LI-ION MOTORS CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2010

Note 1. Financial statement presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Securities Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements.  Therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.

The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.  In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim period a fair statement of such operations.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

History and Nature of Business
Li-ion Motors Corp (formerly EV Innovations, Inc., the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 12, 2000. The “Company’s” original business was the exploration and development of mineral interests. The Company abandoned this business in 2003.

The Company is currently pursuing the development and marketing of electric powered vehicles and products based on the advanced lithium battery technology it has developed. As of July 31, 2009 the Company no longer considered itself a development stage company as planned principal operations have began in its primary line of business. The Company is organized by line of business and geographic area. The Company had two businesses, telecommunication services and the development and sale of electric powered vehicles.

On April 16, 2008, the Company sold their controlling interest of approximately 69% of the outstanding common stock in Zingo, Inc. (now Superlattice Power, Inc., “SPI”). Prior to April 16, 2008, SPI was a related party that provided telecommunication services to business and residential customers utilizing VOIP technology and currently is researching and developing rechargeable lithium ion batteries.

Effective April 15, 2008, the Company entered into a license agreement with SPI providing for their license to SPI of their patent applications and technologies for rechargeable lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles and other applications (“licensed products”). Under the license agreement, the Company has the right to purchase their requirements of lithium ion batteries from SPI, and their requirements of lithium ion batteries shall be supplied by SPI in preference to, and on a priority basis as compared with, supply and delivery arrangements in effect for other customers of SPI. The Company’s cost for lithium ion batteries purchased from SPI shall be SPI’s actual manufacturing costs for such batteries for the fiscal quarter of SPI in which the Company’s purchase takes place.

Under the terms of the license agreement, SPI has agreed to invest a minimum of $1,500,000 in each of the next two years in development of the technology for the Licensed Products. To date, investments have been made in the amount of $314,517 in the development of technology, and therefore, is not in compliance with its obligations under this covenant of the license agreement.  The Company has advised SPI in a letter dated October 1, 2009, that it will not give notice of default against SPI for their failure to comply with this covenant in the first year of the term of the license agreement.

Basis of presentation
The Company’s financial statements for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of April 30, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1.9 million and a deficiency of approximately $4.1 million.  In addition, during the year ended July 31, 2009, the Company defaulted on interest payments on a loan from Wyndom Capital Investments, Inc. (“Wyndom”) and the shares used as the sole collateral to secure the loan were used to extinguish the loan and all unpaid interest. Management recognized that the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing and revenue to cover expenses as the Company continues to incur losses.

The Company’s business is subject to most of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties, delays and unanticipated challenges encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, raising operating and development capital, and the marketing of a new product.  There is no assurance the Company will ultimately achieve a profitable level of operations.

The Company presently does not have sufficient liquid assets to finance its anticipated funding needs and obligations.  The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing and achieve a level of sales adequate to support its cost structure. Management is actively seeking additional capital to ensure the continuation of its current activities and complete its proposed activities. However, there is no assurance that additional capital will be obtained. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements included the accounts and records of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company does not have any special purpose entities. For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the company's ownership is less than 100 percent (100%), the outside stockholders' interests are shown as non-controlling interest.  The non-controlling interest of the company's earnings or loss is classified as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statement of operations.

The following is a listing of the Company's subsidiaries and its ownership interests:
 
Global Electric, Corp.
    67.57 %
R Electric Car, Co.
    67.57 %
Solium Power, Corp.
    67.57 %
Hybrid Technologies USA Distributing Inc.
    100.00 %
Hybrid Electric Vehicles India Pvt. Ltd.
    100.00 %

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value measurement

The Company utilizes the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting period.  The fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use of the asset or liability at the measurement date.  The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers are defined as follows:

 
8

 

Level 1 -   Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets

Level 2 -   Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable

Level 3 -   Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions

As of April 30, 2010, the Company held certain financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  These consisted of cash and cash equivalents. The Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 2 or Level 3 and there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the nine months ended April 30, 2010.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2010.

The Company has other financial instruments, such as receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities which have been excluded from the tables above.  Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying value of receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their fair values.  The Company did not have any other financial liabilities within the scope of the fair value disclosure requirements as of April 30, 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts receivable
The Company provides credit to customers in the normal course of business. An allowance for accounts receivable is estimated by management based in part on the aging of receivables and historical transactions. Periodically management reviews accounts receivable for accounts that appear to be uncollectible and writes off these uncollectible balances against the allowance accordingly.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is based on the specific identification method.

Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment are accounted for by accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives:

Deferred patent costs
The Company capitalizes costs directly incurred in pursuing patent applications as deferred patent costs. When such applications result in an issued patent, the related costs are amortized over the remaining legal life of the patents, which is assumed to be 17 years, using the straight-line method. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the issued patents and pending patent applications and if the Company determines to abandon a patent application, or an issued patent no longer has economic value, the unamortized balance in deferred patent costs relating to that patent is immediately expensed. As of April 30, 2010 there were only pending patent applications.

Stock based compensation
The Company issues stock options to employees and other certain service providers under stockholder approved stock option programs that provide the right to purchase the Company’s stock pursuant to stock purchase programs. The Company also issued common stock for services performed.  The fair value of the stock options issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.  The fair value of common stock issued for services is estimated on the date of issuance based on the value of the stock issued or the consideration received.  See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosures and discussions.

Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance contained in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition”, (“ASC 605”) and other relevant accounting literature.  Revenue is recognized when the product has been delivered and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, collection of the resulting receivable is deemed reasonably assured by management, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sale price is fixed and determinable.

Shipping and handling
Shipping and handling costs related to services and product sales are expensed as incurred.

Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Total advertising expenditures for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 and amounted to approximately $61,457 and $396,885, respectively.

Research and development
No set amount has been set aside for research and development (“R&D”) but all projects and purchases must be approved before being started or purchased. As of April 30, 2010, there have been expenses incurred for research and development. For the nine months ending  April 30, 2010, salaries, payroll taxes, and benefits amounted to approximately $977,738  in R&D, parts and supplies was approximately $55,329, shipping charges and battery management systems were approximately $15,270 and $8,869, respectively.

Concentration of risk
The Company maintains cash deposit accounts and certificates of deposits which at times may exceed federally insured limits. These accounts have not experienced any losses and the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.

Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates applicable to future years to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of reported assets and liabilities.

The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes is the net operating loss carry forward.

LI-ION MOTORS CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2010

Effective August 1, 2007, uncertain tax positions are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).

Long-lived assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposed of Long-lived Assets”, (“ASC 360-10-35”). The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts and circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The write down of the asset is charged to the period in which the impairment occurs.

Foreign currency translation
The functional currency for some foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at balance sheet date rates of exchange and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments in future periods will be recorded in Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The translation losses for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $3,898 and $1,511, respectively.

Comprehensive loss
The Company reports comprehensive loss in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 220-10-15, “Comprehensive Income”, and (“ASC 220-10-15”). For the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, the difference between net loss and comprehensive loss is foreign currency translation.

Loss per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the specified period.  Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares during the specified period. All potentially dilutive securities, which include options and warrants convertible into 0 and 1,019,000 common shares at April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been excluded from the computations, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently issued pronouncements
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company implemented additional interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, as required by FASB ASC Paragraph 825-10-65-1.  Prior to implementation, disclosures about fair values of financial instruments were only required to be disclosed annually.  As the required modifications only related to additional disclosures of fair values of financial instruments in interim financial statements, the adoption did not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, the Company must disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, in accordance with the requirements in FASB ASC Paragraph 855-10-50-1.  With regards to the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q, the Company has evaluated all subsequent events through June 14, 2010 (the date the Company’s financial statement are issued).
 
In September 2009, the FASB implemented certain modifications to FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, as a means to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets, the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows, and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. These modifications must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
 
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (the “Codification”).  The Codification has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Effective with the Company’s adoption on July 1, 2009, the Codification has superseded all prior non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative. As the adoption of the Codification only affected how specific references to GAAP literature have been disclosed in the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, it did not result in any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Updates to the FASB Codification Applicable to the Company

The FASB has published FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).

This Update also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments, about the attributes of investments included within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009.

Note 10. Going concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared based on the going concern principle. That principle anticipates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities through the ordinary course of business.  No adjustments have been made to reduce the value of any assets or record additional liabilities, if any, if the Company were to cease to exist. The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception. These operating losses have been funded by the issuance of capital, loans and advances. There are no guarantees that the Company will continue to be able to raise the funds necessary. Additionally, the lack of capital may limit the Company's ability to establish a viable business.

Note 11. Commitments and contingencies

Effective April 16, 2008, SPI agreed to lease approximately 5,000 square feet of space in the Company’s North Carolina facility at a rental rate of $2,500.00 per month and the monthly rental to be escalated five (5%) percent annually beginning April 16, 2009.  The leased space is suitable for, and utilized by SPI for, SPI’s developmental and manufacturing operations for licensed products pursuant to the license agreement. The leased space is leased on a month-to-month basis at a current monthly rental of $2,625. Effective April 16, 2010 the new rental rate is $2,756.25.  Although the lease was signed, the space is only 80% completed as of April 30, 2010. Also, effective April 16, 2008, the Company sold specified equipment and supplies related to the license agreement to SPI for the purchase price of $29,005. The Company also entered into a month to month lease agreement for $750 with SPI for renting offices in the Company’s Las Vegas corporate office.

Total rent income for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to approximately $30,375 and $29,250, respectively.

Surety bond
LMC applied to North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles for a manufacturing license. This application required a surety bond of $50,000 for three years which the Company acquired from Kaercher Campbell & Associates. LMC was licensed as a motor vehicle dealer to engage in the business of selling motor vehicles on March 9, 2009, until March 31, 2010, by the State of North Carolina DMV. LMC renewed its license effective March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011.

Legal proceedings

The Company is currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings. Quarterly, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure and if the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss.

An arbitration award in the amount of $70,803 was awarded to Keith Boucher against the Company for attorney’s fees and costs incurred in arbitration. A Judgment has been awarded to Keith Boucher.  The parties have agreed upon a monthly payment and the Company is current with the payments.

Barrett Lyon, an individual, has filed suit against the Company in the Superior Court of California, San Mateo County, for alleged breach of warranty for a vehicle he purchased from the Company seeking $68,222 in damages, plus attorney’s fees estimated in the range of $10,000 to $30,000.

F&C Promptly, Inc., a collection agency, filed in February 2009 a lawsuit against the Company in the District Court, Clark County, Nevada, for approximately $32,000 for collection of the account of the Law Offices of Richard McKnight assigned to F&C Promptly, Inc. for collection.  The Company has come to an agreement with F&C Promptly, Inc. and has agreed to $4,000 a month payment until paid in full.  The Company is current with payments.

Caudle & Spears has obtained a default judgment against the Company in Meckenberg County, North Carolina, General Court, in the amount of $17,686. This law firm represented us in our litigation against Martin Koebler, a former employee, whom we successfully sued for return of Company property and other damages. The Company is in settlement negotiations with Caudle & Spears, since its judgment against Martin Koebler is still in the collection process. A payment agreement has been reached in the amount of $2,500.00 per month with no interest until paid.  The Company is current with these payments.

The Company has been served with a tax lien dated March 3, 2010 from the Internal Revenue Service in the total amount of $251,928.14. Third quarter 2009 taxes are approximately $117,000, which are included in total due. The Company has a payment plan in place with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Note 12. Subsequent events

Stock Dividend - On April 20, 2010 the Board of Directors approved a 20% restricted stock dividend for the holders of our common stock, consisting of one share of common stock for each five shares held of record on the May 28, 2010 record date.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  We use words such as anticipate,  believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking  statements. You should not place too much  reliance on these  forward-looking  statements. Our actual results are likely to differ  materially from those  anticipated in these forward-looking  statements  for many  reasons, including the risks faced by us described in this section.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2010 AS COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2009

We had sales of $484,505 and incurred a net loss of $2,067,078 for the nine months ended April 30, 2010, which included general and administrative costs of $1,022,095 and research and development expense of $1,057,206.

Our net loss for the  nine-month  period  ended April 30, 2010 decreased from the comparative period in fiscal 2009 (from $4,697,644 in 2009 to $2,067,078      in 2010). This was primarily due to an decrease in general and administrative expense from $3,144,508 in the nine-month period ended April 30, 2009, to $1,022,095 for the comparable period in 2010, a higher research and development expense of $1,057,206 in 2010 compared to $820,667 in 2009; and an increase in sales from $243,141 in the nine-month period ended April 30, 2009, to $484,505 in 2010.  Cost of sales in 2010 was $334,743, as compared to $403,322 in 2009. In 2010, we also incurred interest expense of $295,423 related to loans payable, as compared with $634,747 for the comparable period in 2009.

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2010 AS COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2009

We incurred  a net loss of $542,475 for the three months ended April 30, 2010, which included general and administrative costs of $275,731 and research and development expense of $400,432.

We had sales of $358,596 for the three month period ended April 30, 2010, as compared with sales of 22,085 in the prior period. Our net loss for the three-month  period  ended  April 30, 2010, decreased from the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 (from $3,757,728 for the prior period to $542,475 in 2010). This was primarily due to lower general and administrative costs of $275,731 in the three months ended April 30, 2010, as compared with $2,839,413 in the prior period. We incurred interest expense of $125,704 in 2010, as compared to $213,649 in the prior period.  We incurred research and development costs of $400,432 in 2010, as compared to $657,712 in the prior period.

Electric Vehicle Operations

We convert vehicles in our developmental facility in Mooresville, North Carolina. Our team of highly qualified engineers oversee groups of electrical and mechanical staff. This 40,000 square foot facility has room for both conversions and storage with the potential for future growth, enabling us to work on many projects and vehicles concurrently.

With the license of our lithium battery technology described below, we are concentrating on sales of our vehicles.

Effective April 15, 2008, we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Superlattice Power, Inc. (“Superlattice”), providing for our license to Superlattice of our patent applications and technologies for rechargeable lithium ion batteries for hybrid vehicles and other applications (“Licensed Products”).  Under the License Agreement, we have the right to purchase our requirements of lithium ion batteries from Superlattice, and our requirements of lithium ion batteries shall be supplied by Superlattice in preference to, and on a priority basis as compared with, supply and delivery arrangements in effect for other customers of Superlattice. Our cost for lithium ion batteries purchased from Superlattice is Superlattice’s actual manufacturing costs for such batteries for the fiscal quarter of Superlattice in which our purchase takes place.

 
19

 
 
Superlattice agreed to invest a minimum of $1,500,000 in each of the first two years in the development of the technology for the Licensed Products. In the initial year under the License Agreement, Superlattice invested approximately $264,043 in the development of technology, and therefore is not in compliance with its obligations under this covenant of the license agreement.  We have advised Superlattice in a letter dated October 1, 2009, that we will not give notice of default against Superlattice for its failure to comply with this covenant in the first year of the term of the License Agreement.
 
Effective April 16, 2008, Superlattice agreed to lease approximately 5,000 square feet of space (“Leased Space”) in our North Carolina facility, such Leased Space to be suitable for, and utilized by Superlattice for, Superlattice’s developmental and manufacturing operations for Licensed Products pursuant to the License Agreement.  The Leased Space is leased on a month-to-month basis at a monthly rental of $2,500, the monthly rental to be escalated five (5%) percent annually (currently $2,625). Effective April 16, 2008, we also sold to Superlattice for the purchase price of $29,005, specified equipment and supplies related to the Licensed Field.

Commercial Initiatives

The Company is discussing potential relationships with several groups relating to manufacturing plants. On March 9, 2009 the State of North Carolina issued a manufacturing license to the Company. We are manufacturing our own original design vehicles with VIN’s. We are also continuing with vehicle conversions. The LiV series electric vehicles have been tested and continue under review by a number of government agencies. The LiV Wise is available for purchase and listed in the catalogue of the United States General Services Administration.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our incorporation, we have financed our operations almost exclusively through the sale of our common shares to investors and borrowings. We expect to finance operations through the sale of equity in the foreseeable future as we receive minimal revenue from our current business operations. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in arranging financing on acceptable terms.

At April 30, 2010, we had liabilities of $6,661,309, as compared with $5,307,066 at July 31, 2009; and a working capital deficiency of $1,873,399 and a stockholders deficiency of $4,131,256. As of April 30, 2010, we had $19,268 cash on hand. In fiscal 2009, we also defaulted under our loan agreement with Wyndom Capital Investments, Inc. which, as its sole recourse under the loan agreement, took possession of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock held as collateral.

Our property, plant and equipment decreased to $1,935,308 at April 30, 2010, as compared with $1,989,981 at July 31, 2009.

We used net cash in operating activities of $(776,143) in the nine months ended April 30, 2010, as compared with $(1,582,300) in the comparable period in 2009, and cash used in  investing activities was ($6,716) in 2010, as compared with ($121,409) in 2009.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2010, we received net proceeds of $1,294,433 from the issuance of promissory notes for debt, and we made net repayments of advances from related parties of $(497,488). Total cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 was $796,945, as compared with $1,626,979 in 2009.

On May 5, 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Crystal Capital Ventures Inc. (“Crystal”). The loan agreement provides for loans to the Company of up to $3,000,000, with a minimum initial loan of $500,000 on May 19, 2008. The notes bear interest payable monthly in arrears at the rate of 10% per annum and mature and are due and payable May 4, 2011. The loans under the loan agreement are secured by shares of the Company’s common stock held by Crystal. The Company is required to issue shares as collateral at the rate of two and one half shares of the Company’s common stock for each dollar principal amount of the loan advanced to the Company.  Following disbursement of the first $1,000,000 of funds pursuant to the loan agreement, on May 27, 2008, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock as collateral to Crystal. After the 1:3 reverse stock split in February 2009 the Company issued Crystal an additional 5,000,000 shares to make their shares held as collateral total 7,500,000. After the 1:2 reverse stock split in February 2010 the Company issued Crystal an additional 3,749,999 shares to make their shares held as collateral total 7,500,000.

As of April 30, 2010, the Company has borrowed the full $3,000,000 under the loan agreement from Crystal Capital. Interest expense to Crystal Capital was approximately $236,063 for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and $0 for the nine months ended April 30, 2009, respectively. The Company is now current with the interest payments on the loan.

 
20

 
The current balance as of April 30, 2010 due to Crystal Capital is $3,000,000.

On February 26, 2010, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Frontline Asset Management Inc. The loan provides for payments to the Company of $2,000,000 with interest at a fixed annual rate of 12%. On May 1, 2010, an Addendum to the original Promissory Note, dated February 26, 2010, amended the term of the note to provide for interest only payments, due on the last day of every month until the maturity date of March 30, 2011, when all principal and accrued interest is due and payable. Interest expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 was $5,929 and $0 respectively.

On April 15, 2010 the Company entered into a loan agreement for $2,000,000 with Winsor Capital Inc. The loan provides for loans of up to $2,000,000 to the Company with an initial installment of $250,000 and additional installments of up to $1,750,000 with a 10% interest rate. The entire loan amount is secured by 10,000,000 shares of the Company common stock. Each loan installment matures three years from issuance of the installment. The loan has an anti-dilution clause for the stock issued as collateral. Stock is issued and delivered proportionately to the delivery of funds. Interest expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 was $4,399 was $0 respectively.

Liquidity Issues

The Company has substantial obligations to the Internal Revenue Service, in the total amount of $251,928.14, and one judgment and two arbitration awards against us. The Company has a payment plan in place with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for delinquent payroll taxes, and with the three judgment creditors. There is no assurance that we will be able raise additional required capital to meet obligations arising from the settlements of these litigation matters, as well as the settlement payments with the IRS, and continue operations.
 
Our current operating funds are less than necessary for commercialization of our planned products, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We anticipate that up to $5,000,000 of additional working capital will be required over the next 12 months for market introduction of these products through joint venture partners or otherwise. We do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet these anticipated obligations, which are in addition to payments we will owe to judgment creditors and the IRS.

We do not currently have any other arrangements for financing, and we may not be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor sentiment. Market factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.

Our auditors are of the opinion that our continuation as a going concern is in doubt. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from our shareholders and other related parties.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ISSUES

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about 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.

Other Matters

Recently Issued Pronouncements

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company implemented additional interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, as required by FASB ASC Paragraph 825-10-65-1. Prior to implementation, disclosures about fair values of financial instruments were only required to be disclosed annually. As the required modifications only related to additional disclosures of fair values of financial instruments in interim financial statements, the adoption did not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 
21

 
 
Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, the Company must disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, in accordance with the requirements in FASB ASC Paragraph 855-10-50-1. With regards to the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q, the Company has evaluated all subsequent events through June 14, 2010 (the date the Company’s financial statement are issued).
 
In September 2009, the FASB implemented certain modifications to FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, as a means to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets, the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows, and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. These modifications must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
 
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (the “Codification”).  The Codification has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Effective with the Company’s adoption on July 1, 2009, the Codification has superseded all prior non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative. As the adoption of the Codification only affected how specific references to GAAP literature have been disclosed in the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, it did not result in any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Updates to the FASB Codification Applicable to the Company

The FASB has published FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This Update amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This Update also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments, about the attributes of investments included within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Investments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates.  We do not have significant short-term investments, and due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that there is not a material risk exposure.  Our debt is at fixed interest rates.

Credit Risk - Our accounts receivables are subject, in the normal course of business, to collection risks. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of collection risks. As a result we do not anticipate any material losses in this area.

 
22

 

Item 4(T). Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting her to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.
