ITEM 1
Haber, Inc. has developed advanced chemical and electrochemical process technologies for separations, extractions, and purifications. The Company spends varying amounts, $69,940, $–0–, and $1,542 in fiscal years ended May 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, on research and development to further improve the technologies and product previously developed, described later. The Company will now focus on commercializing these technologies through joint ventures or license agreements.
The only product that the Company provides is the EMP–15K. The primary business of the company is to develop and market future sales of its technologies, and the Haber Gold Process. The Company may also seek licenses, joint ventures, or other arrangements with large industrial partners. These arrangements would include the sales or grants of uses of its technology in exchange for cash payments, as well as a percentage of the business, such as net smelter return.
The supply sources for supplies and raw materials used in the manufacture of the EMP–15K are not confined to any specific location or company, but are universally available.
EMP, an acronym for ElectroMolecular Propulsion, is an electrochemical process, which enables the movement or positioning of a variety of different molecules. It operates in a manner analogous to other known technologies, such as electrophoresis and chromatography. EMP is distinguished from other known techniques by the mechanisms involved, the scope of applicability, and the great speed and control of the results.
The main competition to EMP are the technologies of chromatography and electrophoresis, sold by established instrumentation companies worldwide, which include Hewlett Packard, Perkin Elmer, Beckman Instruments, and a host of other large and smaller companies. These companies supply hardware, reagents, substrates, and associated components.
The Haber Gold Process (HGP) is a chemical system discovered by Norman Haber, the Chairman of the Company, for the hydrometallurgical extraction of gold from its ores, concentrates, and industrial coatings and materials. There are several important distinguishing features from the conventional method, which is primarily cyanide extraction. These distinguishing features include specific action upon gold, independent of other metal elements present such as silver, zinc, or copper. The process also is an environmentally safe and non–toxic way of extracting liquid, provides superior extraction efficiency with greater speed, and is useful with ores that are refractory with other methods.
The chemical market for hydrometallurgical lixiviants for gold and silver mining is a component of the heavy chemical industry. Cyanide production, which is the near universal chemical system used, was expanded in the mid–1980's by DuPont, reportedly by some $600 million for North America and Mexico. An additional $200 million expansion was cited for Australia's gold mining. Other companies, including Imperial Chemical Industries and Metalgeselshalt, represent the chemical market against which the Haber Gold process would contend. The environmental advantage of the HGP over cyanide use remains strategically significant.
The current estimated market for the aforementioned technologies in instrumentation is $5 billion. The market segment growth was recently estimated to be 8%–14% per year. The biotech, pharmaceutical, and industrial chemical markets are key areas of need. The company markets its product and technologies through participation in trade shows and has already become well known in the gold mining industry.
A U.S. patent covering EMP technology was granted to Norman Haber in 1976 and an extension of that patent was granted to Mr. Haber in 1979. The patents would have expired in April of 1993. However, recent changes in U.S. patents added three more years until 1996. The original patents covering the EMP technology, which were granted to Mr. Haber in 16 foreign countries and assigned to the Company, expired in 1996.
The Company is in a position for prioritizing its advanced EMP and extraction technologies. It is engaged in investigative research which would enable the filing of additional patent applications relating to specific biotech aspects of the EMP technology with the U.S. Patent Office.
In addition to patent protection filed or intended to be filed, the Company expects to rely on a material extent on selected un–patented proprietary know–how with respect to its various technologies. However, there can be no assurances that others will not independently develop such know–how or otherwise obtain access to the Company's know–how despite the Company's efforts to maintain its confidentiality, which includes obtaining secrecy agreements from its employees.
In 2002, the Company retained two employees and one independent consultant. The two full time employees are Mr. Norman Haber, and Ms. Vania Glazer. Mr. Haber is Chairman and President of Haber, Inc. He is responsible for the day–to–day management of the Company as well as the Company's strategy and long–term planning. Ms. Glazer is Mr. Haber's executive assistant. The full time consultant to the Company is Henry E. Rosenberg, PhD who assists Mr. Haber in developing the Company's technologies.
The Company is not required to have any of its products approved by the FDA. The Company has not sought approval from the FDA for any of its products. The company is not subject to any FDA regulations.
If Haber, Inc. markets its EMP instruments for use in clinical applications, blood analyzers and other medical devices, it will be subject to regulation by the Bureau of Medical Devices of the United States Food and Drug Administration.
A principal feature of such regulation is that, if the devices should be deemed not to be substantially equivalent to those already on the market, they could not be used until specifically approved by the Bureau of Medical Devices. The Company did not consider to seek approval or to seek a determination whether any such devices will require such approval or that seeking such approvals would not present a major obstacle. The process of obtaining approval, or a determination that approval is not required, could cause material delay in the introduction of any of these products. However, it is not anticipated that this would necessarily occur.
ITEM 2
The Company maintains general office facilities at 1009 Avenue C, Ste. 6, Bayonne, New Jersey. The Company also leases facilities at 2262 North Federal Highway, Fort Pierce, Florida. This site has a total of approximately 3,000 square feet of space and includes a laboratory, a prototype machine shop, and a small area for pre–piloting processing. These facilities house the equipment necessary for the Company to conduct its research and development activities for the foreseeable future.
The lease on the Florida facility described above was for a primary term of one year, from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001. Haber, Inc. exercised its lease contract option to extend the lease for the annual periods ending June 30, 2002 and 2003. The monthly lease expense is $1,750 per month plus utilities and sales and rent taxes totaling $113.75. There are no contracted lease obligations for periods after June 30, 2003 and the rental of the facility is expected to be on a month–to–month basis.
The prototype machine shop is used to expedite the design and production of EMP components and all models, for the practical use of EMP. Pre–piloting refers to the first scale up stage from lab bench quantities to evaluate a process in larger quantities
ITEM 3
In a previous year, the Company was in contention with the Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") in New Jersey and appeared informally before the court and with a legal representative of the DEP to try to determine a settlement penalty with the Company for having neglected two filings of septic sampling and analysis not timely reported in 1990. In order to maintain its approval to operate a laboratory, it was necessary for the Company to file septic sampling and analysis reports
In September 1993, the Company settled this penalty for $22,500 to be paid in four semi–annual installments of $5,000 and one final semi–annual installment of $2,500 plus interest at 5.5% beginning October 1993. The settlement with the New Jersey DEP was paid in full in January of 2000
The company no longer uses a septic system at either of its facilities and is no longer subject to filing septic sampling and analysis reports
In September of 2000, the Company received a subpoena for documents and for the testimony of its Chairman, Norman Haber, from the Securities & Exchange Commission, regarding an investigation of Orex Gold Mines, a public company located in Florida. The Company had entered into a written agreement with Orex Gold Mine for the sale of a non–exclusive license of the Haber Gold Process. With the assistance of corporate counsel, the subpoenas were fully complied with. The Company does not believe that the investigation will have a material adverse effect upon the Company.
There are no other pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of their property is subject.
ITEM 4
There were no matters of substantial consequence that required shareholder approval.

ITEM 7
Results of Operations
The Company controls the proprietary operational features and key science insights for the technology called ElectroMolecular Propulsion ("EMP"), which it believes has broad application in the chemical, biomedical and electronic fields. EMP is a fundamental electrokinetic technology invented and developed by Norman Haber. The term electrokinetics as it refers to molecular science, deals with the movement of molecules in an electrical field. ElectroMolecular Propulsion refers to a unique process to induce high–speed movement of molecules in a DC electric field. Ordinarily, molecular movements are based on ionic principles. EMP does not appear to be ionic in principle and theory, and falls outside the conventional framework. This also helps explain other unusual features of EMP, such as the ability to function with non–polar molecules such as aromatic hydrocarbons. Another seeming anomaly is that the electrical current levels in EMP are extremely low. Nevertheless, the movement rates of molecules are observed to be extremely fast. There are other features of EMP that appear to distinguish it from known paradigmatic operations. EMP has a range of applications in chemical analytical instrumentation extraction, purification, control of chemical reactions, electronic imaging, and other electronic uses.
To date, the Company remains the sole world source for the electrokinetic technology, EMP.
More than 100 application protocols have been completed for use with the EMP instrument for use with dyes, proteins, enzymes, biologicals, etc. Such pre–figured protocols are an important user–friendly feature for the use of the EMP. Commercializing the EMP–15K instrument and other such solvent media is proprietary and is essential to functionalize the applications of EMP. Fourteen specific solvent media have been developed for use with a wide variety of dyes essential for use in microscopic examinations of specimens in pathological procedures and in other niche markets. The user is able to program the instrument for their particular application – chemistry, analysis, and quality control. The niche markets include quality control and purity testing for the dye industry, and various specialty markets such as food colors, biostains, textiles, carpeting, cosmetics, inks, etc. Other applications include analytical proteomics, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, biologicals, a nd fine chemicals, forensics, biomedical research, and military field use. Protocols are analogous to the programming of the EMP for a particular use.
The only product that the Company currently produces is the EMP–15K instrument. The services that the Company can now provide are the licensed sale of its technologies.
A new study of fifty–eight commonly used biostain dyes for use in microscopy was completed using high resolution EMP analysis. The Biostain Commission supplied multiple "certified" samples of each biostain dye for this study.
The results have been organized for a research paper to be submitted for publication in a medical–science journal. Many of the dyes examined were found to be substantially contaminated. These results indicate a need to consider this kind of analysis for biostain dyes prior to their use for examining biopsy and surgical specimens.
Laboratory personnel are loath to be diverted away from their primary and customary attentions. Nevertheless, the convenience and very high speed of the analysis (10 seconds to a few minutes) offers a simple means to spot check commercial biostains before their use in diagnostics or research. This could enhance reliability and reduce the risk of misdiagnosis.
A customized high voltage EMP drive unit that has been transistorized for creating a more versatile type of EMP instrument was adopted for use.
The Company will continue to effect reductions in its operating expenses while conforming to continuing operations with the limited amount of working capital available. This policy will continue until revenue from sales or adequate refinancing enables otherwise. The Company maintains an office in Bayonne, New Jersey and leases facilities for a laboratory in Fort Pierce, Florida.
The Company has continued its activities regarding the development of niche market applications for its EMP analytical instrumentation.
Application projects specific for biotechnology such as proteomics have been initiated. The Company also has undertaken steps toward the re–engineering of its EMP–15K instrument with the view of producing an upgraded digitalized and computer compatible instrument. The production of these units can be subcontracted through instrument manufacturers.
Product upgrade accessories for use with the EMP improve the capacity or utility of the EMP instruments for specific needs. One such upgrade is called the "capillary recovery " device, which can concentrate and collect one or more selected EMP separated chemical zones into the opening of the capillary. Another device is called a "molecular concentrator".This accessory can concentrate a diffuse zone by a factor of several thousand times.
A new computer program was specifically developed for digital control of the custom miniaturized EMP power supply. A programmed electronic control board also was engineered as an interface. The control board protects the operator from accidental misuse and enables either analog or digital computer control of the EMP system.
Dr. Henry Rosenberg (Ph.D. in Chemistry) remains a full–time non–employee consultant with the Company and has become conversant with both the EMP technology and the proprietary "Haber Gold Process". Dr. Rosenberg also has had extensive sales and marketing experience with scientific instrumentation and advises the Company regarding marketing the EMP instrumentation.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses totaled $378,188 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, an increase of $55,181 from May 31, 2001. General and administrative expenses totaled $323,007 and $1,037,907 for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenditures for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 totaled $69,940. There were no research and development expenditures by the Company for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. Such expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 were $1,542.
Other Income and Expense
There was no other income and expense in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002.
Other income and expense for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001 amounted to a net income of $120,904, primarily the result of the sale of New Jersey tax loss carryforwards. Other income and expense for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 was $60,991.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Registrant's liquidity and working capital summarized in the following table, for the years ended May 31, 2002 and May 31, 2001.
May 31, 2002 | May 31, 2001 | |
---|---|---|
Cash and Temporary Investments | $ 766 | $10,080 |
Working Capital | $(124,030) | (28,293) |
Working Capital Ratio | N/A | (2.5:1) |
The Registrant's deficit working capital and liquidity position at May 31, 2002 must be supplemented in order to meet the demands upon its current operations and research and development, and the need for additional funds to finance development and commercialization of projects built around the Registrant':s technologies. Those demands on working capital are primarily the fixed costs of the Company, such as office rent, salaries and utility expenses. The Registrant will continue to seek additional funding through equity financing, sales of state tax losses, and through non–interest bearing loans from a shareholder. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain its financial needs.
During the year ended May 31, 2002, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock for $33,920 in cash.
There can be no assurance that the Company will have success in any of its financing efforts. For the Company's May 31, 2002 audited financial statements, the independent auditors have raised a "going concern" issue. This means that there is an uncertainty whether the company will be able to continue its developmental operations in the ordinary course of business.
ITEM 7 A
The Company does not engage in, nor does it have any derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. Other financial instruments that the Company owns, or is liable for, includes only immaterial other assets, accrued payables, and non–interest–bearing receivables and payables between the Company and related parties (described elsewhere). None of these instruments are at risk for, or bear any exposure to any category of relevant market risks.
ITEM 8
See Index to Financial Statements, Financial Statement Schedules and Exhibits in Item 14.
ITEM 9
In August 2002, the Company dismissed its former independent auditor, Gerald Brignola, CPA, P.A. and hired Staples, Larkin & Associates, LLP, Certified Public Accountants
In the previous two years, the reports of the independent auditor on the Company's financial statements each included an explanatory paragraph regarding the uncertainty as to whether or not Haber, Inc. would be able to continue as a going concern. There were no other modifications to the independent auditors' reports for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, have also modified their report on the Haber, Inc. financial statement to include an explanatory going concern paragraph.
The Company's Chairman/CEO/President, who is also a director for Haber, Inc., approved the change in independent auditors
The Company had no disagreements with the former independent auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosures, or auditing scopes or procedures.
ITEM 10
The Executive Officer and Directors of the Company are as follows:

ITEM 11
The following table sets forth the total cash compensation paid by the Company during the fiscal year May 31, 2002 and 2001 and 2000 to the executive officers and to all executive officers as a group:
Name | Capacities in Which Served | Cash Compensation | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
2002 | 2001 | 2000 | ||
Norman Haber | Chairman, President, CEO & Director | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
All executive officers as a group (one person) | –0– | –0– | –0– |
In 1985, the Company tentatively set an annual salary for Mr. Haber at $86,000. Since 1989, Mr. Haber has received no cash compensation from the Company because the Company is unable to make the payments. It is anticipated that Mr. Haber will receive compensation in future years, which may also include a portion of arrearages. If the accumulated arrearages were recorded in the financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2002, there would be an additional loss of $1,118,000 and this would also increase liabilities, reduce Stockholders' Equity and increase loss per share.
The Company had no situations in existence such as described in Regulation S–K, Item 402(j)
Compensation of Directors
Directors of the Company receive no cash compensation in connection with their services as directors. The Chief Executive Officer, also a director, received net Company expense reimbursement of $2,938 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002.
See Item 5 for a description of non–cash compensation paid to directors during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002.
Stock Options
The Company maintains a 1985 Officer's Stock Option Plan (the "Officers'Plan"). The Officer's Plan provides that options to purchase the Company's Common Stock may be awarded to officers of the Company by a Committee comprised of at least three directors who are not eligible under the Officers Plan.
Options granted under the Officers' Plan are non–incentive options and stock appreciation rights may be provided at any time until the options are exercised, terminated or cancelled. The exercise price of the options can be fixed by the Committee administering the Officer's Plan at any amount, which is not less than the par value of the shares subject to option. An optionee may pay the exercise price of the options in cash or with the Company's stock or with other property.
All options under the Officer's Plan will become exercisable as determined by the committee administering the Plan, and the committee may at any time accelerate the time at which an option may be exercised. All options will be non–transferable except by the laws of descent and distribution and, generally, will be exercisable by the optionee only during the time he is employed by the Company or within three months thereafter.
No options were outstanding, granted or exercised during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002

ITEM 13
It is also anticipated that, as incentives to retain management, the Company's officers may be offered the opportunity to participate in the equity of future ventures in which the Company may become involved.
The Company had no individual or series of similar transactions that exceed $60,000.00 in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, and are reportable pursuant to Regulation S–K, Item 404.
In the early 1990's, Norman Haber and members of his family loaned money to the Company. Some of these loan transactions were reimbursed by the issuance of common stock to Mr. Haber and his family members. The issuance of common stock was subsequently rescinded because documentation as to specificity of ownership could not be provided.
Startec Media, a Florida Company, made representations to Haber, Inc. as early as 1997, regarding a deal with Orex Gold Mines, another Florida Company. Startec Media was arranging for the sale of a gold license from Haber to Orex. Startec was also to perform public/financial relations with a view towards increasing Orex's stock price. Haber already had an equity share of Orex. As part of the transaction, Startec media required large up–front fees, which the Company could not pay. Instead, the Company decided to pay fees to Startec by issuing common stock. This was viewed by the Chairman of Haber, Inc. as an excellent business opportunity
Startec Media never performed any of the public/financial relations services as the Orex deal eventually collapsed.
Haber did sell a non–exclusive license for the Haber Gold Process to Orex. In return, Orex was to issue its common stock to the Company. Haber did in fact receive a Certificate for 600,000 shares of Orex, which contained a restrictive legend. The Company (Haber, Inc.) returned the certificate and requested that Orex re–issue the certificate without the restrictive legend. Pursuant to Rule 144, the Company believed that all of the criteria had been met, including the holding period, for the Company to receive free–trading stock. Orex never issued another certificate for the common stock to the Company.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Haber, Inc., a development stage enterprise, as of May 31, 2002 and the related statements of income, Stockholders' Deficit , and cash flows for the year then ended, and for the period from inception to May 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Haber, Inc. as of May 31, 2001 and 2000 respectively, and for the period from inception to May 31, 2001, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated June 20, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements, with an explanatory paragraph expressing going concern uncertainties, before a restatement described in Note 2(j.) to reclassify a due to related party balance from a current liability to non–current liability reporting.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Haber, Inc. at May 31, 2002 and the results of its operations for the year then ended and for the period from inception through May 31, 2002, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also audited the reclassification described in Note 2(j.) that was applied to restate the 2001 financial statements. In our opinion, such reclassification is appropriate and has been properly applied.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Haber, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that indicates the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
1) The Company
The Company was founded in 1967 as Haber Instruments, Inc., a New York corporation. On April 1, 1980, Haber Instruments, Inc. was acquired through a migratory merger by Haber, Inc. (the "Company"), which had been incorporated in Delaware in October 1979. The only effect of the merger was a change in the state of incorporation and a change in name. The Company has relocated its corporate office from Towaco, New Jersey to Fort Pierce, Florida as of May 3, 2000.
Haber, Inc. has developed advanced chemical and electrochemical process technologies for separations, extractions, and purifications. The Company spends varying amounts annually on research and development to further improve the technologies and product previously developed and described later. The Company is also now focusing on commercializing these technologies through joint ventures or license agreements.
The only product that the Company provides is the EMP–15K. The primary business of the company is to develop and market future sales of its technologies, and the Haber Gold Process. The Company also seeks licenses, joint ventures, or other arrangements with large industrial partners. These arrangements include the sales or grants of uses of its technology in exchange for cash payments, as well as a percentage of the business, such as net smelter return.
The supply sources for supplies and raw materials used in the manufacture of the EMP–15K are not confined to any specific location or company, but are universally available.
EMP, an acronym for ElectroMolecular Propulsion, is an electrochemical process, which enables the movement or positioning of a variety of different molecules. It operates in a manner analogous to other known technologies, such as electrophoresis and Chromatography. EMP is distinguished from other known techniques by the mechanisms involved, the scope of applicability, and the great speed and control of the results.
The Haber Gold Process (HGP) is a chemical system discovered by Norman Haber, the Chairman of the Company, for the hydrometallurgical extraction of gold from its ores, concentrates, and industrial coatings and materials.
2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Equivalents: The Company considers time deposit accounts maturing in three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Loans Receivable and Due From Related Parties: Both are carried as Other Assets in the balance sheet of May 31, 2002, at estimated fair value, net of estimated uncollectible amounts, if any. Neither balance is interest earning, and there are no fixed repayment terms.
Inventory: Inventory consists of supplies of parts and partially completed units and is valued at the lower of cost (specifically identified) or market. Inventory at May 31, 2002, consists of the following: supplies ($20,112) and work–in–process ($39,000).
Furniture and Equipment: Furniture and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight–line method over periods of five to seven years, which corresponds to the useful lives of the assets.
Patents and Licenses: Represents accumulated legal costs capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives of 17 years, commencing with the date of issuance of the related patents. As of May 31, 1999, all patents and licenses had expired and the related costs were fully amortized
Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents have been included in the earnings–per–share computation because of their anti–dilutive effect.
Research and Development Costs: The Company charges research and development costs not incurred in conjunction with contractual obligations to expense as incurred. Research and development costs for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 were $69,940, compared to $–0– and $1,542 in fiscal years ended May 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsidiaries: The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries on the equity method. All inter–company transactions are eliminated. Losses beyond the initial investment are not recognized if it is not the Company's obligation to fund such losses. As of May 31, 2002, the Company did not have any investments in subsidiaries.
Reclassifications: Certain items in prior year financial statements presented have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. A balance described as Due to Related Parties and reported as a current liability in previous financial statements has been reclassified to be more properly reported as a non–current liability.
3) Going Concern Conditions
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for a period of at least one year from the current financial statement balance sheet date of May 31, 2002.
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and a has a net capital deficiency that indicates the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.
Haber, Inc. makes use of equity financing to fund operations including research and development activities. The ability to continue is dependent upon being able to obtain working capital until it can achieve positive cash flow from operations. Also, it is management's intention to minimize general operating costs until such time operating revenue can be achieved at a level sufficient to fund its operations.
There can be no certainty that the company will be successful in these financing efforts.

Joint Venture | 271 | 271 | |
Total due to related parties | $ 268,434 | $ 201,854 | |
Due from Related Parties
During the fiscal year, in the ordinary course of business, the Company's Chairman personally paid certain development stage expenses for the Company and he was reimbursed for substantially all of these payments, resulting in a decrease from $10,459 to $7,521 of a previous advance to the Chairman. The advance balance is not interest earning.
Due to Related Parties
Because the company is in the development stage, Haber, Inc. received additional advances in the total amount of $70,500 from a shareholder to pay on–going expenses. The Company repaid $3,920 of a previous advance from another shareholder. These transactions resulted in the increase of payables due to shareholders as presented in the table above. After May 31, 2002, and before the issuance of this financial statement, the Company repaid $55,000 of the advances owed to related parties.
The amounts due to shareholders, a corporate officer, director and the joint venture are carried at fair value, have no fixed terms of repayment and bear no interest. No Company assets are pledged to secure their repayment and there are no restrictive covenants on assets.
b. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999, the Company's Chairman authorized the issuance of 1,990,332 shares of Haber, Inc. common stock to himself and various members of his family, for repayment of loans purportedly made to Haber, Inc., dating back to 1992. These individuals were not able to substantiate the loans and therefore agreed to rescind the entire transaction. All shares were returned to the transfer agent on December 31, 1999, to be cancelled of record.
Over the course of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, the Directors of the Company authorized the issuance of common stock to all directors in lieu of cash payment of directors' fees as follows:

Director | Number of Warrants Issued |
Warrant Exercise Price per Common Share |

---|---|---|---|---|
Chairman/CEO Norman Haber | 250,000 | $0.02 | $4,375 | |
Director Paul Buiar | 250,000 | $0.02 | $4,375 | |
Total | 500,000 | $0.02 | $8,750 | |
5) Income Taxes Federal
As of May 31, 2002, the Company has federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for income tax purposes of $11,872,126. If not offset against taxable income, the operating loss carryforward will expire as follows:
NOL Expires Year End May 31 | Net Operating Loss Carryforward | |
---|---|---|
2003 | $2,414,382 | |
2004 | 2,267,089 | |
2005 | 982,263 | |
2006 | 776,330 | |
2007 | 527,466 | |
2008 | 327,661 | |
2009 | 300,091 | |
2010 | 401,483 | |
2011 | 359,728 | |
2012 | 301,344 | |
2013 | 337,220 | |
2019 | 1,278,148 | |
2020 | 960,458 | |
2021 | 192,583 | |
2022 | 445,880 | |
$11,872,126 | ||
The net operating loss carryforwards from May 31, 2001 were decreased for the effects of a prior operating period adjustment (described elsewhere in the footnotes) recorded in fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 as follows: expiring 2007 ($3,500 decrease); expiring 2008 ($21,000 decrease); expiring 2019 ($1,588 decrease); and expiring 2020 ($18,000 decrease). There was $4,800 of the prior period adjustment that related to the net operating carryforward expiring in fiscal year ended May 31, 2002. Total of the prior period adjustment was to decrease stockholders' retained earnings deficit by $48,888.
Haber, Inc. does not expect to utilize these carryforwards. Based on a 34% federal tax rate, the Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $4,036,523 and $4,491,800 at May 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively, which were fully offset by valuation allowances.
Income Tax – New Jersey
As of May 31, 2002, Haber, Inc. had New Jersey state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for income tax purposes of $1,606,369. This amount includes state tax losses for the year ended May 31, 2000 ($973,719), and May 31, 2001 ($187,260) that were sold in December 2002 under a program described later, with the Company receiving $78,357.75 from their sale. The Company recognizes the sale of tax losses in the year the sale is finalized and the resulting funds are received, net of intermediary commission, from the buyer. The remaining New Jersey tax losses available for sale or carryforward expire as follows:
NOL Expires Year Ended May 31 |
Net Operating Loss Carryforward |
|
---|---|---|
2009 | $445,390 |
New Jersey state income tax losses and research and development credits of companies engaged in the field of biotechnology research may be sold through the state's Technology Business Tax Certificate Program. Haber, Inc. has sold New Jersey state tax assets for all tax periods beginning in at least fiscal year 1993. The sales of certain year's tax assets remain subject to change because the underlying Company income tax returns remain subject to audit by the state for four years from the filing date of the respective returns. This means that the Company's state corporation income tax returns for the years ended May 31, 1999 though May 31, 2001 remain subject to change from a possible audit, which change could result in an increase or decrease of the state tax loss previously sold. The Company does not expect any material amounts to be due as a result of possible state tax return audits.
The Corporation had not, at this time, filed an application to sell its New Jersey tax losses for the tax year ended May 31, 2002, but it does expect to do so.

Stock issued in payment of services and liabilities.
The company at times will issue common stock as payment for services and liabilities. Below is a summary of such activity.
Description | Number of Commons Shares |
Total Value |
---|---|---|
Fiscal year–end May, 31 2000 | ||
Shares issued for services | 6,180,000 | $690,627 |
Shares issued for liabilities | 140,000 | 7,914 |
Fiscal year–May 31, 2001 shares issued for services | 102,015 | 69,200 |
Fiscal year–May 31, 2002 shares issued for services | 8,464,763 | $275,389 |
The valuation method of the above transactions were based on the average market value per share for unrestricted stock issued, and a reduction factor of 75% of market value for fiscal 1998 issuances and 15% of market value for fiscal 2000, 2001, and 2002 for restricted stock issued.
There was no stock issued for employee compensation during these periods other than that issued in lieu of cash payments to directors for director services provided. See a complete explanation of this activity under Footnote 4 – Related Party Activities.
Reduction factors of a restricted stock were and are due to the lack of marketability for the Company's stock that has temporary restrictions.
10) Prior Period Adjustment
At May 31, 2002, the company recorded a prior period adjustment to stockholders' deficit, decreasing the deficit by the amount of $48,888. This adjustment recognized that the Company's inventory had been understated in (a) prior year(s) by $47,300 and that payroll taxes payable had been overstated in (a) prior year(s) by $1,588. The effect of the errors was to decrease the operating loss of the year or years effected. There was no material Federal or State income tax effect.
11) Leases
The Company leases facilities at 2262 North Federal Highway, Fort Pierce, Florida. This site has a total of approximately 3,000 square feet of space and includes a laboratory, a prototype machine shop, and a small area for pre–piloting processing. These facilities house the equipment necessary for the Company to conduct its research and development activities for the foreseeable future.
The lease on the Florida facility described above was for a primary term of one year, from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001. Haber, Inc. exercised its lease contract option to extend the lease for the annual periods ending June 30, 2002 and 2003. The monthly lease expense is $1,750 per month plus utilities, sales and rent taxes totaling $113.75.
Rental expense in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 was $31,000, with an approximate amount being expended for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001. The expense includes cash payments and Haber, Inc. common stock issued in lieu of cash payments.
12) Commitments and Contingencies
a. In a prior year, Orex Gold Mines, Inc. issued 600,000 shares of restricted common shares to Haber, Inc., in return for a non–exclusive license. Haber, Inc. contends that the shares should have been unrestricted and returned all shares to Orex Gold Mines, Inc., requesting that the shares be reissued without a restrictive legend. To date, Orex Gold Mines, Inc. has not reissued the shares to Haber, Inc.
b. The company rents office space and equipment on a month–to–month basis. This rental is not covered by a written agreement. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, Haber, Inc. issued 280,000 shares of its own stock with a fair market value of $8,350 in lieu of cash payments for this rental.
