NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization - Bioethics, Ltd. (“the Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 26, 1990. The Company has not commenced planned principal operations and is considered a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. The Company was organized to provide a vehicle for participating in potentially profitable business ventures which may become available through the personal contacts of, and at the complete discretion of, the Company’s officers and directors. The Company has, at the present time, not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and other relevant factors.

 

Condensed Financial Statements - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the periods then ended have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2008 audited financial statements.

In May 1998, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its previously authorized but unissued common stock. Total proceeds from the sale of stock amounted to $40,000 (or $.004 per share). The issuance of common stock resulted in a change in control of the Company.

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses since its inception and has no on-going operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 5 - LOSS PER SHARE

 

The following data show the amounts used in computing loss per share:

 

 

 

Dilutive loss per share was not presented, as the Company had no common equivalent shares for all periods presented that would affect the computation of diluted loss per share.

 

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through August 11, 2009.

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. The following information contains forward-looking statements. (See “Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”)

 

General

 

The Company is a shell company that conducts no active business operations and is seeking business opportunities for acquisition or participation by the Company.

 

The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company’s 2008 audited financial statements addresses an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, indicating that the Company has incurred losses since its inception and has no on-going operations. The report further indicates that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2009, the Companyhad a working capital deficit of $4,785 and a stockholders’ deficit of $4,785. The Company incurred net losses of $4,096 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $12,783 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company has not entered into any agreements or arrangements for the provision of additional debt or equity financing and there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain the additional debt or equity capital required to continue its operations.

 

The Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2008

 

The Company did not conduct any operations during its fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2009 or 2008, respectively, and had no assets other than cash. At June 30, 2009, the Company had cash in the amount of $1 as compared to cash at December 31, 2008 in the amount of $1,818. The decrease in cash is the result of the payment of a portion of the Company’s accounts payable and expenses, which more than offset the $9,000 capital contribution made by a stockholder during the three months ended June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company had liabilities in the form of accounts payable in the amount of $4,786, as compared to liabilities in the form of accounts payable in the amount of $2,820 at December 31, 2008. The increase in accounts payable is primarily the result of legal and accounting expenses incurred by the Company during the first and second quarters of 2009 in connection with its SEC reports, offset by a $9,000 contribution to capital by a stockholder that was used to pay down accounts payable. The Company had a working capital deficit of $4,785 at June 30, 2009 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,002 at December 31, 2008.

 

The Company did not generate revenues during the second fiscal quarter of 2009 or 2008. The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $4,096 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and $2,605 during the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $12,783 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $6,423 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in such expenses is primarily the result of increased legal and accounting expenses incurred by the Company during the first and second quarters of 2009 in connection with a review of the Company’s 2007 report on Form 10-K by the SEC.

 

Since the Company does not generate any revenues from operations, it is dependent on sales of securities, loans or contributions from its stockholders in order to pay its operating costs. During the year ended December 31, 2007, a stockholder of the Company contributed $15,000 to the Company and during the three months ended June 30, 2009 a stockholder contributed $9,000 to the Company, which contributions were sufficient to pay a substantial portion of the Company’s costs of operation through March 31, 2009. However, as of June 30, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $4,785 and the Company will be required to obtain additional contributions to capital, loans or proceeds from sales of its common stock in order to continue its operations during the remainder of the 2009 fiscal year. In the event the Company locates a suitable candidate for potential acquisition, the Company will also require additional funds to pay the costs of negotiating and completing the acquisition of such candidate. The Company has not entered into any agreement or arrangement for the provision of such funding and no assurances can be given that such funding will be available to the Company on terms acceptable to it or at all.

 

The Company cannot presently foresee the cash requirements of any business opportunity which may ultimately be acquired by the Company. However, since it is likely that any business it acquires will be involved in active business operations, the Company anticipates that an acquisition will result in increased cash requirements as well as increases in the number of employees of the Company.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Due to the lack of current operations and limited business activities, the Company does not have any accounting policies that it believes are critical to facilitate an investor’s understanding of the Company’s financial and operating status.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has not adopted any new accounting policies that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not Applicable. The Company is a “smaller reporting company.”

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, who is our sole officer and director, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009 were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

In connection with an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, using the COSO framework, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer identified a weakness in the Company’s internal control, which arises from the fact that the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers are the same person, which does not allow for segregation of duties. Our management believes the materiality of this weakness is mitigated by the Company’s status as a shell company with no significant assets or liabilities, no business operations and a limited number of transactions each year, and that the weakness does not have a material effect on the accuracy and completeness of our financial reporting and disclosure as included in this report.
