American CryoStem Corporation

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

NOTE 1. Organization of the Company and Significant Accounting Policies

 

American CryoStem Corporation (the “Company”) is a publicly held corporation formed on March 13, 2009 in the state of Nevada as R&A Productions Inc. (R&A).

 

In April 2011, R&A purchased substantially all the assets and liabilities of American CryoStem Corporation (ACS) for 21 million shares of common stock. ACS was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. At that time, the former operations of R&A were discontinued and the name of the Company was changed to American CryoStem Corporation.

 

The Company is in the business of collecting adipose tissue and processing and storing the adult stem cells extracted for future use. The process allows individuals to preserve their stem cells for future personal use in cellular therapy. The adipose derived stem cells are prepared and stored in their raw form without manipulation, bio-generation or the addition of biomarkers or other materials, making them suitable for current and future cellular treatments and therapies offered by existing and planned treatment centers worldwide. Individualized collection and storage of adult stem cells facilitates personalized medical solutions by providing the patient’s own preserved stem cells for future cellular therapies.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) uniformly applied requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the financial statements and for the period they include. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and interest bearing deposits - For the purpose of calculating changes in cash flows, cash includes all cash balances and highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue from the processing of adipose tissue into usable stem cells once all the procedures have been performed and the client sample has been stored in the Company’ cryogenic storage tank. Storage revenues for stored client samples are recognized on an annual basis on the anniversary date of the storage.

 

Long Lived Assets - The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.

 

Equipment - Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is estimated as follows:

 

Office equipment 5 years
Lab equipment & Furniture 7years
Lab software 5 years
Leasehold improvements 15 years

 

Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable income or deductible expenses in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period adjusted for the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

NOTE 1. Organization of the Company and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740, Income Taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. All tax returns from fiscal years 2009 to 2011 are subject to IRS audit.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued changes to the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, similar to the goodwill changes issued in September 2011. These changes provide an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. Such qualitative factors may include the following: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors; overall financial performance; and other relevant entity-specific events. If an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that an impairment is more likely than not, the entity is then required to perform the existing two-step quantitative impairment test, otherwise no further analysis is required. An entity also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the two-step quantitative impairment test. These changes become effective for any indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test performed on January 1, 2013 or later, although early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption of these changes, management plans to proceed directly to the two-step quantitative test for indefinite-lived intangible assets. As these changes should not affect the outcome of the impairment analysis of an indefinite-lived intangible asset, management has determined these changes will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

NOTE 2. Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been presented in accordance with GAAP, which assumes the continuity of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has no material revenues to date and continues to rely on financing and the issuance of shares to raise capital to fund its business operations. Management’s plans with regard to this matter are as follows:

 

The Company has been actively engaged in creating and implementing its new business model. In connection with this process, management of the Company has raised $255,500 under SEC Rule 506 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

 

The Company plans to continue to fund its operations through capital fundraising activities in 2013 until the new commercial facilities generate sufficient revenue to support its operations.

Net loss per share is computed as follows:

 

   Dec 31, 2012   Dec 31, 2011 
         
Net Loss  $(214,419)   (313,721)

On August 2, 2011, the Company was awarded U.S. Patent No. US 7,989,205 B2, titled Cell Culture Media, Kits, and Methods of Use. The Patent is for cell culture media kits for the support of primary culture of normal non-hematopoietic cells of mesodermal origin suitable for both research and clinical applications.

 

NOTE 6. Note(s) Payable

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2012 the company issued a principal amount of $255,500 of 8% Convertible Notes due September 30, 2014 and received proceeds of $255,500. The notes are convertible into restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at any time until maturity by the holder at $0.35 per share. The Company may also prepay the notes at any time upon at least 30 days written notice to the holder(s) either in whole or in part. Upon any prepayment by the Company of the convertible notes the Company shall issue to the holder a warrant to purchase 250 shares of common stock for each $1,000 of principal prepaid. Each warrant issued upon prepayment shall have an exercise price of $0.35 per share of common stock and shall be exercisable for a period of two years from the date of the prepayment.

 

Certain purchasers of the convertible notes elected to convert a principal amount of $49,000 resulting in the issuance of 140,000 restricted shares of the company’s common stock.

NOTE 9. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value Measurements under generally accepted accounting principles clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy as follows.

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Cash, prepaid expense, security deposit, accounts payable and accrued expenses, capital lease payable, payable to shareholder, and note payable to shareholder in the balance sheet are estimated to approximate fair market value at December 31, 2012.

 

NOTE 10. Reliance on Key Personnel

 

The Company largely relies on the efforts of its Chief Operating Officer and its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of its Board of Directors. A withdrawal of the efforts of the Chief Operating Officer or the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman would have a material adverse affect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 11. Litigation

 

The Company is not party to any pending litigation against it and is not aware of any litigation contemplated against it as of December 31, 2012 and the date of these financial statements.

 

NOTE 12. Subsequent Events

 

The Company has made a review of material subsequent events from December 31, 2012 through the date of this report and found no material subsequent events reportable during this period.

Background

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 13, 2009. On April 20, 2011, we acquired, through our wholly owned subsidiary American CryoStem Acquisition Corporation, substantially all of the assets from, and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of, ACS Holdings, Inc. (“ACS”) in exchange for our issuance of 21,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to ACS (the “Asset Purchase”). We filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2011 disclosing the Asset Purchase and certain related matters including, but not limited to, the appointment of our present officers and directors as well as the resignation by the former chief executive officer and sole director. Our fiscal year ends September 30 of each calendar year.

Overview

 

American CryoStem Corporation, which we refer to as we, us, our and our Company, is a life sciences and biotechnology company that creates and markets products and services for the cosmetic and regenerative medicine market with a focus on IP development, and the processing and storage of adipose tissue adipose derived regenerative cells for cosmetic use and future use in regenerative medicine. Our products and services provide a current clinical solution for the development of new cosmetic procedures and regenerative cell applications. We also have developed methods for the collection, processing and storage of these materials so that they are immediately available when needed.

 

Our principal commercial operations are the collection, processing, storage and application development of adipose (fat) tissue and adipose derived adult regenerative cells. Our ongoing application development efforts have resulted in the recent launch of our ATGRAFT™ product for cosmetic and plastic surgeons in support of cutting edge multi layer and multi procedure cosmetic treatments. Consumers participating through our enrolled physician network can preserve their tissue and adult stem cells for current and potential future use in cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. Consumers and physicians can elect to create individualized cellular based products and regenerative cell therapy services from any stored materials. We offer services to consumers through cosmetic and plastic surgeons and to the professional research and development community for product and application development. Additionally we provide contract manufacturing utilizing our core technologies to produce unique products such as Autokine-CM, the key ingredient in the U Autologous line of skin care products produced and marketed by Personal Cell Sciences, a private company founded by our Chairman and CEO, John Arnone.

 

Included in our marketed products are a number of patented and patent pending laboratory products and services provided through our clinical tissue processing and stem cell and tissue storage facility. The products and services are based upon our validated core processing and storage methodologies and are marketed to a variety of end users including research institutions, co-development partners and other biotechnology and consumer healthcare product manufacturers.

 

We continue the development our intellectual property portfolio to expand our growing pipeline of products and services for the life science, biotech and physician markets. We offer these products and services under the brand name ACS Laboratory Services through our www.acslaboratories.com website.

 

Our management believes that in the near-term, our services may be centered on the storage of adipose tissue collected from a customer during liposuction for future cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Applications include the use of processed adipose tissue and stem cells as biocompatible fillers in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, hands, breasts and buttocks. The Company also continues development of additional services including adipose derived regenerative cells processing, cellular treatment applications and material storage. Development of applications are based on a large and growing body of published medical research and clinical studies that indicate that adipose derived stem cells can be used to support tissue repair and cell therapies to expedite healing of wounds, physical trauma, burns, joints, bone, muscle, tendons and ligaments. This research also indicates that the effects of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, central nervous disorders and diabetes may be alleviated through the application of adipose derived regenerative cells.

 

Products and Services

 

Our business remains in its formative stage and to date has generated minimal revenue, however, subject to, among other factors, obtaining the requisite financing, management anticipates that we will be able to provide the following services:

 

  · Collecting an individual’s adipose tissue through a participating doctor who will forward the tissue to our FDA registered laboratory
  · Processing the tissue in the laboratory for immediate storage or to separate the component parts of an individual’s adipose tissue, which includes the stem cells and other regenerative cells
  · Cryopreserving adipose tissue and/or adipose derived stem cells for immediate use or long term storage
  · Provide testing services for physicians performing in-office procedures and tissue processing
  · Contract manufacturing services to cosmetic and biotechnology cellular application developers
  · Sale or licensing of our patented stem cell culture and differentiation medium to researchers and product developers

 

At our clinically validated, FDA registered laboratory we initially prepare all adipose tissue, stromal vascular fraction and adipose derived stem cell samples and cryopreserve them in their raw form without bio-generation, or the addition of biomarkers or other materials. This method of processing and storage permits the samples to be used as personal genetically matched raw materials for the future production of products, regenerative treatments, or their current use in tissue grafts and cosmetic products. Management believes that the autologous or self use of these biocompatible materials may make such tissue and regenerative cells suitable for physician administered treatments and services. The biomedical use of regenerative cells to treat disease and injury, enhance cosmetic surgery, and provide other regenerative cellular treatments in a physician’s office as well as in existing and planned hospitals and clinics creating significant economic opportunities for the physician and regenerative medicine solutions for the consumer. Management believes that affordably preserving adipose tissue and regenerative cells derived from adipose tissue can provide a user with the opportunity to safely take advantage of the emerging field of regenerative medicine, i.e., healing the body using one’s own tissues and stem cells.

Storage Services

 

The adipose tissue we receive for processing and cryopreservation is stored using a proprietary cryopreservation solution (medium) in our Mount Laurel, New Jersey laboratory facility. This proprietary solution is comprised of pharmaceutical grade materials that are approved by the FDA for human injection. We believe that the use of this storage medium as a cryoprotectant qualifies the processed samples for exemption under section 361 of the PHS Act.

 

Management currently believes that we will be able to collect, process and store adipose tissue and adipose derived regenerative cells for adults for an initial fee ranging from $750 to $2500. Our pricing model is based upon the stored volume of tissue, SVF or cellular samples and the storage configuration (raw fat, SVF, or mesenchymal cells) and the testing services required. Cellular samples are configured by cell type, purity and cell density. During the initial stages of our marketing program with new physician providers and new collection facilities we may from time to time offer discounts from the list price. We may also offer wholesale pricing to contract manufacturing clients, collaboration partners, and white label partners. Thereafter, it is intended that at the expiration of any discount program that each storage client will be responsible for the payment of an annual minimum storage fee, initially priced at $200.00 per year. The storage fees charged are based upon the type of material stored, the total volume, and the storage configuration.

 

Wound Healing Market

 

During 2012 we entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Protein Genomics, Inc. (PGen) to test and develop new products combining certain intellectual property and patented products. We have provided PGen with research materials and our patented cell culture media for testing with PGen’s patented products designed for the wound healing market. Initial testing has been completed and on September 1, 2012 we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PGen to further develop products based upon the results of the initial collaboration.

 

Management intends to pursue additional Collaborative and Partnering opportunities as a strategic method to expand the distribution of its patented products, services, technologies and expertise in the clinical processing of adult adipose tissue for autologous (self) use and Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells. Management believes that as the pace of clinical trial results and other scientific publications advances that new opportunities to leverage its existing products, services and Intellectual Property portfolio may also increase.

 

Product Development

 

We are continuing to expand our products and services based upon our intellectual property portfolio and projects in the pipeline. Our initial patent was granted on August 6, 2011 for our adipose stromal cell culture media and differentiation media. We have filed multiple patent applications for our products and methods including:

 

  · ACSelerate-SF (animal serum free) and ACSelerate-LS (low dose bovine serum) Adipose stromal cell culture and differentiation medium in clinical and research grades
  · The CELLECT™ collection and tracking system for collecting tissue and cellular samples
  · Adipose tissue, stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose derived mesenchymal cell processing, expansion and differentiation
  · Storage preparation methods for adipose tissue, stromal vascular fraction (SVF), adipose derived cellular samples,
  · Testing and quality management methods, systems, data collection and maintenance
  · Cryoprotectant for the storage of adipose tissue samples
  · The ATGRAFT™ service for the collection, preparation, storage and retrieval of adipose tissue for cosmetic and plastic surgery biocompatible fillers.

 

16
 

 

We believe that the combination of our validated cellular processing capabilities and patented products give us an economical platform to develop and produce cellular therapy applications for injection or intravenous therapy, topical applications, burn and wound healing, joint repair, disease treatments and cosmetics. The clinical methods and products we have developed are designed to, in the future permit a variety of treatments for any patient with their own genetically matched raw materials which have shown to be safe and effective in a variety of applications in published early stage clinical trial results and application studies.

 

We have implemented a strategic approach to developing and launching new products that we believe can produce near term cash flow, residual revenue, and complimentary scientific data. We focus on products, services and applications that require little or no regulatory approval. These products and services include adipose tissue and stem cell sample processing and storage as a form of personal “bio-insurance”, adipose tissue (fat) storage for cosmetic fat engraftment procedures as well as for the creation of topical applications and ingredients used by other companies in the wound healing and cosmetic industries.

 

Our cellular processing and storage services have been developed under the CELLECT™ trademark. Our adipose tissue storage services are marketed under the ATGRAFT™ trademark. These services are an end-to-end clinical solution for the collection, testing, processing, tracking and delivery of one or more tissue or cellular samples for any individual. Stored tissue may currently be retrieved for (a) immediate use in cosmetic engraftment, (b) future use in cosmetic engraftment, (c) further processing and delivery of a cellular sample for future use in topical or orthopedic applications or (d) processing and cellular expansion for future direct or intravenous injection of the adipose derived stem cells for disease management and treatment.

 

We anticipate revenue generation for our CELLECT™ services from the initial collection and storage procedure, and all future processing or expansion of stored tissue samples. Based upon the initial collection volume from the patient and intended use, we can create and store multiple tissue and cellular samples for a lifetime of customer use thereby allowing the individual to “lock-in” their current cellular age and generate additional revenue for each individual tissue or cellular sample retrieval. Our tissue collection, processing and storage services are marketed through physicians and our main website, www.americancryostem.com.

 

On June 7, 2012 we filed a provisional patent application titled “Compositions and Methods for Collecting, Washing, Cryopreserving, Recovering and Return of Lipoaspirates to Physician for Autologous Adipose Transfer Procedures (US Serial No. 61/656,837) covering our methods and materials developed for the Company’s ATGRAFT™ adipose tissue collection, proprietary cryoprotectant, adipose tissue processing and storage, retrieval and secondary processing services.

 

We also anticipate revenue generation from the sale of our internally developed ACSelerate™ proprietary cell culture and differentiation medium products and the sale or licensing of our internally validated standard operating procedures. Our laboratory processing products and services are marketed directly to research facilities, healthcare facilities, and biotechnology companies and through our laboratory website, www.acslaboratories.com

 

During the year ended September 30, 2012, we began offering contract manufacturing services to biotechnology and cosmetic product manufacturers. We entered into our first such contract manufacturing with Personal Cell Sciences to provide cellular processing, sample storage and ingredient manufacturing for a line of personalized skin care products. Personal Cell Sciences is a private company founded by our Chairman and CEO, John Arnone.

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

We have deployed a multichannel marketing strategy to enroll physicians and consumers in our tissue or stem cell storage programs. Our business relationships with other synergistic companies are focused on marketing our laboratory services and products through either licensing or contract manufacturing arrangements. Our major focus is the continual branding of American CryoStem’s tissue and regenerative cell storage platform as the “gold-standard” in the industry. Increasing physician, consumer and corporate confidence in our ability to process and store a clinical grade sample has led to unsolicited third party exposure of our technology.

 

As part of our marketing campaign towards physicians we are actively seeking to bring highly qualified peer leaders onto our Medical Advisory Board to assist us in our industry speaking and education platform. This physician education platform is designed to focus on the industry’s needs and demands as it relates to current and future treatments using our adipose tissue and adult stem cell technologies. We have initiated a direct marketing program focused upon plastic and cosmetic surgeons and have an initial group of providers that have begun to offer our services to their patients. The marketing program has been implemented using a traditional sales approach common to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This basic industry sales approach and the core of our marketing activities are being expanded using a combination of in-house sales personnel and outside independent channels.

 

17
 

 

In addition, we have begun a comprehensive integrated marketing campaign through various media such as the internet, social media, video, print, TV, radio and trade shows to reach targeted potential consumers to promote awareness of our company and our products. The essence of this targeted strategy is to reach the end-users as quickly as possible and to accelerate the adoption curve of our products and services. We also plan to utilize outside marketing resources and trade groups to increase the number of surgeons willing to offer our products and services to their patients.

 

The combination of a traditional sales approach supported by continuous internal and external marketing programs will be closely coordinated with the expansion of our laboratory processing capabilities. The initial approach is intended to disseminate current and future uses of adipose tissue and adult stem cells which support our business model, products and services. We intend to also employ both print advertising and social media sales campaigns. In addition, we plan to utilize key leaders, and early adaptors in the medical community as a marketing resource to increase the number of surgeons who join our network and collaborate with us.

 

A key objective of our marketing campaign is to position American CryoStem in the market as the premier, affordable adipose tissue and adult stem cell banking company in North America. Our marketing strategy seeks to generate company awareness and increase the customer base through an Integrated Marketing Campaign consisting of the following:

 

  · Social Media: development of social communities through Face book, Twitter, Linked-In, etc. for topic(s) discussion and word-of-mouth promotion.
  · Print media: for brand awareness generating an ‘informed customer’ through national newspapers, and magazine
  · Online media: to channel customers to our website where customers are educated on the benefits of adult stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine. Traditional TV and Radio
  · Networking: with specific organizations to generate large long-term contracts (hospitals, surgery center franchises, unions, etc.)
  · Trade shows: conference participation with major institutions will help with company exposure and future relationships with other companies and doctors.
  · News publications: promoting the innovation of American CryoStem and stem cell/regenerative medicine industry
  · Vertical alignment: with targeted associations and organizations specifically seeking alternative research for cures that can be facilitated through the use of our proprietary stem cell processing.

 

Distribution Development

 

The Company seeks to develop regional relationships to leverage its new products and services through existing cosmetic surgery and regenerative medicine practices. During the quarter ended December 31, 2012 the Company announced the establishment of an adult stem cell and adipose tissue collection at the Stern Center for Aesthetic Surgery in Bellevue Washington. Dr. Frederick Stern, a member of the Company’s Scientific and Medical Advisory Board, founded the center in 1997.The Stern Center offers state-of-the-art laser and cosmetic surgical techniques to patients throughout the western U.S. and beyond. The Stern Center is one of the premier laser-assisted liposuction centers in the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Stern has trained physicians from across the U.S. and around the world, in the latest cosmetic surgical techniques.

 

Also during the quarter, the Company entered into it first private label agreement with XeoStem LLC., of Coral Gables, FL in which American CryoStem will provide its proprietary adipose tissue processing and storage services. The agreement permits XeoStem to offer the Company’s tissue, cell banking and storage services to its customers and through other XeoStem affiliated physicians. The Company intends to pursue additional private label opportunities as they may develop in the future.

 

Medical and Advisory Board

 

The Company’s Scientific and Medical Advisory Board assists the Company in identifying new trends and opportunities for the Company’s products and services. The Company’s Advisory Board provides the Company with the opportunity to create relationships with highly respected and skilled physicians, researchers, PhD’s among others who also assist in product and market development.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2012 the Company announced the addition of Dr. Melvyn Bircoll. Dr. Bircoll’s extensive and highly successful 45 year career includes the development of new surgical techniques and devices and the development of the modern art of fat transfer utilizing a combination of liposuction surgery and micro injections.

Cash Requirements

We will require additional capital to fund marketing, operational expansion, processing staff training, as well as for working capital. We are attempting to raise sufficient funds would enable us to satisfy our cash requirements for a period of the next twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) months. We have minimal long term debt and have been able to meet our past financial obligations on a current basis.

 

In order to finance further market development with the associated expansion of operational capabilities for the time period discussed above, However, we cannot assure you we can attract sufficient capital to enable us to fully fund our anticipated cash requirements during this period. In addition, we cannot assure you that the requisite financing, whether over the short or long term, will be raised within the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Should we be unable to raise sufficient funds we may be required to curtail our operating plans if not cease them entirely. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future.

 

We expended $80,815 during the six months ended December 31, 2012 in professional fees (legal, accounting and consultants) and $49,174 in Research and Development.

 

Going Concern

As of the date of this quarterly report, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our business.

 

We have suffered recurring losses from operations since our inception. In addition, we have yet to generate sufficient internal cash flow from our business operations or successfully raise the financing required to fully develop our business. As a result of these and other factors, our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to generate capital financing. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

 

Our plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: (i) obtaining funding from new investors to alleviate our working capital deficiency, and (ii) implementing a plan to generate sales of our proposed products and services. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to resolve our liquidity problems and increase profitability in our current business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had a cash balance of $30,114 as of the date of this quarterly report. Our principal source of funds has been sales of our securities.

 

Should we be unable to raise sufficient funds, we will be required to curtail our operating plans if not cease them entirely. We cannot assure you that we will generate the necessary funding to operate or develop our business. Please see “Cash Requirements” above for our existing plans with respect to raising the capital we believe will be required.

 

In the event that we are able to obtain the necessary financing to move forward with our business plan, we expect that our expenses will increase significantly as we attempt to grow our business. Accordingly, the above estimates for the financing required may not be accurate and must be considered in light these circumstances.

 

Commitments

As of the date of this quarterly report, the company’s material capital commitments were (i) the continued funding of the expansion of our marketing efforts and laboratory processing capabilities, (ii) an equipment lease in the amount of $67,320 for laboratory equipment with monthly payments of $1,869.74 and the final payment due March 2015, and (iii) the current lease for the laboratory spaces at the Burlington County College Science Incubator, Laboratory 110 and 108, Each Laboratory lease requires a monthly payment of $1,650. On February 1, 2012 the Company entered into a new two year lease with the Burlington County Science Incubator for the laboratory space. Under the new lease the monthly payments for each laboratory (110 and 108) will be $1,650.00.

 

19
 

 

The Company has an operating lease for its main office facility located at 1 Meridian Road, Eatontown, New Jersey 07724. The lease is for a term of three years with a monthly rent of $2,500. The total rent for office facilities for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $7,500.

 

The Company in connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement assumed an unsecured note payable in the face amount of $65,000 with interest payable upon maturity of 6%. The current balance due is $73,450, the note matured October 31, 2012 and the Company and the Note holder are currently negotiating the conversion of the note to either (a) common shares, (b) a new note with updated terms or (c) a combination of both. The Company has unsecured liabilities without interest of $140,535 due to ACS Global, the majority shareholder of the Company, for certain prepaid expenses made by ACS Global prior to the closing of the transaction, there is no due date associated with this liability.

 

We anticipate that any further capital commitments that may be incurred will be financed principally through the issuance of our securities. However, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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 investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation. Our financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United State of America, whereby revenues are recognized in the period earned and expenses when incurred.

 

Management’s Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Long-Lived Assets We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the assets’ carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their estimated useful lives. If the carrying amounts are greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the fair values of those assets are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values are recorded as impairments in that fiscal period.

 

Statement of Cash Flows For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments (i.e., investments which, when purchased, have original maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the recorded amounts because of the liquidity and short-term nature of these items.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe that any future adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As of December 31, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the relevant period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
