Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements


NOTE A: NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Basis of Presentation


The unaudited condensed financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and the accounting policies in its Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009 and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.


In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations presented for the period ended July 31, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.


Financial data presented herein are unaudited.



Nature of Organization


The Company was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on February 3, 1986.  From November of 1990 through July 31, 2000, the Company was engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of purified human antigens (“Diagnostics”) and the development of therapeutic products (“Therapeutics”) and related technologies.  The Company’s sales were solely attributable to the sales of purified human antigens.   


Following the transfer of its Diagnostics operations in August of 2000, the Company began devoting all efforts to its therapeutic drug development and related technologies.  A present target area for the Company’s therapeutic products is the development and commercialization of stem cell technology for use in diabetes and cancer research and treatment.  The Company has been granted a patent for its proprietary technology related to the immortalization of human cells and subsequently expanded this technology to include patented and patent-pending technology involving generation of stem cells with potential application to a variety of commercial opportunities including the treatment of degenerative diseases and drug discovery.


The Company also owns patented technology related to treatment of human infertility.  The Company has been granted a US patent for its process to manufacture VITROPIN™.  VITROPIN™ is a highly purified urinary follicle-stimulating hormone (“FSH”) preparation produced according to the Company’s patented purification process.

The Company also owns patented technology that provides protection to a specific cell line derived from human pancreatic tissues that gives rise to structures comparable to the Islets of Langerhans (beta islets).  These islets also synthesize and secrete insulin in response to elevated glucose levels, as do beta islets contained within pancreatic tissue.  Vitro has also developed a process for the commercial production its cell line-derived islets.  Furthermore, the Company previously obtained regulatory approval for an animal protocol to determine reversal of Type I diabetes, a critical step in the demonstration of efficacy.  This patent affords an exclusive proprietary position to the Company for a new cellular therapy to treat Type I diabetes.


Basis of Presentation – Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has suffered significant losses since inception and has working capital and shareholders’ deficits at July 31, 2010, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and generate revenues and profits from operations.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and the year ended October 31, 2009, the president and chairman has advanced the Company funds for working capital on an “as needed” basis.  During the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and the year ended October 31, 2009, the president and chairman advanced the company a total of $123,172 for working capital purposes.  There is no assurance that these advances will continue in the future. In December 2009 the Company raised $87,500 through a private placement of common stock and warrants.  Also, during the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company raised $40,000 in working capital through sales of common stock to private investors, and $8,500 through sales of common stock to its president.

 

The Company has formed strategic alliances and is presently engaged in discussions with other companies that have expressed interest in the commercialization of the Company’s stem cell technology. Management intends to pursue these and other opportunities with the objective of establishing strategic alliances to fund further development and commercialization of its key technologies. Also, the Company has new stem cell products that were launched during fiscal year 2009.  Initial revenues from these products have been established and management intends to pursue enhanced revenue generation from this product line and development of other related products to the fullest extent possible given its resources. These business development activities are described in greater detail elsewhere in this report (See: Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.) There is no assurance that any of these initiatives will yield sufficient capital to maintain the Company’s operations. In such an event, management intends to pursue various strategic alternatives.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Use of estimates


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash equivalents


For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers.  The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.  At July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 no allowances were recorded and all amounts due from customers were considered collectible.


Inventory


Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market.  Finished goods inventories include certain allocations of labor and overhead.  At July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, finished goods included $11,865 and $9,204, respectively, of labor and overhead allocations.  Inventories consisted of the following:



 

July 31, 2010

 

October 31,

 2009

Raw materials

 $   7,199

 

 $     6,987

Finished goods

17,339

 

          10,776

 

 $  24,538

 

 $     17,763



Research and development


The Company’s operations are predominantly in research and development (“R&D”).  These costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of costs for: salaries, overhead and occupancy, contract services and other outside costs, quality assurance and analytical testing. As the Company



10





has now also expanded its operations to include manufacturing and R&D, we are  now reporting cost of goods sold, including estimates of labor, materials and overhead allocations to the production of specific products. 


Property, equipment and depreciation


Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.  Depreciation expense totaled $12,473 and $9,686 for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


Upon retirement or disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.  Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized.


Patents, deferred costs and amortization


Patents consist of costs incurred to acquire issued patents.  Amortization commences once a patent is granted.  Costs incurred to acquire patents that have not been issued are reported as deferred costs.  If a patent application is denied or expires, the costs incurred are charged to operations in the year the application is denied or expires.


The Company amortizes its patents over a period of ten years.  Amortization expense totaled $2,351 and $2,647 for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.  Estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the next five years is as follows:

During the nine months ended July 31, 2010 the Company incurred costs totaling $739 relating to the filing of a new United States patent application entitled “POU5-F1 Expression in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells” and the development of new technology related to generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).  These costs are included as deferred patent costs in the accompanying balance sheet at July 31, 2010.


Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets


The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is determined as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.


The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of it long-lived assets for possible impairment.  At October 31, 2009 the Company determined that one of its patents named “Immortalized cell lines and methods of making the same” was impaired and as such recognized an impairment charge of $8,551 on this patent on October 31, 2009.  The Company recorded no asset impairment charges during the nine months ended July 31, 2010 or 2009.  A contingency exists with respect to these matters, the ultimate resolution of which cannot presently be determined.


Income taxes


The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.




12





Revenue recognition


The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.


Advertising Costs


The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred.  Advertising costs were $13,080 and $1,216 for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


Fair value of financial instruments


The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term obligations consisting of various capital lease obligations approximates its carrying value.


Concentrations of credit risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable.  As of July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no amounts of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.


Net loss per share


The Company reports net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents.  Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents.  Common stock options and warrants outstanding at July 31, 2010 and 2009 were not included in the diluted loss per share as all 1,543,500 and 1,605,864 options, respectively, were anti-dilutive.  Therefore, basic and diluted losses per share at July 31, 2010 and 2009 were equal.


Stock-based compensation


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share based payment arrangements, and requires all entities to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting for share based payment transactions with employees.  Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the holder is required to provide services in exchange for the award, i.e., the vesting period.




13





Recent accounting standards

The FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification is effective for all interim and annual financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.  The ASC is now the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.  The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Our accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.  However, we have conformed references to specific accounting standards in these notes to our consolidated financial statements to the appropriate section of ASC.

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2010 and 2009, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.


NOTE B: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Advances and accrued interest payable to officer


During the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s chief executive officer advanced the Company a total of $85,782 used for working capital, and during the nine months ended July 31, 2010 an additional $42,200 of working capital advances were made by the officer.  The advances are uncollateralized, due on demand and accrue interest on the unpaid principal at a rate of 10% per annum.  Accrued interest payable on the advances totaled $12,621 and $5,018 at April 30, 2010 and October 31, 2009, respectively.  The total advances plus accrued interest totaling $140,604 and $90,800 at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, respectively, are included as “Advances and accrued interest payable to officer” in the accompanying financial statements.


Employment agreements and accrued compensation


Effective May 1, 2008, the Company entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement with its sole officer.  The Agreement establishes annual base salaries of $80,000, $85,000, and $90,000 over the three years of the Agreement.  The Agreement also provides for incentive compensation based on the achievement of minimum annual product sales and an option to purchase one million shares of the Company’s common stock that includes contingent vesting requirements. The employment agreement includes changes in control given exercise of underlying stock options and also includes severance provisions.


The Company accrued the salaries of its officer through April 30, 2008 under an old agreement due to a lack of working capital.  Accrued salaries and payroll taxes totaled $1,326,428 and $1,258,177 at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, respectively.  Dr. Musick’s accrued salaries totaled $1,077,482 and $1,012,482 as of July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, respectively.  Dr. Musick’s salary is allocated as follows: 70% to research and development and 30% to administration.




14





In addition, accrued salaries for a previous officer of the Company totaled $200,833 at July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009.


Total accrued payroll taxes on the above salaries totaled $48,113 and $44,862 at April 30, 2010 and October 31, 2009, respectively.


Conversion of debt and accrued interest to officer


During the period from August 2002, to October 2007, the president loaned the Company a total of $168,150 through various notes that had also accrued interest in the amount of $35,483.   In October 2007, these notes and the accrued interest were consolidated into a single note of $203,633, and accrued interest on the unpaid principle at a rate of 10% per annum.  Additional interest of $15,170 had accrued on this note, and the total balance of $218,803 was included in “Note payable and accrued interest payable to officer” in the accompanying financial statements.  This note was collateralized by a first lien on the FSH patents owned by the Company, the same collateral that had secured a prior note between the Company and the officer.


On July 29, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 1,238,176 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the notes payable plus accrued interest to an officer not to exceed $225,000.  At that time the Note was cancelled effective July 29, 2008.  The exchange was completed on February 10, 2009.  A total of $224,333, representing the balance of the note payable and accrued interest, plus the outstanding balance of the indebtedness to the officer of $5,530 was exchanged for 1,238,176 shares of the Company’s common stock.


Common stock sales


In November 2008, the Company sold 226,667 shares of its common stock to an officer of the Company for $8,500, or $.0375 per share.  The transaction was recorded at fair value, which was determined to be 75% of the quoted market price on the day of the approval of sale of stock due to the restricted nature of the shares.


Office lease


On July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a five-year non-cancelable operating lease for a facility located in Golden, Colorado.  The facility has been leased from a company that is owned by the president’s wife.


Future minimum rental payments for the fiscal years ending are as follows:

At October 31, 2009, deferred taxes consisted of a net tax asset of $1,911,591, due to operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences of $7,762,724, which was fully allowed for in the



16





valuation allowance of $1,911,591.  The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery.  The changes in the valuation allowance for the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled $58,623 and $168,317, respectively.  Net operating loss carryforwards will expire in various years through 2029.


The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized.  At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.


Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.



NOTE D: LINES OF CREDIT


The Company has a $12,500 line of credit of which $-0- was unused at July 31, 2010.  The interest rate on the credit line was 18.00% at July 31, 2010.  The credit line is collateralized by the Company’s checking account.  Principal and interest payments are due monthly.


The Company also has five credit cards with a combined credit limit of $56,000, of which $752 was unused at July 31, 2010.  The interest rates on the credit cards range from 10.24% to 29.99% as of July 31, 2010.  In addition, one of the Company’s credit cards was closed by the creditor in May 2009.  At July 31, 2009 the account had a balance of $24,928 and carries an annual interest rate of 34.99%.


NOTE E: CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS


In July 2007, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement to acquire laboratory equipment.  The Company is obligated to make 3 monthly payments of $25 and monthly payments of $382 through August 2012.  


In June 2008, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement, also for the acquisition of laboratory equipment.  The Company is obligated to make monthly payments of $830 through May 2012.


In July 2009, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement, also for the acquisition of laboratory equipment.  The Company is obligated to make monthly payments of $570 through June 2011.

NOTE F: SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT


Preferred Stock


The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock.  These shares may be issued in series with such rights and preferences as may be determined by the Board of Directors.


Sale of common stock


In February 2009, the Company sold 250,000 shares of its common stock to an investor for $25,000, or $.10 per share.  Also in February 2009, the Company completed the sale of 300,000 shares of its common stock to one investor for $15,000, or $.05 per share, which was negotiated in January 2009.  Proceeds from the sales of common stock were used for general working capital purposes.  The transaction was recorded at fair value, which was determined to be 75% of the quoted market price on the day prior to the negotiated sale of stock, due to the restricted nature of the shares.


Sale of Common Stock and Warrants


On December 29, 2009 the Company sold an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock together with an aggregate of 500,000 warrants for $87,500 to three investors.  The warrants are exercisable for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.175 per share.


The Company applied the provisions of ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and related standards for the accounting of the valuation of the common stock warrants issued as part of the private placement of common stock completed on December 29, 2010. Accordingly, the Company recorded a warrant liability upon the issuance of its common stock, equal to the estimated fair market value of the various features of the warrants.  The initial warrant liability of $75,000 represented a


18





non-cash adjustment to the carrying value of the related financial instruments.  The warrants are exercisable upon issuance, and expire on December 29, 2010, and as such the liability is classified as a current liability at July 31, 2010.  The liability is adjusted quarterly to the estimated fair market value based upon then current market conditions, and any change, if any, in the estimated fair market value is charged to the Company’s operating results.

  

The following assumptions were utilized to determine the estimated fair value of the warrants upon issue:


Expected volatility

 

142%

Contractual term

 

1 year

Risk free interest rate

 

0.47%

Expected dividend rate

 

0%

   

The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $32,330 at July 31, 2010.  As such, an adjustment to the warrant liability of $42,670 was recorded with a corresponding adjustment to the Company’s operating results for the nine months ended July 31, 2010.  The following assumptions were utilized to determine the estimated fair value of the warrants at July 31, 2010:



Expected volatility

Common stock issued for services


On March 25, 2008, the Company issued a consultant 12,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation to serve on the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board (“SAB”) for a period of two years.  The transaction was valued at $2,400, or $.20 per share, based on the fair value of the stock on the transaction date.  The transaction is being expensed over the period of the service.  As of July 31, 2010, the entire $2,400 has been expensed.


In February 2009, the Company appointed Dr. Pamela L. Rice to its Scientific Advisory Board.  The Company issued to Dr. Rice 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation for her commitment to serve on the SAB.  The transaction was valued at $1,800, or $.15 per share based on the fair value of the stock on the transaction date.  As of July 31, 2010 a total of $1,350 had been expensed, and $450 is included as “Services paid with common stock” in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.


In February 2010, the Company appointed Mr. Richard Huebner to its Board of Directors.  The Company issued to Mr. Huebner 106,383 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation for his commitment to serve on the Company’s board of directors.  The transaction was valued at $25,000, or $.235 per share based on the fair value of the stock on the transaction date.  Of the total



19





transaction amount, $15,000 was considered as incentive to serve as a director, and as such the amount was charged to operations as stock compensation expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2010.  The remaining $10,000 was considered as compensation to be earned during his service in 2010.   As of July 31, 2010 a total of $5,833 had been expensed, and $4,167 is included as “Services paid with common stock” in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.


Also in February 2010, the Company issued 42,553 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Erik Van Horn, Director as compensation to be earned during his service in 2010.  The transaction was valued at $10,000, or $.235 per share based on the fair value of the stock on the transaction date.  As of July 31, 2010 a total of $5,833 had been expensed, and $4,167 is included as “Services paid with common stock” in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.


On October 29, 2009, the Company agreed to convert certain amounts due to a consultant who provides various professional accounting services.  As a result of the agreement, $6,700 of amounts due the consultant was converted to 36,216 shares of common stock at a price of $0.185 per share, which approximated the market value of the stock on the date of the transaction.


On December 21, 2009 the Company agreed to convert to common stock certain amounts due an attorney who provides various legal services to the Company.  As a result, $15,000 of amounts due the attorney was converted to 85,714 shares of common stock at a price of $0.175 per share, which approximated the market value of the stock on the date of the transaction.


Stock options granted to officer


On May 1, 2008, the Company granted a stock option to its president to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.19 per share.  On the grant date, the traded market value of the stock was $.19 per share.  The options vest upon the achievement of certain contingencies.  None of the contingencies have been met, and as a result, no stock-based compensation was recorded for the options for the nine months ended July 31, 2010 or 2009.  The fair value of the options will be recorded as stock-based compensation upon achievement of these contingencies. The weighted average exercise price and weighted average fair value of these options on the grant date were $.19 and $.19, respectively.  


The fair value of the options was determined to be $189,000, and was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


Risk-free interest rate

3.68%

Dividend yield

0.00%

Volatility factor

228.72%

Weighted average expected life

6.5 years



Incentive plans


Effective December 2, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which replaced the Company’s 1992 Stock Option Plan.  The purpose of the Plan is to



20





attract and retain qualified personnel, to provide additional incentives to employees, officers, consultants and directors, and to promote the Company’s business.  The Plan authorizes total awards of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Awards may take the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock bonuses and other stock grants. If an award made under the Plan expires, terminates, is canceled or settled in cash without the issuance of all shares of common stock covered by the award, those shares will be available for future awards under the Plan. Awards may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No awards may be granted under the Plan after September 30, 2010.


The Plan is administered by the Company's Board of Directors, which may delegate its authority to a committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to select individuals to receive awards, to determine the time and type of awards, the number of shares covered by the awards, and the terms and conditions of such awards in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In making such determinations, the Board of Directors may take into account the recipient's current and potential contributions and any other factors the Board of Directors considers relevant. The recipient of an award has no choice regarding the form of a stock award. The Board of Directors is authorized to establish rules and regulations and make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable at a price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Unless otherwise specified, the options expire ten years from the date of grant.

c.

100,000 shares upon the receipt of $100,000 or more in capital funding of the Company based upon Vitro’s current business plan or subsequent versions thereof.  This event occurred during fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 and the Company issued 100,000 shares to its consultant on March 27, 2008.


Compensation for the successful sale of Vitro’s products, patent licenses or other revenue-generating event shall be based on industry standards and include a gross sales commission of 15% in addition to the compensation described above.


On June 3, 2009 the Company entered into a business development consulting agreement with Seraphim Life Sciences Consulting LLC, to provide services primarily designed to identify and bring to Vitro potential industrial partners that could benefit from Vitro’s technologies.  The agreement entitles the consultant to performance based compensation in the amount of 8% of all consideration received by the Company resulting from the consultant’s services.  The agreement also provides for compensation at hourly rates for services not considered project specific as may be requested by Vitro.  The agreement may be terminated at any time by either party with thirty days written notice.  As of July 31, 2010 no services have been performed and no compensation has been paid under the agreement.


On July 27, 2009 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with SK Helsel & Associates LLC to provide certain public relations and media services.  The agreement provides compensation in the total amount of $2,500 per press release, to be paid with a combination of common stock and



22





cash.  The agreement also provides for other related hourly based consulting services to be provided on an as-needed basis as requested by Vitro.  As of July 31, 2010 a total of $3,719 in cash and 7,880 shared of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $0.25 per share had been paid the consultant under the term of the agreement.



NOTE H: JOINT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS


On May 29, 2010 the Company executed an Agreement with Mokshagundam Biotechnologies for the development of a medium formulation for growth of marine invertebrates as a potential food source.  Initially, a basal medium formulation consisting of macro nutritional substances is to be developed and this will be supplemented with growth factors commonly used in stem cell media formulations.  The Agreement provides for the Company to provide a pilot batch of medium for testing consisting of macro-nutritional support plus a mixture of common growth factors necessar for in-vitro support of self-renewal in stem cells of higher organisms.  The Agreement provides for a payment of $5,000 to the Company upon execution of the Agreement as an advance for the product development.  As of July 31, 2010 the product was still in development, and as such the entire $5,000 is included in the accompanying balance sheet as deferred revenue.  This revenue will be recognized upon delivery of the product to Mokshagundam Biotechnologies in the fourth quarter.


On April 27, 2010 the Company executed an Agreement for Joint Product Development, Manufacture and Distribution (“Agreement”) with HemoGenix, Inc., a privately held biotechnology firm located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  The Agreement provides for the joint manufacture and distribution of stem cell analysis tools. HemoGenix owns patented and patent-pending technology for analysis of stem cells known as the HALO® assay platform which is based on advanced measurement of ATP cellular content. HALO® assays are now industry standard methods for quality and potency determination of hematopoietic stem cells and also allow sophisticated analysis of toxic effects of drugs and new drug candidates including cancer chemotherapeutic agents. The agreement provides for the expansion of assay platforms from HemoGenix, in particular, LUMENESC for mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and LumiSTEM for induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). IPS technology allows the use of reprogrammed adult cells to achieve properties of embryonic stem cells including the ability to differentiate into any type of cell in the body without use or sacrifice of embryos and as a consequence, any of the ethical or religious issues involved with the use of embryonic stem cells.


NOTE I: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.


On September 8, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement to Convert Debt with the Company’s legal counsel in satisfaction of $10,000 in unpaid fees for his services.  As a result, the Company has issued 71,429 shares of its common stock valued at $0.14 per share, which approximated market value on and around the date of the Agreement.




23





Also on September 8, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement to Convert Debt with the Company’s accounting consultant in satisfaction of $8,300 in unpaid fees for his services.  As a result, the Company has issued 59,286 shares of its common stock valued at $0.14 per share, which approximated market value on and around the date of the Agreement.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Introduction


This section discusses the financial condition of Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) at July 31, 2010 and compares it to the Company’s financial condition at October 31, 2009.  It also discusses the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine-month period ending July 31, 2010 and 2009.  This information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, including the audited financial statements and notes contained therein.


Certain statements contained herein and subsequent oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s plan of business operations, potential contractual arrangements, and receipt of working capital, anticipated revenues and related expenditures.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, acceptability of the Company’s products in the market place, general economic conditions, receipt of additional working capital, the overall state of the biotechnology industry and other factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 under the caption, “Risk Factors.”  Most these factors are outside the control of the Company.  Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  Except as otherwise required by applicable securities statutes or regulations, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


During the later part of 2009 the Company gained working capital through sales of its securities and debt financing while it continues to experience a working capital deficit and shortage of liquidity.  However, our revenues derived from sale of product and services are beginning to increase and a key goal of management is to achieve profitability as quickly as possible.  Numerous opportunities are available for the Company to expand its revenue as explained in detail elsewhere in this report.  As our revenues continue to expand, management intends to reduce corporate liabilities and restore its working capital. At July 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,640,791, consisting of current assets of $27,116 and current liabilities of $1,667,907.  This represents a decrease in working capital of $148,128 from fiscal year end October 31, 2009.  This decrease in working capital was due to increased liabilities ($151,769) from operating expenses, including expensed stock purchase warrants and



25





increased indebtedness to its president.  The total decrease in working capital was offset by increased inventory.


Current assets increased by $3,647 while current liabilities increased by $47,747 during the quarter ended July 31, 2010.  The increase in current liabilities, which is $61,081 less than the previous quarter, was due to operating expenses and was diminished by $26,070 from reduced stock purchase warrants expense.  The Company reported a $1,570,664 deficit in shareholders’ equity at July 31, 2010, which was $133,210 more than the deficit reported at October 31, 2009.  The majority of the working capital deficit and the shareholders’ equity deficit is due to accrued salaries and notes due to the president and CEO which management intents to reduce in the future through appropriate measures.  


During the nine months ended July 31, 2010, the Company’s financing activities provided $119,805 in cash to support our operating activities.  During that time, the Company’s operations used $105,266 in cash which was very similar to the $106,196 of cash used by operations during the nine months ended July 31, 2010.  The Company reported an overall increase in cash for the first nine months of 2010 of $593 that was $706 less than the increase in cash for the first nine months of 2009.  Cash raised from financing activities was derived through the sale of an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock together with an aggregate of 500,000 warrants for $87,500 to three investors.  The warrants are exercisable for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance (12-29-09) to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.175 per share. Additional cash was derived from cash advances to the Company from its president.  Cash usage reflects a minimum cash requirement of about $12,000 per month for operations. Cash requirements for operations have been cut to a minimum level by previous cost reduction measures and are unlikely to be further reduced without additional curtailment or suspension of operations.

 

The Company had lines of credit payable totaling $92,757 with $752 available in credit at July 31, 2010.  The Company must continue to service debt and the Chairman personally guarantees most of the Company debt.


The Company continues to pursue various activities to obtain additional capitalization, as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2009.  A current focus is product sales derived from launch of its “Tools of Stem Cell and Drug Development™” product line during 2009.  The Company continued its attendance at trade shows to gain additional market exposure for its products and services by attending the International Society for Stem Cell annual convention during the 3rd quarter. Together with HemoGenix, Inc, with whom the Company formed a strategic alliance in April 2010, we jointly exhibited at this meeting and launched new products for advanced testing of stem cells known as mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, which are types of adult stem cells of considerable research and clinical interest.  We established contact with numerous prospective customers and also engaged in discussions with several prospective collaborators. From these initial contacts, the Company has on-going discussions regarding the establishment of a distribution contract with a leading global supplier of life sciences products.  The Company



26





intends to pursue this opportunity to the full extent possible since management believes this is a strong opportunity to realize increased revenue in the immediate future.  We further engaged in discussions with a partner for the development of media for use in the production of stem cell-derived food while at the ISSCR, together with other potential collaborators and customers.  Product sales increased compared to the previous quarter (See “Results of Operations”) and we continue to focus our efforts on increased revenue growth during the Company’s 4th fiscal quarter and beyond. Management is engaged with numerous current and prospective customers regarding product sales and there are several opportunities for collaboration with other firms and university researchers working in the stem cell sector that may lead to strategic alliances further expanding sales of the Company’s products and development of new products targeting stem cell research and drug development.  Also, there is renewed interest by an offshore third party in commercialization of the Company’s fertility drug product and technology portfolio.  While management intends to pursue these and other appropriate business development opportunities, there can be no assurance that these opportunities will yield enhanced business expansion for the Company.

Results of Operations


During the three months ended July 31, 2010, the Company realized a net loss of $39,458 or $0.00 per share on $5,892 in revenue.  An additional $5,000 for contract research was received during this period and is to be reported as revenue during the 4th quarter when the deliverables of this contract were actually shipped to the client.    The net loss was $10,565 less than the net loss for the third quarter ended July 31, 2009 and also $40,446 less than the net loss of the previous 2010 quarter.  The decrease in net loss in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter in 2009 was primarily due to the valuation of stock purchase warrants which off-set increased operating expenses. Total operating expenses were $12,745 more in the third quarter 2010 than the comparable period in 2009.  Research and development expenses increased by $6,141 and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6,604 as the Company increased expenditures related to product sales and marketing.


During the nine months ended July 31, 2010, the Company realized a net loss of $188,531 or ($0.01) per share on $9,565 revenue.  The net loss in the first nine months of 2010 was $16,036 less than the loss reported during the nine month period ended July 31, 2009.  The decreased net loss was primarily due to increased revenue and the stock purchase warrant valuation that off-set increased operating expenses as noted above.


Current activities of the Company have shifted to manufacturing of its stem cell based product line and sales of product and services, while R&D efforts provide intellectual property for potential new products to add to and improve commercial products presently on the market. During the quarter ended July 31, 2010, the Company attended an international stem cell conference, launched new stem cell testing products, and entered into a contract to develop stem cell-derived food while expanding its product sales.  




27





Through an alliance formed previously, the Company and HemoGenix, Inc. launched new high performance stem cell testing products at the International Society for Stem Cell Research annual meeting. The meeting was attended by over 3,000 participants from leading academic institutions and commercial stem cell firms throughout the world. The new products extend the well established HALO® assay platform for hematopoietic stem cells to now include mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) as well.  These new high performance assays provide an ability to analyze stem cells for determination of quality, potency and response to toxic agents.  These new products are jointly manufactured by Vitro and HemoGenix®, Inc.  Vitro provides its specialized stem cell media and stem cells while HemoGenix® provides the LUMENESC™ and LumiSTEM™ ATP bioluminescent readout reagents and materials.  Some sales efforts of these products have begun while we hope to have increased revenue from these products in the future as their availability and utility becomes more widely known.


Vitro entered into a contract with Mokshagundam Biotechnologies, a private research organization operated by a Stanford University professor, to develop cell culture medium for use in exploration of alternative food sources derived from stem cells. Cell culture media is a complex solution of salts and nutrients designed to support growth of living cells; each type of cell requires specific components within the media to optimize its growth. This project intends to utilize cultured marine invertebrates, nourished by medium only as a source of food for fish initially and possibly domestic animals.  The initial target organism has a well-defined stem cell system that results in regeneration of body parts following amputation, and continuous growth of the organism.  Vitro has now provided prototype media to support expansion of these marine organisms without requiring additional food sources.  A third party research group is now engaged in testing of this medium to determine if it successfully maintains growth of the marine organism comparable to traditional feeding procedures. Successful development of such a product could lead to commercial production of food sources that rely on cell culture technology utilizing cell culture medium as the primary consumable product in the manufacturing process.  


This technology may also be expanded to include animal and human food sources using stem cells that give rise to muscle cells, which is the primary ingredient of meat. The manufacture of stem cell derived meat allows complete control of the meat with regard to chemical content and the elimination of contaminants such as E. coli, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and the cause of “Mad Cow Disease.”  Additional substances may be added to enhance taste and nutritional value.   Furthermore, an additional competitive advantage is environmental in that traditional agricultural methods of meat production that result in pollution, CO2 emissions, etc., are vastly reduced through utilization of stem cell-derived food.  


Cellular immortality as reflected in continual stem cell proliferation (self-renewal) has potential to provide limitless cells that when differentiated to muscle, for example, become the primary ingredient of meat.  This reflects the basis of alternative food derived from stem cells that is now being developed. We intend to use our expertise in stem cell media development and commercial manufacture to provide appropriate media formulations to support this nascent technology.  Our VITROGROW™ Brand of stem cell media has been demonstrated to result in superior



28





performance to several name brand competing products in the growth of human adult stem cells and other properties such as real-time stability and is now utilized in high performance, bioluminescent test kits (Lumenesc-Hu™ and LumiSTEM™) for measuring the quality and potency of mesenchymal and induced-pluripotent stem cells.  We anticipate contributing to this emerging field and plan to further develop cellular immortalization procedures that may be crucial to economic production of stem cell-derived meat.  Vitro owns United States Patent number 6,458,593 B1 for the immortalization of pituitary cells.  Also, the Company owns pending patent regarding small molecules for immortalization of stem cells through activation of innate pathways that direct stem cell self-renewal.


Thus while our contribution to this field is predominantly in the form of contract research at the present, we anticipate commercial involvement in the production of specialized media for the generation of stem cell-derived food that is initially focused on food for animals.  While some of the stem cell food products could be commercialized in the near term, we anticipate that our primary sources of revenue generation in the immediate future will be from our “Tools for Stem Cell Research and Drug Discovery™” including stem cell lines, their fluorescent derivations, specialized media optimized to support stem cell growth and differentiation together with the stem cell analysis tools jointly manufactured by Vitro and HemoGenix®, Inc.


The Company’s growth strategy includes a core stem cell technology base including key patent positions coupled with alliances with similar companies engaged in operations that are synergistic with the Company.  This strategy is reflected in the recent establishment of an alliance partnership with HemoGenix®, Inc. that has a 10-year operating history providing basic products and services needed to measure stem cell quality, potency and the effects of toxic agents.  This platform combined with Vitro’s product line and business plan focused on similar markets yields significant synergy that management believes will both enhance and enlarge the collective footprint and capture of our target market. The alliance is immediately focused on extension of the HemoGenix platform stem cell analysis to mesenchymal stem cells and iPS cells through the merging of Vitro’s high performance stem cell media with HemoGenix high performance stem cell assay kits. Management expects accelerated revenue expansion through the offering of these unique products that fulfill an unmet market need.  Furthermore, the Company has an experienced partner who has been successful in marketing of basic stem cell tools to a similar market niche that Vitro is now targeting.



ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

ITEM  4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


a.  Disclosure Controls and Procedures


     The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has established and is currently maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.  The disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


     The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has conducted a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded, based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.     


Additionally, management identified the following internal control deficiencies.  (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as its President initiates, authorizes, and completes all transactions.  The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the President from overriding the internal control system.  The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the President is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC’s reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports.  In addition, the Company engaged a financial consultant to review all financial transactions to determine that they have been properly recorded in the financial statements. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.  The Company does not think that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Company has implemented a series of manual checks and balances to verify that previous reporting periods have not been improperly modified and that no unauthorized entries have been made in the current reporting period.


Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.




30





b.  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


c. Limitations of any Internal Control Design


Our principal executive and financial officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive and financial officer has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the 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 simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
