BI-OPTIC VENTURES INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
August 31, 2011
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
(unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of Bi-Optic Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and is unlikely generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at August 31, 2011, the Company has a working capital deficit of $96,518 and has accumulated losses of $4,900,464 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
(b)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the applicable standard on March 1, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, principally in ITEM #2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. These statements may be identified by the use of words like “plan”, “expect”, “aim”, “believe”, “project”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “will”, “should”, “could” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion, expectation, or projection of future operating or financial performance, events or trends. In particular, these include statements about the Company’s strategy for growth, property exploration, mineral prices, future performance or results of current or anticipated mineral production, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and the outcome of contingencies, such as acquisitions and/or legal proceedings.
Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those projected in any such forward-looking statements depending on a variety of factors, including, among other things, the factors discussed in this Quarterly Report and factors described in documents that we may furnish from time to time to the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events or otherwise.
Results of Operations
The Company has not had any sources of revenue to date and has financed its activities substantially through equity financing. The Company has incurred net losses each year since inception and, as of 8/31/2011 had an accumulated deficit of ($4,900,464).
On 9/20/2010, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Eidam Diagnostics Corporation (“Eidam”), and all of the shareholders of Eidam in a reverse takeover pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Eidam in exchange for up to 67,870,000 common shares or such other number as allowed by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company also agrees to reserve up to an additional 24,451,250 common shares of the Company to be issued on conversion of the preferred shares of Eidam, which may be issued as part of a private placement being completed concurrently to raise gross proceeds of up to $3,000,000.
On 9/16/2011, the Company announced that it had terminated its intention to acquire 100% of the shares of Eidam. The Company was unable to secure the necessary financing and sponsorship required to complete the Transaction.
