Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Statement Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of  OCTuS, Inc. (“OCTuS”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with  Management's Discussion and Analysis and the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our 2009 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for 2009 as reported on Form 10-K have been omitted.

The company received an SEC Comment letter dated November 5, 2010, where the SEC questioned the Company as to the treatment of Quantum Energy Solutions, Inc., as its predecessor entity as Quantum’s historical operations were significantly larger than the historical operations of OCTuS.  For purposes of financial statements, designation of an acquired business as a predecessor is required if a registrant succeeds to the business of another entity and the registrant’s own operations prior to the succession appear insignificant relative to the operations assumed or acquired.  As such, OCTuS has included the historical financial statements of Quantum as its predecessor entity.

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the business combination of Quantum Energy Solutions, Inc. as of June 30, 2010 and thereafter.   All significant intercompany transactions and balances, if any, have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 amount 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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived primarily from providing services under short-term negotiated fixed and variable fee arrangements. Revenue is recognized when it is earned, typically when our services have been rendered.  Upon execution of an agreement, if services have not been provided then the amount to be paid as a deposit under such agreement is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet and is reclassified as revenue on the statement of operations after services have been provided and such revenue earned.  Any amount that has been earned, but not yet billed, is recorded as work in process or unbilled at the balance sheet date.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share (“EPS”) calculations were determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the years.  Diluted loss per common share calculations were determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2010 and 2009 common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Share-Based Compensation

OCTuS provides compensation costs for our stock option plans based on estimated fair values. OCTuS estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provides for expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option.

Subsequent Events

OCTuS has evaluated all transactions through the original financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

Note 2 – Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of OCTuS as a going concern.  OCTuS has a working capital deficit of $1,294,005, a stockholders’ deficit of $1,674,740 and an accumulated deficit of $25,493,583 as of September 30, 2010.  In addition, OCTuS has generated net losses of $1,169,948 and $751,513 during the nine months ending September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and currently has minimal revenue generated from operations.

We have licensed technologies and initiated energy savings projects and are actively seeking to continue development of technologies and business opportunities in the smart energy sector, which may include the additional licensing, acquisition or development of smart energy and energy efficiency products or technologies as part of the OCTuSSEP (Smart Energy Platform). We anticipate the need for additional debt or equity financing, and if OCTuS raises additional funds through equity financing transactions, the issuance of additional shares would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders.  However, OCTuS has no commitment from any party to provide additional capital, and there is no assurance that such funding will be available when needed, or if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to OCTuS. 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of OCTuS to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Business Combination

Purchase of Quantum Energy Solutions, Inc.

On June 10, 2010, OCTuS entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and related agreements with Quantum Energy Solutions, Inc., a California corporation (“Quantum”).  Effective June 30, 2010, the acquisition of Quantum has been accounted for using purchase accounting since OCTuS acquired substantially all of the assets, debts, employees, intangible contracts and business of Quantum.

The purchase price included 150,000 shares of OCTuS common stock, valued at $7,500 on the date of the transaction closing which was June 10, 2010, at $0.05 per share, plus assumption of approximately $62,891 in accounts payable and accrued expenses; assumption of a line of credit facility with a balance of $45,253 and assumption of a 3-year promissory note to the seller for $130,000.

OCTuS entered into various employment and consulting arrangements with Quantum employees and a former owner where OCTuS issued 700,000 stock options to purchase common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.06 to $0.11 per share.  OCTuS estimated the fair market value of these stock options to be $38,513 using a Black Scholes pricing model and will be amortized over the future requisite service period.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $7,078 of share based compensation relating to these options was recognized.   The two year consulting arrangement with a former owner of Quantum included additional compensation of (i) a monthly cash payment of $5,000 and (ii) commissions on contracts originated by the consultant on Quantum projects of 10% of the gross margin payable in common stock; 30% of the gross margin payable in cash on projects invoiced in the first 90 days after consummation of the purchase; 20% of the gross margin payable in cash on projects invoiced in the second 90 days after purchase; and 10% of the gross margin payable in cash for projects invoiced thereafter through the end of the two year term.  All additional compensation described above occurs after the purchased accounts payable have been paid for.

On June 10, 2010, OCTuS assumed a three-year promissory note with the former principal owner of Quantum in the amount of $130,000.  The note has a simple interest rate of 6% per year.  No later than the 10th day of each month, OCTuS shall pay 36 equal monthly payments of $3,955 for principal and interest (assuming no further principal payments are made as further described) and make principal reduction payments as may occur of 10% of the gross margin of revenue received over the prior 30 days from projects initiated by former Quantum employees or principals.  OCTuS may prepay any or this entire note and accrued interest with no penalty any time before the maturity of the note.  In June 2010, the former principal of Quantum and OCTuS agreed to assign this note to a trust administered by the former principal owner of Quantum.   As of September 30, 2010, OCTuS has made principal and interest payments of $13,319 under the terms of this note.  In addition, OCTuS assumed the outstanding balance of $45,253 owed under a Line of Credit Facility with a variable interest rate currently at 7.25%.  The total line of credit capacity is $50,000, but OCTuS cannot borrow under the line of credit.  As of September 30, 2010, OCTuS has made principal and interest payments of $3,369 under the terms of this line of credit.

Both employment agreements have a term of three years, through February 23, 2012, with the term extended automatically for successive one-year terms unless either party notifies the other in writing at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-effective term of such party’s intention not to renew the agreement.  Pursuant to the employment agreement, OCTuS will pay Mr. Soderquist and Mr. Ecker a base annual salary of $180,000 each, which will increase annually by the increase in the consumer price index from the prior year (the “Base Salary”).  The officers have agreed to waive all accrued salaries during 2009 in the amount of $181,538 and have accepted annual base salaries of $120,000 each from January through June 2010 initiating the agreed salaries of $180,000 beginning July 1, 2010.  Each officer will be eligible for an annual bonus of up to 50% of his base annual salary as then in effect, as determined by OCTuS’ Compensation Committee or Board of Directors.  OCTuS issued to each person 15,000,000 shares of common stock.  These shares were valued at $270,000 and recorded as share-based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Under the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreements, a portion of the shares were subject to repurchase by OCTuS if four business milestones were not achieved before the first anniversary of the date of the purchase agreements.  For each of the business milestones that were not achieved before the first anniversary of the date of the purchase agreements, 25% of the shares were subject to repurchase by OCTuS at the original purchase price per share.  As determined by the Board of Directors on May 1, 2010 all four milestones have been achieved, and the repurchase rights of OCTuS lapsed.  
 
There were 43,437,072 shares of common stock outstanding after the issuance of the shares in accordance with the purchase agreements.
 
Effective March 31, 2009, a convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $328,106 and accrued interest of $38,686 held by Grupo Dynastia SA was sold to another party who already held a promissory note in the amount of $113,747.  The terms of the new combined $480,539 note were modified such that the principal and interest will be paid over 60 months. The convertible promissory note can be converted into common stock at a rate of $0.10 per share and bears interest at an annual rate of 8% until converted or paid.  Total interest expense under borrowings from this party during the nine months ending September 30, 2010 was $9,612.  OCTuS paid $5,000 toward accrued interest on this note.  The current portion of this note is $125,000 at September 30, 2010.
 
Note 5 – Notes Payable

During April 2009, a third party loaned OCTuS $5,000 to provide short-term working capital.  This loan bears interest at 10% and is due upon demand.  In February 2010, the loan balance of $5,000 and related accrued interest of $455 was converted into a convertible note payable bearing interest at 10% and further described in Note 7.

On June 10, 2010, OCTuS assumed a three-year promissory note with the former principal owner of Quantum in the amount of $130,000.  The note has a simple interest rate of 6% per year.  No later than the 10th day of each month, OCTuS shall pay 36 equal monthly payments of $3,955 for principal and interest (assuming no further principal payments are made as further described) and make principal reduction payments as may occur of 10% of the gross margin of revenue received over the prior 30 days from projects initiated by former Quantum employees or principals.  OCTuS may prepay any or this entire note and accrued interest with no penalty any time before the maturity of the note.  In June 2010, the former principal of Quantum and OCTuS agreed to assign this note to a trust administered by the former principal owner of Quantum.   As of September 30, 2010, OCTuS has made principal and interest payments of $13,319 under the terms of this note.

Note 6 – Notes Payable - Related Parties

During April 2009, two of our officers and directors, Christian J. Soderquist and George M. Ecker, each loaned OCTuS $5,000 to provide short-term working capital.  These loans bear interest at 10% and are due upon demand.

During the year ended December 31, 2009 and in February 2010, Mr. Soderquist loaned OCTuS $27,750 and $500, respectively, for total proceeds of $28,250 to the Company.  These loans bear interest at 10% and are due upon demand.

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2010, payments of $5,782 have been paid by the company on these related party notes payable.

Note 7 – Convertible Notes Payable
 
For the year ended December 31, 2009 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, OCTuS issued convertible secured promissory notes with a principal amount of $135,000 and $30,000, respectively, to investors.  The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and are due one year from the date of issuance.  Accrued interest is paid semi-annually, with the first payment due six months after the date the notes are issued.  At OCTuS’ option, OCTuS may make any interest payment either in cash or by delivery of a number of shares of common stock with a value equal to the amount of interest due and payable, calculated based on the average closing price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or whatever exchange, market or quotation system the common stock is then traded), for the ten trading days ending three days before the date that such payment is due.  OCTuS granted to the holder of the notes a security interest of all assets of OCTuS, ranking before all preferred and common shareholders and subordinated to the existing senior convertible debt.  The notes may be converted to common stock at 70% of the price per share paid for securities in a financing of at least $1,000,000 or at any time after 90 days after issuance at the greater of $0.30 per share or 70% of the average closing price of the common stock for the ten trading days ending five days before the conversion date.  In conjunction with the issuance of the notes, OCTuS issued warrants to the note holders to purchase 540,000 and 120,000, respectively, shares of OCTuS common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The term of the warrants is 18 months. The relative fair value of the warrants was $59,000 and $32,954, respectively.  The intrinsic value of the conversion feature totaled $63,817 and $13,112, respectively, resulting in a discount of $122,817 and $32,210, respectively, to the notes payable.

In May 2010, OCTuS issued a convertible secured promissory note with a principal value of $100,000 to an investor.  The note had a stated interest rate of 10% and is due May 2013.  Accrued interest was to be paid semi-annually with the first payment due six months after the date the note was issued.  The note contained a conversion option where the unpaid principal and interest due could be converted to common stock at 70% of the price per share paid for securities in a financing of at least $1,000,000 or at any time after 90 days after issuance at the greater of $0.30 per share or 70% of the average closing price of the common stock for the ten trading days ending five days before the conversion date.  In conjunction with the issuance of the note, OCTuS issued warrants to the same investor to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The term of the warrants was eighteen months.  The relative fair value of the warrants was $38,544 resulting in an initial discount.  The conversion feature had no intrinsic value at the date of inception.  In June, OCTuS repaid the $100,000 note and cancelled the outstanding warrants resulting in the accelerated amortization of the discount of $38,544 into interest expense.

In June 2010, OCTuS issued a convertible secured promissory note with a principal value of $500,000 to an investor.  The note has a stated interest rate of 12% and is due in June, 2011.  No payments of principal or interest are due to be paid until the date of maturity.  At any time commencing ninety (90) days after the date of issuance of this note and before the maturity date or earlier conversion of this note, the holder, at holder’s option and upon five (5) days prior written notice to the Company, may convert in whole or in part the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of this note into a number of shares of common stock determined by the greater of $0.30 per share or at 70% of the average closing price of the common stock on, for the ten trading days ending five days before the conversion date.  OCTuS issued warrants in conjunction with this note to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The term of the warrants is eighteen months.  The relative fair vale of the warrants was $98,201 resulting in an initial discount.  The conversion feature had no intrinsic value at the date of inception.  OCTuS recorded a deferred financing cost associated with a payment of $30,000 to an unrelated third party as a finder’s fee for this note.  The deferred financing cost is being amortized over the one-year maturity period of the convertible note resulting in $8,750 in interest expense for the nine-months ended September 30, 2010.

The respective discounts have been amortized over the period from the commitment date until the notes become convertible by the holder.  The details are as follows:

OCTuS, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 9 – License Agreements
 
On August 28, 2009, OCTuS entered into an exclusive license agreement with The Regents of the University of California (the “University”) pursuant to which OCTuS acquired exclusive rights under a provisional U.S. patent application and related intellectual property relating to an evaporative cooling technology known as “Wickool.”  The application relates to the passive evaporative cooling of rooftop HVAC units, whereby Wickool repurposes the condensate generated by HVAC equipment to cool incoming air and thereby increase energy efficiency and reduce peak-demand electricity use.  The Wickool system can be used to retrofit presently installed HVAC units in addition to integration in new building construction design and is best suited for large scale, commercial installations. Wickool was developed by the University of California, Davis Western Cooling Efficiency Center, and is being commercially tested by major retailers. The license covers the United States and, to the extent available, foreign rights, exclusively covers all fields of use and includes the right to sublicense, subject to standard University terms applying to sublicenses.
 
Under the agreement, OCTuS will pay the University a nominal annual minimum cash payment each year until the year following the year of the first sale of a licensed product.  Upon commencement of commercial sales, OCTuS will pay the University the greater of a minimal annual fee or royalties based on net sales of licensed products, licensed services, and other revenue resulting directly from use of the licensed products.  The agreement also provides that OCTuS will pay the University a percentage of any consideration received by OCTuS for the grant of rights under a sublicense from OCTuS.  OCTuS is responsible for reimbursing the University for prior patent costs incurred, which are not material, and subsequent legal fees and patent costs incurred in connection with prosecuting the application and maintaining any patents that may issue from the application.  The agreement includes a number of customary milestone conditions related to OCTuS’ progress in funding support of the product, commencement of manufacturing, and commencement and progress of commercial sales.  In the agreement, OCTuS agreed to diligently proceed with the development, manufacture and sale of licensed products, licensed services and licensed methods and to diligently market them in quantities sufficient to meet the market demand.
 
Pursuant to these milestone conditions, OCTuS committed to achieve the following objectives and milestones in its activities under the agreement:
 
 
(a)
Funding of OCTuS:  $250,000 by December 31, 2010 (accomplished in June 2010);
 
 
(b)
Manufacturing of a licensed product begins (including by a third-party on behalf of OCTuS) by May 31, 2010 (accomplished in February 2010);
 
 
(c)
First sales of a licensed product or licensed services by August 31, 2010 (accomplished in February 2010); and
 
 
(d)
1,000 units of licensed products sold by August 31, 2011 (not accomplished).
 
If OCTuS is unable to meet any of these diligence obligations, then the University will notify OCTuS of failure to perform, and OCTuS will have the right to extend the target date of any such diligence obligation for a period of six months upon the payment of $5,000 within 30 days of the date to be extended for each such extension option exercised by OCTuS.  OCTuS may further extend the target date of any diligence obligation for an additional six months upon payment of an additional $5,000.  Additional extensions may be granted only by mutual written consent of OCTuS and the University.  Should OCTuS elect not to extend the dates or fail to meet a milestone by the extended target date, then the University will have the right either to terminate the agreement or to reduce OCTuS’ exclusive license to a non-exclusive license, by means of a notice delivered to OCTuS, with OCTuS having 60 days to cure the deficiency or to request arbitration. The agreement also includes several other customary provisions, including representations and warranties of the parties, provisions addressing indemnification of the University by OCTuS, use of names and other intellectual property, litigation and disputes, and insurance requirements, and other customary provisions.  To date, the University has not provided a failure to perform notification to OCTuS.
 
Though laboratory and in-field testing continues for the licensed technology, funded through University and other public sector grants, the Company does not anticipate generating significant, if any, revenue through the sale of the licensed technology, in light of its unproven state and the uncertainty of commercial viability.   Given that OCTuS has not accomplished the milestone requiring the sale of 1,000 units by August 31, 2011, and further given the nascent state of the licensed technology, it is not likely Octus will maintain its license with the
 
In February, 2010, we entered into a seven-year, non-exclusive license agreement with EcoNexus, LLC, whereby we were granted certain rights to EcoNexus’s Environmental Impact Manager technology. If and when OCTuS develops a commercial product based on the EcoNexus technology, OCTuS will grant 100,000 shares of common stock to EcoNexus. In addition, OCTuS will pay EcoNexus a royalty of 1.75% of net sales of the licensed and develop product over the term of the agreement. As of September 30, 2010, OCTuS has not completed development of the commercial product based on the EcoNexus technology, and thus no consideration has been granted, to date, to EcoNexus.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact.  Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms.  The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guarantee that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and except as required by law we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
The company received an SEC Comment letter dated November 5, 2010, where the SEC questioned the Company as to the treatment of Quantum Energy Solutions, Inc., as its predecessor entity as Quantum’s historical operations were significantly larger than the historical operations of OCTuS.  For purposes of financial statements, designation of an acquired business as a predecessor is required if a registrant succeeds to the business of another entity and the registrant’s own operations prior to the succession appear insignificant relative to the operations assumed or acquired.  As such, OCTuS has included the historical financial statements of Quantum as its predecessor entity and included any material discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the predecessor entity herein.
 
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors 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 may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived primarily from providing services under short-term negotiated fixed and variable fee arrangements. Revenue is recognized when it is earned, typically when our services have been rendered.  Upon execution of an agreement, if services have not been provided then the amount to be paid as a deposit under such agreement is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet and is reclassified as revenue on the statement of operations after services have been provided and such revenue earned.  Any amount that has been earned, but not yet billed, is recorded as Work in process or unbilled at the balance sheet date.

Overview
 
OCTuS is a smart energy management company developing, marketing and selling energy-efficient lighting, cooling and energy management solutions that enable public sector and private organizations to reduce their energy expenses. OCTuS has developed OctusSEP (Smart Energy Platform), a turnkey energy savings platform for the energy management of commercial, industrial and institutional buildings.
 
On August 28, 2009, OCTuS entered into an exclusive license agreement with The Regents of the University of California (the “University”) pursuant to which OCTuS acquired exclusive rights under a provisional U.S. patent application and related intellectual property relating to an evaporative cooling technology known as “Wickool.”  The application relates to the passive evaporative cooling of rooftop HVAC units, whereby Wickool repurposes the condensate generated by HVAC equipment to cool incoming air and thereby increase energy efficiency and reduce peak-demand electricity use.  The Wickool system can be used to retrofit presently installed HVAC units in addition to integration in new building construction design and is best suited for large scale, commercial installations. Wickool was developed by the University of California, Davis Western Cooling Efficiency Center, and is being commercially tested by major retailers. The license covers the United States and, to the extent available, foreign rights, exclusively covers all fields of use and includes the right to sublicense, subject to standard University terms applying to sublicenses.
 
Under the agreement, OCTuS will pay the University a nominal annual minimum cash payment each year until the year following the year of the first sale of a licensed product.  Upon commencement of commercial sales, OCTuS will pay the University the greater of a minimal annual fee or royalties based on net sales of licensed products, licensed services, and other revenue resulting directly from use of the licensed products.  The agreement also provides that OCTuS will pay the University a percentage of any consideration received by OCTuS for the grant of rights under a sublicense from OCTuS.  OCTuS is responsible for reimbursing the University for prior patent costs incurred, which are not material, and subsequent legal fees and patent costs incurred in connection with prosecuting the application and maintaining any patents that may issue from the application.  The agreement includes a number of customary milestone conditions related to OCTuS’ progress in funding support of the product, commencement of manufacturing, and commencement and progress of commercial sales.  In the agreement, OCTuS agreed to diligently proceed with the development, manufacture and sale of licensed products, licensed services and licensed methods and to diligently market them in quantities sufficient to meet the market demand.
 
Pursuant to these milestone conditions, OCTuS committed to achieve the following objectives and milestones in its activities under the agreement:
 
 
(a)
Funding of OCTuS:  $250,000 by December 31, 2010 (accomplished in June 2010);
 
 
(b)
Manufacturing of a licensed product begins (including by a third-party on behalf of OCTuS) by May 31, 2010 (accomplished in February 2010);
 
 
(c)
First sales of a licensed product or licensed services by August 31, 2010 (accomplished in February 2010); and
 
 
(d)
1,000 units of licensed products sold by August 31, 2011 (not accomplished).
 
If OCTuS is unable to meet any of these diligence obligations, then the University will notify OCTuS of failure to perform, and OCTuS will have the right to extend the target date of any such diligence obligation for a period of six months upon the payment of $5,000 within 30 days of the date to be extended for each such extension option exercised by OCTuS.  OCTuS may further extend the target date of any diligence obligation for an additional six months upon payment of an additional $5,000.  Additional extensions may be granted only by mutual written consent of OCTuS and the University.  Should OCTuS elect not to extend the dates or fail to meet a milestone by the extended target date, then the University will have the right either to terminate the agreement or to reduce OCTuS’ exclusive license to a non-exclusive license, by means of a notice delivered to OCTuS, with OCTuS having 60 days to cure the deficiency or to request arbitration. The agreement also includes several other customary provisions, including representations and warranties of the parties, provisions addressing indemnification of the University by OCTuS, use of names and other intellectual property, litigation and disputes, and insurance requirements, and other customary provisions.  To date, the University has not provided a failure to perform notification to OCTuS.
 
Though laboratory and in-field testing continues for the licensed technology, funded through University and other public sector grants, the Company does not anticipate generating significant, if any, revenue through the sale of the licensed technology, in light of its unproven state and the uncertainty of commercial viability.   Given that OCTuS has not accomplished the milestone requiring the sale of 1,000 units by August 31, 2011, and further given the nascent state of the licensed technology, it is not likely Octus will maintain its license with the University.
 
On September 1, 2009, we announced an exclusive worldwide license with the University of California for Wickool, a passive evaporative cooling technology for commercial rooftop HVAC units. Wickool has been commercially tested by the WCEC at Target Corp. and Wal-Mart stores as a retrofit to rooftop HVAC units.
 
On October 27, 2009, we announced the addition to two energy industry executives to our Advisory Group: Mark Henwood, CEO of Henwood Associates, and Dr. Mark Modera, director of the UC Davis Western Cooling Efficiency Center.

On January 29, 2010, we entered into consulting agreements with Dave Glende and John to provide services in the fields of smart energy services and smart energy products.
 
On April 21, 2010, we entered into an agreement to test and demonstrate energy-efficient LED parking garage fixtures for one of the largest hotel-casinos in Northern California. 

On June 16, 2010, we announced a consummation of an asset purchase agreement and related agreements with Quantum Energy Solutions, Inc., a California corporation (“Quantum”).  Effective June 30, 2010, the acquisition of Quantum has been accounted for using purchase accounting since OCTuS acquired substantially all of the assets, debts, employees, intangible contracts and business of Quantum.

The purchase price included 150,000 shares of OCTuS common stock, valued at $7,500 on the date of the transaction closing which was June 10, 2010, at $0.05, plus assumption of approximately $62,891 in accounts payable and accrued expenses; assumption of a line of credit facility with a balance of $45,253 and assumption of a 3-year promissory note to the seller for $130,000.
 
On June 29, 2010, OCTuS announced one of the world’s leading retailers has purchased nine Wickool® units for installation atop one of its Northern California retail stores.
 
On July 14, 2010, OCTuS announced it completed an energy-efficient lighting project for the Contra Costa Community College District, one of the largest multi-college community college districts in California. OCTuS secured the project through a competitive bid process. The retrofit is projected to generate a simple payback of 1.94 years with a 51% return on investment, which is the product of an estimated 70% reduction in electricity use of the District's exterior lighting system.
 
On July 15, 2010, OCTuS announced it was selected, throughout a competitive bid process, as an approved energy efficiency contractor for Roseville Electric’s Small Business Lighting Program. OCTuS’ selection is part of Roseville Electric’s $1,073,700 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds for energy efficiency programs granted to the City of Roseville.
 
On July 22, 2010, OCTuS announced it was awarded a contract to develop an energy-efficient lighting retrofit project for the City of Davis, California, focused on the City’s downtown parking facilities and its Central Park Pavilion. OCTuS will manage the project development process, including energy and technology analysis, contractor selection, and project management.
 
On July 27, 2010, OCTuS announced Quantum Energy Solutions has been awarded a contract for an energy-efficient lighting retrofit project for the Hampton Inn & Suites property in Lodi, California.
 
On August 12, 2010, OCTuS announced it has partnered with Five Star Bank to provide energy efficiency project financing for commercial and industrial building owners. The OCTuS/Five Star Bank Smart Energy Financing Program (“Building Energy Savings”) enables property owners to significantly reduce their energy expenses with little to no upfront costs.
 
On October 5, 2010, Octus announced it has won and is implementing multiple energy-efficient lighting retrofit projects leveraging Roseville Electric's Small Business Lighting Program.
 
We anticipate the need for additional debt or equity financing, and if the Company raises additional funds through equity financing transactions, the issuance of additional shares would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 (Successor)  Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 (Predecessor)

We realized service revenue of $38,258 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from execution of energy projects as compared to $62,849 of service revenue recognized by our predecessor for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease of $24,591 is primarily a result of ramping up our operations after the acquisition of our predecessor in June 2010.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, our operating expenses were $376,843, as compared to $116,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 for our predecessor. The increase of $259,969 was primarily due to an increase in stock based compensation, professional, consulting and payroll related expenses  related to the successor company’s existing requirements as a public companyand an increase in cost of goods sold of $14,841 during the three months ended September 30, 2010.    

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $111,386 compared to $1,033 incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2009 for our predecessor. The increase of $110,353 was due to a higher debt balance of our successor during the 2010 period which created discounts which were amortized into interest expense as compared to the minimal debt balance of our predecessor.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we reported a net loss of $449,950, or loss per share of $0.01, compared to a net loss of $55,058, or loss per share of $0.01, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of our predecessor. We expect to incur losses at least until such time as we begin generating significant revenue from operations.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 (Successor) Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 (Predecessor)

In order to discuss the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, it is necessary to present pro-forma results of operations combining our successor data and our predecessor data prior to the acquisition on June 30, 2010 as presented for the 180 day period from January 1, through June 29, 2010 not presented in our successor information for the year ended September 30, 2010.  These pro-forma results are for discussion purposes only and may or may not indicate what would have occurred had the acquisition took place on January 1, 2010.

Our pro-forma combined results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 would have included $142,394 of revenue had we acquired our predecessor at January 1, 2010 compared to the revenue recognized by our predecessor for the nine months ended September 2009, of $71,205, an increase of $71,189.  This increase is primarily due to a focused sales effort by the successor.   
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our pro-forma combined expenses would have been  $1,113,091, as compared to $387,784 for our predecessor for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase of $725,307 was primarily due to an increase in direct project expenses classified as cost of sales of during 2010 as compared to 2009; an increase in salary, consulting expense and professional costs ; an increase in other general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of rent and office supplies and an increase in travel related expense.  Share-based compensation increased to $273,689 during 2010 proforma results as compared to $0 for the privately held predecessor.

The pro-forma combined interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 would have been  $250,143 compared to $2,336 incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 for our predecessor. The increase of $247,807 was due primarily to $196,414 of debt discount and deferred financing cost amortization related to the higher debt outstanding with our successor. .

The pro-forma combined net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, would have been  $1,220,840, or loss per share of $0.03, compared to a net loss of $318,915 for our predecessor during the nine-months ended September 30, 2009, a variance of $901,925 primarily due to the increased operating expense burn rate of our successor.    We expect to incur losses at least until such time as we begin generating significant revenue from operations.
 
Results of Operations for the 180-Day Period from January 1, 2010 through June 29, 2010 and Three months ended September 30, 2009 and Nine months ended September 30, 2009 (Predecessor)

Our predecessor realized revenue of $95,300 during the 180-day period prior to the purchase by Octus on June 30, 2010 from the execution of energy projects.  Our predecessor realized revenue of $62,849 and $71,205 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, also from the execution of energy related products.

Our predecessor had expenses totaling $144,656 during the 180-day period prior to the purchase by Octus on June 30, 2010 primarily related to cost of sales of $46,542 and payroll, meals and entertainment and other administrative related expenses of $98,114.

During the 180-day period prior to the purchase by Octus on June 30, 2010, our predecessor had a net loss of $50,887.

Our predecessor had expenses totaling $116,874 and $374,815 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, due to the primarily to $34,361 and $149,849 in cost of sales, respectively for the periods.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our predecessor incurred approximately $182,000 in general and administrative payroll related expenses and other miscellaneous administrative costs.

Our predecessor had a net loss of $55,058 and $318,915 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Successor)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss of $1,169,948 that included $273,689 of noncash share-based compensation expense as well as $196,414 of amortization of noncash debt discount and deferred financing cost. At September 30, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $1 294,005.   At September 30, 2010, our total assets were $317,121 including goodwill of $212,782 related to the acquisition of Quantum Energy Solutions, Inc.  Our current liabilities at September 30, 2010, included $412,967 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $83,567 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to related parties; $625,000 in current portion of convertible notes, $84,313 of short term debt, and $27,468 of short-term debt to related parties and $158,300 of common stock payable. We also had $600,246 in the long-term portion of convertible debt and notes payable.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we used $448,236 in operating activities.  At September 30, 2010, we had $48,482 cash on hand.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we issued in aggregate convertible secured promissory notes with a principal amount of $630,000 and paid back $100,000 and paid $30,000 for financing costs to a third party.  Other cash flow provided from financing activities were $5,620 from exercises of warrants.
 
In addition to revenues that we may receive from customers and sales of products and services, we will need to raise additional funds through debt or equity financing to achieve our current business strategy.  The financing we need may not be available when needed.  Even if this financing is available, it may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or are materially adverse to the interests of existing investors with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms.  Our inability to obtain financing will inhibit our ability to implement our development strategy, and as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend our development strategy and possibly cease our operations.  If we are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate certain product and service development programs.  In addition, such inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms could have a negative effect on our business, operating results or financial condition to such an extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sale assets or cease operations.  We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to enter into any new investment, or that the terms of any agreements relating to any new investment will be on terms favorable to the Company.
 
We cannot give assurance that we will enter into any new investment, or that the terms of any such agreements will be on terms favorable to us. There is no assurance that our officers and directors or others will continue to fund us. Should we be unable to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital, we could be forced to cease business activities altogether, and the holders of security interests would likely be entitled to receive all or substantially all of our assets.  As such, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of OCTuS as a going concern.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Predecessor)

For the 180-day period from January1, 2010 through June 29, 2010 prior to purchase by Octus on June 30, 2010, our predecessor incurred a net loss of $50,887 and used $117,149 in cash flow from operations primarily from an increase in receivables and decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. Cash flow used in financing activities was $6,521 comprised mainly of borrowings on a line of credit of $14,000 and borrowings from related parties of $20,049.  This was offset by payments made on the line of credit of $4,217 and distributions to owners of $36,353.

For the nine months ended September 20, 2009, our predecessor had a net loss of $318,915 and used $117,514 cash in operations, while providing cash from financing activities in the amount of $84,484 consisting primarily of proceeds from advances made from a related party of $86,000 and proceeds from borrowings on a line of credit of $20,800 offset by net distributions to owners of $15,119.
 
Our Plan of Operations for the Next Twelve Months

Over the past year, we have actively pursued technologies and business opportunities in the smart energy sector, and we continue to pursue such technologies and opportunities. We have recruited management, advisors and affiliates who we believe have sufficient experience to review and qualify such technologies and business opportunities. Although we continue to seek such opportunities, we may not consummate any such transactions beyond what have been consummated to date, and it is possible such transactions would not generate sufficient revenue to sustain our operations.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, OCTuS raised net proceeds of $600,000 in new capital.  Although we have actively been pursuing new investment, we cannot give assurance that we will enter into any new investment, or that the terms of any such agreements will be on terms favorable to us. There is no assurance that anyone will continue to fund us. Should we be unable to obtain additional funds or finance growth through ongoing operations, we could be forced to cease business activities altogether, and the holders of security interests would likely be entitled to receive all or substantially all of our assets.

We are implementing a business plan focused to provide innovative solutions that significantly improve energy management and reduce energy costs. Our purpose is to enable building owners and managers to reduce energy consumption by 30% or more. We seek to accomplish this through the development of turnkey energy-efficiency and water-efficiency projects including equipment upgrades, energy auditing and consulting, building automation, and lighting HVAC and water system retrofits.

Our corporate strategy is to:
 
(1)  
Develop energy-saving projects and deliver energy-efficiency services, including the retrofit of municipal and commercial buildings with energy-efficient lighting, HVAC and energy management systems;
 
(2)   Develop water-saving projects and deliver water-efficiency services, including the retrofit of municipal, commercial and multi-tenant buildings with water-saving products and systems;
 
(3)  
Develop , administer, market and implement turnkey energy-efficiency and water-efficiency programs for energy utilities, water agencies, and commercial real estate managers, developers and investors; and,

(4)  
Market, sell and implement proprietary and non-proprietary energy-efficiency and water-efficiency products, including Wickool™ and Dualcool evaporative cooling systems; and

(5)  
Facilitate the financing and implementation of energy-saving and water-saving projects through financial partners including the Octus/Five Star Bank Building Energy Savings program.

We focus on two specific markets: the commercial and industrial market, including utilities, and the M.U.S.H. (municipality, university, school and hospital) market.

We believe the following factors drive demand for smart energy efficiency services by facility owners in the U.S. commercial, industrial and M.U.S.H. markets:

·   
The potential for immediate return on investment and demonstrable long-term cost savings resulting from the installation of smart energy efficiency solutions;

·   
Concerns regarding the substantial and volatile cost of energy, the adverse implication of global climate change and the desire for energy independence;

·   
Increasing pressure on corporations and public sector organizations to establish and attain sustainability goals;

·   
Increasing regulatory pressure on utilities to include energy efficiency and renewable energy in their resource plans;

·   
The availability of rebates and tax incentives at the federal, state, and regional levels for organizations that reduce their energy consumption;

·   
Existing and prospective government mandates to improve the efficiency of M.U.S.H. facilities;

·   
The allocation of funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA") to promote energy efficiency and alternative energy projects in federal, state and local municipal facilities; and

·   
The migration toward a low-carbon economy which will potentially place a price or tax on the carbon emissions of our clients.

Through OctusSEP we offer building owners and managers a full range of solutions to address the resource efficiency and management needs of their facilities. These solutions are based on our ability to identify and deliver significant return on our clients' investments, improve the quality of their facilities, maximize their operational savings and reduce their maintenance costs.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as those controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded that as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our conclusion was based on (1) our lack of systematic accounting and disclosure procedures, notwithstanding that the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto are prepared and reviewed by management and that the Company’s chief financial officer reviewed each transaction during the periods covered by the report that had an effect on the Company’s financial statements included in the Form 10-Q, (2) the absence of personnel, other than the chief financial officer, with requisite expertise in the functional areas of finance and accounting, and (3) the absence of a functioning audit committee or outside directors on the Company’s board of directors.
 
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Our internal control over financial reporting is 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.  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
1.  
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
2.  
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 of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
3.  
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 our financial statements.
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and reporting.  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.

During the Annual 10-K review process for the year ended December 31, 2009, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our 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.  Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009 and the deficiencies reported continue to be deficiencies as of September 30, 2010.
 
 
1.
Overall lack of systematic accounting and disclosure procedures, notwithstanding that the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto are prepared and reviewed by management and that the Company’s chief financial officer reviewed each transaction during the periods covered by the report that had an effect on the Company’s financial statements included in the Form 10-K,
 
 
2.
The absence of personnel, other than the chief financial officer, with requisite expertise in the functional areas of finance and accounting, and
 
 
3.
The absence of a functioning audit committee or outside directors on the Company’s board of directors.
 
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
Throughout the period covered by the report, the Company had minimal amounts of cash and limited active business activities.  To address the weaknesses identified above, management reviewed and performed an analysis of every transaction for the period covered by the report that had an impact on the Company’s financial statements included in the Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses described in this Item, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presents in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company also intends to address the weaknesses identified above by adding more formalized accounting, control and disclosure procedures, by hiring additional personnel resources when the Company’s operations and financial position permit it to do so, by continuing to have the chief financial officer review all significant transactions affecting the Company’s financial statements, and by considering the appointment of outside directors and audit committee members in the future where appropriate.
 
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
 
The Company intends to address the weaknesses identified above by adding more formalized accounting, control and disclosure procedures, by hiring additional personnel resources when the Company’s operations and financial position permit it to do so, by continuing to have the chief financial officer review all significant transactions affecting the Company’s financial statements, and by considering the appointment of outside directors and audit committee members in the future where appropriate.
 
Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Certain Matters Relating to the Company’s 2003 Reincorporation Transaction

In connection with a review of previous corporate transactions, the Company recently became aware of administrative errors related to the Company's change of domicile from California to Nevada at the end of 2003.  At the time of all of the events described below, the Company was a shell company with no cash (or nominal cash), no business and a small amount of liabilities consisting primarily of accrued obligations and notes to a related party.  Further, the majority shareholder, and the person who was the president of OCTuS California at the time of the events described below, have affirmed in writing to the Company that their vote, support and intention was to enact the events.

As reflected in previous filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), in December 2001, OCTuS, which was then incorporated in California (sometimes referred to as “OCTuS California”), distributed a proxy statement to its shareholders in connection with its annual meeting of stockholders to be held on December 29, 2001 (the “2001 Meeting”), soliciting approval for a proposal to change the state of incorporation of OCTuS from California to Nevada.  The proxy statement indicated that the change of domicile would be accomplished by merging OCTuS California into a newly formed subsidiary, OCTuS Nevada.  At the time, one shareholder, Grupo Dynastia, S.A., a foreign corporation, held approximately 56% of the outstanding voting stock as of the record date of the meeting.  Grupo Dynastia has represented to management of the Company in writing that it supported the reincorporation and change of domicile.  In addition, Grupo Dynastia and the person who at the time was the president of OCTuS California have represented to management of the Company in writing that Grupo Dynastia delivered to OCTuS California in advance of the 2001 Meeting a signed form of proxy appointing the president of OCTuS as proxy for the shareholder to vote the shareholder’s shares in favor of the reincorporation and the other proposals at the 2001 Meeting.  However, the Company does not have in its records evidence that an executed proxy was received by OCTuS California from Grupo Dynastia or taken into account at the meeting.

In December 2003, the Company decided to effect the reincorporation transaction that it believed had been approved at the 2001 shareholder meeting.  A new corporation was incorporated in Nevada named OCTuS, Inc. (“OCTuS Nevada”).  All assets and liabilities of OCTuS California, which consisted of the nominal cash and minimal liabilities described below, were transferred to OCTuS Nevada on or before December 31, 2003 as part of the change of corporate domicile.  However, for reasons of administrative inadvertence, articles of merger were not filed in either Nevada or California.

In January 2004, dissolution and winding up certificates were filed with the California Secretary of State for OCTuS California, reciting that OCTuS California had elected to wind up and dissolve; that the election was made by the vote of at least 5.8 million shares, representing in excess of approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of the Company; that the affairs of OCTuS California had been completely wound up; that the known debts and liabilities of the company had been paid or provided for; and that all known assets of the company had been distributed to the OCTuS California shareholders.

The person who was the president of OCTuS California at the time at the time of the events described above has affirmed in writing that these filings were intended to be part of the process of implementing the reincorporation merger transaction.  At the time, Grupo Dynastia owned common stock and preferred stock of OCTuS California representing in excess of 97.6% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of OCTuS California.  Grupo Dynastia has represented to management of the Company in writing that it supported and approved of the reincorporation transaction in December 2003, regardless whether it was affected by means of a merger, transfer of assets and lisbilities or other mechanism.

On March 23, 2004, the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC with respect to the year ended December 31, 2003 (the “2003 Form 10-K”), indicating that it was a Nevada corporation and including the following disclosure:  “On December 29, 2001, a majority of the shareholders voted to change the Company's state of incorporation from California to Nevada.  In December 2003, this change was completed and the Company became a Nevada corporation.”  According to the 2003 Form 10-K, at December 31, 2003, OCTuS was not engaged in any business activities, its total assets consisted of $22 of cash, and its liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,238, accounts payable and accrued expenses to related parties of $16,138, and notes payable to a related party, Grupo Dynastia, of $144,271.  According to the 2003 Form 10-K, the aggregate market value of shares held by non-affiliates of the Company as of March 18, 2004, was $31,676, and the actual value of those shares may have been even less in light of, among other factors, the Company’s liabilities and lack of any business and cash assets.

Implementing what management of the Company believed was the merger transaction; OCTuS Nevada subsequently issued one share of OCTuS Nevada for each share of OCTuS California held by each person who was a former shareholder of OCTuS California.  If not part of the merger transaction, the the Company believes the issuance of shares was part of the distribution by OCTuS California of its remaining assets, consisting of the shares issued by OCTuS Nevada, to its shareholders as part of the process of winding up OCTuS California.  Accordingly, there was no change in ownership of shares of the Company as the result of the redomicile.  In addition, no shareholder has communicated with the Company or its officers in any way concerning claims or complaints relating to the above matters.

The Company has submitted for filing with the Nevada Secretary of State, articles of merger reflecting the merger transaction that the Company believed occurred at the end of 2003.  However, the Company cannot provide any assurances concerning the legal effect, if any, of belatedly filing such articles of merger at such time in the circumstances described above.

The foregoing matters may give rise to liabilities, claims or regulatory actions under federal or state laws, including without limitation relating to whether sufficient shareholder approval was obtained for the reincorporation transaction, whether the issuance of shares of OCTuS Nevada in the reincorporation transaction complied with federal and state securities laws, whether the foregoing matters affect OCTuS Nevada's status as a successor issuer under federal securities laws, and other related matters.  The Company can give no assurance as to whether any such liabilities, claims or regulatory actions, including actions by the Commission or state regulatory authorities, may arise in the future or the outcome of any such liabilities, claims or regulatory actions on the Company's business and previously reported or current financial statements.  An adverse outcome in any such claim or proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.
