NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months ended March 31, 2015
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Bio-En Holdings Corp (formerly Olivia Inc.) is a Delaware company (the “Company”), incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 2, 2011. The Company intends to be a world leader of setting the standard for waste to bio-fuel technologies. The Company is planning, designing and executing agreements to build, operate and maintain a bio-mass to energy facility on the Island of Malta.
Effective August 21, 2014, the Company filed with the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing the Company’s name from Olivia, Inc. to Bio-En Holdings Corp.
On August 21, 2014, Bio-En Corp merged with, and into Bio-En Holdings Corp (formerly Olivia Inc.); with Bio-En Corp being the surviving entity of the merger and changing its name to Bio-En Holdings Corp. This transaction closed on September 10, 2014; each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Bio En Corp, was converted into one share of common stock in Bio-En Holdings Corp.
The completion of the Share Exchange/Merger Agreement resulted in a change of control. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization, with Bio-En Corp regarded as the accounting acquirer, since Bio En Corp Shareholders collectively beneficially owned approximately 89.6% of the Common Stock immediately after the Exchange.
Basis of Presentation
The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements are presented in US dollars.
Fiscal Year End
The Corporation has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2015, and for the periods then ended are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2015. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2015. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto do not reflect all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Refer to the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC, for additional information, including significant accounting policies.
Functional and Reporting Currency
The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s functional currency is the Euro. The functional currency for its energy projects is the Euro because Malta, an EU member state is the primary economic environment in which the Company conducts its operations. Assets and liabilities of the Malta project are translated using the exchange rate on the respective balance sheet dates. Items in the income statement and cash flow statement are translated into U.S. Dollars using the average rates of exchange for the periods involved. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income/(loss) within stockholders’ equity.
Euro (“EUR”) amounts have been translated into U.S. Dollars at the representative rate of exchange on March 31, 2015 (USD 1 = EUR 0.82575).
F-5 |
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies are set out below, these policies have been consistently applied to the period presented, unless otherwise stated:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 or revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2015, the Company has a working capital deficit of $410,653 and a loss from operations of $48,089 and an accumulated deficit of $274,770 and has earned no revenues since inception. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2015.
In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company intends to operate in an industry that is subject to rapid change. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential of business failure.
Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at credit-worthy financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000.
Property, Plant and Equipment—net and Construction Work in Progress
The Company does not own any property, plant and equipment and has not commenced development or construction of its planned renewable energy assets.
Property, plant and equipment will consist primarily of development, engineering and construction costs for the renewable energy assets, equipment, land, substations and transmission lines. Property, plant and equipment, excluding land, is recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to 30 years, commencing on the date the assets are placed in service. Maintenance and repairs of property, plant and equipment are charged to operations and maintenance expense, as incurred.
Construction work in progress includes construction materials, turbine generators, solar panel assemblies and other equipment, third-party engineering costs, capitalized interest and other costs directly associated with the development and construction of the various projects. Upon commencement of plant operations, costs associated with construction work in progress are transferred to property, plant and equipment—net.
F-6 |
Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis, and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at amortized cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Research and Development
Internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed.
Royalty Expense
Royalties are calculated as the greater of 3% of gross revenues or $330,000. Royalties are payable within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The first minimum royalty payment of $330,000 (including of VAT) is due 30 days after the first anniversary following the Company receiving initial project development funding, client contract or initiation of engineering and shall be due annually thereafter. Royalties are expensed in the statements of operation in the period that the related revenues are recognized, in cost of sales.
Share Based Payments
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Share-based payments". Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.
Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non–Employees”. The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
Earnings per share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potential dilutive common shares, which comprise options granted to employees.
Common stock equivalents totaling, 30,000 on March 31, 2015 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on the statement of operations due to the fact that the Company reported a net loss in the first quarter of 2015 and to do so would be anti-dilutive.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under 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 in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
F-7 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;
- Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments);
-Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including assumptions in determining the fair value of certain investments).
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
Recent Accounting Standards Updates
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU No. 2014-09 provides comprehensive guidance provides guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from an entity's contracts with customers. The ASU also provides guidance on accounting for certain contract costs, and requires new disclosures. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The firm is still evaluating the effect of the ASU on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have, if any, on its financial statements.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10—Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. ASU 2014-10 eliminates several of the reporting requirements for development stage entities, including the requirement to present inception to date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, and to label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity. ASU 2014-10 also clarifies that the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 275, "Risks and Uncertainties", is applicable to entities that have not commenced principal operations, and eliminates an exception to the sufficiency-of-equity risk criterion for development stage entities, and will require all reporting entities that have an interest in development stage enterprises to apply consistent consolidation guidance for variable interest entities. ASU 2014-10 is effective for all annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 “Preparation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term substantial doubt and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). It also requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans and requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated. The new standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at the current period, management does not believe that it has met conditions which would subject these financial statements for additional disclosure.
F-8 |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
During 2014, the Company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the Company to remove the inception to date information and all references to development stage. We do not believe that the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

The (benefit)/provision for income taxes for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 differ from the amount which would be expected as a result of applying the statutory tax rates to the losses before income taxes due primarily to changes in the valuation allowance to fully reserve net deferred tax assets.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Bio-En Holdings Corp. (“Bio-En”, the “Company”, “we”, and “our”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as its plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Its actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”).
Overview
On September 10, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), Bio-En Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “BHC”) closed on a Share Exchange/Merger Agreement, dated August 21, 2014, (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Bio-En Corp., a Delaware corporation, (“Bio-En”), and (iii) Serena B. Potash, an officer and director of BHC and the majority shareholder of BHC. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Bio-En was merged with and into BHC, with BHC to continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger, and BHC succeeding to and assuming all the rights, assets, liabilities, debts, and obligations of Bio-En (the “Merger”). Although Bio-En Corp.’s fiscal year-end, prior to the Merger, was March 31, the Company’s fiscal year-end remains December 31.
In connection with the Merger, BHC entered into a Cancellation Agreement with Ms. Potash (the “Cancellation Agreement”) whereby Ms. Potash, owning an aggregate of 7,894,625 shares of the BHC’s common stock cancelled 6,024,625 of her BHC shares.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 2, 2011 as Olivia, Inc. On March 27, 2014, the Company filed with the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation changing the Company’s name from Olivia, Inc. to Bio-En Holdings Corp.
The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the development of its business plan, which is pursuing a business of producing and selling ethanol and butanol made from municipal solid waste and other cellulosic fiber. The Company intends to be a world leader of setting the standard for waste to bio-fuel technologies. The Company intends to plan, design, and execute agreements to build, operate and maintain a bio-mass to energy facility on the island of Malta, which is contingent on sufficient capital funding of at least $80-90 million.
The Company intends to enter into an agreement with Applied Biofuels (Malta) Limited whereby all assets of Applied Biofuels (Malta) Limited shall be transferred to a new subsidiary (“Newco”), to be incorporated in Malta, which will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of the date of this Report, no such formal agreement has been finalized.
We expect the planning, design, engineering and signed agreements to build and operate a facility using Gravity Pressure Vessel Technology in Weak Acid Hydrolysis to convert Biomass to Ethanol (“Facility”). As of the date of this Report, no such formal agreements have been finalized. The Facility is expected to ill be built on the Island of Malta and is anticipated be fully operational by the end of the 4th quarter of 2016.
The Facility will combine technologies from the waste management industry and integrate the recycling of waste, control of carbon dioxide and other emissions, with the profitable production of fuel grade Ethanol.
Limited Operating History
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage company and have not generated any revenues to date. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
Revenues
We did not generate any revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Operating Expenses
We incurred total operating expenses of $48,089 and $67,407 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. All of these expenses related to general and administrative expenses.
Net Loss
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred a net loss of $48,089 and $67,407, respectively, a decrease of $19,318. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in legal and consulting fees. As we did not generate any revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015, our net loss equaled our operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at March 31, 2015, the Company has a working capital deficit of $397,708, a net loss of $48,089 and has not earned any revenues to cover its operating costs. The Company intends to fund future operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2015.
The ability of the Company to realize its business plan is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 or revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis, and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Share Based Payments
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Share-based payments". Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.
Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non–Employees”. The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During 2014, the Company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the Company to remove the inception to date information and all references to development stage.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Disclosure of Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934 are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015 and, based on his evaluation, and has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses, which is that we did not sufficiently segregate duties over incompatible functions at our corporate headquarters.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
