VITRO DIAGNOSTICS, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements


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



Basis of Presentation


The unaudited condensed financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and the accounting policies in its Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010 and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.


In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations presented for the period ended April 30, 2011 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.


Financial data presented herein are unaudited.


Nature of Organization


The Company was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on February 3, 1986.  From November of 1990 through July 31, 2000, the Company was engaged in the development, manufacturing and distribution of purified human antigens (“Diagnostics”) that were derived primarily from human tissues.  The Company also developed cell technology including immortalization of certain cells that allowed entry into other markets besides diagnostics.  However, during the 1990’s, the Company’s sales were solely attributable to the sales of purified human antigens for diagnostic applications.   


Following the sale of its Diagnostics operations in August of 2000, the Company began devoting all efforts to its cellular generation technology which evolved from a focus on induction of cellular immortalization to technology related to stem cells.  Stem cell technology has potentially broad application to many medical areas, including drug discovery and development together with numerous therapeutic applications to diseases involving cellular degeneration, injury or to the treatment of cancer.  The Company launched a series of products targeting basic research in stem cell technology in 2009.  These Tools for Stem Cell and Drug Discovery offer researchers basic tools needed to advance stem cell technology including stem cells and their derivatives, media for growth and differentiation of stem cells and advanced tools for measurement of stem cell quality, potency and response to toxic agents.  The Company has been granted patents for its proprietary technology related to the immortalization of human cells and subsequently expanded this technology to include patented and patent-pending technology involving generation of stem cells with potential application to a variety of commercial opportunities including the treatment of degenerative diseases and drug discovery.




7





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


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


Basis of Presentation – Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has suffered significant losses since inception and has working capital and shareholders’ deficits at April 30, 2011, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and generate revenues and profits from operations.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company has financed its operations primarily through cash advances from the president and chairman, as well as through various private placements of equity securities.  At various times during the six months ended April 30, 2011 and year ended October 31, 2010, the president and chairman advanced the Company a total of $190,900 for working capital on an “as needed” basis. In December 2009 the Company raised $87,500 through a private placement of common stock and warrants.  And in September 2010, the Company raised $30,000 in a private placement of common stock to two investors.  There is no assurance that these advances or equity offerings will continue in the future.

 

The Company has formed strategic alliances and is presently engaged in discussions with other companies that have expressed interest in the commercialization of the Company’s stem cell and fertility drug technology. Management intends to pursue these and other opportunities with the objective of establishing strategic alliances to enhance its revenue generation and to fund further development and commercialization of its key technologies. Also, the Company has new stem cell products that were launched during fiscal year 2009.  Initial revenues from these products have been established and management intends to pursue enhanced revenue generation from this product line and development of other related products to the fullest extent possible given its resources.  A current focus is expanded distribution of the Company’s advanced stem cell media, MSCGro, since management believes that these products show performance advantages over the current



8





leaders in this market sector.  There is no assurance that any of these initiatives will yield sufficient capital to maintain the Companys operations. In such an event, management intends to pursue various strategic alternatives.


In March 2011, the Company formed a license agreement with a third party for its patented technology related to treatment of infertility.  The terms of this agreement included a license fee and royalties on any future sales derived from the patent license by the licensee.  The transaction resulted in a significant reduction of the Company’s accrued payroll obligation to a former employee.  See Note I for further discussion regarding this transaction.


Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Use of estimates


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


Cash equivalents


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


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers.  The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.  At April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010 no allowances were recorded and all amounts due from customers were considered collectible.


Inventory


Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market.  Finished goods inventories include certain allocations of labor and overhead.  At April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, finished goods included approximately $6,800 and $10,100, respectively, of labor and overhead allocations.  Inventories consisted of the following:

          12,890

 

 $  21,520

 

 $     20,493



Research and development


The Company’s operations are predominantly in research and development (“R&D”).  These costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of costs for: salaries, overhead and occupancy, contract services and other outside costs, quality assurance and analytical testing. As the Company has also expanded its operations to include manufacturing and R&D, we report cost of goods sold, including estimates of labor, materials and overhead allocations to the production of specific products. 


Property, equipment and depreciation


Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.  Depreciation expense totaled $8,740 and $8,199 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


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


Patents, deferred costs and amortization


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


The Company amortizes its patents over a period of ten years.  Amortization expense totaled $1,569 and $1,567 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the next five years is as follows:

The Company has incurred costs totaling $5,490 relating to the filing of a new United States patent application entitled “POU5-F1 Expression in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells” and the development of new technology related to generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).  These costs are included as deferred patent costs in the accompanying balance sheet at April 30, 2011.


Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets


The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is determined as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.


The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of it long-lived assets for possible impairment.  The Company recorded no asset impairment charges during the six months ended April 30, 2011.  A contingency exists with respect to these matters, the ultimate resolution of which cannot presently be determined.




11





Income taxes


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


Revenue recognition


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


Advertising Costs


The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred.  Advertising costs were $2,461 and $12,540 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Fair value of financial instruments


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


Concentrations of credit risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable.  As of April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, the Company had no amounts of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.




12





Net loss per share


The Company reports net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents.  Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents.  For the three and six months ended April 30, 2011, common stock equivalents included in computing diluted net income per common share included in-the-money stock options.  For the three and six months ended April 30, 2010, no common stock equivalents were included in the diluted per share calculations as all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net losses in those periods.  Certain common stock options and warrants outstanding at April 30, 2011 and 2010, totaling 410,000 and 1,543,500 were not included in the diluted loss per share and generally represented out-of-the-money stock options and warrants, and were therefore anti-dilutive.


Stock-based compensation


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


Recent accounting standards

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2011 and 2010, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.


NOTE B: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Advances and accrued interest payable to officer


Through October 31, 2010, the Company’s chief executive officer had advanced the Company a total of $139,682 used for working capital, and during the six months ended April 30, 2011 an additional $137,000 of working capital advances were made by the officer.  The advances are uncollateralized, due on demand and accrue interest on the unpaid principal at a rate of 10% per annum.  Accrued interest payable on the advances totaled $25,635 and $16,050 at April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively.  The total advances plus accrued interest totaling $302,317 and $155,733 at April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively, are included as “Advances and accrued interest payable to officer” in the accompanying financial statements.




13





Employment agreements and accrued compensation


Effective May 1, 2008, the Company entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement with its CEO.  The Agreement established annual base salaries of $80,000, $85,000, and $90,000 over the three years of the Agreement, which was to expire on April 30, 2011.  On April 27, 2011 the Company’s board of directors ratified a modification to the original agreement establishing an annual base salary of $12,000 per year, effective February 1, 2011 and continuing for three years.  The Agreement also provides for incentive compensation based on the achievement of minimum annual product sales and an option to purchase one million shares of the Company’s common stock that includes contingent vesting requirements. The employment agreement includes changes in control given exercise of underlying stock options and also includes severance provisions.


As a result of the patent licenses agreement on March 29, 2011, a contingency was met and as a result, 100,000 common stock options became vested.  These options are exercisable at $.19 per share and expire in July 2018.  As a result, $18,900 of stock based compensation was recorded at March 29, 2011.  These options are further discussed in Note E under the “Stock options granted to officer” caption.


The Company accrued the salaries of its CEO through April 30, 2008 under an old agreement due to a lack of working capital.  Accrued salaries and payroll taxes totaled $1,171,368 and $1,350,053 at January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively.  His accrued salaries totaled $1,125,482 and $1,099,982 as of April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively.  His salary is allocated as follows: 70% to research and development and 30% to administration.


On March 30, 2011 the Company licensed two of its existing patents to a former executive officer.  The transaction included license fees totaling $10,000, and a forgiveness of previously accrued payroll amounts due the former officer of $190,000.  This transaction is further discussed in Note I.

His accrued salaries totaled $200,833 and $833 at October 31, 2010 and April 30, 2011, respectively.


Total accrued payroll taxes on the above salaries totaled $45,053 and $49,238 at April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively.


Office lease


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

Deferred tax asset (before valuation allowance)

 $

   2,023,190 

 

     1,911,591 



At October 31, 2010, deferred taxes consisted of a net tax asset of $2,023,190, due to operating loss carry forwards and other temporary differences of $8,203,608, which was fully allowed for in the valuation allowance of $2,023,190.  The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery.  The changes in the valuation allowance for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $111,599 and $58,623, respectively.  Net operating loss carry forwards will expire in various years through 2030.


The Company is delinquent on filing its federal and state tax returns and may be subject to penalties and interest.  A contingency exists with respect to this matter, the ultimate resolution of which may not be presently determined.


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


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



NOTE D: LINES OF CREDIT


The Company has a $12,500 line of credit of which $1,481 was unused at April 30, 2011.  The interest rate on the credit line was 18.00% at April 30, 2011.  The credit line is collateralized by the Company’s checking account.  Principal and interest payments are due monthly.




16





At April 30, 2011 the Company also had three credit cards with a combined credit limit of $27,700, of which $3,760 was unused.  The interest rates on the credit cards range from 10.24% to 29.4%.  All other credit cards previously used by the Company have been paid off and closed.


NOTE E: CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS


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


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


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

NOTE F: SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT


Preferred Stock


The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock, of which none were issued and outstanding at April 30, 2011.  These shares may be issued in series with such rights and preferences as may be determined by the Board of Directors.




17





Sales of common stock


In September 2010, the Company sold 300,000 shares of its common stock to two investors for $30,000, or $.10 per share.  The transaction was recorded at fair value, which was determined to be 83% of the quoted market price on the day prior to the negotiated sale of stock, due to the restricted nature of the shares.


Sale of Common Stock and Warrants


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


The Company applied the provisions of ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and related standards for the accounting of the valuation of the common stock warrants issued as part of the private placement of common stock completed on December 29, 2009. Accordingly, the Company recorded a warrant liability upon the issuance of its common stock, equal to the estimated fair market value of the various features of the warrants.  The initial warrant liability of $75,000 represented a non-cash adjustment to the carrying value of the related financial instruments.  The warrants were exercisable upon issuance, and expired unexercised on December 29, 2010.  The liability was adjusted quarterly to the estimated fair market value based upon then current market conditions, and any change in the estimated fair market value was charged to the Company’s operating results.

  

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


Expected volatility

 

142%

Contractual term

 

1 year

Risk free interest rate

 

0.47%

Common stock issued for services


On April 27, 2011, the Company issued 99,010 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Erik Van Horn, Director as compensation to be earned during his service in 2011.  The transaction was valued at $10,000, or $.101 per share, which approximated the market value of the stock on the date of the transaction.  As of April 30, 2011, $5,000 had been expensed, and is reflected in “Services paid with common stock” in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.


On September 8, 2010 the Company agreed to convert to common stock certain amounts due an attorney who provides various legal services to the Company.  As a result, $10,000 of amounts due the attorney was converted to 71,429 shares of common stock at a price of $0.14 per share, which approximated the market value of the stock on the date of the transaction.



18






Also on September 8, 2010 the Company agreed to convert to common stock certain amounts due a consultant who provides various professional accounting services to the Company.  As a result, $8,300 of amounts due the consultant was converted to 59,286 shares of common stock at a price of $0.14 per share, which approximated the market value of the stock on the date of the transaction.


In February 2010, the Company appointed Mr. Richard Huebner to its Board of Directors.  The Company issued to Mr. Huebner 106,383 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation for his commitment to serve on the Company’s board of directors.  The transaction was valued at $25,000, or $.235 per share based on the fair value of the stock on the transaction date.  Of the total transaction amount, $15,000 was considered as incentive to serve as a director, and as such the amount was charged to operations as stock compensation expense for the year ended October 31, 2010.  The remaining $10,000 was considered as compensation to be earned during his service in 2010.   As of January 31, 2011 the entire $10,000 had been expensed, and is reflected in “Services paid with common stock” in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.


Also in February 2010, the Company issued 42,553 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Erik Van Horn, Director as compensation to be earned during his service in 2010.  The transaction was valued at $10,000, or $.235 per share based on the fair value of the stock on the transaction date.  As of January 31, 2011 the entire $10,000 had been expensed, and is reflected in “Services paid with common stock” in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.


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


In February 2009, the Company appointed Dr. Pamela L. Rice to its Scientific Advisory Board.  The Company issued 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation for her commitment to serve on the SAB.  The transaction was valued at $1,800, or $.15 per share based on the fair value of the stock on the transaction date.  As of April 30, 2011 the entire $1,800 had been expensed, and is reflected in “Services paid with common stock” in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.





19





Stock options granted to officer


On May 1, 2008, the Company granted a stock option to its president to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.19 per share, and expire in 2018.  On the grant date, the traded market value of the stock was $0.19 per share.  The options vest upon the achievement of certain contingencies.  As a result of the patent license agreements of March 29, 2011 as discussed in Note _, a contingency was met resulting in the vesting of 100,000 of these options.  As such, the Company recorded $18,900 in stock based compensation on March 29, 2011.  None of the other contingencies have been met as of April 30, 2011. The weighted average exercise price and weighted average fair value of these options on the grant date were $0.19 and $0.189, respectively.  


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


Risk-free interest rate

3.68%

Dividend yield

0.00%

Volatility factor

Incentive plans


Effective December 2, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which replaced the Company’s 1992 Stock Option Plan.  The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain qualified personnel, to provide additional incentives to employees, officers, consultants and directors, and to promote the Company’s business.  The Plan authorizes total awards of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Awards may take the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock bonuses and other stock grants. If an award made under the Plan expires, terminates, is canceled or settled in cash without the issuance of all shares of common stock covered by the award, those shares will be available for future awards under the Plan.  Awards may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  No awards may be granted under the Plan after September 30, 2010.


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

22





Mokshagundam during fiscal year 2010.  The Agreement provided for a payment of $5,000 to the Company upon execution of the Agreement as an advance for the product development, and was received during the third quarter of fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.


On April 27, 2010 the Company executed an Agreement for Joint Product Development, Manufacture and Distribution (“Agreement”) with HemoGenix, Inc., a privately held biotechnology firm located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  The Agreement provides for the joint manufacture and distribution of stem cell analysis tools.  The agreement provides for the expansion of assay platforms from HemoGenix, in particular, LUMENESC for mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and LumiSTEM for induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).  Also, this original agreement between the Company and HemoGenix® was expanded during the latter portions of 2010 to include joint development of cell-specific toxicity assays including those targeting liver cells, heart, kidney and neuronal cells.  Furthermore, the strategic partners intend to jointly develop additional stem cell media products and align their respective quality programs to ensure consistency.



NOTE I: PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT


Effective March 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Technology License, License Option and Technical Assistance Agreement with a former officer of the Company, granting him an exclusive license covering two of the Company’s patents: United States Patent Number 5,990,288, Method for Purifying FSH and United States Patent Number 6,458,593 B1, Immortalized Cell Lines and Methods of Making The Same.  The patents are related to treatment of infertility and know-how relating to the commercial production and cellular generation of the hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and related gonadotropin hormones for use in the treatment of infertility in both humans and animals.  In addition, the License grants the exclusive option to license a pending patent application for the commercial production of clinical grade gonadotropin hormones and, in addition, the Company’s intellectual property related to generation of crude materials containing gonadotropin hormones from certain cellular sources. The License has an initial term of five years and shall be automatically renewed for additional two year periods until terminated by either party; however, the license can be terminated after two and one-half years if there have been no sales of licensed products.


The licensee was previously an executive officer of the Company, and the Company had carried a $200,833 liability for unpaid compensation.  The terms of the license agreement required payment of a non-refundable license fee of $10,000, which was paid by a reduction of the unpaid compensation liability.  In addition, the license agreement also required the licensee forgive an additional $190,000 of the unpaid compensation liability.  In addition to the license fee and the forgiveness of the unpaid compensation liability, there shall be royalty payments of 3% and 4% of the gross sales of all licensed products sold by or on behalf of Licensee during the first and second years, respectively.  Such royalty payment shall be 4.5 % of the gross sales of all licensed products during the third year of product sales and shall remain at that level throughout the remaining term of the agreement.

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

 


ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Introduction


This section discusses the financial condition of Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) at April 30, 2011 and compares it to the Company’s financial condition at October 31, 2010.  It also discusses the Company’s results of operations for the three and six-month period ending April 30, 2011 and 2010.  This information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, including the audited financial statements and notes contained therein.


Certain statements contained herein and subsequent oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s plan of business operations, potential contractual arrangements, and receipt of working capital, anticipated revenues and related expenditures.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, acceptability of the Company’s products in the market place, general economic conditions, receipt of additional working capital, the overall state of the biotechnology industry and other factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 under the caption, “Risk Factors.”  Most of these factors are outside the control of the Company.  Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  Except as otherwise required by applicable securities statutes or regulations, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


During its second fiscal quarter 2011, the Company gained working capital through elimination of debt and patent license fees derived through out-licensing of two  patents.  Debt financing was also used to refinance debt obligations that resulted in reduced interest expenses and debt service payments. Expenses were further reduced by reduction of deferred salary.  On March 30, 2011, the Company entered into Technology License, License Option and Technical Assistance Agreement with James T. Posillico, Ph.D. (“Licensee”) granting exclusive license covering two of the Company’s patents (US 5,990,288 & US 6,458,593 B1).  These patents provide proprietary technology and products with application to treatment of infertility through use of the hormone FSH. The License also grants the Licensee an option to use of another pending patent of the Company’s in the treatment of infertility.  In consideration of the rights and licenses granted, the Licensee paid the



24





Company a non-refundable payment of $10,000, as a reduction in a prior liability of the Company to the Licensee for deferred salary.  Also, the Licensee forgave prior deferred salary debts in the amount of $190,000.  In addition, there is a royalty payment of three percent (3%) of the gross sales of all licensed products made, used, sold, offered for sale, imported, leased, or otherwise transferred by or on behalf of the licensee during the first year following sales of licensed product.  The royalty payment is 4% of gross sales in the second and 4.5% in the third year following sales and remains at 4.5% throughout the remaining term of the agreement.  As a result of the license fee and debt forgiveness, the Company realized a $200,000 increase in working capital that was offset by increased operating expenses incurred during the quarter.  


At April 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,533,854, consisting of current assets of $36,989 and current liabilities of $1,570,843.  This represents an increase in working capital of $121,034 from fiscal year end October 31, 2010.  The increase in working capital was mainly due to decreased deferred salary expense.


Current assets decreased by $1,087 and current liabilities decreased by $122,121 during the quarter ended April 30, 2011.  The decrease in current assets was due to decreased cash, while liabilities decreased due to debt reduction arising from patent license fees.  The Company reported a $1,463,391 total shareholders’ deficit at April 30, 2011, which was $122,349 less than the deficit reported at October 31, 2010.  The majority of the working capital deficit is due to accrued salaries and notes due to the president and CEO.  


During the six months ended April 30, 2011, the Company’s financing activities provided $72,751 in cash to support our operating activities.  During that time, the Company’s operations used $70,372 in cash compared to $79,184 of cash used by operations during the six months ended April 30, 2010.  The decrease in cash used in operations during the first half of 2011 was primarily due to decreased salary expense. Cash raised from financing activities was derived through loans from the Company’s president and CEO.  Cash usage reflects a minimum cash requirement of about $12,000 per month for operations.  Cash requirements for operations have recently been reduced by debt refinancing and reduction in deferred salary to its President.   

 

The Company had lines of credit and credit cards facilities totaling $40,200 with $5,241 available in credit at April 30, 2011.  The Company must continue to service debt and the Chairman personally guarantees most of the Company debt.  Management is actively pursuing measures to reduce corporate debt while at the same time implementing various measures to increase revenues, as described elsewhere in this report.


The Company continues to pursue various activities to obtain additional capitalization, as described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2010.  A current focus is product sales derived from launch of its Tools of Stem Cell and Drug Development product line during 2009.   Management has continued its program to expand sales of its products and especially the MSC-Gro Media product line that was shown to exhibit performance advances over competing products.   Our MSC-Gro Media has also been successfully evaluated by key accounts that are perceived by Management to represent substantial sales opportunities for the Company. In addition, the Company is engaged in discussions and product evaluations with a life science manufacturer & distributor that is also believed by Management to represent a significant



25





distribution opportunity for the Company’s MSC-Gro Media product line.   We completed a license of the Companys patented and patent-pending technology related to treatment of infertility during this reporting period as described elsewhere in this report.  Management has conserved capital by reducing expenditures related to its operational activities and is implementing debt reduction activities to decrease interest expenses and debt service payments.  This enables the Company to gain profitability quickly and sustain earnings growth as product sales expand.   The Company is also pursing other approaches to increase its capital resources such as combination with revenue-generating private entities, out-licensing of its intellectual property, sale of assets or other transactions that may be appropriate.  

Results of Operations


During the three months ended April 30, 2011, the Company realized net income of $134,997 or $0.01 per share.  The net income was $214,901 more than the net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2010.  The increase in net income in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010 was primarily due to other income derived from the license fee and forgiveness of debt obtained in exchange for an exclusive license to two of the Company’s US patents related to treatment of infertility. Total operating expenses were $28,955 less in the second quarter 2011 than the comparable period in 2010.  Research and development expenses decreased by $21,428 and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $7,527.


During the six months ended April 30, 2011, the Company realized net income of $94,890 or $0.01 per share.  The net income in the first half of 2011 was $243,963 more than the loss reported during the six month period ended April 30, 2010.  The increased net income was due to primarily due to license fee income and the increase in the stock purchase warrant valuation due to expiration of warrants.


Current activities of the Company have shifted to manufacturing of its stem cell based product line and expansion of manufacturing capacity, while R&D efforts are directed towards development of new products to add to the commercial products presently available. During the quarter ended April 30, 2011, the Company expanded its product line to include MSC-Gro Media suitable for use in clinical studies.  Numerous investigations have shown the clinical value of mesenchymal stem cells in treatment of a variety of medical conditions, for example, diseases or injuries of the joints, cerebral palsy, autoimmune disorders, and enlarged heart resulting from prior heart attack, etc.  Thus, the Companys availability of clinical grade media opens opportunities for use of our MSC-Gro Media in clinical applications.  Management views this component of its target market to be significant and plans to further expand its product line and regulatory approvals of its clinical grade MSC-Gro Media.  The Company intends on pursuing FDA regulatory filings seeking appropriate approvals for clinical use of its media in the United States. These products are classified as medical devices and the regulatory requirements are less rigorous than those required for approvals of drugs or biologics but could present obstacles for clinical use of our products in the United States. There are also substantial markets that the Company is pursuing in other countries besides the US.  These efforts have also been stimulated by recent advances in formulations of the Company’s MSC-Gro stem cell media whereby the Company can provide its customers dry powder which is then reconstituted in high purity water by the customer.  Management views this development together



26





with the strong competitive performance advantages of our media as key components in growth of its offshore business.  To complement these advances, during its second fiscal quarter 2011, the Company established an ongoing dialogue and related activities with several additional prospective partners who are interested in using or distributing the Company’s products.  Management intends to pursue development of the sales of stem cell products to the full extent possible given its resources.


Research and development expenses (R&D) were $69,745 during the first half of 2011, which was a decrease of $24,653 over the comparable period in 2010.  Most of this decrease in R&D expense is due to salary reduction. While the R& D necessary for launch of its initial products was completed in 2009, the Company continued development of its technology related to expansion of its product line during the second fiscal quarter of 2011. In addition to line extensions described previously, the Company is also developing in-house manufacturing of some of its critical raw materials as a means of improving its profit margins.  The Company’s management team has considerable current and prior experience in such operations.



ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


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



ITEM  4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


a.  Disclosure Controls and Procedures


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


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



27





forms and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.     


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


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


b.  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


c. Limitations of any Internal Control Design


Our principal executive and financial officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive and financial officer has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
