VITRO DIAGNOSTICS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE A: NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Organization


Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on February 3, 1986.  From November of 1990 through July 31, 2000, the Company was engaged in the development, manufacturing and distribution of purified human antigens (“Diagnostics”) that were derived primarily from human tissues.  The Company also developed cell technology including immortalization of certain cells that allowed entry into other markets besides diagnostics.  However, during the 1990’s, the Company’s sales were solely attributable to the sales of purified human antigens for diagnostic applications.   


Following the sale of its Diagnostics operations in August of 2000, the Company began devoting all efforts to its cellular generation technology which evolved from a focus on induction of cellular immortalization to technology related to stem cells.  Stem cell technology has potentially broad application to many medical areas, including drug discovery and development together with numerous therapeutic applications to diseases involving cellular degeneration, injury or to the treatment of cancer.  The Company launched a series of products targeting basic research in stem cell technology in 2009.  These “Tools for Stem Cell and Drug Discovery™” offer researchers basic tools needed to advance stem cell technology including stem cells and their derivatives, media for growth and differentiation of stem cells and advanced tools for measurement of stem cell quality, potency and response to toxic agents.  The Company has been granted patents for its proprietary technology related to the immortalization of human cells and subsequently expanded this technology to include patented and patent-pending technology involving generation of stem cells with potential application to a variety of commercial opportunities including the treatment of degenerative diseases and drug discovery.

 

The Company also owns patented technology related to treatment of human infertility.   The Company also owns patented technology that provides protection to a specific cell line derived from human pancreatic tissues that gives rise to structures comparable to the Islets of Langerhans (beta islets).  These islets also synthesize and secrete insulin in response to elevated glucose levels, as do beta islets contained within pancreatic tissue.  Vitro has also developed a process for the commercial production of its cell line-derived islets.  Furthermore, the Company previously obtained regulatory approval for an animal protocol to determine reversal of Type I diabetes, a critical step in the demonstration of efficacy.  This patent affords an exclusive proprietary position to the Company for a new cellular therapy to treat Type I diabetes.


The Company is currently focused on revenue generation from its stem cell-based research products and to expanded opportunities for revenue generation in drug discovery and development together with select opportunities in regenerative medicine.

Basis of Presentation – Going Concern


These financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended January 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has suffered significant losses since inception and has working capital and shareholders’ deficits of $(2,269,162) and $(2,208,876), respectively, at January 31, 2015, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and generate revenues and profits from operations.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company has financed its operations primarily through cash advances from the Company’s president, as well as through various private placements of equity securities.  Since the year ended October 31, 2013, the President has advanced the Company a total of $173,600 for working capital on an “as needed” basis, including $32,500 during the three months ended January 31, 2015.  There is no assurance that these advances will continue in the future.


The Company has various initiatives underway to increase revenue generation through diversified offerings of products and services related to its stem cell technology and analytical capabilities.  The goal of these initiatives is to achieve profitable operations as quickly as possible. Also, management has ongoing discussions with potential financial partners who have expressed interest in funding the Company and we intend to pursue these discussions to the full extent possible.  Various strategic alliances that are ongoing and under development, are also critical aspects of management’s overall growth and development strategy.


There is no assurance that these initiatives will yield sufficient capital to maintain the Company’s operations. In such an event, management intends to pursue various strategic alternatives.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Use of estimates


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash equivalents


For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers.  The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.  At both January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, accounts receivable are net of allowances of $2,500.


Inventory


Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market.  Finished goods inventories include certain allocations of labor and overhead.  At January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, finished goods included $6,761 and $5,915, respectively, of labor and overhead allocations.  Inventories consisted of the following:

 

January 31, 2015

 

October 31, 2014

Raw materials

 $    11,979

 

 $       12,702

Finished goods

13,611

 

          9,628

 

 $    25,590

 

 $     22,330


Shipping and freight costs


All freight costs associated with the receiving of goods and materials are expensed during the period in which it is received.  For the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, $1,970 and $995, respectively, are included in research and development (“R&D”) costs in the accompanying statements of operations.  Shipping costs for products shipped to customers, if any, is generally charged to the customer at invoicing and are considered a component of the sale transaction.  For the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, $-0- and $177, respectively, are included in product sales in the accompanying statements of operations.




7



Research and development


The Company’s operations are predominantly in R&D.  These costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of costs for: salaries, overhead and occupancy, contract services and other outside costs, quality assurance and analytical testing. As the Company’s operations include manufacturing and R&D, we report cost of goods sold, including estimates of labor, materials and overhead allocations to the production of specific products manufactured for sale. 


Property, equipment and depreciation


Property and equipment, generally consisting of laboratory equipment and office equipment and furniture, are stated at cost and are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years using the straight-line method.  Depreciation expense totaled $3,160 and $3,773 for the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.


Upon retirement or disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.  Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized.


Patents, deferred costs and amortization


Patents consist of costs incurred to acquire issued patents.  Amortization commences once a patent is granted.  Costs incurred to acquire patents that have not been issued are reported as deferred costs.  If a patent application is denied or expires, the costs incurred are charged to operations in the year the application is denied or expires.


The Company amortizes patents over a period of ten years.  Amortization expense totaled $799 for each of the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014.


Estimated future amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is as follows:


Year ended October 31,

2,400 

2016

 

3,198

At January 31, 2015, the Company had one patent as follows:

Generation and differentiation of adult stem cell lines

 $

31,975 

(This patent is for a proprietary stem cell line with potential application to treatment of diabetes in both animals and humans.)

 

 

    Less accumulated amortization

 

(17,994)

 

 $

      13,981

In October 2014, the Company incurred costs relating to the provisional filing of a new United States patent application entitled “Treatment of Neurological Conditions by Activation of Neural Stem Cells”.  These costs totaled $777, and are included as deferred patent costs in the accompanying balance sheet at October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2015.


In January 2015, the Company incurred costs relating to the upcoming filing of a new patent application related to its stem cell therapy of horses.  The Company deposited its proprietary cell line known as EquaCell as the initial step in the process of filing this application.  These costs totaled $2,500, and are included as deferred patent costs in the accompanying balance sheet at January 31, 2015.


Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets


The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is determined as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.


The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of it long-lived assets for possible impairment.  With the exception of the write offs of certain deferred patent costs as discussed above, the Company recorded no asset impairment charges during either of the three months ended January 31, 2015 or 2014.  A contingency exists with respect to these matters, the ultimate resolution of which cannot presently be determined.


Income taxes


The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


Revenue recognition and concentration of revenues


The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.


The Company derives a portion of its revenue from data and analysis services, and is included in Professional services income in the accompanying statement of operations.  Any costs associated with this revenue are included in the Company’s operating costs and expenses.


For the three months ended January 31, 2015, 89% of the Company’s revenues were attributed to customers of a company controlled by a director.  Of the remaining 11%, no significant



9



concentrations existed.  For the three months ended January 31, 2014, 76% of the Company’s revenues were made to customers of a company controlled by this director.  Of the remaining 24%, no significant concentrations existed.


Advertising Costs


The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred.  Advertising costs were $780 and $180 for the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.


Consulting Expenses


From time-to-time the Company engages consultants to perform various professional and administrative functions including public relations and corporate marketing.  Expenses for consulting services are generally recognized when services are performed and billable by the consultant.  In the event an agreement requires payments in which the timing of the payments is not consistent with the performance of services, expense is recognized as either service events occur, or recognized evenly over the period of the consulting agreement where specific services performed under the agreement are not readily identifiable.  Consulting agreements in which compensation is contingent upon the successful occurrence of one or more events are only expensed when the contingency has been, or is reasonably assured, to be met.


Fair value of financial instruments


The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term obligations consisting of various capital lease obligations approximates its carrying value.


Concentrations of credit risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable.  As of January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, the Company had no amounts of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.


Net loss per share


The Company reports net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents.  Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents.  For each of the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, common stock equivalents of 300,000 representing fully vested outstanding stock options, were not included in the diluted per share calculation as all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net losses in the periods.




10



Stock-based compensation


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share based payment arrangements, and requires all entities to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting for share based payment transactions with employees.  Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the holder is required to provide services in exchange for the award, i.e., the vesting period.


Recent accounting standards

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2015 and 2014, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.

NOTE B: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Advances and accrued interest payable to officer


Through January 31, 2015, the Company’s President had advanced the Company a total of $750,614 used for working capital including $32,500 during the three months ended January 31, 2015.  The advances are uncollateralized, due on demand and accrue interest on the unpaid principal at a rate of 10% per annum.  Accrued interest payable on the advances totaled $217,704 and $199,738 at January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, respectively.  The total advances plus accrued interest totaling $968,318 and $917,852 at January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, respectively, are included as “Advances and accrued interest payable to officer” in the accompanying financial statements.


Employment agreements and accrued compensation


Effective May 1, 2008, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with its President.  The Agreement established annual base salaries of $80,000, $85,000, and $90,000 over the three years of the Agreement, which was to expire on April 30, 2011.  On April 27, 2011, the Company’s board of directors ratified a modification to the original agreement establishing an annual base salary of $12,000 per year, effective February 1, 2011 and continuing for three years, expiring February 2, 2014.  The agreement has expired and the Company is contemplating its options regarding the compensation of the President.  The Agreement also provided for incentive compensation based on the achievement of minimum annual product sales and an option to purchase one million shares of the Company’s common stock that includes contingent vesting requirements. As of January 31, 2015, 100,000 of these common stock options were vested, and are exercisable at $0.19 per share and expire in July 2018.  These options are further discussed in Note E under the “Stock options granted to officer” caption.

At October 31, 2014, deferred taxes consisted of a net tax asset of $2,122,340, due to operating loss carry forwards and other temporary differences of $8,746,467, which was fully allowed for in the valuation allowance of $2,122,340.  The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery.  The changes in the valuation allowance for the years ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $53,442 and $49,556, respectively.  Net operating loss carry forwards will expire in various years through 2034.




13



The Company is delinquent on filing its federal and state tax returns and may be subject to penalties and interest.  A contingency exists with respect to this matter, the ultimate resolution of which may not be presently determined.


The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized.  At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.


Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s tax net operating loss carry forwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.


NOTE D: LINES OF CREDIT


The Company has a $12,500 line of credit, of which $535 was unused at January 31, 2015.  The interest rate on the credit line was 21.90% at January 31, 2015.  The credit line is collateralized by the Company’s checking account.  Principal and interest payments are due monthly.


At January 31, 2015 the Company also had three credit cards with a combined credit limit of $28,600, of which $3,818 was unused.  The interest rates on the credit cards range from 10.24% to 29.4%, with a weighted average rate of 14.15% at January 31, 2015.


NOTE E: CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION


In November 2013, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement to acquire certain laboratory equipment.  The Company is obligated to make 24 monthly payments of $2,006 plus applicable sales and use taxes through October 2015.


Future maturities of the Company’s capital lease obligations are as follows:

NOTE F: SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT


Preferred Stock


The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock, of which none were issued and outstanding at January 31, 2015.  These shares may be issued in series with such rights and preferences as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

Stock options granted to officer


On May 1, 2008, the Company granted a non-qualified stock option to its President to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.19 per share, and expire in 2018.  On the grant date, the traded market value of the stock was $0.19 per share.  The options vest upon the achievement of certain contingencies.  As a result of the patent license agreements in March 2011, a contingency was met resulting in the vesting of 100,000 of these options.  None of the other contingencies have been met as of January 31, 2015, and as of that date $170,100 of unamortized stock compensation expense remains for the unvested portion of these options. The weighted average exercise price and weighted average fair value of these options on the grant date were $0.19 and $0.19, respectively.  


The fair value of the options was determined to be $189,000, and was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


Risk-free interest rate

3.68%

Dividend yield

0.00%

Volatility factor

228.72%

Weighted average expected life

6.5 years


Common Stock Issued for Services


The Company issues shares of its common stock to certain Directors and members of the Company’s advisory boards.  The value of the services is determined by the fair value of the common stock at the time the shares are considered issued.  The amounts are capitalized to equity as “services prepaid with common stock” on the Company’s balance sheets until the services are considered earned, at which time they are expensed as stock-based compensation and removed from equity.


As of both January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, no shares previously issued to directors or members of advisory boards were unearned.


Incentive plans


The Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan in 2000 (the "Plan") for the benefit of key personnel and others providing significant services to the Company.  The Plan replaced the 1992 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1992 Plan").  The 1992 Plan will remain effective only so long as options remain outstanding under the 1992 Plan.  No new options will be granted under the 1992 Plan, and the only shares that will be issued under the 1992 Plan are those shares underlying currently outstanding options.  


The Plan authorizes total awards of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  Awards may take the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock bonuses and other stock grants.  If an award made under the Plan expires, terminates, is canceled or settled in cash without the issuance of all shares of common stock covered by the award, those shares will be available for future awards under the Plan.  Awards may not be



15



transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  No awards may be granted under the Plan after September 30, 2010.


The Plan is administered by the Company's Board of Directors, which may delegate its authority to a committee of the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has the authority to select individuals to receive awards, to determine the time and type of awards, the number of shares covered by the awards, and the terms and conditions of such awards in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  In making such determinations, the Board of Directors may take into account the recipient's current and potential contributions and any other factors the Board of Directors considers relevant.  The Board of Directors is authorized to establish rules and regulations and make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.


All options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable at a price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  Unless otherwise specified, the options expire ten years from the date of grant.  


At January 31, 2015 a total of 543,500 options had been issued under the Plan, of which 43,500 have expired.  The 200,000 options outstanding and vested under the Plan have a weighted average exercise price of $0.08 per share, and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.03 years at January 31, 2015.  Three hundred thousand outstanding options not yet vested have an exercise price of $0.17 per share, and expire in April 2015.  For either the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, no compensation expense was recognized for options under the Plan. No additional options may be issued under the Plan.

NOTE G: CONSULTING AGREEMENTS


On November 1, 2013, the Company signed a consulting agreement with a financial advisory firm to provide consulting services regarding corporate development and evaluation of strategic financing options that may be available to the Company.  In consideration for these services, the consultant received $5,000 upon execution of the agreement, and was entitled to an additional $2,500 per month until termination of the agreement.  In addition, the consultant would have been entitled to compensation for certain completed strategic transactions dependent upon the terms of the completed transaction.  The initial term of the agreement was two months from execution of the agreement, after which the agreement would automatically renew unless terminated by written notice by either party.  On April 1, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to terminate the agreement effective March 31, 2014.  For the three months ended January 31, 2014 a total of $12,500 had been paid the consultant and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.


NOTE H: PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT


Effective March 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Technology License, License Option and Technical Assistance Agreement with a former officer of the Company, granting him an exclusive license covering two of the Company’s patents: United States Patent Number 5,990,288, Method for Purifying FSH and United States Patent Number 6,458,593 B1, Immortalized Cell Lines and Methods of Making The Same.  The patents are related to treatment of infertility and know-how relating to the commercial production and cellular generation of the hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and related gonadotropin hormones for use in the treatment of infertility in both humans and animals.  In addition, the License grants the exclusive option to license a pending patent application for the commercial production of clinical grade gonadotropin hormones and, in addition, the Company’s intellectual property related to generation of crude materials containing gonadotropin hormones from certain cellular sources. The License has an initial term of five years and shall be automatically renewed for additional two year periods until terminated by either party; however, the license can be terminated after two and one-half years if there have been no sales of licensed products.  The parties to this patent license have developed additional business collaborative opportunities involving the Company’s stem cell products, know-how and IP especially related to regenerative medicine applications of modern stem cell technology.  Since there continues to be opportunities for commercialization, the Company has elected not to terminate this agreement at the present time.


NOTE I: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company has evaluated events subsequent to January 31, 2015 and through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this report. No events were noted that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Introduction


This section discusses the financial condition of Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) at January 31, 2015 and compares it to the Company’s financial condition at October 31, 2014.  It also discusses the Company’s results of operations for the three month period ending January 31, 2015 and compares those results to the results of the three months ended January 31, 2014.  This information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, including the audited financial statements and notes contained therein.


Certain statements contained herein and subsequent oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s plan of business operations, potential contractual arrangements, and receipt of working capital, anticipated revenues and related expenditures.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, acceptability of the Company’s products in the market place, general economic conditions, receipt of additional working capital, the overall state of the biotechnology industry and other factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 under the caption, “Risk Factors.”  Most of these factors are outside the control of the Company.  Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  Except as otherwise required by applicable securities statutes or regulations, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


At January 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,269,162 consisting of current assets of $38,420 and current liabilities of $2,307,582.  This represents a decrease in working capital of $50,299 from fiscal year end October 31, 2014.  The decrease in working capital was mainly due to $41,994 in increased current liabilities due to operating expenses in excess of revenue from product sales.


Current assets decreased by $8,305 and current liabilities increased by $41,994 during the quarter ended January 31, 2015.  The decrease in current assets was primarily due to decreased accounts receivable related to the Company’s product and services revenue efforts, while the increase in liabilities was primarily due to expenses in excess of revenue.  The Company reported a $2,208,876 deficit in shareholders’ equity at January 31, 2015, which was $48,870 more than the deficit reported at October 31, 2014 due to the current quarter loss.  The majority of the working capital deficit is primarily due to accrued salaries and interest due on advances from the president and CEO.


During the three months ended January 31, 2015 the Company’s financing activities provided $26,635 in cash to support our operating activities.  During that time, the Company’s operations used



18



$23,719 in cash compared to $40,034 of cash used by operations during the three months ended January 31, 2014.  The Company reported an overall decrease in cash for the first three months of 2015 of $2,472, as compared to a $3,607 increase in cash for the first three months of 2014. Cash raised from financing activities was derived through loans from the Company’s president and CEO.   Cash usage reflects a minimum cash requirement of about $8,000 per month for operations. Cash requirements for operations have been cut to a minimum level by previous cost reduction measures and are unlikely to be further reduced without additional curtailment or suspension of operations.  

 

The Company had total lines of credit and credit cards outstanding of $36,745 with $4,354 available in credit at January 31, 2015.  The Company must continue to service debt and the Chairman personally guarantees most of the Company debt.  Management is actively pursuing measures to reduce corporate debt while at the same time implementing various measures to increase revenues.


The Company continues to pursue various activities to obtain additional capitalization, as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2014.  While total revenues decreased from $26,338 in the first quarter of 2014 to $16,185 in the first quarter of 2015, additional revenue generation activities are in progress.  Product sales increased by 70% in the first quarter of 2015, while service revenues decreased by 78%.  The latter is mainly due to economic conditions in Europe that affected our primary service customer.  We have recently developed new stem cell activating products to provide additional applications to service the European market.  Also, there are other revenue generating initiatives at various development stages as described in further detail below (See Results of Operations).  We have also expanded our research products offerings including specialized cells, cell culture media, and other products. We added new products that are gaining market recognition, including cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) to support cancer research and neural stem cells as well.  Our developments in cell-based assays during 2014 open other markets to the Company that management is also pursuing.  We continue to commercialize our proprietary equine MSC cell line for applications in veterinary markets.   We also have strategic alliance opportunities for our clinical grade MSC-Gro cell culture medium that management is pursuing.


The Company is also pursuing other approaches to increase its capital resources such as investment, further out-licensing of its intellectual property, sale of assets or other transactions that may be appropriate.  

Results of Operations


During the three months ended January 31, 2015, the Company realized a net loss of $48,870 or $0.00 per share on $14,484 in total net revenue.  The net loss was $6,038 less than the net loss for the first quarter ended January 31, 2014.  The decreased net loss in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter in 2013 was primarily due to decreased operating costs and expenses.  Research and development expenses (“R&D”), decreased by $6,004, and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $13,169.  The decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses was predominantly due to absence of a financial service contract that was effective in 2014, as well as a decrease in officer salaries.  




19



While the R&D necessary for launch of our initial products was completed previously, the Company continues to develop new products and services.  These development activities are coordinated with business development activities orientated towards revenue growth for the Company.  The decrease in R&D expenses during the first quarter was due to fewer, less expensive projects during the equivalent period in 2015. Our current revenues are derived from product sales and services.  Our product sales increased 70% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  This was due to increased specialty manufacturing for our European partner together with addition of human cell lines to our product line.  Recently, we have expanded our product offerings that support cancer research to include products for support of lung, colorectal and pancreatic cancer research.  We have also expanded our stem cell lines to include neural stem cells, reprogrammed human mesenchymal stem cells and adipose-derived stem cells. We are currently developing equine MSCs for veterinary applications and cell-based assays for drug discovery and development.  We are also exploring collaborative opportunities to integrate our cell development capabilities and capacity with established CROs targeting cell-based, pre-clinical drug development.


During the first quarter of 2014, we added bioanalytical services to our revenue generation capabilities.  These services include select and customized biomarker panel analysis providing customers quantitative levels of multiple biological molecules within various biological samples.  This work led to identification of advanced analytical technology platform that the Company plans to implement during 2015.  This operation involves analysis of human serum samples collected from patients within specific clinical trials. The results obtained provide information regarding current status and responses to various therapies.  In addition, we now have cell-based assays for osteoporosis drug discovery, stem cell functional assays and cellular toxicity that we are commercializing.  We are also adding bio-banking to our services since our cell-based analytical platform expertise supports long-term storage and quality assurance of human cells.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Not applicable.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.


Our management, with the participation of our CEO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as a result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial



20



reporting due to lack of segregation of duties and a limited corporate governance structure as discussed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.


While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff. We believe that this is typical in many R&D companies. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we generate more revenues at which time we would expect to hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

 

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