Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

ORGANIZATION

 

Fuse Science, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 21, 1988.  Since that time, the Company has engaged in a number of businesses as a private and subsequently a publicly held company, including developing and marketing data communications and networking infrastructure solutions for business, government and education (which business was sold in 2002) and as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, from 2007 to 2009 (incorporated by reference to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012). 

 

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

CONSOLIDATION POLICY AND HISTORY OF BUSINESS

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fuse Science, Inc. (“FSR&D”), a Delaware Corporation, FS Consumer Products Group, Inc., a Florida corporation [and its 60% owned subsidiary, Ultimate Social Network, Inc. (“USN”)]. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information set forth in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended March 31, 2013, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments and which in the opinion of management are necessary to make the interim condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. The September 30, 2012 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with these financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest stockholder’s annual report (Form 10-K) which were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company records revenue from the sale of Enerjel™, Powerfuse™ and Electrofuse™ , when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s customers may return ordered items for a refund . The Company also provides customers incentives to purchase products at a discount. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, we have recorded sales discounts, returns and allowances of $7,704 which is netted against sales.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

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

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories consist of items or products, which are manufactured by a contracted manufacturer on behalf of the Company, for resale and packaging material used to distribute such products. Inventories are valued at average cost and adjusted to reflect lower of cost or market. Allowances for inventory obsolescence are determined based upon the specific facts and circumstances and market conditions. As of March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, no obsolescence reserves were considered necessary.

 

10
 

 

FIXED ASSETS

 

Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3-10 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation, amounted to $123,923 and $93,880 as of March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the accumulated depreciation of equipment was $10,870 and $4,622, respectively. 

 

INVESTMENTS

 

Investments are classified into the following categories:

 

  · Trading securities reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings;
  · Available-for-sale securities reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, reported in other comprehensive income;
  · Held-to-maturity securities and other investments reported at amortized cost; and
  · Investments using the equity method of accounting.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value information about financial instruments is required to be disclosed when it is practicable to estimate that value.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate their estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments and because related interest rates offered to the Company approximate current rates.

 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Intellectual property is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our intellectual property may not be recoverable.  Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives of 15 years.  We believe that the straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained annually by the Company.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events change or if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method and deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. 

 

The Company recognizes positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in accordance with existing accounting guidance on income taxes which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in interest expense and other non-interest expense, respectively.

 

STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

The Company follows current accounting requirements and uses the modified prospective and transition method for all stock options issued.  The Company measures compensation cost for all options granted based on fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense over the service period for those options expected to vest.

 

11
 

 

 

The Board of Directors approved the Double Eagle Holdings, Ltd. 2011 Incentive Stock Plan on October 17, 2011 and it was approved by a majority of shareholders on December 8, 2011.  

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s options would have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s options, although they provide the best estimate currently.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the financial statements. That cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The wide range of share-based compensation arrangements includes share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. The Company’s financial statements include an expense for all share-based compensation arrangements granted on or after January 1, 2006 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled or repurchased after that date based on the grant-date estimated fair value.

  

12
 

  

RECLASSIFICATION

 

A reclassification has been made to the financial statements at September 30, 2012 to comply with the presentation for the six months ended March 31, 2013.  The reclassification had no effect on net loss.

 

LOSS PER SHARE

 

The Company’s loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted losses per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the losses of the Company.

 

As described in Note 6 – Notes Payable and Note 10 – 2011 Incentive Stock Plan, the Company had warrants at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012. The convertible notes are reflected in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the corresponding periods by application of the “if converted” method to the extent their effect is dilutive.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:

4. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has not established sources of revenue sufficient to fund the development of the business, projected operating expenses and commitments for the next twelve months. The Company had a net loss from operations of $(5,307,746) during the six month period ended March 31, 2013. Included in this loss, the Company recorded non-cash compensation of $1,488,422 which relates to contracts entered into by the Company for current and future services undertaken for marketing and promotional activities by brand athletes through endorsement contracts, as well as contracts with consultants to provide professional services and employment contracts with the Company’s key employees. At March 31, 2013, current assets are $1,522,922 and current liabilities are $2,080,657. These conditions raise serious doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made as a result of this uncertainty.

 

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

In April 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of all the outstanding common stock of the Delaware corporation now known as FSR&D, which was a development stage company with no prior operations. As of March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012 unamortized intellectual property relating to this acquisition amounted to $80,456 and $81,756, respectively.

Current  $1,180,506   $105,000 
Long term   -    85,757 
Total  $1,180,506   $190,757 

  

On October 12, 2012, we executed an agreement for a 9% unsecured promissory note in the amount of $250,000 which is due on demand by the lenders. These notes were extinguished and subsequently included in our March 2013 Convertible Notes.

 

On March 7, 2013, we sold (i) $2,050,000 in combined principal amount of senior convertible and senior subordinated convertible notes (the “March 2013 Notes”) and (ii) the warrants (the “March 2013 Warrants”), consisting of (a) series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,058,828 (prior to conversion rate adjustment) shares of common stock (the “Series A Warrants”) and (b) series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,058,828 (prior to conversion rate adjustment) shares of common stock (the “Series B Warrants”) at a purchase price of $2,050,000, in a private placement to a group of institutional and accredited investors pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2013. The March 2013 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.17, and are entitled to earn interest which may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock. The March 2013 Warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock.

 

The March 2013 Notes are one (1) year senior convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (“Series A Notes”) and one (1) year senior subordinated convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $550,000 (the “Series B Notes”). The March 2013 Notes will accrue interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum, which will be paid on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year to the record note holder of each March 2013 Note. The interest accrued is payable in interest shares, although the Company may, at its option and upon written notice to each note holder of the March 2013 Notes, make such interest payments in cash or in a combination of cash and interest shares.

 

The Series A Warrants have a term of five (5) years from the Closing Date and the Series B Warrants have a term of seven (7) months from the Closing Date. Each of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants is immediately exercisable upon issuance into an aggregate of 12,058,828 (prior to conversion rate adjustment) fully paid and non-assessable shares at an initial exercise price of $0.21 per share in the case of the Class A Warrants and $0.17 per share in the case of the Class B Warrants.

  

Any holder of the March 2013 Notes is entitled to convert the notes into conversion shares at any time by delivery of a notice of conversion to the Company. On or before the third trading day after receipt of the conversion notice, the Company must deliver to the note holder such number of conversion shares to which the note holder is entitled pursuant to the conversion. The number of conversion shares the note holder will receive upon conversion of the Notes will be determined by dividing the amount of principal being converted plus any accrued and unpaid interest by the conversion price effective at the time of the conversion. The March 2013 Notes have an initial conversion price of $0.17 however it is subject to reset depending on the filing of the registration statement.

 

The Company received net proceeds in the amount of approximately $1,794,000 (including $250,000 from our 9% unsecured note which was converted into a Series B Note in the offering) after offering cost of $256,000 and non-cash settlement for the $337,000. In recording the transaction, the Company allocated the face value of the notes between the estimated the fair values of the March 2013 Notes, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. As a result, the March 2013 Notes were discounted by approximately $501,000 for Series A Warrants and approximately $543,000 for Series B Warrants. The carrying value of the March 2013 Notes as of the day of the transaction amounted to $1,006,000. The Company also recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $1,006,000 representing the amount allocated to the March 2013 Notes. The beneficial conversion feature was expensed in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, as a result of the March 2013 Notes being available for conversion three days after consummation of the agreement. The discount associated with the Series A Warrants is amortized over the life of the March 2013 Notes and the discount associated with Series B Warrants is amortized over seven months as a result of the Series B warrants being exercisable in seven months.

Placement Agent Fee

 

With respect to the March 2013 financing, the Company paid the co-placement agents a placement fee of $164,000 and issued to the co-placement agents and their designees, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,266,175 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.21 per share and seven-month warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,266,175 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share. In addition, the placement agent received 844,118 shares. The total fair value of warrants and shares issued is approximately $368,000.  

 

The fair value of each warrant on the date issued was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were used for the calculation of the warrants granted in March 2013.

 

  (Series A Warrants)     (Series B Warrants)  
Expected term   5 years       7 months  
Expected average volatility   36.00 %     36.00 %
Expected dividend yield   0 %     0 %
Risk-free interest rate   .80 %     .12 %

 

The recorded discount on the convertible notes payable is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note or seven months for the discount associated with Series B Warrants and is summarized as follows as of March 31, 2013.

 

       Debt Discount

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  

The Company operated as a Business Development Company (“BDC”) until January 20, 2009, when it elected to no longer be treated as a BDC.  As a part of its operations and consistent with the operating parameters of a BDC, the Company developed a number of relationships with its portfolio company investments, including members of the Company's board of directors becoming officers and directors of its portfolio company investments.  The Company made loans to the portfolio companies and entered into management agreements with the portfolio companies.  As a result of operating as a BDC and then converting to an operating company, a number of its previous relationships were required to be categorized as related party transactions.  Subsequently, these transactions ceased to qualify as related party transactions due to the termination of the related party relationship.

 

While operating as a BDC the Company had management contracts and made loans to its 60% owned subsidiary USN. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation with USN.

Sales

 

Net Sales were $56,622 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $24,174 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in sales is due to a limited roll out of Enerjel™, Powerfuse™ and Electrofuse™, primarily through online sales while the Company focuses on a full retail roll out through its establishment of distribution partnerships, which began shipping in during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit percentage during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 51%. Sales for the three months consisted of Enerjel™, Powerfuse™ and Electrofuse™.

Our operating expenses were $2,063,965 and $1,874,182 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, an increase of $189,783 from 2012 to 2013, reflecting increased operations. For the three months ending March 31, 2013, $1,046,026 was recorded for share-based compensation and amortization of deferred compensation. This compares with $565,995 for share-based compensation and amortization of deferred compensation for the three months ending March 31, 2012. The deferred compensation expense in 2013 and 2012 represents the amortized fair value of stock and options issued for services to non-employees. The share-based compensation charges to operations in 2013 and 2012 were primarily for stock options granted under our 2011 Incentive Stock Plan to executive officers and were made so that their interests would be aligned with those of shareholders, providing incentive to improve Company performance on a long-term basis. Grants of stock options were also made to third parties for various services rendered and as additional compensation for financing agreements. Amortization of deferred compensation is recorded in general and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and support costs for management and administrative staff, and for other general and administrative costs, including professional fees related to accounting, finance, and legal services as well as other operating expenses.

  

Sales and Marketing

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, sales and marketing expenses were $759,704 and $733,515, respectively. The increase of $26,189 is primarily due to the marketing efforts for Enerjel™, and PowerFuse™ and ElectroFuse™, which were subsequently launched online in December 2012. In February 2012, the Company entered into a marketing and distribution agreement with Mission to market the Company’s products through their distribution channels. This agreement included comprehensive marketing services and heavy commercialization efforts during the first ten (10) months. The Company paid Mission approximately $650,000 for these services, which is amortized over 10 months. Included in the increase in 2013 is a result of amortization of deferred compensation (non-cash) of approximately $494,000 as of March 31, 2013 compared to $289,147 as of March 31, 2012. The Company’s products are endorsed by a number of professional athletes which are remunerated cash and non-cash payments. The increase in sales and marketing is also attributed to endorsement contracts with these professional athletes. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and support costs for sales and marketing personnel, professional services, promotional, marketing and related activities.

The share-based compensation charges to operations in 2013 and 2012 were primarily for stock options granted under our 2011 Incentive Stock Plan to executive officers and were made so that their interests would be aligned with those of shareholders, providing incentive to improve Company performance on a long-term basis. Grants of stock options were also made to third parties for various services rendered and as additional compensation for financing agreements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working deficit at March 31, 2013 compared to March 31, 2012.

 

   March 31,
2013
   March 31,
2012
   Increase/(Decrease) 
             
Current Assets  $1,522,922   $2,530,273   $(1,007,351)
Current Liabilities  $2,080,657   $890,304   $1,190,353 
Working Deficit  $(557,735)  $1,639,969   $(2,197,704)

  

28
 

  

As March 31, 2013, we had a working deficit of $(557,735), as compared to working capital of $1,639,969 at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $2,197,704. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company’s issuance of $250,000 from our 9% due on demand notes, as well as $1.5 million for warrants exercised on February 2012 Notes.

  

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $(3,166,342) and $(2,177,602), respectively. The net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $(5,307,746) and $(4,385,988), respectively. 

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, was $(36,291) and ($21,190), respectively. The Company purchased equipment during the six months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Net cash obtained through all financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $3,318,144, as compared to $3,115,426 which was obtained for the six months ended March 31, 2012. The increase of approximately $202,718 is primarily related to a February 2012 private placement of convertible notes and warrants for approximately $3.2 million and the subsequent exercise of a portion of such warrants which generated approximately $1.3 million. Besides the foregoing existing notes and warrants, the Company issued additional notes and warrants (which we exercised) generating $1,521,324 in cash for the Company.

 

Our primary source of operating cash has been through private placements of our securities, principally convertible notes and warrants and the subsequent exercise of certain of those warrants.

 

Management estimates that it will need between $2,000,000 and $3,500,000 in capital during the balance of fiscal 2013 to continue to commercialize our products, license our technology and otherwise fully implement our business plan. We have no commitments to raise any such capital. If such capital is not available when needed on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, we may have to scale down or delay implementation of our business plan in whole or in part and curtail its business activities, which would seriously harm the Company and its prospects.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow since its inception. At March 31, 2013, the Company had cash of approximately $177,561 and a working deficit of $(557,735). Further, at March 31, 2013, the accumulated deficit amounted to $28,421,790. As a result of the Company's history of losses and unfavorable financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. 

 

The Company will require additional funding of between $2,000,000 and $3,500,000 during the balance of fiscal 2013 to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:

 

  · continue with the implementation of our business plan;

 

  · generate new sales from expanded retail distribution of EnerJel™, PowerFuse™ and ElectroFuse™;

 

  · seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing;

 

  · continue facilitation of licensing efforts; and

 

  · allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

 

A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing to fund the Company’s planned expenses and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Management plans to finance future operations through the use of cash on hand, increased revenues and capital raised through equity or debt financing. We also expect to receive proceeds from stock warrant exercises from existing shareholders. As the Company’s product continues to gain market acceptance, the Company expects sales during the balance of fiscal 2013 and beyond to substantially increase.

 

29
 

  

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve its projected level of revenues in fiscal 2013 and beyond. If the Company is unable to achieve its projected revenues and is not able to obtain alternate additional financing of equity or debt, the Company would need to significantly curtail or reorient its operations during 2013, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives and as a result may require the Company to file for bankruptcy or cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.

 

Our future expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including: the rate at which we can introduce and sell products; the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and market acceptance of our products and competing technological developments. We expect that we will incur between $2,000,000 and $3,500,000 in cash expenditures for our operating expenses during fiscal 2013. As we expand our activities and operations, our cash requirements are expected to increase at a rate consistent with revenue growth after we have achieved sustained revenue generation.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

New Accounting Standards

 

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective.  Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.  See Note 2.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The SEC issued “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure about Critical Accounting Policies”; suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies.  The SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Based on this definition our most critical accounting policies are in process of evolving while we move from the development stage to the operational stage of our business cycle.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

  

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.  A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

  

30
 

  

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2012.  Our management has determined that, as of September 30, 2012, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with the United States' generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as set forth in its Internal Control - Integrated Framework.  Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2013. 

 

This annual report does not include an audit or attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting.  Our management's report was not subject to audit or attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

There were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

A dispute had arisen between the Company and Maurice “Hank” Durschlag, the Company’s former President, with respect to approximately $75,000 in fees due under a consulting agreement entered into in March 2011 prior to the Company’s April 2011 acquisition of the Delaware corporation now known as FSR&D, Inc.
