ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

General Business Overview

We are a biotechnology company engaged in the discovery and development of stem cell therapeutics, tissue banking services and cosmeceutical products. Our technologies are embodied in patent applications including but not limited to: a medium and scaffolding for enhancing the growth of stem cells, a growth platform for stem cells, a unique cord blood banking cryopreservation bag, a device to eliminate malformed stem cells via filtration. We have developed products utilizing our intellectual property including but not limited to an anti-aging cosmeceutical based on our NC138 protein matrix and the StromaCel™ cardiac treatment.  We have utilized our management and advisory team in conjunction with third party universities and research centers to develop these products and technologies. We have further developed an innovative business model for early commercialization and expedited FDA trials for our products and services through an international network of laboratories.

Company Overview

Cosmeceuticals – We have developed a range of anti-aging and wound care products, that we intend to manufacture, market and sell through our Proteoderm subsidiary based on a stem cell secreted matrix of proteins that stimulate collagen.

Stem Cell Therapies – We are developing a diverse array of therapies for major diseases such as cardiac arrest and diabetes. Our first product, StromaCel™ cellular material for post-myocardial infarction patients that we intend to bring to FDA trials in 2011 in conjunction with our new cellular expansion technology

Tissue Banking – We provide various laboratory services including reproductive, cord blood and other tissue banking through our subsidiary Sperm Bank of New York. We intend to apply our expansion technology to greatly enhance profitability in this field as part of our business strategy.

Business Model – We are seeking to establish an international network of laboratories through which we intend to reach market early for treatments still in FDA trials while simultaneously expediting the FDA trials with the data collected from the treatment.

Technology Overview

We have worked together with independent outside laboratories and national universities to develop a portfolio of complementary and synergistic technologies covering all steps in the Regenerative Therapy process. These steps include:

Cell Identification – Stem cells occur in various organs in the body, identifying the desired cells from all other cells is the first step towards a treatment. We have filed patent applications for biomarkers specifically identifying Islet Cells in the pancreas for diabetes treatment and Stromal Cells in bone marrow for cardiac treatment, marketed under the brand name StromaCel™.

Cell Isolation – Once the cells are identified, the desired cells must be isolated from all others to create a pure material to increase efficiency and reduce rejection. This is the second step towards a treatment. We have filed patents on a method of stem cell isolation for various applications.

Cell Conversion – For some treatments, the Stem Cells must be converted from one type to another. We have filed a patent for conversion of pancreatic stem cells into insulin producing beta cells as part of our diabetes research.

Cell Expansion – Once the desired cells have been identified, isolated, and converted for the desired result, the quantity must be dramatically increased in number. Current technology is generally limited to a five-generation increase in cells before differentiation (replication errors). We have developed a unique growth medium and matrix that currently shows many additional generations without differentiation.

Cryopreservation – The final step in treatment is the preservation of the material for storage and transport. We have developed a technology that decreases the numbers of cells lost during the cryopreservation and thawing process and further reduces the chances of contamination.

Cosmeceutical Overview

5

We discovered a matrix of proteins and polypeptides, NC-138TM, secreted from our patent pending Stem Cell growth platform. Based upon this protein matrix, we have developed a line of Anti-Aging Skin Care Products which are ready for commercialization. When NC-138TM was first discovered, it showed exciting, positive results in a double-blind study. We launched this product at the Anti-Aging Conference in 2008, and since then, we have signed up approximately 200 physicians in our “prescription” treatment program and received a substantial number of serious international distributorship inquiries. However, full product launch has been delayed due to lack of financing.. Upon securing financing, we will seek to exploit our network of interested physician and distributors to make a worldwide product launch.

Proteoderm is ready for initial market entry as an over the counter Anti-Aging product. We have contacted with Dr. Smeena Khan to conduct a formal 150 patient study. Pre-sales have commenced on the internet and first sales will be online only. Once sufficient revenue exists to cover cash flows on larger orders, the product will be brought to the high-end “prescription” market and for mass international distribution. We anticipate that our first shipment will occur prior to the last quarter of 2011.

StromaCelTM Cardiac Treatment

StromaCelTM is a post Myocardial Infarction Treatment using Allogenic Stem Cells from Bone Marrow donors. Administered via an IV drip in the first two weeks following Infarction, it has been demonstrated to increases long-term recovery of heart function. StromaCelTM was developed in conjunction with a major academic institution and is now ready for commercialization and FDA trials. We have developed an improved protocol for material expansion, that has recently completed validation runs at a major academic institution, increasing from 10X times to 50X expansion.

StromaCelTM intends to sell to foreign  PRTMI’s for treatment of patients abroad.,  The Company intends to utilize the revenues  and data to support and supplant respectively an FDA trial of the product. Contracts have been signed with medical facilities in the Dominican Republic and it is to soon to determine when the Company will begin treating patients. Material production has been contracted to the a major academic institution. The Company anticipates expanding their PRTMI network to serve local patients in countries not subject to FDA type regulations and fly in patients from nearby regulated countries when properly funded.

Cord Blood Model

We have developed a Cord Blood expansion technology and combined it with an improved Cryopreservation system. These technologies make it possible to change the standard model for Cord Blood Banking. Under our model, Umbilical Cord Blood banking will become a free service to patients and we will increase the donor supply to eliminate shortages. Once we can complete our trials (pre clinical and FDA), we will use our expansion and cryopreservation system to increase the number of usable cells in a donated cord blood unit; and offer a free service to process, cryopreserve and bank one dose per patient for the patients lifetime. The patient must, however, agree to donate all additional doses to transplant patients and parents are given an opportunity to protect their child (patient). .

Regenerative Translational Medicine

Regenerative medicine refers to research into treatments that restore adult body parts. There are three strategies for future treatments: the injection of stem cells or progenitor cells; the induction of regeneration by introduced substances; and the transplantation of in vitro grown organs and tissues.

Translation Medicine is the emerging view of medical practice and interventional epidemiology, as a natural 21st century progression from Evidence-Based Medicine. It integrates research inputs from the basic sciences, social sciences and political sciences to optimize both patient care and also preventive measures which may extend beyond the provision of healthcare services.

Translational Research is the underlying basis for Translational Medicine that is the process which leads from evidence based medicine to sustainable solutions for public health problems. Fulfilling the promise of translational research for improving the health and longevity of the world’s population depends on developing broad-based teams of scientists and scholars who are able to focus their efforts of clinical trials into changes in clinical practice, informed by evidence from the social and political sciences.

We are a 100% owner in PRTMI. PRTMI anticipates tofocus on the translation of promising research in stem cell biology and cellular therapy to clinical applications of regenerative medicine. The mission of PRTMI will be to undertake clinical trials in regenerative medicine for delivery of cutting edge therapies. XGen will interface between clinical programs to identify potential therapies to move into clinical studies.

6

This will involve development of clinical protocols, development of manufacturing of cellular products for clinical use, monitoring and compliance of the clinical trials. Further, PRTMI will provide for the seamless transition between the lab and the patient care facility.

History of the Company

Azurel, Ltd. was incorporated on June 26, 1995 in the State of Delaware and marketed a line of fragrances. On February 2, 2001, Azurel filed a voluntary petition for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, Newark until it was discharged from bankruptcy in December, 2005. In September 2006, Azurel, Ltd., through a share exchange agreement, acquired National Stem Cell Inc. and its subsidiary, The Sperm Bank of New York and changed its name to National Stem Cell Holding, Inc.

National Stem Cell had intellectual property consisting of research into immunological isolation of stem cell populations derived from umbilical cord blood and bone marrow and, in March 2006, began working with the John Hopkins University and developed multiple patents in stem cell expansion, stem cell growth and identification of particular types of stem cells.

The Sperm Bank of New York, an operating wholly-owned subsidiary of National Stem Cell, derives its revenue from the sale of donated sperm units to potential parents and from the cryopreservation of sperm units maintained by individuals for future use.

On July 8, 2008, the Company formed Proteoderm as a third wholly-owned subsidiary. Through this subsidiary, the Company produces and synthesizes protein polypeptides secreted by stem cells and incorporate them into uniquely formulated personal care products.

In August 2008, the Company changed its name to Proteonomix, Inc.

In an effort to place different technologies and therapies in different subsidiaries, Stromacel, Inc. ("StromaCel") was registered as a Florida corporation on December 24, 2009 by our President and CEO, Michael Cohen, for $168.   In February, 2010 we acquired all of StromaCel’s authorized shares at cost for $168 and StromaCel became a subsidiary of the Company.  

We formed Proteonomix Regenerative Translational Medicine Institute, Inc. ("PRTMI") as a Florida corporation on January 5, 2010 and PRTMI RD, SRL incorporated under the laws of the Dominican Republic in February, 2010 as a subsidiary of PRTMI. PRTMI will focus on the translation of promising research in stem cell biology and cellular therapy to clinical applications of regenerative medicine. At present, the PRTMI subsidiary does not have any assets, including technology licenses. We cannot guarantee if and when it will become operational.

StromaCel intends to develop therapies using stromal cells which are key components of tissues and provide critical cytokines and growth factors as well as the cellular microenvironment for normal homeostasis. A cytokine is a small protein released by cells that affects the interactions and communications between cells and the behavior of cells. A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation and differentiation. Homeostasis is a self-regulating process by which a biological system maintains stability while adjusting to changing conditions. Stromal cells provide a niche proliferation environment for stem cells. StromaCel's goal is to study the basic cellular properties of stromal cells and to identify the utility of cellular and protein derivatives in disease repair.

With the above in mind, on May 4, 2010, Proteonomix licensed from the Cohen-McNiece Foundation the Stromal Cell technology (“Technology”) for potential therapeutic use in the regrowth of damaged cardiac cells after a heart attack.  The Cohen-McNiece Foundation was formed by Proteonomix President, Michael Cohen, and its Chief Scientific Officer and Vice-President, Ian McNiece, PhD to develop cellular technology for patients who have suffered myocardial infarctions.  The Technology was licensed in exchange for a 2% royalty on gross revenue derived from use of the Technology and 1,000,000 stock options at $3.55 per share to Michael Cohen, the Company’s president.  The 2% royalty will be used by the Foundation to do further research into stem cell applications. Proteonomix received a right of first refusal to license any technology developed by the Foundation. Proteonomix has sub-licensed the Technology to StromaCel for a 2% royalty, but Proteonomix will remain responsible for all costs associated with patent prosecution for the Technology.  In the event of bankruptcy, the rights to the Technology granted by the license revert to the Foundation.

On June 1, 2010, Proteonomix began to concentrate its Research and Development resources on the development of StromaCel in order to further develop its portfolio of intellectual properties and global partnerships.

On May 24, 2010, Proteonomix launched its retail web site, www.proteoderm.com, and began accepting pre-orders for its anti-aging line of skin care products. Proteoderm contains Matrix NC-138 an anti-aging bioactive ingredient, developed by Proteonomix Inc. Matrix NC-138 is the first product in the Company's pipeline that was a result of the Company's R & D program stem cell and collagen growth. The Company does not anticipate filling orders until the last quarter of 2011.

This should enable the professional to emphasize the use of information about an individual patient to select or optimize that patient's preventative and therapeutic care for their skin.

On June 1, 2010 Proteonomix retained Wolfe Axelrod Weinberger Associates (“WAW”), an investor relations agency for one year.  WAW is to receive $7,500 a month and options to purchase 75,000 shares at a purchase price of $5.00 per share, which vest ratably over the 12 month contract commencing July 1, 2010.  The Company has a right to terminate the agreement after three months including all fees and stock options.  The maximum stock options to be issued, if terminated, would be 18,750 shares. The Company has expensed $30,000 through December 31, 2010, and issued 10,000 shares of stock in October 2010 to cover 2 additional months of service through November 30, 2010. The Company has not utilized the services subsequent to November 30, 2010 and terminated this agreement at that time. There is currently $15,000 due to Wolfe, Axelrod and Weinberger as of December 31, 2010. The Company has expensed in stock-based compensation 37,500 options at a value of $72,507.  

On June 15, 2010 Proteonomix retained Logoform AG, to provide marketing, investor relations and capital raising services for Proteonomix for three months.  Logoform AG received 100,000 stock options @ $5.00 per share exercisable until June 15, 2011, ratably over twelve months commencing July 15, 2010. The Company has expensed 49,998 options through December 31, 2010 as stock-based compensation in accordance with the terms of the agreement. There will be no additional options granted subsequent to December 31, 2010 as the contract has been terminated. The value of the options were $96,673 for the year ended December 31, 2010 relating to these options. Logoform AG also received 50,000 shares of Proteonomix freely tradable, duly authorized and validly issued shares to be paid by a third party on behalf of the Company.  Logoform AG will also receive a four percent finder’s fee for equity or debt raised up to $3,000,000.  

 

On June 16, 2010 Proteonomix shares began to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol PROT.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenues

Our revenues and associated direct costs since inception are a result of our sales of donor sperm samples from our Sperm Bank of New York subsidiary, a company engaged in reproductive tissue banking.  In 2011 we anticipate the beginning of sales in the last quarter for our Proteoderm products.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the costs associated with our general management, including salaries, professional fees such as legal and accounting, marketing expenses and advisory fees. We have increased our general and administrative expense for legal and accounting compliance costs, investor relations and other activities associated with operating as a publicly traded company.  We have strengthened our administrative capabilities through various consulting agreements. Continued increases will also likely result from additional operational, financial, accounting and advisory contracts.  The majority of our expenses were paid by stock based compensation agreements.

Income Taxes

We have not recognized any deferred tax assets or liabilities in our financial statements since we cannot assure their future realization. Because realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, a full valuation allowance has been recorded on the net deferred tax assets, which relate primarily to net operating loss carry-forwards. In the event that we become profitable within the next several years, we have net deferred tax assets (before a 100% valuation allowance) of approximately $5,917,452 that may be utilized prior to us having to recognize any income tax expense or make payments to the taxing authorities. Utilization of our net operating loss carry-forwards in any one year may be limited under IRC Section 382, and we could be subject to the alternative minimum tax, thereby potentially diminishing the value to us of this tax asset.

Principal Offices


The Company leases approximately 3,269 square feet of office space pursuant to the terms of a lease entered into on April 13, 2010, which expires on April 30, 2011, for a monthly lease payment of $5,585. The Company believes that such office space will be sufficient for its needs for the next 12 months, although the lease does not contain a renewal option.  The Company’s principal offices are located at 187 Mill Lane, Mountainside, NJ 07052. Our telephone number at such address is (973) 544-6116.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS


An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the risks described below and other information contained in this report before deciding to invest in our common stock.  The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or which we currently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our company.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your investment.


Risks Related to Our Company and Our Operations


We have a severe working capital deficit and, in addition to proceeds from financings, we continue to have outstanding loans from our chief executive officer and accrued salaries due to our executive officers and employees in order to indirectly fund operations.


As of December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $6,892,315. During the year ended December 31, 2010, our revenue generating activities had not produced sufficient funds for profitable operations and we have incurred operating losses since inception. Although we have obtained cash from certain financings, we continue to have outstanding loans from our senior officer’s of approximately $1,098,421, and accrued salaries due our executive officers in the amount of $1,362,500. In the event we are unable to pay our accrued salaries, we may not be able to maintain them which could materially adversely affect our business and operations, including our ongoing activities.


Our business plan and technologies are unproven. We have generated minimal revenues from our operation, and incurred substantial operating losses since our inception.  We have very limited cash resources and we are reliant on external sources of financing to fund our operations, including our ongoing product development.


As of December 31, 2010 Proteonomix’s revenue generating activities have not produced sufficient funds for profitable operations and we have incurred operating losses since inception.  In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional financing on acceptable terms, and the success of future operations.


As of December 31, 2010, we had a cash balance of $18. Management believes these funds to be insufficient to fund our operations, absent any cash flow from operations or funds from one or more equity or debt financings or from bank borrowing.  We are currently spending or incurring expenses of approximately $175,000 per month on operations and the continued research and development of our products.  Management believes that we will require approximately an additional $2,100,000 to fund our operations for the next 12 months and to repay certain outstanding trade payables and accrued expenses. This assumes that we are able to continue to defer the amounts due to our executives for accrued and unpaid salaries and that we are able to continue to extend or defer payment of certain amounts due to our trade creditors, of which there can be no assurance.


During Fiscal 2010, our total stockholders’ deficit increased by $1,049,157 to $3,442,850, and our consolidated net loss was $3,470,035 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion of management’s expectations regarding future cash flows, Proteonomix’s insolvency continues to increase the uncertainties related to its continued existence.  Both management and the Board of Directors are carefully monitoring the Company’s cash flows and financial position in consideration of these increasing uncertainties and the needs of both creditors and stockholders.

9


Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.


Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might occur if we are unable to continue in business as a going concern.


We have not yet generated any revenue from our Proteoderm and StromaCel products.


We have generated limited revenue from the sperm bank division.  We anticipate launching of our Proteoderm products during 2011; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in such launch or that we will generate revenue from our products.  


Our certifying officers evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective for prior periods and that we had certain weaknesses in our internal controls over timely reporting.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  The Certifying Officers designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under their supervision, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is made known to management (including the Certifying Officers) by others within the Company, including its subsidiaries. We regularly evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls quarterly in our Forms 10-Q and annually in our Forms 10-K. In completing such reporting, we disclose, as appropriate, any significant change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  As we have disclosed in the past our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management continues to believe that refinement to our disclosure controls and procedures is an ongoing progress. The Audit Committee believes the Company should continue the following activities: (a) additional education and professional development for the Company’s accounting and other staff on new and existing applicable SEC filing requirements, certain applicable SEC disclosure requirements, and the timing of the filing thereof, and (b) reviewing disclosure requirements, including Form 8-K and Regulation S-K disclosure requirements, SEC staff guidance and interpretations related thereto. While management is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures and has taken steps to ensure that the disclosure controls are effective and free of “significant deficiencies” and/or “material weaknesses,” the ability of management to implement the remediation of such weaknesses and deficiencies and the inherent nature of our business and rapidly changing environment may affect management’s ability to be successful with this initiative.

 

Current shareholdings may be diluted if we make future equity issuances or if outstanding notes converted into shares of common stock.


“Dilution” refers to the reduction in the voting effect and proportionate ownership interest of a given number of shares of common stock as the total number of shares increases.  Our issuance of additional stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt may result in dilution to the interests of shareholders and may also result in the reduction of your stock price.  The sale of a substantial number of shares into the market, or even the perception that sales could occur, could depress the price of the common stock.  Also, the exercise of warrants and options may result in additional dilution.


The holders of outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the common stock, if any, without assuming the risk of ownership, with a resulting dilution in the interests of other shareholders.  We may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital if it should be needed for our business while the options, warrants and convertible securities are outstanding.  At any time at which the holders of the options, warrants or convertible securities might be expected to exercise or convert them, we would probably be able to obtain additional capital on terms more favorable than those provided by those securities.


We may face competition from other developers of the technology we specialize in.

10

While the market for our technology is highly fragmented, we face competition from other companies which are developing products that are expected to be competitive with our products.   Business in general is highly competitive, and we compete with both large multinational providers and smaller companies. Some of our competitors have more capital, longer operating and market histories, and greater resources than we have, and may offer a broader range of products and at lower prices than we offer.


We may undertake acquisitions which pose risks to our business.


As part of our growth strategy, we have and may in the future acquire or enter into joint venture arrangements with, or form strategic alliances with complimentary businesses. Any such acquisition, investment, strategic alliance or related effort will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in such transactions.  These risks may include:


·

Difficulty of identifying appropriate acquisition candidates;

·

Paying more than the acquired company is worth;

·

Difficulty in assimilating the operations of the new business;

·

Costs associated with the development and integration of the operations of the new entity;

·

Existing business may be disrupted;

·

Entering markets in which we have little or no experience;

·

Accounting for acquisitions could require us to amortize substantial intangible assets (goodwill), adversely affecting our results of operations;

·

Inability to retain the management and key personnel of the acquired business;

·

Inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures; or

·

Customer attrition with respect to customers acquired through the acquisition.

 

We cannot assure you that we would successfully overcome these risks or any other problems associated with any acquisition, investment, strategic alliances, or related efforts.  Also, if we use our common stock in connection with an acquisition, your percentage ownership in us will be reduced and you may experience additional dilution.

 

In order to comply with public reporting requirements, we must continue to strengthen our financial systems and controls, and failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to provide timely and accurate financial statements.

Refinement of our internal controls and procedures will be required as we manage future growth successfully and operate effectively as a public company. Such refinement of our internal controls, as well as compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related requirements, will be costly and will place a significant burden on management.  We cannot assure you that measures already taken, or any future measures, will enable us to provide accurate and timely financial reports, particularly if we are unable to hire additional personnel in our accounting and financial department, or if we lose personnel in this area. Any failure to improve our internal controls or other problems with our financial systems or internal controls could result in delays or inaccuracies in reporting financial information, or non-compliance with SEC reporting and other regulatory requirements, any of which could adversely affect our business and stock price.

Our stock price is volatile.

 

The stock market from time to time experiences significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.  These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our common stock to drop.  In addition, the market price of our common stock is highly volatile.  Factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to drop include:

·

Fluctuations in our results of operations;

·

Timing and announcements of new customer orders, new products, or those of our competitors;

·

Any acquisitions that we make or joint venture arrangements we enter into with third parties;

·

Changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our common stock;

11

·

Failure of our results of operations to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors;

·

Increases in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock resulting from sales of new shares, or the exercise of warrants, stock options or convertible securities;

Reluctance of any market maker to make a market in our common stock;

·

Changes in investors’ perception of the transportation security scanning and healthcare information technology industries generally; and

·

General stock market conditions.

 

There is a limited market for our common stock.

 

Our common stock is quoted on OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PROT.”  As a result, relatively small trades in our stock could have disproportionate effect on our stock prices.  No assurance can be made that an active market for our common stock will continue.

 

The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information for shares of stock that are not designated for quotation on a national securities exchange.  Trades in OTC Bulletin Board quoted stocks will be displayed only if the trade is processed by an institution acting as a market maker for those shares.  Although there are approximately 10 market makers for our stock, these institutions are not obligated to continue making a market for any specific period of time.  Thus, there can be no assurance that any institution will be acting as a market maker for our common stock at any time.  If there is no market maker for our stock and no trades in those shares are reported, it may be difficult for you to dispose of your shares or even to obtain accurate quotations as to the market price for your shares.  Moreover, because the order handling rules adopted by the SEC that apply to other listed stocks do not apply to OTC Bulletin Board quoted stock, no market maker is required to maintain an orderly market in our common stock.  Accordingly, an order to sell our stock placed with a market maker may not be processed until a buyer for the shares is readily available, if at all, which may further limit your ability to sell your shares at prevailing market prices.

 

Because we became public through a reverse acquisition, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms or institutional investors.

 

We became a public company through a reverse acquisition.  Accordingly, securities analysts and major brokerage firms and securities institutions may not cover our common stock since there is no incentive to recommend the purchase of our common stock.  No assurance can be given that established brokerage firms will want to conduct any financing for us in the future.

 

Our common stock is subject to the SEC’s Penny Stock Regulations.

 

Our common stock is subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules.  These regulations define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, these rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered underwriter, current quotations for the securities, information on the limited market in penny stocks and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers’ presumed control over the market.  In addition, the broker-dealer must obtain a written statement from the customer that such disclosure information was provided and must retain such acknowledgment for at least three years.  Further, monthly statements must be sent disclosing current price information for the penny stock held in the account.  The penny stock rules also require that broker-dealers engaging in a transaction in a penny stock make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.  The foregoing rules may materially and adversely affect the liquidity for the market of our common stock.  Such rules may also affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock, the ability of holders of such securities to obtain accurate price quotations and may therefore impede the ability of holders of our common stock to sell such securities in the secondary market.

 

Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws may discourage mergers and other transactions.

 

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of us.  These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to take certain corporate actions and could delay or prevent someone from acquiring our business.  These provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock.  

12

The use of a staggered board of directors and the ability to issue “blank check” preferred stock are traditional anti-takeover measures.  These provisions may be beneficial to our management and the board of directors in a hostile tender offer, and may have an adverse impact on stockholders who may want to participate in such tender offer, or who may want to replace some or all of the members of the board of directors.

 

We depend on key personnel.

 

Our success depends of the contributions of our key management personnel, including Mr. Michael Cohen, Chief Executive Officer and Ian McNiece our Chief Scientific Officer.  If we lose the services of any of such personnel we could be delayed in or precluded from achieving our business objectives.  We do not have key man life insurance on any of our officers.

 

In addition, the loss of key members of our sales and marketing teams or key technical service personnel could jeopardize our positive relations with our customers.  Any loss of key technical personnel would jeopardize the stability of our infrastructure and our ability to provide the service levels our customers expect.  The loss of any of our key officers or personnel could impair our ability to successfully execute our business strategy, because we substantially rely on their experience and management skills.

 

Our ability to attract and retain additional skilled personnel may impact our ability to develop our technology and attract customers in growing our business.

 

We believe that our ability to attract, train, motivate and retain additional highly skilled technical, managerial and sales personnel is essential to our future success.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and qualified personnel are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future.  Locating candidates with the appropriate qualifications can be costly and difficult.  We may not be able to hire the necessary personnel to implement our business strategy, or we may need to provide higher compensation to such personnel than we currently anticipate.  If we fail to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees, our ability to provide the necessary products, technologies, and services may be limited, and as a result, we may be unable to attract customers and grow our business.

 

We have never paid a cash dividend

 

We have not declared a cash dividend and we do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

GENERAL

 

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and schedules appearing elsewhere in this report.  Throughout this report when we refer to the “Company,” “Proteonomix,” “we,” “our” or “us,” we mean Proteonomix, Inc.

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, and contingencies.  We base our estimates on historical experience, where available, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

 

Except for historical information, the material contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis is forward-looking.  Our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, which include certain risks and uncertainties.  These risks and uncertainties include the rate of market development and acceptance of our products, the unpredictability of our sales cycle, the limited revenues and significant operating losses generated to date, and the possibility of significant ongoing capital requirements.

15

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the consolidated financial statements included herein for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph wherein they expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, careful consideration of such opinions should be given in determining whether to continue or become our stockholder.

 

OVERVIEW

General Business Overview

We are a biotechnology company engaged in the discovery and development of stem cell therapeutics, tissue banking services and cosmeceutical products. Our technologies are embodied in patent applications including but not limited to: a medium and scaffolding for enhancing the growth of stem cells, a growth platform for stem cells, a unique cord blood banking cryopreservation bag, a device to eliminate malformed stem cells via filtration. We have developed products utilizing our intellectual property including but not limited to an anti-aging cosmeceutical based on our NC138 protein matrix and the StromaCel™ cardiac treatment.  We have utilized our management and advisory team in conjunction with third party universities and research centers to develop these products and technologies. We have further developed an innovative business model for early commercialization and expedited FDA trials for our products and services through an international network of laboratories.

Company Overview

Cosmeceuticals – We have developed a range of anti-aging and wound care products, that we intend to manufacture, market and sell through our Proteoderm subsidiary based on a stem cell secreted matrix of proteins that stimulate collagen.

Stem Cell Therapies – We are developing a diverse array of therapies for major diseases such as cardiac arrest and diabetes. Our first product, StromaCel™ cellular material for post-myocardial infarction patients that we intend to bring to FDA trials in 2011 in conjunction with our new cellular expansion technology

Tissue Banking – We provide various laboratory services including reproductive, cord blood and other tissue banking through our subsidiary Sperm Bank of New York. We intend to apply our expansion technology to greatly enhance profitability in this field as part of our business strategy.

Business Model – We are seeking to establish an international network of laboratories through which we intend to reach market early for treatments still in FDA trials while simultaneously expediting the FDA trials with the data collected from the treatment.

Technology Overview

We have worked together with independent outside laboratories and national universities to develop a portfolio of complementary and synergistic technologies covering all steps in the Regenerative Therapy process. These steps include:

Cell Identification – Stem cells occur in various organs in the body, identifying the desired cells from all other cells is the first step towards a treatment. We have filed patent applications for biomarkers specifically identifying Islet Cells in the pancreas for diabetes treatment and Stromal Cells in bone marrow for cardiac treatment, marketed under the brand name StromaCel™.

Cell Isolation – Once the cells are identified, the desired cells must be isolated from all others to create a pure material to increase efficiency and reduce rejection. This is the second step towards a treatment. We have filed patents on a method of stem cell isolation for various applications.

Cell Conversion – For some treatments, the Stem Cells must be converted from one type to another. We have filed a patent for conversion of pancreatic stem cells into insulin producing beta cells as part of our diabetes research.

Cell Expansion – Once the desired cells have been identified, isolated, and converted for the desired result, the quantity must be dramatically increased in number. Current technology is generally limited to a five-generation increase in cells before differentiation (replication errors). We have developed a unique growth medium and matrix that currently shows many additional generations without differentiation.




16


 

Cryopreservation – The final step in treatment is the preservation of the material for storage and transport. We have developed a technology that decreases the numbers of cells lost during the cryopreservation and thawing process and further reduces the chances of contamination.

Cosmeceutical Overview

We discovered a matrix of proteins and polypeptides, NC-138TM, secreted from our patent pending Stem Cell growth platform. Based upon this protein matrix, we have developed a line of Anti-Aging Skin Care Products which are ready for commercialization. When NC-138TM was first discovered, it showed exciting, positive results in a double-blind study. We launched this product at the Anti-Aging Conference in 2008, and since then, we have signed up approximately 200 physicians in our “prescription” treatment program and received a substantial number of serious international distributorship inquiries. However, full product launch has been delayed due to lack of financing.. Upon securing financing, we will seek to exploit our network of interested physician and distributors to make a worldwide product launch.

Proteoderm is ready for initial market entry as an over the counter Anti-Aging product. We have contacted with Dr. Smeena Khan to conduct a formal 150 patient study. Pre-sales have commenced on the internet and first sales will be online only. Once sufficient revenue exists to cover cash flows on larger orders, the product will be brought to the high-end “prescription” market and for mass international distribution. We anticipate that our first shipment will occur prior to the last quarter of 2011.

StromaCelTM Cardiac Treatment

StromaCelTM is a post Myocardial Infarction Treatment using Allogenic Stem Cells from Bone Marrow donors. Administered via an IV drip in the first two weeks following Infarction, it has been demonstrated to increases long-term recovery of heart function. StromaCelTM was developed in conjunction with the a major academic institution and is now ready for commercialization and FDA trials. We have developed an improved protocol for material expansion, that has recently completed validation runs at a major academic institution, increasing from 10X times to 50X expansion.

StromaCelTM intends to sell to foreign PRTMI’s for treatment of patients abroad.,  The Company intends to utilize the revenues  and data to support and supplant respectively an FDA trial of the product. Contracts have been signed with medical facilities in the Dominican Republic and it is to soon to determine when the Company will begin treating patients. Material production has been contracted to a major academic institution. The Company anticipates expanding their PRTMI network to serve local patients in countries not subject to FDA type regulations and fly in patients from nearby regulated countries when properly funded.

Cord Blood Model

We have developed a Cord Blood expansion technology and combined it with an improved Cryopreservation system. These technologies make it possible to change the standard model for Cord Blood Banking. Under our model, Umbilical Cord Blood banking will become a free service to patients and we will increase the donor supply to eliminate shortages. Once we can complete our trials (pre clinical and FDA), we will use our expansion and cryopreservation system to increase the number of usable cells in a donated cord blood unit; and offer a free service to process, cryopreserve and bank one dose per patient for the patients lifetime. The patient must, however, agree to donate all additional doses to transplant patients and parents are given an opportunity to protect their child (patient). .

Regenerative Translational Medicine

Regenerative medicine refers to research into treatments that restore adult body parts. There are three strategies for future treatments: the injection of stem cells or progenitor cells; the induction of regeneration by introduced substances; and the transplantation of in vitro grown organs and tissues.

Translation Medicine is the emerging view of medical practice and interventional epidemiology, as a natural 21st century progression from Evidence-Based Medicine. It integrates research inputs from the basic sciences, social sciences and political sciences to optimize both patient care and also preventive measures which may extend beyond the provision of healthcare services.




17


Translational Research is the underlying basis for Translational Medicine that is the process which leads from evidence based medicine to sustainable solutions for public health problems. Fulfilling the promise of translational research for improving the health and longevity of the world’s population depends on developing broad-based teams of scientists and scholars who are able to focus their efforts of clinical trials into changes in clinical practice, informed by evidence from the social and political sciences.

We are a 100% owner in PRTMI, which was formed in August 2010. PRTMI will focus on the translation of promising research in stem cell biology and cellular therapy to clinical applications of regenerative medicine. The mission of PRTMI will be to undertake clinical trials in regenerative medicine for delivery of cutting edge therapies. PRTMI will interface between clinical programs to identify potential therapies to move into clinical studies. This will involve development of clinical protocols, development of manufacturing of cellular products for clinical use, monitoring and compliance of the clinical trials. Further, PRTMI will provide for the seamless transition between the lab and the patient care facility.

History of the Company

Azurel, Ltd. was incorporated on June 26, 1995 in the State of Delaware and marketed a line of fragrances. On February 2, 2001, Azurel filed a voluntary petition for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, Newark until it was discharged from bankruptcy in December, 2005. In September 2006, Azurel, Ltd., through a share exchange agreement, acquired National Stem Cell Inc. and its subsidiary, The Sperm Bank of New York and changed its name to National Stem Cell Holding, Inc.

National Stem Cell had intellectual property consisting of research into immunological isolation of stem cell populations derived from umbilical cord blood and bone marrow and, in March 2006, began working with the John Hopkins University and developed multiple patents in stem cell expansion, stem cell growth and identification of particular types of stem cells.

The Sperm Bank of New York, an operating wholly-owned subsidiary of National Stem Cell, derives its revenue from the sale of donated sperm units to potential parents and from the cryopreservation of sperm units maintained by individuals for future use.

On July 8, 2008, the Company formed Proteoderm as a third wholly-owned subsidiary. Through this subsidiary, the Company produces and synthesizes protein polypeptides secreted by stem cells and incorporate them into uniquely formulated personal care products.

In August 2008, the Company changed its name to Proteonomix, Inc.

In an effort to place different technologies and therapies in different subsidiaries, Stromacel, Inc. ("StromaCel") was registered as a Florida corporation on December 24, 2009 by our President and CEO, Michael Cohen, for $168.   In February, 2010 we acquired all of StromaCel’s authorized shares at cost for $168 and StromaCel became a subsidiary of the Company.  

We formed Proteonomix Regenerative Translational Medicine Institute, Inc. ("PRTMI") as a Florida corporation on January 5, 2010 and PRTMI RD, SRL incorporated under the laws of the Dominican Republic in February, 2010 as a subsidiary of PRTMI. PRTMI will focus on the translation of promising research in stem cell biology and cellular therapy to clinical applications of regenerative medicine. At present, the PRTMI subsidiary does not have any assets, including technology licenses. We cannot guarantee if and when it will become operational.

StromaCel intends to develop therapies using stromal cells which are key components of tissues and provide critical cytokines and growth factors as well as the cellular microenvironment for normal homeostasis. A cytokine is a small protein released by cells that affects the interactions and communications between cells and the behavior of cells. A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation and differentiation. Homeostasis is a self-regulating process by which a biological system maintains stability while adjusting to changing conditions. Stromal cells provide a niche proliferation environment for stem cells. StromaCel's goal is to study the basic cellular properties of stromal cells and to identify the utility of cellular and protein derivatives in disease repair.

With the above in mind, on May 4, 2010, Proteonomix licensed from the Cohen-McNiece Foundation the Stromal Cell technology (“Technology”) for potential therapeutic use in the regrowth of damaged cardiac cells after a heart attack.  The Cohen-McNiece Foundation was formed by Proteonomix President, Michael Cohen, and its Chief Scientific Officer and Vice-President, Ian McNiece, PhD to develop cellular technology for patients who have suffered myocardial infarctions.  The Technology was

18

licensed in exchange for a 2% royalty on gross revenue derived from use of the Technology and 1,000,000 stock options at $3.55 per share to Michael Cohen, the Company’s president.  The 2% royalty will be used by the Foundation to do further research into stem cell applications. Proteonomix received a right of first refusal to license any technology developed by the Foundation. Proteonomix has sub-licensed the Technology to StromaCel for a 2% royalty, but Proteonomix will remain responsible for all costs associated with patent prosecution for the Technology.  In the event of bankruptcy, the rights to the Technology granted by the license revert to the Foundation.

On May 24, 2010, Proteonomix launched its retail web site, www.proteoderm.com, and began accepting pre-orders for its anti-aging line of skin care products. Proteoderm contains Matrix NC-138 an anti-aging bioactive ingredient, developed by Proteonomix Inc. Matrix NC-138 is the first product in the Company's pipeline that was a result of the Company's R & D program stem cell and collagen growth. The Company does not anticipate filling orders until the last quarter of 2011.

This should enable the professional to emphasize the use of information about an individual patient to select or optimize that patient's preventative and therapeutic care for their skin.

On June 1, 2010 Proteonomix retained Wolfe Axelrod Weinberger Associates (“WAW”), an investor relations agency for one year.  WAW is to receive $7,500 a month and options to purchase 75,000 shares at a purchase price of $5.00 per share, which vest ratably over the 12 month contract commencing July 1, 2010.  The Company has a right to terminate the agreement after three months including all fees and stock options.  The maximum stock options to be issued, if terminated, would be 18,750 shares. The Company has expensed $30,000 through December 31, 2010, and issued 10,000 shares of stock in October 2010 to cover 2 additional months of service through November 30, 2010. The Company has not utilized the services subsequent to November 30, 2010 and terminated this agreement at that time. There is currently $15,000 due to Wolfe, Axelrod and Weinberger as of December 31, 2010. The Company has expensed in stock-based compensation 37,500 options at a value of $72,507.  

On June 15, 2010 Proteonomix retained Logoform AG, to provide marketing, investor relations and capital raising services for Proteonomix for three months.  Logoform AG received 100,000 stock options @ $5.00 per share exercisable until June 15, 2011, ratably over twelve months commencing July 15, 2010. The Company has expensed 49,998 options through December 31, 2010 as stock-based compensation in accordance with the terms of the agreement. There will be no additional options granted subsequent to December 31, 2010 as the contract has been terminated. The value of the options were $96,673 for the year ended December 31, 2010 relating to these options. Logoform AG also received 50,000 shares of Proteonomix freely tradable, duly authorized and validly issued shares to be paid by a third party on behalf of the Company.  Logoform AG will also receive a four percent finder’s fee for equity or debt raised up to $3,000,000.  

 

On June 16, 2010 Proteonomix shares began to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol PROT.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenues

Our revenues and associated direct costs since inception are a result of our sales of donor sperm samples from our Sperm Bank of New York subsidiary, a company engaged in reproductive tissue banking.  In 2011 we anticipate the beginning of sales in the last quarter of our Proteoderm products.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the costs associated with our general management, including salaries, professional fees such as legal and accounting, marketing expenses and advisory fees. We have increased our general and administrative expense for legal and accounting compliance costs, investor relations and other activities associated with operating as a publicly traded company.  We have strengthened our administrative capabilities through various consulting agreements. Continued increases will also likely result from additional operational, financial, accounting and advisory contracts.  The majority of our expenses were paid by stock based compensation agreements.


19

Income Taxes

We have not recognized any deferred tax assets or liabilities in our financial statements since we cannot assure their future realization. Because realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, a full valuation allowance has been recorded on the net deferred tax assets, which relate primarily to net operating loss carry-forwards. In the event that we become profitable within the next several years, we have net deferred tax assets (before a 100% valuation allowance) of approximately $5,917,452 that may be utilized prior to us having to recognize any income tax expense or make payments to the taxing authorities. Utilization of our net operating loss carry-forwards in any one year may be limited under IRC Section 382, and we could be subject to the alternative minimum tax, thereby potentially diminishing the value to us of this tax asset.

 

Principal Offices

 

The Company leases approximately 3,269 square feet of office space pursuant to the terms of a lease entered into on April 13, 2010, which expires on April 30, 2011, for a monthly lease payment of $5,585. The Company believes that such office space will be sufficient for its needs for the next 12 months, although the lease does not contain a renewal option.  The Company’s principal offices are located at 187 Mill Lane, Mountainside, NJ 07052. Our telephone number at such address is (973) 544-6116.

Net Cash Used in Operations

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $565,334, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $205,796 during the same period for 2009, or an increase in the use of cash for operating activities of $359,538 (64%). The increase in the use of cash is due to: (i) lower net income (loss) of $387,977; (ii) offset by a decrease in common stock issued for consulting services of $1,631,853; (iii) an increase in the obligation to issue common shares for services of $603,113; (iv) an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $230,701 and (v) a decrease in the change for accounts payable of $53,374.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

In 2010, the only investing activities were the increase in costs associated with filing patents of $215,265. There were no cash flow activities from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net proceeds from financing activities were $680,790 for year ended December 31, 2010, compared with $305,508 for the same period in 2009, or an increase of $375,282 (1279%). Of the 2010 and 2009 proceeds from financing activities, 100% was from the issuance of new debt to related parties from cash infused into the Company. Management is seeking, and expects to continue to seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings, including through one or more equity or debt financings to fund its operations, and pay amounts due to its creditors and employees. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional equity or debt financing or obtain such bank borrowings on terms satisfactory to the Company or at all.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

20

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased during the year ended December 31, 2010 by $99,809, compared to an increase in cash and cash equivalents during the same period in 2009 of $99,712. As outlined above, the decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the current fiscal year was the result of; (i) cash used in operating activities of $565,334, (ii) cash used for the net increase in patent costs of $215,265, and (iii) an increase in cash by $680,790 from financing activities.

Working capital (deficit)

 $(6,892,315)

 

 $(4,568,923)


At December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $6,892,315, compared with a working capital deficit at December 31, 2009 of $4,568,923, an increase in working capital deficit of $2,323,392 (51%). As of December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18 as compared to $99,827 on December 31, 2009. The decrease in cash is the net result of our operating, investing and financing activities outlined above. Our revenue generating activities during the period, as in previous years, have not produced sufficient funds for profitable operations, and we have incurred operating losses since inception. Accordingly, we have continued to utilize the cash raised in our financing activities to fund our operations. In addition to raising cash through additional financing activities, we may supplement our future working capital needs through the extension of trade payables and increases in accrued expenses. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional financing, and the success of our future operations.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased by $99,809 and is the net result of our operating, investing and financing activities outlined above. Our revenue generating activities during the period, as in previous years, have not produced sufficient funds for profitable operations, and we have incurred operating losses since inception.  Accordingly, we have continued to utilize the cash raised in our financing activities to fund our operations. In addition to raising cash through additional financing activities, we have supplemented, and expect to continue to supplement, our future working capital needs through the extension of trade payables, ongoing loans from our chief executive officer and other senior management, and additional deferral of salaries for executive officers. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional financing, and the success of our future operations.

 

In view of the above matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon our continued operation, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional financing, and the success of its future operations.

 

Additional Capital

 

To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of our equity or equity-related securities of our subsidiaries, the issuance of our securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. No assurance can be given that we will have access to the capital markets in the future, or that financing will be available on terms acceptable to satisfy our cash requirements, implement our business strategies, If we are unable to access the capital markets or obtain acceptable financing, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.  We may be required to raise substantial additional funds through other means. We have not begun to receive revenues from our cord blood services or cosmeceutical sales at this point. Management may seek to raise additional capital through one or more equity or debt financings or through bank borrowings.  We cannot assure our stockholders that our technology and products will be commercially accepted or that revenues will be sufficient to fund our operations.

21

If adequate funds are not available to us, we may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current of future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

 

Financial Condition, Going Concern Uncertainties and Events of Default

 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, Proteonomix’ revenue generating activities have not produced sufficient funds for profitable operations and we have incurred operating losses since inception. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional financing on acceptable terms, and the success of future operations. Also, we have outstanding trade and accrued payables of $2,952,590 including accrued salaries due to our management of $1,362,500. Also, our Senior Officer’s net outstanding loans were $1,098,421.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, contains an explanatory paragraph wherein they expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, careful consideration of such opinions should be given in determining whether to continue or become our stockholder.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues were $83,321 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $141,647 for the comparable period in 2009, or a decrease of $58,326. The decrease is due to a smaller demand for the sperm bank services. A majority of the revenue is driven by the storage of the samples versus the actual sale of the samples.

 

Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $15,850 (19% of net revenue), compared to $23,192 (17% of net revenue) during the same period in 2009, a decrease of $7,342, or 13% of the decreased net revenue. The decreased costs are the result of lower costs involved in the production of the samples.

 

Operating Expenses and Depreciation.  Operating expenses and depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2010, decreased $419,657 (10.7%) to $3,517,542 for 2010 as compared to $3,937,199 for the same period in 2009. The table below details the components of operating expense, as well as the dollar and percentage changes for the year ended December 31.

Wage and wage related costs, which includes salaries, commissions, taxes and benefits, decreased $187,128 (32%), due to the termination of the CFO in 2010. The CFO was hired July 1, 2009 so only had six months included for that period.

 

Professional fees include legal, accounting, consulting, marketing, stock transfer agent, SEC filing, and general consulting fees and include the value of common stock issued for these services. Professional fees decreased for the year ended December 31, 2010 versus the same period last year by $585,570 (22%) due to: a decrease in the issuance of stock for services rendered during the year and a decrease in the accrued stock liability and a decrease in legal fees associated with a reclassification of patent costs to intangible assets.

 

Insurance costs in the year ended December 31, 2010, were $54,533 compared to $63,326 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $8,793 (14%). The decrease is attributed to a reduction in liability insurance.

 

Rent increased by $5,592 (24%) to $29,227 in the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $23,635 for the same period in 2009, due to the Company’s allocation of rent relating to their sperm bank operations and additional office space.

 

Travel expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $191,464 compared to the same period for 2009 of $58,745, or an increase of $132,719 (226%). During 2010, the Company increased its travel costs associated with our establishment of the XGen subsidiary as well as additional global activities throughout Europe and additional laboratory work in Miami.

 

Miscellaneous expense decreased by $174,458 (38%) to $285,989 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $460,447 for the same period in 2009. The decrease was due to general business expenses reducing due to cash flow issues.

 

Depreciation expense in our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $244,607 compared to the same period for 2009 of $13,906 increased $230,701 due to the amortization of the Intellectual Property License of $226,793 which





23


represents eight months of amortization on the license which is estimated to have a ten-year term. The depreciation of our fixed assets remained the same due to no new additions of our fixed assets, and no fixed assets have become fully depreciated.


Stock-based compensation, which represents a noncash expense category, represents stock-based compensation to consultants under various contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized an expense associated with stock-based compensation of $182,675. During the same period of 2009, the Company recognized $15,395 stock-based compensation expense for consultants.  

 

Employee stock option expense in 2010 and 2009 represents the Black-Scholes fair value as outlined above in accordance with ASC 718-10. ASC 718-10 requires the recognition of all share-based payments to employees or to non-employee directors, as compensation for service on the Board of Directors, as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of compensation is measured based on the estimated fair values of such stock-based payments on their grant dates, and is amortized over the estimated service period to vesting.  Consulting expense for stock-based payments to consultants is based on the fair value of the stock-based compensation at inception and amortized over the estimated service period but, in accordance with ASC 505-50, is remeasured on each reporting date until the performance commitment is complete.

 

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense and other non-operating income. Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $19,026 compared to other expense of $39,268 for the same period last year. The decrease in other expense from 2009 is the result of reduction of debt associated with the interest cost that was recorded in 2009.

 

Net Loss and Net Loss per Share.  Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $3,470,035, compared to $3,858,012 for the same period in 2009, for a decreased net loss of $387,977 (10%). Net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.75 compared to $1.16 in the same period for 2009, based on the weighted average shares outstanding of 4,629,865 and 3,325,274, respectively. The decreased net loss for 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 arose from the following: (i) decreased net revenues of $58,326; (ii) decreased cost of sales of $7,342, (iii) decreased salary and benefit costs of $187,128, (iv) decreased professional fees of $585,570 (v) a decrease in insurance costs of $8,793, (vi) an increased travel and entertainment costs of $132,719, (vii) a decrease in miscellaneous costs of $174,458, (viii) an increase in rent expense of $5,592, (ix) an increase in stock-based compensation for consultants of $167,280, (x) an increase in depreciation and amortization of $230,701and (xi) a decrease in other net non-operating income and expense of $20,242.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In December 2001 and January 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requested that all registrants list their three to five most “critical accounting policies” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  The SEC defined a “critical accounting policy” as one which is both important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to derivative liabilities, bad debts, income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (other than Derivative Financial Instruments)

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. For the notes payable, the carrying amount reported is based upon the incremental borrowing rates otherwise available to the Company for similar borrowings.  

24

Research and Development

The Company incurs costs on activities that relate to research and development of new technology and products.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Certain of these costs may be reduced by government grants and investment tax credits where applicable. The Company has never had any government grants or investment tax credits.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents and intellectual property, which are carried at the purchase price and/or the legal cost to obtain them. Patents are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to seventeen years. The cost of intellectual property purchased from others that is immediately marketable or that has an alternative future use is capitalized and amortized as intangible assets. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related asset. The Company periodically reviews its capitalized intangible assets to assess recoverability based on the projected undiscounted cash flows from operations, and impairments are recognized in operating results when a permanent diminution in value occurs.

The value assigned to the license is being amortized over a period of ten-years. Ten years was determined to be the estimated useful life of the intellectual property that the license is for. The Company will test for impairment on an annual basis and impair the value if necessary.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue for the sales of its donor sperm samples, which have been the only source of revenue to date are when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a fee is based upon a variable such as acceptance by the customer, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company defers revenue and recognizes it when it becomes due and payable. The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the time collection becomes reasonably assured.

The Company anticipates revenue from support agreements it enters into will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, although the fee is due and payable at the time the agreement is signed or upon annual renewal.

Income Taxes

Under ASC 740 the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

Under ASC 740-10-25 recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions is required using a “more-likely-than-not" approach.   

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, primarily its licenses and fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. The Company does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators.  Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.

(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

25

Basic net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on the consolidated statement of operations due to the fact that the Company reported a net loss and to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

In 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718-10 “Share Based Payments". The adoption of this principle had no effect on the Company’s operations.

 

ASC 718-10 requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payments based on fair value. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company measured compensation expense for all of its share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method.

 

The Company has elected to use the modified-prospective approach method. Under that transition method, the calculated expense in 2006 is equivalent to compensation expense for all awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair values. The Company recognizes these compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a pro rata basis over the requisite service period of each vesting tranche of each award. The Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option forfeitures when estimating the forfeiture rate.  

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services".  The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital. For common stock issuances to non-employees that are fully vested and are for future periods, the Company classifies these issuances as prepaid expenses and expenses the prepaid expenses over the service period. At no time has the Company issued common stock for a period that exceeds one year.

 

Beneficial Conversion Features

ASC 470-20 applies to convertible securities with beneficial conversion features that must be settled in stock and to those that give the issuer a choice in settling the obligation in either stock or cash. ASC 470-20 requires that the beneficial conversion feature should be valued at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the common stock into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. ASC 470-20 further limits this amount to the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

In accordance with ASC 810-10-45, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company classifies controlling interests as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. The Company will apply the provisions in ASC 810-10-45 to the financial information when they have a majority interest in a subsidiary. XGen was the only subsidiary held less than 100%, but the Company assumed control of the minority interest shortly after formation.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, ASC issued 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption of ASC 820 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In February 2007, ASC issued 825-10, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of ASC 320-10, (“ASC 825-10") which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain

26

other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. ASC 825-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

In December 2007, the ASC issued ASC 810-10-65, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. ASC 810-10-65 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment.

ASC 810-10-65 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Management is determining the impact that the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the Company adopted ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805"). ASC 805 retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. ASC 805 defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control.  ASC 805 will require an entity to record separately from the business combination the direct costs, where previously these costs were included in the total allocated cost of the acquisition.  ASC 805 will require an entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date.

ASC 805 will require an entity to recognize as an asset or liability at fair value for certain contingencies, either contractual or non-contractual, if certain criteria are met.  Finally, ASC 805 will require an entity to recognize contingent consideration at the date of acquisition, based on the fair value at that date.  This will be effective for business combinations completed on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is not permitted and the ASC is to be applied prospectively only.  Upon adoption of this ASC, there would be no impact to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for acquisitions previously completed.  The adoption of ASC 805 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, ASC issued ASC 815, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", (“ASC 815"). ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss: how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that ASC 815 will have an impact on their results of operations or financial position.

In April 2008, ASC issued ASC 350, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets". This amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350. The guidance is used for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The Company does not believe ASC 350 will materially impact their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC 470-20, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" (“ASC 470-20") requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. ASC 470-20 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASC 470-20 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC 815-40, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock" (“ASC 815-40"), provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock and it applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative. ASC 815-40 also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock. The Company is determining what impact, if any, ASC 815-40 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ASC 470-20-65, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios" (“ASC 470-20-65"). ASC 470-20-65 is effective for years

27

ending after December 15, 2008. The overall objective of ASC 470-20-65 is to provide for consistency in application of the standard. The Company has computed and recorded a beneficial conversion feature in connection with certain of their prior financing arrangements and does not believe that ASC 470-20-65 will have a material effect on that accounting.

In May 2009, the FASB published ASC 855, “Subsequent Events" (“ASC 855"). ASC 855 requires the Company to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05"). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required for Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In January 2010, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). These standards require new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The standards also require new disclosures of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements. The standard also clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. These new disclosures are effective beginning with the first interim filing in 2010. The disclosures about the roll forward of information in Level 3 are required for the Company with its first interim filing in 2011. The Company does not believe this standard will impact their financial statements.

Other ASU’s that have been issued or proposed by the FASB ASC that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of Proteonomix Inc., which consists primarily of our CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only

28

in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the absence of U.S. GAAP expertise or an internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and (iii) the absence of an Audit Committee which resulted in an ineffective system of internal control at December 31, 2010. 

 

Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2010.

 

In order to correct the above mentioned deficiencies, we have taken and plan on taking the following remediation measures:

·

We intend to appoint additional members to our board of directors in 2011 and establish an audit committee.

·

We intend to hire additional staff in 2011 familiar with financial reporting controls and compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley rules and regulations as well as U.S. GAAP.

·

We intend to hire internal audit staff to consolidate and concentrate our efforts with the building of its six subsidiaries.

·

We intend to segregate duties and implement appropriate review procedures throughout the accounting and administration controls.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management of Proteonomix, Inc (including its subsidiaries) (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

 

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, and under the supervision of, its principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel,  to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this assessment, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

29

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by the Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Based on our review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 submitted to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 under the Exchange Act by our executive officers and directors with respect to our most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, there were no known (1) late reports, (2) transactions that were not reported, or (3) known failures to file a required report by such executives officers and directors, except that Mr. Fidler, a director, failed to file a timely Form 4 with respect to the issuance to him of 25,000 in January 2010. He has subsquently filed the form late.  

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The material principles underlying our goals for executive compensation policies and decisions are intended to:

 

  

 

implement compensation packages which are competitive with comparable organizations and allow us to attract and retain the best possible executive talent;

 

 

 

relate annual and long-term cash and stock incentives to achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance objectives;

 

 

 

appropriately balance the mix of cash and noncash short and long-term compensation;

 

 

 

encourage integrity in business dealings through the discretionary portion of our compensation package; and

 

 

 

align executives’ incentives with long-term stockholder value creation.

 

33

 

We determine the appropriate levels of total executive compensation, including for our named executive officers, and each compensation element, based on several factors, such as an informal benchmarking of our compensation levels to those paid by comparable companies, our overall performance, each individual executive officer’s performance, the desire to maintain level equity and consistency among our executive officers, and other considerations that we deem to be relevant.  

 Elements of Compensation

 

The principal elements of our compensation package are as follows, although we have not provided cash based compensation other than for base salary. We may consider in the future other cash based compensation once we become able to do so.

 

 

 

base salary;

 

 

 

annual cash incentive bonuses;

 

 

 

long-term incentive plan awards using stock options;

 

 

 

severance benefits;

 

 

 

change in control benefits;

 

 

 

401(k) savings plans;

 

 

 

retirement benefits;

 

 

 

perquisites and other compensation.

 

Base Salary

 

The amount of base salary paid or payable to our named executive officers is used to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our named executive officers. When establishing base salaries for the executives, management considers a number of factors, including the seniority of the individual, the functional role of the position, the level of the individual’s responsibility, the ability to replace the individual, the base salary of the individual at his prior employment and various qualified candidates to assume the individual’s role. Generally, we believe our executive’s base salaries should be targeted near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions at comparable companies.

 

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

 

Due to the limited cash available to us, we currently do not have a bonus plan and, during 2010, we did not make any annual cash incentive award to our employees, including our named executive officers.

Executive Compensation

In January 2005, we entered into an agreement with Michael Cohen, pursuant to which Mr. Cohen serves as President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Cohen is entitled to receive a salary of $250,000 per annum, plus an annual bonus of no less than 30% of the base salary. The Board of Directors may increase the Basic Compensation based upon the performance of the company and Mr. Cohen.  Mr. Cohen’s minimum bonus of $75,000 per annum has not been paid and has accrued. As of December 31, 2009, Mr. Cohen has not earned a bonus except for the minimum bonus stipulated in his employment agreement. The agreement with Mr. Cohen was amended on December 21, 2009, to memorialize bonus milestones which had been orally agreed to. The amended agreement establishes bonus milestones as follows: positive cash flow for the Company as a whole (including subsidiaries) on a calendar quarter basis; the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ patents becoming effective; FDA approval of any of the Company’s technologies for Phase I, II and III; sales of cosmeceuticals by the Company’s subsidiary Proteoderm, and Proteoderm becoming a public company. Additional milestones may be adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time. The amendment covers period from January 4, 2008 to December 31, 2010.

In addition, Mr. Cohen is entitled to the issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock upon the filing of patent applications naming him as investigator or inventor, which are assigned to the Company, and the granting of patents which are assigned to the Company.

unless terminated by the Company or Mr. Cohen by written notice given 90 days prior to the expiration of the agreement. The agreement may also be terminated by us for “cause," or by Mr. Cohen for “good reason," as such terms are defined in the agreement. Upon termination, Mr. Cohen will be entitled to 36 months’ salary, and benefits, including health insurance, and options, if any are issued, which have not vested at the time of termination. Upon the death of Mr. Cohen while the agreement is in effect, the thirty-six months’ continuation of compensation and benefits shall be paid to the JSM Family Trust, and his immediate family will remain covered by the Company’s health insurance plan.

On July 1, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert Kohn, pursuant to which Mr. Kohn serves as Chief Financial Officer until June 29, 2012. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Kohn is entitled to receive a salary of $150,000 per annum which accrues until the Company has raised $1,500,000. Mr. Kohn will receive an additional $50,000 per annum if the Company receives $3,000,000 in debt, equity or joint venture funding and an additional $50,000 per annum if the Company receives $10,000,000 in debt, equity or joint venture funding. In addition, Mr. Kohn is entitled to the issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock upon the execution of the employment agreement as a signing bonus. The shares have not been issued and were subject to an oral agreement for a four month probationary period, which ended November 2, 2009. The Company was not obligated to issue shares until the probationary period had been met and the employee had not been terminated. Mr. Kohn will also receive an additional 250,000 shares upon the spin-off of Proteoderm as a public company in the event such spin-off occurs during the term of the agreement.

In addition, Mr. Kohn receives a benefits package including health insurance, vision, dental, and life insurance. In addition, pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Kohn is entitled to reimbursement for all medical and dental expenses for himself and his immediate family which are not covered by insurance. The agreement is for a term of three years from July 1, 2009, unless terminated by the Company or Mr. Kohn by written notice given 90 days prior to the expiration of the agreement. The agreement may also be terminated by us for "cause," as such term is defined in the agreement. Upon termination, Mr. Kohn will only be entitled to accrued salary, and benefits which have vested at the time of termination. Mr. Kohn resigned October 4, 2010 and was paid his contractual obligations through September 30, 2010.

In May, 2008, we entered into a consulting agreement with Kenneth Steiner, M. D., which was amended in February, 2009. The term of the agreement is for two years, pursuant to which Dr. Steiner serves as our Chief Operating Officer. He will receive an aggregate of 350,000 shares upon completion of the two-year term of the agreement. Mr. Steiner’s contract ended September 1, 2010 and was not renewed.. In November, 2007, we entered into agreements with Antonio Moura, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer and Joel Pensley, Secretary and Counsel, both of which were amended in February, 2009. Mr. Moura has received 104,000 Shares as compensation for his services rendered and to be rendered. Mr. Pensley received 480,000 Shares, for services rendered and to be rendered to the Company. Mr. Pensley resigned December 29, 2009 and Mr. Moura resigned August 4, 2010.

On October 29, 2007, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Ian McNiece to become Chief Scientific Officer and conjointly to develop and license the ex vivo umbilical cord expansion technology to our subsidiary, National Stem Cell, Inc. for which he would receive 250,000 shares of our common stock (25,000 shares post split). Further, upon the completion of a Phase II trial, Dr. McNiece would receive an additional 250,000 shares (25,000 post split). In addition, Dr. McNiece would receive $50,000 at the initiation of the Phase II FDA trial and upon the receipt of granting approval for marketing of the ex vivo expansion technology, he would receive a payment of $150,000 and 1.5% of net sales.

Until the Company has raised a total of $3 million in equity or convertible debt, Dr. McNiece's cash compensation will accrue.

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

To ensure the independence of Proteonomix’s independent auditor and to comply with applicable securities laws, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing, deliberating and, if appropriate, pre-approving all audit, audit-related, and non-audit services to be performed by Proteonomix’s independent registered public accountants.  For that purpose, the Audit Committee has established a policy and related procedures regarding the pre-approval of all audits, audit-related, and non-audit services to be performed by Proteonomix’s independent accountants (the "Policy").

 

The Policy provides that Proteonomix’s independent accountant may not perform any audit, audit-related, or non-audit service for Guardian, subject to those exceptions that may be permitted by applicable law, unless (1) the service has been pre-approved by the Audit Committee, or (2) Proteonomix engaged the independent registered public accountant to perform the service pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy. In addition, the Policy prohibits the Audit Committee from pre-approving certain non-audit services that are prohibited from being performed by Proteonomix’s independent accountant by applicable securities laws. The Policy also provides that the Chief Financial Officer will periodically update the Audit Committee as to services provided by the independent auditor. With respect to each such service, the independent registered public accountant provides detailed back-up documentation to the board and the Chief Financial Officer.

 

Pursuant to its Policy, the Audit Committee has pre-approved certain categories of services to be performed by the independent registered public accountant and a maximum amount of fees for each category. The Board annually re-assesses these service categories and the associated fees. Individual projects within the approved service categories have been pre-approved only to the extent that the fees for each individual project do not exceed a specified dollar limit, which amount is re-assessed annually. Projects within a pre-approved service category with fees in excess of the specified fee limit for individual projects may not proceed without the specific prior approval of the Audit Committee. In addition, no project within a pre-approved service category will be considered to have been pre-approved by the Board if the project causes the maximum amount of fees for the service category to be exceeded, and the project may only proceed with the prior approval of the Audit Committee to increase the aggregate amount of fees for the service category.

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has appointed the firm of KBL, LLP, to serve as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.  

 

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company paid (or will pay) the following fees for services rendered during the year or for the audit in respect of those years:

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TOGETHER WITH THE REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Stockholders

Proteonomix, Inc.

Mountainside, NJ


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Proteonomix, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Proteonomix, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.   As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained significant operating losses and is currently in default of its debt instrument and needs to obtain additional financing or restructure its current obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Proteonomix, Inc. (the “Company") is a Delaware corporation incorporated on June 26, 1995 as Azurel, Ltd. In September 2006, Azurel, Ltd. changed its name to National Stem Cell Holding, Inc. and then in August 2008 the name of the Company was changed to Proteonomix, Inc.

Azurel, Ltd. was incorporated on June 26, 1995 in the State of Delaware and marketed a line of fragrances. On February 2, 2001, Azurel filed a voluntary petition for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, Newark until it was discharged from bankruptcy in December, 2005. Control was changed in September 2006 when Azurel acquired National Stem Cell, Inc. and its subsidiary, The Sperm Bank of New York, Inc. through a share exchange agreement.  In this transaction the common stock was reverse split 1:37. Azurel subsequently changed its name following the acquisition. Then again in August 2008, the Company reverse split its stock 1:10 when the name was changed to Proteonomix, Inc.

On January 14, 2005, National Stem Cell, Inc. acquired The Sperm Bank of New York, Inc. a company established in 1997 operating as a reproductive cell and tissue bank. National Stem Cell, Inc. acquired The Sperm Bank of New York, from its sole shareholder, for a note payable in the amount of $150,000 and acquired the accounts receivable and inventory valued at $150,000. On January 13, 2006, National Stem Cell Inc. converted the note payable into 21,866 shares of common stock. The acquisition was treated as a purchase transaction.

On July 8, 2008, the Company formed Proteoderm, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Through this subsidiary, the Company produces and synthesizes protein polypeptides and growth hormones secreted by stem cells and incorporates them into uniquely formulated personal care products. Proteoderm, Inc. has generated no revenues since inception.

On January 5, 2010, the Company formed the Proteonomix Regenerative Translational Medicine Institute, (“PRTMI”), as a wholly-owned subsidiary. PRTMI will focus on the translation of research in stem cell biology and cellular therapy to clinical applications of regenerative medicine.  PRTMI formed PRTMI RD, a company incorporated in the Dominican Republic in February, 2010.  

On February 24, 2010 the Company acquired StromaCel, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary for the price of its formation cost on December 24, 2009.  The mission of StromaCel is to develop therapies using stromal cells. Stromal cells are key components of tissues and provide critical cytokines and growth factors as well as the cellular microenvironment for normal homeostasis.

On May 4, 2010, Proteonomix licensed from the Cohen-McNiece Foundation the Stromal Cell technology for potential therapeutic use in the regrowth of damaged cardiac cells after a heart attack.  The Cohen-McNiece Foundation was formed by Proteonomix President, Michael Cohen, and its Chief Scientific Officer and Vice-President, Ian McNiece, PhD to develop cellular technology for patients who have suffered myocardial infarctions.  The Technology was licensed in exchange for a 2% royalty on gross revenue derived from use of the StromalCel Technology and 1,000,000 stock options exercisable for five years at $3.55 per share vested immediately to Michael Cohen, our President and 90% owner of the Cohen-McNiece Foundation. The 2% royalty will be used by the Foundation to do further research into stem cell applications. Proteonomix also received a right of first refusal to license any technology developed by the Foundation.

Proteonomix has sub-licensed the StromaCel Technology to StromaCel for a 2% royalty, but Proteonomix will remain responsible for all costs associated with patent prosecution for the StromaCel Technology. In the event of bankruptcy, the rights to the Technology granted by the license revert to the Foundation.

On August 6, 2010 the Company formed a new subsidiary XGen Medical LLC, a Nevis British Virgin Islands entity (“XGen Medical” or “XGen”). X Gen Medical has been established with the intention of conducting business in the global medical marketplace. Proteonomix plans on utilizing XGen Medical to serve as a platform for joint ventures with medical facilities worldwide. It was anticipated that new relationships formed with XGen Medical will create medical facilities capable of not just attracting treatments locally, but also acting as hubs for medical tourism. The establishment of a separate subsidiary, XGen Medical LLC., was useful in order to allow Proteonomix to properly enter global markets with the intention of soliciting business through our proprietary PRTMI model.  Under an agreement, two investors were responsible for investing $5,000,000 into XGen Medical in exchange for a 49% interest in XGen Medical.  In exchange for the investment StromaCel was to provide XGen Medical with the technology and know how to practice the cardiac treatment utilizing the technology, and Proteoderm granted distribution rights to cosmeceuticals containing the proprietary stromal cell cosmetic technology in the GCC countries. Due to a default by one of the investors, the remaining investor has indicated that payments toward satisfaction of the contract will be made. To the date of this filing no such payments have been made. The Company plans on litigating to the fullest extent of the law to collect this investment along with any penalties incurred in the default. The negotiations with the second investor failed and the counterparties to the XGen Medical Agreements breached their contract responsibilities. We have assumed one hundred percent (100%) ownership of XGen Medical and are contemplating legal actions against both Patrizio Shawal Pilati and Valentina Erps Jones, the counterparties to the XGen Medical Agreement. The minority shareholders that are in default will be pursued by all legal means.  XGen, for the year ended December 31, 2010 and as of December 31, 2010, has only recorded those agreements that were negotiated by Proteonomix, Inc., the 100% owner of XGen.

The Company owns and operates six subsidiaries, The Sperm Bank of New York, Inc., Proteoderm, Inc., National Stem Cell, Inc., PRTMI, StromaCel, Inc. and XGen Medical, LLC.  

The Company is a biotechnology company engaged in the discovery and development of stem cell therapeutic products. The Company is developing pre-clinical-stage therapeutic agents and treatments for cancer, diabetes, heart, lung, and kidney diseases as well as for stem cell bone marrow and organ transplants. The Company’s discoveries involve stem cell treatments without using embryonic stem cells.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC") 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10"). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Positions or Emerging Issue Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs").

The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

Going Concern

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s revenue generating activities consisting solely of the sperm bank activities have not produced sufficient funds for profitable operations and we have incurred significant operating losses since inception. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional financing on acceptable terms, and the success of future operations. We have recently established a majority owned subsidiary in XGen Medical, LLC which will provide a new source of revenue, and continue to develop out stem cell technology and cosmeceutical product line. We anticipate revenues to commence by the end of 2011 on these products. We have outstanding trade and accrued payables of $2,952,590 which include accrued salaries due to our management of $1,362,500. In addition to these payables, we have outstanding loans from our Senior Officer’s of $1,098,421.

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements the Company has incurred recurring losses of $3,470,035 and $3,858,012 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  In addition, the Company has a working capital deficit in the amount of $6,892,315 as of December 31, 2010. The Company has continued to develop its pre-clinical-stage therapeutic agents and various treatments utilizing stem cell treatments while generating revenues and operating its sperm bank division.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, contains an explanatory paragraph wherein they expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Accordingly, careful consideration of such opinions should be given in determining whether to continue or become our stockholder.

 

As of December 31, 2010, we had a cash balance of $18. Management believes these funds to be insufficient to fund our operations, absent any cash flow from operations or funds from the sale of our equity or debt securities. We are currently spending or incurring (and accruing) expenses of approximately $175,000 per month on operations and the continued research and development of our technologies and products.  Management believes that we will require approximately an additional $2,100,000 to fund our operations for the next 12 months and to repay certain outstanding trade payables and accrued expenses.

 

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period. Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include the final phase of development of their pre-clinical stage therapeutic agents being successful as well as product implementation and distribution.  

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to derivative liabilities, bad debts, income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents. Any amounts of cash in financial institutions over FDIC insured limits, exposes the Company to cash concentration risk.  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (other than Derivative Financial Instruments)

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. For the notes payable, the carrying amount reported is based upon the incremental borrowing rates otherwise available to the Company for similar borrowings.  

Research and Development

The Company incurs costs on activities that relate to research and development of new technology and products.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Certain of these costs may be reduced by government grants and investment tax credits where applicable. The Company has never had any government grants or investment tax credits.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents and intellectual property, which are carried at the purchase price and/or the legal cost to obtain them. Patents are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to seventeen years. The cost of intellectual property purchased from others that is immediately marketable or that has an alternative future use is capitalized and amortized as intangible assets. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related asset. The Company periodically reviews its capitalized intangible assets to assess recoverability based on the projected undiscounted cash flows from operations, and impairments are recognized in operating results when a permanent diminution in value occurs.

The value assigned to the license is not currently being amortized because the license is perpetual. The Company will test for impairment on an annual basis and impair the value if necessary.



F-8


Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue for the sales of its donor sperm samples, which have been the only source of revenue to date are when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a fee is based upon a variable such as acceptance by the customer, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company defers revenue and recognizes it when it becomes due and payable. The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the time collection becomes reasonably assured.

The Company anticipates revenue from support agreements it enters into will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, although the fee is due and payable at the time the agreement is signed or upon annual renewal.

Accounts Receivable

The Company intends to conduct business with companies based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral.  Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary from customer to customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. Management has determined that there is an allowance of $144,310 for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2010.

Accounts receivable will generally be due within 30 days and collateral is not required.

Income Taxes

Under ASC 740 the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

Under ASC 740-10-25 recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions is required using a “more-likely-than-not" approach.  Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis and has determined that as of December 31, 2010 no additional accrual for income taxes is necessary.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets; equipment - 5 years, and furniture and fixtures - 5 years.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period.  The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Deduction is made for retirements resulting from renewals or betterments.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, primarily its licenses and fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. The Company does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators.  Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.

(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on the consolidated statement of operations due to the fact that the Company reported a net loss and to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

In 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718-10 “Share Based Payments". The adoption of this principle had no effect on the Company’s operations.

 

 

 

F-10

 

 

 

ASC 718-10 requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payments based on fair value. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company measured compensation expense for all of its share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method.

 

The Company has elected to use the modified-prospective approach method. Under that transition method, the calculated expense in 2006 is equivalent to compensation expense for all awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair values. The Company recognizes these compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a pro rata basis over the requisite service period of each vesting tranche of each award. The Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option forfeitures when estimating the forfeiture rate.  

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services".  The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital. For common stock issuances to non-employees that are fully vested and are for future periods, the Company classifies these issuances as prepaid expenses and expenses the prepaid expenses over the service period. At no time has the Company issued common stock for a period that exceeds one year.

Segment Information

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280-10, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".  This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making internal operating decisions.  The Company operates in five distinct reporting segments, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis) or market. Inventory of $187,299 as of December 31, 2010 consists of donor’s sperm samples. Based on the method in which these samples are contained, it is very rare that a sample would spoil. Samples are cleared for cryopreservation after rigorous laboratory testing. Samples are cryopreserved in nitrogen vapor and are maintained frozen until purchased by a client. There has been no reserve for obsolescence of inventory and inventory is only removed upon use. The Company, to date has never destroyed any samples in inventory, or sold samples that were not viable (alive after been thawed for use).

 

Beneficial Conversion Features

ASC 470-20 applies to convertible securities with beneficial conversion features that must be settled in stock and to those that give the issuer a choice in settling the obligation in either stock or cash. ASC 470-20 requires that the beneficial conversion feature should be valued at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair market value of the common stock into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. ASC 470-20 further limits this amount to the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

In accordance with ASC 810-10-45, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company classifies controlling interests as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has applied the provisions in ASC 810-10-45 to the financial information for the years ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company formed XGen and was a 51% owner, however retained the remaining 49% shortly after formation. As a result, no amounts were applied to the former minority owners of XGen. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, ASC issued 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption of ASC 820 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In February 2007, ASC issued 825-10, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of ASC 320-10, (“ASC 825-10") which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. ASC 825-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

In December 2007, the ASC issued ASC 810-10-65, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. ASC 810-10-65 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment.

ASC 810-10-65 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Management is determining the impact that the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the Company adopted ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805"). ASC 805 retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. ASC 805 defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control.  ASC 805 will require an entity to record separately from the business combination the direct costs, where previously these costs were included in the total allocated cost of the acquisition.  ASC 805 will require an entity to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date.

 

 

F-11

 

 

ASC 805 will require an entity to recognize as an asset or liability at fair value for certain contingencies, either contractual or non-contractual, if certain criteria are met.  Finally, ASC 805 will require an entity to recognize contingent consideration at the date of acquisition, based on the fair value at that date.  This will be effective for business combinations completed on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is not permitted and the ASC is to be applied prospectively only.  Upon adoption of this ASC, there would be no impact to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for acquisitions previously completed.  The adoption of ASC 805 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, ASC issued ASC 815, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", (“ASC 815"). ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss: how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that ASC 815 will have an impact on their results of operations or financial position.

In April 2008, ASC issued ASC 350, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets". This amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350. The guidance is used for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The Company does not believe ASC 350 will materially impact their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC 470-20, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" (“ASC 470-20") requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. ASC 470-20 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASC 470-20 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC 815-40, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock" (“ASC 815-40"), provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock and it applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative. ASC 815-40 also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock. The Company is determining what impact, if any, ASC 815-40 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ASC 470-20-65, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios" (“ASC 470-20-65"). ASC 470-20-65 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2008. The overall objective of ASC 470-20-65 is to provide for consistency in application of the standard. The Company has computed and recorded a beneficial conversion feature in connection with certain of their prior financing arrangements and does not believe that ASC 470-20-65 will have a material effect on that accounting.

In May 2009, the FASB published ASC 855, “Subsequent Events" (“ASC 855"). ASC 855 requires the Company to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05"). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required for Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In January 2010, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). These standards require new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The standards also require new disclosures of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements. The standard also clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. These new disclosures are effective beginning with the first interim filing in 2010. The disclosures about the roll forward of information in Level 3 are required for the Company with its first interim filing in 2011. The Company does not believe this standard will impact their financial statements.

 

 

F-12

 

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”. This update addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provision related to subsequent events (paragraph 855-10-50-4). The amendments in this update have the potential to change reporting by both private and public entities, however, the nature of the change may vary depending on facts and circumstances. Adoption of ASU 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Other ASU’s that have been issued or proposed by the FASB ASC that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 10 -STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Preferred Stock

In April 2009, the Company had determined that it had not obtained the proper authorization required to issue any classes of its preferred stock.  As a result, it was determined that the issuance of the Company’s Class A and Class B Preferred Stock were never legally executed, as such, do not exist.  Therefore, as of January, 2005, the Company established an unsettled obligation to the holders of any aforementioned Class A and Class B Preferred Stock.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $.001. The Company increased the authorized shares from 4,000,000 to 10,000,000 on July 21, 2008. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time, in one or more series, each series to be appropriately designated by a distinguishing letter or title, prior to the issue of any shares thereof. In August 2008, the Company’s board of directors approved a 1:10 reverse split. All shares reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are shown post-split.

In May 2009, the Company formally designated three series of preferred stock; the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock consists of 200,000 shares, convertible into common stock, each share for 10 shares of common stock; the Series B Preferred Stock which consists of 6 shares; and the Series C Preferred Stock which consists of 50,000 shares.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock. The Company, prior to realizing that the preferred stock had not been properly authorized, assumed that it had issued 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in 2005 to its President. The 200,000 shares were thought to have been issued for a value of a $2,000 (par) as founders’ shares. As a result, the Company performed an informal valuation and determined there was no increase in the value of the preferred stock and as of December 31, 2008, there was a $2,000 obligation to issue preferred shares on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. These shares were issued in May 2009.

The Company also had assumed that it had properly issued 6 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock enables the holder to nominate and appoint one member to the board of directors. The Company’s President was to be the holder of the six shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and upon proper authorization, the Company formally issued these shares to the President in May 2009. The Series B Preferred Shares value is par.

 

On July 1, 2009, Michael Cohen and Jacob Cohen entered into a technology license agreement with Company relating to stem cell based cosmetic and cosmeceutical technologies they developed. The license agreement provides that they receive a) 50,000 Shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share and (b) the right to receive 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s subsidiary, Proteoderm, Inc. in the event it shall become a public company. The right set forth above shall be non-transferable except to the JSM Family Trust. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one hundred votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the Corporation’s shareholders. The 50,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock were issued in July 2009.

NOTE 11 -

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return.  

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  At December 31, 2010, deferred tax assets consist of the following:  

 

Net operating losses

$ 5,917,452

Valuation allowance

(5,917,452)

$

-


At December 31, 2010, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward in the amount of $17,404,270 available to offset future taxable income through 2030.  The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.  A reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate as a percentage of income before taxes and federal statutory rate for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is summarized as follows:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands fair value financial statement disclosure requirements. ASC 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

The following table represents the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010:

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On February 1, 2011, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering an exchange proposal whereby shareholders would exchange their common stock for convertible preferred stock that would allow the holder to convert their preferred stock into 1.3 times as many common shares by paying a declining conversion price and ultimately converting their common shares after three years at no additional price. Management believes that this transaction will not impact our business model nor our scientific research in the short or long term.

 

In January, 2011, Ian McNiece joined the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Company formed Thor BioPharma, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary to exploit the Company’s UMK-121 Technology related to stem cells that was licensed during the same month from the Cohen McNiece Foundation.  The management of the Company will divert resources to Thor Biopharma as the need may arise.

 

In January, the Company issued previously approved shares of the Company common stock to Michael Cohen, 625,000 shares for debt conversion of $322,500, and Steven Byle, 178,572 shares for debt conversion of $100,000.

 

On February 1, 2011, the Company filed an additional patent application. The application has been filed to improve the Company's patent position on StromaCel with respect to a newly developed breakthrough method of stem cell expansion. This new methodology is used to mass-produce stem cells for therapeutic use once the stem cell line has been selected and purified. The Company believes that the new process application will dramatically expand product availability and reduce the cost of production of StromaCel to the Company and patient. The Company believes that the technology presented in the new patent application will allow it to move to a new clinical trial quickly for the StromaCel product. Furthermore, the Company believes that this expansion model will be applicable to a wide range of stem cell technologies, providing further trials and potential revenue streams to the Company.

 

On March 22, 2011, the Company was notified by a collection agency regarding a debt owed to a prior law firm in the amount of $168,812. The Company’s legal counsel is investigating this claim, however the Company does not believe that the amount is owed. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has included this amount in its accounts payable and accrued expenses while they determine if the amount claimed is due.
