Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc.
(a development stage enterprise)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Background Information and Basis of Presentation |
Company Background:
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. (the Company), was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 28, 1992 as Arklow Associates, Inc. The Companys operating business is Stem Cell Therapy International Corp. (Stem Cell Florida) a wholly owned subsidiary which is a development stage enterprise and was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 2, 2004. The corporate headquarters is located in Tampa, Florida.
The Company has been engaged in the licensing of stem cell technology, the sales of stem cell products, and information, education, and referral services relating to potential stem cell therapy patients. The Company has established agreements with highly specialized, professional medical treatment facilities around the world in locations where stem cell transplantation therapy is approved by the appropriate local government agencies. In addition, the Company intends to provide these biological solutions containing stem cell products in the United States to universities, institutes and privately funded laboratory facilities for research purposes and clinical trials. Its products, which are available now, include various allo stem cell biological solutions (containing human stem cells), low-molecular proteins and human growth factor hormones. In addition, the Company is currently seeking innovative technology to license or acquire and to bring new technologies into the United States and seek approval for use by the Food and Drug Administration and to continue with research and development activities.
Basis of Presentation:
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2008 as filed in the Form 10-KSB, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2008.
Principles of Consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Cell Therapy International Corp. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
2. | Liquidity and Managements Plans |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and the period since December 2, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008, the Company has had net losses of $1,061,576 and $3,830,741, respectively and cash used by operations of $106,015 and $551,795, respectively, and negative working capital of $1,094,744 at December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to generate additional financing and ultimately increase operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities
10
principally from the sale of equity securities and related party advances. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities and debt financing, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful at achieving its financing goals at reasonably commercial terms, if at all.
On March 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with Histostem Co., Ltd., a Korean company (Histostem). Pursuant to the Agreement (as subsequently amended), the Company will acquire 90% of the issued and outstanding stock of Histostem from Histostems shareholders, and Histostems shareholders will acquire a controlling interest in the Company. The original definitive agreement called for closing of the acquisition by April 30, 2008. Subsequent to closing, the Company will be held approximately 60% by Histostem and 40% by the existing shareholders of the Company. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company will be renamed AmStem International Corp., increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000 and seek a new symbol on the over-the-counter bulletin board.
On April 22, 2008, the Company amended the Agreement to state that Histostem shall have received funding at the date of the actual closing at a minimum of 2 million dollars towards the initial round of funding of at least 10 million dollars. Subsequent to that amendment, the actual closing deadline of April 30, 2008 was no longer in effect.
On June 19, 2008, the Company entered into a second Amendment to the Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement. In accordance with the terms of this second Amendment, the Company and Histostem issued and delivered shares reflecting the acquisition of Histostem into Escrow by the Company pending resolution of outstanding litigation between Histostem Korea and Histostem, Inc. (a United States corporation unrelated to Histostem) (Histostem USA). This essentially effectuates an immediate closing of the Histostem acquisition upon the agreement to an outstanding Histostem legal case. In the Amendment the parties also agreed to complete a one for three reverse stock split of the Companys common stock. That reverse stock split will be completed after filing, mailing and completion of a 14C Information Statement to the Companys shareholders and appropriate notice and filings with the NASD. As of December 31, 2008 and to the date of this filing, both the Companys and Histostems shares of common stock remain in escrow and have not yet been distributed per the terms of the agreement due to the outstanding legal case, which has yet to be settled nor agreed to by both parties as agreed to per the second amendment.
3. | New Accounting Standards |
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of FAS 159 is to provide opportunities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted FAS 159 effective January 1, 2008, but did not elect to measure any financial instruments at fair value. Accordingly, its adoption did not have any effect on its results of operations, statement of position or cash flows.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS. No. 161 on its financial statements.
11
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The current GAAP hierarchy, as set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standard No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, has been criticized because (1) it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, (2) it is complex, and (3) it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts. The FASB believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing this Statement to achieve that result. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 will not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future financial statements.
4. | Notes Payable |
During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company borrowed a total of $45,000 from related parties. One of the notes for $25,000 was immediately repaid, which did not result in any interest payments. The remaining note bears interest at 7% per year and is due on demand. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded $825 in accrued interest in the accompanying balance sheet.
5. | Equity |
During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock valued at $125,000 for consulting services that are to be provided from June 30, 2008 through March 31, 2009.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $120,000 for consulting and legal services provided from October 31, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
Effective June 27, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Newbridge Securities, Corp. (Newbridge) to assist the Company on a best efforts basis in raising approximately $250,000 in a private offering of up to 2 million shares of restricted common stock at a price of $0.125 per share. Newbridge is entitled to a selling concession of 10% of the gross proceeds of the offering, a 3% non-accountable expense allowance and warrant coverage equal to 20% of the total securities placed in the offering, including any penalty shares, at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The Company was required to file a registration statement covering the above securities within 45 days of the completion of the offering which it did not do. The Company has accrued $24,000 in accrued expenses as the value of the underlying shares of common stock to be issued for the Company being unable to meet the registration statement filing requirements. This amount represents the maximum penalty allowed under the agreement.
In anticipation of the closing of the Merger and Reorganization agreement discussed in Note 10, the Company has delivered 72,518,053 shares of its common stock into an escrow account. Also, as part of the Merger and Reorganization Agreement, upon completion of the merger, the Company has included consulting terms with two different consultants for five years in exchange for annual payments of $100,000 each and the annual issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock each. In addition, there are approximately 4,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued upon completion of the acquisition, for services rendered related to the acquisition. Although these terms are referred to in the Merger and Reorganization Agreement, the final consulting agreements have not yet been executed.

6. | Stock Options and Warrants |
During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued 722,222 stock options and 645,000 stock warrants in connection with the sale of common stock. As of December 31, 2008, all of the warrants have expired without being exercised.

There was no aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2008, based on the Companys closing stock price of $0.04. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.
The fair value of each warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the weekly trading of two similar companys underlying common stock (as the Company does not have an adequate trading history for an accurate calculation) and other factors.

There was no aggregate intrinsic value of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2008, based on the Companys closing stock price of $0.04. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the warrants.
7. | Earnings per Share |
Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during the year. The basic and diluted weighted average number of shares was 44,293,179, 36,222,833 and 33,601,290 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period from December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2008, respectively.
Common stock equivalents for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period from December 2, 2004 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2008 were anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company during these periods.
8. | Income Taxes |
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the book values and the tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and the tax effects of net operating loss and capital loss carry forwards. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period that included the enactment date.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109). As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had approximately $1,355,000 and $1,351,000, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has placed a full valuation allowance against these tax benefits due to the Companys uncertainty of how future taxable earnings and future recognition of these tax benefits would affect our effective tax rate.
14
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2004-2007 remain open to examination by one or more of the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and, therefore, no tax liabilities have been incurred for the periods presented. The amount of unused tax losses available to carry forward and apply against taxable income in future years totaled approximately $3,600,000 at December 31, 2008. The loss carry forwards expire beginning in 2025.
9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Consulting Agreements:
The Company has entered into several consulting agreements with other companies and individuals to provide consulting and advisory services to the Company. The agreements provide for terms ranging from one to three years. Additionally, the consulting agreements required the issuance of 5,989,000 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $669,209 on the date of the agreement as the shares are non-forfeitable and non-cancelable. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had issued these shares of common stock and has included $110,000 in prepaid expenses for services not yet performed pursuant to the agreements.
During October 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with an attorney to compensate for services provided from September 2007 through May 2008 in exchange for a 2,000,000 common stock warrant with an exercise price of $0.001 and a 10 year term. The warrant was valued at $419,864 using the Black Scholes pricing model and was recognized over the service period of nine months. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has expensed the value of these warrants for services performed pursuant to the agreements.
In connection with the Merger and Reorganization Agreement discussed in Note 10, upon completion of the merger, the Company has included potential consulting terms with two different consultants for five years in exchange for annual payments of $100,000 each and the annual issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock each. Although these terms are referred to in the Merger and Reorganization Agreement, the final consulting agreements have not yet been executed.
Financing Agreements:
During the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company entered into a three year agreement with a consultant to locate financing. As consideration for these consulting services, the Company has agreed to issue 500,000 shares of restricted common stock and a 10% finders fee for any funds brought into the Company. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has not entered into any funding agreements, and therefore the third party is not owed any consideration.
Consulting Agreement:
Effective September 12, 2007, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Newbridge for business and financial related advice and services through September 11, 2008. As compensation for these services, the Company agreed to pay $4,000 per month and issue a total of 500,000 warrants. In May 2008, the Company and the consultant mutually agreed to terminate this agreement in exchange for the issuance of the original grant of 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock and $24,000 cash. During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the consultant and the Company agreed to reduce the $24,000 payable by $5,000, the amount the consultant owed for the exercise of warrants. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has included the remainder of the amount owed to the consultant of $19,000 in accounts payable.
In March 2008, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement with First Capital Partners LLC to provide consulting services through June 2008 in exchange for 250,000 shares of the Companys restricted common stock valued at $67,500. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded the remaining value of $45,000 as consulting expense in the accompanying statement of operations.
The Company was involved in a legal dispute over the payment and performance of a consulting agreement. The Company contended that the contract never became effective, and therefore the consultant was not entitled to
15
receive compensation. The consultant contended that the Company and its representatives induced them to begin performance of the services early, based on certain promises. The original contract calls for the consultant to be awarded the compensation of 3,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $90,000. During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company and the consultant agreed to terminate the legal dispute and the consultant has provided a release of liability, therefore, the Company has canceled the 3,000,000 shares of common stock.
In April 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mirador Consulting, Inc. to provide management consulting services for three months. The Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $25,000.
In April 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Hunden Consulting Group to provide investor relations services for one year. Fees shall be paid to the consultant only if the consultant introduces the Company, in writing, to a third party investor or merger candidate, then the fees shall equal 10% of the total investment or loan to the Company and if a merger transaction occurs between the Company and a party introduced by the consultant, the consultant would be entitled to receive a 5% commission. As of the date of this filing, the consultant has not provided any services which would require the payment of the commission.
On May 28, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Shea Financial, LLC to provide consulting services for a term of three months in exchange for the right to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share upon a funding commitment to the Company of at least $10 million from consultant funding and $2,500,000 at the closing. To date, the Company has not received any funding under this agreement.
Employment Agreements:
In September 2007, the Company entered into employment agreements with the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. The Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer each have employment agreements for a term of two years, with an annual base salary of $60,000. Additional performance-based bonuses are provided for, and the employees were granted options to purchase 900,000 shares of Company stock. Benefits under the agreement are accelerated on a change of control, and the employee is subject to certain non-competition covenants.
In March 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the Companys President. The employment agreement is for a term of one year and provides for payments of $8,500 per month for the first 90 days, and subsequently, an annual base salary of $225,000. Additional performance-based bonuses are provided for, and the employee was granted options to purchase 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.25 per share. Benefits under the agreement are accelerated on a change of control, and the employee is subject to certain non-competition covenants. Upon execution of the employment agreement, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $55,000.
Contingencies:
On August 22, 2008, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the Agreement) with Princeton Healthcare, Inc. Princeton Healthcare, Inc. and the Company agreed to release and discharge each other, their successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, former directors and officers, from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, fees, costs, interest, attorneys fees and damages that each ever had against the other for a payment of $60,000 and the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has paid $10,000 and issued 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $38,850. The Company was scheduled to pay the remaining $50,000 by October 31, 2008; however, as of the date of this filing, no such payment has been made.
10. | Merger and Reorganization Agreement |
On March 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement and its amendments (the Agreement) with Histostem Co., Ltd., a Korean company (Histostem). Pursuant to the Agreement (as subsequently amended), the Company will acquire 90% of the issued and outstanding stock of Histostem, and Histostems shareholders will acquire a controlling interest in the Company. The original
16
definitive agreement called for closing of the acquisition by April 30, 2008. Subsequent to closing, the Company will be held approximately 60% by Histostem and 40% by the existing shareholders of the Company. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company will be renamed AmStem International Corp., increase the authorized number of shares to 500,000,000 and seek a new symbol on the over-the-counter bulletin board.
On April 22, 2008, the Company amended the Agreement to state that Histostem shall have received funding at the date of the actual closing at a minimum of 2 million dollars towards the initial round of funding of at least 10 million dollars. Subsequent to that amendment, the actual closing deadline of April 30, 2008 was no longer in effect.
On June 19, 2008, the Company entered into a second Amendment to the Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement. In accordance with the terms of this second Amendment, the Company and Histostem issued and delivered shares reflecting the acquisition of Histostem into Escrow by the Company pending resolution of outstanding litigation between Histostem Korea and Histostem, Inc. (a United States corporation unrelated to Histostem) (Histostem USA). This essentially effectuates an immediate closing of the Histostem acquisition upon the agreement to an outstanding Histostem legal case. In the Amendment the parties also agreed to complete a one for three reverse stock split of the Companys common stock. That reverse stock split will be completed after filing, mailing and completion of a 14C Information Statement to the Companys shareholders and appropriate notice and filings with the NASD. As of December 31, 2008 and to the date of this filing, both the Companys and Histostems shares of common stock remain in escrow and have not yet been distributed per the terms of the agreement due to the outstanding legal case, which has yet to be settled nor agreed to by both parties as agreed to per the second amendment.

General Overview
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. (the Company) was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 28, 1992 as Arklow Associates, Inc., and after several name changes was renamed Altadyne, Inc. By March, 2005, the Company (then Altadyne, Inc.) had no assets, liabilities, or ongoing business. On March 20, 2005, R Capital Partners (R Capital) acquired the Company (then Altadyne, Inc.), and on September 1, 2005, the Company (then Altadyne), acquired Stem Cell Therapy International Corp., a Nevada corporation (Stem Cell Florida) in what was effectively a reverse acquisition. Following the transaction, Stem Cell Florida became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Stem Cell Floridas shareholders became shareholders of the Company. On October 5, 2005, the Company changed its name to Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. to reflect the new business of the Company. This transaction is accounted for as a reverse merger, with Stem Cell Florida treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes.
Stem Cell Florida was incorporated in Nevada on December 2, 2004. Following the reverse acquisition, the Company assumed and is continuing the operations of Stem Cell Florida. The Companys executive management team members are: David Stark, President, Andrew J. Norstrud, Chief Financial Officer, and Lixian Jiang, Chief Operating Officer and Patent Trademark Counsel.
We are indirectly involved, as a middle man, in research and development and practical application within the field of regenerative medicine. We have provided allo (human) stem cell biological solutions that are currently being used in the treatment of patients suffering from degenerative disorders of the human body. We have established agreements with highly specialized, professional medical treatment facilities around the world in locations where Stem Cell Transplantation therapy is approved by the appropriate local government agencies.
18
We will initially devote most of our efforts toward organization and fund raising for planned clinics and patient operations and limited revenues have been generated from any such operations. The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since its inception and at December 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $1,094,744 and an accumulated deficit from operations of $3,830,741. As noted in the Report of the Independent Registered Certified Public Accountants report for the audited Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc. financial statements for the period from inception to March 31, 2008, these factors raise doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Realization of the Companys business plan is dependent upon the Companys ability to meet its future financing requirements, and the success of future operations. This is because we have not generated substantial revenues since inception. Our only other source for cash at this time is through advances or loans from management. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, and their basis of application is consistent. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.
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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.
Common stock transactions for services are recorded at either the fair value of the stock issued or the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more evident on the day that the transactions are executed.
Revenue transactions are derived from providing informational and referral services; we have no plans to enter into any other revenue transaction in the near future. We recognize revenue related to these services upon rendering the services, as long as (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (3) collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Any payments received prior to delivery of the products or services are included in deferred revenue and recognized once the products are delivered or the services are performed.
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.
Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2008 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
We had no revenue during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $132,960 of revenue for the comparable period in 2007. There were no patients treated during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 whereas there were five patients treated during the same period ended 2007. This is primarily due to the fact that management has been concentrating most of its efforts on finalizing the Histostem transaction. There are no immediate plans to enter into any new transactions prior to the completion of the acquisition.
Our cost of goods sold for the stem cell biological material delivered during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was $0 as compared to $52,268 for the same period ended 2007. The decrease in cost of goods sold is due to no patient treatments during 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.
Gross margins for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was 0% compared to 61% for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in gross margin is due to the Company treating no patients during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to treating five patients during the same period in 2007.
19
Legal expenses increased $28,704 to $233,725 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $205,021 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The increase in legal expense is primarily due to the additional costs in 2008 related to the legal settlements.
Consulting expenses increased $95,256 to $346,611 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $251,355 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The increase in consulting expense is primarily due to the several new consulting contracts entered into and expiring for the 2008 period.
Accounting expenses increased $6,603 to $62,060 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $55,457 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The increase in accounting expense is primarily due to an increase in audit fees for the 2008 period.
Payroll expenses increased $125,956 to $275,455 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $149,499 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The increase in payroll expenses is due to the addition of David Stark, CEO and their being a full nine months of expense for the employees added in September 2007.
Stock based compensation decreased $479,385 to $26,331 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $505,716 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in stock based compensation is due to the options issued to the officers of the Company during the nine months ended December 31, 2007, no such awards were made during the same period in 2008.
Settlement expense increased $98,850 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $0 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The increase in settlement expense is primarily due to the settlement of two legal matters during the period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $58,313 to $16,999 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $75,312 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 is due to an overall decrease in expenses as the Company negotiates the merger agreement.
Our net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was $1,061,576 as compared to $1,163,302 during the same period in 2007. The loss primarily reflects the decrease in revenue and stock based compensation offset by the increases in payroll expenses, professional service fees.
As of December 31, 2008 and for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
We had no revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $30,000 of revenue for the comparable period in 2007. There were no patients treated during the three months ended December 31, 2008 whereas there was one patient treated during the same period ended 2007. This is primarily due to the fact that management has been concentrating most of its efforts on finalizing the Histostem transaction. There are no immediate plans to enter into any new transactions prior to the completion of the acquisition.
Our cost of goods sold for the stem cell biological material delivered during the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $0 as compared to $13,000 for the same period ended 2007. The decrease in cost of goods sold is due to no patient treatments during 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.
Gross margins for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was 0% compared to 57% for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in gross margin is due to the Company treating no patients during the three months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to treating three patients during the same period in 2007.
Legal expenses decreased $80,961 to $63,879 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $144,840 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in legal expense is primarily due to the expiration of several consulting agreements for legal services and the overall decrease in Company activity while working toward completing the merger agreement.
20
Consulting expenses decreased $67,969 to $41,095 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $109,064 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in consulting expense is primarily due to the decrease in consulting agreements while the Company is working on completing the merger agreement.
Accounting expenses decreased $4,517 to $6,383 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $10,900 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in accounting expense is primarily due to the decrease in audit fees due to the decrease in revenue generating operations as the Company continues to work on completing the merger agreement.
Payroll expenses increased $18,397 to $86,250 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $67,853 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The increase in payroll expenses is due to the increase in salary for David Stark, CEO during the 2008 period.
Stock based compensation increased to $8,777 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $0 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The increase in stock based compensation is due to the amortization of options issued to David Stark, CEO.
Settlement expense decreased $90,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $0 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in settlement expense is primarily due to the cancellation of stock previously awarded in settlement of a legal matter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $29,372 to $51 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $29,423 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three ended December 31, 2008 is due to an overall decrease in expenses as the Company negotiates the merger agreement.
Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $116,788 as compared to $345,153 during the same period in 2007. The loss primarily reflects the decrease in revenue and the majority of expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and the period since December 2, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008, the Company has had a net loss of $1,061,576 and $3,840,741, respectively and cash used by operations of $106,015 and $551,795, respectively, and negative working capital of $1,094,744 at December 31, 2008.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, recoverability of recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Companys ability to begin significant operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from shareholder advances and some relatively minor sales of equity securities (as set forth below). The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities, debt financing and loans from the Companys Chief Executive Officer, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful at achieving its financing goals at reasonably commercial terms, if at all.
Effective June 27, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Newbridge Securities, Corp. (Newbridge) to assist the Company on a best efforts basis in raising approximately $250,000 in a private offering of up to 2 million shares of restricted common stock at a price of $0.125 per share. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has received $206,024 of proceeds, which represents $250,000 gross proceeds less $43,976 of offering costs.
On March 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement and its amendments (the Agreement) with Histostem Co., Ltd., a Korean company (Histostem). Pursuant to the
21
Agreement (as subsequently amended), the Company will acquire 90% of the issued and outstanding stock of Histostem, and Histostems shareholders will acquire a controlling interest in the Company. The original definitive agreement called for closing of the acquisition by April 30, 2008. Subsequent to closing, the Company will be held approximately 60% by Histostem and 40% by the existing shareholders of the Company. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company will be renamed AmStem International Corp., increase the authorized number of shares to 500,000,000 and seek a new symbol on the over-the-counter bulletin board.
On April 22, 2008, the Company amended the Agreement to state that Histostem shall have received funding at the date of the actual closing at a minimum of 2 million dollars towards the initial round of funding of at least 10 million dollars. Subsequent to that amendment, the actual closing deadline of April 30, 2008 was no longer in effect.
On June 19, 2008, the Company entered into a second Amendment to the Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement. In accordance with the terms of this second Amendment, the Company and Histostem issued and delivered shares reflecting the acquisition of Histostem into Escrow by the Company pending resolution of outstanding litigation between Histostem Korea and Histostem, Inc. (a United States corporation unrelated to Histostem) (Histostem USA). This essentially effectuates an immediate closing of the Histostem acquisition upon the agreement to an outstanding Histostem legal case. In the Amendment the parties also agreed to complete a one for three reverse stock split of the Companys common stock. That reverse stock split will be completed after filing, mailing and completion of a 14C Information Statement to the Companys shareholders and appropriate notice and filings with the NASD. As of December 31, 2008 and to the date of this filing, both the Companys and Histostems shares of common stock remain in escrow and have not yet been distributed per the terms of the agreement due to the outstanding legal case, which has yet to be settled nor agreed to by both parties as agreed to per the second amendment.
In April 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mirador Consulting, Inc. to provide management consulting services for three months. The Company has agreed to issue 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $25,000.
In April 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Hunden Consulting Group to provide investor relations services for one year. Fees shall be paid to the consultant only if the consultant introduces the Company, in writing, to a third party investor or merger candidate, then the fees shall equal 10% of the total investment or loan to the Company and if a merger transaction occurs between the Company and a party introduced by the consultant, the consultant would be entitled to receive a 5% commission. To date, the Company has not received any services under this agreement.
On May 28, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Shea Financial, LLC to provide fund raising services for a term of three months in exchange for the right to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share upon a funding commitment to the Company of at least $10 million from consultant funding and $2,500,000 at the closing. To date, the Company has not received any funding under this agreement.
In June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Ventana Group to extend a Credit Facility of up to $2,500,000 in bridge financing. The loan will mature the sooner of 180 days from the date of funding with interest accruing at a rate of 1.25% and principal and interest due at maturity. Ventana has the option to convert all or any portion of the loan to equity, with the conversion terms to be determined at a later date. The Company has agreed to pay Ventana a 5% loan fee based on the amount of the draw down on the credit facility and to issue a warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to 25% of the loan commitment ($2,500,000). The number of warrants and strike price shall be determined using the 45 day average trading price per share of the stock at the time of execution, less a 10% discount. The warrant will be exercisable for 3 years from the date of issuance. The agreement and warrant were terminated in August 2008.
On August 12, 2008, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor for $25,000 cash. These shares were issued without any public offering in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with this sale, the Company issued 645,000 warrants, which can be exercised to purchase 645,000 shares of common stock, with a purchase price of $0.07 per common share. The warrants have expired and the proceeds from the sale of common stock are being used for working capital.

Unpredictability of future revenues; Potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results; Seasonality
As a result of our limited operating history and the emerging nature of the biotechnological markets in which we compete, we are unable to accurately forecast future revenues. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and future revenues and are to a large extent fixed and expected to increase.
Sales and operating results generally depend on the volume of, timing of and ability to fulfill the number of orders received for the biological solution and the number of patients treated which are difficult to forecast. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to our planned expenditures would have an immediate adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, we may from time to time make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
We expect to experience significant fluctuations in our future quarterly operating results due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is not currently engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Item 303(c) (2) of Regulation S-B. The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangement during the last fiscal year, and is not reasonably likely to engage in any off-balance sheet arrangement in the near future.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Not applicable.
ITEM 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of and for the period ending December 31, 2008 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. This conclusion by the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer does not relate to reporting periods after December 31, 2008.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
23
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management, under the supervision of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008 under the criteria set forth in the Internal ControlIntegrated Framework.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Chief Financial Officer has determined that material weaknesses exist during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, due to the lack of an independent Audit Committee, as well as a lack of segregation of duties, i.e. all of the accounting tasks are performed by a single individual. Currently, the Companys Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer review all transactions. Until the Company raises additional capital, it cannot remediate these weaknesses.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting occurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On August 22, 2008, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the Agreement) with Princeton Healthcare, Inc. Princeton Healthcare, Inc. agreed to release and discharge each other, their successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, former directors and officers, from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, fees, costs, interest, attorneys fees and damages that each ever had against the other for a payment of $60,000 and the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has paid $10,000 and issued 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $38,850. The Company was scheduled to pay the remaining $50,000 by October 31, 2008; however, as of the date of this filing, no such payment has been made.
The Company was involved in a legal dispute over the payment and performance of a consulting agreement. The Company contended that the contract never became effective, and therefore the consultant was not entitled to receive compensation. The consultant contended that the Company and its representatives induced them to begin performance of the services early, based on certain promises. The original contract called for the consultant to be awarded the compensation of 3,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $90,000. During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Company and the consultant agreed to terminate the legal dispute and the consultant has provided a release of liability, therefore, the Company has canceled the 3,000,000 shares of common stock.
