NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2010
UNAUDITED
Note 1- Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys most recent Annual Financial Statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Note 2- Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, GeneThera had an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to GeneThera ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plan with regard to these matters includes raising working capital and significant assets and resources to assure GeneThera viability, through private or public equity offering, and/or debt financing, and/or through the acquisition of new business or private ventures. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if GeneThera is unable to continue as a going concern.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operation
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere herein.
FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Sections of this Form 10-Q, including the Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. You should not unduly rely on these statements. Forward-looking statements involve assumptions and describe our plans, strategies, and expectations. You
can generally identify a forward-looking statement by words such as may, will, should, would, could, plan, goal, potential, expect, anticipate, estimate, believe, intend, project, and similar words and variations thereof. This report contains forward-looking statements that address, among other things,
* Our financing plans,
* Regulatory environments in which we operate or plan to operate, and
* Trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations, the impact of competition, the start-up of certain operations and acquisition opportunities.
Factors, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements ("Cautionary Statements") include, among others,
* Our ability to raise capital,
* Our ability to execute our business strategy in a very competitive environment,
* Our degree of financial leverage, risks associated with our acquiring and integrating companies into our own,
* Risks relating to rapidly developing technology, regulatory considerations;
* Risks related to international economies,
* Risks related to market acceptance and demand for our products and services,
* The impact of competitive services and pricing, and
* Other risks referenced from time to time in our SEC filings.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or anyone acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. We do not undertake any obligations to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect unanticipated events that may occur.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
No revenues were generated during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 or in the prior comparative quarter. General and administrative expenses (including consulting and professional fees) comparing the nine month period ending September 30, 2009, to the nine month period ending September 30, 2010, decrease from $731,314 to $91,048 with the decrease attributable to stock issued for consulting and professional services received throughout the quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a cash balance of $16 as of September 30, 2010. Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2010 was $0. It is estimated that it will require outside capital for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 for the commercialization of GeneThera molecular assays as well as the development of their therapeutic vaccines. The Company intends to raise these funds by means of one or more private offerings of debt or equity securities or both and also generating revenue from Mexico. Currently the company is in discussions with one group to obtain financing through either debt and/or equity. No definitive agreements have been signed. There are no
guarantees whether the Company will be able to secure such a financing, and if the financing is secured, there are no guarantees whether the Company can achieve the goals laid out in its business plan fully. We will require significant additional funding in order to achieve our business plan.
Our longer-term working capital and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including revenue and profit generation, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, the timing and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, competing technological and market developments, collaborative arrangements. Additional capital will be required in order to attain such goals. Such additional funds may not become available on acceptable terms and we cannot give any assurance that any additional funding that we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term.
Item 3. GeneThera Plan of Operation
Background
In November 2007, GeneThera, Inc. reincorporated in the State of Nevada due to a third party which purchased the GeneThera Florida Charter in order to blackmail our Company for $80,000. We had a special meeting with three shareholders where it was unanimously resolved for GeneThera to transfer its Charter to the State of Nevada as soon as possible in order to recognize our new incorporation on our next SEC filing. The reinstatement was completed by January 2008. GeneThera has developed proprietary diagnostic assays for use in the agricultural and veterinary markets. Specific assays for Chronic Wasting Disease (among elk and deer) and Mad Cow Disease (among cattle) have been developed and are available currently on a limited basis. E. coli (predominantly cattle) and Johne's disease (predominantly dairy cattle and bison) diagnostics are in development. GeneThera is making a pivotal shift from a Research and Development organization into a product marketing and revenue generating entity. The company strategy that we maintained from inception to our recent reverse split (July, 2008) had been one of research only. We focused all our energies, talent, and resources to the incubation and growth of new ideas in the realm of genetically engineered disease detection and vaccination. We feel that with recent announcements the company is positioned to move from a developmental stage to a product oriented stage.
GeneThera provides genetics-based diagnostic and is currently working on vaccine solutions to meet the growing demands of today's veterinary industry and tomorrow's agriculture and healthcare industries. The company is organized and operated both to continually apply its scientific research to more effective management of diseases and, in so doing, realize the commercial potential of molecular biotechnology.
The Company believes it will require significant additional funding in order to achieve its business plan. Over the next 12 months, in order to have the capability of achieving its business plan, the Company will require at least $5,000,000. There are no guarantees whether the Company will be able to secure such a financing, and if the financing is secured, there are no guarantees whether the Company can achieve the goals laid out in its business plan fully.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We anticipate that research and development (R&D) will be the source for both assay development and vaccine design/development. If we are able to develop assays for different diseases, we intend to formalize the procedure into a commercial application through a series of laboratories to be owned and operated by GeneThera. To date, we have introduced our diagnostic solution for Chronic Wasting Disease and Mad Cow Disease on a very limited basis. We anticipate that R&D will be ongoing during the life of the Company, as this is the source for new products to be introduced to the market. Our plan is to seek new innovations in the biotechnology field. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing or validating any new assays or, if we are successful in developing and validating any such assays, that we can successfully commercialize them or earn profits from sales of those assays. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to design, develop, or successfully commercialize any vaccines as a result of our research and development efforts.
COMMERCIAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
In the event that we are able to develop assays for the detection of diseases in animals, we intend to establish a series of diagnostic testing laboratories geographically proximate to the primary sources of individual diseases and/or according to specific available operating efficiencies. The specific number of labs to be built and operated will be based on assay demand (demand facilitated by the number of specific disease assays GeneThera develops), our ability to obtain the capital to build the labs, and our ability to successfully manage them from our principal office. As of the date of this filing, we are in negotiation to establish one diagnostic testing laboratory outside of our Colorado facility.
LICENSING
Through our third division, Licensing, we intend to manage the marketing and sale of the vaccines developed by GeneThera Research & Development division. As GeneThera does not intend to be a vaccine manufacturer, we plan to use our Licensing division to license the technology related to any vaccines that may be developed and to manage the revenue potential available from the successful development and validation of specific vaccines. We cannot provide any assurance that we will develop any vaccines or that, if they are developed, we will be able to license them successfully or that any such license will produce significant revenues.
R&D SERVICES
Molecular, Cellular, Viral Biology Research and Consulting Services. We provide independent research services to scientists in academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and the biotechnology industry. Primarily, GeneThera expertise focuses on technology relevant to animal and human immunotherapy. These services are backed by the cumulative experiences of greater than 50 years of research and development in both government and industry by GeneThera senior scientists. GeneThera intends to develop a commercial-scale implementation of Adenovector Purification Process to support R&D material production. Furthermore,
GeneThera intends to evaluate and test commercially available expression vectors and incorporate them into its vector repertoire. These technologies are well established within the repertoire of GeneThera scientific staff. We cannot provide any assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully offer these services or that, if offered, we can provide them profitably.

Custom Bio-safety Testing Programs for Somatic Cell, Ex Vivo Cell, and Tissue Therapies. GeneThera can guide our clients through the unique process of designing and implementing a bio-safety testing program that meets the needs of each specific project.
GeneThera is currently seeking contracts for these services and is in the final negotiation stage with a publicly traded company to perform these services on an annual basis. There is no assurance that any contracts will be signed or that the company will generate significant revenues or profits from any such contracts.
BUSINESS MODEL
Summary. GeneThera animal disease assay development business is based on its Integrated Technology Platform (ITP) that combines a proprietary diagnostic solution called Gene Expression Assay (GES) with PURIVAXTM, its system for analyzing large-scale DNA sequencing. The first part of this platform is the ongoing development of molecular diagnostic assays solutions using real time Fluorogenic Polymerase Chain Reaction (F-PCR) technology to detect the presence of infectious disease from the blood of live animals. The second part of the ITP is the development of therapeutic vaccines using RNA interference technology. It also allows for the efficient, effective, and continuous testing, management and treatment of animal populations. These facts distinguish the technology from any alternative testing and management methodology available to agriculture today -- all of which require the destruction of individual animals and even entire herds. Our testing and data analysis processes also allow us not only to separate infected from clean animals, but also to gain knowledge vital to development of preventative vaccines.
Each individual assay utilizes the proprietary Field Collection System (FCS) for the collection and transportation of blood samples to GeneThera laboratory. The FCS allows GeneThera to maintain the integrity of each sample by the addition of specific reagents to test tubes contained in the system. GeneThera FCS is designed to be an easy-to-use method of gathering blood samples from harvested or domesticated animals. It ensures consistency of samples as well as increased assurance of each sample's integrity.
To date, GeneThera has successfully developed the ability to detect Chronic Wasting Disease, a disease affecting elk and deer in North America. The release of commercialized Field Collection Systems and laboratory diagnostic testing occurred in October of 2003 as a marketing trial. GeneThera has also successfully developed an assay for the detection of Mad Cow Disease, a disease recently found in the United States, but which has been in Europe for many years. The Field Collection Systems are available for purchase from the Company. Chronic Wasting Disease and Mad Cow Disease are both in the family of diseases called Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE). Diagnostic assays for E.coli O157:H7 and Johne's disease are in the final stages of development.
The Company, through GeneThera, is also developing vaccines for Chronic Wasting Disease and E.coli O157:H7. The Company will need the approval of the USDA before the vaccines can be manufactured or sold. The approval process for animal vaccines is time-consuming and expensive. We anticipate that such approval, if it is obtained, may require more than $5 million and may require more than two years for each vaccine for which approval is sought. Currently we do not have the capital necessary to seek approval of any of our candidate vaccines, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise the capital necessary for such approval on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, even if we are successful in raising the capital necessary to seek approval of any vaccine, there are no assurances that such an approval will be granted, or if granted, whether we will be able to produce and sell such vaccines following such an approval in commercial quantities or to make a profit from such production and sales.
Our recent developments include the progress we are making in regards to our Johne's disease validation trials scheduled to begin in collaboration with the Universidad National Autonoma de Mexico, a prominent state university in Mexico City. Our joint venture with Nutricion Avanzada, (the joint venture created a new company Applied Genetics. Applied Genetics is the marketing arm of GeneThera for the Mexican marketing of our Johne's disease testing service and subsequent Vaccine, (which is currently under development) has been in contact with several major ranchers throughout Mexico, and the overwhelming response from the ranchers has been an outcry for help in detecting and eliminating Johne's disease which is running rampant in their herds. Government approval and recommendation is expected to occur quickly once the validation trials are complete. The validation trials should be complete within 3-4 months from start. We will be conducting paid testing on a limited basis during the validation trials.
The recent signing of our agreement with STC.UNM (the technology development arm of The University of New Mexico) for the genetic vaccine they have developed and patented for E.coli 0157:h7 has thrust GeneThera into the global spotlight. The vaccine acts on a genetic level to inhibit the growth and shedding of the deadly E.coli 0157:h7 bacteria from cattle. The vaccine has already passed initial animal trials and is now set to enter the clinical trial phase. We are currently seeking partnerships for the completion of the clinical trials and subsequent taking of the finished vaccine to market. Due to the specific genetic makeup of the vaccine, we expect the clinical trials to be completed within 9-12 months from start. This is 3 to 5 times faster than a standard vaccine might take.
Since February 17, 2009, GeneThera no longer has a business relationship with The Goldsmith Group LLC due to manipulation of our market initiated by this independent contractor together with Steven Lockhart from Lockhart Capital Group. These two entities have continued to write negative connotations and comments against the Company through Investors Hub and other blogs in order to continue misrepresenting the Company. They were not involved in any product development for our Biotech Company.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (The Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Consulting Chief Financial Officer, and Controller. We concluded that our internal controls are ineffective. We will be working on them to improve its effectiveness.
There will be significant changes in our internal controls and in other factors that will definitely affect internal controls positively subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On October 11, 2006, MAG Capital, a California Limited Liability Company (Mercator Momentum III, LP; Mercator Momentum Fund LP; Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd; a British Virgin Islands Corporation), filed litigation against GeneThera, Inc., GTI Corporate Transfer Agents, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, Antonio Milici, an individual, Tannya L. Irizarry, and Laura Bryan, individuals in the Superior Court State Complaint for breach of written contract. The Company retained legal counsel from Mark A. Shoemaker. In January 2008, MAG Capital dismissed the claims except the anticipatory breach of contract for which the Companys legal counsel filed an appeal dated February 19, 2008. The Company lost the appeal. MAG Capital sold the debt to a London Company. MAG Capital was investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission causing the hedge fund to close permanently.
On or about May 11, 2009, Goldsmith Group, LLC filed a Complaint of Breach of Contract against GeneThera, Inc. for traveling done by Alvin Goldsmith from Goldsmith Group for trips not authorized by the Company. The Company was seeking to retain legal counsel due to the complexity of it since Goldsmith combined personal issues and another company in the Complaint. Goldsmith also filed a claim of Unduly Enrichment against GeneThera. The Company was not unduly enriched by anything Goldsmith claimed he did. There was no breach of contract as Alvin Goldsmith from Goldsmith Group LLC did job abandonment on February 18, 2009. Messner & Reeves Law Firm was retained as our legal counsel. The judgment by default was vacated.
