BIO-EN HOLDINGS CORP
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months ended September 30, 2016
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
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. Bio-En holds a license agreement for a portfolio of patents including Gravity Pressure Vessels and supporting appurtenances (“the licensed technology”).
The Company has planned to design and execute agreements to build, operate and maintain a bio-mass to energy facility on the Island of Malta, utilizing the technology it has licensed. It is currently considering alternative ways of commercializing the technology.
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 September 30, 2016, 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 September 30, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2016. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2016. 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, 2015, 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.
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 September 30, 2016, the Company has a working capital deficit of $423,948 a net loss from operations of $150,125, an accumulated deficit of $596,790, 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, 2016.
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
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the shorter of useful life of the property or the unit of depletion method.
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 September 30, 2016 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 third quarter of 2016 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.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
The (benefit)/provision for income taxes for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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.
F-10
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income.

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 September 30, 2016. 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
Bio-En Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “BHC”) 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.
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 June 30, 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 is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the development of its business plan, which is to exploit commercially the licensed technologies by 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 has been intending 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 Required Capital Funding”). Under that plan, the Company would 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.
In addition, under the plan the Company would expect to finalize 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”). The Facility would 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. The Facility would be expected to be built on the Island of Malta and would become fully operational within two years of the receipt of the Required Capital Funding.
As of the date of this Report, no such formal agreements have been finalized.
Having not succeeded to date in realizing the Required Capital Funding, the Company is considering additional or alternative ways of commercializing the Licensed Technologies.
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 September 30, 2016 and 2015
Revenues
We are still in our development stage and did not generate any revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
Operating Expenses
We incurred total operating expenses of $44,573 and $63,567 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. All of these expenses related to general and administrative expenses.
Net Loss
During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred a net loss of $44,573 and $63,567 respectively, a decrease of $18,994. This decrease was due mainly to decreases in directors’ remuneration and legal and consulting fees. As we did not generate any revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016, our net loss equaled our operating expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015
Revenues
We did not generate any revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
Operating Expenses
We incurred total operating expenses of $145,152 and $159,550 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. All of these expenses related to general and administrative expenses.
Net Loss
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred a net loss of $150,125 and $159,550, respectively, a decrease of $9,425. This decrease was due mainly to decreases in directors’ remuneration and legal and consulting fees. As we did not generate any revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016, our net loss equaled our operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at September 30, 2016, the Company has a working capital deficit of $423,948, a net loss of $150,125, 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, 2016.
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
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 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.
6
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. |
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
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 September 30, 2016 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.
