BioNeutral Group, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
Note 1 - Nature of Business & Organization
 
BioNeutral Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a specialty chemical corporation seeking to develop and commercialize a novel combinational chemistry-based technology which it believes, in certain circumstances, may neutralize harmful environmental contaminants, toxins and dangerous micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses and spores. The Company currently operates its business through its subsidiary, BioNeutral Laboratories Corporation USA (“BioNeutral Laboratories” or “BioLabs”), a corporation organized in Delaware in 2003. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 10, 2007 under the name “Moonshine Creations, Inc.,” and changed its name to “BioNeutral Group, Inc.” on December 22, 2008.  

On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with BioNeutral Laboratories pursuant to which it agreed to issue to the shareholders of BioNeutral Laboratories 45,000,000 shares of our common stock. Upon completion of this transaction, the former shareholders of BioNeutral Laboratories became the majority stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of BioNeutral Group, Inc.

Note 2 – Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company's unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has had no significant revenues and has generated losses from operations. In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources and to develop a consistent source of revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its strategic plan and/or recognize revenue from its intangible assets and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
 
At April 30, 2013, the Company had negative working capital of $1,666,001. For the six months ended April 30, 2013 the Company incurred an net loss of $1,425,933 and since inception has an accumulated deficit of $56,273,172.  For the same period in 2012, the Company’s net loss was $1,398,476.  The Company anticipates it will experience a net loss in fiscal 2013 as it continues to pursue markets for the sale and distribution of its products and development of access to global markets.
 
The Company had $4,519 of cash at April 30, 2013.  Cash used by operations for the six months ended April 30, 2013 was $517,657. The principal use of funds were for consulting services supporting the development of our business plan, legal and accounting fees in connection with being a public company and daily operations of the business, including rent, travel and laboratory costs.  

During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Company raised $521,500 of cash from the issuance of convertible debentures to fund operations.

On December 12, 2012 the Company issued a convertible promissory note to JMJ financial in the amount of $250,000 of which it received payments through the date of this report of $110,000.  It expects to receive additional payments from JMJ under the note at various intervals during the calendar year 2013.

On October 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock compensation plan for professionals and consultants.  The Plan was approved by the Board, on November 7, 2012 and the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-8 for issuance of up to ten (10) million shares pursuant to the stock compensation plan.  It plans to fund a portion of our expenses by issuing shares of its S-8 common stock to consultants and professionals.

On December 11, 2012, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (“Equity Line of Credit”) with Southridge Partners II, LP (“Southridge”) for an equity line of up to $10,000,000. Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, at its discretion, to sell to Southridge up to $10 million of its common stock from time to time over a 36-month period. The Company will have the right, but is not obligated, to sell stock to Southridge depending on certain conditions as set forth in the Agreement.  The Company submitted a registration statement to the SEC and is currently engaged in the process of responding to comments received from the SEC. The Company cannot begin utilizing the Equity Line of Credit until approval is granted by the SEC.

While the Company has been able to use proceeds from the issuance of convertible promissory notes to fund a substantial balance of its operating costs, it does not expect that its funds will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs through May 1, 2014 and it will need to raise additional capital during fiscal 2013 to fund the full costs associated with its growth and development. 

The Company believes that it will be able to generate significant sales by the fourth quarter of 2013 providing for sufficient cash flows to supplement its equity financing based on its current plans.  If it’s able to execute its plan, the Company can begin to accumulate cash reserves.  There is no assurance however that its funds will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs through its fiscal year 2013, and it may need to raise additional capital during fiscal 2013 to fund the full costs associated with its growth and development. The Company believes that it will require approximately $2,000,000 in additional capital to achieve its goals.  There can be no assurances that it will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its business development initiatives, impair its intellectual property and take additional measures to reduce cost in order to conserve cash.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to make the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2013 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 and cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended April 30, 2013, and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year and it is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 as contained in the Form 10-K filed on January 29, 2013.

Our policy is to recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 based on when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery or performance has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sale is reasonably assured, which is normally the date the product is shipped.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $44,672 at April 30, 2013 and October 31 2012, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of six months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. For financial statement purposes, investments in money market funds are considered a cash equivalent and are included in cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains it cash and cash equivalents at high credit quality institutions, with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As of April 30, 2013, the Company did not exceed the federally insured limits. Management believed that the financial institution that holds our deposits are financially sound and therefore pose minimal credit risk. At April 30, 2013 and October 31 2012, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

Inventory
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method.  In the normal course of business, when a customer places an order, the Company will place an order for manufacturing with its contract manufacturer.  Inventory consists primarily of finished goods.  Once completed, the contract manufacturer will ship directly to the customer.  As such, the Company does not currently store inventoried product at any location.  In addition, the Company does not have significant sales.  If sales were to increase in the future, the Company may decide that the best course of action would be to carry inventory.

Non-Controlling Interest
 
A non-controlling interest was created as a result of the Company’s reorganization and recapitalization with a public shell corporation. The non-controlling interest arose because the Company’s records indicated that initially 14% of the shareholders of the accounting acquirer in the transaction, BioLabs, did not participate in the exchange of their shares of common stock of BioLabs for shares of common stock of the Company. In all material respects, the shares of the Company and the shares of the common stock of BioLabs included in the non-controlling interest represent different legal instruments conveying mirror ownership claims to the same underlying net assets and operations, as reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities, share based payment arrangements, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances and estimating the fair value of long-lived assets to assess whether impairment charges may be necessary. Certain of our estimates, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary.

Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which  defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
 
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
 
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Convertible Instruments
 
            The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”
 
Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of its common stock for unrestricted shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculate the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the nonemployee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date equals the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.
 
Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements.  These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported loss.
 
Net income (loss) per share
 
The Company utilizes FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share, to calculate gain or loss per share. Basic gain or loss per share is computed by dividing the gain or loss available to common stockholders (as the numerator) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding (as the denominator). Diluted gain or loss per share is computed similar to basic gain or loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if all potential common stock (including common stock equivalents) had all been issued, and if such additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Under FASB ASC 260, if the additional shares of common stock are not dilutive, they are not added to the denominator in the calculation. Where there is a loss, the inclusion of additional shares of common stock is anti-dilutive (since the increased number of shares reduces the per share loss available to common stock holders). The Company incurred a loss for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 therefore, common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." This ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
Note 4 - Prepaid Expenses

The Company periodically pays for services supporting its business operations with shares of its common stock. When these services are provided by third parties (i.e. non-employees) and performance extends over more than the current reporting period, a prepaid asset is established at the agreement date for the value of shares issued. The prepaid asset is established in the same period and manner as if cash were paid for the underlying goods or services, pursuant to FASB ASC 505-50-25-4 and 25-6.

Prepaid Expenses was $28,653 and $0 at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively.  At April 30, 2013, $28,653 represents share based payments to our sales and administrative staff.  We expect to recover these amounts within a one year period.
Note 5 – Intellectual Property
 
The Company has several patent applications pending regarding proprietary chemical formulations that the Company believes are capable of neutralizing noxious chemicals and eliminating harmful microbes. The Company capitalized the costs of acquired technology, know-how and trade secrets and identifiable costs incurred to develop file and defend the Company’s Intellectual Property and new patent or provisional patent applications (collectively “Intellectual Property”) in accordance with FASB ASC 350. Periodic gross carrying amounts and related accumulated amortization were as follows:

The Company follows FASB ASC 350-30-35 and amortizes the costs of its Intellectual Property over the shorter of its specific useful life, or 20 years. The Company is amortizing its Intellectual Property over 20 years, with no anticipated residual value.  Amortization expense for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was $177,181 and $177,181, respectively. Amortization expense for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was $354,362 and $354,362, respectively.
 
Estimated amortization expense is as follows

The Intellectual Property is evaluated annually for recoverability pursuant to FASB ASC 350-30-35-14 and related guidance in ASC 360-10-35-17 thru 35-35.  An impairment loss is recognized if the asset is determined not to be recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value. During its annual impairment testing, the Company did not identify an impairment loss.
 
Note 6 - Related Party Payables

During the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded interest of $518 and $518, respectively, and during the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded interest of $1,036 and $1,036, respectively, on promissory notes entered into with former members of the Board of Directors who resigned their positions with the Company on January 29, 2009.
 
Note 7 - Stock Based Compensation

The Company issues shares of its common stock to employees and non-employees as compensation for services provided. Stock based compensation related to employees is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and ASC 505-50 for non-employees. All shares issued during fiscal years 2012 and 2011 were fully vested upon grant of the shares or no later than the respective year end dates.

Employees and Board Members

Measurement of compensation cost related to shares of common stock issued to employees is based on the grant date fair value of the shares. Fair value was determined through the use of quoted prices in the trading market for the Company’s shares (OTCBB) or arms-length exchanges of shares for cash in private transactions, in periods that quoted market prices were not available.

During the three months ended April, 30, 2013, the Company issued 2,340,350 and 0 shares of its S-8 registered common stock to employees for compensation and out of pocket expenses of $76,347 and $0 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The shares were valued and issued based on the preceding ten (10) day average of the prevailing quotation prices for the Company's stock.

On April 25, 2013 the Company issued 787,500 shares of its restricted common stock to employees as bonus compensation of $78,750 for the 2012 calendar year.  The shares were valued and issued at $.10 based on the closing quotation price for the Company's stock on December 31, 2012.  The administrative process to issue the shares finally culminated on April 25, 2013.

On February 27, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,075,375 shares of its restricted common stock to members of its Board of Directors as compensation for their participation the Board, and recorded $78,500 of expenses of board of directors’ fees.  The shares were valued and issued at $.07 per share based on the preceding ten (10) day average of the prevailing quotation prices for the Company's stock.

Non-Controlling Interest

In connection with the reverse acquisition disclosed in Note 1, initially approximately 14% of BioLabs’ common shareholders did not participate in the exchange of their shares of BioLabs common stock for shares of common stock of the Company. Those shareholders are recognized as a non-controlling interest in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB ACS 805-40-25-2. The assets, liabilities and operations underlying the shares of BioLabs and the Company are identical. However, the shares representing ownership of the Company reflect the combined entity after the Share Exchange transaction, while BioLabs shares included in the non-controlling interest held by the non-controlling interest represent ownership of that legal entity.

Note 9 – Notes Payable
 
On October 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Asher for the sale and issuance of an 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $53,000 (the “Note”). The Purchase Agreement became effective on November 2, 2012 when the transaction closed.  The principal balance of the Note is convertible into common stock, $0.00001 par value, of the Company, at the election of the Holder, beginning 180 days after the issuance of the Note. The conversion price of the Note shall be equal to 58% multiplied by the market price (as defined in the Note). The Note matures on August 2, 2013.

The Francis Note includes all amounts previously owed and due to Mr. Francis. The Francis Note also includes $185,000 of new funding provided by Mr. Francis. The Francis Note is due on May 6, 2014. The Francis Note bears interest at 18% per annum.

The conversion price of the Note shall be equal to 58% multiplied by the market price (as defined in the Note). The Note matures on November 27, 2013. The Company has the right to prepay the principal and interest at a premium depending on the date that it is prepaid. Interest on the Note accrues at a rate of 8% per annum. The Note contains customary default provisions, including provisions for potential acceleration of the Note, a default premium, and default interest of 22%.  On June 20, 2013 the Company received a notice of default from Asher for the outstanding balance due on the Note of $42,500 plus accrued default interest for failure to comply with the filing deadline of this Form 10-Q.  The Company is currently in discussions with Asher to cure the event of default.  However the Company cannot provide reasonable assurance that they will be successful in reaching a favorable outcome.
 
The Company received loan proceeds from Michael D. Francis, the Company’s principal stockholder during the six months ended April 30, 2013, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $131,000.  The Company and Mr. Francis are currently in negotiations to determine the terms of the loans.
 
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging which requires issuers of financial statements to make a determination as to whether (1) an embedded conversion meets the definition of a derivative in its entirety and (2) the derivative would qualify for a scope exception to derivative accounting, which includes evaluating whether the embedded derivative would be considered indexed to the issuer’s own stock.
 
 
14

 

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as separate derivatives in the event such derivatives would not be classified in stockholders’ equity if they were free standing. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other applicable US GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the  embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides for an exception to this rule if a debt host instrument is deemed to be a conventional debt instrument.

The Company evaluated the conversion option embedded in its Convertible notes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 and determined that on the conversion date, the conversion option will have all of the characteristics of a derivative in its entirety and does not qualify for an exception to the derivative accounting rules. Specifically, because the exercise price of the conversion option is not fixed at any time during the term of the note. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option in the Convertible notes are classified as derivative liabilities at the conversion dates and are marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the conversion option was determined using the intrinsic value method which the Company believes approximate the results obtained using the Binomial Lattice model. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible notes were recorded net of a discount of $214,061 related to the derivative liability. The debt discount will be charged to amortization of debt discount ratably over the term of the Convertible notes. Additionally, the Company recorded a discount in the amount of $159,154 in connection with the initial valuation of the beneficial conversion feature of another Convertible notes to be amortized utilizing the interest method of accretion over the expected term of the note. The Company recorded an aggregate amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $102,719 and $212,361 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and is included in Interest Expense.
 
Note 10 - Related Party Transactions

Related Party Transactions During the Six months Ended April 30, 2013

On April 12, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement, Global Release Cancellation of Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, Preferred Stock Drawdown Agreement, The Agreement to Assign and Settle Notes and Agreement to License Invention by and between the Company and Vinfluence Pty Ltd (the "Global Agreement").

The Global Agreement settles the claims of each of the Company and Vinfluence which had been the subject of litigation. The Agreement also terminates the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Preferred Stock Drawdown Agreement, the Agreement to Assign and Settle Debt, the Agreement to Assign and Settle Notes Agreement and the Vinfluence License Agreement (collectively, the "Vinfluence Agreements"). As a result of the Global Agreement, the Company will cancel an aggregate of 178,042 shares of Series B and Series D Preferred Stock that had been issued to Vinfluence. The only Series B and Series D Preferred Stock that remains outstanding (an aggregate of 67,581 shares) represents debt or notes that were actually settled by Vinfluence. Each share of Preferred Stock cancelled was convertible into 125 shares of the Company's common stock thus the cancellation of the Vinfluence Agreements results in significantly less dilution than if the Preferred Stock had been converted. As part of the Global Agreement, the Company will issue Vinfluence an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

Note 11 – Commitments & Contingencies

Litigation

On November 26, 2012, the Company filed a complaint against Raj Pamani, a shareholder and former director of the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey Essex County: Chancery Division (“the Complaint”).  Included also as defendants were several entities to which in 2009 the Company awarded approximately 13 million shares of its common stock in consideration for consulting contracts which the Company has concluded were fraudulently induced and were later deemed to be worthless (the “Defendant Entities”).  By causing the Company to enter into the contracts to its detriment in favor of Mr. Pamani’s and the Defendant Entities self-enrichment, the Company seeks to recover damages incurred from the actions of Mr. Pamani and the Defendant Entities as a result of self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of loyalty and fraud.  As this matter unfolds, the Company may pursue and recover damages incurred from other parties that come to its attention for their participation.
 
On October 1, 2009, the SEC issued a formal order of investigation to the Company regarding possible securities laws violations by us and other persons.  The investigation concerns the process by which the Company became a publicly traded entity, trading in the Company’s shares, and disclosure and promotion of developments in the Company’s business.  The SEC has requested that the Company deliver certain documents to the SEC.  The Company has, and will continue to fully cooperate with the SEC with respect to its investigation.

The Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant costs in responding to such investigation.  Any adverse findings by the SEC in connection with such investigation could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, including the Company's ability to continue to operate as a publicly traded company.
 
In April 2005, the Company filed in the US Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) an application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™, Ogiene® and Ygiene®, based on its intent to use each of these marks in commerce.  In April 2006, the USPTO issued notices of allowance signifying that each of these trademarks was entitled to registration after timely submission of statements of use, including evidence that such trademarks have been properly used in commerce.  From June through November of 2008, however, the Company’s applications for each of these trademarks were declared abandoned by the USPTO, since the Company inadvertently failed to timely file the appropriate statements of use with respect to each trademark within the six-month period from the date the USPTO issued the respective notices of allowance.  In July 2009, the Company again submitted applications for each of these trademarks as well as the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT®; however, the Company learned that PURE Bioscience, a company focused on the development and commercialization of bioscience products, had filed application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™ and Ygiene® prior to the Company’s resubmission of its applications.  Subsequently in 2011, the Company received trademark registration from the USPTO for Ygiene®, Ogiene® and the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT®. The Company intends to pursue with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board an opposition to PURE Bioscience's application with respect to BioNeutral™. The Company cannot assure you that it will be successful with such opposition on a timely basis, if at all.  In May 2011, the Company received notice that PURE Bioscience filed a petition with the USPTO for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene® registration.  The Company intends to pursue a vigorous opposition to the petition for cancellation; however the Company cannot assure you that it will be successful with such opposition on a timely basis, if at all.

Other than the foregoing, the Company is not a party to, and none of the Company’s property is the subject of, any pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation that is incidental to the Company’s business.

Other Contingencies
 
Approximately 6 million shares issued in the Share Exchange were issued by the then transfer agent to stockholders of BioLabs for whom the Company does not have records as having consented to the Share Exchange. The Company currently holds approximately 91% of the outstanding interests in its subsidiary, BioLabs. The Company did not receive consents to the Share Exchange from all common and preferred shareholders of BioLabs, and the Company has accounted for those shareholders who did not sign consents as holders of the remaining 9% outstanding interests in BioLabs. The Share Exchange consents did not specify the number of shares of BioLabs common stock to be exchanged by the consenting shareholder and did not affirmatively make the representation and warranties to be made by our stockholders as set forth in the Share Exchange. In light of such omissions, there can be no assurances that a shareholder will not challenge the validity of its consent and request a rescission offer in respect of shares of common stock issued to such person. There can also be no assurances that in light of the content of such Shareholder consent, the Company had a basis for a valid private placement of its common stock issued in the Share Exchange, which if such were the case, may negatively affect our status as a publicly traded company.

In addition, the Company believes that the shareholders who consented to the Share Exchange and were issued shares of Company common stock failed to deliver the stock certificates representing their shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock of BioLabs and may claim they also have an ownership interest in BioLabs. Although the Company would challenge any such claims, it cannot assure investors that it would prevail, in which case the Company’s percentage ownership interest in BioLabs would decrease.
 
Note 12 - Subsequent Events:

On June 1, 2013, the Company entered into a Note Satisfaction and Exchange Agreement with Herb Kozlov, a shareholder of the Company, for the satisfaction of a promissory note issued by the Company on December 6, 2010 in exchange for cash proceeds of $50,000.  Pursuant to the Note Satisfaction and Exchange Agreement, the Company will issue 2,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock to Mr. Kozlov as satisfaction of the principal amount of the note of $50,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $10,750 for a total of $60,750.

On May 2, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Asher Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Holder”) for the sale and issuance of an 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $42,500 (the “Note”). The Purchase Agreement became effective on March 4, 2013 when the transaction closed.  The principal balance of the Note is convertible into common stock, $0.00001 par value, of the Company, at the election of the Holder, beginning 180 days after the issuance of the Note. The conversion price of the Note shall be equal to 51% multiplied by the market price (as defined in the Note). The Note matures on February 6, 2014. The Company has the right to prepay the principal and interest at a premium depending on the date that it is prepaid. Interest on the Note accrues at a rate of 8% per annum. The Note contains customary default provisions, including provisions for potential acceleration of the Note, a default premium, and default interest of 22%.  On June 20, 2013 the Company received a notice of default from Asher for the outstanding balance due on the Note of $42,500 plus accrued default interest for failure to comply with the filing deadline of this Form 10-Q.  The Company is currently in discussions with Asher to cure the event of default.  However the Company cannot provide reasonable assurance that they will be successful in reaching a favorable outcome.

Based on the receipt of several notices of conversion during May 2013 from Asher Enterprises, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,727,146 shares of common stock to convert short-term convertible promissory notes in the aggregate of $52,120.

On April 12, 2013 and in connection with the Global Agreement, the Company also entered into distribution agreement (the "New Distribution Agreement") with White Charger Limited, a New Zealand company whereby White Charger has the right to distribute the Company's products in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Burma, New Caledonia, Kiribati, the Marshal Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Pitcairn, Henderson, Mauritius and Ocneo. This is a much narrower territory than the original licensing agreement and does not include China, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Japan. It also does not include any option for Europe. No intellectual property of the Company is transferred to White Charger. The New Distribution Agreement requires White Charger to purchase at least $500,000 of the Company's products during the first 24 months of which $175,000 must be purchased during the first 12 months of the New Distribution Agreement. The Initial Term of the New Distribution Agreement is for five (5) years and can be extended for an additional five years if White Charger purchases at least $3,000,000 of product during the Initial Term. The New Distribution Agreement also contains a non-competition agreement on behalf of White Charger.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.  All appropriate subsequent event disclosure, if any, have been made in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Company Overview

We are a life science specialty technology corporation that has developed  a novel combinational chemistry-based technology which we believe can, in certain circumstances, neutralize harmful environmental contaminants, toxins and dangerous micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses and spores.  We are focused on developing and commercializing two classes of product formulations: (1) anti­microbials, which are formulations designed to kill certain harmful microscopic living organisms, and (2) bioneutralizers, which are formulations designed to destroy certain agents that are noxious and harmful to health and/or the environment.  We have not marketed any of our products and have not generated any meaningful product revenue to date.
 
We currently are focused on the commercialization of two classes of product formulations, antimicrobials and bioneutralizer.  We refer to our anti­microbial formulations as our Ygiene® products and our bioneutralizer formulations as our Ogiene® products.  Our Ygiene® products have been developed to kill certain harmful microbes, including virulent gram and bacteria (which cause staph infections), viruses, yeast, mold, fungi, spores and/or certain bioterrorism agents, such as anthrax.  Our Ogiene® products have been developed to eliminate or reduce odors of many chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde and ammonia, and to reduce certain greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
 
The marketing and sale in the United States and foreign countries of some of our current products and the products we may develop in the future are and may be subject to U.S. and foreign governmental regulations, respectively, which vary substantially from country to country.  The marketing and sale of our Ygiene® products in the United States, is subject to EPA registration and in some cases, FDA clearance, and we cannot market and sell any of such products in the United States until such registration or clearance is obtained.  We do not believe the marketing and sale of our Ogiene® products are subject to EPA registration or FDA clearance.  We have not had significant sales of our Ygiene® or Ogiene® products to date.  We currently are focusing our efforts and resources on obtaining the registrations, clearances and approvals necessary to market and sell our Ygiene® products in the United States; however, we cannot assure you that we will be have the financial resources to do so or that such registrations, clearances and approvals will be obtained on a timely basis, if at all.

Plan of Operation

Our strategic plan for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2013 is focused on leveraging developments in the United States for our Ygiene® professional disinfectant product. The Company received approval and registration from the EPA for its hospital and industrial grade line of products to be used as high level disinfectant and sterilants.
 
In connection with the February 28, 2011 approval and registration from the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) in response to the Company's regulatory application for its Ygiene® 206 sterilant formulation, the Company has secured 32 state approvals to market and distribute Ygiene® 206.  These approvals are primarily in states east of the Mississippi River.  The Company is pursuing approvals in the remaining 18 states as needed.
 
 
20

 

Currently, we are focusing our efforts on the commercialization of a Ygiene® formulation for healthcare and industrial applications.  Some of our potential customers that operate in the healthcare marketplace require product testing and trials before purchasing our products.  We have retained four professional sales persons with experience selling specialty chemicals such as ours.  In doing so, we are investing our resources in their process to market and sell our products.  We are developing our Ogiene® products to potentially eliminate or reduce odors of many chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde and ammonia, and to reduce certain green­house gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.  Our Ogiene® formulations are designed to interact with the functional organic or inorganic groups of harmful gases and reduce or eliminate them.
 
Most of our customer’s perform trial testing of our products prior to purchasing the product which lengthens the sales cycle in some instances.  For calendar 2013 to date, our initial commercialization strategy has led to 40 trials of our products which have been ordered within the market segments of laboratory medical research, acute healthcare, veterinarian care, mold remediation and industrial odor control.  These trials have led to the addition of 9 new customers for our products.  The remaining 31 trials are in process.”
 
We believe, although no assurance can be given, that our products can offer a superior solution that addresses needs not currently being met in the marketplace for combating bacteria, viral and spore based threats. We further believe that our products can provide a distinct advantage when distinguishing them from those that are currently in use in our targeted markets. In addition, our core product is flexible and adaptable for multiple applications.  Industry or use specific modifications made by our professional scientist allow our products to be readily customized to the demands of multiple unique markets.

We are emphasizing these strategic advantages as part of our brand development efforts to overcome competitive barriers to entry in markets that are driven by large, established organizations.  The markets for our Ogiene® and Ygiene® products and each of their potential channels are highly competitive. We have a number of competitors that vary in size and scope and breadth of products offered.  Such competitors include some of the largest corporations in the world, and we believe substantially all of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do, including in the areas of sales, marketing, and branding and product development.  We expect to face additional competition from other competitors in the future.
 
Because Ogiene® and Ygiene® are new formulations enhanced from our initial base formulas, our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to achieve market share at the expense of existing, established and future products in our relevant target markets. Even if we believe that our Ogiene® and Ygiene® formulations may have technological competitive advantages over competing products, we or our potential distributors, will need to invest significant resources in order to attempt to displace traditional technologies sold by what are in many cases well-known international industry leaders.  Alternatively, we may pursue strategies in selective markets of encouraging existing competitors to incorporate our products into their existing brands, thereby reducing the proportion of end-use revenues that would accrue to us.  To the extent that we were to grant any existing competitor exclusivity to any field and/or territory, we would risk having our technology marketed in a manner that may be less than optimal for us.  We recognize that innovative marketing methods may be required in order to establish our products, and that such methods may not be successful.
 
Results of Operations

Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and for the three months ended April 30, 2012.

Other Income and Expense for the six months ended April 30, 2013 were $(84,858), a 431% decrease of $110,465 over amounts for six months ended April 30, 2012 which were $25,607.  The decrease primarily reflects a reduction of costs incurred during for 2013 relating to a credit to consulting expense of $238,750 received pursuant to the settlement with Vinfluence.  The credit provided was a reimbursement of bonus compensation paid to Dr. Andy Kielbania for the year ended October 2011.  For 2013, the Company recorded non-cash amortization of debt discount of $(212,361) and non-cash charge for change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability of $124,606.  For 2012 certain promissory notes were settled by Vinfluence carried interest expense reductions which in turn led to reversals of previously recorded interest expense.
 
Net Loss:  We experienced a net loss from operations before consideration of our Non-Controlling interest of $1,305,583 for the six months ended April 30, 2013. The discussion of operating expenses identifies the elements of the net loss.  For the same period in 2012, our net loss was $1,280,440.  We anticipate we will experience a net loss in fiscal 2013 as we continue to pursue regulatory approvals and further identify markets for the sale and distribution of our products.

Analysis of Impairment
 
In conjunction with our 2012 audit, we performed our annual impairment testing during January 2012.  In this analysis, we determined that the current carrying value of our Intellectual Property was $9,958,222.
 
We computed the Intellectual Property value of using an undiscounted cash model. In our undiscounted cash flow analysis, we prepared a five year forecast of our expected earnings to derive an explicit stream of expected free cash flows through October 31, 2017. We developed our revenue and direct variable costs forecast based on a variety of factors including our current and anticipated sales pipeline, knowledge of our business and industry, general economic conditions in the marketplace and expectations of market opportunity with respect to the specific types of advertising services we provide. Our operating expenses are generally fixed and predictable; however, we increased our budgeted operating expenses by an amount that we believe is approximately equal to theoretical lease costs we would incur had our parent company not provided us with facilities that are not a component of operating costs in our goodwill reporting unit. After having determined the amount of our explicit year cash flows, we assumed that the Company would experience a long-term growth rate in free cash flows of 2% per annum thereafter. We then multiplied our cash flows by a marginal federal and state tax rate of 40% to derive our after-tax yearly cash flows.  The range of Intellectual Property values we derived using the above amounted to $41,431,530, which exceeds the carrying value of our Intellectual Property of $9,958,222.
 
Our initial commercialization strategy, which was utilized as a basis for our 2012 impairment testing, contained a forecast that called for material sales to begin to occur in April of 2013.  However, primarily due to the lead time involved with the following activities: 1) sales force orientation and training; 2) production of selling materials and 3) a relatively long sales cycle that includes product trial testing, we have lowered our 2013 revenue forecast to $1,120,000.  We forecast to make up the difference between our original forecast and our current forecast in calendar years 2014 and 2015, and the effect of our revision is not anticipated to have a significant impact on our valuation.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had $4,519 of cash at April 30, 2013.  Cash used in operations for the six months ended April 30, 2013 was $517,657. The principal use of funds were for consulting services supporting the development of our business plan, legal and accounting fees in connection with becoming a public company and daily operations of the business, including rent, travel and laboratory costs.

For the six months Ended April 30, 2013, we raised $521,500 of cash from the issuance of convertible debentures.  

We are not currently generating significant revenues and rely on raising new capital to fund our ongoing operations and development of our strategic business objectives. We have been able to use proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock to fund a substantial balance of our operating costs. On December 12, 2012 we issued a convertible promissory note to JMJ financial in the amount of $250,000 of which we received an initial $110,000 in payments.  We expect to receive additional payments from JMJ under the note at various intervals during the calendar year 2013.  
 
On October 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock compensation plan for professionals and consultants.  The Plan was approved by the Board, on November 7, 2012 and the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-8 for issuance of up to ten (10) million shares pursuant to the stock compensation plan.  We plan to fund a portion of our expenses by issuing shares of our S-8 common stock to consultants and professionals.
 
On December 11, 2012, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (“Equity Line of Credit”) with Southridge Partners II, LP for an equity line of up to $10,000,000. Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, at its discretion, to sell to Southridge up to $10 million of its common stock from time to time over a 36-month period. The Company will have the right, but is not obligated, to sell stock to Southridge depending on certain conditions as set forth in the Agreement.  We are currently responding to questions from the SEC regarding our registration statement.  We need to have approval from SEC before we can begin using the Equity Line.

The Company believes that we will be able to generate significant sales by the fourth quarter of 2013 providing for sufficient cash flows to supplement our equity financing.  If we are able to execute our plan, the Company can begin to accumulate cash reserves.  There is no assurance based on our current plans, however that our funds will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs through our fiscal year 2013, and we may need to raise additional capital during fiscal 2013 to fund the full costs associated with our growth and development. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its business development initiatives, impair its intellectual property and take additional measures to reduce cost in order to conserve cash.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
