Organizational History of Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua
Masterise is a limited liability company which was organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on May 31, 2007.
Shenzhen Changhua is a limited liability company which was organized under the laws of PRC on September 25, 2002.
On January 29, 2008, Masterise acquired 70% of the capital stock of Shenzhen Changhua, and this caused Shenzhen Changhua to become its subsidiary.
On December 31, 2008, Advanced BioMedical Technologies, Inc. acquired 100% of the capital stock of Masterise, and this caused Masterise to become its wholly owned subsidiary.
Since their founding, Shenzhen Changhua has been involved in the development of self-reinforced, absorbable degradable screws, rods and binding wires for fixation on human fractured bones. The Company is currently involved in conducting clinical trials on its products and intends to raise additional capital to produce and market its products commercially pending approval of its products by the State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”) of the PRC.
6
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is now engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing self-reinforced, absorbable degradable Polyamide (“PA”) screws, rods and binding wires for fixation on human fractured bones.
Primary Products
Our primary products include Absorbable PA Osteosynthesis Devices made of a proprietary polyamide material. These advanced materials are used in surgical screws, binding wires, rods and related medical devices for the treatment of orthopedic trauma, sports-related medical treatment, cartilage repair, and related treatments, and reconstructive dental procedures. Our devices are Self-Reinforced, Bioabsorbable, Brady-degradable internal fixation devices. At this time, ABMT is the sole patent holder of PA technologies in China, as well as the only company currently engaged in clinical trials and marketing submission for PA devices in the PRC. Our PA Screws have completed clinical trials and are pending approval by the State Food and Drug Administration of China (“SFDA”); Our PA Binding Wires are under clinical trials; Our PA Mini-Screws are under animal test.
Product Characteristics:
The theory of Brady-degradable PA absorbable material is based on water dissolution, that is, the material is broken down by body fluids in a predictable and carefully engineered fashion. As a bone fracture heals, the supporting implant is designed to degrade from the outer to the inner layers, inducing new bone generation in the gap left by the degrading material. Eventually, new bone is formed to occupy all of the space left by the degraded implant.
Brady-degradable PA absorbable materials consist of enhanced fiber and high molecular polymers. It has high tensile, bending, and shear strengths, and is particularly suitable for patients with severe conditions, such as fractures with light osteoporosis, severe soft tissue injury or bad blood supply, and so forth. This innovative material provides several benefits:
1. Reduces costs on all patient medical care,
2. Helps avoid the necessity for secondary surgery,
3. Enhances the performance of components constructed from these materials,
4. Improves the biological activity of components employing these materials,
5. Effectively controls the degeneration speed of the temporary support component.
The Company has developed six proprietary re-absorbable polymer fixation implant product lines, including screws, pins, tacks, rods and binding wires, which provide an alternative to metal implants and overcome the limitations of first generation re-absorbable fixation devices. The Company’s product range will ultimately cover the full gamut of components featuring self-reinforced, re-absorbable, biodegradable PA macromolecule polymer materials for implantation, including human orthopedic and dental applications, as well as veterinary applications.
7
Industry Development
The fracture fixation industry has developed through three generations of materials science:
The first generation internal-fracture fixation material:
The first generation internal-fracture-fixer components are usually made of stainless steel, titanium and alloy. Due to their high intensity, low costs and easy machining character, these components have achieved huge success in fracture treatment and remain the most widely used internal-fracture-fixer material. However, their prominent flaws are the huge difference between metal’s elasticity co-efficient, easily causing second-time bone fracture. The metallic ion can also cause tissue inflammation, and the need of a secondary surgery to have them taken out. These flaws stimulated the development of the degradable macromolecule material.
The second generation fracture fixation material:
The second generation bone-fracture-fixed components are made of degradable macromolecule material, such as PLLA, PGA and PDS, etc. The disadvantage of these components is rapid self-degeneration in early stages after the initial implant. For example, the strength of SR-PLLA decreases to 10-20Mpa after 4 weeks of implantation. Therefore, the second generation bone-fracture-fixed components can be only used to treat substantial spongiosa bone fractures.
The third generation fracture fixation material:
The third generation fracture fixation material, biodegradable fracture fixation components are currently under research by developed countries. There are many technical challenges to research in the third generation fracture fixation material field; for example, the materials must have a high degree of bio-compatibility and mechanical compatibility. They also must be of high biological activity, self absorbable, and degeneration controllable.
Product Development
After careful deliberation, we selected the biodegradable screw as our first product to market. In order to replace the widely-used metal components, the new materials must meet multiple bio-consistency and mechanical-consistency requirements. Furthermore, they must also exhibit specific properties with respect to bio-activities, degradability, and controllable degradation speed. Although many macromolecule materials are degradable inside human body, relatively few provide the physical characters required for fracture fixation.
Development began with selection of macromolecule materials that exhibited the desired physical characters, leading, ultimately, to our selection of polyamide. In order to achieve the desired mechanical performance and degrading speed, various chemical and physical techniques were employed to modify the bio-degradable polyamide so as to synthesize the required new bio-degradable material. This phase of our research also entailed the selection of monomer class, polymerization conditions, the mensuration of polymer molecular weight, hydrophile capability, crystal capability, the mensuration and controlled degrading speed of the polymer, the mensuration and control of the mechanical performance of the polymer, and numerous other critical considerations.
Our next challenge was to identify a suitable bio-active inorganic material, and to optimize the compound and associated production conditions. It was critical that we could predict and control the bio-activities of the implanted fixture material, and to this end we used high grade and mature phosphate type bio-active materials, taking into account the preparation characteristics of the compound material, and the surface character requirements of the finished products. We also improved current technical parameters by modifying the surface character, thereby achieving critical control over the desired grain size and surface activities.
The third technological hurdle involved the actual preparation and utilization of the engineered compound in conjunction with a bio-active material. Hydronium bombardment of the surface, with spread and cover techniques, was employed during this critical step in the process. This had the effect of creating a well-knit bio-active membrane on the degradable polymer’s surface, and embedding a bio-active core inside the degradable polymer stick, so as to form the bio-active degradable compound material.
The final step entailed strengthening and shaping the processed compound by using directional extrusion and molding. Degradable acantha inoculators, fixation screws, orthopedics stuffing, enlace strings, and anti-conglutination membrane can all be manufactured, as needed, using this same technique.
Our company has studied and researched Polyamide, changing its chemical and physical properties to meet the above requirements. As a result of our research we have:
1.
|
Increased mechanical strength to 170Mpa
|
2.
|
Increased biological activities to accelerate bone cell substitution.
|
3.
|
Extended the degeneration period during the implant. While the PA is degenerating layer by layer, the bone cells grow and take its place.

Overview of PA Devices and Market in China and Worldwide
The demand for medical device equipment has rapidly increased during the last decade. Total market sales have increased more than 15% each year. There are in excess of 5 million cases of bone fractures in the world every year, among which there are over 1 million cases in China. The figures show that about 4 million bone bolts/screws are needed each year. Between 2005 and 2009, the total world-wide sales of clinical equipments and materials are over 2 trillion USD, and more than 50% of the sales are related to bio-materials.
9
China’s Market for PA Devices
China’s market for PA devices depends on 3 major conditions:
- patients
|
|
- advanced technology level
|
|
- performance and price of the materials.
|
In the first 50 years of the 21st century, China will have a growing aging population, while the total population in China will continually increase. New and improved medical technologies will be rapidly developed and utilized throughout hospitals in China, and material optimization and product pricing is expected to directly stimulate increased sales.
Competitive Analysis
Our Company is the only patent holder of PA technologies in China, as well as the only company carrying out Clinical Trials on PA products in China. At this time there are no similar products in this market (bio-degradable internal fixation devices that degrade without acids or other non-naturally occurring substances). Moreover, due to the nature of the regulatory environment, and the requirements and logistics of mounting a clinical trial, it would take any new competitor a minimum of three years to catch up to our lead in this area alone. Factoring in our established relationships with key customers, distributors, and regulators, as well as our ready-to-run production facilities, and our actual advantage is considerable longer than the 3 year regulatory advantage. . This represents an invaluable window in which to firmly entrench our company as the preferred purveyor of self-reinforced, absorbable biodegradable PA components in the Chinese health care environment.
Our primary competition will be the generation-one and generation-two counterparts, which, despite their functional inferiority, enjoy the benefit of familiarity and an established manufacturing and marketing base. This competition comes from a number of entrenched players worldwide, including Acumed, Biomet, Inc., Conmed Corp., Encore Orthopedics, Exactech, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, DePuy, Inc., Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Inc., Orthofix International N.V., Smith and Nephew Plc, Stryker Corp., Synthes, Inion, Ltd. and others. Although many of these competitors have substantially greater resources upon which to draw, we are confident that the technological superiority of the more forward-looking product will ultimately equalize the playing field by favoring innovation.
To reiterate, our company and product line offer several critical competitive advantages, specifically:
·
|
There are no similar patent registrations in China.
|
|
·
|
Our initial product, the PA Screw, has completed 100% of the required clinical trials, with a 100% success rate, and now await the formality of SFDA approval.
|
|
·
|
We are the only company qualified and permitted to conduct clinical trials of other PA products by China’s SFDA.
|
|
·
|
We have a timing advantage over other companies in China, which would have to go through the preclinical testing before they could even apply for a permit to conduct actual clinical trials.
|
|
·
|
Under existing regulation structure, it will take at least 3 years for any competitor’s clinical trials to be completed, and total of 7 or more years to reach the point where we are now.
|
Specific Competition
Competition in the medical implant device industry is intense both in China and in global markets. In orthopedics, ABMT’s principal competitors are the numerous companies that sell metal implants. ABMT competes with the manufacturers and marketers of metal implants by emphasizing the ease of implantation of the Company’s Self-Reinforced, Bio-absorbable, Brady-degradable implants, the cost effectiveness of such products, and the elimination of risks associated with the necessity of performing removal surgeries frequently required with less modern products. Within the resorbable implant market, ABMT is competing with other manufacturers of resorbable internal fixation devices primarily on the basis of the physiological strength of ABMT’s polymers and the length of the strength retention time demonstrated by ABMT’s formulations. In order to replace the widely-used metal components, the new materials must meet numerous bioconsistency and mechanical-consistency requirements. Furthermore, they must also exhibit specific properties with respect to bio-activities, degradability, and controllable degradation speed. Although many macromolecule materials are degradable inside human body, relatively few provide the physical characters required for fracture fixation.
Our primary competition will be the generation-one and generation-two counterparts, which, despite their functional inferiority, enjoy the benefit of familiarity and an established manufacturing and marketing base. This competition comes from a number of entrenched players worldwide, including Acumed.

For the past 20 years, titanium has been the most widely used, and the most expensive material for fixing fractures (in both elective and emergency surgery). Although metal exhibits the desired strength and rigidity to allow the healing process to begin, there are a number of issues associated with using permanent titanium systems. Biodegradable plating systems deliver many of the benefits of their metal counterparts, without the disadvantages.
There are a number of marketers and manufacturers of PLA and PLLA--the first generation of Self- degradable, absorbable, orthopedic internal fixation devices in China. (Note: Titanium screws cost as much as $2200.)

Product Comparisons
Among many other advantages, a main advantage of ABMT’s proprietary PA technology is the elimination of the need for secondary surgery to remove an implantation device. Implant removal belongs to the most common elective orthopaedic procedures in industrial countries. In children, implant removal may be necessary to remove implants early to avoid disturbances to the growing skeleton, to prevent their bony immuring making later removal technically difficult or impossible, and to allow for planned reconstructive surgery after skeletal maturation (e.g., in case of hip dysplasia). In adults, pain, soft tissue irritation, the resumption of strenuous activities or contact sports after fracture healing, and the patient’s demand are typical indications for implant removal in clinical practice. However, implant removal requires a second surgical procedure in scarred tissue, and poses a risk for nerve damage and re-fractures. (cite: Hanson et al. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2008)

1 Titanium and aluminum has been traced in serum and hair of 16 of 46 patients after receiving titanium implants. (cite: Kasai Y, Iida R, Uchida A: Metal concentrations in the serum and hair of patients with titanium alloy spinal implants.)
2Implant removal belongs to the most common elective orthopaedic procedures in the industrial countries. In a frequently cited Finnish study, implant removal contributed to almost 30% of all planned orthopaedic operations, and 15% of all operations. (cite: Bostman O, Pihlajamaki H: Routine implant removal after fracture surgery: a potentially reducible consumer of hospital resources in trauma units.)
12
Towards the end of the last century, spinal and orthopedic implants evolved towards progressively stronger and stiffer devices, as it was presumed that increased construct rigidity would optimize the biological milieu and provide more rapid and robust healing and arthrodesis. For the past 20 years, titanium has been the most widely used, and the most expensive material for fixing fractures (in both elective and emergency surgery). More than 1,000 tons (2.2 million pounds) of titanium devices of every description and function are implanted in patients worldwide each year. Although metal exhibits the desired strength and rigidity to allow the healing process to begin, there are a number of issues associated with using permanent titanium systems. Biodegradable systems deliver many of the benefits of their metal counterparts, without the disadvantages:

Stiffness for optimal healing
|
• Too stiff
• Stress shielding can result in bone atrophy and degradation
|
• Optimal stiffness/flexibility characteristics to achieve surgical fixation, while conforming to the softer, more pliable bone of the patient
|
Other Effects
|
• Implant palpability
• Temperature sensitivity
• Occasionally visibility
• Could cause trauma in the event of mechanical failure
• Imaging and radiotherapy interference

Our Business
We are engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and the planned future marketing of self-reinforced, re-absorbable biodegradable internal fixation devices. Our polyamide materials are protected by Patent no. ZL97119073.9, PRC, issued by the Chinese Intellectual Property Rights Bureau, is used in producing screws, binding wires, rods and related products. These products are used in a variety of applications, which include orthopedic trauma, sports related medical treatment, or cartilage injuries, and reconstructive dental procedures. Our products are biodegradable internal fixation devices which are made of a very unique material called Polyamide (“PA”). Our PA products, such as screws, rods, and binding wires consist of enhanced fibers and high molecular polymers, which are designed to facilitate quick healing of complex fractures in many areas of the human skeletal system. Our products offer a number of significant advantages over existing metal implants and the first generation of degradable implants (i.e. PLLA) for patients, surgeons and other customers including:
1.
|
A notably reduced need for a secondary surgery to remove implant due to post-operative complications, therefore avoiding unnecessary risk and expense on all patient care;
|
2.
|
Enhancing the performance of the materials by manufacturing them to be easily fitted to each patient, forming an exact fit;
|
3.
|
Improving the biological activity of materials. Clinical trial results have shown that as PA implants degrade, they promote a progressive shift of load to the new bone creating micro-motion and thereby avoiding bone atrophy due to ‘stress shielding’
|
4.
|
Reducing the chance of post-operative infection;
|
5.
|
Effectively controlling the degeneration speed, so that there will be no complications in treating repeat injuries;
|
6.
|
Ease of post-operative care i.e. no distortion during x-ray imaging;
|
7.
|
Simple and cost-effective to manufacture.
|
Our products are designed to replace the traditional internal fixation device made of stainless steel and titanium and overcome the limitations of previous generations of products such as PLA and PLLA. Our laboratory statistics show that our PA products have a higher mechanical strength, last longer in degradation ratio and are more evenly absorbed form outer layer inwards as compared with similar materials such as PLA and PLLA. Thus PA allows increased restoration time for bone healing and re-growth. The Company’s PA Degradable and Absorbable Screw (“PA Screw”) and Degradable and Absorbable Binding Wire (“PA Binding Wire) are currently being tested in human trials under permit from China’s State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”). As of October 31, 2011, the Company completed 83 successful PA Screw trial cases, and 57 successful PA Binding Wire. Upon the completion of these trials the Company has already exceeded China SFDA’s requirement on PA Screw trial. The Company is expecting the China’s SFDA’s approval for its PA Screw to be granted in 2012.
Completion of Clinical Trials for PA Screws
As of October 31, 2011, for medical study and comparison purpose, the company has completed a total of 83 successful clinical human trial cases, including 71 cases on ankle fractures. Under SFDA Regulations, a total number of 60 cases must be completed before approval is considered. The clinical trials for the company’s PA Screws have been completed with 100 percent success rate.
19
SFDA Application Process for PA Screws
The company first submitted its application for PA Screws to the SFDA in 2008. The application has been withheld by the SFDA pending additional clinical trial cases. This is due to the amended SFDA regulations, which unlike previous regulations require the applicant to specify the position on the body where the clinical trial is carried out. Our amended SFDA application has specified the ankle fracture as the body part of our clinical trial. This is because bones around this part carry most of the body weight. As of October 31, 2011, we have completed all additional clinical trials required by the SFDA. The company’s SFDA application process will be resumed once the additional and supplementary reports are submitted to the SFDA. We expect the final SFDA approval in 2012.
Furthermore, we anticipate that following the SFDA final approval; the company should be earning revenues as early as the fourth quarter of 2012. The company is also looking forward to starting the application process for the PA Biding Wires with the SFDA by the end of 2012 provided sufficient funding is in place.
Clinical Trials on Other Products
Currently, we have been conducting clinical trials for PA Binding Wires at the 6 state level hospitals authorized by the SFDA in cities throughout China, including Nanchang, Changsha, Luoyang, Nanning and Tianjin.
Additionally, the Company has signed a cooperative agreement with The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University in Guangzhou, China. Under this cooperative agreement, both parties will join efforts in conducting research and animal tests on Cranio-Maxillofacial Fracture (CMF) Treatment utilizing the Company’s bio-absorbable miniscrews and plates. CMF surgery encompasses the treatment of the face, jaws and skull, including trauma and the correction of facial skeletal deformity. Since the 1980s, titanium plates and screws have been the most commonly used fixation devices in CMF surgery. However concerns of using titanium include bone growth restriction and implant migration through the cranium in children. Also adult patients complain about feeling the metal implants, particularly in cold weather or through thin skin. We believe that utilizing our bio-absorbable mini-screws and plates in CMF surgery will eliminate the problems associated with other treatment types.
There can be no assurance that the company will be able to obtain any further clearances or approvals, if required, to market its products for their intended uses on a timely basis, if at all. Moreover, regulatory approvals, if granted, may include significant limitations on the indicated uses for which a product may be marketed. Delays in the receipt of or the failure to obtain such clearances or approvals, the need for additional clearances or approvals, the loss of previously received clearances or approvals, unfavorable limitations or conditions of approval, or the failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
20
Government Regulation
Medical implant devices/products manufactured or marketed by the company in China are subject to extensive regulations by the SFDA. Pursuant to the related laws and acts, as amended, and the regulations promulgated there under (the “SFDA Regulations”), the SFDA regulates the clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, distribution and promotion of medical devices. The SFDA also has the authority to request repair, replacement, or refund of the cost of any device manufactured or distributed by the Company.
Under the SFDA Regulations, medical devices are classified into three classes (class I, II or III), the basis of the controls deemed necessary by the SFDA to reasonably assure their safety and efficacy. Under the SFDA’s regulations, class I devices are subject to general controls [for example, labeling and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) requirements] and class II devices are subject to general and special controls. Generally, class III devices are those, which must receive premarket approval by the SFDA to ensure their safety and efficacy (for example, life-sustaining, life-supporting and certain implantable devices, or new devices which have not been found substantially equivalent to legally marketed class I or class II devices). The Company is classified as a manufacturer of class III medical devices. Current SFDA enforcement policy prohibits the marketing of approved medical devices for unapproved uses.
Before a new device can be introduced into the market in China, the manufacturer generally must obtain SFDA marketing clearance through clinical trials. Since the company is classified as a manufacturer of Class III medical devices, the company must carry out all clinical trials in pre-selected SFDA approved hospitals.
Manufacturers of medical devices for marketing in China are required to adhere to GMP requirements. Enforcement of GMP requirements has increased significantly in the last several years and the SFDA has publicly stated that compliance will be more strictly scrutinized. From time to time the SFDA has made changes to the GMP and other requirements that increase the cost of compliance. Changes in existing laws or requirements or adoption of new laws or requirements could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the company will not incur significant costs to comply with applicable laws and requirements in the future or that applicable laws and requirements will not have a material adverse effect upon the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulations regarding the development, manufacturing and sale of the company’s products are subject to change. The company cannot predict the impact, if any, that such changes might have on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Results of Operations
The “Results of Operations” discussed in this section merely reflect the information and results of Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua for the period from September 25, 2002 (Shenzhen Changhua’s date of inception) to October 31, 2011.

The Company will market its products through a hybrid sales force comprised of a managed network of independent regional distributors/sales agents (80%) and direct sales representatives (20%) in China.
There are two ways the company will generate revenue, 1) through our nationwide and regional distributors and 2) through our direct sales channels.
Funding Needs
The Company estimates that it will need to raise minimum $1,000,000 over the next 12 months to bring its current products to market, and begin earning revenues. While the Company has no outside sources of funding, the Company’s shareholders have committed to advance the Company funds as needed. There is a Letter of Continuing Financial Support signed between the Company and one of its major shareholders, Titan Technology Development Ltd.
22
China’s Marketing Analysis and Sales Strategy
We have established long term relationships with many hospitals and national distributors in China. Ms. WANG Hui, the Company’s CEO, has over 20 years sales experience in medical distribution. She will be in charge of our sales programs. Professor LIU, Shangli, our chief medical advisor for Greater China, is one of the highest ranked orthopedic doctors in China as well as being highly renowned in the rest of the world. He will assist the Company in nationwide product promotion and joint projects with associated academic institutions and medical schools.
During product development and clinical trial stages we developed close relationships with many major national hospitals. We expect these relationships to boost our revenue generation following SFDA final approval. In order to better serve our customers, including hospitals, distributors, patients and the general public, the Company will set up Regional Service Offices to provide technical support, product information, and customer aid service.
China’s market for PA devices depends on 3 major conditions:
- Patients
- Advanced technology level
- Performance and price of the materials
The demand for internal fixation medical devices has rapidly increased during the last decade. Total market sales have increased more than 15% each year. There are over 1 million bone fractures in patients in China requiring about 4 million bone bolts/screws each year. Research shows that in the next 10 years, China will have a booming aging population and the population in China will continue to increase. New and improved medical technology will continue to rapidly grow throughout hospitals in China, and material optimization and product pricing is expected to directly stimulate increased sales.
The Company has advantages and more opportunities over others competitors due to:
- No other similar patent registrations in China.
- We are the only company qualified and permitted to perform PA clinical trials by SFDA
- We have a timing advantage over other companies in China, which would have to go through the preclinical testing for the SFDA permit on clinical trials.
- Under existing regulations by SFDA, it will take at least 3-5 years for clinical trials.

In general, technological advancements and the marketing potential within Asia are the biggest factors in driving significant growth within the global orthopedic devices market. Another major factor that positively influences this market is the growing number of aging baby boomers with active lifestyles. This sector represents a large portion of the total population.
Research and Development
Research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed as incurred. Total expenditure on research and development charged to general and administrative expenses for the year ended October 31, 2011, October 31, 2009 and for the period from September 25, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2011 was $19,734, $11,686 and $138,767 respectively.
There is substantial research and development (R&D) activity in the market indicating a favorable growth trend. While revenues for active lifestyle participants registered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4 percent for the period 2002-2006; R&D expenditure for the same period recorded a higher growth of 18.4 percent. Increasing R&D expenditure is considered a key indicator of the future direction of the orthopedic market as it points to sustained technological development and innovation.
The Company believes that Asia holds tremendous growth potential for orthopedic device manufacturers due to its fundamental population advantage. Asia accounts for more than 50 percent of the population in the world, but its share of the global orthopedic devices market is comparatively low at approximately 10 percent. Within the region, Japan contributes to a majority of market revenues, indicating large potential for growth in relatively under-penetrated countries such as China and India.
In future periods, we expect research and development expenses to grow as we continue to invest in basic research, clinical trials, product development and in our intellectual property.
U.S. Government Grant
In April 2011, the Company received approval of one grant totalling $244,479.25 awarded to the Company under the U.S. Government’s Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project, a program created as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The grant is to support the ongoing development of bio-absorbable internal fixation devices, the Company’s novel treatment for orthopaedic trauma. The grant was received in May 2011 in full.
The Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project grants are provided under new section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-148). The IRS, in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services, approved applications for projects that showed significant potential to produce new and cost-saving therapies, support jobs and increase U.S. competitiveness under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project program. Only projects that show a reasonable potential to meet these goals were certified as eligible for the credit or grant.

Imputed interest charged at 5% per annum on the amounts owed to three directors, and a related company for the year ended October 31, 2011, the year ended October 31, 2010 and the period from September 25, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2011 respectively is $8,267, $8,746 and $78,602 for Wang Hui; $0, $0 and $23 for Kai Gui; $0, $0 and $56 for Chi Ming Yu; $18,793, $19,610 and $125,463 for Yichen Medical Device Co. Ltd.
Income Tax
ABMT was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating loss for income tax purposes for 2011 and 2010. ABMT has net operating loss carry forwards for income taxes amounting to approximately $313,376 and $261,232 as of October 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards, will expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2029. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a full, deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded. The valuation allowance at October 31, 2011 and 2010 was $313,376 and $261,232 respectively. The net change in the valuation allowance for 2011 was an increase of $52,144.
Masterise was incorporated in the BVI and under current law of the BVI, is not subject to tax on income.
Shenzhen Changhua was incorporated in the PRC and is subject to PRC income tax which is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. The income tax rate has been 25%. No income tax expense has been provided by Shenzhen Changhua as it is waiting for SFDA approval and it has incurred losses.
Net Loss
As reflected in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,923,483 at October 31, 2011 that includes a net loss of $487,439 for the year ended October 31, 2011. We are in Clinical Trial phase and do not have a SFDA permit to produce, market or sell in China.
26
We therefore do not have any revenue from inception to October 31, 2011 but have to incur operating expenses for the upkeep of the Company and the clinical trials.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a working capital deficit of $1,675,568 at October 31, 2011 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,539,958 as of October 31, 2010. Our working capital deficit increased as a result of the fact that we are in clinical trial phase, the company has put all resources to complete the clinical trials. We do not have a SFDA permit to produce, market or sell in China. We had no revenues during the year and that our sole source of financing came in the form of a loan from our related parties and stockholders.
Cash Flows
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $212,027 in the year ended October 31, 2011. This amount was attributable primarily to the net loss after adjustment for non-cash items, such as depreciation, imputed interest on advances from a stockholder and a related party, and others like decrease in other receivables and prepaid expenses.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
We recorded $73,947 net cash used in investing activities in the year ended October 31, 2011. This amount reflected purchases of property and equipment, primarily for research and development to our facilities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended October 31, 2011 was $322,343, which represented advances from related parties.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Our ability to continue as a going concern and support the commercialization of current products is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing in the near term. We anticipate that such funding will be in the form of equity financing from sales of our common stock. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our business plan should we decide to proceed. We anticipate continuing to rely on advances from our related parties and stockholders in order to continue to fund our business operations
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents at October 31, 2011, will be insufficient to meet our cash needs. The management is actively pursuing additional funding and strategic partners, which will enable the Company to implement our business plan, business strategy, to continue research and development, clinical trials or further development that may arise.
27
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,923,483 as of October 31, 2011 that includes a net loss of $487,439 for the year ended October 31, 2011. The Company’s total current liabilities exceed its total current assets by $1,675,568 and the Company used cash in operations of $212,027.
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent up the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability 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 has taken steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is now pursuing additional funding and potential merger or acquisition candidates, which would enhance stockholders’ investment. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.
During the year ended October 31, 2011, loans from Company’s Stockholders, three directors, a related company and two related parties totaling $1,731,746 were provided to us for use as working capital. Management believes that such financing will allow us to continue operations through the next fiscal year. The Company is also actively pursuing a number of private placements funding which would ensure continued operations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to income taxes and impairment of long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Based on our ongoing review, we plan to adjust to our judgments and estimates where facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
28
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
1.
|
Property and equipment
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
|
|
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value over the assets estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the assets are 5 years.
|
|
2.
|
Long-lived assets
|
In accordance with FASB Codification Topic 360 (ASC Topic 360), “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long- lived assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets to determine that carrying values are not impaired.
|
|
3.
|
Fair value of financial instruments
|
FASB Codification Topic 825(ASC Topic 825), “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of other receivables and prepaid expenses, due from related parties, other payables and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
|
|
4.
|
Government grant
|
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company complies with any conditions attached to them and the grants will be received.
|
|
5.
|
Income taxes
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period included the enactment date.
|
29
6.
|
Research and Development
|
Research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed as incurred.
|
|
7.
|
Foreign currency translation
|
The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary denominated in currencies other than US $are translated into US $using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US $using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity.

|
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
|
On September 15, 2011 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (the revised standard). The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing both public and nonpublic entities with the option of performing a “qualitative” assessment to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted for certain companies. The Company has assessed the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2011-08 on its consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial position and concluded that there is no impact.
|
|
In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954), which requires healthcare organizations that perform services for patients for which the ultimate collection of all or a portion of the amounts billed or billable cannot be determined at the time services are rendered to present all bad debt expense associated with patient service revenue as an offset to the patient service revenue line item in the statement of operations. The ASU also requires qualitative disclosures about the Company’s policy for recognizing revenue and bad debt expense for patient service transactions and quantitative information about the effects of changes in the assessment of collectability of patient service revenue. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2012. Since the Company is not a health care entity, the standard does not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
|
|
In June 2011 the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends current comprehensive income guidance”. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, companies must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
|
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

To the Board of Directors of:
Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (a development stage company), as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the period September 25, 2002 (Inception) through October 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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. We believe that our audits of the financial statements provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (a development stage company), as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the period September 25, 2002 (Inception) through October 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $487,439, an accumulated deficit of $2,923,483 and a working capital deficiency of $1,675,568 and used cash in operations of $212,027. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 9. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

|
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
|
|
(A)
|
Organization
|
|
Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc. (fka “Geostar Mineral Corporation” or “Geostar”) (“ABMT”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 12, 2006 .
|
||
Shenzhen Changhua Biomedical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Changhua”) was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on September 25, 2002 as a limited liability company with a registered capital of $724,017. Shenzhen Changhua is owned by two stockholders in the proportion of 70% and 30% respectively. Shenzhen Changhua plans to develop, manufacture and market self-reinforced, re-absorbable degradable PA screws, robs and binding ties for fixation on human fractured bones. The Company is currently conducting clinical trials on its products and intends to raise additional capital to produce and market its products commercially pending the approval from the State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”) of the PRC on its products. The Company has no revenue since its inception and, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities”, is considered a Development Stage Company.
|
||
Masterise Holdings Limited (“Masterise”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 31 May, 2007 as an investment holding company. Masterise is owned as to 63% by the spouse of Shenzhen Changhua’s 70% majority stockholder and 37% by a third party corporation.
|
||
On January 29, 2008, Masterise entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“the Agreement”) with a stockholder of Shenzhen Changhua whereupon Masterise acquired 70% of Shenzhen Changhua for US$64,100 in cash. The acquisition was completed on February 25, 2008. As both Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua are under common control and management, the acquisition was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, the operations of Shenzhen Changhua were included in the consolidated financial statements as if the transactions had occurred retroactively.
|
||
On December 31, 2008, ABMT consummated a Share Exchange Agreement (“the Exchange Agreement”) with the stockholders of Masterise pursuant to which Geostar issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock to the stockholders of Masterise for 100% equity interest in Masterise.
|
||
Concurrently, on December 31, 2008, a major stockholder of ABMT also consummated an Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Affiliate Agreement”) with thirteen individuals including all the stockholders of Masterise, pursuant to which the major stockholder sold a total of 5,001,000 shares of ABMT’s common stock for a total aggregate consideration of $5,000, including 4,438,250 shares to the stockholders of Masterise.
|
||
On consummation of the Exchange Agreement and the Affiliate Agreement, the 70% majority stockholder of Masterise became an 80.7% stockholder of ABMT.
|
||
On March 13, 2009, the name of the Company was changed from Geostar Mineral Corporation to Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc.
|
||
The merger of ABMT and Masterise was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Masterise (“the accounting acquirer”) and a re-organization by ABMT (“the accounting acquiree”). The financial statements have been prepared as if the re-organization had occurred retroactively.
|
||
Accordingly, these financial statements include the following:
|
(1)
|
The balance sheet consisting of the net assets of the acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the acquiree at historical cost.
|
|
(2)
|
The statement of operations including the operations of the acquirer for the periods presented and the operations of the acquiree from the date of the transaction.
|
ABMT, Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua are hereinafter referred to as (“the Company”)
|
||
(B)
|
Principles of consolidation
|
F-6
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ABMT and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Masterise and its 70% owned subsidiary, Shenzhen Changhua. The noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling stockholders’ 30% proportionate share of the results of Shenzhen Changhua.
|
||
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
||
(C)
|
Use of estimates
|
|
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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.
|
||
(D)
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
|
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of less than three months. As of October 31, 2011 and 2010, all the cash and cash equivalents were denominated in United States Dollars (“US$”), Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the United States of America, Hong Kong and PRC. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government.
|
||
(E)
|
Property and equipment
|
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
|
||
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value over the assets estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the assets are 5 years.
|
||
(F)
|
Long-lived assets
|
|
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the FASB Codification Topic 360 (ASC 360) “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. In accordance with ASC Topic 360, long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, when undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value. The long-lived assets of the Company, which are subject to evaluation, consist primarily of property and equipment. For the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has not recognized any allowances for impairment.
|
||
(G)
|
Fair value of financial instruments
|
|
FASB Codification Topic 825(ASC Topic 825), “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of other receivables and prepaid expenses, due from related parties, other payables and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
|
||
(H)
|
Government grant
|
|
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company complies with any conditions attached to them and the grants will be received.
|
||
In April 2011, the Company was informed of approval of one grant totaling $244,479 under the Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Grants Program. The Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Grants Program was included in the healthcare reform legislation, and established a one-time pool of $1 billion for grants to small biotechnology companies developing novel therapeutics which show potential to: (a) result in new therapies that either treat areas of unmet medical need, or prevent, detect, or treat chronic or acute diseases and conditions; (b) reduce long-term health care costs in the United States; or (c) significantly advance the goal of curing cancer within a 30-year period. The grant was received on May 6, 2011. There are no matching funding requirements or other requirements necessary to receive the funding and, therefore, the grant is classified as other income.
|
||
(I)
|
Income taxes
|
|
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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
|
F-7
in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period included the enactment date.
|
||
(J)
|
Research and Development
|
|
Research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed as incurred. Total expenditure on research and development charged to general and administrative expenses for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from September 25, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2011 was $19,734, $11,686 and $138,767 respectively.
|
||
(K)
|
Foreign currency translation
|
|
ABMT, Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua maintain their accounting records in their functional currencies of US$, HK$and RMB respectively.
|
||
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.
|
||
The financial statements of Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua (whose functional currency is HK$and RMB respectively) are translated into US$using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity.
|
||
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HK$and RMB into US$for the purposes of preparing the financial statements were as follows:
|
October 31,2011
|
October 31, 2010
|
|||
Balance sheet items, except for share capital, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficits, as of year end
|
US$1=HK$7.7641=RMB6.3547
|
US$1=HK$7.7524=RMB6.67180
|
||
Amounts included in the statements of operations and cash flows for the year
|
US$1=HK$7.7817=RMB6.5119
|
US$1=HK$7.76739=RMB6.80784
|
The translation loss recorded for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from September 25, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2011 was $65,852, $29,063 and $178,961 respectively.
|
||
No presentation is made that RMB amounts have been, or would be, converted into US$at the above rates. Although the Chinese government regulations now allow convertibility of RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that RMB could be converted into US$at that rate or any other rate.
|
||
The value of RMB against US$and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions, Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$reporting.
|
||
(L)
|
Other comprehensive loss
|
|
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB and HK$to US$is reported as other comprehensive gain (loss) in the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity. Other comprehensive loss for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the period from September 25, 2002 (inception) through October 31, 2011, was $65,852, $29,063 and $178,961 respectively
|
||
(M)
|
Earnings per share
|
|
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were diluted. There were no potentially dilutive securities for 2011 and 2010.
|

|
Segments
|
F-8
The Company operates in only one segment, thereafter segment disclosure is not presented.

|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
|
On September 15, 2011 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (the revised standard). The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing both public and nonpublic entities with the option of performing a “qualitative” assessment to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted for certain companies. The Company has assessed the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2011-08 on its consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial position and concluded that there is no impact.
|
||
In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954), which requires healthcare organizations that perform services for patients for which the ultimate collection of all or a portion of the amounts billed or billable cannot be determined at the time services are rendered to present all bad debt expense associated with patient service revenue as an offset to the patient service revenue line item in the statement of operations. The ASU also requires qualitative disclosures about the Company’s policy for recognizing revenue and bad debt expense for patient service transactions and quantitative information about the effects of changes in the assessment of collectability of patient service revenue. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2012. Since the Company is not a health care entity, the standard does not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
|
||
In June 2011 the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends current comprehensive income guidance”. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, companies must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
|
||
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAX

ABMT was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating loss for income tax purposes for 2011 and 2010. ABMT has net operating loss carry forwards for income taxes amounting to approximately $313,376 and 261,232 as of October 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards, will expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2029. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a full, deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded. The valuation allowance at October 31, 2011 and 2010 was $313,376 and $261,232 respectively. The net change in the valuation allowance for 2011 was an increase of $52,144.

GOING CONCERN
|
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,923,483 as of October 31, 2011 that includes a net loss of $487,439 for the year ended October 31, 2011. The Company’s total current liabilities exceed its total current assets by $1,675,568 and the Company used cash in operations of $212,027. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing
|
F-11
and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability 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.
|
|
To continue as a going concern, the Company is actively pursuing additional funding and strategic partners to enable it to implement its business plan. Management believes that these actions, if successful, will allow the Company to continue its operations through the next fiscal year.

The Company was notified that, effective January 29, 2010, the US Audit Practice of Jimmy CH Cheung & Co, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“JCHC”), merged with Baker Tilly Hong Kong Limited (“BTHK”). On March 10, 2010, JCHC resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company and with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, BTHK was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit reports of JCHC on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. However, the Registrant’s audited financial statements as of October 31, 2009 and 2008 contained a paragraph expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 and through March 10, 2010, the Company did not consult with BTHK on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and BTHK did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable even within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 and through March 10, 2010, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and JCHC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of JCHC, would have caused JCHC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We have a separately-designated audit committee of the board. Our board of directors performs audit committee functions. None of our directors are deemed independent. All directors also hold positions as our officers.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.
Indemnification
Under our Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The registrant has no compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which equity securities of the registrant are authorized for issuance.
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the total number of shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares.
