NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
February 28, 2015
Note 1 - General:
The accompanying condensed financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures or financial details required by generally accepted accounting principles. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2014. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year's operations.
Note 2 – Going Concern:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss from operations for the nine months ended February 28, 2015 of $143,240, and has a stockholders’ deficiency and a working capital deficiency of $242,240. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s plan and ability to continue as a going concern is primarily dependent upon its ability to establish and maintain consistent production volumes to fulfill existing sales orders. Alternative sources of supply continue to be evaluated so that manufacturing and production disruptions can be minimized in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish an alternative source of supply to meet demand. The establishment of an alternative source of supply may require additional expenditures given the uncertainties associated with the regulatory and financial issues involved.
At February 28, 2015, inventory of $90,015 consisted of $34,629 of finished goods and $55,386 of raw materials.
Note 4 – Related Party Transactions:
The Company received additional unsecured loans aggregating $154,000 from its Chairman during the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The loans are interest bearing at the internal revenue service short-term applicable federal rate and due upon demand. Pursuant to an agreement with a director of the Company, sales commission expense of $10,743 for services rendered in connection with the sale of Citrix in Europe was paid during the nine months ended February 28, 2015.
Note 5- Commitments and Contingencies:
At February 28, 2015, the Company is obligated under a non-cancellable lease with an unrelated third party to rent office space which expires on January 31, 2016. The Company is currently negotiating a termination of this lease. At February 28, 2015, the Company owes $105,151 under this lease and has minimum future rental payments due on this lease of $82,627.
There have been no other significant subsequent developments relating to the commitments and contingencies reported on the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations:
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2015 reflect an ongoing production outage, which has delayed fulfillment of customer purchase orders.
Three months ended February 28, 2015 compared to February 28, 2014
The Company’s revenues decreased in the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2015 by $38,293 or 61% due to the ongoing delays in the resumption of raw material production. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 25% for the three months ended February 28, 2015 reflecting lower raw material costs of discounted raw material purchases from the Company’s former supplier.
Non-direct costs and expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2015 were 9% lower than those of the comparative prior-year period due to decreases in other administrative expenses and insurance expense of $6,900 and $3,525 offset by increased professional fees and salaries of $3,040 and $1,793 respectively.
Nine months ended February 28, 2015 compared to February 28, 2014
The Company’s revenues decreased in the nine months ended February 28, 2015 compared to February 28, 2014 by 48% or $184,949 due to the Company’s inability to reestablish production operations. Cost of sales as a percent of sales decreased from 45% for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 to 25% for the nine months ended February 28, 2015, reflecting the acquisition of discounted raw material from the Company’s former supplier and the costs of exploring alternative sources of supply during the comparative prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of February 28, 2015, the Company’s liabilities exceeded its assets by $242,240. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance increased by $109,387 in the nine months ended February 28, 2015 to $119,819.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures at February 28, 2015.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required for smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation in connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
