ITEM 1. |
BUSINESS. |
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis summarizes our plan of operation for the next twelve months, our results of operations for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, and changes in our financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion includes information regarding our mining and exploration business operated by us since our formation as well as the homeopathic nasal spray products developed and marketed by the former TheraBiogen, Inc., acquired as part of the merger which closed on January 5, 2010.
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated on October 3, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Kushi Resources, Inc. On January 5, 2010, we merged with TheraBiogen, Inc., also a Nevada corporation. We were the surviving entity in the merger and changed our name to TheraBiogen, Inc. All references in this Report to TheraBiogen or
Company mean TheraBiogen, Inc., formerly Kushi Resources Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
Until the merger with TheraBiogen, Inc. on January 5, 2010, we have been an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We currently own a 100 percent undivided interest in a mineral property that we call the “Bee Peak Claim.” The Bee Peak Claim consists of approximately 410.65
hectares and is located in the Atlin mining district of northwest British Columbia, Canada.
We have not generated any revenues from our mineral exploration activities. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the Bee Peak Claim. Further exploration will be required before an evaluation as to the economic feasibility of the Bee Peak Claim can be determined. The Bee Peak Claim is without known reserves
and management is intending to proceed with a three-phase mineral exploration program as recommended by our consulting geological technician, as described below.
On June 18, 2009, Kelly T. Hickel was appointed to our board of directors. During August, 2009, a controlling interest in the Company was acquired as reported on the Form 14F-1 filed with the SEC on August 31, 2009. As part of that change in control, our former Chairman and sole officer, Greg Corcoran, resigned as an officer and director,
leaving Mr. Hickel as the sole remaining director. Mr. Hickel also was appointed as our President, Secretary and Treasurer and sole officer. On November 17, 2009, we appointed three new directors to the Board: Dwight Brunhoeler, Barry Saxe and Boris Rubizhevsky, to serve with Mr. Hickel. Mr. Brunhoeler later resigned for personal reasons in May 2010.
On November 17, 2009, our Board of Directors approved the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TheraBiogen, Inc., which was approved unanimously by our shareholders, also on November 17, 2009. Under the terms of the merger, Kushi Resources, Inc. would be the surviving entity but would change its corporate name to TheraBiogen,
Inc., and would issue one share of its post-forward split common stock for each of the 19,091,000 shares of common stock of TheraBiogen, Inc. then outstanding. Following approval by a majority of the shareholders of TheraBiogen, Inc. in December, 2009, the merger closed on January 5, 2010.
On January 4, 2010, we completed a 2.6 for 1 forward split of our common stock, as a result of which, our outstanding shares increased from 5,230,000 shares to 13,598,000 shares. We issued an additional 19,091,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of the old TheraBiogen, Inc. in the merger. Following
the merger, there were 32,689,000 common shares outstanding. As a result of our corporate name change to TheraBiogen, Inc. in the merger, our trading symbol on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board also changed from KUSI to TRAB. For accounting purposes, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
The financial statements contained in this Annual Report are the consolidated results of operations and financial position of the consolidated entities as a result of the merger for all periods reported, except that the historical financial statements of TheraBiogen, Inc. have been restated to a fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 to conform
with the fiscal year of Kushi Resources, Inc., the surviving entity in the merger. TheraBiogen, Inc. filed a Form 15 Notice of Termination of its former reporting status with the SEC on March 31, 2010, and we have assumed the former reporting obligations of the old TheraBiogen, Inc., as the survivor in the merger.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Exploration
Our plan of operation to date has been to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Bee Peak Claim in order to assess whether the property contains mineral reserves that are capable of commercial extraction. Our exploration program has been designed to explore for commercially viable deposits of copper, silver and gold. We have not,
nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of these minerals on our mineral claim.
We received a geological evaluation report on the Bee Peak Claim titled “Report on the Bee Peak Claim” prepared by Stephen G. Diakow, a geological technician, on December 28, 2006. In his geological report, Mr. Diakow recommended that a three phase continuing exploration program be conducted as follows:
Phase |
Exploration Program |
Approximate Cost* |
Status | |||
One
|
Prospecting, Trenching
and Sampling and
Helicopter-Supported
Magnetic Survey |
$ | 22,000 |
Completed Helicopter-
Supported Magnetic Survey
at a cost of $11,648. The
balance of this phase is
expected to be completed in
June 2010. | ||
Two |
Coverage of the area
with VLF-EM and
magnetometer surveys |
between $55,000 and $130,000 |
Dependent upon the results of
Phase One. | |||
Three |
Geological mapping and
sampling |
between $175,000 and $215,000 |
Dependent upon the results of
Phase Two. | |||
Total Estimated Cost |
between $250,000 and $365,000 |
We commenced Phase One of our exploration program by conducting a helicopter-supported magnetic survey on our Bee Peak Claim. The magnetic survey has shown this area to have medium to weak exploration potential, especially in the area of the north facing slope of the Bee Peak. Mr. David G. Mark, the author of report titled “Geophysical
Report on a Helicopter Supported Magnetic Survey on the Bee Peak Property” (the “Survey Report”), has recommended that we conduct further prospecting and sampling in the area. Following prospecting and sampling, Mr. Mark has recommended that we follow up with a soil geochemistry test and geophysical surveys, especially in the area of the known showings and in those areas where magnetic lineations cross each other.
Over the next twelve months, we anticipate that, if we continue our exploration activities, we will have to incur the following expenses:
Category |
Expenditures Over The Next 12 Months (US$) |
|||
Legal and Accounting Fees |
$ | 47,200 | ||
Regulatory and Other Operating Expenses |
$ | 7,000 | ||
Mineral Property Exploration Expenses |
$ | 12,150 | ||
TOTAL |
$ | 66,350 |
Our total expenditures over the next twelve months are anticipated to be approximately $66,350 if we continue our exploration activities. Our cash on hand as of February 28, 2010 was $1 and we had a working capital deficit of $47,377. We do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet our ongoing operating costs and to pay the anticipated costs
of our three-phase exploration program. As such, we will require additional financing to fund our mining operations for the next twelve months. We currently do not have any arrangements for additional financing if we continue our mining activities.
Nasal Products
During 2007, TheraBiogen, Inc. entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with a California company, Nasal Therapeutics, Inc., to develop, manufacture, market and sell four homeopathic nasal sprays, THERAMAX™ Cold Relief, THERAMAX™ Flu Relief, THERAMAX™ Allergy Relief and THERAMAX™ Migraine Relief, on an exclusive
basis in North America and with a right of first refusal for all other areas. The principal of Nasal Therapeutics, Inc., Dr. Charles Hensley, also developed the homeopathic nasal product ZICAM. Dr. Hensley also developed ZICAM Allergy and the nasal delivery systems used in the ZICAM product line extensions. Dr. Hensley founded Geltech, LLC., the company that launched ZICAM and made the product a household name. In 2001, Dr. Hensley and his partners sold their interest in Geltech to Matrixx
Initiatives (MTXX).
ZICAM had been a leading cold remedy in the United States with sales exceeding $100,000,000 in 2006. However, in recent years, the use of zinc in the ZICAM product has come under fire. In 2003, reports began to surface that a small number of ZICAM users suffered a condition known as anosmia, or total loss of smell. These reports left questions
in the minds of consumers, creating a significant market for a ZICAM-type product that does not contain zinc. In May, 2009, the Food & Drug Administration issued a nationwide recall of ZICAM nasal spray products containing zinc. No THERAMAX™ product contains zinc in any form.
Under the terms of the License Agreement, TheraBiogen, Inc. issued 15,300,000 shares of its common stock to Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. on September 2, 2008 and paid Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. the sum of $150,000, as an initial license fee. There is also an annual license fee of $100, payable on September 1 of each subsequent year
of the license, which has a 20 year term. The shares of common stock issued to Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. were valued at $0.144 per share, resulting in the cost of the license being $2,353,200, including the $150,000 cash payment and the value of the stock issued. This total license cost is being amortized over the twenty year life of the license. The issue of the shares to Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. resulted in a change of control of the Company.
In July, 2009, TheraBiogen, Inc. entered into an Amended and Modified License Agreement with Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. to remove all territorial limits, to extend the terms to 25 years, and to obtain the transfer of the pending trademark application for the THERAMAX™ name. TheraBiogen, Inc. paid a total of $75,000 for the
extension and the trademark. As a result of this modification, TheraBiogen, Inc. calculated the amortization of the license cost over the new term, as follows:
Original license cost $
2,353,200
Less: Amortization to 7-31-2009 (107,855)
Remaining cost $
2,245,345
Add: Modification cost 75,000
Total adjusted cost at 7/31/2009 $
2,320,345
The adjusted cost at July 31, 2009 is being amortized over the 25 year term of the modified license commencing August 1, 2009, in equal monthly installments of $7,734. The unamortized balance at February 28, 2010 is $2,266,207.
Business model
Over the next 6 months, we expect to launch two homeopathic nasal sprays into the United States over-the-counter market. We are launching THERAMAX™ Cold and Flu Relief and THERAMAX™ Allergy Relief in the second half of this year. We have identified and contracted with manufacturers for the products, and have designed packaging
materials. On June 26, 2009, TheraBiogen, Inc. entered into a marketing, sales and distribution agreement with Elias Shaker Company for distribution of THERAMAX™ products. We are in the final stages of approval of THERAMAX™ Cold Relief by several major retailers for introduction into their retail stores this season. We have received vendor numbers in four of those retailers.
Homeopathic nasal sprays
THERAMAX™ Cold Relief
THERAMAX™ Cold Relief homeopathic nasal spray is the next generation ZICAM cold remedy product, but without any actual or potential hazards from zinc. ZICAM, which was developed by Dr. Hensley in the late 1990s, has been a highly successful product with sales exceeding US$100,000,000 in 2006.
Common colds are caused primarily by rhinoviruses and coronaviruses. Rhinoviruses infect nasal cells by attaching to ICAM receptor sites on the nasal membrane. The Company believes that THERAMAX™ Cold Relief is superior to other homeopathic cold remedies on a variety of levels. Similar to other remedies, the active ingredients of
THERAMAX™ Cold Relief also binds to the rhinovirus attachment site inhibiting rhinovirus attachment to ICAM receptors. However, unlike other remedies, THERAMAX™ Cold Relief ingredients also inhibits the ability of rhinovirus to increase the amount of ICAM receptors on the nasal membrane. Furthermore, the actives in THERAMAX™ Cold Relief also inhibits the entry coronaviruses making it effective for coronavirus common colds as well. The fact that the actives in THERAMAX™ Cold Relief decreases
ICAM levels and inhibits both rhinovirus and coronavirus should result in a more complete suppression of common cold infections than what is seen with other homeopathic products. Human studies on THERAMAX™ Cold Relief are still a few months from being initiated. However, we expect THERAMAX™ Cold Relief to be much more effective than other homeopathic products at reducing the duration of the common cold. Patents protecting the THERAMAX™ Cold Relief intellectual property have been filed with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office.
THERAMAX™ Flu Relief
THERAMAX™ Flu Relief homeopathic nasal spray is the influenza equivalent to ZICAM cold remedy. The active THERAMAX™ Flu Relief inhibits influenza virus infections by blocking influenza virus entry into cells. Furthermore,
the active ingredient of THERAMAX™ Flu Relief inhibits influenza viral uncoating and replication. Based on the in vitro data and preliminary clinical results, we expect the THERAMAX™ Flu Relief to be extremely effective at treating influenza in humans. Patents protecting the THERAMAX™ Flu Relief intellectual property have
been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
We are marketing the Cold Relief and the Flu Relief in a formulation which distinguishes our product from any other product currently on the market.
THERAMAX™ Allergy Relief
The nasal manifestation of allergies is mediated by receptors present on the surface of the nasal membrane. Antigens such as pollen, dust, animal proteins etc. increase the expression and subsequent presentation of receptors on the nasal membranes and provide the attachment site for inflammatory mediators of the allergic response. The intracellular
mediator of the antigen induced increase in expression and the rhinovirus induced expression is the same. Therefore, active ingredients in THERAMAX™ cold that inhibit the expression form the core of the THERAMAX™ Allergy Relief formulation. By inhibiting the antigen induced expression on the nasal membrane, it is predicted that THERAMAX™ Allergy Relief will be extremely effective at treating and preventing nasal allergies. We expect to launch the allergy relief during the second half
of this year.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to our unaudited financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Mineral Property Costs
Kushi Resources has been in the exploration stage since its inception on October 3, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations other than cancellation of debt income. We are still engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties, but may decide to abandon that activity in favor of our other business
operations. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of
the probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET SEGMENTS.
The Company is now primarily engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and the marketing of the TheraMax™ products in the U.S. and Canada, a single market segment. All material information regarding the activities of the Company is reflected in the consolidated financial statements included in this report.
ITEM 1A. |
RISK FACTORS. |
The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently
deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
Mining and Exploration
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR MINING BUSINESS COULD FAIL.
We have not earned any revenue since our inception. Our current operating funds are not sufficient to meet the anticipated costs of our exploration programs, if we continue those programs. If so, we will require additional financing to fund our mining operations for the next twelve months. If the actual costs of our exploration program
significantly exceed our estimates or if we decide to proceed to or beyond Phase Three of our exploration program or if we decide to begin mining efforts in the event that it is determined that our property contains mineral reserves, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of our mineral claim. We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain
financing when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors outside of our control, including the results from our exploration program, and any unanticipated problems relating to our mineral exploration activities, including environmental assessments and additional costs and expenses that may exceed our current estimates. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us in which case our mining business will fail.
WE HAVE YET TO EARN REVENUE AND BECAUSE OUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS IS DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FINANCING, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We have never earned any revenues and we have never been profitable. Prior to completing our exploration program for the Bee Peak Claim, we will likely incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues.
This could cause our business to fail.
We have incurred net losses of $1,155,502 for the period from our inception on April 6, 2000 to February 28, 2010, and have no revenues to date. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our mineral claim. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will
be able to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, Berman Hopkins Wright & LaHam, CPAs and Associates, LLP, have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern given our accumulated losses. This opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not be able to complete our business plan.
BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE DIFFICULTIES AND UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN MINERAL EXPLORATION VENTURES, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
Investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties
that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The Bee Peak Claim does not contain a known body of commercial ore and, therefore, any program conducted on the Bee Peak Claim would be an exploratory search of ore. There is no certainty that any expenditures made in the exploration of the Bee Peak Claim will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of ore.
Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration program do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon our possessing capital resources
at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER DOES NOT HAVE FORMAL TRAINING SPECIFIC TO THE TECHNICALITIES OF MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A HIGHER RISK THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Kelly Hickel, our sole executive officer and a director, does not have any formal training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral exploration company. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to working within this industry.
Our management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry.
ACCESS TO THE BEE PEAK CLAIM MAY BE RESTRICTED BY INCLEMENT WEATHER DURING THE YEAR, WHICH MAY DELAY OUR PROPOSED MINERAL EXPLORATION PROGRAMS AND ANY FUTURE MINING EFFORTS.
Access to the Bee Peak Claim is restricted to the period between May 1 and October 15 of each year due to snow in the area. As a result, any attempts to visit, test, or explore the Bee Peak Claim are largely limited to these few months of the year when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in
exploration efforts, as well as mining and production if commercial amounts of minerals are found. Such delays could also result in our inability to meet deadlines for exploration expenditures as defined by the Province of British Columbia. This could cause our business to fail and the loss of investors' entire investment.
WE HAVE NO MINERAL RESERVES. IF WE DO NOT FIND A MINERAL RESERVE OR IF WE CANNOT COMPLETE THE EXPLORATION OF THE MINERAL RESERVE, EITHER BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT OR BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BE ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TO DO IT, WE WILL HAVE TO CEASE OPERATIONS AND INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR INVESTMENT.
Mineral exploration is highly speculative. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. Even if we are able to find mineral reserves on our property, our production capability is subject to further risks including:
· |
costs of bringing the property into production including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities, all of which we have not budgeted for; |
· |
availability and costs of financing; |
· |
ongoing costs of production; and |
· |
environmental compliance regulations and restraints. |
The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling facilities and processing equipment near the Bee Peak Claim, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations
relating to allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection.
Given the above noted risks, the chances of finding reserves on our mineral property are remote and funds expended on exploration will likely be lost.
BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF EXPLORATION OF MINERAL PROPERTIES, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our Bee Peak Claim contains commercially exploitable reserves of base or precious minerals. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us in
the exploration of the Bee Peak Claim may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of minerals. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan and investors could lose their entire investment.
WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION IN THE MINERAL EXPLORATION INDUSTRY.
We compete with other mining and exploration companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than us in connection with the acquisition of mineral exploration claims and other precious metals prospects and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel. There is significant competition
for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities and, as a result, we may be unable to acquire an interest in attractive mineral exploration properties on terms we consider acceptable on a continuing basis.
COMPLIANCE WITH HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS MAY IMPOSE BURDENSOME COSTS AND IF COMPLIANCE IS NOT ACHIEVED OUR BUSINESS AND REPUTATION MAY BE DETRIMENTALLY IMPACTED.
The nature of the industries in which we operate means that our activities are highly monitored by health, safety and environmental groups. As regulatory standards and expectations are constantly developing, we may be exposed to increased litigation, compliance costs and unforeseen environmental remediation expenses.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
We may continue to be exposed to increased operational costs due to the costs and lost worker’s time associated with the health and well-being of our workforce on our project areas. Despite our best efforts and best intentions, there remains a risk that health, safety and/or environmental incidents or accidents may occur which may
negatively impact our reputation and freedom or license to operate.
MARKET FACTORS IN THE MINING INDUSTRY ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL, AND AS A RESULT, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MARKET ANY MINERALS THAT MAY BE FOUND ON THE BEE PEAK CLAIM.
The mining industry, in general, is intensely competitive and management can provide no assurance that even if minerals are discovered on the Bee Peak Claim that a ready market will exist from the sale of any ore found. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of minerals. These factors include market fluctuations,
the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in not receiving an adequate return on invested capital and investors may lose their entire investment.
IF WE UNDERTAKE EXPLORATION OF OUR MINERAL CLAIM, WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION THAT MAY INCREASE THE ANTICIPATED COST OF OUR EXPLORATION PROGRAM.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration. We will be subject to the laws of the Province of British Columbia as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply
with these laws. If we enter the production phase, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
(i) |
Water discharge will have to meet drinking water standards; | |
(ii) |
Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated; | |
(iii) |
Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated with natural vegetation; | |
(iv) |
An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign; | |
(v) |
Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants; | |
(vi) |
The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be remediated; and | |
(vii) |
There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora including a study of potentially endangered species. |
Our annual cost of compliance with the Mineral Tenure Act is currently approximately CDN$3,285 ($3,122 US) per year. There is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. We will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation
for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned up and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental
damage caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work program. If remediation costs exceed our cash reserves we may be unable to complete our exploration program and have to abandon our operations.
OUR FAILURE TO MAKE REQUIRED PAYMENTS OR EXPENDITURES COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE TITLE TO THE MINERAL CLAIM.
In the Province of British Columbia, the recorded holder of a mineral claim is required to perform a minimum amount of exploration work on a claim or make payment in the equivalent sum in lieu of work. The fee is $4.00 CDN per hectare (approximately $3.80 US per hectare) in the first three years and $8.00 CDN per hectare (approximately
$7.60 US) per hectare) in subsequent years plus a $0.40 CDN per hectare (approximately $0.38 US per hectare) recording fee annually. Our mineral claim consists of 410.65 hectares. As such, the minimum exploration expenditures and/or filing fee required to maintain the Bee Peak Claim in good standing is CDN$3,285 ($3,122 US) per year. Our claim is in good standing until January 30, 2012. Following the expiry date, if we fail to incur the minimum exploration expenditures or make any of the required payments in
lieu thereof, we could lose title to the Bee Peak Claim.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN CLEAR TITLE TO THE MINERAL CLAIM, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL.
Under British Columbia law, title to British Columbia mineral claim can only be held by individuals, British Columbia corporations or foreign corporations extra-provincially registered in British Columbia. Since we are a Nevada corporation and we are not extra-provincially registered in British Columbia, we are not legally allowed to hold
claims in British Columbia. Accordingly, our mineral claim is being held in trust for us by our former director, Rajan Rai. If we confirm economically viable mineral deposits on our mineral claim, we will incorporate a British Columbia subsidiary to hold title to the mineral claim and Mr. Rai will transfer the claim to the subsidiary. Until we can confirm mineral deposits, Mr. Rai will hold the claim in trust for us. However, there could be situations such as the death of the titleholder that could hinder us
from obtaining a registered title to the mineral claim. If we are unable to obtain a registered title to the mineral claim, our business will be adversely affected.
ABORIGINAL LAND CLAIMS MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS.
We are not aware of any outstanding aboriginal land claims on the area of the Bee Peak Claim; however, it is possible that an aboriginal land claim could be made in the future. British Columbia government policy at this time is to consult with all potentially affected aboriginal bands and other stakeholders in the area of any potential
mining. Should we encounter a situation where an aboriginal person or group claims an interest in our mineral claims, we may be unable to provide compensation to the affected party in order to continue with our mineral exploration work, or if such an option is not available, we may have to relinquish our interest in these claims. In either case, the costs and/or losses could be greater than our financial capacity, and our business would fail.
Nasal Products
THE COMPANY HAS LIMITED RESOURCES AND NO PRESENT SOURCE OF REVENUES
The Company has limited resources and has had no significant revenues to date. In addition, the Company will not achieve any significant revenues until, at the earliest, the first distribution of the THERAMAX™ Cold and Flu Relief. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company's distribution of any THERAMAX™ product, either
initially or at any time thereafter, will provide any material revenues or operate on a profitable basis.
THE COMPANY MAY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN ORDER TO EXECUTE ITS BUSINESS
PLAN
The Company has had no revenues to date and will be entirely dependent upon its limited available financial resources. The Company cannot ascertain with any degree of certainty the capital requirements for the execution of its business plan. In the event that the Company's limited financial resources prove to be insufficient to implement
the Company's
business plan, the Company may be required to seek additional financing.
ADDITIONAL FINANCING MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY IF NEEDED
There can be no assurance that additional financing, if needed, will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed, the Company would, in all likelihood, be compelled to abandon plans to market the THERAMAX™ products. The failure by the Company to secure additional
financing, if needed, could also have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of its business model. The Company has no arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement, if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable and in the best interests of the Company.
THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BORROW FUNDS IF NEEDED
There currently are no limitations on the Company's ability to borrow funds to increase the amount of capital available to the Company to undertake its business plan. Moreover, the limited resources of the Company and lack of operating history will make it difficult to borrow funds. The amount and nature of any borrowings by the Company
will depend on numerous considerations, including the Company's capital requirements, the Company's perceived ability to meet debt service on any such borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that debt financing, if required or sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable by and in the best interests of the Company. The inability of the Company to borrow funds required to undertake its
business model, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and future prospects. Additionally, to the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may subject the Company to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest.
SUCCESS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS PLAN DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON THE SUCCESS OF ITS PRODUCTS, WHICH ARE UNTESTED
The success of the Company's proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the acceptance of its homeopathic products by the public. To date, no market studies or projections of the acceptance of these products have been conducted.
General Risk Factors
THE COMPANY DEPENDS UPON ITS EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The ability of the Company to successfully carry out its business model will be dependent upon the efforts of its executive officers and directors, as well as its ability to attract additional directors and executive officers. The Company has not entered into employment agreements with any officer or director concerning compensation
but has obtained "key man" life insurance on Mr. Hickel’s life.
THERE EXIST RISKS TO STOCKHOLDERS RELATING TO DILUTION: AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES AND REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING THE ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON SHARES
To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, the Company's stockholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests in the Company. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of common stock may adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for the common stock and could impair
the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities. The Company may use consultants and other third parties providing goods and services, including assistance in the manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of products. These consultants or third parties may be paid in cash, stock, options or other securities of the Company, and the consultants or third parties may be placement agents or their affiliates.
FUTURE LITIGATION COULD IMPACT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS AND CONDITION.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be affected by significant future litigation or claims adverse to us. Types of potential litigation cases include: product liability, contract, employment-related, labor relations, personal injury or property damage, intellectual property, stockholder claims and claims arising
from any injury or damage to persons, property or the environment from hazardous substances used, generated or disposed of in the conduct of our business.
THE COMPANY EXPECTS TO PAY NO CASH DIVIDENDS
The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and the payment of dividends will be contingent upon the Company's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition subsequent to the commencement of its business activities and the generation of profits from those activities. The
payment of any dividends subsequent to an investment will be within the discretion of the Company's then Board of Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company's business operations and accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL NECESSARY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.
Our future success depends largely upon the continued service of our sole officer. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel when needed. Key personnel represent a significant asset, and the competition for qualified personnel is intense in the mineral exploration industry.
WE MAY CONDUCT FURTHER OFFERINGS IN THE FUTURE IN WHICH CASE YOUR SHAREHOLDINGS WILL BE DILUTED.
Since our inception, we have relied on such equity sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower
than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, stockholders percentage interest in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of investors' stock.
BECAUSE OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK, SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN THEIR ABILITY TO SELL THEIR STOCK.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information
with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.
Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per
share, the common stock will be subject to rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1. |
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
2. |
contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws; |
3. |
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
4. |
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
5. |
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and |
6. |
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information
relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure
statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
None
ITEM 2. |
PROPERTIES. |
We currently do not own any physical property or own any real property. We own a 100% undivided interest in a mineral claim that we call the Bee Peak Claim.
Our principal office is located at 1365 N. Courtenay Parkway, Suite A, Merritt Island, FL 32953, a portion of which we sub-lease at the monthly rental of $550.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings pending, or to the best knowledge of management threatened against the Company; however, certain directors, former directors and other parties received copies of a letter dated April 27, 2010 from a law firm purporting to represent an unnamed party claiming to have had a common stock interest in Terra Trema,
Inc., the predecessor by name change to the former TheraBiogen, Inc., arising some time prior to 2004. The letter was nor addressed to or sent to the Company, and made no specific claims or demands on the Company other than an indefinite stock interest. The Company has retained legal counsel who has responded to the letter and does not believe that the claims made in the letter represent a material threat or material claim against the Company or its business activities.
There were no legal proceedings previously pending which were resolved during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Except as noted below, no matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, ended February 28, 2010. The shareholders of the former TheraBiogen, Inc. and of Kushi Resources, Inc. approved the merger of TheraBiogen, Inc. with and into Kushi Resources, Inc. in December,
2009.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
(a) Market information. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, our common shares of stock were listed or admitted for trading on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board market under the symbol KUSI. That symbol was change to TRAB as a result of the merger of the Company and TheraBiogen, Inc. The
trading activity in our stock during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 was minimal so the remaining information requested in Item 5(a) is omitted as not material.
(b) Holders. As of February 28, 2010, there were approximately 60 holders of record of our common stock.
(c) Dividends. The Company has not paid any dividends to date, has not yet generated earnings sufficient to pay dividends, and currently does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
(d) Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.
None.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
The Company was in a development stage through the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 and is a small issuer. Therefore, the information required by Item 301 of Regulation S-K is omitted for that period as not required.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The financial summaries that follow present the consolidated results of operations of TheraBiogen, Inc. for the periods presented, as a result of the merger between the former TheraBiogen, Inc. and Kushi Resources, Inc. effective January 5, 2010. The consolidated results of operations for TheraBiogen, Inc. reflect the former Kushi Resources,
Inc. fiscal year end of the last day of February, which differed from that of the former TheraBiogen, Inc. year end of December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the amounts shown from the audited consolidated financials reflect the financial position and results of operations as of and for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009.

Over the next twelve months, we anticipate generating significant revenue from the TheraMax™ product line, but will require additional sources of capital to do so. We do not have any financing arranged and cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our shares of common stock, or that
we will receive private advances.

We had a working capital deficit of $413,654 as of February 28, 2010 compared to a working capital deficit of $257,039 as of February 28, 2009. The increase in our working capital deficit is attributable to the completion of the merger and the resulting acquisition of operating assets and the increase in short term debt to finance operations.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, and equity price risk and the normal risks associated with a start-up business. We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. During the twelve months ended February 28, 2010,
we did not engage in any hedging activities.
Since the Company to date has had no significant operations, the information and disclosures required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K are omitted as not material.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
See the index to the financial statements of the Company on page 21.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
As a result of the merger with TheraBiogen, Inc. which closed on January 5, 2010, our Board of Directors determined to continue the existing relationship with the independent accounting firm for the former TheraBiogen, Inc., Berman, Hopkins Wright & LaHam, CPAs and Associates, LLP, to review and audit our financial reports for the fiscal
year. There was no dispute or disagreement with our former auditors over any accounting matter. Although there was no change of auditors as a result, the continuation of the former TheraBiogen auditor was reported as such on a Form 8-K report filed with the SEC on May 27, 2010.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s review and evaluation of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting
did not involve a recognized framework for financial controls and was limited to the identification of risks associated with the limited number of personnel employed by the company and the direct involvement of the CEO and CFO in most business functions. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010, our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material
weaknesses, as described below.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in enabling the Company to record, process, summarize and report, in a timely manner, the information that the Company is required to disclose in its Exchange Act reports. Control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, are described below.
Material Weaknesses
Lack of Effective Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures. We do not have effective policies regarding the independence of or directors and do not have independent directors. The lack of independent directors means that there is no effective review, authorization, or oversight
of management or management’s actions by persons that were not involved in approving or executing those actions. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances
constitute a material weakness.
We have no conflicts of interest policies and there is no provision for the review and approval of transactions between the Company and interested members of management.
Lack of Effective Policies Regarding the General Accounting System. We do not have any documented processes for the input, accumulation, or testing of financial data that would provide assurance that all transactions are accurately and timely recorded or that the financial reports
will be prepared on a periodic basis.
Lack of Effective Control over Financial Statement Disclosure. We do not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our
financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has determined that the Company does not have the financial resources or personnel to address any of the material weaknesses identified or to conduct a more robust evaluation of its controls. As resources become available, management will develop and implement
remedial actions to address the material weaknesses it has identified.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to
provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Effective January 5, 2010, Kushi Resources, Inc. acquired TheraBiogen, Inc. This merger resulted in changes to key controls in all transaction cycles relating primarily to authorization and recording of transactions, which we are currently in the process of addressing. There were no other changes in our internal
control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making
can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.
Subsequent to the merger of the former TheraBiogen, Inc. and the Company, we issued a total of 238,000 common shares and 119,000 warrants to acquire additional shares through the end of the fiscal year, for total consideration of $119,000, of which $238 was attributed to the purchase of the warrants and the remainder to the acquisition
of the stock. Subsequent to February 28, 2010, we have issued another 354,000 shares of common stock on the same terms, for a total of $177,000 in cash consideration.

Item 1. Financial Statements.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To The Board of Directors
TheraBiogen, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TheraBiogen, Inc., a development stage company, as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows the years then ended and for the period from April 26, 2000 (inception) to February 28, 2010. The Company's
management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TheraBiogen, Inc. as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from April 26, 2000 (inception) to February 28, 2010
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has had minimal operations to-date, and has an accumulated deficit and negative working capital. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31, as reported in its previously issued financial statements, to the last day of February

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Kushi resources, Inc. (Kushi) was incorporated on October 3, 2005, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Kushi’s principal business has been the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources in northern British Columbia, Canada.
In November, 2009, Kushi announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TheraBiogen, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated in Nevada in April 2000, and that merger closed on January 5, 2010. Kushi, as the surviving entity, changed its name to TheraBiogen, Inc. as part of the merger.
During 2007, TheraBiogen, Inc. entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with a California company, Nasal Therapeutics, Inc., to develop, manufacture, market and sell four homeopathic nasal sprays, THERAMAX™ Cold Relief, THERAMAX™ Flu Relief, THERAMAX™ Allergy Relief and THERAMAX™ Migraine Relief, on an exclusive
basis in North America and with a right of first refusal for all other areas. The principal of Nasal Therapeutics, Inc., Dr. Charles Hensley, also developed the homeopathic nasal product ZICAM. Dr. Hensley also developed ZICAM Allergy and the nasal delivery systems used in the ZICAM product line extensions. Dr. Hensley founded Geltech, LLC., the company that launched ZICAM and made the product a household name. In 2001, Dr. Hensley and his partners sold their interest in Geltech to Matrixx
Initiatives (MTXX).
The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company had not commenced significant operations as of February 28, 2010, and was considered an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by SEC Industry Guide 7, and follows FASB ASC Topic 270-10-599 (SFAS 7) Accounting
and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises, where applicable.
In these notes, the terms Company, we, us, or our mean TheraBiogen, Inc., formerly Kushi Resources, Inc., the surviving entity in the merger.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial information and the instructions to Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, and its results of operations and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. As described in Note 3, effective January 5, 2010, the former TheraBiogen, Inc. merged into Kushi Resources, Inc., and Kushi Resources, Inc. changed its corporate name to TheraBiogen, Inc. For accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Kushi Resources, Inc. and a recapitalization
of the former TheraBiogen, Inc. The former TheraBiogen, Inc. is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Kushi Resources, Inc. are not carried over.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly owned subsidiary for a portion of the periods indicated, based on the date the Company acquired majority-voting control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated.
Exploration Stage
The Company has not produced any revenues from its principal business and was an exploration stage company as defined by FASB ASC Topic 271-10-S99 at February 28, 2010. In an exploration stage company, management devotes most of its time to conducting exploratory work and developing its business.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FEBRUARY 28, 2010 AND 2009 |
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a development stage company, has incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception,
and requires debt financing to fund operations. Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next twelve months.
The Company has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern and its ability to emerge from the exploration stage with any planned principal business activity is dependent upon the continued financial support of
its shareholders and its ability to obtain the necessary equity financing and attain profitable operations. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations,
through debt covenants or other restrictions.
The Company has not yet determined whether to proceed with its exploration activities after the merger with former TheraBiogen, Inc.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds, or raise them on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms, it may be unable to execute its business plan, the Company could be required to delay or reduce the scope of its operations, and the Company may not be able
to pay off its obligations, if and when they come due.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities or other adjustments that may be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all amounts on deposit with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. At February 28, 2010, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830 (SFAS 52) Foreign Currency Translation, using the exchange rate prevailing at the
balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. During the quarter ended February 28, 2010, the Company incurred no foreign currency losses. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FEBRUARY 28, 2010 AND 2009 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive Income (loss) reflects changes in equity that results from transactions and economic events from non-owner sources. At February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive income (loss) and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive income (loss) in these unaudited
financial statements.
Mineral Property Costs
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on October 3, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It was primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties as of February 28, 2010. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition
costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 04-02, Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets at each fiscal quarter end. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted
future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value.
When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. If mineral properties
are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Asset Retirement Obligations
FASB ASC Topic 410-10 (SFAS 143), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Specifically, Topic 410-10 requires that
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and subsequently allocated to expense over the asset’s useful life. At February 28, 2010, the Company did not have any asset retirement obligations.
Financial Instruments
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company may be subject to foreign exchange risk for transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the United States dollar. The Company does not believe that it has any material risk due to foreign currency
exchange.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets of all financial instruments approximates their fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments or comparable interest rates of similar instruments. The Company follows newly issued accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements.
This guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
THERABIOGEN INC. |
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FEBRUARY 28, 2010 AND 2009 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Level 1 -- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 -- inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 -- unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the unobservable inputs.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. At February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Company had $4,137 and $871, respectively in cash that was not insured. As part of its cash management process, the Company performs periodic evaluations
of the relative credit standing of this financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in cash balances and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these unaudited
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s financial statements are based on a number of estimates, including an accrual for estimated administrative fees.
Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Per Common Share (“EPS”)
Basic net (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per common share includes the potential dilution that could occur upon exercise of the options and warrants to acquire common
stock computed using the treasury stock method which assumes that the increase in the number of shares is reduced by the number of shares which could have been repurchased by the Company with the proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants (which were assumed to have been made at the average market price of the common shares during the reporting period).
At February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Company had issued 32,927,000 and 24,021,000 common shares, after giving retroactive effect to the merger and had 938,000 and 400,000 outstanding options or warrants at February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) was
THERABIOGEN INC. |
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) |
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FEBRUARY 28, 2010 and 2009 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
effective for public companies for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS 95, Statement of Cash
Flows. SFAS 123(R) eliminates the option to use APB 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting and requires recording expense for stock compensation based on a fair value based method.
The adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations because since inception the Company has not entered into any share-based transactions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
Effective October 15, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) new Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting guidance under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Topic. The ASC does not
create new accounting and reporting guidance, rather it reorganizes U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 topics within a consistent structure. All guidance in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. Relevant portions of authoritative content, issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for SEC reporting entities, have been included in the ASC. After the effective date of the Codification, all non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature
not included in the ASC was superseded and deemed non-authoritative. Adoption of the Codification also changed how the U.S. GAAP is referenced in financial statements.
In its 2009 financial statements, the Company adopted new guidance to the “Business Combinations Topic” of the FASB ASC Topic 805, which was originally effective for fiscal years ending after November 1, 2008. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the financial statements presented.
In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under the “Financial Instruments Topic” of the ASC. This topic requires disclosure of the carrying amount and the fair value of all financial instruments for interim and annual financial statements of SEC-reporting entities (even if the financial instrument is not
recognized in the balance sheet), including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values and any changes in such methods and
assumptions. This topic also requires disclosures in summarized financial information in interim financial statements. The Company adopted this additional guidance in its 2009 financial statements. The adoption of this additional guidance did not have any impact on the financial statements presented.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This guidance also includes provisions for identifying circumstances
that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The provisions of this guidance are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. We adopted the provisions of this guidance during the year ended December 31, 2009 and its impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows, and results of operations was not significant.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments," which amends previous Topic 825 guidance to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim

periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance also amends previous guidance in FASB ASC Topic 270, "Interim Reporting," to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. We adopted the provisions of this guidance during the year ended December 31,
2009 and its impact on our disclosures was not significant.
In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance establishing general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. This guidance, which was incorporated into ASC Topic 855, "Subsequent Events," was effective in 2009. The Company adopted ASC Topic
855
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance establishing two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")—authoritative and nonauthoritative—and making the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. This guidance, which was incorporated into ASC Topic 105, "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," was effective in 2009. The adoption changed certain disclosure references to U.S. GAAP, but did not have any other impact on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – MERGER
On November 13, 2009, the Board of Directors of Kushi Resources, Inc. (“Registrant”) approved a merger agreement between Registrant and the former TheraBiogen, Inc., a Nevada corporation, under which the former TheraBiogen, Inc. would merge into Registrant, and Registrant would change its corporate name to TheraBiogen, Inc. The
merger and the corporate name change were approved unanimously by Registrant's shareholders and was approved by a majority of the shareholders of the former TheraBiogen, Inc. by written consent. On December 16, 2009, the Board of Directors of the former TheraBiogen, Inc. approved the merger, obtained written consent of a majority of the former TheraBiogen, Inc. shareholders, and then filed a definitive Information Statement with the SEC on Form 14C disclosing
the terms of the merger. The merger transaction closed on January 5, 2010, the effective date of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State for Nevada.
Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each share of common stock of former TheraBiogen, Inc. issued and outstanding at the time of the merger was converted into one share of the common stock of Kushi Resources, Inc. In the merger, Registrant changed its corporate name to TheraBiogen, Inc. Prior to the merger, Registrant
completed a 2.6 for 1 forward split of its common stock. The merger closed on January 5, 2010.
A total of 19,091,000 shares of Registrant were issued to the previous shareholders of TheraBiogen, Inc. in the merger. Each share of common stock of Registrant issued and outstanding at the time of the merger remained issued and outstanding after the merger. There were 5,230,000 shares Registrant's common stock issued
and outstanding which were forward split on the basis of 2.6 shares of the common stock for each outstanding share of common stock prior to the merger. As a result of the merger, the capital stock of the merged entity (new TheraBiogen, Inc.) is:

As a result of the merger and the corporate name change of Registrant to TheraBiogen, Inc., the common shares of Registrant remained listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol KUSI, although a new trading symbol TRAB has been approved for use due to the corporate name change.
The purchase consideration was determined by multiplying the 41.6 percent of total post merger shares acquired by former Kushi Resources, Inc. shareholders times the number of former TheraBiogen, Inc. shares outstanding at the time

No pro forma amounts are presented as the impact would not be material.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
All of the Company’s mineral claims are registered in the name of a former president of the Company and pursuant to a trust agreement are held in trust on behalf of the Company (see Note 5).
At February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 the Company was indebted to its former president in the amounts of $0 and $381, respectively.
During the quarter ended February 28, 2010, the former officers and directors, as well as certain shareholders, agreed, as part of the transfer of control of the Company reported on Form 14f filed with the SEC on February 28, 2010, to forgive certain indebtedness owed to them by the Company, and also agreed to pay certain outstanding payables
due as of February 28, 2010. The payment of the accounts payable was treated as a contribution to capital when completed during the quarter ended February 28, 2010, and the forgiveness of debt in the total amount of $45,320 has been treated as debt forgiveness income in the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 5 - UNPROVED MINERAL PROPERTIES
On January 30, 2006, the Company staked a mineral claim near Atlin, British Columbia, Canada, comprising an area of 410.65 hectares. The Company is required to incur approximately $2,600 (CDN$2,997) on or before January 30, 2010 and each year thereafter in exploration expenditures or pay the equivalent sum in cash in lieu of work, in order
to retain title to the claims. In January 2008, the Company paid $1,635 (CDN$1,643) in cash to the Province of British Columbia, in lieu of work, to retain title to the claims until January 30, 2009 and on January 5, 2009, the Company registered $12,000 CDN in exploration work performed on its unproved mineral properties with the Government of British Columbia, which extend the Company’s title to the claims until January 30, 2012.
