LESCARDEN INC .
(UNAUDITED) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
November 30, 2012
 
Note 1 - General:
 
The accompanying condensed financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures or financial details required by generally accepted accounting principles. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2012. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year's operations.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss from operations for the six months ended November 30, 2012, has a stockholders’ deficiency and a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company’s plan and ability to continue as a going concern is primarily dependent upon its ability to maintain consistent production volumes to fulfill existing sales orders.  Production lead time has increased at the Company’s primary raw material supplier and alternative sources of supply are being evaluated so that manufacturing and production disruptions can be minimized. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish an alternative source of supply and maintain consistent production volumes to meet demand.  The financial statements do not include any potential contingent liabilities associated with the establishment of an alternative source of supply given the uncertainties associated with the regulatory, logistic and financial issues involved but it is likely that mill construction, testing and regulatory certification will necessitate at least six months before production commences.
 
At November 30, 2012, inventory of $211,898 consisted of $58,570 of finished goods and $153,328 of raw materials.
 
Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated August 10, 2012, the Company agreed to sell and issue 8,645,533 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 to its Chairman of the Board. The sale was completed on September 24, 2012.

Item 2.         Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Results of Operations:
 
Raw material production delays have resulted in order fulfillment lead times of greater than six-months and increasing backorders in both new and existing markets. The results of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2012 reflect partial fulfillment of purchase orders to European markets but production delays caused backorders equal to 100% of revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2012.  Preliminary estimates from potential alternative suppliers of raw material supply indicate significant increases in the unit cost of raw material and there is ongoing uncertainty as to the fulfillment of outstanding purchase orders for raw materials.
 
Three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to November 30, 2011
 
The Company’s revenues increased in the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2012 compared to November 30, 2011 by 1,300% or $250,377 due to the resumption of production operations at the Company’s sole raw material supplier and the fulfillment of outstanding purchase orders to European distributors. Revenues during the quarter ended November 30, 2011 were limited to sales of skin care products as delays associated with lab testing and regulatory recertification of the Company’s new packager prevented commencement of packaging operations until November 2011.  Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 34.95% for the three months ended November 30, 2012 reflecting higher raw material cost than historical averages.  Cost of sales for the three months ended November 30, 2011 included non-recurring setup and testing costs associated with the transfer of the Company’s packaging operations which departed from historical averages during the transition to the new facility.
 
Non-direct costs and expenses during the three months ended August 31, 2012 were 10% or $10,505 higher than those of the comparative prior-year period due to increases salaries and commissions of $13,619 and $12,849 offset by decreased professional fees of $12,563 associated with the re-audit of the year ended May 31, 2011 during the previous comparative period.
 
Six months ended November 30, 2012 compared to November 30, 2011
 
The Company’s revenues increased in the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2012 compared to November 30, 2011 by 525% or $238,663 due to the resumption of production operations at the Company’s sole raw material supplier. Revenues during the six months ended November 30, 2011 were limited to sales of skin care products as delays associated with lab testing and regulatory recertification of the Company’s new packager delayed fulfillment of Catrix orders until February 2012.  Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 34.76% for the six months ended November 30, 2012 reflecting higher raw material cost.  Cost of sales for the six months ended November 30, 2011 included non-recurring set-up and testing costs associated with the transfer of the Company’s packaging operations to a new packager, which departed from historical averages during the transition to the new facility.
 
Non-direct costs and expenses during the three months ended August 31, 2012 were 0.07% or $160 higher than those of the comparative prior-year period due to increases in salaries, shipping and commissions of $6,762, $4,990 and $12,849 respectively.  Professional fees associated with the re-audit of the year ended May 31, 2011 during the previous comparative period caused a decrease of $17,881 for the six months ended November 30, 2012 and the Company relocated warehoused inventory to more cost effective facilities and implemented tax favored high deductible health insurance benefit plan yielding decreases in insurance and rent expenses of $5,492 and $1,068 respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of November 30, 2012, the Company’s current assets exceeded its accounts payable and accrued expenses by $212,271. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance increased by $43,294 in the six months ended November 30, 2012 to $85,911. On September 24, 2012 the Company sold 8,645,533 shares common stock to its Chairman of the Board for $200,000 pursuant to the Stock Purchase agreement for the unregistered issuance of securities dated August 10, 2012.
 
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures at November 30, 2012.

Item 3.         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Not required for smaller reporting company.
 
 
Item 4.         Controls and Procedures.
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
 
The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
 
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation in connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
