MICROCHANNEL TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2011
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
MicroChannel Technologies Corporation (“the Company”) was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Energy Technologies, Inc. (formerly, Octillion Corp.). New Energy Technologies, Inc. (“New Energy”) spun off the Company’s issued and outstanding shares to New Energy’s shareholders on December 18, 2007, the date on which a registration statement was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company was incorporated under the name MultiChannel Technologies Corporation on February 28, 2005 in the State of Nevada, and changed to its existing name on April 4, 2005.
On October 2, 2007, the Company executed a forward split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the basis of 53.8646 for 1, resulting in 53,864,600 common shares to be issued and outstanding. The effects of the stock split have been retroactively applied to all periods presented.
On April 29, 2005, an Option Agreement (the “ISURF Agreement”) was executed between Iowa State University Research Foundation Inc., (“ISURF”) and the Company, pursuant to which the Company acquired an option to obtain a license to certain nerve regeneration technologies being developed by ISURF. On September 30, 2008, the ISURF Agreement expired, thereby concluding the Company’s research and development of technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration. Upon conclusion of the ISURF Agreement, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology. The Company did not renew the ISURF Agreement or the Sponsored Project Agreement related to the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology. The Company is currently undertaking efforts to identify new commercial opportunities.
Note 2. Going Concern Uncertainties
The Company is a development stage company, has not generated any revenues, has an accumulated deficit of $428,498 as of February 28, 2011, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business.
Due to the start-up nature of the Company’s business, the Company expects to incur additional losses as it continues to identify and develop new technologies. To date, the Company’s cash flow requirements have been met by $400,000 received from New Energy, its former parent company. Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary. The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investments in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the net proceeds received from any successful financing arrangement will be sufficient to cover cash requirements during the initial stages of the Company’s operations. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
7
Note 3. Presentation of Interim Information
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 2011 or any other interim period. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note 4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
Research and Development
Research and development costs represent costs incurred to develop the Company’s technology, including salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, allocated overhead and facility occupancy costs, supplies, equipment purchase and repair and other costs. Research and development costs are expensed when incurred, except for nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed.
The Company did not incur any research and development expense during the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010. Research and development expense from the period of inception (February 28, 2005) to February 28, 2011 was $175,839, comprised entirely of payments made pursuant to the ISURF Research Agreement. See “Note 6. Option Interest in Nerve Regeneration Technologies.”
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, it has not identified any standards that it believes merit further discussion. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
Note 5. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company does not have any stock options or warrants outstanding that would be anti-dilutive.
For purposes of earnings per share computations, shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of a reporting period are included as outstanding.

Following is the computation of basic net loss per share for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010:

Note 6. Option Interest in Nerve Regeneration Technologies
On April 29, 2005, an Option Agreement (the “ISURF Agreement”) was executed between Iowa State University Research Foundation Inc., (“ISURF”) and the Company, pursuant to which the Company acquired an option to obtain a license to certain nerve regeneration technologies being developed by ISURF. On October 13, 2005, the ISURF Agreement was amended to modify the payment due dates. On November 12, 2007, the ISURF Agreement was amended to extend the ISURF Agreement to September 30, 2008 and increase the total amount due pursuant to the ISURF Agreement by $50,000 (the “Amended ISURF Agreement”). On September 30, 2008, the Amended ISURF Agreement expired, thereby concluding the Company’s research and development of technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration. Upon conclusion of the Amended ISURF Agreement, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology. The Company did not renew the Amended ISURF Agreement or the Sponsored Project Agreement related to the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology.
The consideration payable pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement is summarized as follows:
-
|
Payment of $2,000 in option fees upon execution of the ISURF Agreement;
|
-
|
Payment of $155,839 to support the research project entitled “Conduits with Micropatterned Film for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration” of which $50,000 was due within 90 days of execution of the ISURF Agreement, and four subsequent equal payments of $26,460 each due quarterly, beginning on January 31, 2006. An additional $50,000 was payable in five equal installments of $10,000 each due every two months upon the execution of the Amended ISURF Agreement on November 12, 2007. As of February 28, 2011, the Company has paid $155,839 pursuant to the original ISURF Agreement and $20,000 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.
|
-
|
Contingent upon satisfactory progress and success of the above project, provide an additional $73,166 for the project entitled “Conduits with Micropatterned Films for Optic Nerve Regeneration”. The Company did not initiate the second research project.
|
Due to the inability of the researchers to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in the peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration technologies it was determined that the Company was not obligated to make the remaining $30,000 in payments pursuant to the terms of the Amended ISURF Agreement. During the period from inception (February 28, 2005) to February 28, 2011, the Company recorded research and development expense of $175,839 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, and are generally identifiable by use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements are expressed in good faith and based upon a reasonable basis when made, but there can be no assurance that these expectations will be achieved or accomplished.
Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) the potential markets for our technologies, our potential profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategies, (c) expectations from our ongoing research and development activities, (d) anticipated trends in the technology industry, (e) our future financing plans, and (f) our anticipated needs for working capital. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in this Form 10-Q generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the matters described in this Form 10-Q generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. In addition to the information expressly required to be included in this filing, we will provide such further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
Although forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, business, economic and other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.
Overview
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
The MD&A is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Background
We were formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Energy Technologies, Inc. (formerly, Octillion Corp.). New Energy Technologies, Inc. (“New Energy”) spun off our issued and outstanding shares to New Energy’s shareholders on December 18, 2007. We were incorporated under the name MultiChannel Technologies Corporation on February 28, 2005 in the State of Nevada, and changed to our existing name, MicroChannel Technologies Corporation, on April 4, 2005.
We are a development stage technology company focused on the identification, acquisition, and development of technologies and products which we believe have the potential for commercialization. Our strategy is to initially acquire rights to technologies and products that are being developed by third parties, primarily universities and government agencies, through cooperative research and development agreements. Until September 30, 2008, our research and development activities were focused on technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration, specifically the development of the Iowa State University Research Foundation Inc. (“ISURF”) Nerve Regeneration Technology. On September 30, 2008, the Option Agreement and Sponsored Project Agreement between us and ISURF expired, thereby concluding our research and development of technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration. Upon conclusion of these agreements with ISURF, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology. We did not renew these agreements with ISURF.
We are currently undertaking efforts to identify new commercial opportunities.
The ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology
On April 29, 2005, we entered into an Option Agreement with ISURF (the “ISURF Agreement”), pertaining to ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology. The ISURF Agreement granted us an exclusive worldwide option to obtain a license to make, use, and sell nerve regeneration products developed from the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology. On October 13, 2005, the ISURF Agreement was amended to modify the payment due dates. On November 12, 2007, the ISURF Agreement was amended to extend the ISURF Agreement to September 30, 2008 and increase the total amount due pursuant to the ISURF Agreement by $50,000 (the “Amended ISURF Agreement”). On September 30, 2008, the Amended ISURF Agreement expired, thereby concluding our research and development of technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration. Upon conclusion of the Amended ISURF Agreement, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology. We did not renew the Amended ISURF Agreement or the Sponsored Project Agreement related to the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended ISURF Agreement, we had the right to negotiate the terms of our license with ISURF upon payment of a flat fee of $2,000 (which was paid) and provide funding for two research projects that were being conducted at ISU through our Sponsored Project Agreement.
Under terms of the Amended ISURF Agreement, we agreed to fund two research projects at ISU, the first of which was titled “Conduits with Micropatterned Films for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration,” in the amount of $205,839. As of September 30, 2008, the expiration date of the Amended ISURF Agreement, we had paid $175,839 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement. Due to the inability of the researchers to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in the peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration technologies it was determined that we were not obligated to make the remaining $30,000 in payments pursuant to the terms of the Amended ISURF Agreement.
Contingent upon satisfactory progress of the above project, we also agreed to provide an additional $73,166 for the second project, titled “Conduits with Micropatterned Films for Optic Nerve Regeneration,” which would test the efficacy of biodegradable micropatterned conduits on optic nerve regeneration. We did not initiate the second research project.

Director and Officer Fees
Through August 31, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) received $1,250 per month and our Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) received $750 per month for their services as executive officers. The Board approved a curtailment in the amount paid to our CFO from $750 per month to $500 per month, effective September 9, 2010.
Non-employee directors receive $250 per month for their services as directors.
Effective September 1, 2010, Mr. Meetesh Patel resigned as a member of our Board of Directors and from all executive officer positions held with us and Ms. Pattiann Hiranandani resigned as a member of our Board of Directors. In order to fill the vacancies created by these resignations, the Board appointed Mr. David Gamache to the positions of President and CEO and Mr. Jeet Sidhu to our Board of Directors.
During the three months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $1,500 and $6,000 as compensation for services provided to us by our executive officers. The decrease of $4,500 is due to the resignation of Mr. Patel, resulting in a decrease of $3,750 during the three months ended February 28, 2011 as compared to the same period of the prior year. Also contributing to the decrease is the curtailment of the amount paid to our CFO, resulting in a decrease of $750 during the three months ended February 28, 2011 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
During the six months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $3,000 and $12,000 as compensation for services provided to us by our executive officers. The decrease of $9,000 is due to the resignation of Mr. Patel and the curtailment of the amount paid to our CFO.
During both of the three month periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $750 as compensation for services provided to us by our non-employee directors.
During both of the six month periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $1,500 as compensation for services provided to us by our non-employee directors.

Professional Fees
Professional fees primarily consist of accounting, audit, tax, legal, and transfer agent fees and fees related to the filing of documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Professional fees decreased $3,601 during the three months ended February 28, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 substantially as a result of a decrease in accounting and audit fees directly attributable to the reduction in services provided while we identify new commercial opportunities.
Professional fees decreased $489 during the six months ended February 28, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 substantially as a result of the decrease in accounting and audit related fees offset by an increase in legal fees due to additional services required of legal counsel upon the resignation of Mr. Patel and Ms. Hiranandani and the appointment of Mr. Sidhu to our Board of Directors (see “Director and Officer Fees” above).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have incurred cumulative losses of $428,498 through February 28, 2011 and do not have positive cash flows from operating activities. Due to the "start up" nature of our business, we expect to incur losses as we continue to identify and develop new technologies. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management recognizes that in order to meet our capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary. We are evaluating alternative sources of financing to improve our cash position and are undertaking efforts to raise capital, but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for us to finance our operations on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank. At February 28, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $134,652. We have financed our operations primarily from $400,000 received from Octillion Corp., our former parent company. This amount was subsequently converted to equity as part of the spin-off in December 2007.
Net cash used in operating activities was $33,812 for the six months ended February 28, 2011 compared to net cash used of $37,588 for the six months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease in cash used in operating activities of $3,776 is primarily due to decreases in amounts paid for director and officer fees of $9,000 (see “Director and Officer Fees” above), offset by an increase in the amount paid for professional fees (see “Professional Fees” above).
Other Contractual Obligations
As of February 28, 2011, we do not have any contractual obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
