NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011
 (Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Organization and Description of Business

PhytoMedical Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 25, 2001. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries PhytoMedical Technologies Corporation (“PhytoMedical Corp.”), and PolyPhenol Technologies Corporation (“PolyPhenol”).

PhytoMedical Corp. was incorporated on March 10, 2004 in the State of Nevada and has no assets or liabilities.

PolyPhenol was incorporated on August 24, 2004 in the State of Nevada and has no assets or liabilities.

Since its incorporation, the Company focused its efforts on the development of new technologies (in particular pharmaceutical technologies and products) and, where warranted, the acquisition of rights to obtain licenses to technologies and products that are being developed by third parties, primarily universities and government agencies, through sponsored research and development agreements.

In June 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it was in its shareholders best interest to refocus its business activities in a manner which may more fully enhance shareholder value. As a result, on August 25, 2010, the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Intent (the “MOI”) with Standard Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation engaged in the exploration of precious metals in the western United States on properties that may contain economic concentrations of mineralization (“SGC”), relating to continuing discussions and the negotiation of a definitive agreement regarding its possible acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of SGC.

Pursuant to the MOI, the Company loaned SGC $30,000 (the “SGC Loan”) so that it could maintain its mineral claims, in good standing, pending on-going negotiations.  The SGC Loan bore interest at an annual rate of 8.5%.  Both the principal and the accrued interest on the SGC Loan were repaid in January 2011.

On October 22, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with SGC and its shareholders, pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of SGC in exchange for 607,539,940 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “SGC Acquisition”).  However, each of the parties to the Share Exchange Agreement, no longer believing that the conditions to closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement could be satisfied, entered into the Termination Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Termination Agreement”), dated as of December 24, 2010. 

In anticipation that the Company would consummate the SGC Acquisition and pursue the exploration and development of the mineral claims held by SGC, it did not pay the $20,000 license maintenance fee that was due on September 1, 2010, to the Trustees of Dartmouth College (the “Dartmouth Trustees”). The Company had an exclusive license, granted pursuant to a license agreement dated September 1, 2008 (the “Dartmouth License Agreement”), between the Company and the Dartmouth Trustees, to develop, market and distribute a novel class of synthesized compounds known as bis-intercalators. Further development of the IV formulation for D11B was ceased in anticipation of the SGC Acquisition.

The Company is undertaking efforts to identify new commercial opportunities. The Company does not expect to generate any revenues for the foreseeable future and expects to continue to incur losses. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit opinion as of December 31, 2010, which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 2.  Going Concern Uncertainties

The Company has not generated any revenues, has an accumulated deficit of $24,289,061 as of June 30, 2011, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business.

The Company has expended a significant amount of cash in developing its technology and expects to incur additional losses as it continues to develop its technologies.  To date, the Company’s cash flow requirements have primarily been met by proceeds of $400,000 received pursuant to the 2010 Offering (as that term is defined in “Note 11. 2010 Offering” below), the issuance of convertible notes payable to stockholders, and net proceeds of $3,109,500 received pursuant to a private placement completed in September 2007. Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary.

The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investments in order to support existing operations and expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all.  Furthermore, there is no assurance that the net proceeds received from any successful financing arrangement will be sufficient to cover cash requirements during the initial stages of the Company’s operations.  If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 3.  Presentation of Interim Information

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011 or any other interim period.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Note 4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.   On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates.  Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
 
 
8

 
 
Stock-Based Compensation
  
The Company measures all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the date of grant and recognizes such expense in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant.  The Black-Scholes pricing model requires management to make assumptions regarding the warrant and option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates.

Fair Value
 
The Company measures fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company utilizes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
 
Level 1.  Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  The Company has no assets or liabilities valued with Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2.  Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  The Company has no assets or liabilities valued with Level 2 inputs. 
 
Level 3.  Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Liabilities valued with Level 3 inputs are described below in “Note 10.  Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable” and “Note 12. Warrants.”

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Due to the unique nature of the terms of the Sidhu Convertible Note, Convertible Note Payable, and Rayat Convertible Note, it is not practicable to determine their fair value at June 30, 2011. Please refer to “Note 10.  Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable” below.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, interest payable, and accrued payroll liabilities, approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and their liquidity.  Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued.  Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, it has not identified any standards that it believes merit further discussion.  The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5.  Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a net loss. Therefore, the issuance of shares of common stock from the exercise of stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.  There are no stock options outstanding at June 30, 2011.  Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, because their effect would be anti-dilutive, are warrants to acquire 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.03 per share and convertible notes payable and accrued interest to acquire 128,930,200 shares of common stock with a conversion price of $0.01 per share.  See “Note 10. Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable” below.

Excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010 because their effect would be anti-dilutive, are stock options and warrants to acquire 20,200,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.03 per share.

Excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 because their effect would be anti-dilutive, are stock options to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.04 per share.

For purposes of earnings per share computations, shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of a reporting period are included as outstanding.

Note 6.  Dartmouth Sponsored Research Agreement

On May 25, 2007, the Company entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth College (“Dartmouth”), in the area of cancer research, specifically furthering research and development of anti-tumor bis-acridines. The Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth was amended on October 1, 2008, extending it to September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, Dartmouth had concluded their research and development and provided the Company with a key anti-cancer compound for glioblastoma.  The Company entered into a fee-for-services agreement with Latitude Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to develop an intravenous (“IV”) formulation for its lead anti-cancer compound for glioblastoma. Further development of the IV formulation for D11B was ceased in anticipation of the SGC Acquisition.
 
 
10

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has paid $220,260 pursuant to the Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth and $10,017 for reimbursement of expenses. Of the total $230,277 paid to Dartmouth, $3,800 is included in research and development expense for both of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010. The Company did not record any research and development expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Note 7.  Dartmouth License Agreement

On September 1, 2008, the Company entered into the Dartmouth License Agreement pursuant to which the Company obtained the rights to develop, market and distribute a novel class of synthesized compounds known as bis-intercalators.  These anti-cancer agents, which have a ‘cytotoxic’ or poisonous affinity for cancer cells, are designed to bind tightly to cancer cell DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the blueprint of life for the cancer cell.

Under the terms of the Dartmouth License Agreement, the Company was obligated to pay annual license maintenance fees to the Dartmouth Trustees, in addition to an upfront payment of $15,000 within 30 days of execution of the agreement, with such payment already having been made.  Additionally, the Company was required to make milestone payments to the Dartmouth Trustees if, and only when, specific clinical and regulatory approval milestones were achieved.

In anticipation that the Company would consummate the SGC Acquisition and pursue the exploration and development of the mineral claims held by SGC, it did not pay the $20,000 license maintenance fee that was due on September 1, 2010 pursuant to Section 5.01(e) of the Dartmouth License Agreement. Pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Dartmouth License Agreement, the Dartmouth Trustees provided the Company notice that it terminated the Dartmouth License Agreement for a breach under Section 5.01(e).  As a result of the Company’s intention to terminate the Dartmouth License Agreement, it recorded an impairment charge of $15,000 at September 30, 2010, to write-off the previously paid license fee.

Note 8. Note Receivable

On August 25, 2010, the Company entered into the non-binding MOI with SGC, relating to the continuing discussions and the negotiation of a definitive agreement regarding its possible acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of SGC.  Pursuant to the MOI, the Company funded the SGC Loan in the amount of $30,000 so that SGC could maintain its mineral claims, in good standing, pending on-going negotiations.  The SGC Loan bore interest at an annual rate of 8.5%.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded interest income of $780 related to the SGC Loan. Both the principal and the accrued interest on the SGC Loan were repaid in January 2011.

Note 9.  Accrued Payroll Liabilities

On March 15, 2010, Mr. Greg Wujek tendered his resignation as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).  On June 17, 2010, Mr. Wujek tendered his resignation as one of the Company’s directors. As of his resignation date as the Company’s President and CEO, the Company owed Mr. Wujek $30,277 for salary and related payroll taxes earned, but not paid.  The Company intends to repay Mr. Wujek in full when it has the capital resources to do so. Mr. Wujek has not made any demand for payment.

Note 10.  Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable
 
 
Convertible Notes Payable – Current

Sidhu Convertible Note

On May 20, 2011, the Company issued a one year convertible promissory note in the amount of $100,000 to Mr. Jeet Sidhu (the “Sidhu Convertible Note”), one of the Company’s non-employee directors.  The Sidhu Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum, which interest is accrued and payable on the maturity date of the Sidhu Convertible Note.  As long as the Sidhu Convertible Note remains outstanding and not fully paid, the holder has the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Sidhu Convertible Note, together with all or any portion of the accrued and unpaid interest into that number of shares, subject to certain terms and conditions, of the Company’s common stock equal to the amount of the converted indebtedness divided by $0.01 per share. In the event of default, as defined in the Sidhu Convertible Note agreement, the annual interest rate increases to 10% and is due on demand. Certain events of default will result in all sums of principal and interest then remaining unpaid immediately due and payable, upon demand of the holder. The issuance of the Sidhu Convertible Note did not result in a beneficial conversion feature.
 
 
11

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense of $954 payable to Mr. Sidhu related to the Sidhu Convertible Note.  At June 30, 2011, accrued interest related to the Sidhu Convertible Note was $954.

Convertible Note Payable

On March 2, 2010, the Company issued a one year convertible promissory note in the amount of $40,000 to a non-affiliated third party.  The convertible note bore interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum, which interest was accrued and payable on the maturity date of the convertible promissory note.  As long as the convertible promissory note remained outstanding and not fully paid, the holder had the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the convertible promissory note, together with all or any portion of the accrued and unpaid interest into that number of shares, subject to certain terms and conditions, of the Company’s common stock equal to the amount of the converted indebtedness divided by $0.01 per share. In the event of default, as defined in the Convertible Promissory Note agreement, the annual interest rate increased to 10% and was due on demand. Certain events of default result in all sums of principal and interest then remaining unpaid immediately due and payable, upon demand of the holder. The Company did not repay the outstanding principal balance of the convertible note and the accrued interest thereon on March 1, 2011, the maturity date of the convertible note, triggering an event of default.  As a result, the Company began accruing interest on the principal balance at the annual default rate of 10%.  On May 23, 2011, the Company repaid to the note holder the principal balance of the Convertible Promissory Note and the related accrued interest of $4,300.

Since the book value of the convertible promissory note ($40,000) divided by the number of shares to which the debt could be converted (4,000,000 shares of common stock) was $0.01 per share, which was less than the fair value of the stock at the time the debt was issued ($0.03 per share), there was a beneficial conversion feature.  The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount against the convertible promissory note, which reduced the book value of the convertible promissory note to not less than zero.  The Company amortized the discount using the effective interest method over the one-year life of the convertible promissory note.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense of $581 and $1,469, respectively, payable to the holder of the convertible promissory note.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the convertible promissory note of $0 and $33,161, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded interest expense of $847 and $1,118, respectively, payable to the holder of the convertible promissory note.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the convertible promissory note of $186 and $199.

As of June 30, 2011, the discount on the convertible promissory note was fully amortized and the convertible promissory note and related accrued interest had been re-paid in full. At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the convertible promissory note was $6,839, net of unamortized discount of $33,161. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accrued interest related to the convertible promissory note was $0 and $2,832, respectively.

Notes Payable and Convertible Note Payable – Long Term
  
The Company had arranged with Mr. Harmel S. Rayat, its former Chief Financial Officer, Director, and majority shareholder of the Company, a loan amount up to $2,500,000 that may be drawn down on an “as needed basis” at a rate of prime plus 3%.  Effective September 15, 2008, Mr. Rayat and the Company terminated this loan agreement.  At December 31, 2009, the Company had an unsecured promissory note pursuant to this loan agreement in the amount of $750,000 payable to Mr. Rayat, which was due on March 8, 2006, and bore interest at an annual rate of 8.5%.

On March 1, 2010, Mr. Rayat agreed to convert the then outstanding balance of the note payable ($750,000) and accrued and unpaid interest ($317,527) thereon to a fixed three (3) year term convertible note, totaling $1,067,527 (the “Rayat Convertible Note”).  The Rayat Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum, which interest is accrued and payable on the maturity date of the Rayat Convertible Note.  As long as the Rayat Convertible Note remains outstanding and not fully paid, Mr. Rayat has the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Rayat Convertible Note, together with all or any portion of the accrued and unpaid interest into that number of shares, subject to certain terms and conditions, of the Company’s common stock equal to the amount of the converted indebtedness divided by $0.01 per share. In the event of default, as defined in the Convertible Promissory Note agreement, the annual interest rate increases to 10% and is due on demand. The Company may, in its discretion, redeem the Rayat Convertible Note at any time prior to the maturity date of the Rayat Convertible Note.  Certain events of default will result in all sums of principal and interest then remaining unpaid immediately due and payable, upon demand of Mr. Rayat.

Since the book value of the Rayat Convertible Note ($1,067,527) divided by the number of shares of common stock to which the debt can be converted (106,752,700) is $0.01 per share, which was less than the fair value of the stock at the time the debt was issued ($0.03 per share), there was a beneficial conversion feature.  The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount against the Rayat Convertible Note, which reduced the book value of the Rayat Convertible Note to not less than zero.  The Company amortizes the discount using the effective interest method over the three-year life of the Rayat Convertible Note.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense of $22,623 and $44,997, respectively, payable to Mr. Rayat related to the Rayat Convertible Note. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the convertible promissory note of $328 and $431, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded interest expense of $22,623 and $40,386, respectively, payable to Mr. Rayat related to the original $750,000 note payable and the Rayat Convertible Note.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the Rayat Convertible Note of $7 and $9, respectively.

At June 30, 2011, the carrying value of the Rayat Convertible Note was $477, net of unamortized discount of $1,067,050.  At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the Rayat Convertible Note was $46, net of unamortized discount of $1,067,481.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accrued interest related to the Rayat Convertible Note was $120,821 and $75,824, respectively.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

The MD&A is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Background

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 25, 2001. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries PhytoMedical Technologies Corporation (“PhytoMedical Corp.”), and PolyPhenol Technologies Corporation (“PolyPhenol”).

PhytoMedical Corp. was incorporated on March 10, 2004, in the State of Nevada and has no assets or liabilities.

PolyPhenol was incorporated on August 24, 2004, in the State of Nevada and has no assets or liabilities.

Since our incorporation we have focused our activities on the development of new technologies (in particular pharmaceutical technologies and products) and, where warranted, acquisition of rights to obtain licenses to technologies and products that are being developed by third parties, primarily universities and government agencies, through sponsored research and development agreements.

In June 2010, our Board of Directors determined that it was in our shareholders best interest to refocus our business in activities in a manner which may more fully enhance shareholder value.   As a result, on August 25, 2010, we entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Intent (the “MOI”) with Standard Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation a natural resource exploration company engaged in the exploration of precious metals in the western United States on properties that may contain economic concentrations of mineralization (“SGC”), relating to continuing discussions and the negotiation of a definitive agreement regarding our possible acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of SGC.

Pursuant to the MOI, we loaned SGC $30,000 (the “SGC Loan”) so that it could maintain its mineral claims, in good standing, pending on-going negotiations.  The SGC Loan bore interest at an annual rate of 8.5%.  Both the principal and the accrued interest on the SGC Loan were repaid in January 2011.

On October 22, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with SGC and its shareholders, pursuant to which we would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of SGC in exchange for 607,539,940 shares of our common stock (the “SGC Acquisition”).  However, each of the parties to the Share Exchange Agreement, no longer believing that the conditions to closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement in fact could be satisfied, entered into a Termination Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Termination Agreement”), dated as of December 24, 2010.

In anticipation that we would consummate the SGC Acquisition and pursue the exploration and development of the mineral claims held by SGC, we did not pay the $20,000 license maintenance fee that was due on September 1, 2010 to the Trustees of Dartmouth College (the “Dartmouth Trustees”). We had an exclusive license, granted pursuant to a license agreement dated September 1, 2008 (the “Dartmouth License Agreement”), between us and the Dartmouth Trustees, to develop, market and distribute a novel class of synthesized compounds known as bis-intercalators. Further development of the IV formulation for D11B was ceased in anticipation of the SGC Acquisition.

As a result of the termination of the Dartmouth License Agreement, we recorded an impairment charge of $15,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to write-off the previously paid license fee.

We are currently undertaking efforts to identify new commercial opportunities. We do not expect to generate any revenues for the foreseeable future and expect to continue to incur losses. Our independent registered public accountant has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

On June 3, 2010, in order to fill vacancies created by the resignations of Mr. Lynch and Mr. Branning, the Board of Directors appointed Messrs. Amit S. Dang and Jeet S. Sidhu to our Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors also approved the terms of an Interim Executive Services Agreement between us and Mr. Dang (the “Executive Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Dang was appointed our President and Chief Executive Officer.  On June 22, 2010, in order to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Krauss, the Board of Directors also appointed Mr. Dang to serve as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Secretary.  Mr. Dang received compensation of $5,000 per month through March 31, 2011. Effective April 1, 2011, Mr. Dang agreed to a curtailment in compensation to $2,500 per month during the remaining term of the Executive Services Agreement.  We may terminate the Executive Services Agreement at any time with or without cause. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred $7,500 and $22,500, respectively, pursuant to the Executive Services Agreement. During both of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, we incurred $5,000 pursuant to the Executive Services Agreement.

Until May 31, 2010, non-employee Board members received $250 per month for services rendered in the capacity of a Board member plus $100 per Board meeting attended.  The Board approved an increase, effective June 1, 2010, in non-employee Board fees to $750 per month. Effective April 1, 2011, non-employee board compensation was reduced to $250 per month.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $750 and $2,250, respectively, in non-employee director fees. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we also recorded a reversal of stock compensation of $458 for the forfeiture of stock options upon resignation by certain directors.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $3,000 and $3,950, respectively, in non-employee director fees. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized $6,000 in stock compensation (net of the reversal of stock compensation discussed in the preceding paragraph) for stock options previously granted to directors and vesting over time

Investor Relations and Marketing

Marketing and investor relations costs represent fees paid to publicize our technologies within the industry and investor community with the purpose of increasing company recognition. We utilize various third parties to manage our investor relations and facilitate our marketing programs, to increase company recognition and branding, and to provide shareholder communications.

The decrease in investor relations and marketing during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 is substantially due to $2,675 incurred in the prior year for the press release announcing that we signed a letter of intent with a leading Chinese research organization to conduct IND-enabling studies on our anti-cancer compound for glioblastoma, D11B that was developed under our previous Sponsored Research Agreement with Dartmouth.

The decrease in investor relations and marketing during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 is substantially due to $5,350 incurred for the press release described in the preceding paragraph and the announcement of the appointment of Dr. James Lynch as our President and Chief Executive Officer, effective March 15, 2010 (Dr. Lynch subsequently resigned as one of our Directors and from all executive officer positions, effective May 31, 2010).

Wages and Benefits

We did not incur any wages and benefits expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Please refer to “Director and management fees – related party” above for amounts paid to Mr. Dang, our consultant President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred $41,230 in wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Dr. Lynch and we recorded the reversal of stock compensation of $6,311 for the forfeiture of stock options when Dr. Lynch resigned as our President and from all executive officer positions, effective May 31, 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred $50,135 in wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Dr. Lynch and $50,997 in wages and benefits expense for services rendered by Mr. Greg Wujek, our former President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director.   Mr. Wujek resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer, effective March 15, 2010 and as one of our directors, effective June 17, 2010. Simultaneously with his resignation as our President and Chief Executive Officer, the employment agreement between us and Mr. Wujek was terminated and all of the 2,000,000 stock options previously granted to Mr. Wujek, none of which had vested, were forfeited upon his resignation and termination of employment.  Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a reversal of stock compensation expense previously recorded for the fair value of Mr. Wujek’s stock options of $2,667,500.  The six months ended June 30, 2010 also includes stock compensation of $6,311 for the amortization of the fair value of a stock option granted to Dr. Lynch to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.04 per share. The stock option granted to Dr. Lynch was subsequently forfeited upon him tendering his resignation, effective May 31, 2010. We recorded a reversal of stock compensation of $6,311 during the same six month period ending June 30, 2010 for a net $0 impact to the consolidated financial statements during this period.

Research and Development

Research and development expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 consists of payments made to a third party for the development of our D11B compound.

Professional Fees

Professional fees primarily consist of accounting fees, audit and tax fees, legal fees, and SEC related filing costs.

Professional fees decreased $32,787 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, substantially due to a decrease in legal fees of approximately $14,300. Legal fees during the prior year include fees related to the preparation and filing of our Form S-1, fees incurred as a result of changes in the composition of our executive team and Board of Directors, and services performed in connection with the receipt of $400,000 pursuant to the 2010 Offering. Also contributing to the decrease in professional fees are decreases in accounting and audit related fees of approximately $6,000 and a decrease in SEC filing costs of approximately $7,300. These fees were higher during the prior year due to the filing of our Form S-1 and related correspondence in addition to various Form 8-K’s.

Professional fees decreased $105,245 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, substantially due to a decrease in legal fees of approximately $68,200. Legal fees during the prior year include fees related to the preparation and filing of our Form S-1, fees incurred as a result of changes in the composition of our executive team and Board of Directors, execution of stock option agreements, and services performed in connection with the receipt of $400,000 pursuant to the 2010 Offering. Also contributing to the decrease in professional fees are decreases in accounting and audit related fees of approximately $17,500 and a decrease in SEC filing costs of approximately $14,100. These fees were higher during the prior year due to the filing of our Form S-1, fees incurred as a result of changes in the composition of our executive team and Board of Directors, including the filing of various Forms 8-K, and for services performed in connection with the receipt of $400,000 pursuant to the 2010 Offering and the MOI between us and Standard Gold Corp.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses include patent application fees, license related fees, travel and entertainment, rent, office supplies, printing and mailing, information technology related fees and other administrative costs.

Other operating expenses decreased $18,284 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, substantially due to decreases in patent filing fees of approximately $3,700 and travel related expenses of approximately $13,500. Significant travel related expenses were incurred in the prior year as a result of changes in the composition of our executive team and Board of Directors as well as the facilitation of the sale of Units pursuant to our 2010 Offering.

Other operating expenses decreased $24,220 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, substantially due to a reduction in printing and mailing costs of approximately $6,500, patent filing fees of approximately $4,300, and travel related expenses of approximately $13,600. During the prior year, we distributed an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whereby in January 2010, we informed our investors that certain of our stockholders, representing a majority of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, voted to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock issuable from 300,000,000 to 2,000,000,000. Offsetting these decreases in other operating expenses is an increase in rent expense of approximately $3,600 for additional office space leased by Mr. Dang in Southfield, Michigan.

Please refer to “Convertible Notes Payable – Current” and “Notes Payable and Convertible Note Payable – Long Term” below for the terms and conditions of the notes discusses in the preceding paragraphs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.  We have incurred cumulative losses of $24,289,061 through June 30, 2011, and do not have positive cash flows from operating activities.  Additionally, we have expended a significant amount of cash in developing our technology.  We face all the risks common to companies that are relatively new, including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties in managing growth. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Management recognizes that in order to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary.  We expect to raise additional funds through private or public equity investments in order to expand the range and scope of our business operations. We will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for us to finance our operations on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank.  At June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39,445. We have financed our operations primarily from $400,000 received pursuant to the 2010 Offering (see “2010 Offering” below), the issuance of convertible notes payable to stockholders (see “Convertible Notes Payable – Current” and “Notes Payable and Convertible Note Payable – Long Term” below), and net proceeds of $3,109,500 received pursuant to a private placement completed in September 2007.

Net cash used in operating activities was $95,106 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $245,564 for the same period in 2010.  The decrease of $150,458 in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to decreases in payments made for wages and benefits (see “Wages and Benefits” above) and professional fees (see “Professional Fees” above).

Net cash provided by investing activities was $30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0 for the same period in 2010.  On August 25, 2010, pursuant to the MOI with SGC, we loaned SGC $30,000 so that it could maintain its mineral claims, in good standing, pending on-going negotiations.  The SGC Loan bore interest at an annual rate of 8.5%.  Both the principal and the accrued interest on the SGC Loan were repaid in January 2011.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $440,000 for the same period in 2010.  Please refer to “2010 Offering”, “Convertible Notes Payable – Current”, and “Notes Payable and Convertible Note Payable – Long Term” below for details regarding the sources of cash provided by financing activities.

2010 Offering

On May 4, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the SEC, and we commenced our self directed public offering (the “2010 Offering”) in accordance with the Prospectus dated May 4, 2010 and included in the Registration Statement, of up to a maximum of 200,000,000 units (the “Units”) of our securities at a price of $0.01 per Unit.  Each Unit consists of:

·  
one (1) share of our common stock, $0.00001 par value per share; and,
·  
one-half of one Series B Warrant (collectively, the “Series B Warrants”).
 
 
20

 
 
Each full Series B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share, expiring two (2) years from the date of issuance of the Series B Warrants.

The 2010 Offering was a self directed public offering, without any involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers.  The 2010 Offering terminated on October 31, 2010.

As of the termination date of the 2010 Offering, we sold 40,000,000 Units (all on May 19, 2010) for gross receipts of $400,000 pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Offering.  Accordingly, we issued 40,000,000 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share to the investors having subscribed for the 40,000,000 Units.

At the time of grant, the fair value of the Series B Warrants as calculated using the Black-Scholes model was $607,995 using the following assumptions:  dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 152.5%, risk-free interest rate of 0.8%, and expected term of two years.  The portion of the proceeds from the 2010 Offering allocated to the Series B Warrants was $110,144.

Convertible Notes Payable – Current

Sidhu Convertible Note

On May 20, 2011, we issued a one year convertible promissory note in the amount of $100,000 to Mr. Jeet Sidhu (the “Sidhu Convertible Note”), one of our non-employee directors.  The Sidhu Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum, which interest is accrued and payable on the maturity date of the Sidhu Convertible Note.  As long as the Sidhu Convertible Note remains outstanding and not fully paid, the holder has the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Sidhu Convertible Note, together with all or any portion of the accrued and unpaid interest into that number of shares, subject to certain terms and conditions, of our common stock equal to the amount of the converted indebtedness divided by $0.01 per share. In the event of default, as defined in the Sidhu Convertible Note agreement, the annual interest rate increases to 10% and is due on demand. Certain events of default will result in all sums of principal and interest then remaining unpaid immediately due and payable, upon demand of the holder. The issuance of the Sidhu Convertible Note did not result in a beneficial conversion feature.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded interest expense of $954 payable to Mr. Sidhu related to the Sidhu Convertible Note.  At June 30, 2011, accrued interest related to the Sidhu Convertible Note was $954.

Convertible Note Payable

On March 2, 2010, we issued a one year convertible promissory note in the amount of $40,000 to a non-affiliated third party.  The convertible note bore interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum, which interest was accrued and payable on the maturity date of the convertible promissory note.  As long as the convertible promissory note remained outstanding and not fully paid, the holder had the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the convertible promissory note, together with all or any portion of the accrued and unpaid interest into that number of shares, subject to certain terms and conditions, of our common stock equal to the amount of the converted indebtedness divided by $0.01 per share. In the event of default, as defined in the Convertible Promissory Note agreement, the annual interest rate increased to 10% and was due on demand. Certain events of default result in all sums of principal and interest then remaining unpaid immediately due and payable, upon demand of the holder. We did not repay the outstanding principal balance of the convertible note and the accrued interest thereon on March 1, 2011, the maturity date of the convertible note, triggering an event of default.  As a result, we began accruing interest on the principal balance at the annual default rate of 10%.  On May 23, 2011, we repaid to the note holder the principal balance of the Convertible Promissory Note and the related accrued interest of $4,300.

Since the book value of the convertible promissory note ($40,000) divided by the number of shares to which the debt could be converted (4,000,000 shares of common stock) was $0.01 per share, which was less than the fair value of the stock at the time the debt was issued ($0.03 per share), there was a beneficial conversion feature.  The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount against the convertible promissory note, which reduced the book value of the convertible promissory note to not less than zero.  We amortized the discount using the effective interest method over the one-year life of the convertible promissory note.
 
 
21

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded interest expense of $581 and $1,469, respectively, payable to the holder of the convertible promissory note.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the convertible promissory note of $0 and $33,161, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded interest expense of $847 and $1,118, respectively, payable to the holder of the convertible promissory note.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the convertible promissory note of $186 and $199.

As of June 30, 2011, the discount on the convertible promissory note was fully amortized and the convertible promissory note and related accrued interest had been re-paid in full. At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the convertible promissory note was $6,839, net of unamortized discount of $33,161. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accrued interest related to the convertible promissory note was $0 and $2,832, respectively.

Notes Payable and Convertible Note Payable – Long Term

We had arranged with Mr. Harmel S. Rayat, former Chief Financial Officer, Director, and one of our majority shareholders, a loan amount up to $2,500,000 that may be drawn down on an “as needed basis” at a rate of prime plus 3%.  Effective September 15, 2008, we terminated this loan agreement.  At December 31, 2009, we had an unsecured promissory note pursuant to this loan agreement in the amount of $750,000 payable to Mr. Rayat, which was due on March 8, 2006, and bore interest at an annual rate of 8.5%.

On March 1, 2010, Mr. Rayat agreed to convert the then outstanding balance of the note payable ($750,000) and accrued and unpaid interest ($317,527) thereon to a fixed three (3) year term convertible note, totaling $1,067,527 (the “Rayat Convertible Note”).  The Rayat Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum, which interest is accrued and payable on the maturity date of the Rayat Convertible Note.  As long as the Rayat Convertible Note remains outstanding and not fully paid, Mr. Rayat has the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Rayat Convertible Note, together with all or any portion of the accrued and unpaid interest into that number of shares, subject to certain terms and conditions, of our common stock equal to the amount of the converted indebtedness divided by $0.01 per share. In the event of default, as defined in the Convertible Promissory Note agreement, the annual interest rate increases to 10% and is due on demand. We may, in our discretion, redeem the Rayat Convertible Note at any time prior to the maturity date of the Rayat Convertible Note.  Certain events of default will result in all sums of principal and interest then remaining unpaid immediately due and payable, upon demand of Mr. Rayat.

Since the book value of the Rayat Convertible Note ($1,067,527) divided by the number of shares of common stock to which the debt can be converted (106,752,700) is $0.01 per share, which was less than the fair value of the stock at the time the debt was issued ($0.03 per share), there was a beneficial conversion feature.  The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount against the Rayat Convertible Note, which reduced the book value of the Rayat Convertible Note to not less than zero.  We amortize the discount using the effective interest method over the three-year life of the Rayat Convertible Note.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded interest expense of $22,623 and $44,997, respectively, payable to Mr. Rayat related to the Rayat Convertible Note. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the convertible promissory note of $328 and $431, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded interest expense of $22,623 and $40,386, respectively, payable to Mr. Rayat related to the original $750,000 note payable and the Rayat Convertible Note.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded interest expense related to the accretion of the discount on the Rayat Convertible Note of $7 and $9, respectively.
 
 
22

 

At June 30, 2011, the carrying value of the Rayat Convertible Note was $477, net of unamortized discount of $1,067,050.  At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the Rayat Convertible Note was $46, net of unamortized discount of $1,067,481.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accrued interest related to the Rayat Convertible Note was $120,821 and $75,824, respectively.

Accrued Payroll Liabilities

On March 15, 2010, Mr. Greg Wujek tendered his resignation as our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).  On June 17, 2010, Mr. Wujek tendered his resignation as one of our directors. As of his resignation date as our President and CEO, we owed Mr. Wujek $30,277 for salary and related payroll taxes earned, but not paid.  We intend to repay Mr. Wujek in full when we have the capital resources to do so. Mr. Wujek has not made any demands for payment.

Other Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2011, we have the following contractual obligations: the Rayat Convertible Note of $1,067,527, the short term convertible note in the principal amount of $40,000, the Sidhu Convertible Note of $100,000, accrued interest of $121,776, $30,277 for accrued payroll owed to Mr. Wujek, $3,563 owed to a third party for investor and shareholder relations services, and $715 related to the three month operating lease agreement we have for our office space in Southfield, Michigan.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2011, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our United States SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
