PART I
Item 1. Business.
BACKGROUND
AquaLiv Technologies, Inc., (“ALTI”) was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 11, 2006 originally under the name of Infrared Systems International “ISI” as a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Sxan Biotech, Inc. (“CSBI”) (then known as Advance Technologies, Inc.) to pursue a narrowly defined business objective called infrared security systems.
On July 11, 2007, CSBI acquired American SXAN Biotech, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“American SXAN”) doing business exclusively in the People's Republic of China under a registered capital corporation, Tieli XiaoXingAnling Forest Frog Breeding Co, Ltd. Tieli XiaoXingSnling engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing wines and tonics derived from domesticated forest frogs. As a result of the acquisition, the stockholders of American SXAN Biotech, Inc. acquired control of CSBI.
Pursuant to one of the terms of the acquisition, all of the assets and liabilities of CSBI as of the date of the acquisition were transferred into ISI. From that time and until June 22, 2011, ISI had conducted not only the infrared security systems development for which it was formed but also the other prior activities of CSBI.
Due to American SXAN’s disinterest in continuing the infrared visions business of CSBI, the parties agreed that the business and assets of CSBI would be transferred to CSBI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ISI, and that the common stock of CSBI would be distributed to the persons who were shareholders of CSBI prior to the July 2007 merger, and any subsequent purchasers of their shares. The shares of ISI owned by CSBI were subsequently distributed to shareholders upon the effectiveness of Form S-1 registration statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notice of Effectiveness was issued on July 11, 2008 and filed on July 14, 2008.
In March 2010, ISI transferred all of the assets and liabilities of ISI into a newly created wholly-owned subsidiary, Infrared Applications, Inc. (“IAI”). IAI continued to operate the previous business of ISI under this newly created company until June 22, 2011, when, in accordance with a Management and Distribution Agreement dated March 24, 2010, all of the outstanding stock of IAI was transferred to Gary Ball, the former CEO. Subsequent to this event, Ball shall be responsible to make, if any, a Subsidiary Stock Distribution to the Company’s shareholders of record as of March 23, 2010.
On April 12, 2010, the Company sold a majority interest in its common stock to Take Flight Equities, Inc. (“TFE”). As part of the agreement, a change in control took place and William Wright was appointed CEO of the company. Also included in the agreement were provisions for the future distribution of the IAI assets to the ISI shareholders of record on March 23, 2010 within 15 months of the agreement (which was completed on June 22, 2011).
On April 19, 2010, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of Focus Systems, Inc. (“Focus”) from ProPalms, Inc. Focus is held and operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Focus was formed in August of 2007 as a technology company providing remote desktop - cloud computing - services and Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) phone services to small and mid-sized businesses. For the calendar year 2008, Focus operated a regional Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) business under a management agreement with a third party.
(4) |
On December 16, 2010 the Company purchased a 50% interest in AquaLiv, Inc. We have concluded, pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC 810-10-25-38 (previously FIN 46R) that AquaLiv, Inc. is a Variable Interest Entity, that we are the primary beneficiary with a controlling financial interest in AquaLiv, Inc. and we are required to consolidate its financials accordingly. The remaining 50% non-controlling interest is owned by Craig Hoffman, AquaLiv, Inc.’s President and CEO. AquaLiv, Inc. is a life sciences research and development company creating novel products for numerous industries. The company's technology alters the behavior of organisms, including plants and humans, without chemical interaction. From increased crop yields to drug-free medicine, AquaLiv, Inc. is providing innovative, ingredient-free solutions to the world's largest problems.
On June 22, 2011, in accordance with Management and Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”) dated March 24, 2010, we completed the distribution of substantially all of the assets of IAI. All of the outstanding stock of IAI has been transferred to Gary Ball (“Ball”) in accordance with the Agreement. Subsequent to this event, Ball shall be responsible to make, if any, a Subsidiary Stock Distribution to the Company’s shareholders of record as of March 23, 2010, upon the earlier of the foregoing occurrence: (i) the net proceeds from the sale of substantially all of the assets of IAI or (ii) Ball elects to make a Subsidiary Stock Distribution. Any cost incurred in connection with a Subsidiary Stock Distribution shall be the responsibility of Ball. There is no certainty as to when or if a Subsidiary Stock Distribution will occur.
On September 6, 2011, the Company filed its Articles of Amendment with the State of Nevada to effect a name change to AquaLiv Technologies, Inc. and to increase its authorized common shares to 1,000,000,000. FINRA declared the corporate action effective on September 19, 2011. The name change was effected to more closely align the name with the future direction of the Company.

AQUALIV, INC.
AquaLiv, Inc.’s scientists discovered that most substances and compounds have a unique information signature that influences biological processes via a magnetic cellular mechanism (non-chemical). The company’s technology records this biologically significant magnetic information (bioinformation) from a compound or substance and allows for the manipulation, combining, and subsequent transmittal to an organism. Bioinformation from a variety of sources are combined and/or altered to produce a bioinformation composite designed to influence specific biological processes. The composite can be transmitted to an organism via a variety of methods, including mineralized water, electromagnetic wave, or magnetic field.
The technology, while still at an early stage of development, already has direct applications in the industries of water purification, environmental science, agriculture, animal husbandry, personal use products, and medicine. Revenues generated from AquaLiv, Inc. products for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 were $449,626.
(5) |
AquaLiv Water System
The AquaLiv Water System is a water purification and enhancement apparatus available since 2008 that produces a high-quality drinking water. A variety of technologies are utilized in the system to remove impurities from the water, add minerals to the water, alter the molecule to molecule bonding structure of the water molecules, reduce the surface tension, improve the Oxidation Reduction Potential, and increase the pH, dissolved oxygen, and dissolved hydrogen content in the water. Additionally, the water’s bioinformation is altered to resemble spring water before processing and treatment. Users of the AquaLiv Water System have reported stabilized blood sugar, improvements in both high and low blood pressure, reduced allergy symptoms, less headaches, better digestion, and healthy glowing skin. Some diabetics have even reported that the AquaLiv Water System helped them decrease their insulin requirements. AquaLiv Water System testimonials are validated by a 3rd party. The AquaLiv Water System has approximately 400 users and produces 99% of the revenues.
Infotone Hydrating Mist
Infotone Hydrating Mist is a skincare product designed to clear blemishes, fade wrinkles, and even skin tone. The product has been available since 2010. Each mister contains a ceramic bead infused with AquaLiv Inc.'s bioinformation technology. The technology allows simple spring water to activate skin's natural healing ability resulting in clear, youthful, and glowing skin. Infotone Hydrating Mist is refillable for a full year making it an economical and sustainable skincare product. The mist is 100% natural and hypoallergenic and contains no parabens, additives, chemicals, GMOs, fragrances or artificial ingredients. The benefits of using the product are primarily derived through the elimination of a common skin parasite responsible for irritation (found on 50% of all adults), decreasing the production of melanin in cells that are overproducing, and increasing skin hydration. The Infortone Hydrating Mist has approximately 850 users and produces 1% of the revenues
AgSmart Rice
AgSmart Rice is a combined service and product offering that increases rice yields by 30-60% on average (data from actual commercial usage) while decreasing the duration before harvest by approximately one month. Treated rice crops are more resistant to pests, diseases, and wind/hail damage. AgSmart Rice is 100% natural and organic standards compliant and uses no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. AgSmart Rice benefits rice plants by encouraging greater root growth and photosynthesis ability. AgSMart Rice has been available since 2011 and is currently used by 2 farms at no charge for their aid in AgSmart Rice’s development. AgSmart Rice is not marketed due to a lack of financial resources and personnel. As of today, AgSmart Rice does not produce any revenue.
AgSmart Potato
AgSmart Potato is a combined service and product offering that has shown increases in potato yields by over 100% in market value (calculated using recent size/weight values coupled with average test results between treated and untreated test plots) under initial company testing. Treated potato crops have a consistent number of potatoes compared to untreated crops, however, the average size and weight are significantly increased while the normal counts of waste-sized potatoes are greatly reduced. Treated crops have also shown to be more resistant to pests and diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. AgSmart Potato is 100% natural and organic standards compliant and uses no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. AgSmart Potato benefits potato plants by encouraging greater root growth and photosynthesis ability while controlling bacterial and fungal activity. The Company plans on performing further third party commercial tests of the product prior to commercial distribution. The product is still under development and not yet available to the general public.
(6) |
NatuRx Medication Alternatives
Based on AquaLiv Inc.'s bioinformation technology, NatuRx formulations utilize bioinformation composites in lieu of active-molecules (drugs) for treatment. NatuRx formulations are still under development waiting the necessary funding to begin clinical trials and not yet available to the general public.
COMPETITION
The Company competes directly with other companies offering similar products and services.
AquaLiv Water System
The AquaLiv Water System competes with all consumer drinking water purification and enhancement systems priced between $350 and $4,000. Direct competition comes from so-called water ionizing machines. However, the AquaLiv Water System has many advantages over them including the ability to remove sodium fluoride and alkalize water naturally and without electricity. The AquaLiv Water System is further differentiated in the marketplace by an industry leading 90-Day Unconditional Money Back Guarantee and a 15-Year warranty against defects.
Infotone Hydrating Mist
Infotone Hydrating Mist competes against all cosmetic water misters often sold by popular bottled water brands. When the water is used up in competing products, consumers must purchase a new mister. However, integrated technology in the Infotone Hydrating Mist apparatus enhances ordinary water with skin enhancing effects while also allowing consumers to refill the mister with ordinary water. While the initial cost of Infotone Hydrating Mist is slightly higher than competing products, the ability to refill it greatly increases its value to consumers, making it a unique product in the marketplace.
AgSmart Rice
Because no other available yield enhancing agriculture product exploits the same natural phenomenon, AgSmart Rice can be used in conjunction with other technologies, e.g. hybridization, agrochemicals, and/or GMOs, while still delivering yield increases and other benefits. For this reason, other technologies currently available in rice agriculture do not compete directly with AgSmart Rice as most customers will combine many available technologies to realize even greater increases yields.
FOCUS SYSTEMS
Remote Desktop and Cloud Computing
Focus System’s Remote Desktop services provide authorized remote users the ability to connect to resources on an external network owned and managed by Focus Systems from any Internet-connected device. The remote user may access their account from their own device or one leased or purchased from Focus Systems. Once connected, the remote user has access to a number of software packages made available through Focus Systems as a Microsoft product reseller for a monthly fee. The remote user may also request that other software packages be installed to the user’s virtual server and maintained by Focus Systems. The Company believes that there are inherent benefits of operating in a completely portable desktop office environment. Access to central data and shared recourses can increase productivity and reduce cost for businesses. The remote environment is controlled, managed and updated by Focus Systems from a centralized location, further reducing operating costs for its customers. Revenues generated from remote desktop and other services for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 were $22,850 and included service to approximately 20 users.
(7) |
VOIP Phone Service
VoIP phone service is a method for taking analog audio signals (similar to the kind you hear when you talk on the phone) and turning them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet. This allows VoIP service to replace traditional landline service for business and residential customers. Since the VoIP phone service is digital, companies are able to run both data and voice over the same network infrastructure thereby greatly reducing costs. This reduction in cost is experienced in both the initial start-up phase, as well as the ongoing maintenance and services fees associated with phone service. Company management believes that the trend away from traditional phone service to digital VoIP services will continue to grow. Revenues generated from VoIP services for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 were $7,054.
COMPETITION
The remote desktop and cloud computing environment is still relatively in its infancy. While the advent of computers saw large uses of thin client applications, the PC age saw companies bringing servers and applications both in-house and distributed to the desktops. Today, as companies struggle with IT cost and look for ways to reduce overhead and speed up deliver of changing software, they are beginning to look again at outsourcing of their IT and utilize the expanding power of cloud computing. There are several large service providers servicing the commercial market, such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, VMware, and a number of others. They are betting big on this trend and will capture a large segment of the market related to large business. However, providers of the service to small business have yet to make a large mark in the market space. Buying decisions with small business remain more local, and with the consolidation of the ISP market over recent years, there are less IT businesses in these communities to roll out and support this type of initiative.
VoIP competition is a bit fiercer when it comes to the residential market. Companies such as Vonage and Magic Jack (heavy marketer in the residential market) have made great inroads into the homes of Americans and those abroad. However, when it comes to small businesses making decisions, they have been less eager (either due to familiarity or lack of knowledge) to move away from the traditional Telco provider and utilize VoIP. The trend towards a VoIP solution is inevitable as companies continue to consolidate their IT solutions and take advantage of cost savings initiatives, both for initial capital outlay as well as ongoing monthly cost. Focus is poised to take advantage of the technology decisions that these small business will make in the coming years, either as a provider of remote desktop solutions, VoIP, or both.
Dependence on One or Few Major Customers
The Company’s accounts receivable total was $1,856, or less than 2% of the Company’s total revenue for the current quarter and less than 1% of the total annual revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. Furthermore, no single customer represented more than 1% of the total annual revenue. Therefore, the Company no longer anticipates being dependent on any one or few major customers.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES, CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY AGREEMENTS OR LABOR CONTRACTS
AquaLiv® is a registered trademark belonging to AquaLiv, Inc. The trademark’s duration is perpetual while in use.
The Japanese patent personally owned by Dr. Ichimura, AquaLiv Inc.’s Chief Science Officer, covers some aspects of the AquaLiv, Inc.’s technology and was granted in 2008 for a term of 20 years. Dr. Ichimura, in his discretion, allows AcquaLiv, Inc. the exclusive use of such patent. The Company currently has no other patents or patent applications pending relating to AquaLiv, Inc. or Focus Systems, Inc.
(8) |
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
For the fiscal years ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries have spent approximately $1,213 and $9,936 on research and development costs, respectively.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had three (3) current employees and one (1) independent contractor between the Company and its subsidiaries, with William Wright being the sole independent contractor at AquaLiv Technologies, Inc. Additional work is performed by subcontractors.
EXPENSES
We estimate that we will require approximately $500,000, in addition to our gross revenues, over the next twelve months in order to maintain operations. While our operating expenses for each of our prior fiscal years have exceeded this amount, a portion of those expenses have been non-cash expenses.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, in considering our business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. The occurrence of any of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks Related to the Our Business and Industry
IF WE DO NOT GENERATE ADEQUATE REVENUES TO FINANCE OUR OPERATIONS, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL.
We were incorporated on April 11, 2006. As of September 30, 2012, we had a retained deficit of $3,063,113. During the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, we had net losses of $623,079 and $3,235,468. We expect our revenues during the next twelve months from our existing products and service customers to remain flat depending upon the US economic recovery and our ability to create market awareness with our AquaLiv brand. Our expected revenue generation and expenses are difficult to predict, and there can be no assurance that revenues will be sufficient to cover operating costs for the foreseeable future. It may be necessary to raise additional funds. If we are unable to raise funds to cover any operating deficit and our sales decrease in 2013, our business may fail.
BECAUSE WE HAD INCURRED A LOSS AND HAVE NOT FULLY COMMENCED OUR PLANNED PRINCIPAL OPERATIONS, OUR ACCOUNTANTS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, our accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of operating losses since inception, the failure to yet commence planned principal operations, and current liabilities in excess of current assets. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent on such factors as our ability to sell AquaLiv Water Systems and Infotone Face Mist, generate new sales for AquaLiv’s AgSmart and NatuRx product lines, and to capture and retain new remote desktop and VoIP customers. Based upon current plans, we expect our operating costs to range between $200,000 and $250,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business or take draconian actions.
ISSUANCES OF OUR STOCK COULD DILUTE CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, IF A PUBLIC TRADING MARKET DEVELOPS.
We have the authority to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock without stockholder approval. We are currently working on financing plans for future growth and acquisitions, product and service development, and we may need to raise additional capital to fund operations. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution. In addition, we could issue large blocks of our common stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval, or in connection with one or more acquisitions. No such transactions currently are planned.
The issuance of preferred stock by our board of directors could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock. An issuance of preferred stock could result in a class of outstanding securities that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over the common stock and could, upon conversion or otherwise, have all of the rights of our common stock. Our board of directors' authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve.
(9) |
OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION PROTECT OUR DIRECTORS FROM CERTAIN TYPES OF LAWSUITS, WHICH COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO RECOVER DAMAGES FROM THEM IN THE EVENT OF A LAWSUIT.
Our Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law. Nevada law permits the elimination of the personal liability of a director or officer for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, although such a provision must not eliminate the liability of a director or officer for (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (b) the payment of distributions in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.300. This exculpatory provision may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require our company to use our assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE LIFE SCIENCES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY MARKET OUT PRODUCTS.
Our business plan involves deployment of technology services, and developing, deploying, and licensing products. These businesses are highly competitive. There are numerous similar companies providing such services and products in the United States. Our competitors will have greater financial resources and more expertise in these businesses. Our ability to deploy our AgSmart and NatuRx products under AquaLiv, Inc., as well as our remote desktop and VoIP phone services under Focus Systems, Inc. will depend on our ability to successfully market our products in this highly competitive environment. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so successfully.
FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
While we have exclusive use of the patent personally owned by AquaLiv, Inc’s Chief Science Officer Dr. Ichimura, we cannot be assured that it will be sufficiently broad enough to protect our technology. In addition, we cannot assure that any patents issued to us in the future will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented. In order to safeguard our unpatented proprietary know-how, trade secrets, and technology, we rely primarily upon trade secret protection and nondisclosure provisions in agreements with employees and others having access to confidential information. We cannot assure that these measures will adequately protect us from improper disclosure or misappropriation of our proprietary information.
ENFORCING AND PROTECTING OUR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION CAN BE COSTLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
If we are not able to adequately protect or enforce our proprietary information or if we become subject to infringement claims by others, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. We may need to engage in future litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or the rights of our customers, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights of others, including our customers. We also may need to engage in litigation in the future to enforce any patent rights. In addition, we may receive in the future communications from third parties asserting that our products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. We cannot assure you that any such claims would not result in protracted and costly litigation. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will have the financial resources to vigorously defend or enforce our proprietary technology.

THE SHARE CONTROL POSITION OF GARY BALL MAY LIMIT THE ABILITY OF OTHER STOCKHOLDERS TO INFLUENCE CORPORATE ACTIONS.
In April 2010, pursuant to the agreement, the Company sold 11,557,217 (pre-split) shares of authorized and previously unissued shares of common stock, representing at that time 89.9% of the outstanding stock of the Company immediately after the transaction, to Take Flight Equities, Inc. for a purchase price of $200,000, consisting of $30,000 cash and a promissory note for $170,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the shares were placed in escrow at closing. As payments were made on the note, a portion of the shares were to be released from escrow. In the event that a promissory note payment was not made when due and not cured within the time provided in the escrow agreement, or if an event default occurs under the note, then the shares held in escrow along with promissory note will be transferred to Gary Ball, and Gary Ball will assume responsibility for the payment of the note. In July 2010, Take Flight Equities defaulted on its note obligations and the responsibility for the note payment along with voting rights to the stock remaining in escrow reverted to Gary Ball. As a result, Gary Ball retains voting control of the 88,572,170 common shares issued and held in escrow, thereby making Gary Ball the largest shareholder with control of approximately 16% of our outstanding shares. Because Gary Ball controls such a significant percentage of the outstanding shares, other stockholders, individually or as a group, will be at a disadvantage in their ability to effectively influence the election or removal of our directors, the supervision and management of the business or a change in control of or the sale of our company, even if he believed such changes were in the best interest of our stockholders generally.
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS, IN LARGE PART, ON THE CONTINUED SERVICE OF OUR PRESIDENT.
We depend almost entirely on the efforts and continued employment of Mr. William Wright, our President and Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Wright currently is our sole independent contractor of the parent company, and we will depend on him for nearly all aspects of our operations. We do not have an employment contract with Mr. Wright, and we do not carry key person insurance on his life. Mr. Wright currently is able to devote a substantial amount of his time on our behalf. The loss of the services of Mr. Wright, through incapacity or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our business. It would be very difficult to find and retain qualified personnel such as Mr. Wright.
THE COMPANY’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO WITH TCA GLOBAL CREDIT MASTER FUND, LP MAY RESULT IN THE FORECLOSURE OF THE COMPANY’S OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES’ PLEDGED ASSETS AND OTHER ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES.
On April 27 2012, the Company entered into that certain securities and purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (“TCA”). To secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries were required to enter into security agreements, pledge and escrow agreements and a guaranty agreement. Pursuant to a security agreement, the Company granted a continuing, first priority security interest in all of our assets to TCA (the “First Security Agreement”). In addition, our subsidiary, Focus Systems, Inc. (“Focus”), pursuant to a security agreement, granted a continuing, first priority security interest in all of Focus’s assets to TCA (“Second Security Agreement”). Further, pursuant to a pledge and escrow agreement, the Company pledged 11,516,104 of the Company’s common stock to TCA in escrow (the “First P&E Agreement”). Pursuant to a second pledge and escrow agreement, the Company pledged its entire interest in its subsidiary, AquaLiv, Inc., to TCA in escrow (the “Second P&E Agreement”). Lastly, pursuant to a guaranty agreement, Focus has guaranteed and is to act as surety to TCA for the payment of the Company’s liabilities when they become due (the “Guaranty”, together with the Purchase Agreement, First Security Agreement, Second Security Agreement, First P&E Agreement and Second P&E Agreement, collectively, the “TCA Agreements”). The Company’s failure to comply with the obligations in the TCA Agreements or the occurrence of certain other specified events could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all or a substantial portion of our debt, potential foreclosure on our assets and other adverse consequences.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT LISTED ON THE OTCBB WHICH COULD LIMIT THE ABILITY OF BROKER-DEALERS TO SELL OUR SECURITIES AND THE ABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SECURITIES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.
At this time, we are not listed on the OTCBB. We plan to begin the relisting process for the OTCBB in the next fiscal year. Currently, we are solely listed on the OTC Markets OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get re-listed on the OTCBB, which may have an adverse material effect on our company.
BECAUSE THE PUBLIC MARKET FOR SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS LIMITED, INVESTORS MAY BE UNABLE TO RESELL THEIR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
Currently, there is only a limited public market for our common stock on the OTCQB in the United States. Thus, investors may be unable to resell their shares of our common stock. The development of an active public trading market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers who are able to sell their shares as well as market makers willing to create a market in such shares. Under these circumstances, the market bid and ask prices for the shares may be significantly influenced by the decisions of the market makers to buy or sell the shares for their own account. Such decisions of the market makers may be critical for the establishment and maintenance of a liquid public market in our common stock. Market makers are not required to maintain a continuous two-sided market and are free to withdraw firm quotations at any time. We cannot give you any assurance that an active public trading market for the shares will develop or be sustained.
THE APPLICATION OF THE “PENNY STOCK” RULES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON SHARES AND INCREASE YOUR TRANSACTION COSTS TO SELL THOSE SHARES.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
- that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
- the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
- obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
- make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
- sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
- that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

AS AN ISSUER OF “PENNY STOCK,” THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS DOES NOT APPLY TO US.
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, the Company will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by the Company contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of the Company’s failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
COMPLIANCE AND CONTINUED MONITORING IN CONNECTION WITH CHANGING REGULATION OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure may create uncertainty regarding compliance matters. New or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases. As a result, their application in practice may evolve over time. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. Complying with evolving interpretations of new or changed legal requirements may cause us to incur higher costs as we revise current practices, policies and procedures, and may divert management time and attention from the achievement of revenue generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to uncertainties related to practice, our reputation might be harmed which would could have a significant impact on our stock price and our business. In addition, the ongoing maintenance of these procedures to be in compliance with these laws, regulations and standards could result in significant increase in costs.
THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON SHARES IS PARTICULARLY VOLATILE GIVEN OUR STATUS AS A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN COMPANY WITH A SMALL AND THINLY TRADED PUBLIC FLOAT, LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND LACK OF PROFITS WHICH COULD LEAD TO WIDE FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR SHARE PRICE. YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL YOUR COMMON SHARES AT OR ABOVE YOUR PURCHASE PRICE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO YOU.
The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have large public floats, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this limited liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that trades on a national securities exchange and has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
(13) |
WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
AS A PUBLIC COMPANY, WE ARE SUBJECT TO COMPLEX LEGAL AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL REQUIRE US TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES AND WILL EXPOSE US TO RISK OF NON-COMPLIANCE.
As a public company, we are subject to numerous legal and accounting requirements that do not apply to private companies. The cost of compliance with many of these requirements is material, not only in absolute terms but, more importantly, in relation to the overall scope of the operations of a small company. Our relative inexperience with these requirements may increase the cost of compliance and may also increase the risk that we will fail to comply.
Failure to comply with these requirements can have numerous adverse consequences including, but not limited to, our inability to file required periodic reports on a timely basis, loss of market confidence and/or governmental or private actions against us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all of these requirements or that the cost of such compliance will not prove to be a substantial competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis our privately held and larger public competitors.
WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO SHAREHOLDER LITIGATION, THEREBY DIVERTING OUR RESOURCES THAT MAY HAVE A MATERIAL EFFECT ON OUR PROFITABILITY AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
As discussed in the preceding risk factors, the market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may become the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation will result in substantial costs and liabilities and will divert management’s attention and resources.
COMPLIANCE WITH CHANGING REGULATION OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES AND POSE CHALLENGES FOR OUR MANAGEMENT.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT RELATE TO FUTURE EVENTS OR OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. THESE STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE RISKS AND OTHER FACTORS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, THOSE LISTED UNDER “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” AND “RISK FACTORS”AND THOSE INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
Overview
The Company is the parent of AquaLiv, Inc. and Focus Systems, Inc. (“Focus Systems”). AquaLiv, Inc.’s technology alters the behavior of organisms, including plants and humans, without chemical interaction. From increased crop yields to drug-free medicine, AquaLiv, Inc. is providing innovative, ingredient-free solutions to the world's largest problems. The company’s platform technology influences biological processes naturally and without chemical interaction. To date, AquaLiv, Inc. has released products in the industries of water treatment, skincare, and agriculture. The company is primarily known for the AquaLiv Water System product which also produces the majority of the company’s revenue. Focus Systems is a technology company providing customers with remote desktop services and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone services. Focus Systems maintains servers that house data and applications that its customers can access remotely without the need for the customers to maintain a server. The company’s VoIP service utilizes the internet for phone service rather than through a traditional telecommunications company.
The Company continues to struggle with liquidity and capital resources sufficient to be able to fully execute on its business plan. Previously we have issued press releases regarding the potential for a $50 million capital infusion. While the Company has continued to work with the funding group towards this goal, we have yet to receive any funds from this effort. Subsequently, our ability to execute on planned initiatives, such as the acquisition of certain Japanese operations owned by our Chief Science Officer, have been suspended until such time that adequate capital resources are obtained and business initiatives can be reevaluated. Additionally, the lack of funding has hampered our ability to properly market our existing products and services. Our AquaLiv, Inc. retail product lines, AquaLiv Water System and Infotone Hydrating Mist, each suffer from our inability to market the products to greater numbers of people, and such the sales of each have remained relatively stagnate over the course of the past year. Our Focus Systems services, Remote Desktop and VoIP phones service, have also been impacted by our inability to hire sales personnel and properly market these service lines, which has resulted in declining numbers of customers for each service line. Without an increase in liquidity and capital resources, these trends may continue, which could greatly impact the ability for these subsidiaries to thrive.
(18) |
Plan of Operation
Recent advancements in AquaLiv, Inc.’s technology have created opportunities in the industries of water purification, environmental science, agriculture, animal husbandry, personal use products, and medicine. AquaLiv, Inc. is ready to expand its innovative product offering. Additionally, management is investigating possible acquisitions that would be accretive to the core business and enable the growth of its revenues both locally and abroad.
The technology industry, especially as it applies to the small business sector, has slowed drastically during the recession. New service orders for both remote desktop and VoIP products have been slow since acquisition. Management is working on increasing exposure for its remote desktop product and is working to expand its VoIP phone service from the small business market into the residential market as well. Management is investigating possible acquisitions that would be accretive to the core business and enable the growth of its revenues.
Results of Operations
For the Year Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Year Ended September 30, 2011
Revenues
Revenues were approximately $479,529 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, as compared to approximately $590,138 for the prior fiscal year. Revenue was comprised of sales revenue, service revenue, and royalty revenue (stopped receiving June 22, 2011). Sales revenue, the revenue generated by AquaLiv, Inc., for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $449,626 and $446,053, respectively. Sales revenue accounted for 93.8% of the revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and 76% of the revenue for the prior fiscal year. Service revenue is the revenue generated by Focus Systems and includes fees for remote desktop and VoIP services provided by Focus Systems. Service revenue amounted to $29,904 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, compared to $44,085 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Service revenue accounted for 6.2% of the total revenue, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, and 7% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Royalty revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $0 and $100,000, respectively. Royalty revenue accounted for 0% of the revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 (stopped receiving June 22, 2011) and 17% of the revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in total revenue was due to sales and service revenue remaining relatively flat for the current fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year, and the lack of royalty revenue during the current fiscal year. The decrease in revenues related to royalty revenue is a reflection of the distribution of the assets of Infrared Applications, Inc. (“Infrared”) on June 22, 2011, as which time the Company ceased recognizing royalty revenue.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was $123,173 as compared to $193,430 for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in cost of sales is a result of cost saving measures instituted and the outsourcing of certain services by our subsidiaries.
General and Administrative Expenses
Operating expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was $783,537 as compared to $1,020,310 for the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 22%. The decrease was due to the reduction of expenses following the distribution of the Infrared assets on June 22, 2011. Additionally, consulting fees decreased from $60,819 in 2011 to $35,810 in 2012, a decrease of 41%, and a result of the Company limiting its use of outside vendors to perform services for us. Research and development decreased from $9,936 in 2011 to $1,213 in 2012, an 88% decrease and a result of reduced research work on AquaLiv, Inc.’s technologies during the fiscal year. Travel, meals, and entertainment decreased from $20,333 in 2011, to $18,769 in 2012, an 8% decrease and a result of management’s need to travel to meetings throughout the fiscal year slightly less than the prior fiscal year. Other general and administrative decreased from $287,412 in 2011 to $254,384 in 2012, a decrease of 10%, and primarily attributed to a decrease in utilities, rent, and other items associated with the disposition of the Infrared assets on June 22, 2011. There was a onetime loss on goodwill impairment associated with the AquaLiv, Inc. acquisition during the 2011 fiscal year in the amount of $315,484, a result of the Company fully impairing the goodwill received in the acquisition. The reductions in operating expenses were offset by increases in other areas, including professional fees which increased from $88,683 in 2011 to $178,001 in 2012, an increase of 100%, attributed to the increase in legal and other fees. An increase in management fees from $105,900 in 2011 to $120,000 in 2012, an increase of 13%, and a result of fees paid to our acting President. Payroll expense increased from $127,455 in 2011 to $172,861 in 2012, and increase of 36% and attributed to the employees acquired in with the acquisition of AquaLiv, Inc.
Other Income and Expense
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the expense was $226,758 compared to income of $17,352 for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 1,306%. The increase in expense resulted primarily from a one time gain on distribution of assets of Infrared during the prior fiscal year and the authorization of debt expense associated with our derivative liabilities. Normal operations for the Company will result in a net other expense when accounting for interest expense.
Net (Loss) Before Provision for Income Taxes
The net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was $653,939 versus $606,250 for the prior fiscal year. The increase in the loss of $47,689 was due to a decrease in operating expenses of $196,421 and a decrease in cost of goods of $70,257. The decreases to expenses were primarily offset by a decrease in revenues of $110,609 and an increase in other expenses of $209,406.

Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, were $783,537 and $1,020,310, respectively. The net loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $653,939 and $606,250, respectively.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company did not have and continues to not have sufficient cash on hand to pay present obligations as they become due. In addition, due to current economic conditions and the Company’s related risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, if at all, to meet our current obligation over the next 12 months. Because of the foregoing, the Company’s auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock. If adequate funds are not available to us on satisfactory terms, we may be required to cease operating or otherwise modify our business strategy. Our estimated working capital requirement for the next 12 months is $500,000, with an estimated burn rate of $35,000 per month.
On April 27, 2012, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TCA”), pursuant to which TCA purchased from the Company a two hundred thousand dollar ($200,000) senior secured redeemable debenture (the “Debenture”). The maturity date of the Debenture is April 24, 2013, subject to adjustment (the “Maturity Date”). The Debenture bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.
As further consideration, the Company issued to TCA 5,555,556 shares of the Company’s common stock on May 1, 2012 totaling an aggregate amount of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) (the “Incentive Shares”). In the event the value of the Incentive Shares issued to TCA does not equal $25,000 after a nine month evaluation date, the Purchase Agreement provides for an adjustment provision allowing for necessary action (either the issuance of additional shares to TCA or the return of shares previously issued to TCA to the Company’s treasury) to adjust the number of Incentive Shares issued. The Incentive Shares are not being registered for resale in this registration statement.
First Pledge and Escrow Agreement
On April 27, 2012, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a pledge and escrow agreement (the “First P&E Agreement”), by and among the Company, TCA and David Kahan, P.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the First P&E Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and irrevocably pledge to TCA the lesser of (i) 4.99% of the Company’s common stock and (ii) 200% of the outstanding amount under the Debenture, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. On May 1, 2012, the Company issued 11,516,104 shares of common stock to TCA in escrow. Upon timely payment in full of all obligations under the transaction documents, TCA will notify the Escrow Agent in writing and the Escrow Agent shall return the pledged materials to the Company and all of TCA’s rights in and to the pledged materials and other collateral shall be terminated.
(20) |
Second Pledge and Escrow Agreement
On April 27, 2012, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a pledge and escrow agreement (the “Second P&E Agreement”), by and among the Company, TCA and the Escrow Agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Second P&E Agreement, the Company agreed to irrevocably pledge to TCA its entire ownership in Aqualiv, Inc., consisting of 50,000 shares of AquaLiv, Inc.’s common stock.
First Security Agreement
On April 27, 2012, the Company entered into a security agreement (the “First Security Agreement”) with TCA, related to the issuance of the Debenture, whereby the Company granted to TCA a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, wheresoever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.
Second Security Agreement
On April 27, 2012, Focus Systems, Inc., entered into a security agreement (the “Second Security Agreement”) with TCA, related to the issuance of the Debenture, whereby Focus Systems granted to TCA a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Focus Systems assets, wheresoever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.
Guaranty Agreement
On April 27, 2012, Focus Systems entered into a guaranty agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”) with TCA, in connection with the Company’s issuance of the Debenture. Pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty Agreement, Focus Systems has guaranteed and is to act as surety to TCA for the payment of the Liabilities (as defined below) when they become due. The “Liabilities” includes, collectively, (i) the repayment of all sums due under the Debenture and other transaction documents and (ii) the performance and observance of all terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the transaction documents.
Further, on April 27, 2012, the Company entered into an Equity Facility Agreement (the “Equity Agreement”) with Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC, a Massachusetts corporation (“Auctus”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, for a period of twenty-four (24) months commencing on the date of effectiveness of the a registration statement, Auctus has committed to purchase up to $3,500,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture issued by the Company in favor of TCA, the Company shall cause Auctus to pay directly to TCA, for each advance taken by the Company under the Equity Agreement, 50% of any net proceeds otherwise payable to the Company, up to $25,000 per month.
Management has determined that general expenditures must be reduced and additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. In addition, if we cannot raise additional short term capital we will be forced to continue to further accrue liabilities due to our limited cash reserves. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock. If adequate funds are not available to us when needed on satisfactory terms, we may be required to cease operating or otherwise modify our business strategy.

Going Concern
We have limited working capital and limited revenues from sales of products, services, or licensing. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, our operating expenses continued to be greater than our revenues. These factors have caused our accountants to express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern has caused the Board of Directors to continue to look for sources of investment capital, and investigate merger and acquisition opportunities. We will look to further diversify our holdings and sources of cash flow.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2012, the Company has no off balance sheet arrangements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Our financial statements are contained in pages F-1 through F-14 which appear at the end of this Annual Report.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures .
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a- 15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(22) |
(b) Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012, based on the criteria established in a report entitled “Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission” and the interpretive guidance issued by the Commission in Release No. 34-55929. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2012, and identified the following material weaknesses:
- The small size of our Company limits our ability to achieve the desired level of separation of internal controls and financial reporting. We do not have a separate PEO and PFO. Until such time as the Company is able to hire a Chief Financial Officer, we do not believe we meet the full requirement for separation; and
- We have not achieved the desired level of documentation of our internal controls and procedures. When the Company obtains sufficient funding, this documentation will be strengthened through utilizing a third party consulting firm to assist management with its internal control documentation and further help to limit the possibility of any lapse in controls occurring.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management intends to mitigate the risk of the material weaknesses going forward provided the Company has sufficient funding by utilizing external financial consulting services, in a more effective manner, prior to the review by our principal independent accounting firm to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.

Committees of the Board of Directors
Currently, we do not have any committees of the Board of Directors, and none are planned at this time. Our Board of Directors has determined that none of our directors is an audit committee financial expert.
Indemnification and Limitation on Liability of Directors
Our Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its stockholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of our officers, directors or affiliates.
Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred, except as noted, with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time, except that Mr. Bushnell was the President of a construction company that filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy during 2010; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
(25) |
Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a).
Based solely on our review of certain reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the reports required to be filed with respect to transactions in our common stock during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, were timely.
Code of Ethics
The Company does not have a written code of ethics applicable to its executive officers. The Board of Directors has not adopted a written code of ethics since the Company has only one officer who is also a director of the Company and due to the small size and limited funds of the Company.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
The following summary compensation table sets forth all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to the named executive officers paid by us during the periods ended September 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
As indicated in the Summary Compensation Table, the only compensation paid to an officer is the salary and management fee payable to William M. Wright. The total salary and management fee paid to Mr. Wright was $120,000 in fiscal year 2012.
Employment Agreements
We do not have a written employment agreement with any of the Company’s executive officers. Mr. Wright is an independent contractor of the Company.
Equity Incentive Plan
No stock options or similar instruments have been granted to any of our officers or directors.
Lack of Compensation Committee
We do not have a separate compensation committee due to the fact that there is currently only one employee of the Company and since no compensation currently is paid to directors of the Company. The entire Board of Directors participates in the consideration of executive officer and director compensation.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
As of September 30, 2012, William M. Wright, the sole paid independent contractor of the Company, also is a director of the Company, and participates in determining the amount of his compensation.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Related Party Transactions
During the year ended September 30, 2012, there were no related transactions required to be reported under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
Director Independence
The common stock of the Company is currently quoted on the OTCQB, an exchange which currently does not have director independence requirements. On an annual basis, each director and executive officer will be obligated to disclose any transactions with the Company in which a director or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, have a direct or indirect material interest in accordance with Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K. Following completion of these disclosures, the Board will make an annual determination as to the independence of each director using the current standards for “independence” that satisfy both the criteria for the Nasdaq and the American Stock Exchange.
As of September 30, 2012, the Board determined that the following director is independent under these standards:

Audit Committee
Our auditor has not provided any non-audit services in the past and does not anticipate providing any non-audit services to the Company. In the event non-audit services are contemplated in the future, our Board of Directors, which functions in the capacity of an audit committee, will consider whether the non-audit services provided by our auditors to us would be compatible with maintaining the independence of our auditors and whether the independence of our auditors would be compromised by the provision of such services. Our Board of Directors pre-approves all auditing services and would approve any permitted non-audit services contemplated in the future, including the fees and terms of those services, to be performed for us by our independent auditor prior to engagement.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
AquaLiv Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AquaLiv Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“The Company”) as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness for the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of AquaLiv Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, has a liquidity problem, and requires funds for its operational activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AQUALIV TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
AND ITS’ SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AquaLiv Technologies, Inc. (the “Company") is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 11, 2006, originally under the name of Infrared Systems International, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of China SXAN Biotech, Inc. (formerly Advance Technologies, Inc.) ("CSBI"). CSBI was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 16, 1969. In July 2007, CSBI transferred the needs a space before “as” assets, liabilities, and operations of its technology licensing business to the Company. Because CSBI's operations are considered to be the Company's predecessor business, the consolidated financial statements include CSBI's operations from the inception of the business. In December 2008, the Company completed its spin-off by dividend to stockholders of CSBI.
In March 2010, the Company transferred the assets, liabilities, and operations of its technology licensing business to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Infrared Applications, Inc (“IAI”). IAI was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on March 26, 2010. On April 14, 2010, the Company sold a majority interest in its common stock to Take Flight Equities, Inc. (“TFE”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington, and control of the Company was transferred to William Wright, its current CEO. Under the terms of the agreement, IAI continued to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary until June 22, 2011, when IAI was distributed to the Gary Ball, the companies former CEO, under a Management and Distribution Agreement dated March 24, 2010.
Also in April 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Focus Systems, Inc. (“Focus”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on August 8, 2007, from ProPalms, Inc. (“ProPalms”), for 3,000,000 shares of common stock, 250,000 shares of preferred stock, and the assumption of $283,639 in liabilities. Focus is operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition to this agreement, the Company agreed to issue ProPalms 500,000 preferred shares for an Investment Receivable of $250,000. Under the terms of the agreement, ProPalms was to make the investment over the course of 4 months or return the unvested stock within 1 year. Over the course of the 4 months, ProPalms invested $17,809. ProPalms returned the unvested portion of the stock (amounting to 464,382 preferred shares) and the Company has accounted for it on its Change in Stockholders’ Deficit. On May 14, 2010, the Company completed a 10:1 forward split of its common stock.
On December 16, 2010, the Company purchased a 50% interest in AquaLiv, Inc. from Craig Hoffman for $400,000 paid in the form of 400,000 shares of preferred stock valued at $1.00 per share. We have concluded, pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC 810-10-25-38 (previously FIN 46R) that AquaLiv, Inc. is a Variable Interest Entity, that we are the primary beneficiary with a controlling financial interest in AquaLiv, Inc. and we are required to consolidate its financials accordingly. The remaining 50% non-controlling interest is owned by Craig Hoffman, AquaLiv, Inc’s President and CEO. AquaLiv, Inc. is a life sciences research and development company creating novel products for numerous industries. The company's technology alters the behavior of organisms, including plants and humans, without chemical interaction. From increased crop yields to drug-free medicine, AquaLiv, Inc. is providing innovative, ingredient-free solutions to the world's largest problems.
On June 22, 2011, in accordance with Management and Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”), dated March 24, 2010, we completed the distribution of substantially all of the assets of IAI. All of the outstanding stock of IAI has been transferred to Gary Ball (“Ball”) in accordance with the Agreement. Subsequent to this event, Ball shall be responsible to make, if any, a Subsidiary Stock Distribution to the Company’s shareholders of record as of March 23, 2010, upon the earlier of the foregoing occurrence: (i) the net proceeds from the sale of substantially all of the assets of IAI or (ii) Ball elects to make a Subsidiary Stock Distribution. Any cost incurred in connection with a Subsidiary Distribution shall be the responsibility of Ball. There is no certainty as to when or if a Subsidiary Stock Distribution will occur.

On September 6, 2011, the Company filed its Articles of Amendment with the State of Nevada to effect a name change to AquaLiv Technologies, Inc. and to increase its authorized common shares to 1,000,000,000. FINRA declared the corporate action effective on September 19, 2011. The name change was effected to more closely align the name with the future direction of the company.
Nature of Operations - The Company’s subsidiary, AquaLiv, Inc., is a life sciences research and development company based in Seattle, Washington. The company’s technology taps into a previously undiscovered natural phenomenon that gives us significant competitive advantages in the industries of agriculture and medicine. This technology represents an entirely new way to affect the health and behavior of plants and animals, including human beings. . The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Focus, provides remote desktop and cloud computing solutions to small businesses. Additionally, Focus provides Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone solutions to small businesses and can deliver the service to households as well. The Company has not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and other relevant factors.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly-liquid debt investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable - The Company records accounts receivable at cost less allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates allowances for doubtful accounts based on the aged receivable balances and historical losses. Management has estimated that $0 is necessary for doubtful accounts after reviewing the accounts receivable at September 30, 2012.
Property and Equipment - The Company records property and equipment at cost and uses straight-line depreciation methods over three to ten years. Maintenance, repairs, and expenditures for renewals and betterments not determined to extend the useful lives or to materially increase the productivity of the assets are expensed as incurred. Other renewals and betterments are capitalized. Property and Equipment is that of our subsidiaries, AquaLiv, Inc. and Focus Systems, Inc., which we have been recorded at actual cost and estimated net book value, less depreciation, which was recorded under Other Expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition - The Company's revenue is derived through its subsidiaries. AquaLiv, Inc.’s revenue comes primarily from the sales of AquaLiv Water Systems and Infotone Hydrafting Mist. The products are sold though the subsidiary’s website portal, www.aqualiv.com. Revenue is derived from AquaLiv, Inc. from several smaller purchases ranging from $35 to $1,695. Revenue derived from Focus comes from several smaller accounts and is billed on a monthly basis. The monthly billing for these accounts range from $72 to $1,087. IAI’s revenue came from royalties derived through licensing its technology to a single customer. The licensing agreement allowed the customer exclusively to use the subsidiary’s technology in aircraft systems manufactured by the customer in exchange for a royalty fee for each system that includes the Company's technology sold by the customer for commercial sales. The royalty fee was payable quarterly and amounts to $800 per aircraft system. As of June 22, 2011, royalty revenue has been discontinued along with the distribution of the IAI assets per the Management and Distribution Agreement.
Research and Development - The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
Income taxes - The Company adopts the ASC Topic 740, “ Income Taxes ” regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes the recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. In addition, the guidance requires the determination of whether the benefits of tax positions will be more likely than not sustained upon audit based upon the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are determined to be more likely than not sustained upon audit, a company recognizes the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not determined to be more likely than not sustained upon audit, a company does not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements. The guidance provides for de-recognition, classification, penalties and interest, accounting in interim periods and disclosure.
F-8 |
For the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
Comprehensive income - The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification 220 “Comprehensive Income” (formerly SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Components of comprehensive income include net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company has presented consolidated statements of income which includes other comprehensive income or loss.
Fair value of financial instruments - The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and other receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, deposits received in advance, taxes payable, deferred tax liabilities, and short term borrowings approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s short term borrowings approximate the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at September 30, 2011 and 2010.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2012 and 2011 , nor gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the year ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Commitments and contingencies - Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources, if applicable, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Off-balance sheet arrangements - The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or the consolidated results of its operations.

Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance regarding fair value measures and disclosures. The guidance requires disclosure of significant transfers between level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements along with the reason for the transfer. An entity must also separately report purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the level 3 fair value roll forward. The guidance further provides clarification of the level of disaggregation to be used within the fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and clarified the disclosures required for the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure level 2 or level 3 fair value measurements. This new authoritative guidance is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance changing the approach to determine a VIE’s primary beneficiary and requiring ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This guidance also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement with VIEs and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. This guidance was adopted January 1, 2010, and did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Basis of presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America under the accrual basis of accounting. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Inventories – The Company’s inventories (finished goods, work in process, raw materials and packaging materials) are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first in first out basis. In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and contract terms. The Company writes down the inventories for estimated obsolescence, slow moving or unmarketable inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Impairment of long-lived assets - The Company evaluated the recoverability of its property, plant, equipment, and other long-lived assets in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (formerly SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”), which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceed the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which such intangible assets relate. Impairments of these types of assets were recognized during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Loss per share - The Company reports loss per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 260 “Earnings per Share” (formerly SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share”). This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the loss per share computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Accordingly, this presentation has been adopted for the periods presented. There were no adjustments required to net income for the period presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no common stock equivalents (CSE) necessary for the computation of diluted loss per share.

The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2012, the Company had a retained deficit of $3,235,468 and current liabilities in excess of current assets by $462,559. During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $623,079 and negative cash flows from operations of $405,711. These factors create an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase revenues, decrease or contain costs, and achieve profitable operations. In this regard, our ability to continue as a going concern has caused the board of directors (the “Board”) to continue investigating merger and acquisition opportunities. We will look to further diversify our holdings and sources of cash flow. Should the Company's financial resources prove inadequate to meet the Company's needs before additional revenue sources can be realized, the Company may raise additional funds through loans or through sales of common or preferred stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving profitable operations or in raising any additional capital.

NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
At fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company had notes payable in the amount of $343,224, compared to $189,179, in the prior fiscal year. The notes included a note payable to an unaffiliated party in the amount of $93,769, which is not secured by collateral of the Company, carries accrued interest of 6%and is due on demand by the holder. The second note payable is to an affiliated company of our former President in the amount of $28,456, is not secured by collateral of the company, carries no interest, and is due on demand by the holder.
A third note payable was issued to an unaffiliated party on February 27, 2012 in the aggregate amount of $58,000. As of September 30, 2012, $11,000 remained outstanding on the principle amount of the note. The note carries an interest rate of 8%, is not secured by collateral of the company, and has a maturity date of November 29, 2012. The note has conversion rights beginning after month six (6). The variable conversion price is 58% of the market price, which is calculated by the average three (3) lowest closing bid prices as quoted on the applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”) during the previous ten (10) trading days. The note holder may not own any more than 4.99% of the company’s outstanding common stock. The Company recognizes the conversion option of the note (an embedded derivative) as a derivative liability.
Derivative Liability
ASC Topic 815 (“ASC 815”) requires that all derivative financial instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.
The Company issued convertible notes and has evaluated the terms and conditions of the conversion features contained in the notes to determine whether they represent embedded or freestanding derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC 815. The Company determined that the conversion features contained in the notes represent freestanding derivative instruments that meet the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instruments in the notes is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments of the convertible notes was measured at the inception date of the notes and warrants and each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date.
The Company valued the conversion features in its convertible notes using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model values the embedded derivatives based on a risk-free rate of return ranging from 0.29% to 0.30%, grant dates at 8/1/2011, 10/6/2011 and 9/30/2012, the term of convertible note, conversion prices is 55% and 58% of stock bid price at date of note conversion, current stock prices on the measurement date ranging from $0.0013 to $0.0070, and the computed measure of the Company’s stock volatility, ranging from 1,839.96% to 2,342.87%.
Included in the September 30, 2012 financial statements is a derivative liability in the amount of $18,963 to account for this transaction. It is revalued quarterly henceforth and adjusted as a gain or loss to the consolidated statements of operations depending on its value at that time.
Included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are $68,907 in change of fair value of derivative and $131,945 of debt discount amortization in non-cash charges pertaining to the derivative liability as it pertains to the gain on derivative liability and debt discount, respectively.
