GeneThera, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated financial statements include GeneThera, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary GeneThera, Inc. (Colorado) and its 90% owned Mexico subsidiary, Applied Genetics S.A. de C.V. (“Applied Genetics”), (collectively “GeneThera” or the “Company”). On January 3, 2012, the Company obtained, at no additional cost to the Company, 40% of the shares of Applied Genetics in addition to 50% of the shares already owned by the Company.
GeneThera is a biotechnology company that develops molecular assays for the detection of food contaminating pathogens, veterinary diseases and genetically modified organisms.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of GeneThera 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 Company’s latest Annual Report 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 periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interests are recorded for the entities that are consolidated but are not wholly owned by the Company. Non-controlling interest recorded in these Consolidated Financial Statements is comprised of 10% of the shares of Applied Genetics, the Company's subsidiary in Mexico, of which at March 31, 2013, the Company owns 90%.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, GeneThera had an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of March 31, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to GeneThera’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan with regard to these matters includes raising working capital and significant assets and resources to assure GeneThera’s viability, through private or public equity offerings, 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.

The Company owes Setna Holdings, a related party $178,461 and $173,573 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The total is non-interest bearing and due on demand.
NOTE 5 – SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY

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". 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, and 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
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013, COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED March 31, 2013
We did not generate any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
We had total operating expenses of $278,612 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to total operating expenses of $515,117 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an decrease of $236,505 from the prior period. The decrease in expenses was largely due to an decrease in general and administrative to $160,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $206,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $46,807 from the prior period, and an decrease in laboratory expenses to $17,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $34,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an decrease of $17,127 from the prior period.
We had a net loss of $286,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to a net loss of $514,321 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $228,015 from the prior period.
7
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had total assets as of March 31, 2013 of $51,223, which included cash of $1,121, accounts receivable related party of $0, net property and equipment of $43,102, and total other assets of $7,000.
We had total liabilities of $4,805,078 as of March 31, 2013, which included $1,114,258 of accounts payable, $1,973,572 of accrued expenses, $10,800 of notes payable, $882,716 of convertible notes payable, $645,471 of loan from shareholder and $178,461 to related party.
We had negative working capital of $4,803,957 and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $22,632,724.
We had net cash used in operating activities of $1,456 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which mainly included $289,293 of net loss largely offset by a decrease of $175,280 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
It is estimated that we will require outside capital for the remainder of 2013 for the commercialization of GeneThera molecular assays as well as the development of our 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, and 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.
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders.
Applied Genetics marketing agreement with Nutrición Avanzada
On February 1, 2012, Applied Genetics, a 90% owned subsidiary of GeneThera, Inc., entered into a sales and marketing agreement with Nutrición Avanzada. According to the terms of the agreement, GeneThera, Inc., through its subsidiary Applied Genetics, granted Nutrición Avanzada the exclusive right to purchase, market, and distribute the GeneThera Field Collection System product in Mexico. Applied Genetics will pay Nutrición Avanzada a 30% commission of the total price of each product. The initial term of the agreement is for a period of one year. After a year, the agreement will not be renewed.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective due to limited segregation of duties to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
