FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-UNAUDITED

Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q
and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal
recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been
included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2008
are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending
December 31, 2008. For further information refer to the financial statements
and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis of
accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of
assets
and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The
accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might
result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company
does
not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations,
which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and
appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among
other
things, additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its
shareholders since its’ inception , and believes this funding will continue, and
is also actively seeking new investors. Management believes the existing
shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional
cash
needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the
development of its core of business.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
This
summary of significant accounting policies of Carbon Sciences, Inc. is
presented
to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies
conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Development
Stage Activities and Operations
The
Company is in its initial stages of formation and has insignificant revenues.
FASB #7 defines a development stage activity as one in which all efforts
are
devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned
principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the
time of
shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists,
title and
risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable,
and
collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, the
Company
has had no revenues and is in the development stage.
Cash
and Cash Equivalent
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity
of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
|
Loss
per Share Calculations
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128 for the
calculation of “Loss per Share”. SFAS No. 128 dictates the calculation of basic
earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
are
computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per
share
is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator
is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would
have been
outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional
common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as
the basic loss per share for the period ended June 30, 2008 as the inclusion
of
any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the
Company
generating a loss.
Reclassification
The
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were reclassified to conform
with the expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
3.
|
CAPITAL
STOCK
|
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued no shares of common
stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company through a
private
placement issued 3,155,000 shares of common stock for cash of $315,500
at a
price of $0.10 the private placements, were made in reliance upon an exemption
from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section
4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933.
4.
|
INCOME
TAXES
|
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and
the state
of California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to
U.S.
federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities
for years before 2006.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. Deferred income taxes
have been
provided by temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax
purposes. To the extent allowed by GAAP, we provide valuation allowances
against
the deferred tax assets for amounts when the realization is
uncertain.
Included
in the balance at June 30, 2008, are no tax positions for which the ultimate
deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about
the
timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting,
other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility
period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate
the
payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
The
Company's policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized
tax
benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating
expenses.

ITEM
2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Certain
statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements. In some
cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may,"
"will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of such terms, or other
comparable terminology. All statements other than statements of historical
fact
made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein
regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial
position are forward-looking statements. Because such statements include risks
and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed
or
implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including, but not limited to, risks associated with the integration of
businesses following an acquisition, competitors with broader product lines
and
greater resources, emergence into new markets, the termination of any of our
significant contracts, our inability to maintain working capital requirements
to
fund future operations, or our inability to attract and retain highly qualified
management, technical and sales personnel.
We
are
developing a technology to transform harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into high
value, earth-friendly products. We call this technology GreenCarbon Technology.
The Company’s management believes that energy and CO2 intensive
industries, such as paper production, will welcome this innovative clean
technology because it offers two very important benefits –
lower
cost and carbon neutrality.
This
initial application of the Company’s technology is a process that will transform
CO2 into a high value chemical compound, currently used in the manufacture
of
paper, pharmaceuticals and plastics.
We
were
incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 25, 2006, as Zingerang, Inc.
Our
name was changed to Carbon Sciences, Inc. on April 9, 2007. Our principal
executive offices are located at 50 Castilian Dr. Suite C, Santa Barbara,
California 93117, and our telephone number is (805) 690-9090. Our fiscal year
end is December 31

Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On
an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment
of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and
fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base
our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as
the
trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows,
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however,
we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items,
are reasonable.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue on product sales is
recognized when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is
received from the customer, the selling price is fixed, title to the goods
has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the
sales proceeds. We obtain written purchase authorizations from
our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price
and consider delivery to have occurred at the time
of shipment. Revenue is recognized at shipment and we
record a reserve for estimated sales returns, which
is reflected as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition.
We defer revenue on products sold directly to the consumer with a fifteen day
right of return. Revenue is recognized upon the expiration of the right of
return.
Revenues
from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price
contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion
method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis).
Revenues from research and development activities relating to
cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus a portion of
estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred to
total estimated costs. Contract costs include all direct
material and labor costs and an allocation of allowable
indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to
reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the
other party.
Use
of Estimates
In
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to
recording net revenue, collectibility of accounts receivable, useful lives
and
impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory
realization, stock-based compensation expense and other factors. Management
believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates.
Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company's cash, cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and accounts
payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two FASB Staff
Positions - FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided
by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP FAS 109-2 Accounting and
Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within
the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Neither of these affected the Company as
it
does not participate in the related activities.
10
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and represents another step in the FASB’s goal to converge its standards with those issued by the IASB. Among other changes, Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of Statement 154 and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS – THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE THREE
AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007
Selling
and Marketing Expenses
Selling
and Marketing ("S&M") expenses increased by $41,925 or 35.98% to $158,446
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. S&M
expenses decreased by $100,965 or 24.68% to $308,082 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. The decrease in S&M expenses
was due primarily to a decrease in salaries and consulting fees.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased by $37,407 or 44.76% to
$46,167 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the prior period.
G&A expenses decreased by $47,186 or 37.69% to $78,008 for the six months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. The decrease in G&A
expenses was due primarily to a decrease in professional fees.
Research
and Development
Research
and Development ("R&D") costs increased by $43,692 or 970.93% to $48,192 for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. R&D
costs increased by $84,951 or 1544.56% to $90,451 for the six months ended
June
30, 2008, compared to the prior period. The increase in R&D was the result
of testing of product alternatives, and consulting fees.
Net
Loss
Net
Loss
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $251,250 compared to $206,323
for
the prior period. Net Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $470,638
compared to $543,870 for the prior period. Currently the Company is in its
development stage and had no revenues.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
June 30, 2008, we had $477,568 of working capital as compared to $942,782 as
of
December 31, 2007. This decrease of $465,214 was due primarily to the use of
funds for operating expenses.
11
Net
cash
flow used in operating activities was $400,689 for six months ended June 30,
2008, as compared to net cash used of $480,697 for the prior period. This
decrease of $80,008 was primarily attributable to an decrease in
salaries.
Net
cash
provided by investing activities was $485,674 for the six months ended June
30,
2008, as compared to net cash provided of $0 for the prior period. The increase
of net cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to withdrawals
from certificates of deposits for operating expenses.
Net
cash
provided from financing activities was $0 the six months ended June 30, 2008,
as
compared to net cash provided of $637,500 for the prior period. From inception
to June 30, 2008, we received a total of $2,228,875 from the sale of shares
of
our common stock through private placements of shares of common stock pursuant
to Subscription Agreements, which we entered into with accredited and/or
institutional buyers.
Our
plan
of operation within the next twelve months is to utilize our cash balances
to
continue research and development of our carbon transformation technology and
complete a demonstrable prototype. We believe that our current cash and
investment balances will be sufficient to support development activity and
general and administrative expenses for the next twelve months. Management
estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2008, based
upon
its current operating plan and condition. We will be investigating additional
financing alternatives, including equity and/or debt financing. There is no
assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if available,
on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are unable to obtain
sufficient funds during the next twelve months, we may be forced to reduce
the
size of our organization, which could have a material adverse impact on, or
cause us to curtail and/or cease, the development of our products.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have
a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results
of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
n/a
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under
the
supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule
13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation,
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under
the
Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to
allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's
rules and forms. There was no change to our internal controls or in other
factors that could affect these controls during our last fiscal quarter that
has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
