Item 2. Management 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, 2014, COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013
We did not generate any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
We had total operating expenses of $165,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to total operating expenses of $289,293 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $123,317 from the prior period. The decrease in expenses was largely due to a decrease in general and administrative to $66,562 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $160,013 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $93,451 from the prior period, and a decrease in laboratory expenses to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $17,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an decrease of $17,736 from the prior period.
We had a net loss of $165,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to a net loss of $289,293 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $123,317 from the prior period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had total assets as of March 31, 2014 of $51,055, which included cash of $125, accounts receivable related party of $34,582, net property and equipment of $9,348, and total other assets of $7,000.
We had total liabilities of $5,499,543 as of March 31, 2014, which included $1,214,127 of accounts payable, $2,357,572 of accrued expenses, $10,800 of notes payable, $915,162 of convertible notes payable, $645,471 of loan from shareholder and $356,611 to related party.
We had negative working capital of $5,464,836 and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $23,569,255.
We had negative net cash used in operating activities of $43,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
It is estimated that we will require outside capital for the remainder of 2014 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. 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.
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 designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective due to additional 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.
