BIOETHICS,

[A Development Stage
Company]
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 ASC Topic No. 915. 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 March 31, 2010 and
2009 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, 2009 audited financial statements. The results of operations for
the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.
NOTE
2 - CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock - In July 1990,
in connection with its organization, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its
previously authorized but unissued common stock. Total proceeds from
the sale of stock amounted to $1,000 (or $.001 per share).
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.
Capital Contribution - During
the year ended December 31, 2009, a shareholder of the Company contributed
$17,776 to the Company.
NOTE
3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Compensation -
During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not pay
any compensation to its officers and directors.
Office Space - The Company has not had a
need to rent office space. An officer/shareholder of the Company is
allowing the Company to use his home as a mailing address, as needed, at no
expense to the Company.

TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
Note Payable - In January
2010, the Company signed a $25,000 note payable with a stockholder of the
Company. The note is due on demand and accrues interest at 6% per
annum. At March 31, 2010 accrued interest was $300.
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.

6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the
date the financial statements were issued and determined there are no additional
events to disclose.

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” below and “Risk Factors.”)
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used
in this Form 10-Q, in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), in our press releases or other public or stockholder communications, or
in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer,
the words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely
result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,”
“project,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995.
This
report contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements reflect the Company’s
views with respect to future events based upon information available to it at
this time. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from these statements. These uncertainties and other
factors include, but are not limited to the risk factors described herein under
the caption “Risk Factors.” The words “anticipates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “projects,” “targets” and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date the statement was made. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, changes in assumptions, future events or
otherwise.
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 2009
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 March 31, 2010, the
Company had a
working capital deficit of $10,977 and a deficit accumulated during the
development stage of $114,753. The Company incurred net losses of
$5,810 and $8,687 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. 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 March 31, 2010 Compared to the Fiscal Quarter ended March
31, 2009
The
Company did not conduct any operations during its fiscal quarters ended March
31, 2010 or 2009, respectively, and had no assets other than cash. At
March 31, 2010, the Company had cash in the amount of $19,533 as compared to
cash at December 31, 2009 in the amount of $3,257. The increase in
cash is the result of a $25,000 demand loan from a stockholder during January
2010. At March 31, 2010, the Company had liabilities in the form of
accounts payable $5,210, note payable of $25,000 and accrued interest of $300,
as compared to liabilities in the form of accounts payable of $8,424 at December
31, 2009. The Company had a working capital deficit of $10,977 at
March 31, 2010 as compared to a working capital deficit of $5,167 at December
31, 2009.
The
Company did not generate revenues during the first fiscal quarter of 2010 or
2009. The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of
$5,510 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $8,687 during
the three months ended March 31, 2009. Such expenses consist
primarily of legal and accounting fees as well as taxes and annual fees required
to maintain the Company’s corporate status.
9
Net cash
used by operating activities was $8,724 for the three months ended March 31,
2010 resulting primarily from the net loss of $5,810 and a $3,214 decrease in
accounts payable. Net cash used by operating activities was $1,221
during the three months ended March 31, 2009 resulting primarily from the net
loss of $8,687 partially offset by a $7,466 increase in accounts
payable.
No cash
was provided or used by investing activities during the first three months of
2010 or 2009.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $25,000 for year the first quarter of 2010
as a result of a demand loan from a stockholder which bears interest at 6% per
annum. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 during the
first three months of 2009.
Since the
Company does not generate any revenues from operations, it is dependent on sales
of securities, loans or contributions from its shareholders in order to pay its
operating costs. During the year ended December 31, 2009, a
shareholder of the Company contributed $17,776 to the
Company. However, as of December 31, 2009, such amount had been
spent, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $5,167
and the Company required additional contributions to capital, loans or proceeds
from sales of its common stock in order to continue its
operations. During January 2010, the Company borrowed $25,000 from a
stockholder pursuant to a demand note bearing interest at the rate of 6% per
annum. It is anticipated that the proceeds from such loan will be
sufficient to pay the Company’s costs of operation for at least the next six
months unless the holder of the note demands repayment. In addition,
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 any additional
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 are 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.”
10
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 March 31, 2010, 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 March 31, 2010 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 March 31, 2010 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, 2009, 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.
Item
1. Legal Proceedings.
The
Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings and, to the
best of its knowledge, its properties are not the subject of any such
proceedings.
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
See the
risk factors described in Item 1A of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K
