Coast Ports. To assist the Company in completing an investment grade study for the corridor, the following research/review team has been assembled to assess the analysis by Transportation Economics & Management Systems, Inc. (TEMS)..

The purpose of this investment grade study by TEMS is to evaluate the potential for developing the Mobile Trade and Transport Corridor, as an adjunct to Port Mobile to serve as a major container port for a hinterland corridor between the Appalachians in the east, and the Mississippi in the west, and stretching as far north as the markets of mid-America including Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The area is largely served today by West Coast Ports that rely on relatively expensive rail and truck shipments to these inland markets, but are low cost due to the large ships that can access West Coast Ports. With the opening of the Panama Canal, and the access of large ships to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mobile corridor has the potential to provide a less expensive and more effective way of serving these markets.
The reason for this is that the Port of Mobile is one of the very few ports on the gulf and the east coast of the US that can serve the very large ships (50 foot depth) that will be able to access the gulf and east coasts with the opening of the Panama Canal. Once the Port is dredged, this will reduce the Maritime costs to the Port of Mobile significantly (i.e., 50 percent) and shift the competitive balance from West Coast Ports to the Port of Mobile.
Potential Port of Mobile Hinterland with Post-Panamax Max Ships
Mobile Trade (ATFI Alabama Toll Road Facility Inc.) & Transport Corridor: Population and Required Linkage
In carrying out its initial review, TEMS has already shown there is a prima facia case for the investment. However, the review was based on an analysis using existing data and models including the Panama Canal Route Choice model and the National Ports model. Both models need updating to 2015 to reflect the post 2008 recession economy and the latest changes in the development of the Panama Canal, US Ports, and marine economics.
In addition, the preliminary study made a number of assumptions about the institutional structures that would be adopted by the Port and Railroads. In the Business Plan phase these assumptions need to be evaluated and as appropriate adjustments made to accommodate the findings of direct discussions with the key stakeholders.
Finally, the upgraded market analysis and institutional assumptions will be used to develop a more detailed implementation plan, financial and funding plan, and economic cost benefit and impact plan. The financial and funding plan will develop the cash flows for the project, and the timing and sources of funds needed to complete the project. The economic analysis will show the benefits to the communities in the Trade and Transport Corridor. The analysis will produce both the Cost Benefit Analysis required by USDOT, as well as the economic impact for the region associated with job creation, increased income, property development, and tax base enhancement. This can be used to develop community outreach in communities along the Alabama Toll Road corridor and at local and state level, to explain the costs and benefits of developing the corridor.
For this Feasibility Study, TEMS will refine the more aggregate level of analysis that was used for the preliminary study. This will include updating the trade and traffic data that derives the forecasts, working to resolve institutional issues and ensuring the practicality of the proposed implementation process.
The Company, will wait until ninety days after effectiveness of this Registration Statement before introduction of bond offerings relating to the project. The Company will also work with its transportation consultant, TEMS, to complete, within the ninety-day period, an investment grade study that will make it possible, through bond rating agencies, to officiate a bond offering for this project. To date no money has exchanged hands related to this transaction. The Company’s contractual role, after any assignments of any agreements involving any related entity, is still in full force and effect, related to both the “Master Agreement For Construction” and “Consulting Agreement” described above within the “Business Plan”. To clarify ATFI is a nonprofit non-related party to the Company and Global Transportation Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company, after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement to raise capital, will engage a large construction firm as identified earlier. The Company through use of proceeds identified in Operating Capital Reserves will pay the mobilization fees to declare the contractors in the bond offering, pay for feasibility studies and investment grade studies, bond rating agency fees and also pay for the performance bond to insure the completion of the construction to protect the bond holders.
The Company will receive compensation from the bond proceeds at bond closing to reimburse the Company for its initial capital investment into the project. The use of proceeds identified in footnote (4) of the “Use of Proceeds” section of this registration Statement, will act as the initial capital investment into the Port Trajan project. The Company will than realize revenue, to sustain its continued growth and ability to get other projects such as ATFI started, by using its revenue as initial capital investment into projects, while always being reimbursed from the bond proceeds that follow other projects. As discussed earlier the sources of realized revenue for the Company are as follows, Construction Management fees, Consulting fees and twenty five percent profit sharing from each of the related entities who are responsible for contracting by agreement with the Company to do the work on the related entity(s) behalf per projects they secure.

Current Potential Project 3
Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) -The Company along with TEMS acting as consultant for the Company have had discussions with ARC to help them over the next five years, advance current and emerging opportunities and to continue to close the gap between Appalachian communities and the nation on key socioeconomic indicators. ARC's mission is to innovate, partner, and invest to build community capacity and strengthen economic growth in Appalachia.
The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) is a regional economic development agency that represents a partnership of federal, state, and local government. Established by an act of Congress in 1965, ARC is composed of the governors of the thirteen Appalachian states and a federal co-chair, who is appointed by the President of the United States of America. Local participation is provided through multi-county local development districts. ARC invests in activities that address the five goals identified in the Commission's strategic plan:
Goal 1: Economic Opportunities
Invest in entrepreneurial and business development strategies that strengthen Appalachia's economy.
Goal 2: Ready Workforce
Increase the education, knowledge, skills, and health of residents to work and succeed in Appalachia.
Goal 3: Critical Infrastructure
Invest in critical infrastructure-especially broadband; transportation, including the Appalachian Development Highway System; and water/wastewater systems.
Goal 4: Natural and Cultural Assets
Strengthen Appalachia's community and economic development potential by leveraging the Region's natural and cultural heritage assets.
Goal 5: Leadership and Community Capacity
Build the capacity and skills of current and next-generation leaders and organizations to innovate, collaborate, and advance community and economic development.
Each year ARC provides funding for several hundred investments in the Appalachian Region, in areas such as business development, education and job training, telecommunications, infrastructure, community development, housing, and transportation.
The Company has engaged in discussion with ARC to provide $34,000,000,000 in funding through Master Bond Indentures to fund these projects that create thousands of new jobs; improve local water and sewer systems; increase school readiness; expand access to health care; assist local communities with strategic planning; and provide technical and managerial assistance to emerging businesses.
ARC investments in infrastructure have helped reduce the Region’s isolation, spur economic activity, and improve public health and safety. In order to compete in the global economy, Appalachia must continue to develop and improve the infrastructure necessary for economic development, including broadband and telecom- communications; basic infrastructure, such as water and wastewater systems; diversified energy; housing; and transportation, including the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS). ARC will also support investments in multi-modal transportation systems that strengthen connections to regional, national, and global markets.
ARC infrastructure investments will address local community needs as well as strategic, innovative approaches to economic development. ARC will provide leadership in helping communities develop long-term plans for effective development and deployment of the infrastructure needed to support economic competitiveness and quality of life. To create the greatest impact, ARC will leverage resources and bring together government agencies and the private sector to build the critical infrastructure needed to strengthen the Region’s economy, complete the Appalachian Development Highway System and construct local access roads to strengthen links between transportation networks and economic development.
Most recently a preliminary analysis by TEMS, of the Appalachian Development Highway System corridor suggested that because of the opening of the Panama Canal and because Mobile is one of the only two Gulf Ports that can facilitate the large container vessels that need 50 feet of water, the ATFI toll road would become part of a Mobile Trade and Transportation Corridor (Port Trajan) connecting to the Appalachian Development Highway System corridor. As a result, an evaluation should be made of extending the corridor north along the west side of the Appalachian Mountains, a region that is today served by West Coast Ports.
Investment in the Appalachian Development Highway System has significantly reduced the Region’s isolation and opened up opportunities for economic growth. ARC will complete the remaining portions and constructing local access roads will further connect the region to strategic regional, national, and global economic opportunities. ARC will invest in intermodal transportation planning and infrastructure that builds on the ADHS and maximizes the region’s access to domestic and international markets. In order to compete in a global economy, Appalachia must have reliable access to domestic and international markets. Connecting the ADHS to rail, waterway, and aviation routes can help link Appalachian businesses to regional, national, and international markets.
The Company in meeting with the ARC board has made available to them through Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority, Inc., $34,000,000,000 in funding to assist in meeting ARC strategic planning goals above.
A Master Trust Indenture through Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority, Inc. with cooperation of High Speed Rail Facility Inc. (HSRF) statutory trust, as trustee relating to any project forth coming out of the thirteen state region, through revenue bonds can offer to raise $34,000,000,000 to ARC and the related states, through HSR Freight Line Inc. and HSR Passenger Services Inc., related entities, for the Appalachian Regional Commission corridor projects.
The Company, will wait until ninety days after effectiveness of this Registration Statement before introduction of bond offerings relating to the project. The Company will also work with its transportation consultant, TEMS, to complete, within the ninety-day period, an investment grade study that will make it possible, through bond rating agencies, to officiate a bond offering for any project ARC would like to undertake. To date no money has exchanged hands related to this transaction. The Company’s contractual role, after any assignments of any agreements involving the entities, is still in full force and effect, related to both the “Master Agreement For Construction” and “Master Consulting Agreement” described above within the “Business Plan”. To clarify for purposes of this project, HSR Freight Line Inc. and HSR Passenger Services Inc. are the related entities & Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority, Inc. a non-profit related to the Company.
The Company, after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement to raise capital, will engage a large construction firm as identified earlier. The Company through use of proceeds identified in Operating Capital Reserves will pay the mobilization fees to declare the contractors in the bond offering, pay for feasibility studies and investment grade studies, bond rating agency fees and also pay for the performance bond to insure the completion of the construction to protect the bond holders.
The Company will receive compensation from the bond proceeds at bond closing to reimburse the Company for its initial capital investment into the project. The use of proceeds identified as Operating Capital Reserves in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this registration Statement, will act as the initial capital investment into the ARC potential project. The Company will than realize revenue, to sustain its continued growth and ability to get other potential projects started, by using its revenue as initial capital investment into projects, while always being reimbursed from the bond proceeds that follow other projects. As discussed earlier the sources of realized revenue for the Company are as follows: Master Construction Management fees, Master Consulting fees and twenty five percent profit sharing from each of the related entities.

Current Potential Project 4
Atlanta-Louisville-Birmingham-Jacksonville - The Company has received support for expansion of high speed rail, through House Resolution 948 of the Georgia House of Representatives, stating that nineteen members of this body express their support of high speed trains and encourage the creation of a high speed rail transit authority for Fulton, Carroll, and Douglas counties. The resolution specifically names the related party High Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. as the developer of high speed rail.
House Resolution 948 By: Representatives Waites of the 60th, Roberts of the 155th, Alexander of the 66th, Bruce of the 61st, and Yates of the 73rd
A RESOLUTION
Encouraging the creation of a high speed rail transit authority to operate in Fulton, Carroll, and Douglas counties; and for other purposes. WHEREAS, high speed trains are more energy efficient than cars and planes, decrease our dependence on foreign oil, and reduce air pollution that causes global warming and harms public health; and WHEREAS, at distances of less than 400 miles, high speed trains can deliver passengers downtown-to-downtown almost as fast as airplanes at a fraction of the cost, and can do so in virtually all weather; and WHEREAS, with wide seats, fax machines, places to plug in a laptop computer, and food service, high speed trains provide a convenient, productive alternative to cars and airplanes; and WHEREAS, a high speed rail network would pull together regional economies and promote intraregional business growth; and WHEREAS, Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc., is looking to expand the use of high speed trains to Fulton, Carroll, and Douglas counties with the intention of expanding service throughout Georgia and into Alabama; and WHEREAS, the creation of a high speed rail transit authority is necessary for the success of a high speed rail system in Georgia. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body express their support of high speed trains and encourage the creation of a high speed rail transit authority for Fulton, Carroll, and Douglas counties. 15 LC 39 1039 H. R. 948 - 2
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to members of the public and the press.
The travel time is estimated at four to five hours between Atlanta and Dallas, which would have the train average at least 163 miles per hour. It would travel between Atlanta and Birmingham in about 90 minutes. That type of connectivity between Atlanta and Birmingham could have game-changing effects on several industries. It would be possible to live in Alabama and enjoy its lower property values and cost of living while working in Atlanta with its higher salaries.
The Company through its consultant TEMS has estimated the cost of the project at $3,000,000,000 on behalf of Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. a non-profit entity related to the Company. Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. has the legal right to develop this corridor as a high speed rail connection between the cities. The aim would be to provide high speed frequent rail service that would provide improved mobility for people and cargo and at the same time provide an operating profit. The project would be developed as either a freestanding enterprise or a public-private partnership (PPP) with an array of public and private support for the project.
Feasibility studies completed by TEMS for the corridor are noted below:
Georgia Department of Transportation: High-Speed Rail Planning Services: Atlanta-Louisville-Birmingham-Jacksonville
TEMS provided the Operating Plans and Costs along with the financial and economic analysis for three Georgia corridors, Atlanta-Birmingham, Atlanta-Louisville, and Atlanta-Jacksonville. TEMS supported HNTB Corporation (HNTB) and Parsons
Brinckerhoff, a global engineering and professional services organization PB with the development of new alignments for both 110-mph and 220-mph steel wheel technology along with a Maglev corridor for the Birmingham-Louisville corridor. TEMS estimated operating costs considering cost drivers such as train miles, passenger miles, and fixed costs.
Once the ridership, revenue and capital costs were calculated, TEMS provided both the financial and economic analysis for each corridor and technology. TEMS completed a sensitivity analysis using high and low estimates of ridership and capital costs.
SERVICES PROVIDED: Operating Plans, Operating Costs, Financial and Economic Analysis
The purpose of this financial and economic analysis by TEMS is to evaluate the potential for developing the Atlanta-Birmingham, Atlanta-Louisville, and Atlanta-Jacksonville as an adjunct to Port Mobile to serve as a major container port for a hinterland corridor between Atlanta and the south eastern sea board markets. The area is largely served today by West Coast Ports that rely on relatively expensive rail and truck shipments to these inland markets, but are low cost due to the large ships that can access West Coast Ports. With the opening of the Panama Canal, and the access of large ships to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mobile corridor has the potential to provide a less expensive and more effective way of serving these markets.
The reason for this is that the Port of Mobile is one of the very few ports on the gulf and the east coast of the US that can serve the very large ships (50 foot depth) that will be able to access the gulf and east coast with the opening of the Panama Canal. Once the Port is dredged, this will reduce the Maritime costs to the Port of Mobile significantly (i.e., 50 percent) and shift the competitive balance from West Coast Ports to the Port of Mobile. This potential project is supported by other potential projects the Company is currently working on, specifically project no. 5 - Florida-Alabama TPO and project no. 6 - Port De Claudius, Inc. DBA Port Trajan, Atlanta Metro Area and the south east it will also be connected to intermodal ports located outside of Atlanta Georgia serviced by Port De Claudius, Inc. The Company continues to meet with economic development offices in both Morgan and Newton counties of Georgia, being well received, supporting the Company’s business model of consulting the related entities and related non-profit entities to pursue additional intermodal port projects similar to Port Trajan in their counties, respectfully.
A Master Trust Indenture through Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. a nonprofit related party with cooperation of HSRF Statutory Trust, as trustee, relating to, High Speed Rail and Ancillary Projects Revenue Bond through revenue bonds can offer to raise $20,000,000,000 through Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. direct issuer of revenue bonds. The Company, as horizontal and vertical site improvement developer for High Speed Rail and Ancillary Projects.
The Company, will wait until ninety days after effectiveness of this Registration Statement before introduction of bond offerings relating to the project. The Company will also work with its transportation consultant, TEMS, to complete, within the ninety-day period, an investment grade study that will make it possible, through bond rating agencies, to officiate a bond offering for this project. To date no money has exchanged hands related to this transaction. The Company’s contractual role, after any assignments of any agreements involving any affiliate entities, is still in full force and effect, related to both the “Master Agreement For Construction” and “Consulting Agreement” described above within the “Business Plan”. To clarify for purposes of this project, Hi Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. a nonprofit entity related to the Company will work with the state of Georgia on this project.
The Company, after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement to raise capital, will engage a large construction firm as identified earlier. The Company through use of proceeds identified in Operating Capital Reserves will pay the mobilization fees to declare the contractors in the bond offering, pay for feasibility studies and investment grade studies, bond rating agency fees, and also pay for the performance bond to ensure the completion of the construction to protect the bond holders.
The Company will receive compensation from the bond proceeds at bond closing to reimburse the Company for its initial capital investment into the project. The use of proceeds identified as Operating Capital Reserves in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this registration Statement, will act as the initial capital investment into the Atlanta-Birmingham, Atlanta-Louisville, and Atlanta-Jacksonville potential project. The Company will then realize revenue, to sustain its continued growth and ability to get other potential projects started, by using its revenue as initial capital investment into projects, while always being reimbursed from the bond proceeds that follow other projects. As discussed earlier, the sources of realized revenue for the Company are as follows: Master Construction Management fees, Master Consulting fees and twenty five percent profit sharing from each of the related entities.

Current Potential Project 5
Florida-Alabama TPO - FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION: FLORIDA HIGH-SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY-2002 REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE, TEMS evaluated the potential for implementing a high-speed rail service to connect St. Petersburg with Orlando. The future extension of the service to Miami (Phase II) was examined at a lesser level of detail. TEMS provided ridership and revenue projections, as well as operating and maintenance estimates for four different technologies and nine route alternatives. TEMS also completed the financial and economic analyses and assessment of the feasibility of the system. TEMS’ analysis served as the basis for the evaluation of high-speed rail in Florida by the state legislature and the governor.
SERVICES PROVIDED: Ridership and revenue forecasts, operations planning, financial and economic analysis.
The purpose of financial and economic analyses and assessment of the feasibility of the system by TEMS was also to evaluate the potential for developing distribution delivery systems as an adjunct to Port Mobile to serve as a major container port for a hinterland corridor between Mobile and the Florida market markets. With the opening of the Panama Canal, and the access of large ships to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mobile corridor has the potential to provide a less expensive and more effective way of serving the Florida markets.
The reason for this is that the Port of Mobile is one of the very few ports on the gulf and the east coast of the US that can serve the very large ships (50 foot depth) that will be able to access the gulf and east coasts with the opening of the Panama Canal.

Current Potential Project 7
SARAH JEWEL MATHIAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KSJM) & PORT OF OSTIA - Pursuant to the Master Constructing Agreement with KSJM International Airport, Inc., the Company will build a major new air cargo airport as part of the Mobile Trade and Transportation Corridor thereby increasing the capacity for the Southeast USA. This project will be developed with a major e-trade company like FedEx, Amazon or UPS. The e-trade market is expanding by 12-16 percent per year. It will follow the Alliance freight cargo airport development in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Sarah Jewel Mathias International Airport (KSJM) and Port of Ostia commercial airport will revolutionize logistics in the United States. The existing transportation and distribution infrastructure in the south has been identified as insufficient to meet the anticipated demand over the next several decades according to studies by TEMS. The Company, as consultant to Port De Claudius, Inc., Port Ostia , Inc. and KSJM International Airport, Inc., , has developed a plan to meet the demands of the future and to combat the existing distribution shortfalls by creating the most efficient multi-modal distribution system the world has ever seen.
The commercial airport will be located in west-central Alabama approximately half way between the Gulf of Mexico and the Tennessee border. High speed rail, freight rail and the Alabama Toll Road ATFI (current potential project no. 2) of the Company, will connect the commercial airport with the port in the south and connect to high density population centers in the north, specifically Port Trajan.
The Company has engaged Armstrong Consulting Inc. for the airport engineering and planning. Armstrong Consulting Inc. is an experienced airport planning and engineer design company. It will engineer and design according to standards from FAA AC150/5300-13 airport design and FAR PART 77.
The Company has engaged Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) to manage and act as port agent at Port Claudius and Port Of Ostia. Inchscape Shipping Services Inc. has a world of expertise and provides global strategic maritime, cargo and supply chain solutions to ship owners and operators who span all geographies, market segments, vessels and asset types. They perform 65,885 local port calls across 1,533 ports in 112 countries.
The Company has approached a major aircraft manufacturer to help launch air cargo operation at KSJM and Port of Ostia. A major aircraft manufacturer has indicated that the Company should move forward with its business plan.
The airfield component of the commercial airport has been envisioned to accommodate the next generation’s mega-sized aircraft. Many airports around the world are finding it difficult to handle the largest aircraft that are currently in service, such as the Airbus A380. Most of the existing airports around the world are constrained by physical barriers that inhibit their ability to expand to accommodate the massive size of the aircraft that operate today. This will not be an issue at KSJM. The airport will have four parallel runways measuring 18,000 feet long and 250 feet wide as well as a crosswind runway measuring 12,000 feet long and 250 feet wide. Design criteria for the taxiway system, aircraft parking areas and the runways have been planned to accommodate the new large aircraft of today as well as the next generation aircraft of tomorrow.

Current Potential Project 8
Portus De-Jewel Mexico - The Portus De- Jewel Mexico is the new premier gateway for international commerce. It is located approximately 600 miles south of the potential Yuma Arizona Intermodal Port (current potential project no. 6) along the Mexican coast line. The Portus De- Jewel Mexico encompasses 176,000 acres of land and water along 26 miles of waterfront. It will feature 40 passenger and 384 cargo terminals, including automobile, breakbulk, container, dry and liquid bulk, multi-use, and warehouse facilities that handle billions of dollars’ worth of cargo each year.
The Portus De-Jewel Mexico development plan consists of 64 shipping/receiving berths at lengths of 15,000 ft. each. The total number of ships berthed at one time would be 320 mega ships. The water depth would be constant at fifty five feet, the needed depth of water for mega cargo ships.
The Company estimates that Portus De-Jewel Mexico domestic economic impact overflow to the United States of America would be:
o
One million one hundred thousand jobs
o
$89.2 billion trade value in trade corridors of Arizona and California
o
$223 billion in U.S. trade value
o
$5.1 billion in state tax revenue
o
$21.5 billion in federal tax revenue
o
Port customers will contribute about $760 million in ancillary trade value to Arizona and California
Economic Impact: The economic impact is approximately five hundred billion dollars per year to US domestic economy. Port customers will contribute approximately $27,800,000,000 per year to the local economy as well as to US domestic economy within the Portus De-Jewel Mexico complex. The Port contributes substantially to the economy, in part, through the following activities:
Port Industries: Port industries are businesses involved in the moving and handling of maritime cargo.
Dollars: For every dollar spent by port industries - another 97 cents is generated in indirect and induced sales in the region. Each dollar of spending for port user goods and services produces about 79 cents of additional industry sales in the region.
Jobs: Accounts for approximately 32,000 direct port industry jobs (85% of which are trucking and warehousing jobs).
Port Users: The biggest contributors to the economy are the port users who use the Port to receive imports or ship exports. Export manufacturers are major port users. Other port users include local manufacturers who process imported unfinished goods.
Port Customers:
Port customers are the retail and other non-cargo businesses in the Port. They are most important to communities near the Port as a source of jobs, recreation and specialty consumer goods.
Jobs: Direct jobs associated with port customers numbered about 6,400 or roughly half of the jobs actually located in the Port. For every one of these port customer jobs, nearly 1.7 additional jobs are created elsewhere in the region.

Current Potential Project 9
HSR Technologies Inc. Manufacturing Site - In October 2014, HSR Technology, Inc. a related party and the equitable owner of four tax parcels located within West Manchester Township, York, PA, filed a request for landowner curative amendment with the local township with the intent of constructing facilities on the properties for the fabrication, assembly and welding of steel, aluminum and stainless steel assemblies with no foundry or casting operations. The use will include the fabrication and assembly of composite rebar, composite rail, bed liners and rail car assemblies received pre-prepared. The rail access is critical to the procurement of the land, as the products manufactured on site will be directly related to the Company’s purpose of creating global economic development and promoting trade by bringing people together through innovative ideas and advanced technology. HSR Technology, Inc. proposes the initial construction of a transfer and storage building with a rail siding into the building. Manufacturing and assembly buildings would be added in stages, eventually employing up to 2,800 workers.
HSR Technologies, Inc. has chosen the properties in question for industrial development after an extensive search of York County properties. The property has 449+/- acres which meets the development needs and also provides future expansion capabilities. Rail service is critical to the HSR Technologies Inc. business model, which is based on rail use. The site in question has 3,600 linear feet of rail line traversing it and provides ample areas for siding access. Access to major roadways is a critical component of any manufacturing use. The subject properties have direct access to an arterial road, West College Avenue, a state road; a collector road, Hokes Mill Road, also a state road; and three local roads, offering many potential points of access. Also, the site is within 2200 feet of PA Route 462 and the Route 30 bypass.
Global Infrastructure Finance & Development Authority, Inc. (“GIF&DA”), a non-profit entity related to the Company, with the cooperation of HSRF Statutory Trust, the trustee of HSR Technologies Inc., a related entity of the Company can raise $25,000,000,000 through the issuance of revenue bonds. The Company as Master General Contractor will act as horizontal and vertical site improvements developer for HSR Technologies, Inc.
The Company, will wait until ninety days after the Registration Statement is effective before introducing bond offerings relating to the project. The Company will also work with its transportation consultant, TEMS, to complete an investment grade study for officiating a bond offering for this project. To date, no money has exchanged hands related to this transaction. The Company’s contractual role related to both the “Master Agreement For Construction” and “Master Consulting Agreement” described above within the “Business Plan” is still in full force and effect after assignments of agreements involving related entities, if any.
The four manufacturing plants that will commence operations on this site after site build out are as follows:
HIGHWAY COMPOSITE REBAR - The Company has the right to use the new rebar product that can be used in its development of highways and rail route structures. Marshalls Composite Technologies LLC (MCT) has been engaged to manufacture the composite rebar, through HSR Technologies Inc. for the Company. HSR Technologies, Inc. would manufacture the rebar for use in projects like the Alabama Toll Road, and the Texas Trade Corridor, and Yuma Trade Corridor for the Company.
MCT is the original developer of the composite rebar technology. HSR Technologies Inc. will also sell the rebar to others for commercial use. Marshalls Composite Technologies LLC (MCT) offers a plant set up and licence agreement to manufacture the rebar and a contract for their technology to manufacture composite Re-bar (C RB).
U.S. Patent Numbers: 5,702,816; 5,763,042; 5,851,468; 5,876,553; 6,485,660 B1; and 6,493,914 B2
MCT is the only USA composite C-Rebar company that is federally certified to meet all federal specs for use in any government funded projects. Congress gave final approval of a $109-billion transportation funding bill. Included in the compromise legislation is a provision that calls for the use of total life-cycle cost analysis as part of the contract-awarding process for new federal projects. The result could be billions of dollars in new business for the composites industry. The fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites industry has long advocated for the U.S. Congress to require the states to employ a life-cycle cost assessment when issuing contracts for infrastructure construction.
As a practical matter, such a provision will save money because new infrastructure construction would take into account both the cost of installation and long-term upkeep, rather than awarding a contract solely on the basis of lowest initial cost. According to the new bill, the engineering analysis used by the State Departments of Transportation for awarding construction contracts for highway bridge projects, “shall be evaluated by the State ... on engineering and economic bases, taking into consideration acceptable designs for bridges ... and ... using an analysis of life-cycle costs and duration of project construction." This change paves the way for the use of composites and other high-performance materials in major infrastructure projects.
"These life-cycle cost analysis requirements should push the states toward the use of longer-life and lower-maintenance-cost designs, including projects that employ non-rusting and light-weight components such as Composite C- REBAR, girders, and deck systems," says the Senior Director of Government Affairs at the American Composites Manufacturers Association, John Schweitzer. "There are over 600,000 highway bridges in the U.S., making this a very large potential market for FRP composite products." For more information about the benefits of life Dee-cycle cost assessment read this white paper by transportation policy expert and three decade veteran of the Congressional Research Service, John W. Fischer.
In February 2011, the Company issued an offer letter to HSR Technologies Inc. for purchase of future rebar products for cash of $4,750,000. The Company is also engaged in development of other transportation potential projects, specifically the development of a toll road in the State of Alabama. The Company is in need of 400 million feet of Composite C- Rebar for the toll road project in the State of Alabama. HSR Technologies, Inc. site will facilitate the manufacturing and distribution of Composite C- Rebar.

Entry of the Company into the Market
The Company anticipates that it can offer a comprehensive, innovative approach to resolving the nation’s transportation crisis, and it proposes doing so without the necessity of the government increasing taxes at any level, or in any manner. In short, the Company suggests replacing public financing with private funding.
The Company’s innovative approach is to utilize the related and non-related non-profit entities to officiate bond offerings to finance infrastructure projects being identified around the country. A government entity can sponsor the bond offering since the bond proceeds benefit the public interest of their state, and the state is not burdened with the debt liability of the offering. The Company can then consult with one of the related entities to raise the needed capital through sponsored bonds, on behalf of the state citizenry. The reason we say we are “Pioneers” of Private Public Partnerships is that the finished debt free project will be sold back to the government entity for one dollar upon bond retirement, as the operations of the project are then managed for a fee, resulting in revenue profits going into the State treasury in future years.
Competition
The Company may face significant competition from other companies that may be developing competing transportation systems. The Company will also face competition in the allocation of monetary resources from governmental agencies, at the local, regional, state and federal levels. The Company believes that government agencies will endorse its proposed plan for high-speed regional rail systems, but believes that, given the economic environment, there may be few or no funds available for such development.
Due to expected U.S. federal budgetary constraints, project funding may need to come from private or public entities. On the heels of the Department of Transportation’s recent request for high-speed rail proposals, its Federal Railroad Administration received 132 applications from 32 states totaling $8.8 billion. That was more than three times the $2.4 billion available. During the first round of awards in the fall of 2009, applicants submitted more than $55 billion in project proposals. That was nearly six times the initial $8 billion available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Unfortunately, due to federal budgetary setbacks, as of 2016, very little of this has come to fruition.
Trading Market
While there currently is no active market for the shares, the Company has a trading symbol ARMT from FINRA.

High-Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. and High-Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc. are prepared to assume a “much larger role” with the Company. Having brought together the necessary technical and industrial components to begin work immediately, the Company need not engage in costly, time-consuming “pilot programs.” Our team of experts is prepared to move expeditiously forward on the widest variety of fronts, from site selection, to trainset construction, to building cooperative ventures with ancillary components of the transportation and accommodation industries nationwide. The Company takes an intermodal approach to providing seamless service with a scale of economy. Specifically, the Company’s paradigm anticipates a fundamental change in the manner in which passenger rail service will be provided. The high-speed rail plan will utilize existing rail rights-of-way to connect several metropolitan areas and states serving expanding populations. The major elements of the plan would include:
·
Use of existing rail rights-of-way to connect rural, small urban and major metropolitan areas;
·
Operation of a "hub-and-spoke" passenger rail system providing service to and through one or more major hubs to locations throughout the United States;
·
Introduction of modern trail equipment operating at speeds up to 110 mph;
·
Provision of multi-modal connections to improve system access;
·
Improvement in reliability and on-time performance;
·
Development or expansion of a feeder bus system linking outlying areas to railroad stations;
·
Acquiring new train equipment including train sets, including spares;
·
Communications Systems, and grade-crossing improvements;
·
Construction or improvement of railroad grade crossings and passenger stations. High-Speed Rail Facilities, Inc. and The High-Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc. are currently finalizing an arrangement with the Company.

On January 13, 2013 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent, which was later turned into an agreement, with a related party. The purpose being that the Company is contracting services for the build out of the Port Trajan 5 Terminals.
The following discussion is contingent on subsequent financing being obtained.
On August 8, 2016, Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement for construction (“Construction Agreement”) with Port De Claudius, Inc. (“PDC”). Pursuant to the Construction Agreement, the Company shall perform all tasks and actions required to develop and construct the Port Trajan Pa. commercial properties (the “Project”) and to secure the first and future phases of the financing applicable to the design, planning, engineering, and related soft and hard costs of the construction of the Project. Pursuant to the Construction Agreement, the specifications, designs, construction standards, subcontractor agreements, insurance requirements, hiring and employment policies and similar items shall be developed by the Company, subject to approval by PDC. The Company shall assure that the Project is constructed according to specifications and requirements imposed by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PADOT) and the Federal Highway Administration. The Company shall supervise all phases of the construction of the Project, and it shall be responsible to PDC for all acts or omissions of its employees, subcontractors, agents, consultants and other parties under its control. The Company shall be responsible for assuring that the construction of the Project is performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the highest standards of care for the industry.
The Project consists of two phases, phase one closing to take place on or before September 21, 2016 (“Phase One”) and phase two to take place on or before August 31, 2017. Phase One consists of land purchase and onsite /off site improvement and its estimated cost, for both phases, is Two Billion Dollars ($2,000,000,000), at cost plus forty percent (40%), plus two percent (2%) for the increase in inflation regardless of the cost to the Company to perform the required services. In no event will the profit to the Company from the amount paid by PDC be less than Eight Hundred Million Dollars ($800,000,000). A mobilization fee of $2,729,514 shall be due and payable by PDC to the Company upon the closing of Bond funding for Phase One.

Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Company and the Seller shall sell and assign all rights, title and interest in and to any contractual agreements to PDC on completion of Phase One, as governed by the Construction Agreement. The cost of Phase One is $950,000,000. The net Phase One revenue to the Company is $66,719,514
On September 21, 2016, the closing of the transaction took place.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenues since inception and is unlikely to generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at July 31, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $24,060,855 and has accumulated losses of $29,977,275 since inception. The ability of Ameri Metro to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations.
Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and on-going operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires making estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of 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.
The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company has yet to realize significant revenues from operations. The Company recognizes revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is collection is reasonably assured.
Share-based payments
The Company may issue shares of common stock to employees and non-employees for services. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
The Company will estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the underlying stock and the expected life of stock options. Projected data related to the expected volatility of stock options is based on the average volatility of the trading prices of comparable companies and the expected life of stock options is based upon the average term and vesting schedules of the options. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore the existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of our stock options and warrants.
The Company will estimate the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services based on the price of shares of the Company’s common stock sold in contemporaneous private placements of offerings on the date shares are granted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Discussion for the Fiscal Years Ended July 31, 2017 and 2016
Total assets of the Company were $4,660 as at July 31, 2017 as compared to total assets of $41,023 as at July 31, 2016. Total current assets at July 31, 2017 was $nil as compared to current assets of $35,838 as at July 31, 2016.
Total operating expenses increased to $8,807,895 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 from $7,022,083 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016. The increase was due to additional accrual of directors’ fees and officer payroll and increases in professional fees during the year ended July 31, 2017. Loss from operations was $8,807,895 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 compared to $7,022,083 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016.
Liquidity: The Company has no continuous methods of generating cash other than the sale of its stock.
Capital Resources: The Company did not incur any capital expenditures other than the purchase of office supplies and computer equipment.
Results of Operations: The Company completed no sales and received no revenues since inception other than from the sale of its securities. The Company does not anticipate that it will generate revenue sufficient to cover its operating expenses until the development of its business plan. As at July 31, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $24,060,555 and has accumulated losses of $29,977,275 since inception. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and on-going operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

To the stockholders and the board of directors of
Ameri Metro, Inc.
York, Pennsylvania
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ameri Metro, Inc. (the "Company") as of July 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Other matters
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2016 and for the year then ended were restated as discussed in Note 4.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2017
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Nature of Business
Ameri Metro, Inc. (“Ameri Metro” and the “Company”) was formed to engage primarily in high-speed rail for passenger and freight transportation and related transportation projects. The Company initially intends to develop a Midwest high-speed rail system for passengers and freight. Currently the Company is engaged in raising capital and entering into relationships in furtherance of its planned activities.
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the company’s business plan.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenues since inception and is unlikely to generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at July 31, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $24,060,555 and has accumulated losses of $29,977,275 since inception. The ability of Ameri Metro to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations.
Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and on-going operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for Ameri Metro, Inc. (“AMI”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Transportation & Infrastructure, Inc. (“GTI”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s major shareholder created several entities. The Company owns 25% of each via non-voting common shares. These entities have had no operation, as of July 31, 2017, the Company’s investment in these companies was $0.
The financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for the period reported include only the results of operations for AMI as GTI was inactive for the period from December 1, 2010 to July 31, 2017.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a July 31 fiscal year end.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Financial Instruments
According to FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Guidance under ACS 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:
Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, loans payable, and loans payable to related parties. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
The capital assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation for book purposes. Office equipment has a useful life of five years.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Due to loss for the years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding options are anti-dilutive. The Company has more than one class of common stock outstanding. However, the dividend rate of each outstanding class of common stock is equal. Therefore, the loss per common shares is the same for each class of common stock.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of July 31, 2017, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation including grants of employee stock options, based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.
NOTE 4 - RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company determined that it had overaccrued certain accrued expenses and overstated loans payable in 2016. The Company also determined that it had underaccrued compensation expense, interest expense on unpaid rent and stock payable to a major shareholder. The Company has restated its 2016 current liabilities, general & administrative expense, and interest expense by those amounts.
Following is a summary of the restated changes made to the financial statements previously issued as of and for the year ended July 31, 2016.

ITEM 9A.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Pursuant to Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules. This evaluation was done as of the end of the fiscal year under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal financial officer. There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, the CFO believes that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not totally effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports is recorded, summarized and processed timely. The officer is directly involved in operations of the Company. The Company has hired outside professionals to assist in such preparation, analysis and filing.
Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2017, based on the criteria establish in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2017, based on those criteria. The Company’s management has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting related to the following matters:
·
A lack of sufficient segregation of duties. Specifically, this material weakness is such that the design over these areas relies primarily on defective controls and could be strengthened by adding preventative controls to properly safeguard company assets.
·
A lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to the Company’s limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform certain tasks as it relates to financial reporting.
The Company’s plan to remediate those material weaknesses remaining is as follows:
Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by continuing to augment existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions. The Company plans to mitigate the segregation of duties issues by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once it generates significantly more revenue or raises significant additional working capital.
Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.
The independent registered public accounting firm has not issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting.

Given Joe's 20-plus year commercial middle market lending background he focused initially on lending as a way to quick profitability then moved to the investment and planning aspects deepening the relationships and the accompanying profitability.The planning process resulted in the identification of several new revenue sources as Joe looked for ways to bring unique ideas to their clients. These included angel investing, enterprise risk captives, and structured sales of client business and real estate holdings. These tax deferral strategies represented up to a 20% increase in investment dollars to be managed. Joe continues to grow the planning and investment focus through his company AIM Advisors.

Committees and Terms
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) established an audit committee on October 19, 2016, to be effected November 1st 2016 consisting of three of its independent directors. The Company will notify its shareholders for an annual shareholder meeting and that they may present proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement to be mailed in connection with any such annual meeting; such proposals must be received by the Company at least 90 days prior to the meeting. No other specific policy has been adopted in regard to the inclusion of shareholder nominations to the Board of Directors.
Director Independence
Pursuant to Rule 4200 of The NASDAQ Stock Market one of the definitions of an independent director is a person other than an executive officer or employee of a company. The Company's board of directors has reviewed the materiality of any relationship that each of the directors has with the Company, either directly or indirectly. Based on this review, the board has determined they have four independent directors.
Corporate Governance
Consists of eleven directors. At such time that the Company has a larger board of directors and commences activities, the Company will propose creating committees of its board of directors.
Conflicts of Interest
There are no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the Company could result in liability of management to the Company. However, any attempt by shareholders to enforce a liability of management to the Company would most likely be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.
Code of Ethics
The Company has not at this time adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to rules described in Regulation S-K. The Company intends to adopt a Code of Ethics to provide a manner of conduct.

Shah Mathias has organized and established three nonprofit corporations - Hi Speed Rail Facilities Inc., Hi Speed Rail Facilities Provider Inc., and Global Transportation Infrastructure Development and Finance Authority and was an independent consultant of a fourth nonprofit (ATFI) for the purpose of facilitating the development of the transportation systems. ATFI, under legislation and Internal Revenue Service code section 63-20, is required to turn over assets to the governmental sponsor upon bond defeasance. The three nonprofits other than ATFI have the discretion to turn over the infrastructure projects to a state or governing body having jurisdiction after the indebtedness has been paid. The nonprofits that Mr. Mathias has created are no. 2, no. 3, and no. 4 below:
1) Alabama Toll Facilities, Inc. (ATFI)

3) Hi Speed Rail Facilities Provider, Inc. (HSRFP)
4) Global Transportation Infrastructure Development and Finance Authority
The following information describes the contractual relationships between the Company, the non-profits and related entities for different types of project packages:
The Alabama Toll Road project: This project was granted to ATFI a non-related entity, through legislation, the rights to construct a 357 mile toll road in the State of Alabama. As more particularly described in the general information section of the registration statement. Prior to formation of the Company Mr. Mathias acting as CEO of Penndel Land Co. entered into contract to construct the ATFI roadway for fee.

The Penndel Land Co. accepted and reserved unto itself all ancillary development along the Alabama Toll Road project. The Penndel Land Co. later assigned the construction contracts to all future development that is ancillary to the toll road, to one or more of the related entities that Mr. Mathias established, for fee of one dollar.

Upon the debt being paid back in full the related entity will own the ancillary project. Under certain Opportunities License Agreements and contracts with for profit related parties, the Company will be entitled to twenty five percent of the profit sharing as part of the post construction revenue from business operations. The Company will also receive through “Master Consulting Agreements” a fee from the bond proceeds for consulting for the related entity(s).
