Regarding Forward Looking Statements
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In
addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may
contain statements relating to future results of Cavitation Technologies, Inc.
(including certain projections and business trends) that are “forward-looking
statements”. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected as a
result of certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, without limitation, statements that express or
involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans,
projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but
not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is
expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or
“intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”,
“would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of
historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the actual results or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results or achievements of the Company
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
among others, those set forth herein and those detailed from time to time in our
other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings including those
contained in our most recent Form 8-K. Specifically, this Form 10-Q should be
read in conjunction with our Form 8-K filed on November 14, 2008, which provided
Form 10 type disclosures as required under item 5.06 of Form 8-K. These
forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake
no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise
required by law. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any
such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The
Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements
or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2008
1. Organization and
Business
Hydrodynamic
Technology, Inc. dba Cavitation Technologies, Inc (“Hydro” or the “Company”) was
incorporated on January 29, 2007, in California. The Company has one
office in Chatsworth, California.
The
Company is a development stage enterprise and is primarily engaged in the
development of a bio-diesel fuel production system (Bioforce 9000 and the
Reactor Skid). The initial result of the Company’s research and
development will be the generation of products for our target market of United
States and international bio-diesel producers. The Company’s success
will depend in part on its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secrets,
and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the
United States and other countries. There can be no assurances that
patents issued to the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, or
circumvented, or that the rights granted hereunder will provide proprietary
protection or competitive advantage to the Company.
2.
Basis of
Presentation
On
October 24, 2008, the Company effected a transaction with Bio Energy, Inc., a
non-operating shell company (“Bio”) (the “Transaction”). Under the
terms of the Transaction, Bio performed a 7.5-to-1 forward stock split of its
outstanding shares of common stock. Bio issued 18,750,000 (post
forward split) of its shares of common stock and assumed 410,000 warrants and
675,000 common stock options in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of
the Company. Immediately after the Transaction, there were a total of
28,030,178 shares of common stock outstanding, consisting of 18,750,000 shares
owned by previous stockholders of the Company, as well as an additional
9,280,178 owned by others. The warrants converted to 279,800 Bio Common Stock
warrants and the options converted to options to purchase 460,646 shares of Bio
Common Stock.
The
exchange of Hydro options and warrants for Bio options and warrants constituted
a modification of their original grants as defined in SFAS No. 123(R).
Accordingly, the Company made an assessment of the difference in their fair
values immediately prior to, and immediately after the Transaction. Due to the
relatively short period of time between the original issuance date and the
Transaction date, as well as the fact that the holders received fewer options in
Bio than they had in Hydro, there was no additional compensation expense
recognized as a result of this modification.
From a
legal perspective, Bio acquired Hydro. However from an accounting perspective,
the Transaction is viewed as a recapitalization of Hydro accompanied by an
issuance of stock by Hydro for the net assets of Bio. This is because Bio did
not have operations immediately prior to the merger, and following the merger,
Hydro is the operating company. Hydro's officers and directors serve
as the officers and directors of the new combined entity. Additionally, Hydro's
stockholders own over 80% of the outstanding shares of Bio after the completion
of the transaction.
Given
these circumstances, the Transaction is accounted for as a capital transaction
rather than as a business combination. That is, the Transaction is
equivalent to the issuance of stock by Hydro for the net assets of Bio,
accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is identical to
that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Because the Transaction is accounted
for as a capital transaction, and it occurred prior to the filing of this Form
10-Q, these financial statements represent the financial condition and results
of operations of Hydro.
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q
pursuant to the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange
Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation
are included herein. Operating results for the three month period December 31,
2008 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2009. These unaudited financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company’s Form 8-K filed November 14, 2008.
8
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. The Company uses estimates in valuing stock options,
warrants and common stock issued for services, among other items.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues in accordance to the Securities and Exchange
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, Revenue Recognition, as
amended by SAB 104. As of December 31, 2008, the Company received a
deposit from a customer of $26,000 relating to a sales order not yet
completed. This amount has been reflected in deferred revenue on the
accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2008. As of December
31, 2008, the Company has not recognized any revenue from the sales of its
bio-diesel fuel production systems.
3.
Management’s
Plan
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that
the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Historically, the Company has no revenue, has incurred significant losses, and
has not demonstrated the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from
operations to satisfy its liabilities and sustain operations.
The
Company has no significant operating history and, from January 29, 2007
(inception) through December 31, 2008, has generated a cumulative net loss of
$3,891,178. The Company also has negative cash flow from operations
and a stockholders’ deficit. The accompanying financial statements for the three
months and six months ended December 31, 2008 have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation
of the Company as a going concern.
Management’s
plan regarding this uncertainty is to raise additional debt and/or equity
financing to fund future operations and to provide additional working
capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be
consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company’s
needs, or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual
obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may
curtail its operations.
The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from an inability
of the Company to continue as a going concern.
4. Recent Accounting
Standards
Accounting
standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
change periodically. Changes in such standards may have an impact on
the Company’s future financial position. The following are a summary
of recent accounting developments.
In May
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
No. 162, The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No, 162
identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting
the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements for
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 162 will be
effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval. The Company does not expect
that this statement will result in a change in current
practice.
9
In April
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets.” This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a
recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets.” The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between
the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the
period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under
FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” and other U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This FSP is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The
Company will adopt this FSP beginning July 1, 2009 and it is not believed that
this will have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement).” FSP APB 14-1 addresses instruments commonly referred to
as Instrument C from Emerging Issues Task Force No. 90-19, which
requires the issuer to settle the principal amount in cash and the conversion
spread in cash or net shares at the issuer's option. FSP APB 14-1
requires that issuers of these instruments account for their liability and
equity components separately by bifurcating the conversion option from the debt
instrument, classifying the conversion option in equity, and then accreting the
resulting discount on the debt as additional interest expense over the expected
life of the debt. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and requires
retrospective application to all periods presented. Early application is not
permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this
statement; however, but believes any impact with respect to future debt
transactions could be material.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a company's
derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a)
how and why a company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No.
133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect a company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after November 15, 2008, with earlier adoption allowed. We do not
anticipate that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have a
material effect on our financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS
No.157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the Company for fiscal years
beginning January 29, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued
FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,
which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
We do not anticipate that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement
will have a material effect on our financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No.
51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for the non--controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and
disclosure requirements for existing minority interests, of which the Company
currently has none. All other requirements of SFAS No. 160 shall be
applied prospectively. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company anticipates that SFAS No. 160
will not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
10
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations, which
revises current purchase accounting guidance in SFAS 141, Business Combinations. SFAS
No. 141R requires most assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination to be measured at their fair values as of the date of
acquisition. SFAS No. 141R also modifies the initial measurement and
subsequent remeasurement of contingent consideration and acquired contingencies,
and requires that acquisition related costs be recognized as expense as incurred
rather than capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition. SFAS
No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008 and is to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring after
adoption. The impact of SFAS No. 141R on the Company’s financial statements
will depend on the nature and extent of the Company’s future acquisition
activities.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits
companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings.
SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the entity’s first fiscal year
that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS
No. 159 did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. FAS-158 requires
employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer
defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in
their financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for the
Company as of the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. The adoption of
SFAS No. 158 did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed
by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future
financial statements.
5. Net Loss per Common Share –
Basic and Diluted
The
Company computes loss per common share using SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per
Share. The net loss per common share, both basic and diluted,
is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the
period. The diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
by the weighted average shares outstanding assuming all dilutive potential
common shares were issued. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had
545,646 stock options and 359,800 warrants outstanding to purchase common stock
that were not included in the diluted net loss per common share due to the
options and warrants being anti-dilutive. In addition, the Company
had $125,000 of convertible notes payable outstanding (see Note 8) which are
convertible into common stock of the Company that were not included in the
diluted net loss per common share due to the amounts being
anti-dilutive. As such, the basic and diluted loss per common share
equals the net loss, as reported, divided by the weighted average common shares
outstanding for the respective periods.

respectively.
7.
Line of
Credit
On
February 2, 2007, the Company contracted a $700,000 revolving line of credit
from National Bank of California. The line of credit bears interest
at Prime plus 1%, which was 4.25% (1% plus 3.25% prime rate) at December 31,
2008 and June 30, 2008. The balance outstanding under this line of
credit was $636,917 at December 31, 2008 and $627,856 at June 30,
2008. The maturity date of this loan was July 2, 2008, but was
extended to January 2, 2009. The loan has since expired and the
Company is in the process of renegotiating the terms and conditions with the
bank. This line of credit is personally guaranteed by the Company’s major
shareholders and Board members, and secured by the assets of the
Company.
8.
Convertible Notes
Payable
In
December 2008, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(the “Agreement”), where the Company issued an aggregate of $125,000 of notes
payable which accrue interest a rate of 12% per annum and are due on April 30,
2009. Under the terms of the Agreement, the lenders may convert all
principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a
conversion rate equal to the average closing price of the Company’s closing
stock for the 10 days immediately preceding the conversion request.
In
addition, in accordance with the Agreement, the Company issued to the lenders
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 83,333 shares of the Company’s common stock
at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants are vested
immediately and have a contractual life of 4 years. The fair value of
each warrant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
valuation model with input assumptions of (1) volatility of 64%, (2) expected
life of 2 years, (3) risk free rates ranging from 0.68% to 0.74%, and (4)
expected dividends of zero. The total fair value of the warrants
issued amounted to $26,357, which was recorded as a discount to the face value
of the convertible notes payable. As of December 31, 2008
(unaudited), the remaining discount amounted to $24,202 and the carrying value
of the convertible notes payable amounted to $100,798.
9.
Stockholders’
Equity
Authorized shares –
As a result of the merger with Bio (see Note 2) the Company is currently
authorized under its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to issue
Common Stock only. The total number of shares of Common Stock which this
corporation shall have authority to issue is 100,000,000 shares. Each share of
Common Stock has a par value of $.001.
Series A-1 Preferred
Stock – As a result of the merger with Bio (see Note 2) the Company no
longer has any Preferred Stock authorized or issed. Following is a discussion
about Preferred Stock issuances prior to the Bio merger.
12
On March
31, 2008, the Company issued 200,000 units comprised of five shares of its
Series A-1 Preferred Stock (total of 1,000,000 preferred shares) and one warrant
to purchase one share of common stock at $0.75 per share for a total
consideration of $500,000.
On
October 3, 2008, the Company issued 210,000 units comprised of five shares of
its Series A-1 Preferred Stock (total of 1,050,000 preferred shares) and one
warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $0.75 per share for total
proceeds of $525,000, which were placed in escrow. Upon the closing
of escrow on October 3, 2008, $400,000 was used to purchase 50.5% of the
outstanding shares of Bio (see Note 2), and the remaining $125,000 was
distributed to the Company.
On
October 24, 2008, in connection with the reverse merger (see Note 2), all shares
of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were converted to common shares of Bio. The
accompanying financial statements have retroactively shown the recapitalization
for all periods presented. As a result, there is no Preferred stock shown in the
balance sheets or statements of stockholders’ deficit.
Dividends – The
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock were
entitled to receive , out of any funds legally available therefore, dividends at
the rate of $0.12 and $0.05 per share per annum, respectively, payable in
preference to any payment of any dividend on Common Stock. After payment of such
dividends, any additional dividends declared shall be payable entirely to the
holders of Common Stock. The right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to
receive dividends shall be cumulative, and shall accrue to holders of Series A
Preferred Stock if such dividends are not paid in any prior year.
Stock Split - In
March 2008, the board of directors approved a 2,100-to-1 forward stock split of
the Corporation’s common stock, which was distributed on March 31, 2008 to
stockholders of record on January 29, 2007.
On
October 24, 2008, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Bio
in which Bio acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s
shareholders (see Note 2). Under the terms of the share exchange
agreement, Bio performed a 7.5-to-1 forward stock split of its outstanding
shares of common stock.
The
common stock activity for all periods presented in the accompanying financial
statements have been restated to give retroactive recognition to these stock
splits and the conversion to Bio shares. In addition, all references in the
financial statements and notes to financial statements to weighted average
number of shares, per share amounts, and market prices of the Company’s common
stock have been restated to give retroactive recognition to the stock
split.
Warrants – On March
31, 2008 in conjunction with the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, the Company issued 200,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants vest immediately
and have a contractual life of 5 years. The total value of the
warrants issued amounted to $47,879, which has been reflected as a dividend to
preferred stockholders in the accompanying financial statements. The
value was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with input
assumptions of (1) volatility of 148%, (2) expected life of 2.5 years, (3) risk
free rate of 1.79%, and (4) expected dividends of zero.
On
October 3, 2008, in conjunction with the issuance of a total of 1,050,000 shares
of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Company issued 210,000 warrants to purchase
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The
warrants vest immediately and have a contractual life of 5 years. The
total value of the warrants issued amounted to $50,291, which has been reflected
as a dividend to preferred shareholders in the accompanying financial
statements. The value was determined using the Black-Scholes
valuation model with input assumptions of (1) volatility of 148%, (2) expected
life of 2.5 years, (3) risk free rate of 1.86%, and (4) expected dividends of
zero.
On
October 24, 2008, in connection with the Bio transaction (see Note 2), 410,000
warrants in Hydro converted to 279,800 warrants in Bio.
In
December 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 80,000 warrants to purchase
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share
(see Note 8).

Share Based
Compensation
On July
21, 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) that
provides for the granting of stock options to certain key
employees. The Plan reserves 4,000,000 shares of common stock.
Options under the Plan are to be granted at no less than fair market value of
the shares at the date of grant.
On
August 1, 2008, the Company issued 660,000 stock options to purchase shares of
the Company’s common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.68 per
share. The options vested immediately and have a contractual life of
10 years. The total value of the options issued on August 1, 2008
amounted to $194,030, which is included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying statement of operations.
On
October 1, 2008, the Company issued 15,000 stock options to purchase shares of
the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1 per share. The
options vest immediately and have a contractual life of 10 years. The
total value of the options issued on October 1, 2008 amounted to $4,590, which
is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement
of operations.
On
October 24, 2008, 675,000 options in Hydro converted to 460,646 options in Bio
(see Note 2).
On
October 28, the Company issued 85,000 stock options to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2 per share. The
options vest immediately. Of the 85,000 options issued, 50,000 have a
contractual life of nine months from issuance and the remaining 35,000 have a
contractual life of ten years. The total value of the options issued
on October 28, 2008 amounted to $21, which is included in general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of
operations.
The fair
value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model The expected volatility was based on
volatilities of other publicly traded development stage companies in the
Company’s industry. The expected term of the options granted was
estimated to represent the period of time that options granted are expected to
be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual
life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the
time of grant. Assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the
options issued are as follows.

Income
Taxes
Under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting,
the Company is required to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be
consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company is also
required to record the tax impact of certain discrete items, unusual or
infrequently occurring, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances
and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they
occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or a
year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the
estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could
result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter,
based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual
projections.
Hydro, in its capacity as the operating
company taking over Bio’s income tax positions in addition to its own positions
after October 24, 2008 (see Note 2), has estimated its annual effective tax rate
to be zero. This is based on an expectation that the combined entity will
generate net operating losses in the year ending June 30, 2009, and it is not
more likely than not that those losses will be recovered using future taxable
income. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been recorded as of and for
the period ended December 31, 2008.
Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
The following discussion and
analysis of should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial
statements and the related notes. 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.

Overview
Hydrodynamic
Technology, Inc. dba Cavitation Technologies, Inc (Company) was incorporated
January 29, 2007, in California. We have one office in Chatsworth,
California.
We are a
development stage enterprise that is primarily engaged in the development of a
bio-diesel fuel production system (Bioforce 9000 and the Reactor
Skid). The initial focus of the Company’s research and development is
the generation of products for our target market of US and International
bio-diesel producers. The Company’s success will depend in part on
its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secrets, and operate without
infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and
other countries. There can be no assurances that patents issued to
the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that the
rights granted hereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive
advantage to the Company.

Sales
We had no
sales for the three months ended December 31, 2008 or 2007. In December 2008, we
received a deposit for the sale of our first operational bio-diesel production
system. As the specifics of the sale had not yet been finalized, we deferred
this revenue until such time as we have a fully documented contract of sale. We
believe this will be during our fiscal third quarter ending March 31,
2009.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses increased by $645,135, or 4,175.4%, for the
three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to 2007. In 2008, we
issued shares of common stock to consultants in payment for their services to
the Company which resulted in expenses of $444,500. We had no such
expenses in 2007. We also issued stock options to employees as
compensation in 2008 resulting in increased expense of $4,590. We had
no such expenses in 2007. In addition, we incurred increased salary
and related expenses of approximately $74,000 in 2008 resulting from the Company
having more employees. We also incurred increased legal and
accounting fees of approximately $58,000 in 2008 due primarily to expenses
incurred in conjunction with the Company’s reverse merger
transaction.
Research
and Development Expenses
Our
research and development expenses increased by $44,060, or 955.5% for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to 2007. The increase
related primarily to additional expenses during 2008 associated with fabrication
and prototype development, as well as the cost of raw feed stock for testing our
Bio Force system.

Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the three months ended December 31, 2008 remained consistent as
compared to 2007 as a result of the Company’s overall debt
levels remaining constant.

received a deposit for the sale of our first operational bio-diesel production
system. As the specifics of the sale had not yet been finalized, we deferred
this revenue until such time as we have a fully documented contract of sale. We
believe this will be during our fiscal third quarter ending March 31,
2009.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses increased by $972,693, or 2,640.4%, for the
six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to 2007. In 2008, we
issued shares of common stock to consultants in payment for their services to
the Company which resulted in expenses of $444,500. We had no such
expenses in 2007. We also issued stock options to employees as
compensation in 2008 resulting in increased expense of $198,620. We
had no such expenses in 2007. In addition, we incurred increased
salary and related expenses of approximately $118,000 in 2008 resulting from the
Company having more employees. We also incurred increased legal and
accounting fees of approximately $112,000 in 2008 due primarily to expenses
incurred in conjunction with the Company’s reverse merger
transaction.
Research
and Development Expenses
Our
research and development expenses increased by $168,318, or 1,645.7% for the six
months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to 2007. The increase
related primarily to additional expenses during 2008 associated with fabrication
and prototype development, as well as the cost of raw feed stock for testing our
Bio Force system.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense decreased by $5,160, or 19.5%, for the six months ended December 31,
2008 as compared to 2007. In 2008, we had a higher average
outstanding debt balance than during 2007. The additional convertible
debt issued in December 2008 did not result in a significant amount of interest
expense, as it was only outstanding for a short period of time during the six
months ended December 31, 2008. Additionally, as a result of the interest on our
line of credit being tied to Prime, the interest rate was lower in 2008 than in
2007.
17
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
principal source of funds has been from borrowings under a line of credit
agreement, as well as money raised from the sale of preferred
stock. At December 31, 2008, we had borrowings of $636,917 compared
with $627,856 at June 30, 2008. In addition, on March 31, 2008, we
raised $500,000 through the sale of 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock and
on October 3, 2008, we raised $125,000 through the sale of 1,050,000 shares of
our preferred stock. We also raised an additional $125,000 through
the issuance of convertible notes payable in December 2008.
As of
December 31, 2008, we had cash of $78,528 as compared to $310,929 at June 30,
2008. The decrease in cash is primarily due to the cash used in
operations for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
As of
December 31, 2008, our total current liabilities, excluding our outstanding line
of credit balance and convertible notes payable, were $117,901, compared to
$56,706 at June 30, 2008. Current liabilities at December 31, 2008 included
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, and represented
primarily outstanding amounts for salaries and professional fees.
We have
no significant operating history and, from January 29, 2007 (inception) through
December 31, 2008, we have generated a net loss of
$3,891,178. Management’s plan is to raise additional debt and/or
equity financing to fund future operations and to provide additional working
capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be
consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company’s
needs, or that the Company will be able to meet its future contractual
obligations. Should management fail to obtain such financing, the Company may
curtail its operations.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
No. 162, The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No, 162
identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting
the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements for
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 162 will be
effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval. The Company does not expect
that this statement will result in a change in current
practice.
In April
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets.” This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a
recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets.” The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between
the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the
period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under
FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” and other U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This FSP is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The
Company will adopt this FSP beginning July 1, 2009 and it is not believed that
this will have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement).” FSP APB 14-1 addresses instruments commonly referred to
as Instrument C from Emerging Issues Task Force No. 90-19, which
requires the issuer to settle the principal amount in cash and the conversion
spread in cash or net shares at the issuer's option. FSP APB 14-1
requires that issuers of these instruments account for their liability and
equity components separately by bifurcating the conversion option from the debt
instrument, classifying the conversion option in equity, and then accreting the
resulting discount on the debt as additional interest expense over the expected
life of the debt. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and requires
retrospective application to all periods presented. Early application is not
permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this
statement; however, but believes any impact with respect to future debt
transactions could be material.
18
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a company's
derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a)
how and why a company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No.
133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect a company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after November 15, 2008, with earlier adoption allowed. We do not
anticipate that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have a
material effect on our financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS
No.157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the Company for fiscal years
beginning January 29, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued
FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,
which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No.
51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for the non--controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and
disclosure requirements for existing minority interests, of which the Company
currently has none. All other requirements of SFAS No. 160 shall be
applied prospectively. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company anticipates that SFAS No. 160
will not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations, which
revises current purchase accounting guidance in SFAS 141, Business Combinations. SFAS
No. 141R requires most assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination to be measured at their fair values as of the date of
acquisition. SFAS No. 141R also modifies the initial measurement and
subsequent remeasurement of contingent consideration and acquired contingencies,
and requires that acquisition related costs be recognized as expense as incurred
rather than capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition. SFAS
No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008 and is to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring after
adoption. The impact of SFAS No. 141R on the Company’s financial statements
will depend on the nature and extent of the Company’s future acquisition
activities.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits
companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings.
SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the entity’s first fiscal year
that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS
No. 159 did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. FAS-158 requires
employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer
defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in
their financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for the
Company as of the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. The adoption of
SFAS No. 158 did not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed
by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future
financial statements.
19
We do not
believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial
position, or cash flows.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
foregoing discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that the
following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our
accounting policies that affect our financial statements.
Basis
of Presentation
On
October 24, 2008, the Company effected a transaction with Bio Energy, Inc., a
non-operating shell company (“Bio”) (the “Transaction”)
From a
legal perspective, Bio acquired Hydro. However from an accounting perspective,
the Transaction is viewed as a recapitalization of Hydro accompanied by an
issuance of stock by Hydro for the net assets of Bio. This is because Bio did
not have operations immediately prior to the merger, and following the merger,
Hydro is the operating company. Hydro's officers and directors will
serve as the officers and directors of the new combined entity.
Given
these circumstances, the Transaction is accounted for as a capital transaction
rather than as a business combination. That is, the Transaction is
equivalent to the issuance of stock by Hydro for the net assets of Bio,
accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is identical to
that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Because the Transaction is accounted
for as a capital transaction, and it occurred prior to the filing of this Form
10-Q, these financial statements represent the financial condition and results
of operations of Hydro.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. We use estimates in valuing our stock options, warrants
and common stock issued for services, among other items.
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and development costs consist of expenditures for the research and development
of new product lines and technology. These costs are primarily
payroll and payroll related expenses and costs of various sample
parts. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a
smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under
this item pursuant to paragraph (e) of Regulation S-K.

Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2008, the end of the period covered by
this quarterly report. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that, due to the existence of
material weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as
of December 31, 2008.
Management
identified material weaknesses which were reported in our Current Report on Form
8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2008,
under Risk Factors and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no changes to the
identified material weaknesses.
In an
effort to mitigate and remediate some of these material weaknesses, management
engaged an outside accounting consultant during the quarter ended December 31,
2008. In addition, we have started to identify ways to improve our standards and
procedures, including upgrading and establishing controls over the accounting
system to ensure we have appropriate internal control over financial
reporting.
Based on
the evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during our last fiscal quarter, identified in connection with that
evaluation, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
