1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Boston Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on August 24, 2009 under the name Avanyx Therapeutics, Inc. On November 10, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Boston Therapeutics, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (“Target”) providing for the merger of Target into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”), the issuance by the Company of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the stockholders of Target in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Target, and the change of the Company’s name to Boston Therapeutics, Inc. David Platt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is a founder of Target and was a director and minority stockholder of Target at the time of the Merger. Dr. Platt received 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Merger. Kenneth A. Tassey, Jr., who became the Company’s President shortly after the Merger, was the Chief Executive Officer, President and principal stockholder of Target at the time of the Merger. Mr. Tassey received 3,200,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the Merger.

Boston Therapeutics, headquartered in Manchester, NH, (OTC: BTHE) is a leader in the field of complex carbohydrate chemistry. The Company's initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for diabetes: SUGARDOWN®, a non-systemic chewable complex carbohydrate dietary supplement designed to moderate post-meal blood glucose; BTI-7, a new chewable dose form of the diabetes drug metformin hydrochloride; PAZ320, a non-systemic chewable therapeutic compound designed to reduce post-meal glucose elevation, and IPOXYN™, an injectable anti-necrosis drug specifically designed to treat lower limb ischemia associated with diabetes.

The Company has minimal operations and is considered to be in the development stage as of September 30, 2012. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is a recently formed entity with limited resources and operating history. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of $2,119,012 for the period from August 24, 2009 (inception) to September 30, 2012 and has negative working capital of $302,296 as of September 30, 2012. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities.

Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital, the Company may be required to cease operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

and Period from Inception (August 24, 2009) to September 30, 2012

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for its year ended December 31, 2011 included in its Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary in order to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2012 and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the period from inception (August 24, 2009) through September 30, 2012.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The results disclosed in the Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Information

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate, discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from sales of SUGARDOWN®. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue is recognized as product is shipped from an outside fulfillment operation. Terms of product sales provide for 30 day money back guarantee. In practice, the Company has not experienced or granted significant returns of product. Shipping fees charged to customers are included in revenue and shipping costs are included in costs of sales.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods of SUGARDOWN®. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, not in excess of net realizable value. The Company adjusts the carrying value of its inventory for excess and obsolete inventory. The Company continues to monitor the valuation of its inventories.

and Period from Inception (August 24, 2009) to September 30, 2012

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES…continued

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Asset Category	Estimated Useful Life
Office Furniture and Equipment	5 years
Computer Equipment and Software	3 years

The Company begins to depreciate assets when they are placed in service. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

Goodwill

The Company follows the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, which include the Company’s intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets are compared to the assets’ carrying values. Adjustments to fair value are made if the sum of expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than book value. To date, no adjustments for impairment have been made.

Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed based on the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average actual shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period unless the effect of such common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 did not include 1,878,400 and 20,000 options and warrants, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 did not include 1,578,400 options because of their anti-dilutive effect.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the notes payable as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is not materially different from the fair value of the notes payable.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock–based compensation, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options and modifications to existing stock options, is recognized in the income statement based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted and recognizes the compensation cost of share-based awards on a straight- line basis over the vesting period of the award.

and Period from Inception (August 24, 2009) to September 30, 2012

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES…continued

Stock-Based Compensation...continued

The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company has a minimal history of market prices of the common stock as, and as such volatility is estimated using historical volatilities of similar public entities. The expected life of the awards is estimated based on the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of our awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on history and expectation of paying no dividends. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements on a straight- line basis over the vesting period, based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

The Company grants stock options to non-employee consultants from time to time in exchange for services performed for the Company. Equity instruments granted to non-employees are subject to periodic revaluation over their vesting terms. In general, the options vest over the contractual period of the respective consulting arrangement and, therefore, the Company revalues the options periodically and records additional compensation expense related to these options over the remaining vesting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is then necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset with its carrying value. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for us in fiscal 2013 and early adoption is permitted. We do not believe that ASU No. 2012-02 will have a material impact on our financial statements.

3. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock and up to 100,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock.

Common Stock

On August 26, 2009, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock to its two founders. Eight million shares were issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chairman of the Board of Directors and co-founder, in exchange for a patent, a provisional patent and know-how. In accordance with ASC 845-10-S99, Transfers of Non-monetary Assets from Promoters or Shareholders, the transfer of non-monetary assets to a company by its shareholders in exchange for stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering should be recorded at the transferor’s historical cost basis determined under GAAP. As a result, the value of the patent, provisional patent and know-how was valued at the CEO’s historical cost basis of zero because no records exist to support an historical cost basis in accordance with GAAP. The patent and provisional patent were assigned to the Company on December 10, 2009. The remaining 2,000,000 shares were issued to the co-founder for $10,000 in cash.

On March 31, 2010, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock for $10,000 cash to an investor. On April 9, 2010, the Company issued 11,236 shares of common stock in exchange for $11,236 to a related party. On October 4, 2010, the Company issued 10,000 shares for $10,000 cash to an investor. On November 6, 2010, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with the merger transaction described in Note 1.

On June 21, 2011, the Company sold 2,035,470 shares for $508,867 in a private placement offering. During August 2011, an additional 56,000 shares were sold for $14,130 in the private placement. On November 1, 2011, 80,500 shares were issued to a consultant for marketing services valued at $40,250. On December 22, 2011, 10,000 shares were issued to a consultant for services rendered valued at $5,000.

On March 20, 2012 the Company entered into a subscription agreement to sell 20,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $1.10 and issued a warrant to purchase an additional 20,000 shares of common stock at $1.15 per share for gross proceeds of $22,000. The warrant associated with the subscription agreement is exercisable immediately and has a five year term. The Company estimated the relative fair value of the warrant to be $9,000 using the Black Scholes model, which has been recorded as a component of permanent equity in additional paid in capital. On May 7, 2012, the subscription agreement closed and the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock for $22,000.

3. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY…continued

During June 2012, the Company issued 105,000 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $53,550 in exchange for professional consulting services. On June 29, 2012, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares to an affiliate of Advance Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (APC) in a private placement for net proceeds of $500,000. APC is licensed to distribute SUGARDOWN® in Hong Kong, China and Macau. The Company reviewed the private placement issuance and determined that the issuance price of $0.50 per share approximates fair value as of the date of issuance.

During May 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement under which it is required to pay the consultant a monthly fee consisting of 25,000 shares of restricted common stock beginning June 1, 2012 through September 1, 2012. As of September 30, 2012 the Company had not issued the 75,000 total shares due under this agreement for services rendered during July, August and September 2012. An accrual in the amount of $35,250 representing the fair value of these shares at September 30, 2012 is included in the accompanying September 30, 2012 balance sheet.

During July 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement under which it is required to pay the consultant a monthly fee consisting of $4,000 paid in cash and 7,500 shares of restricted common stock. As of September 30, 2012 the Company had not issued the 22,500 total shares due under this agreement for services rendered during July, August and September 2012. An accrual in the amount of $10,575 representing the fair value of these shares at September 30, 2012 is included in the accompanying September 30, 2012 balance sheet.

4. STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company adopted a stock option plan entitled “The 2010 Stock Plan” (2010 Plan) under which the Company may grant options to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were 78,400 and 78,400 and options outstanding under the 2010 Plan, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company adopted a non-qualified stock option plan entitled “2011 Non-Qualified Stock Plan” (2011 Plan) under which the Company may grant options to purchase 2,100,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2012, there were 1,800,000 options outstanding under the 2011 Plan. As of December 31, 2011, there were 1,500,000 options outstanding under the 2011 Plan.

Under the terms of the stock plans, the Board of Directors shall specify the exercise price and vesting period of each stock option on the grant date. Vesting of the options is typically three to four years and the options expire ten years from the date of grant.

The fair value of stock options granted or revalued for nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was calculated with the following assumptions:

	2012			2011
Risk-free interest rate		0.31-1.27	%		0.28-0.84	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Volatility factor		90	%		90	%
Expected life of option	2.90-7.00 years			4.75-5.00 years

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, under the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $0.21 and $0.20 per share, respectively.

The Company recognized $44,638 and $116,297 of stock-based compensation costs in the accompanying statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company recognized $161,504 and $129,414 of stock-based compensation costs in the accompanying statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. No actual tax benefit was realized from stock option exercises during these periods. As of September 30, 2012, there was $238,649 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.43 years

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

The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q . This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward- looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward- looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Report on Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Overview

We are a development-stage company that was formed on August 24, 2009.

Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and founder contributed a provisional patent, a patent and know-how to the Company. In accordance with ASC 845-1-S99, Transfers of Non-Monetary Assets from Promoters or Shareholders, the transfer of non-monetary assets to a company by its shareholders in exchange for stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering should be recorded at the transferor’s historical cost basis determined under GAAP. Because no records exist to support a historical cost basis in accordance with GAAP, the patent, provisional patent and know-how were valued at the CEO’s historical cost basis of zero.

On November 10, 2010, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Boston Therapeutics, Inc. (“BTI”). BTI was in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling, among other things, dietary supplements including its initial product, SUGARDOWN®, a complex carbohydrate based dietary supplement based upon BTI’s proprietary processes and technology. SUGARDOWN® is currently in the initial stage of market introduction, and in June 2011, we entered into an agreement with Advance Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. to develop markets in Hong Kong, China and Macau for SUGARDOWN®. We believe that SUGARDOWN® has significant revenue and positive cash flow potential.

We issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the stockholders of BTI in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of BTI, and the Company’s name was changed to Boston Therapeutics, Inc. The CEO is also a founder of BTI and was a 10% shareholder of BTI at the time of the merger. A valuation of the Company’s common stock was performed resulting in a fair value per share of $0.2466. Based on the 4,000,000 shares of common stock issued for BTI the total consideration was valued at $986,400. However, because the Company’s CEO was a 10% shareholder of BTI, 10% of BTI was valued at his historical cost basis and 90% of Target was valued at fair value.

We must raise new capital to continue our business operations and intend to use the provisional patent, patent and know-how contributed by our CEO and the assets acquired from BTI (as described in Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q) to raise capital. Our CEO intends to provide minimal cash to fund critical needs until shares are sold to raise capital. We anticipate the need for a range of $3,000,000 - $5,000,000 in additional funding to support the planned expansion of our operations over the next approximately 12 months. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising additional funds.

Overall Results

Revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 were $2,520 and $23,750, respectively, compared to $724 and $2,971, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year, an increase of $1,796 and $20,779, respectively. Revenues for both periods were generated from the sale of SUGARDOWN®. The increase was a result of increased distribution through a new reseller, primarily in the first quarter of 2012.

Costs of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $9,120 and $40,877, respectively, compared to $2,834 and $5,084, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year, an increase of $6,286 and $35,793, respectively. Cost of goods sold consisted primarily of the cost of the materials and labor to manufacture SUGARDOWN®, shipping and fulfillment costs. The Company’s negative gross profit is attributable to cost of goods sold outpacing sales as a result of additional fixed costs related to moving to a new fulfillment operation, and manufacturing scale-up from small to production grade equipment.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $26,116 and $145,668, respectively, compared to $94,222 and $127,433, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of $16,000 in amortization of intellectual property and $10,000 in direct costs associated with the development of PAZ320. Research and development costs for the same period in 2011 consisted of $16,000 in amortization of intellectual property and $78,000 in direct costs associated with the development of SUGARDOWN®. Research and development expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 consisted of $48,000 in amortization of intellectual property and $98,000 in direct costs associated with the development or PAZ320. Research and development expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 consisted of $48,000 in amortization of intellectual property and $79,000 in costs associated with the development of SUGARDOWN®.

Sales and marketing expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $93,519 and $227,597, respectively, compared to $132,842 and $134,839, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The 2012 amounts represent costs incurred for investor relations and other marketing and promotion activities. The 2011 amounts are primarily related to stock based compensation.

General and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $234,632 and $498,603, respectively, compared to $115,208 and $265,503, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year, an increase of $119,424 and $233,100, respectively. These increases consist primarily of increases in consulting expenses of $94,000 and $114,000 for the three and nine month periods respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2012

As of September 30, 2012, we had cash of $169,321 and accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $510,175. During the nine months ended September 2012, we used cash in the amount of $610,918 for operating activities and $7,756 for investing activities and have received cash in the amount of $562,000 from financing activities including $40,000 advanced from related parties and $522,000 from the issuance of common stock.

We received minimal revenues from SUGARDOWN®. Without substantial revenue and known, adequate and available financing, there is uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Our CEO and our President intend to provide minimal cash to fund critical needs once the proceeds of the private placement are exhausted until additional shares are sold to raise capital or SUGARDOWN® or other products generate sufficient revenue to fund the operations of the Company.

Our CEO also contributed a provisional patent, a patent and know-how to the Company. We intend to use these assets and SUGARDOWN® to attract investors in order to raise the capital required to fund operations.

Other than our CEO’s and our President's intention to provide minimal cash, we have no current commitment from our officers and directors or any of our shareholders, to supplement our operations or provide us with financing in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources and/or additional sales of stock in the future, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results. In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, and we may be required to cease operations, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 herein for a discussion of critical accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information requested by this item, as provided by Regulation S-K Item 305(e).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15-d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“CEO/CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s CEO/CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company has evaluated the changes in its internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and concluded that the following matters have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As of September 30, 2012, there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to the fact that the Company did not have personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience to ensure adequate levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters, which resulted in our closing process not identifying all required adjustments in a timely fashion.

Although the Company has hired consultants to assist with SEC reporting and accounting matters, we expect that the Company will need to hire accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge to improve the levels of review of accounting and financial reporting matters. The Company may experience delays in doing so and any such additional employees would require time and training to learn the Company’s business and operating processes and procedures. For the near-term future, until such personnel are in place, this will continue to constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that could result in material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements not being prevented or detected.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO/CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In May 2012, the Company entered into a consulting agreement under which it is required to pay a consultant a monthly fee of 25,000 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for services, beginning June 1, 2012. That consultant has provided and continues to provide services to the Company. At a November 8, 2012, meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Board formally approved the issuance of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to that consultant for its services through October 31, 2012.
