FERO INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2011


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Fero Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 11, 2000.  The Company’s activities up to March 31, 2011 has been focused on the manufacture and sale of a treatment for Type II Diabetes called Sucanon and capital formation.  In January of 2011, the Company commenced its planned business activity which was the marketing and selling of pharmaceutical drugs.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any interim period or the entire year. For further information, these financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010 included in the Company’s report on Form 10-K.


NOTE 2 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605.  Sales revenues are recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured.  These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of shipment when risk of loss and title passes to the customer.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 98% owned subsidiary Pharmaroth de CV. a company incorporated under the laws of Mexico.  All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable.  The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities.  The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.

F-4



FERO INDUSTRIES, INC.

 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2011


EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants.  Basic and diluted EPS are the same for the Company, as of March 31, 2011, as the Company does not have any common share equivalents outstanding.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable.  The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities.  The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants.  Basic and diluted EPS are the same for the Company, as of March 31, 2011, as the Company does not have any common share equivalents outstanding.

INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expanse items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate.  Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.  

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash.  During the year the Company did not maintain cash deposits at financial institution in excess of the $100,000 limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company does not expect that the adoption of recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

The acquired assets include all of the intellectual property rights, training, and “know how” to manufacture and produce Sucanon, including sources and suppliers of Sucanon ingredients and mixing equipment; certain associated trademarks and patents ("Acquired Assets"). The Acquired Assets include the exclusive world-wide rights to manufacture, sell and distribute Sucanon. The Company purchased the Acquired Assets for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. The Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party and customary closing conditions. Breaches of the representations and warranties were subject to customary indemnification provisions, subject to specified aggregate limits of liability.


On June 29, 2010, the Company and Gvest determined that all closing conditions had been met and that the transaction should therefore close based on the terms and conditions thereof. On July 1, 2010, the Company received such documents necessary to conduct complete and full due diligence relating to the Acquired Assets.


On July 7, 2010, the Company determined, based on a full review and the completion of due diligence related to the Acquired Assets, the Company has determined that the Acquired Assets will allow the Company to move forward with its new business plan to make, manufacture and distribute Sucanon world-wide.


Overview

Fero’s mission is to acquire healthcare related companies, products, and technologies that have large market potential, improve the quality of care, or have unmet needs. Fero is focused on the medical device, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and healthcare IT industries. Fero's mission is to create and enhance shareholder value via a growth-by-acquisition strategy by acquiring synergistic companies, products, and technologies that have large market potential, improve the quality of care, or have unmet needs.

Fero’s initial focus is on diabetes. The Company has acquired the intellectual property and other exclusive world-wide rights related to the production, marketing, and distribution of Sucanon also known as Diab II, a treatment for Type II diabetes.

 

Sucanon is approved and is sold as an Over-The-Counter ("OTC") herbal remedy for Type II diabetes in Mexico and as a prescription pharmaceutical in Peru. Sucanon has also undergone clinical trials in China and Brazil. Application for United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of Sucanon has not been made. As such, it is not offered for sale nor approved for sale in the United States at this time. The Company will consider applying for FDA approval in the near future.


Current Product

Sucanon is one of only several drugs in the world, belonging to a class of diabetic medications called insulin sensitizers.  Insulin sensitizers lower blood sugar by increasing the muscle, fat and liver’s sensitivity to insulin.  Insulin sensitizers are blood sugar normalizing or euglycemic drugs that help return the blood sugar to the normal range without the risk of low blood sugars.


 

 

1.

Insulin binding to receptors and entering the cell, (which is impeded in NIDDM patients), is essential for the uptake of glucose;

2.

Sucanon increases the binding of insulin to its receptors;

 

3.     Sucanon increases the internalization of insulin; and,

4.     As a result, Sucanon increases the intracellular level of insulin, which then increases the uptake of glucose.


Sucanon is a medication that helps the body make better use of its own insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels.  Type II Diabetics produce insulin, but their cells gradually lose the ability to absorb and use insulin to get sugar out of the blood stream.  Sucanon transports sugar out of the blood stream and into cells where it can be burned.  Sucanon particularly helps muscle cells use insulin and thus draws sugar out of the blood stream.


Sucanon increases sensitivity to insulin which leads to decreased blood sugar levels and a reduction of a wide range of Type II Diabetes symptoms, including: weight gain, fatigue, excess thirst and excess urination.  The reduction in blood sugar levels also reduces the possibility of peripheral nerve damage; this damage caused to peripheral nerves by chronic high blood sugar can ultimately lead to impotence in men and amputation of limbs in both men and women.


Sucanon is an herbal medication. It is derived from the combination of the dried root of tricosanthis and molybdenum, a light metal.  Sucanon’s chemical name is manitolatodimolybdate.

Clinical Trial Summary:

Clinical trials on Sucanon were performed in China.  After submission of a New Drug Application ("NDA") Sucanon was approved by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) of China.  Subsequent clinical trials were also performed on Sucanon in Brazil, yet the trials have not yet been completed.


Sucanon clinical trials were shown to reduce the problems and symptoms of Type II Diabetes:


High blood sugar:  Clinical studies have shown that Sucanon reduces blood sugar readings by about 25% - 30% and brings high blood sugar back into the normal range (non-fasting blood sugar  is above 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) or fasting blood sugar is above 126 mg/dL).


Fatigue:  Clinical studies have shown that Sucanon reduces fatigue.  Fatigue is a frequent symptom of Type II Diabetes or a pre-diabetic condition called Impaired Glucose Tolerance


Weight gain:  Clinical studies have shown that people who have taken Sucanon report weight loss along with increased energy. Very often, people who are diabetic or pre-diabetic gain weight because their insulin-resistance leads to sugar being converted into fat instead of being burned to produce energy.


Excess thirst and urination:  Clinical studies have shown that Sucanon reduces excess thirst and excess urination. Higher-than-normal levels of blood sugar instigate thirst, which in turn leads to increased frequency of urination. 


High cholesterol and triglyceride levels:  Clinical studies have shown that Sucanon reduces the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides People who are diabetic or pre-diabetic often have elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.  Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides significantly increase the risk of heart disease.


Side effects: Clinical studies have shown that Sucanon showed no side effectsThis sets Sucanon apart from many other anti-diabetic products, which can have effects on digestion, the liver, or the heart.


Toxicity: Clinical studies have shown that Sucanon toxicity was undistinguishable from the placebo.  In addition, Sucanon showed no carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity in mice.


Clinical Results

Clinical Experience


The clinical benefits of Sucanon were convincingly demonstrated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo- & Glibenclamide-controlled, multi-center, efficacy and safety study in 370 adult patients with Type II diabetes. Sucanon was administered as tablets, one in the morning and one in the evening. The duration of the study was 6 months: four months treatment, preceded by one month screening evaluation, and followed by one month post-treatment follow-up.


Glibenclamide is a commonly prescribed sulfonylurea; its benefits and limitations have been well known to diabetologists for over a decade. The parameters of response to therapy included an evaluation of the changes in clinical signs and symptoms of diabetes, an alteration in the blood and urine measurements of glucose metabolism, and an alteration in blood lipid levels.


The results indicated that the parameters of disease activity in patients receiving either Glibenclamide or Sucanon responded in a highly relevant clinical manner and that the differences from baseline measurements were statistically highly significant (p values <0.01). The lack of response in the group of patients who were randomized to receive placebo was also unequivocal, where the effect of administration was clinically small or non-existent, and the baseline to treatment difference was statistically insignificant (p value >0.05). An extract of the data is summarized in the following graphs and tables.

Table 2

Results from table 1 expressed as “Percent Improvement” (baseline to end of treatment)

 

 

Response to therapy was documented not only by a loss of, or a reduction in, disease related symptoms which included polyuria, polvdipsia, polyphagia, and fatigue, but also by the improvement in objective parameters of disease, namely, a reduction to normal or near normal levels in the elevated fasting blood glucose, and urinary sugar, and a normalization of the 100 g - oral glucose tolerance test. The objective results are given in table 1 above where the mean and standard deviations for these Values are listed, as well as the calculated "t" and “p" values. Given that the coefficient of variance of baseline values for the three treatment groups is small, and the patient number per group relatively large (n = 123), a between treatment group comparison is not unreasonable.

These calculations (not shown) reveal that the improvements associated with therapy for both the Glibenclamide group of patients and the Sucanon group of patients were both better than placebo for all objective parameters measured to a level that was statistically significant (p Values <0.05 to <0.01 respectively. This was not surprising from the t values listed in table 1. The difference in reduction of fasting blood glucose between the latter treatment groups was not statistically significant (p value >.0.05).

Pre-clinical pharmacology


Pre-clinical in vivo and in vitro studies have identified that intravenous and oral Sucanon is pharmacodynamically active in diabetic rats, and out-performed all biguanides and sulfonylureas tested in those models.

When added to rat muscle cells, its critical influence commences in seconds as it up-regulates insulin receptors, in a manner not yet understood, with the resultant increase in insulin endocytosis, uptake of glucose, and L-leucine effects, all of which last more than an hour.


In single-dose rat studies, peak response in lowering blood glucose takes 2 to 4 hours to occur, and the effect is lost by about 10 hours. Multiple oral dosing in rats (48 days) and up to 4 months in man, shows no loss of activity. Clear-cut pharmacological dose-response features were documented. Sucanon is also superior to other hypoglycemic agents in these models.

 

Toxicity

 


The therapeutic index is so large (10,000 in mice) that its margin of safety must be unique in the armamentarium of drugs for the treatment of diabetes. Carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity toxicities were not found in mice. Chronic dosing in dogs and rats at 2000 times the therapeutic dose was free of any toxicity.


Sucanon Regulatory Approvals:

Sucanon has been approved for prescription sale in Peru and has been approved as an over-the-counter (non-prescription) product in Mexico. Application for United States FDA regulatory approval has not yet been made.  Thus, doctors cannot prescribe nor purchase Sucanon in the United States. However, Type II diabetics can buy Sucanon for their own use and have it delivered to them from Mexico under the U.S. FDA’s “personal importation” guidelines. A similar program exists for Type II diabetics in Canada who wish to buy Sucanon for their own use.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                   As of March 31, 2011 the Company produced Gross Revenues of $200,150 and cost of sales in the amount of $119,672 resulting in a gross profit of $ 80,478.


We incurred operating expenses of $178,723 and $1,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2009, respectively.  The increase of $177,723 is a result of the commencement of production  of the company’s Type II Diabetes treatmnent and administrative expenses.


During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized a net loss of $100,768 compared to a net loss of $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increase was a result of the increase in operational expenses as discussed above.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At March 31, 2011, we had total assets of $94,799 consisting of cash and accounts eceivable.  At March 31, 2011, we had total current liabilities of $390,073 consisting of accounts payable of $79,246, advances from shareholders of $12,735, and a promissory note for $250,000,accrued interest expense of $8,279 and taxes payable in the amount of $39,633.


During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we used cash of $146,704 in operations as compared to nil for the nine months ended March 31, 2010..


During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not have any cash flows from investment activities.  


During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we received $146,737 from our financing activities.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we received nil from our financing activities.

ITEM 4. 

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2011.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of March 31, 2011, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer/principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.


Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on these criteria.

             As a result of the above adjustments, the Balance Sheets, Statement of Operation and Statement of Cash Flows required adjustment to reflect previously unrecorded transactions that occurred during the period ended March 31, 2011

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies. (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system.


The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC's reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.


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


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.


The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plan

Addition of Staff

We have identified that additional staff will be required to properly segment the accounting duties of the Company. However, we do not currently have resources to fulfill this part of our plan and will be addressing this matter once sufficient resources are available.
