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.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH
31, 2009
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 the Company, as well as an additional 9,280,178 owned by
others. The warrants 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 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.
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 March 31, 2009
are not indicative of the results that maybe 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 March 31, 2009 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 March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009 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 March 31, 2009, has generated a cumulative net loss of
$4,479,020. The Company also has negative cash flow from operations
and a stockholders’ deficit. The accompanying financial statements for the three
months and nine months ended March 31, 2009 have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate 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.
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.
9
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.
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.
10
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 March 31, 2009, the Company had
545,646 stock options and 436,450 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 $235,000 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 March 31, 2009
and 6% (1% plus 5% prime rate) at June 30, 2008. The balance
outstanding under this line of credit was $636,917 at March 31, 2009 and
$627,856 at June 30, 2008. The maturity date of this loan was Jan 2,
2009, but was extended to May 1, 2009. 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 at rate of 12% per annum and are due on April 30, 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 rate
of 12% per annum and are due on April 11, 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 closing stock for the 10 days immediately
preceding the conversion request.
In
addition, in accordance with the Agreements, the Company issued to the lenders
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 156,666 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an exercise price of between $1.25 and $1.50 per share. The
warrants are vested immediately and have a contractual life of 3.75 to 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 148%, (2) expected life of 1.5 to 2 years, (3) risk free rates
ranging from 0.68% to 1.60% and (4) expected dividends of zero. The
total fair value of the warrants issued amounted to $49,246, which was recorded
as a discount to the face value of the convertible notes payable. As
of March 31, 2009 (unaudited), the remaining discount amounted to $9,099 and the
carrying value of the convertible notes payable amounted to
$225,901.

Stockholders’ Equity
Authorized
shares – As a result of the merger with Bio (see Note 2) the Company was
authorized under its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to issue
Common Stock only. 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 $.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 $.001, together with warrants, exercisable for a number
of shares of common stock of the Company, $.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.
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.
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 issued except as noted
above. Following is a discussion about Preferred Stock issuances prior to the
Bio merger.
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.
12
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

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

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 83,333 warrants to purchase
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share

Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued 111,111 warrants to purchase shares
of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The warrants
vest immediately and have a contractual life of 3.75 years. The total
value of the warrants issued amounted to $20,808. The value was
determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with input assumptions of (1)
volatility of 64%, (2) expected life of 3.75 years, (3) risk free rate of 1.70%,
and (4) expected dividends of zero
10.
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 were 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 85000 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
amount to $21, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying statements 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 March 31, 2009.

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. We expect that the first commercial
installation of the Bioforce 9000 reactor skid system will be operational in May
of 2009 in Moberly, Missouri. 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.

We had no

able to achieve sales during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses increased by $388,607, or 543%, for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 2008. In 2009, we
issued shares of common stock to consultants in payment for their services to
the Company which resulted in expenses of $183,400. We had no such expenses in
2008. In addition, we incurred increased salary and related expenses
of approximately $157,075 in 2009 resulting from the Company having more
employees. We also incurred increased legal and accounting fees of
approximately $61,442 in 2009 due primarily to expenses incurred in conjunction
with the Company’s reverse merger transaction and costs associated with
management engaging an outside accounting consultant during the quarter ended
March 31, 2009.

Research
and Development Expenses
Our
research and development expenses decreased by $1,769,488, or 96% for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 2008. The decrease
resulted from fewer costs associated with the Company’s fabrication and
prototype development

Sales
We had no
sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 or 2008. 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 fourth quarter ending June 30,
2009.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses increased by $1,351,169, or 1,140%, for the
nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 2008. In 2009, we
issued shares of common stock to consultants in payment for their services to
the Company which resulted in expenses of $638,000. We had no such
expenses in 2008. We also issued stock options to employees as
compensation in 2009 resulting in increased expense of $198,620. We
had no such expenses in 2008. In addition, we incurred increased
salary and related expenses of approximately $285,744 in 2009 resulting from the
Company having more employees. We also incurred increased legal and
accounting fees of approximately $177,450 in 2009 due primarily to expenses
incurred in conjunction with the Company’s reverse merger transaction and costs
associated with management engaging an outside accounting consultant during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Research
and Development Expenses
Our
research and development expenses decreased by $1,601,170, or 86% for the nine
months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 2008. The decrease related
primarily to fewer costs associated with fabrication and prototype
development.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense increased by $33,333, or 91.1% for the nine months ended March 31,
2009 as compared to 2008. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31,
2009 increased as compared to 2008 primarily as a result of the Company’s
amortization of convertible debt issued in December 2008 and in February 2009 in
the amount of $40,146. We had no such expenses in 2008.
16
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 March 31, 2009, 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 and an additional
$110,000 through the issuance of convertible notes payable in February
2009. We raised an additional $100,000 in March 2009 through the sale
of 111,111 shares of our Series A preferred stock
As of
March 31, 2009, we had cash of $2,084 as compared to $310,929 at June 30,
2008. The decrease in cash is primarily due to the cash used in
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
As of
March 31, 2009, our total current liabilities, excluding our outstanding line of
credit balance and convertible notes payable, were $167,943, compared to $56,706
at June 30, 2008. Current liabilities at March 31, 2009 included accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, and represented primarily
outstanding amounts for deferred revenue, salaries and professional
fees.
We have
no significant operating history and, from January 29, 2007, (inception),
through March 31, 2009, we have generated a net loss of
$4,479,020. 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.
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.
17
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.
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”)
18
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 March 31, 2009, 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 March 31, 2009.
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 March 31, 2009. 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.
