NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
annual report on Form 10-K and the exhibits attached hereto contain
“forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concern our
anticipated results and developments in our operations in future periods,
planned exploration and development of our properties, plans related to our
business and matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to
analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results,
estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. We use
words like “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “targets,”
“projects” or “estimates” in this annual report. When used, these words and
other, similar words and phrases or statements that an event, action or result
“will,” “may,” “could,” or “should” result, occur, be taken or be achieved,
identify “forward-looking” statements. Such forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, and
assumptions.
Our
management has included projections and estimates in this annual report, which
are based primarily on management’s experience in the industry, assessments of
our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a
review of information filed by our competitors with the Securities and Exchange
Commission or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place
undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date made. We disclaim 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, except as required by law.
We
qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report by
the foregoing cautionary statements.

Introduction
Hydrodynamic
Technology, Inc. dba Cavitation Technologies, Inc (“Hydro”, or the “Company”),
incorporated on January 29, 2007 in California, is a development stage
enterprise primarily engaged in the application of environmentally friendly NANO
technology based systems. We are a “GreenTech” company whose mission is to make
the world better through our patent pending technologies which have unique,
useful, and environmentally friendly commercial applications in markets such as
vegetable oil processing, renewable fuels, alcoholic beverage
enhancement, water recycling
and desalination, water–oil emulsions, and crude oil yield enhancement. The
systems use our patent pending, multi-stage, continuous flow-through,
hydrodynamic NANO Technology in the form of reliable, cost effective, cavitation
reactors. We believe the application of our technology can dramatically reduce
operating costs and improve yields versus competitive solutions while offering
clients an attractive return on investment.
Research
and development has led to products which include the Green D
De-gumming System, a vegetable oil de-gumming system, and the Bioforce
9000 Reactor Skid
System which performs the
transesterification process during the production of biodiesel.
Our Green D De-gumming
System uses a patent pending NANO Cavitation Process that
converts crude non-degummed vegetable oils into high quality de-gummed oils at
lower costs and higher yields. This system is scheduled for operational testing
before the end of 2009. The global target market for our Green D
System includes approximately 7,000 worldwide vegetable oil de-gumming
processors. The global demand for processed vegetable oils has grown
consistently over the past five years from 118 million metric tons in 2005/6 to
about 133 million metric tons in 2008/09. We believe there will
continue to be growing demand for technology that processes vegetable oils at
lower costs and/or higher yields.
2
We also
offer the fully automated Bioforce
9000 NANO Reactor Skid
System which performs the
transesterification process during the production of biodiesel; that is, it
fully converts all mono-, di-, and tri-glycerides contained in feedstock (such
as animal fats and vegetable oils) into methyl esters (biodiesel). The Bioforce
9000 offers many advantages including the ability to use multiple feedstocks
with up to 3% FFA (free fatty acids) simultaneously. The first commercial
installation of our Bioforce
9000 is
included in a new biodiesel production plant that is expected to be fully
operational in September 2009 in Moberly, Missouri. The global demand for
petroleum-based diesel is about 345 billion gallons/year. We have been impacted
by the downturn in the worldwide economy and the slowdown in the demand for
biodiesel. Factors which can spur the demand for biodiesel and our
products include legislation which mandates increased use of biodiesel, a
reduction in the cost of raw materials (feedstock) used in the production of
biodiesel, and an increase in the price of competitive products such as
petroleum-based diesel fuel. These adverse economic conditions may continue to
negatively affect our revenues and profitability over the near term.
Nevertheless, we intend to lease and license our technology through a global
distribution network of engineering consulting firms and others who design,
build, and recommend biodiesel production systems and vegetable oil de-gumming
systems. It is our intention to be a leader in providing the technology that
will replace petroleum-based diesel fuel with biodiesel.
Both the
Bioforce
9000 and
the Green D+
Plus Systems use
our unique patents pending, continuous flow-through, hydrodynamic NANO Cavitation Technology in the
form of reliable, cost effective, multi-stage cavitation
reactors. Our NANO
technology process creates particles smaller than one micron (nano
particles) and bonds these particles at the molecular level in nano seconds
thereby creating a low cost, high quality finished product that reduces energy
requirements and other operating costs and improves yield versus other
solutions. These reactors have no moving parts and are scalable to any
volume.
Our
success will depend in part on our 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. We have seven patent applications
pending in the US and have applied for three international
patents. We intend to apply for new patents on a regular basis. Our
patents pending apply to potential commercial
applications in markets such as vegetable oil processing, renewable fuels
production, waste water treatment, water–oil emulsions, crude oil yield
enhancement, and alcoholic beverage enhancement. 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. We are a public company with
stock traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board with ticker symbol CVAT. Our
stock is also traded on the Berlin Stock Exchange with symbol WTC-BER. Our only
location is our headquarters in Chatsworth, California. We have four employees
and have engaged approximately 40 consultants and independent
contractors over the past two years.
Employees
As of
June 30, 2009, we employed four full-time employees. We consider our
relationship with employees to be good.

We became
a public company through a reverse merger process that was effected in October
2008. The first day of public trading of our stock was November 11,
2008. Since our fiscal year ends June 30, public trading of our stock
began in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. As of August 12, 2009 there were 57
holders of record of our Common Stock. This does not reflect the number of
persons or entities who hold stock in nominee or “street” name through
various brokerage firms.
Dividend Policy. We
have neither declared nor paid any dividends on our Common Stock in the
preceding two fiscal years. We currently intend to retain future earnings to
fund ongoing operations and finance the growth and development of our business
and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on our
Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Any future decision to declare or pay
dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be
dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital
requirements, and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.
In addition, certain of our debt facilities contain restrictions on the
declaration and payment of dividends.
Our Series A Preferred Stock bears a
6% cumulative dividend per annum. Dividends may be paid in cash or in
additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at the Company’s
preference.

share exchange agreement, Bio performed a 7.5-to-1 forward stock split of its
outstanding shares of common stock.
On
October 24, 2008, in connection with the reverse merger, 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 of the merger with Bio, the Company no longer has
any Series A-1 Preferred Stock authorized or issued. In connection with the Bio
transaction, 410,000 warrants to purchase 410,000 shares of Common Stock of
Hydro converted into 279,800 warrants to purchase 279,800 shares of Common Stock
of Bio.
On March
17, 2009, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation,
which authorized the Company to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock
and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 5,000,000 shares are
designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 shares are designated
Series B Preferred Stock, with the rights, preferences and privileges of the
Series B Preferred Stock to be designated by the Board of
Directors. Each share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock has a par
value of $0.001.
On March
17, 2009 the Company issued 111,111 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock at a purchase price of $0.90/share, which was equal to the closing price
of the Company’s Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the
purchase by the Subscriber. The preferred stock was issued to a foreign
accredited investor for a purchase price of $100,000. Each share of
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the owner’s option into 1.125 shares
of common stock. The preferred shares are convertible into shares of
Common Stock of the Company at any time at the election of the holder but will
automatically convert to Common Stock on March 17, 2012.

7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Overview of Our Business
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.
Management’s
Plan
The
Company is a development stage entity and is primarily engaged in the
development of a bio-diesel fuel production systems (Bioforce 9000 and the
Reactor Skid). The initial focus of the Company’s research and development will
be the generation of products for our target market of US and International
biodiesel 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.
The
Company has no significant operating history and, from January 29, 2007,
(inception), through June 30, 2009, has generated a net loss of $5,177,773. The
Company also has negative cash flow from operations and negative net equity. The
accompanying financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009, the six
month period ended June 30, 2008, the period from January 29, 2007 (date of
inception) through December 31, 2007, and the period from January 29, 2007
through June 30, 2009 have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going
concern.
6
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.
Results
of Operations
In
October 2008, we changed our fiscal year end from December 31st to
June 30th.
Included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K are the consolidated
balance sheets at June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated statements of
operations, consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit and
consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2009, the six
month period ended June 30, 2008, the period from January 29, 2007 (date of
inception) through December 31, 2007, and the period from January 29, 2007
through June 30, 2009. In order to provide the reader with meaningful
comparisons, the following analyses provide comparison of the audited year ended
June 30, 2009 with the unaudited year ended June 30, 2008 (derived from the
results of operations of the last six months of fiscal year ended December 31,
2007 and the transition period ended June 30, 2008) and the unaudited year ended
June 30, 2008 with the unaudited period ended June 30, 2007.
We have
no significant operating history and from January 29, 2007 (date of inception)
through June 30, 2009, we have generated net losses aggregating
$5,177,773.

Revenue
During
2009, the Company received a deposit of $26,000 from a customer relating to an
order for our first operational Bioforce 9000 Reactor Skid
System. Because this transaction has not yet been fully completed, this
amount has been reflected in deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has not
recognized any revenue, although we expect to achieve revenue during
fiscal 2010.

Operating
Expenses
Our
operating expenses for fiscal 2009 amounted to $2,398,086 compared with
$2,430,293 in 2008. Principle components in 2009 were $793,408 in
consulting fees, $307,512 in share-based compensation for services provided,
$442,767 in salaries, and $307,208 in professional service fees such as legal,
audit, and accounting. Compensation for services in the form of stock, warrants,
and options declined from $1,823,400 in 2008 to $1,093,582 in
2009. This occurred as our need for consulting and services to
support our R&D efforts in fiscal 2008, our first full year of operations,
were significant. R&D in 2008 was focused largely on contracting
the services of consultants and independent contractors to help us with the
design and production of various NANO technology reactors and the development of
our Bioforce 9000 Reactor Skid
System. In 2009 R&D was focused more on the design and
development of our Green D
(Vegetable Oil) De-gumming System that incorporates many of the benefits
derived from R&D conducted in 2008. In 2009, the support we received from
outside consultants and independent contractors was focused more on advertising
and marketing. In 2009 we also conducted R&D to develop other
potential commercial applications for our technology including alcoholic
beverage enhancement, water recycling and desalination, crude oil yield
enhancement, and water-diesel emulsion. The increase in salary expense from
$139,556 in 2008 to $442,767 in 2009 occurred as we started paying more salary
to employees. Professional service fees increased from $25,205 to $307,208 in
2009 due largely to costs associated with the Company’s reverse merger, auditor
services, engagement of an outside accounting consultant, and legal expenses
associated with patent filings.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense increased 111% from $46,420 in 2008 to $97,905 in fiscal 2009. This 2009
amount consists of $35,056 in interest charges on our revolving bank line of
credit as well as $62,849 in interest expense linked primarily to convertible
notes payable issued in December 2008 and February 2009. The interest
expense associated with the convertible notes payable included $49,245
attributable to amortization of the warrant value as well as $9,848 in interest
computed on the principle amount at 12% per annum. In 2008, the interest expense
on our revolving bank line of credit amounted to $46,382. There were no notes
outstanding in 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Preferred
Shares
During
fiscal 2008, we raised $500,000 through the sale of 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock. On October 3, 2008, we raised $525,000 through the sale of
1,050,000 shares of preferred stock $400,000 which was used in part to
finance the reverse merger. These series A-1 Preferred Shares were subsequently
converted to common shares when the Company completed its reverse merger in
October 2008. In March 2009 we raised another $100,000 through the sale of
111,111 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock.
Convertible
Notes Payable
In
December 2008 and February 2009 we issued $235,000 in convertible notes payable
which carried an interest rate of 12%. The notes payable subsequently reduced to
$200,000 on June 30, 2009. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010,
$180,000 of the notes converted to 374,124 shares of common stock and the
remaining $55,000 was repaid.
Bank
Line of Credit
At June
30, 2009, we had an outstanding balance of $636,917 from a $700,000 bank
revolving line of credit compared with an outstanding balance of 627,856 at June
30, 2008.
Common
Stock
During
the 4th quarter
of 2009, the company issued 533,332 shares of common stock and 433,332 warrants
in exchange for an investment of $300,000. In fiscal 2008 the
Company issued common stock valued at $1,823,400 as payment for
services.
Share-based
Compensation
During
fiscal 2009, we issued warrants and stock options valued at $453,555 as payment
to service providers. During fiscal 2008, we issued no warrants or stock options
to pay service providers.
8
Working
Capital
At June
30, 2009, accounts payable and accrued expenses were $382,615 compared to
$56,706 at June 30, 2008. This $325,909 increase is attributable mostly to the
accrued salary of the president of the company.
Cash
Flow
Net cash
used in operating activities amounted to $995,292 in 2009 compared with $535,961
in 2008. This was due principally to non-cash items, including stock-based
compensation expense, which declined from $1,823,400 in 2008 to $1,093,585 in
2009. Financing in 2008 was provided by $85,309 in bank financing and
$500,000 in preferred shares. In 2009, bank financing increased by
$9,061, preferred stock, notes payable, and common stock financed $225,000,
$200,000, and $300,000, respectively.
Results
of Operations – Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30,
2007
Because
of the change in our fiscal year to June 30, and given the fact that our company
was founded January 29, 2007, fiscal 2007 includes only the approximate five
months from January 29, 2007 to June 30, 2007. When comparing fiscal
2008 with fiscal 2007 therefore, we are comparing a 12-month period to a 5-month
period using information derived from interim filings.

Revenue
The
Company generated no revenue in fiscal 2007 or 2008.
Operating
Expenses
General
and Administrative Expenses increased 82% from $166,976 in 2008 to $303,327 in
2009. R&D Expenses increased dramatically from $7,567 in 2007 to $2,126,966
in 2008 as the Company issued share-based compensation valued at $1,823,400 to
compensate consultants and independent contractors who contributed to our
R&D effort. In fiscal 2007, there were no such expenditures. In fiscal 2008,
salaries of $139,556 and professional service fees such as legal, audit, and
accounting of $25,205 accounted for 13% of total operating
expenses.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense attributable primarily to our revolving bank line of credit increased
from $8,208 in 2007 to $46,420 in 2008 due largely to the 5-month period in 2007
vs. the 12-month period of fiscal 2008.
9
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On
February 7, 2007, the Company contracted a $700,000 revolving line of credit
from National Bank of California. The outstanding balance on June 30, 2008 and
June 30, 2007 was $627,856 and $457,389 respectively. During fiscal
2008, we issued common stock valued at $1,823,400 to pay consultants and
independent contractors for services provided. We had no such expenses in fiscal
2007. During fiscal 2008, we raised $500,000 through the sale of
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which were then converted into 682,438
shares of common stock. We issued no preferred shares in 2007. Our accounts
payable and accrued expenses increased to $56,706 at June 30, 2008 from
approximately $6,789 at June 30, 2007.
Cash
Flow
Net cash
used in operating activities increased from $421,043 in 2007 to $535,961 in
2008. We financed our cash needs with a line of credit in 2007. In 2008, we
financed our cash flow deficiency with the line of credit and the issuance of
preferred stock.
It is our
intent to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations. In
addition, we expect to fund our operations from revenue generated in fiscal
2010. 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 we
fail to obtain such financing, the company may curtail its
operations.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cavitation
Technologies, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cavitation Technologies,
Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and
cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2009, the six month period ended June 30,
2008, the period from January 29, 2007 (date of inception) through December 31,
2007, and the period from January 29, 2007 through June 30, 2009. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Cavitation Technologies,
Inc. as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2009, the six month period ended June 30,
2008, the period from January 29, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and the period
from January 29, 2007 through June 30, 2009, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since
inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses
are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations
and the costs of operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in this regard are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 - Organization

2 – Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
Management’s Plan Regarding
Going Concern
The
Company is a development stage entity and is primarily engaged in the
development of a bio-diesel fuel production systems (Bioforce 9000 and the
Reactor Skid). The initial focus of the Company’s research and development will
be the generation of products for our target market of US and International

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.
The
Company has no significant operating history and, from January 29, 2007,
(inception), through June 30, 2009, has generated a net loss of $5,177,773. The
Company also has negative cash flow from operations and negative net equity. The
accompanying financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009, the six
month period ended June 30, 2008, the period from January 29, 2007 (date of
inception) through December 31, 2007, and the period from January 29, 2007
through June 30, 2009 have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going
concern.
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.
The
accompanying consolidated 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.
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 19,186,759 (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 28,030,176 shares of common stock
outstanding, consisting of 19,186,759 shares owned by the Company, as well as an
additional 9,280,178 owned by others. The Company warrants and options
converted into warrants and options to purchase 740,430 shares of Bio Common
Stock
16
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. Additionally, Hydro's
stockholders own over 80% of the outstanding shares of Bio after the completion
of the transaction. In connection with the transaction, Bio also changed its
name to Cavitation Technologies, Inc.
In 2008,
the Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31st to June 30th.
Accordingly, the Company is reporting operating results for the six month period
from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008
Note 3 - Significant
Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cavitation
Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaryHydrodynamic Technology, Inc.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated
through consolidation.
Fair Value
Measurement
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”).
FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position Nos. 157-1 and 157-2, which
partially deferred the effective date of FAS 157 for one year for certain
nonfinancial assets and liabilities and removed certain leasing transactions
from its scope. The Company does not expect the implementation of FSP 157-1
and 157-2 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2008, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position No. 157-3, which clarifies
the application of FAS 157 and demonstrates how the fair value of a
financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is
inactive. FSP 157-3 became effective upon issuance. The implementation of
this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
positions, results of operations, or cash flows.
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and other accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short
maturity of these items. The carrying amounts of outstanding debt issued
pursuant to credit agreements approximate fair value because interest rates over
the term of these instruments approximate current market interest
rates.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial
statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Significant estimates are used in valuing our stock
options, warrants, and common stock issued for services, among other items.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
17
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized when: an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred, including
transfer of title and risk of loss for product sales, or services have been
rendered for service revenues; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;
and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues in
accordance wih Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
(“SAB” No. 101, Revenue
Recognition, as amended by SAB No. 104. During 2009 ,the Company received
a deposit of $26,000 from a customer relating to an order for our first
operational Bioforce 9000
Reactor Skid System. Because this transaction has not yet been fully
completed, this amount has been reflected in deferred revenue on the
accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.
Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at
cost, which approximates market value.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment presented at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets. Betterments, renewals, and
extraordinary repairs that extend the life of the assets are capitalized; other
repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and
related accumulated depreciation and amortization applicable to retired assets
are removed from the Company's accounts, and the gain or loss on dispositions,
if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations
Stock-Based
Compensation
Compensation
costs related to stock options are determined in accordance with SFAS
No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments”. Under this method, stock-based
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the
award and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the
stock award using the straight-line method.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires the
recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are
recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at
each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to
the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income
tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income
taxes, if any, represents the tax payable for the period and the change during
the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Advertising
costs
Advertising
costs incurred in the normal course of operations are expensed as incurred.
Advertising expenses amounted to $37,390, $2,204, $ 52,989, and $92,584 for the
year ended June 30, 2009, the six month period ended June 30, 2008, the period
from January 29, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and the period from January 29,
2007 through June 30, 2009, respectively.
18
Research and
Development Costs
Research
and development costs, which relate primarily to the development, design, and
testing of preproduction prototypes and models, are expensed as incurred. Such
costs, were $311,793, $1,893,024, $233,681, and $2,438,948 for the year ended
June 30, 2009, the six month period ended June 30, 2008, the period from January
29, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and the period from January 29, 2007 through
June 30, 2009, respectively.
Subsequent
Events
In
accordance with SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”, the
Company has performed a review of events subsequent to the balance sheet date
through September 28, 2009, the date that the consolidated financial
statements were issued. See note 12 for a discussion of subsequent
events.
Note 4 -
Net Loss Per 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 attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares
outstanding assuming all potential dilutive common shares were issued. Diluted
EPS uses the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, where applicable,
to compute the potential dilution that would occur if stock-based awards and
other commitments to issue common stock were exercised.
On June
30, 2009, the Company had 750,646 stock options and 1,510,901 warrants
outstanding to purchase common stock that were not included in the diluted net
loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. In
addition, the Company had 111,111 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding, which are convertible into approximately 125,000 shares of common
stock. The Company also had $200,000 of convertible notes payable outstanding
that are convertible into approximately 285,714 shares of common stock of the
Company. These items were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss
per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The components of basic and diluted
earnings per share for the year ended June 30, 2009, the six
month period ended June 30, 2008, and the period from January 29,
2007 through December 31, 2007 are as follows:

Note 6 - Bank Revolving Line of
Credit
On
February 7, 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 7% at June 30, 2009 and 6% (1% plus 5% Prime rate) at June
30, 2008. The balance outstanding under this line of credit was $636,917 and
$627,856 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The revolving line of credit
renewed four times. On August 1, 2009, the revolving line of credit
was replaced by a one-year variable rate loan which matures on August 1,
2010. This loan bears interest at Prime + 2.75% and will be repaid
with equal monthly installments of $7,396 beginning September 1,
2009. A final payment of $599,322 is due August 1, 2010. This line of
credit is secured by personal guarantees of the Company’s principals and
assets.
Note
7 - 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 in Convertible Notes Payable
which accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum and are due in April 2009. In
January, 2009 the Company entered into an additional Agreement where the Company
issued an aggregate of $110,000 of notes payable which accrue interest at a rate
of 12% per annum and are due in April and August 2009. Under the
terms of the Agreements, 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 stock for the 10 days immediately
preceding the conversion request.
20
In June
2009, the Company repaid $35,000 of the outstanding balance of the notes payable
plus accrued interest, which resulted in an outstanding balance of $200,000 on
June 30, 2009.
Note
8 – Stockholders’ Equity
Common
Stock
During
the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company completed the following
transactions:
On
October 3, 2008, the Company issued 210,000 units, which are 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 a
net proceed of $525,000 which were placed in Escrow. Upon the closing of the
escrow, $400,000 was used to purchase 50.5% of the outstanding shares of BIO
(See Note 2) and the remaining $125k was distributed to the
company.
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
stockholders. Bio Energy, Inc. issued 19,186,759 shares of its common stock to
the stockholders of Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. in exchange for all the
outstanding shares of Hydrodynamic Technology, Inc. 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.
On
October 24, 2008, in connection with the reverse merger, 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 of the merger with Bio, the Company no longer has
any Series A-1 Preferred Stock authorized or issued. In connection with the Bio
transaction, 410,000 warrants to purchase 410,000 shares of Common Stock
of Hydro, which include the 210,000 warrants above, converted into
279,800 warrants to purchase 279,800 shares of Common Stock of Bio.
On April
22, 2009, the Company issued 166,666 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share
.
In June
2009 the Company issued 366,666 shares of common stock at prices ranging from
$0.50 to $0.60 per share
During
2009, the Company issued 661,303 shares of common stock as payment for services
rendered by outside parties.
Preferred
Stock
On March
17, 2009, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and created two new series of preferred stock, the
first of which is designated Series A Preferred Stock and the second of which is
designated as Series B Preferred Stock . The total number of shares
of Common Stock which this corporation shall have authority to issue is
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of
which 5,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, and 5,000,000
shares are designated as Series B Preferred Stock, with the rights, preferences
and privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock to be designated by the Board of
Directors. Each share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock has a par value of
$0.001.
Series A
Preferred Stock The total number of shares of this preferred stock which
this corporation shall have the authority to issue is 5,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to the closing price of the Company’s
Common Stock the business day immediately preceding the purchase by the
Subscriber. Each share of this preferred stock has a par value of $0.001,
together with warrants, exercisable for a number of shares of common stock of
the Company, $0.001 par value per share equal to 100% of the number of shares of
Common Stock that would be issuable upon initial conversion of the Preferred
Stock, at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. This stock is
convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at any time at the
election of the holder.
21
Series B
Preferred Stock. The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock as Series B Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors
can establish the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B Preferred
Stock. There are no shares of Series B Preferred Stock
outstanding.
During
the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company completed the following
transactions:
On March
17, 2009 the Company issued 111,111 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock at a purchase price of $0.90/share, which was equal to the closing price
of the Company’s Common Stock the business day immediately preceding the
purchase by the Subscriber. The preferred stock was issued to a foreign
accredited investor for a purchase price of $100,000. Each share of
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the owner’s option into 1.125 shares
of common stock. The preferred shares are convertible into shares of
Common Stock of the Company at any time at the election of the holder but will
automatically convert to Common Stock on March 17, 2012.
The
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of any funds
legally available, dividends at the rate of 6% per annum, payable on September
30 and March 30. Dividends shall accrue and be cumulative whether or not they
have been declared. Dividends may be paid in cash or through the
issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the Company’s
option. As of June 30, 2009, cumulative dividends amounted to approximately
$1,733.
Stock
Options
The
Company's stock option plan permits the granting of stock options to its
employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors. The Company
believes that such awards encourage employees to remain employed by the Company
and also to attract persons of exceptional ability to become employees of the
Company.
The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS
123R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense
for all stock-based awards made to employees and non-employee
directors.

The fair
value of the options granted during FY09 is estimated at $307,512. The fair
value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009:

|
These
stock options were fully vested upon being granted and, as a result, the fair
value of these stock options were recorded as an expense on the grant
date.
22
The
Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
The
weighted-average remaining contractual life of options outstanding and
exercisable under the Plan was 8.39 years at June 30, 2009. The exercise prices
for the options outstanding at June 30, 2009 ranged from $1.00 to $2.00. The
intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2009 was
$0.

Note
9 - Income Taxes
On July
15, 2006, FASB released FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes: an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). These new
rules clarify Statement 109 and indicate criteria that an individual tax
position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be
recognized in the financial statements. Because FIN 48 includes a higher
standard that tax benefits must meet before they can be recognized in a
company’s financial statements, the Interpretation dramatically changes how
companies account for uncertain income tax positions. As the Company has no
uncertain tax positions as defined in FIN 48, there are no corresponding
unrecognized tax benefits. Any future changes in the unrecognized tax benefit
will have no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate due to the existence of
the valuation allowance. The Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefit
will not change significantly within the next twelve months. It is the Company’s
policy to classify income tax penalties and interest, if any, as part of general
and administrative expense in its Statements of Operations. The Company has not
incurred any interest or penalties since inception.
The
Company files income tax returns with state and federal jurisdictions. The
Company’s state and federal income tax returns for the tax years ended December
31, 2007 and June 30, 2008 are subject to examination by the taxing authorities
as of June 30, 2009.
The
Company has sustained significant net operating losses since inception and has
generated corresponding net operating loss carryforwards. We are in the process
of evaluating those losses.
At June
30, 2009 and 2008, based on the weight of available evidence, including
cumulative losses in recent years and expectations of future taxable income, we
determined that it was not more likely than not that our deferred income tax
assets would not be realized. Consequently we have recorded a 100% valuation
allowance, which is presented as a reduction of our deferred income tax asset,
which principally arose from our net operating loss carryforwards.

Lease
Agreements
On
January 9, 2007, the Company entered into a 3-year lease agreement for
approximately 6,000 square feet of office space located at 10019 Canoga Ave.,
Chatsworth, CA 91311. The lease provides for monthly rental payments, including
parking and utilities of $4,750 for the first 12 months, and cost of living
adjustments according to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Customers at a
rate not less than 3% per annum, and not greater than 6% per annum. As of June
30, 2009, the Company has a security deposit of $9,500 associated with this
lease.
24
The
Company’s total future minimum lease payments amount to $62,479 for the year

Note
11 – 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.
n
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 a significant
impact on the Company’s 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 adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have an
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 re-measurement 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 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. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 on the
Company’s financial statements will depend on the nature and extent of the
Company’s future use of hedging and derivatives.
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 a significant impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations, or cash flow.
25
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 May
2009 FASB issued Statement 165, Subsequent Events. The
objective of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for
and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular,
this Statement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may
occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. It
requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date
represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be
issued. It also includes the circumstances under which an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements. And thirdly, it addresses the disclosures that
an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the
balance sheet date. An entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual
financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this
accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on our financial
statements.
In June
2009 FASB issued SFAS 167 which is an amendment to FASB Interpretation No. 46
(revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine
whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity. This Statement amends
Interpretation 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise
is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This
Statement amends Interpretation 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative-based risks
and rewards calculation previously required for determining the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity with an approach focused on
identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a
variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance. This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of
each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November
15, 2009. This pronouncement is expected to have no material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
FSP FAS
107-1 and APB 28-1—Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) issued April 9, 2009
amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies
as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No.
28, Interim Financial
Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial
information at interim reporting periods. This FSP shall be effective for
interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This pronouncement is
expected to have no material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
26
In June
2009 FASB issued Statement No. 168 - The FASB Accounting Standards
CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles —a replacement of FASB Statement No.
162. FASB Statement No.
162, The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which became effective on
November 13, 2008, identified the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial
statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with
GAAP. Statement 162 arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy for
users to apply accordingly. Once the Codification is in effect, all of its
content will carry the same level of authority, effectively superseding
Statement 162. In other words, the GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include
only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. This pronouncement
is expected to have no material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
As a
result, this Statement replaces Statement 162 to indicate this change to the
GAAP hierarchy. The Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC
accounting and reporting standards. In the Board’s view, the issuance of this
Statement and the Codification will not change GAAP, and as a result, we do not
believe will have a material impact on the financial reporting responsibilities
of the company. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for
interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We
do not anticipate that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have a
material effect on our financial statements.

$7,396 beginning September 1, 2009. A final payment of $599,322 is
due on August 1, 2010.

None.
ITEM
9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 June 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this
annual 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 June
30, 2009.
Report
of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in
reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation
of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and
expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management
authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our
financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not
intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial
statements would be prevented or detected.
Our
management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“the Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end
of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange
Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and
forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer do not expect that
our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all
fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive
and financial officer have determined that our disclosure controls and
procedures are not effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that
the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of
controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions.
28
Furthermore,
smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting
companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate
duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company's
operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control.
Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting
software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
In
assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we
use the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based
on our assessment using those criteria, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we concluded that for the period ending June 30,
2009, our internal controls over financial reporting are ineffective. We are
searching for additional capital in order to be in a position to address these
material weaknesses. We are also assessing how we can improve our internal
control over financial reporting with the current employees in an effort to
remedy these deficiencies. This annual report does not include an attestation
report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting.

(1) A
beneficial owner of a security is any person who, directly or indirectly,
through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise,
has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct
the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to
dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be
beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the
power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are
deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to
acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of
the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the
percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed
to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such
person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of
outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily
