GROGENESIS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Operations


GroGenesis, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nevada on May 19, 2010 under the name Lisboa Leisure, Inc.  On October 18, 2013, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to GroGenesis, Inc. and to affect a forward split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock such that every one share of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the split be exchanged for 25 post-split shares of common stock and that the Company's post-forward split authorized capital consisted of 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.  The name change and split were conditions precedent to our asset acquisition agreements with Joseph Fewer of Aylmer, Ontario and Steven Moseley of Paris, Tennessee, whereby we agreed to purchase certain assets necessary for the operation of a plant growth surfactant manufacture and sales business.


On September 9, 2013, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Joseph Fewer and Stephen Moseley, whereby we agreed to acquire all rights, title, and interest in and to the assets relating to our initial product, AgraBurst™, (the “APA”).  In consideration of Joseph Fewer selling the intellectual property comprising AgraBurst™ to us, including the technology described in the United States provisional patent application number 61/897,584 - "Composition and Method for Enhancing Plant Growth", as well as all related assets necessary for operating a plant growth enhancement product manufacture and sales business as a going concern, we issued to Mr. Fewer 12,500,000 post forward-split common shares in our capital.  The APA also required that we complete a forward split of our common stock such that 25 new shares of common stock are exchanged for each currently issued share of common stock outstanding, and that 74,000,000 shares of post-forward-split common stock held by our former president be returned to treasury.  We completed this forward-split on November 1, 2013.


During our fiscal year ending May 31, 2016, we developed further enhancements to our AgraBurst™ formula to make it an all-natural, premium organic, non-GMO nano-surfactant for farmers, fertilizer manufacturers and commercial lawn and turf companies.  Now called AgraBurst PRO™ and as our flagship product, it is considered an agricultural input which improves the ability of the plant (crop, turf, tree, vine etc.) to enhance the efficient access of added nutrients incorporated in fertilizers, resulting in less fertilizer needed as well as improved water retention in soil.  By optimizing the plant's uptake of applied pest and weed controls and fertilizers, producers can minimize other input costs while reducing the health risk to farm workers due to its non-toxic properties.  AgraBurst PRO™ (the “Product”) is formulated for organic and non-GMO producers and those food growers seeking to convert to non-GMO and organic food production.  We believe application of our Product can begin the process of improving the health of the soil while reducing the use of conventional chemical agricultural inputs.  Our strategy is to capitalize on the convergence of consumer demand, retailer demand/compliance and legislative drive toward environmental responsibility.


Basis of Presentation


The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made.  The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2016 (including the notes thereto) set forth on Form 10-K.  The Company uses as guidance Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).




7



Significant Accounting Policies


For reference to a complete list of significant accounting policies, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2016 (including the notes thereto) set forth on Form 10-K.


During the six months ended November 30, 2016, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT LIQUIDITY PLANS


As of November 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,564,431. For the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred operating losses of $637,741 and $387,421 respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $288,447 and $252,010, respectively.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital in order to fund operations, meet its payment obligations and execute its business plan.  There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company and whether the Company will generate revenues, become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow.  If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds on favorable terms, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables and to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity on less favorable terms until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.  There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.  If the Company is unable to obtain financing on a timely basis, the Company could be forced to sell its assets, discontinue its operations and/or pursue other strategic avenues to commercialize its technology.


Accordingly, the accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial statements, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily represent realizable or settlement values.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


NOTE 3 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT


On July 11, 2016, the Company exchanged its trade show booth and manufacturing facility assets with a net book value of $94,926 for the return of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 6).  The Company currently outsources its product manufacturing to a third party.


NOTE 4 - ADVANCE


As of November 30, 2016, the Company owed $21,750 to an associate of the Company’s management. The advance is unsecured, payable on demand and non-interest bearing.


NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTIES


As of November 30, 2016, the Company owes a former COO of the Company $46,417, which is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.  The former COO resigned as our Chief Operating Officer on September 17, 2015.


As of November 30, 2016, the Company owes a former CFO of the Company $27,500, which is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. The former CFO started working for the Company on August 1, 2014 and resigned in April 2015.





8




As of November 30, 2016, the Company owes the former President of the Company $44,542 for loans, general and administration expenses and travel expenses paid on behalf of the Company, and consulting services provided by the former President.  The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.  The former President resigned as President, CEO, CFO, and as a director of the Company on September 18, 2015.


As of November 30, 2016, the Company owes the spouse of the former President of the Company $4,000 for general and administration support services provided to the Company.  The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.


As of November 30, 2016, the Company had loans of $63,325 from shareholders. These amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment. The Company has not yet formalized loan agreements for these loans.


On July 11, 2016, the Company entered into a Rescission Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Rescission Agreements”) separately with two shareholders, whereby the shareholders agreed to rescind any business agreements, including existing consulting agreements, whether verbal or in writing, and in conjunction with such rescission, agreed to return an aggregate total of 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Company for cancellation. In conjunction with Rescission Agreements, the Company and the shareholders consented to a mutual release of any claims, current or contemplated. In connection with one of the Agreements, the Company exchanged its trade show booth and manufacturing facility assets with a net book value of $94,926 for the return of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is included in the 5,500,000 aggregate shares returned. In connection with the second Rescission Agreement, the shareholder agreed to rescind their consulting agreement and return 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These 5,500,000 shares are reflected as treasury stock retired as of November 30, 2016.


NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK


Effective November 1, 2013, the number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company increased from 75,000,000 common shares to 200,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.

Private Placements


From October 28, 2016 to January 3, 2017, the Company received proceeds under a private placement consisting of 3,360,000 units at a price of $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $336,000 (the “PPM”).  Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and two warrants to purchase two shares of common stock.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.15 per share and three-year term.  None of these shares have been issued as of the date of this filing.  A total of $206,000 of these proceeds, representing sales of 2,060,000 units, were received subsequent to November 30, 2016.


As consideration for entering into the PPM, the Company anticipates offering to participating investors in the Company’s previous private placements, new terms on their common stock purchase warrants acquired under the previous private placements (“Previous Warrants”) as follows:  (1) change the exercise term of the Previous Warrants from the date of issuance date to three years, (2) reduce the exercise price of the Previous Warrants from $0.20 to $0.15, and (3) add an additional warrant for one share of common stock with the foregoing terms.  As of the date of this filing, the Company has not finalized the agreement underlying these terms with the investors.

Use of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) Financial Measures


We use United States GAAP financial measures in the section of this report captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” (MD&A), unless otherwise noted.  All the GAAP financial measures used by us in this report relate to the inclusion of financial information.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.  All references to dollar amounts in this section are in United States dollars, unless expressly stated otherwise.


Corporate Overview


We were incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nevada on May 19, 2010 under the name Lisboa Leisure, Inc.  On October 18, 2013, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to GroGenesis, Inc. and to affect a forward split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock such that every one share of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the split be exchanged for 25 post-split shares of common stock and that the Company's post-forward split authorized capital consisted of 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.  The name change and split were conditions precedent to our asset acquisition agreements with Joseph Fewer of Aylmer, Ontario and Steven Moseley of Paris, Tennessee, whereby we agreed to purchase certain assets necessary for the operation of a plant growth surfactant manufacture and sales business.


On September 9, 2013, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Joseph Fewer and Stephen Moseley, whereby we agreed to acquire all rights, title, and interest in and to the assets relating to our initial product, AgraBurst™, (the “APA”).  In consideration of Joseph Fewer selling the intellectual property comprising AgraBurst™ to us, including the technology described in the United States provisional patent application number 61/897,584 - "Composition and Method for Enhancing Plant Growth", as well as all related assets necessary for operating a plant growth enhancement product manufacture and sales business as a going concern, we issued to Mr. Fewer 12,500,000 post forward-split common shares in our capital.  The APA also required that we complete a forward split of our common stock such that 25 new shares of common stock are exchanged for each currently issued share of common stock outstanding, and that 74,000,000 shares of post-forward-split common stock held by our former president be returned to treasury.  We completed this forward-split on November 1, 2013.


On July 11, 2016, we entered into a Rescission Agreement and Mutual Release separately with two shareholders, whereby the shareholders agreed to rescind any business agreements, including existing consulting agreements, and in conjunction with such rescission, agreed to return an aggregate total of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock for cancellation.  On July 18, 2016, we entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) separately with two shareholders, whereby on the Effective Date (as defined below) each shareholder agreed to (i) surrender 10,000,000 shares of our common stock, and (ii) assign such common stock to us for cancellation thereof pursuant to an Assignment of Interest; and whereby, in exchange, we shall (i) cancel the shareholder’s common stock, (ii) issue each shareholder 20,000 shares of a new class of capital stock, namely a Series A Preferred Stock of $0.001 par value (the “Exchange Stock”), and (iii) enter the exchange on our books and records.  “Effective Date” means the date the Exchange Agreement, including the Assignment of Interest has been fully executed and delivered, we have obtained shareholder approval of the establishment of the class of Series A Preferred Stock and the Certificate of Designation establishing the Series A Preferred Stock has been filed with the Nevada Secretary of State.


During our fiscal year ending May 31, 2016, we developed further enhancements to our AgraBurst™ formula to make it an all-natural, premium organic, non-GMO nano-surfactant for farmers, fertilizer manufacturers and commercial lawn and turf companies.  Now called AgraBurst PRO™ and as our flagship product, it is considered an agricultural input which improves the ability of the plant (crop, turf, tree, vine etc.) to enhance the efficient access of added nutrients incorporated in fertilizers, resulting in less fertilizer needed as well as improved water retention in soil.  By optimizing the plant's uptake of applied pest and weed controls and fertilizers, producers can minimize other input costs while reducing the health risk to farm workers due to its non-toxic properties.  AgraBurst PRO™ (the “Product”) is formulated for organic and non-GMO producers and those food growers seeking to convert to non-GMO and organic food production.  We believe application of our Product can begin the process of improving the health of the soil while reducing the use of conventional chemical agricultural inputs.  Our strategy is to capitalize on the convergence of consumer demand, retailer demand/compliance and legislative drive toward environmental responsibility.

Operating expenses decreased $49,719 for the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2015, a decrease of 20%.  The primary reason is a $47,386 decrease in consulting fees for the three months ended November 30, 2016 in comparison to the three months ended November 30, 2015, due to decreased use of consultants.  Additionally, depreciation decreased $6,165 primarily from the Company’s exchange of its trade show booth and manufacturing facility assets on July 11, 2016 for the return of 5,500,000 shares of its common stock.

Operating expenses increased $250,320 for the six months ended November 30, 2016 from the six months ended November 30, 2015, an increase of 65%. The primary reason is a $164,609 increase in consulting fees for the six months ended November 30, 2016 in comparison to the six months ended November 30, 2015, due to increase use of consultants during the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, professional fees increased by $93,655 primarily from increased legal services and services related to reporting and filing requirements.

Interest expense increased from $0 for the six months ended November 30, 2015, to $2,006 for the six months ended November 30, 2016, primarily due to financing obtained on a vehicle loan in January 2016.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of November 30, 2016, we had cash on hand of $42,267 and a working capital deficiency of $365,793 as compared to cash equivalents on hand of $12,387 and a working capital deficiency of $305,629 as of May 31, 2016.  The increase in cash was offset primarily from a decrease in prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the six months ended November 30, 2016.


Private Placement Offerings


During the six months ended November 30, 2016, the Company completed private placements consisting of 1,650,000 units at a price of $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $165,000.  Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 and have a one-year term.


On August 8, 2016, the Company issued 349,607 common shares for aggregate proceeds of $34,960 received prior to May 31, 2016 and recorded as common stock subscribed as of May 31, 2016.


In October and November 2016, the Company completed private placements consisting of 1,300,000 units at a price of $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $130,00. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 and have a one-year term. The shares were not yet issued as of November 30, 2016, and are reflected as common stock subscribed on the Company’s balance sheet.




16



Subsequent to our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2016, we completed private placements consisting of 2,060,000 units at a price of $0.10 per share for total aggregate proceeds of $206,000.  Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and two warrant to purchase two shares of our common stock.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.15 and have a three-year term.


Going Concern


The unaudited financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  We have accumulated losses through November 30, 2016 of $3,564,431 as well as incurred negative cash flows from operating activities.  Presently, we do not have sufficient cash resources to meet our plans through the twelve months ended November 30, 2017.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in order to finance our research and development activities and general and administrative expenses.  These alternatives include raising funds through public or private equity markets and either through institutional or retail investors.  Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with our fund-raising initiatives, management believes that we will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.  If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all.  If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our future plans for developing our business and achieving commercial revenues. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital, we may have to cease operations.

Given our cash position of $42,267 as of November 30, 2016, management believes that our cash on hand and working capital are not insufficient to meet our current anticipated cash requirements.  We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our business.  In addition, while we have received capital from various private placements that have enabled us to fund our operations, these funds have been largely used to develop our processes and purchase initial amounts of inventory, although additional funds are needed for other corporate operational and working capital purposes.  Therefore, we will need to raise an additional $500,000 to $750,000 to cover all of our operational expenses over the next 12 months.  These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares.  There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.  The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations.  Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify our business plan.  In addition, we cannot be assured of profitability in the future. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis should it be required, or generate significant material revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.


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 is material to stockholders.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


For reference to a complete list of critical accounting policies and estimates, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2016 (including the notes thereto) set forth on Form 10-K.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


For reference to a complete list recently adopted accounting pronouncements, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2016 (including the notes thereto) set forth on Form 10-K.


Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements


Except as disclosed below, for reference to a complete list newly issued accounting pronouncements, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2016 (including the notes thereto) set forth on Form 10-K.


In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies existing guidance related to accounting for cash receipts and cash payments and classification on the statement of cash flows.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its financial statements.


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the period covered by this report.  Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based upon their evaluation, our management (including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of November 30, 2016, based on the material weaknesses defined below:


i)

Lack of Formal Policies and Procedures.  We utilize a third party independent contractor for the preparation of our financial statements.  Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions.  The third party independent contractor is not involved in the day-to-day operations of our Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions.


ii)

Audit Committee and Financial Expert.  We do not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus we lack the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.


iii)

Insufficient Resources.  We have insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls.  As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


iv)

Entity Level Risk Assessment.  We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud related risks and the risks related to non- routine transactions, if any, on internal control over financial reporting.  Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness.


We are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the near term, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.


Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.


Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our condensed financial statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2016 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended November 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.  We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings


We know of no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder is a party adverse to our company or has a material interest adverse to our company.


Item 1A. Risk Factors


As a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item 1A.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


From October 28, 2016 to January 3, 2017, the Company received proceeds under a private placement consisting of 3,360,000 units at a price of $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $336,000 (the “PPM”).  Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and two warrants to purchase two shares of common stock.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.15 per share and three-year term.  None of these shares have been issued as of the date of this filing.  A total of $206,000 of these proceeds, representing sales of 2,060,000 units, were received subsequent to November 30, 2016.


As consideration for entering into the PPM, the Company anticipates offering to participating investors in the Company’s previous private placements, new terms on their common stock purchase warrants acquired under the previous private placements (“Previous Warrants”) as follows:  (1) change the exercise term of the Previous Warrants from the date of issuance date to three years, (2) reduce the exercise price of the Previous Warrants from $0.20 to $0.15, and (3) add an additional warrant for one share of common stock with the foregoing terms.  As of the date of this filing, the Company has not finalized the agreement underlying these terms with the investors.


The above sales of securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws for offerings to "accredited investors" as such term is defined in the Securities Act or in reliance upon Regulation S of the Securities Act.  The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sales of securities for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs.


Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities


None.


Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures


Not Applicable.
