PART I |
ITEM 1. BUSINESS. Business Development |
We were incorporated in the State of Utah on June 29, 1983, under the name Teal Eye, Inc. We merged with Terzon Corporation and changed our name to Terzon Corporation in 1984. We subsequently changed our name to Candy Stripers Candy Corporation. We were engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling candy and gift items to hospital gift shops across the country. We were traded Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for several years. In 1986 we ceased the candy manufacturing operations and filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. After emerging from Bankruptcy in 1993, we remained dormant until January 1998, when we changed our name to Piedmont, Inc. On May 13, 2003, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Piedmont, Inc. to US Biodefense, Inc.
We are focused on encouraging the development, manufacture and commercialization of biologic products for the prevention and treatment of human infectious disease. Our current business strategy focuses on the potential commercialization of biologic products to counter potential bioterrorism threats.
On February 15, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with an independent consultant to assist with the development of its NIH SBIR Grant proposal related to the creation of a Stem Cell Research Center of Excellence. The consultant will serve as a Scientific Advisor to the Company and will assist with grant writing editing and review of a letter of intent and final proposal for the Stem Cell Center of Excellence. The agreement has a term of one year, which may be extended upon agreement by both parties. As compensation for entering into the agreement, the consultant will be paid at the rate of $100 per hour.
On February 23, 2005, we entered into an Option Agreement with UCL Biomedica Plc to license patent rights applications related to the development of artificial liver and therapeutic re-population in patients with liver disease in exchange for ₤13,245.53. This option agreement gave us a non-exclusive license for European Patent Application No. 02743434.9 and U.S. patent application 10/483,190 entitled Liver cell progenitor and use for the treatment of liver disease and related foreign applications with UCL BioMedica Plc., a wholly owned subsidiary of University College London. Our goal was to evaluate the hepatic stem cell sorting and enrichment technology, which can be applied to gene therapy and liver re-population technology and will release more detailed information about the Hepatic Stem Cell technology and potential applications, including gene therapy and re-population in patients with liver disease.
On February 28, 2005, we launched T2X.us, a High Tech Transfer Search Engine, which is developing a search engine identifying intellectual property modeling the functionality of general portal search engines like Google (NasdaqNM:GOOG - News), Yahoo (NasdaqNM:YHOO - News), and LookSmart (NasdaqNM:LOOK - News). U.S. BioDefense staff currently uses the search engine to accelerate the identification of stem cell and biodefense intellectual
property acquisition programs. Programmers are now updating the T2X search engine for more robustness in preparation for a commercial version launch. T2X is a search engine facilitating innovation exchange connecting VC's, small business, and public companies seeking technologies with universities, government agencies and scientists. T2X is an online Technology Transfer Exchange where commercial members can identify technology that is available for licensing or partnering from universities, research labs and scientists.
On May 10, 2005, we entered into an agreement with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center for the priority option to review and license the patent pending technology entitled Use of Non-marrow Stem Cell for Cardiac Regeneration. We paid a fee of $30,000 for the non-exclusive right to review this patent. In the last 60 years, M. D. Anderson has built a reputation for excellence in cancer patient care, research, education and prevention.
On June 20, 2005 we entered into a 24-month patent listing and technology transfer alliance agreement with Diamond I Inc. (OTC BB:DMOI.OB - News), a developer of wireless handheld gaming products. As consideration, we received 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of Diamond I. Under the agreement, U.S. BioDefense will market the intellectual property on its technology transfer exchange web site www.T2X.us. We will focus on assisting Diamond I in generating new revenue channels from potential licensees in order to rapidly bring to market its patent pending biometric security technology. Sellers such as scientists, government agencies, corporations and Universities with technology they wish to out-license provide either an online listing or non-confidential descriptions of their technologies. Each day, buyers can search information online or be matched with confidential opportunities with interests and send complete information to all parties. The site is aggregated so users can freely access VA, SBA, EPA, FEMA, NTTC, and NASA's collection of technologies.
On July 6, 2005 we entered into a six month option to license world patent application WO 03/054202 A1 and U.S. patient application 5,958,767 entitled Generation of Human Neural Crest Stem Cell Line and Its Utilization in Human Transplantation and related applications with the University of British Columbia. This technology was developed by Dr. Seung Kim in the Department of Neurology at UBC. In exchange we paid an option fee of $5,000 to UBC and will evaluate the neural crest stem cell line and its utilization in human transplantation, which can be used to treat brain and spinal cord repair, and will release more detailed information about the neural crest stem cell technology and potential applications, including gene therapy.
On October 15, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Financialnewsusa.com, a related party, to provide consulting services to them in exchange for $40,000. The agreement has a term of six months and may be extended upon agreement by both parties. Either party may cancel the agreement with five days written notice in the event of a material violation of the agreement. Either party may cancel the agreement for any reason upon 30 days written notice. We have been paid $20,000 upon execution of the agreement, with the balance of the contract due in January of 2006. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to attract future customers and continue to generate sales.
Business of Issuer |
Principal Products and Principal Markets |
We plan to evaluate the economic potential of new biological technologies as we discover them. We are not in the business of researching and developing such technologies ourselves. US Biodefense plans to license intellectual property from researchers or organizations to evaluate its commercial feasibility. We plan to develop relationships with universities and private entities to utilize research facilities and manpower to appraise the marketability of the technologies. In the event a technology is found to have viable commercial applications, we will seek third-parties to manufacture items for sale to government and corporate customers. We will rely on marketing, distribution and co-promotion agreements for the dissemination of the items produced.
Our current focus is on evaluating potential commercial applications for cellular and viral inactivation in accordance with the commercial evaluation license agreement we entered into with the United States Public Health Service. The license pertains to a method of rendering viruses, parasites and tumor cells inactive. Once inactivated, these agents can be used as vaccines against diseases caused by their harmful counterparts without the threat of infection.
Vaccination against pathogens has been one of the major accomplishments of medicine in terms of increasing quality and length of life. While effective vaccines have been developed for a large number of diseases, development of
safe and effective vaccines for other diseases remain problematic. The use of inactivated microbial agents, which are essentially microbes that are no longer living organisms, as a vaccine, although generally safe, will not always be effective if the characteristics that would provide immunity from the agents are altered. In most cases, the preferential degradation of certain properties of the inactivated microorganism might produce a weak or poorly targeted immune response that permits a less than ideal response when the host is later challenged with the live microorganism. On the other hand, while the exposure to live attenuated microbial agents as vaccines will often provide improved immunity, use of such live agents increases the risk that the vaccine itself will be infectious. Thus, there is generally a trade-off between improved effectiveness and a greater degree of safety when selecting between the viral inactivation and viral attenuation techniques in the preparation of vaccines.
Distribution Methods of Our Products |
Our marketing activities will be focused on key vertical markets and will be primarily conducted by our management and any independent contractors we have employ. Our marketing approach will begin with the development of information concerning the requirements of our potential customers for the types of technical services that we provide. This information is gathered in the course of contract performance, reviewing requests for competitive bids, formal briefings, participation in professional organizations and published literature. This information is then evaluated in order to devise and implement the best means of taking advantage of available business opportunities, including the preparation of proposals responsive to the stated and perceived needs of customers. Our products may be marketed with the assistance of independent sales representatives. We have not yet implemented any marketing activities and have not determined when we may begin to do so.
Competitive Business Conditions and the Issuers Competitive Position
Our business is highly competitive. We have a large number of competitors, all of which have been established longer and have substantially greater financial resources and larger technical staffs. We also compete with specialized entities that are able to concentrate their resources on particular areas. We may also compete with the U.S. Government's own in-house capabilities and federal non-profit contract research centers.
We compete on the basis of technical expertise, management and marketing abilities and price. Our continued success is dependent upon our ability to hire and retain highly qualified scientists, engineers, technicians, management and professional personnel who will provide superior service and performance on a cost-effective basis.
Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts, including duration
On February 23, 2005, we entered into a 90 day Option Agreement with UCL Biomedica Plc to license patent rights applications related to the development of artificial liver and therapeutic re-population in patients with liver disease in exchange for ₤13,245.53. This option agreement gave us a non-exclusive license for European Patent Application No. 02743434.9 and U.S. patent application 10/483,190 entitled Liver cell progenitor and use for the treatment of liver disease and related foreign applications with UCL BioMedica Plc., a wholly owned subsidiary of University College London.
On May 10, 2005, we entered into an agreement with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center for the priority option to review and license the patent pending technology entitled Use of Non-marrow Stem Cell for Cardiac Regeneration. We paid a fee of $30,000 for the non-exclusive right to review this patent. In the last 60 years, M. D. Anderson has built a reputation for excellence in cancer patient care, research, education and prevention.
On July 6, 2005 we entered into a six month option to license world patent application WO 03/054202 A1 and U.S. patient application 5,958,767 entitled Generation of Human Neural Crest Stem Cell Line and Its Utilization in Human Transplantation and related applications with the University of British Columbia. This technology was developed by Dr. Seung Kim in the Department of Neurology at UBC. In exchange we paid an option fee of $5,000 to UBC and will evaluate the neural crest stem cell line and its utilization in human transplantation, which can be used to treat brain and spinal cord repair, and will release more detailed information about the neural crest stem cell technology and potential applications, including gene therapy.
Need for Government Approval
As part of our strategy, we will be dependent upon contracts from U.S. government agencies. All U.S. government contracts and subcontracts may be modified, curtailed or terminated at the convenience of the government if program requirements or budgetary constraints change. If a contract is terminated for convenience, we will be generally reimbursed for our allowable costs, as determined by the government through the date of termination and will be paid a proportionate amount of the stipulated profit or fee attributable to the work actually performed. Contract and program modifications, curtailments or terminations may have a material adverse effect on our operations.
In addition, the U.S. government may terminate a contract for default. A termination could have a significant adverse impact on our business and reputation. If a contract is terminated for default, we may be unable to recover amounts billed or billable under the contract and may be liable for other costs and damages.
Effect of existing or probable government regulations |
The terrorist attacks of September through November 2001 in the United States changed political and budgetary attitudes towards bioterrorism threats. We believe that the U.S. government has recognized that it must provide incentives for private industry to develop and manufacture biodefense products. On October 1, 2003, Congress passed the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2004 which includes $5.6 billion over a 10-year period for the purchase of medical countermeasures against bioterrorist attacks. The HSAA allows up to $885 million of this to be spent in fiscal year 2004 and a maximum of $3.4 billion through fiscal year 2008. These purchases are expected to commence in the governments 2004 fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2003.
In January 2003, President Bush announced Project BioShield with the intention of accelerating the availability of effective countermeasures against bioterrorism. If passed, Project BioShield would increase the NIHs authorities and flexibility to facilitate the development of new products for biodefense, establish a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) emergency use authorization and provide an efficient mechanism for biodefense vaccine purchase. In July 2003, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Project BioShield legislation by a vote of 421-to-2. The legislation is pending approval in the U.S. Senate.
The technology we are evaluating, if deemed commercially viable, will be subject to federal regulation in the United States, principally by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and by state and local governments, as well as regulatory and other authorities in foreign governments. Such regulations govern or influence, among other things, the testing, manufacture, safety and efficacy requirements, labeling, storage, record keeping, licensing, advertising, promotion, distribution and export of products, manufacturing and the manufacturing process. In many foreign countries, such regulations also govern coverage and the prices charged for products under their respective national social security systems. The potential resultant products we seek to bring to market will be considered biological drug products. Biologics are subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries. This process is lengthy and we will not be able generate revenues in the event any potential biologic application is denied.
Amount spent during each of the last two fiscal years on research and development
We do not conduct research and development activities in-house. We contract with third-party laboratories and research facilities to conduct a significantly all of our research and development activities. As a result, we have incurred a total of $98,796 in research and development related expenses over the past two fiscal years.
Employees |
We do not have any employees. Instead, we presently rely on the efforts of our President, David Chin, who devotes an average of 10 hours per week to our operations. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by a one individual. While we believe that the addition of employees is not required over the next 12 months, we may contract independent contracts to assist in the implementation and/or marketing of our business. These representatives are not intended to be employees of our company.
Reports to Security Holders |
Annual Reports
We intend to furnish our shareholders with audited annual financial reports certified by our independent registered public accountants, and may, in our discretion, furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports.
Periodic Reports with the SEC |
We are a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We file annual reports on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended as required to maintain the fully reporting status.
Availability of Filings |
You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20002. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Our SEC filings will be available on the SEC Internet site, located at http://www.sec.gov.
Risk Factors |
We may not be able to attain profitability without additional funding, which may be unavailable.
We have limited capital resources. To date, we have funded our operations from the sale of equity securities and have generated limited cash from operations. Unless we begin to generate sufficient recurring revenues to finance operations as a going concern, we may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force us to go out of business if additional financing is not available. No alternative sources of funds are available to us in the event we are unable to locate adequate capital.
Our independent registered public accountants have qualified their report to express substantial doubt about our companys ability to continue as a going concern.
As of the date of this annual report, we have an accumulated deficit in the amount of $3,785,355. Taking this fact into account, our independent registered public accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report to the financial statements included in this annual report. If our business fails, you may face a complete loss of your investment.
We do not have any facilities appropriate for clinical testing, we lack significant manufacturing experience and we have very limited sales and marketing personnel. We are currently dependent upon our acquiring licenses or others for several of these functions and will likely remain dependent upon others for these functions.
We do not have a manufacturing facility that can be used for production of our products. In addition, at this time, we have very limited sales and marketing personnel. We are currently dependent upon our licensees or others for several of these functions and in the course of our development program, we will likely be required to enter into additional arrangements with other companies or universities or clinical investigators for our animal testing, human clinical testing, manufacturing, and sales and marketing activities. If our licensees breach their obligations under our license agreements to perform these functions or we are otherwise unable to retain third parties for these purposes on acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop, manufacture and market our proposed products. In addition, any failures by third parties to adequately perform their responsibilities may delay the submission of our proposed products for regulatory approval, impair our ability to deliver our products on a timely basis or otherwise impair our competitive position. Our dependence on third parties for the development, manufacture, sale and marketing of our products also may adversely affect our profit margins.
We intend to continue to license our vaccine candidates from third parties and there is no guarantee that any candidate will be economically viable.
We currently license for commercial evaluation a viral and cellular inactivation technology and intend to continue to license further biotechnology from third-parties. We do not conduct our own research and development activities. The technology we license and any future technology we may license are unproven and may be unsuitable
for commercial use. In the event we are unable to commercialize any licensed technology, we will be unable to generate revenues. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that, if the licensed technology is deemed commercially viable, we will be able to obtain sales and marketing agreements, in which case we will be unable to generate revenues.
Product development efforts may not yield marketable products due to results of studies or trials, failure to achieve regulatory approvals or market acceptance, proprietary rights of others or manufacturing issues.
Our success depends on our ability to identify commercial applications, successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval to market new biopharmaceutical products. We expect that a significant portion of the technology that we will evaluate will involve new and unproven technologies. Our potential products may appear to be promising at various stages of development yet fail to reach the market for a number of reasons, including the:
1. | lack of adequate quality or sufficient prevention benefit, or unacceptable safety during pre-clinical studies or clinical trials; |
2. | failure to receive necessary regulatory approvals; |
3. | existence of proprietary rights of third parties; or |
4. | inability to develop manufacturing methods that are efficient, cost-effective and capable of meeting stringent regulatory standards. |
We will be significantly dependent upon contracts with the U.S. government. If we are unable to obtain contracts to supply the U.S. government, we may not be able to continue our business.
The process of obtaining U.S. government contracts is lengthy and uncertain and we must compete for each contract. Moreover, the award of one government contract does not necessarily secure the award of future contracts covering the same vaccine. We cannot be certain that we will be awarded any future contracts with the U.S. government. We currently have no products to sell. However, upon commencement of our operations, of which we cannot assure you, if we are unable to obtain contract awards to supply our products to the U.S. government, our business will be harmed and it is unlikely that we will be able to ultimately commercialize any particular vaccine.
If we are unable to commercialize vaccine candidates, we will be unable to generate revenues.
The determination of when and whether a product is ready for large scale purchase and potential use will be made by the government through consultation with a number of governmental agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and the Department of Homeland Security. President Bush has proposed, and Congress is considering, measures to accelerate the development of biodefense products through NIH funding, the review process by the FDA and the final government procurement contracting authority. While this may help speed the approval of any prospective future vaccine candidates, it may also encourage competitors to develop their own vaccine candidates. If competitive vaccine candidates gain approval, we could face severe competition, which could harm our business.
Vaccine development is a long, expensive and uncertain process, and delay or failure can occur at any stage of clinical trials.
To develop vaccine candidates, we or our agents must provide the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities with clinical data that demonstrate adequate safety and immune response. Statistically significant effectiveness of our biodefense product candidates cannot initially be demonstrated in humans, but instead must be demonstrated, in part, by utilizing animal models before they can be approved for commercial sale. Vaccine development to show adequate evidence of effectiveness in animal models and safety and immune response in humans is a long, expensive and uncertain process, and delay or failure can occur at any stage of our animal studies or clinical trials. Any delay or significant adverse clinical events arising during any of our clinical trials could force us to abandon a vaccine candidate altogether or to conduct additional clinical trials in order to obtain approval from the FDA or foreign regulatory bodies. These development efforts and clinical trials are lengthy and expensive, and the outcome is uncertain. If we are unable to successfully develop our vaccine candidates, our revenues will suffer and our stock price is likely to decline.
The independent clinical investigators that we intend to rely upon to conduct clinical trials may not be diligent, careful or timely and may make mistakes in the conduct of our clinical trials.
We intend to rely on independent clinical investigators to conduct our clinical trials. The investigators are not our employees, and we cannot control the amount or timing of resources that they devote to our vaccine development programs. If independent investigators fail to devote sufficient time and resources to our vaccine development programs, or if their performance is substandard, it may delay FDA approval of our vaccine candidates. These independent investigators may also have relationships with other commercial entities, some of which may compete with us. If these independent investigators assist our competitors at our expense, it could harm our competitive position.
Political or social factors may delay or impair our ability to market vaccine products.
Products developed to treat diseases caused by or to combat the threat of bioterrorism will be subject to changing political and social environments. The political and social responses to bioterrorism have been highly charged and unpredictable. Political or social pressures may delay or cause resistance to bringing our products to market or limit pricing of our products, which would harm our business.
We may fail to protect our intellectual property or may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, either of which could harm our business.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may be unable to prevent other companies from using our technology in competitive products. If we infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we may be prevented from developing or marketing our product candidates. We rely on patent and other intellectual property protection to prevent our competitors from manufacturing and marketing our product candidates. Our technology, including technology licensed from the National Institute of Health, or that we may license in the future, if any, will be protected from unauthorized use by others only to the extent that it is covered by valid and enforceable patents or effectively maintained as trade secrets. The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in biotechnology patents has emerged to date. Accordingly, we cannot predict the scope and breadth of patent claims that may be afforded to other companies patents. In addition, we could incur substantial costs in litigation if we are required to defend against patent suits brought by third parties, or if we initiate these suits.
Because of competitive pressures from competitors with more resources we may fail to implement our business model profitably.
We are entering a highly competitive market segment. Our expected competitors include several larger and more established companies in the biodefense and pharmaceutical industries. Generally, our actual and potential competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger research and development staffs and facilities, greater experience in drug development and in obtaining regulatory approvals, and greater marketing capabilities than we do. Our competitors include fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies that currently have drug and target discovery efforts, as well as universities and public and private research institutions. Our commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and market products that we target. Researchers are continually learning more about diseases, which may lead to new technologies for treatment. Our competitors may succeed in developing and marketing products either that are more effective than those that we may develop, alone or with our collaborators, or that are marketed before any products we develop are marketed.
We currently do not have an internal marketing and sales force and may rely on third parties for the sales or marketing of some or all of our vaccines if they are successfully developed. Our dependence on third parties may delay or impair our ability to generate revenues, or adversely affect our profitability.
We lack any sales or marketing history, and as of present do not have plans on developing internally such capability. We intend to rely on third parties for the sales and marketing of our products to entities other than the U.S. and foreign governments. Our lack of sales and marketing personnel and distribution relationships may impair our ability to generate revenues.
Failure to hire and retain key management employees could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing, develop our products, conduct clinical trials or execute our business strategy.
We are highly dependent on our senior management. These individuals have played a critical role in raising capital and negotiating business development opportunities. If we lose the services of any key members of senior management and we are unable to recruit qualified replacements where we deem it necessary, we may be unable to achieve our business objectives.
Our management is involved with other business activities, which could reduce the time they allocate to our operations.
Our operations depend substantially on the skills and experience of Mr. David Chin, our President. Mr. Chin is involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, one or more of these individuals may face a conflict in selecting between US Biodefense and his other business interests. We have not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
Our stock is a speculative investment that may result in losses to investors.
The trading price of our common stock is subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which, without a direct relationship to the operating performance, may affect the market price of our stock.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Description of Property |
US Biodefense, Inc. has its headquarters in California. The mailing address is US Biodefense, Inc., 13674 E. Valley Blvd., City of Industry, CA 91746, phone: (626) 961-8039. This office is provided by our officer and director at a charge of $3,000, which includes rent and various shared expenses, which include a receptionist, various office equipment and furniture and utilities expense. There are currently no proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of the facilities we currently use. We believe that this arrangement is suitable given the nature of our current operations, and also believe that we will not need to lease additional administrative offices for at least the next 12 months.

In general, under Rule 144 as amended, a person who has beneficially owned and held "restricted" securities for at least one year, including "affiliates," may sell publicly without registration under the Securities Act, within any three-month period, assuming compliance with other provisions of the Rule, a number of shares that do not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the common stock then outstanding or, (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. A person who is not deemed an "affiliate" of our Company and who has beneficially owned shares for at least two years would be entitled to unlimited resales of such restricted securities under Rule 144 without regard to the volume and other limitations described above.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview |
We were incorporated in the State of Utah on June 29, 1983, under the name Teal Eye, Inc. We merged with Terzon Corporation and changed our name to Terzon Corporation in 1984. We subsequently changed our name to Candy Stripers Candy Corporation. We were engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling candy and gift items to hospital gift shops across the country. We were traded Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for several years. In 1986 we ceased the candy manufacturing operations and filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. After emerging from Bankruptcy in 1993, we remained dormant until January 1998, when we changed our name to Piedmont, Inc. On May 13, 2003, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Piedmont, Inc. to US Biodefense, Inc. We are a registered government contractor with the Department of Defense Logistics Agency that is focused on designing ad developing homeland security and biodefense products.
www.T2X.us |
On February 28, 2005, we launched T2X.us, a High Tech Transfer Search Engine, which is developing a
search engine identifying intellectual property. U.S. BioDefense staff currently uses the search engine to accelerate the identification of stem cell and biodefense intellectual property acquisition programs. T2X is a search engine facilitating innovation exchange connecting VC's, small business, and public companies seeking technologies with universities, government agencies and scientists. Programmers are now updating the T2X search engine for more robustness in preparation for a commercial version launch. We do not expect to generate any revenues from this business segment for at least the 12 months of operations.
Diamond I, Inc. |
On June 20, 2005 we entered into a patent listing and technology transfer alliance agreement with Diamond I Inc. (OTC BB:DMOI.OB - News), a developer of wireless handheld gaming products. Under the agreement, U.S. BioDefense will market the intellectual property on its technology transfer exchange web site www.T2X.us. We will focus on assisting Diamond I in generating new revenue channels from potential licensees in order to rapidly bring to market its patent pending biometric security technology. Sellers such as scientists, government agencies, corporations and Universities with technology they wish to out-license provide either an online listing or non-confidential descriptions of their technologies. Each day, buyers can search information online or be matched with confidential opportunities with interests and send complete information to all parties. The site is aggregated so users can freely access VA, SBA, EPA, FEMA, NTTC, and NASA's collection of technologies.
Financialnewsusa.com, Inc. |
On October 15, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Financialnewsusa.com, a related party, to provide consulting services to them in exchange for $40,000. The agreement has a term of six months and may be extended upon agreement by both parties. Either party may cancel the agreement with five days written notice in the event of a material violation of the agreement. Either party may cancel the agreement for any reason upon 30 days written notice. We have been paid $20,000 upon execution of the agreement, with the balance of the contract due in January of 2006. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to attract future customers and continue to generate sales.
<R>Results of Operations |
Revenues |
Our revenues totaled $159,166 for the current fiscal year ended November 30, 2005, compared to $29,167 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004. The increase in revenues represent a year-over-year increase of 446%, which was due in part to our contracts with Financialnewsusa.com and Diamond I, Inc. Revenues for the year ended November 30, 2004 were attributable solely to the May 1, 2004 agreement with Financialnewsusa.com, a related party, to provide consulting services to them in exchange for $50,000, for which we were paid in advance the entire balance of the contract.
Other than our agreement with Financialnewsusa.com and Diamond I, we do not have any long-term agreements to provide our services to any single customer or group of customers. As a result, we are unable to predict the stability of, and ability to continue to generate, ongoing revenues.
Expenses |
Total expenses for the year ended November 30, 2005 were $195,572. In the comparable year ago period ended November 30, 2004, we incurred total expenses of $58,131. Aggregate expenses increased approximately 236%, or $137,441, due primarily to an increase of 2,623%, or $91,796, in research and development costs from $3,500 during the year ended November 30, 2004, to $95,296 in the year ended November 30, 2005. The significant increase in attributable to the various intellectual property option and licensing agreements entered into during the year ended November 30, 2005. We believe obtaining and maintaining such licenses for intellectual property is a significant aspect of our business plan and will continue for the next at least 12 months.
An expenditure we did not have in the prior year ended November 30, 2004 that we began recognizing in the most recent year ended November 30, 2005 is occupational costs and expenses in the amount of $36,000. These expenses encompass $13,000 in rent expense and $23,000 of miscellaneous shared overhead such as a receptionist, various office equipment and furniture and utilities expense. We expect occupational costs to continue to be incurred
over the next at least 12 months. |
General and administrative expenses increased 199% year over year from $3,535 in 2004 to $10,575 in 2005. Or management believes the rise in these expenditures are correlated with our increased business activities and pursuit of our business objectives. General and administrative expenses mainly consist of office expenditures such as postage and delivery fees, supplies and other similar miscellaneous items. We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future, although we cannot estimate the extent of these costs.
Due to our increased operational activities, we contracted services from outside parties, including attorneys, accountants and consultants. As a result, total expenses paid in relation to consulting and outside services and professional fees grew 56%, or $26,096, from the year ended November 30, 2004 to $33,313 during the year ended November 30, 2005. Our management believes that the growth of our company is dependent upon the services provided by individuals who are not our employees. Additionally, outsourcing is important in lowering fixed costs, so we expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
In spite of the trend of higher overall expenses, our payroll decreased from $25,000 in the year ended November 30, 2004 to $20,389 for the year ended November 30, 2005. The sole reason for the decrease in payroll expenses is the full expense of the remaining balance of common stock issued to David Chin, our President, in accordance with his employment agreement. We currently do not have any employment agreements outstanding with any individual, thus we may not incur payroll expenses in the near future. However, we cannot predict with certainty whether or not we will hire personnel in the next 12 months.
We expect to continue to incur expenditures in the foreseeable future related to ongoing research and development and the expansion of our business operations. As we continue to pursue research and development efforts, we expect expenses to stabilize over the next several years. Unfortunately, we cannot accurately estimate the extent or impact of ongoing expenses.
Losses |
Our loss before accounting for income taxes totaled $36,406 for the year ended November 30, 2005, compared to a loss before income taxes of $28,964 in the prior period. After factoring income taxes of $9,596 in the year ended November 30, 2005, our net loss from operations totaled $46,002. In the prior year ended November 30, 2004, we did not recognize any income taxes, thus our net loss was $28,964. This represents a widening deficit of 59%, or $17,038, in a year-to-year comparison. Although we anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses, we expect these losses to narrow in year-to-year comparison as we generate increased revenues and as expenses begin to plateau over the next several years. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our expectations.</R>
Liquidity And Capital Resources |
We have limited cash on hand, and may be unable to continue operations for the next at least 12 months if we are unable to generate revenues or obtain capital infusions by issuing equity or debt securities in exchange for cash. If we are unable to obtain capital through issuances of equity or debt, David Chin, a shareholder and President of our company, has verbally agreed to loan us cash, which shall bear no interest and be due upon demand. As of November 30, 2005, David Chin loaned us a total of $4,313 to pay for general and administrative expenses. The loan bears no interest and is due upon demand. As of November 30, 2005, the amount owed is $1,812. We have no formal written agreement with Mr. Chin for any further loans, and we cannot guarantee you that we will be able to enforce our verbal agreement. Notwithstanding this, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional funds in the future to stay in business. Our principal accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we have limited operations.
There are no known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on our revenues from continuing operations.
Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional full- or part- time employees over the next 12 months, as the services provided by our officers and directors appear sufficient at this time. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by a few individuals. While we believe that the addition of employees is not required over the next 12 months, we intend to hire independent contractors to perform research
activities and market any potential products and services we may develop.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. |
We currently do not own any significant plant or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future.
We have not paid for expenses on behalf of any of our directors. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF US BIODEFENSE, INC.
<R>I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of US Biodefense, Inc. as of November 30, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of US Biodefense, Inc. as of November 30, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also discussed in Note 1. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

US Biodefense, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements |
Note 1 Background and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Background |
US Biodefense , Inc. (the "Company"), a Utah corporation is headquartered in the City of Industry, California. The Company is a registered government contractor with the Department of Defense Logistics Agency. The Company is focused on designing and developing homeland security and biodefense products.
The Company was originally incorporated under the name Teal Eye, Inc. in the state of Utah on June 29, 1983. The Company then merged with Terzon Corp. and amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name to Terzon Corp. On September 7, 1984, the Company amended its articles of incorporation changing its name to Candy Stripers Corporation, Inc. On January 6, 1998, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Piedmont, Inc. On May 31, 2003, the Company amended its articles of Incorporation and changed its name to US Biodefense, Inc.
The accompanying financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2005 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Stem Cell Research Institute, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.
Following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies.
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended November 30, 2005 of $46,002 and at November 30, 2005, had an accumulated deficit of $3,877,822. In addition, the Company generates minimal revenue from its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a growing concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management plans to take the following steps that it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence.
Management intends to raise financing through the issuance of its common stock or other means and interests that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward with the development of the homeland security and biodefense products, and stem cell research.
F-7
US Biodefense, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and deferred revenues, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenues when all of the criteria in SAB 104, Topic 13 - Revenue Recognition are met. Revenues are realized or realizable and earned when there exists persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the Company's price to it's customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenues from services under contracts, including consulting, are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. In cases where the services are considered "project" in nature, the Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed. The contracts include the pricing agreed to by the Company and the customer and the criteria for payment. If at the outset of the customer arrangement the Company determines that the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable or that collectibility is not probable, the Company defers the revenues and recognizes the revenues when the arrangement fee becomes due and payable or as cash is received when collectibility concerns exist.
Deferred revenues consists of amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized on consulting services. Deferred revenues are subsequently recorded as revenues in a subsequent period using the revenue recognition policies.
Concentration of Credit Risk |
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents.
The Company maintains its cash in well-known banks selected based upon management's assessment of the bank's financial stability. Balances may periodically exceed the $100,000 federal depository insurance limit; however, the Company has not experienced any losses on deposits. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required.

Cash Equivalents |
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalent.
Comprehensive Income |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. For the years ended November 30, 2005, the Company has items that represent other comprehensive income, and accordingly, has included a schedule of comprehensive income in the financial statements.
Advertising Costs |
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There were no advertising costs for the years ended November 30, 2005 and 2004.
Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Segment Reporting |
Based on the Company's integration and management strategies, the Company operated in a single business segment for the year ended November 30, 2005.
Loss per Share |
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," the basic income / (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of November 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company does not have any equity or debt instruments outstanding that can be converted into common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Under APB 25, compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period based on the excess, if any, on the date of the grant of the deemed fair value of the Company's shares over the employee's exercise price. When the exercise price of the employee share options is less than the fair value price of the underlying shares on the grant date, deferred stock compensation is recognized and amortized to expense in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28 over the vesting period of the individual options. Accordingly, because the exercise price of the Company's employee options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Options or shares awards issued to non-employees are valued using the fair value method and expensed over the period services are provided.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset, including associated intangibles, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, associated with the asset or the asset's estimated fair value to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow is required.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, Consolidation Financial Statements). Interpretation 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of entities to which the usual condition of consolidation described in ARB-5 does not apply. The Interpretation changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. The general requirement to consolidate under ARB-51 is based on the presumption that an enterprise's financial statement should include all of the entities in which it has a controlling financial interest (i.e., majority voting interest). Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. A company that consolidated a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. In December 2003, the FASB concluded to revise certain elements of FIN 46, primarily to clarify the required accounting for interests in variable interest entities. FIN-46R replaces FIN-46. that was issued in January, 2003. FIN-46R exempts certain entities from its requirements and provides for special effective dates for entities that have fully or partially applied FIN-46 as of December 24, 2003. In certain situations, entities have the option of applying or continuing to apply FIN-46 for a short period of time before applying IN-46R. In general, for all entities that were previously considered special purpose entities, FIN 46 should be applied for registrants who file under Regulation SX in periods ending after March 31, 2004, and for registrants who file under Regulation SB, in periods ending after December 15, 2004. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

During April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149 - "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective for contracts entered into or modified after September 30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships designated after September 30, 2003. In addition, except as stated below, all provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The provisions of this Statement that relate to Statement 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. In addition, paragraphs 7(a) and 23(a), which relate to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be applied to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after September 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150 - "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity", effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for public entities at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instrument with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a freestanding financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Element of Financial Statements. The adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which replaces the previously issued Statement. The revised Statement increases the existing disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. However, it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans as required under SFAS No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Specifically, the revised Statement requires companies to provide additional disclosures about pension plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, and benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. Also, companies are required to provide a breakdown of plan assets by category, such as debt, equity and real estate, and to provide certain expected rates of return and target allocation percentages for these asset categories. The Company has implemented this pronouncement and has concluded that the adoption has no material impact to the financial statements.
In December, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 104 supersedes SAB 11, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC's Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (the FAQ) issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic, 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104, which was effective upon issuance. The adoption of SAB 104 did not impact the financial statements.

In March, 2004, the FASB approved the consensus reached on the Emerging Issues Task Forces (ETIF) Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure requirements for investments for investments are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 204, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1 that delays the effective date of the measurement and recognition are effective only for annual periods ending after June15,2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 and does not believe it will have an impact to the Company's overall combined results of operations or combined financial position. Once the FASB reaches a final decision on the measurement and recognition provisions, the Company will evaluate the impact of the adoption of EITF 03-1.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 ("SFAS No. 151". The amendments made by SFAS 151 clarify that abnormal amount of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 151, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67" ("SFAS 152") SFAS 152 amends SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate", to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions". SFAS 152 also amends SFAS No. 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects", to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP04-2. SFAS 152 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier applications encouraged. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 152, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Asset, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." The amendments made by SFAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basis measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. That exception required that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, to be recorded on a carryover basis. By focusing the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the FASB believes SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 shall be applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 153, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more compete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued SFAS 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". SFAS 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value based method been used. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
In June, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB") issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB No. 20 and FAS No. 3" ("SFAS No. 154").
SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and
error corrections. It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition require-mints specify to the newly adopted accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in a accounting principle is impractical-able. The correction of an error in previously issued financial statements is not an accounting change. However, the reporting of an error correction involves adjustments to previously issued financial statements similar to those generally applicable to reporting an accounting change retrospectively. Therefore, the reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial is also addressed by SFAS No. 154. SFAS No. 154 is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe its adoption in fiscal year 2007 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In March, 2005, the SEC issued guidance on FASB SFAS 123R, "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS No. 123R"). Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") was issued to assist preparers by simplifying some of the implementation challenges of SFAS No. 123R while enhancing the information that investors receive. SAB 107 creates a framework that is premised on two themes: (a) considerable judgment will be required by preparers to successfully implement SFAS no. 123R, specifically when valuing employee stock options; and (b) reasonable individuals, acting in good faith, may conclude differently on the fair value of employee stock options. Key topics covered by SAB 107 include (a) valuation models - SAB 107 reinforces the flexibility allowed by SFAS No. 123R to choose an option-pricing model that meets the standard's fair value measurement objective; (b) expected volatility - SAB 107 provides guidance on when it would be appropriate to rely exclusively on either historical or implied volatility; and ( c) expected term - the new guidance includes examples and some simplified approaches to determining the expected term under certain circumstances.
The Company will apply the principles of SAAB 107 in conjunction with its adoption of SOFAS No. 123R.

In June, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EAT) issued No. 05-06, "Determining the Abort-inaction Period of Leasehold Improvements Acquired in a Business Combination" (EAT No. 05-06). EAT No. 05-06 provides that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased after the inception of a lease to be the shorter of (a) the useful life of the assets or (b) a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are reasonably assured upon the acquisition of the purchase. The guidance in EAT No. 05-06 will be applied prospectively and is effective for periods beginning afar June 29, 2005. The Company does not believe its adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Note 2 - Marketable Securities Available For Sale
On May 11, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a Partner. The Company will assist the Partner in identifying opportunities for commercialization of their listed technologies, while maintaining the confidentiality of the Partner.
As compensation for providing these services, the Partner gave the Company 5,000,000 shares of Section 144 stock which is restricted from sale for twelve months from date of issue, May 11, 2005. The agreement is for a period of twenty four months.
The Company recorded the stock at market price on the acquisition date which was two cents, or $100,000. The Company recorded revenue for the six month period from May through November, 2005 in the amount of $25,000, with the balance of $75,000 included as deferred revenues on the Company's balance sheet at November 30, 2005.
The Company has adopted SFAS 130 as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. SFAS 130 requires that securities that are available for sale be presented at market value on the balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The specific identification method is used in calculating realized gains and losses. SFAS 30 also requires a statement of comprehensive income which adjusts net income for the unrealized activity. At November 30, 2005, the fair market value of common equity securities with a cost of $100,000 was $150,000. The unrealized gain of $50,000, net of the related income tax cost of $19,150 is included as a component of other comprehensive income.
Note 3 - Licenses |
The Company has agreed to exercise options to license stem cell technology through the University of British Columbia under two option agreements totaling $20,000.
Having passed the initial validation phase, the Company is working toward a full licensing relationship and will begin pre-clinical analysis of how the cell line can be utilized. The Company is considering investigating the stem cells applications in combating ALS and Parkinson's disease.
The licenses are for periods of ten to twenty years. The Company will review the licenses at least annually. When necessary, we record changes for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the present value of future cash flows, or some other fair value measure, is less than the carrying value of the respective asset.
Note 4 - Notes Payable (Including Related Parties)
As of November 30, 2005, an officer and director of the Company loaned the Company a total of $4,313 to pay for general and administrative expenses. The loan bears no interest and is due upon demand. As of November 30, 2005, the amount owed is $1,812.

Note 6 - Illegal Acts |
Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended requires that the independent auditor utilize procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance of detecting illegal acts that would have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts, and identify related party transactions that are material to the financial statements or otherwise require disclosure.
Section 402 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 makes it unlawful for public companies to directly or indirectly extend or maintain credit, or arrange for the extension of credit to their executive officers or directors. The scope of the prohibition on personal loans to executive officers and directors is not clear at this time, and there is little legislative history about Section 402 and the SEC has not yet issued any interpretive guidance concerning Section 402.
The Company has reviewed all arrangements with their directors and executive officers to determine if any could fall within the scope of a personal loan. At various times during the year ended November 30, 2004, the Company advanced loans to its' President. There were three loans which ranged in amount from $30,000 to $45,000, all were repaid within sixty days, and there were no loans outstanding at November 30, 2004. The loans were issued to cover the cost of anticipated business expense and were re-paid timely and promptly. The Company has now established a clear policy that prohibits directors and executive officers from using advances, and other business loans for personal purposes.
Note 7 - Comprehensive income |
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects for the year ended November 30, 2005 are unrealized holding gain on available for sale securities, net of tax benefit of $19,150, for a net comprehensive loss of $30,850.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On March 17, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Beckstead and Watts, LLP as our principal certifying accountants. None of the reports of Beckstead and Watts, LLP on our financial statements contained any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except as follows: Beckstead and Watts, LLPs report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended November 30, 2003 contained a separate paragraph, stating that:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has had limited operations and have not commenced planned principal operations. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During our two most recent fiscal years and during any subsequent interim periods preceding the date of termination, there were no disagreements with Beckstead and Watts, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to Beckstead and Watts, LLPs satisfaction, would have caused them to refer to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with their report; and there were no "reportable events" as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-K.
While auditing our financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2004, Beckstead and Watts, LLP notified our management of certain transactions, which may have been made in violation of Section 402 (a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Beckstead and Watts, LLP discussed a possible expansion of audit procedures. In relation to such expanded audit procedures, Beckstead and Watts, LLP proposed a substantial increase in audit fees.
As of March 18, 2005, we subsequently engaged E. Randall Gruber, CPA as our independent accountant for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2004. During the most recent two fiscal years through March 18, 2005 (the date of engagement), neither we nor anyone engaged on our behalf has consulted with E. Randall Gruber, CPA regarding: (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
A Form 8-K has been filed with the Commission regarding this matter.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
<R>We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, David Chin, who serves as our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Our board of directors was advised by E. Randall Gruber, CPA, PC, our independent registered public accounting firm, that during their performance of audit procedures for 2005 E. Randall Gruber, CPA, PC identified a material weakness as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2 in our internal control over financial reporting.
This deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews. However, our size prevents us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation
of duties within our internal control system, and resultantly, no change to our internal control over financial reporting has been made. Our management is required to apply their judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.<R>
