AQUALIV TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Article 8 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s September 30, 2012 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

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 December 31, 2012, the Company had a retained deficit of $9,253,073 and current liabilities in excess of current assets by $1,508,387.  During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,017,605 and negative cash flows from operations of $566,320. 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, Company’s management is focused on the development and expansion of the Company’s technology, including water filtration and purification, bioinformation and life sciences, the deployment of its technology platform in the agricultural and medical fields, and the licensing of patents, as well as exploring strategic acquisitions in the technology field. 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 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Shareholder Loans - During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s officers, either personally or through companies in their control, extended an additional use of credit in the amounts of $19,867.38, $635,000, and $10,000 for total outstanding loans of $28,955, $1,985,000, $241,667, $150,000, and $50,000, respectively. The credit carries an interest rate of 6.0%. Additionally, there are two real estate notes payable to companies under the control of an officer of the Company in the amounts of $2,400,000 and $500,000. The real estate credit carries an interest rate of 6%.

 

Management Compensation - During the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the Company paid or accrued salary and management fees of $21,140 and $30,000 to its officers.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by AquaLiv Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) from time to time with the SEC (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s business, industry, and the Company’s operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Verity Farms

 

Since the 1970’s, farmers associated with Verity Farms II and its subsidiaries and predecessors have dedicated their farming practices to healthy soil and crop production based upon natural practices and limited chemical usage. Since June 2011, substantial resources of people and facilities have been applied to build the organizational model to expand those efforts into an effective and efficient growth of natural healthy food products.

 

Verity Turf

 

Verity Farms II has developed an environmentally friendly Organic Materials Review Institute (“ORMI”) approved fertilizer to provide a natural, weed-free lawn that is safe to use and good for the environment. This product is people and pet friendly. It nurtures your grass by enhancing the natural biology of your soil.

 

Verity Water Systems

Verity Water Systems units are maintenance-free products designed to be used directly in water lines to both revitalize the water at the molecular level and to increase water’s energy-carrying capability. Different models are designed according to the water capacity needed either for personal or commercial usage.  Water unit prices run from $200 to $5000 each depending on the application.  Some of the potential benefits of Verity Water Systems include:  healthier livestock and poultry through improved hydration, oxygenation and energy; plants require less water; increase in nutrient content of seed crops and produce; plants withstand extremes in hot and freezing temperatures better; significantly increased bio-availability of nutrients; longer shelf life of agricultural produce and cut flowers; decreased seed germination time; greatly improved aerobic bacterial activity; significantly reduced anaerobic bacteria; eliminates mineral deposits like calcium, iron & aragonite; reduced bio-availability of pollutants and toxins; and increased life span of water valves, pipes, hot water heaters, swamp-coolers and humidifiers.

Verity Meats

Verity Meats is proud to offer all-natural meat products born & raised with pride by American Family Farmers. Working with only a core group of dedicated livestock producers throughout South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa, Verity Farms II was able to tailor production protocols directly to end-product needs. By knowing the importance of using quality inputs for quality results, our producers follow a program that utilizes the best of animal nutrition, health, technology, and economics along with many years of practical knowledge and scientific principles. Verity Family Farmers follow defined protocols for the production of their grain. The protocols require proper preparation of the ground. Following up to three years of conditioning and cleansing of the soil, the soil is tested and must be free of more than 250 chemical residues. The grain used to feed the livestock must pass the same test before qualifying as feed for Verity livestock. The result is the highest quality meats available – raised for Verity Farms II’s customer’s total eating enjoyment and health.

Verity Grains

 

Verity Grain comes from the harvest of Verity Farms Crops. These grains originate from only non-GMO seeds which are raised on soil which has tested below detectable limits for 250 known carcinogens and chemicals residues (test performed by independent labs using FDA and EPA test methods/guidelines). Following harvest, these grains are again tested for the 250 know carcinogens and chemical residues. Those grains which test free from those carcinogens and chemicals are then Verity Farms II certified to be fed to livestock and sold for consumption.

 

Verity Produce

 

Verity Produce is the newest, and could become one of the most crucial components of Verity Farms II.  Verity Produce consists of fruits and vegetables which are raised for human consumption. Verity Produce has been patterned after the Verity Farms crop production program, utilizing the same concept of creating a healthy, balanced soil. This creates an optimum environment for plants to grow and flourish.

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.’s products for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $94,199.

 

AquaLiv Water System

 

The AquaLiv Water System is a water purification and enhancement apparatus 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 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 approximately 99% of sales revenues.

 

Infotone Hydrating Mist

 

Infotone Hydrating Mist is a skincare product designed to clear blemishes, fade wrinkles, and even skin tone. 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 approximately 1% of the sales revenues.

 

AgSmart Rice

 

AgSmart Rice is 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.

 

NatuRx Medication Alternatives

 

Based on AquaLiv, Inc.’s bioinformation technology, NatuRx formulations utilize bioinformation composites in lieu of active-molecules (drugs) for treatment. The formulations are non-toxic and have no contraindications. NatuRx formulations are in development and not yet available to the general public.

Focus Systems, Inc.

 

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.

 

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 VoIP phone service is digital, companies can run both data and voice over the same network infrastructure 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 remote desktop, VoIP phone service, and other services for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $1,922 and included service to approximately 20 users.

 Plan of Operation

 

With the recent acquisition of Verity Farms II, the Company is committed to the sustainability of the “family farm” and a way of life for the American family farmer. Verity Farms II, through sustainable “bio-diversity best practices” soil management programs, decrease chemical dependency and reduce the application of genetic engendered products and byproducts in food production. With the acquisition of Verity Farms II, the Company is now a vertically integrated premium natural food producer and purveyor utilizing innovative and proven food production methodologies that enhance the overall health benefits in plants, animals and human beings while improving taste and fortifying essential nutrition value.

Recent advancements in AquaLiv, Inc.’s technology uncovered a new field of biological information science. With direct applications 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. While the economy has slowed in recent years, recent sales campaigns have produced positive results for AquaLiv, Inc.

 

The technology industry, especially as it applies to the small business sector, has slowed drastically during recent years and our business has changed focus. New service orders for both remote desktop and VoIP products have been slow since acquisition. Management is working to close down Focus Systems to focus more on its core business and reduce further liability.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared with the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

 

Revenues

 

The revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $96,121 as compared to $139,720 in the three months ended December 31, 2011.  Sales revenue as a direct result of AquaLiv, Inc. comprised of 98% of our revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to 92.5% of our revenue for the same three months period in 2011. Service revenue, attributed to Focus Systems, accounted for the other 2% and 7.5% of our revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Revenue recognition is accounted for as follow: Sales revenue is billed, paid, and shipped in the same period each month; service revenue is billed in advance on the first day of the month that service is rendered. The Company anticipates revenues to increase in future quarters due to the acquisition of Verity Farms II.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $12,654 (13.1% of total revenues) and $33,671 (24.1% of total revenues), respectively.  The improvement in cost of goods sold is associated with outsourcing changes made to operations related to Focus Systems and changes made in the AquaLiv Water System.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $6,137,777 as compared to $173,271 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.  The increase of $159,670 in consulting fees, decrease of $8,860 in management fees, decrease of $5,786 in payroll expense, increase of $44,477 in professional fees, decrease of $887 in research and development, decrease of $4,590 in travel expense, and decrease of $10,453 in general and administrative fees is due in part to the increased costs of running multiple businesses in expansion compared to the three months ended December 31, 2011.  The increase of $5,790,922 in loss on goodwill impairment, Verity Farms II, was due to the one time write down of goodwill attributed to the acquisition of that business during the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The Company expects operating expenses to remain higher than previously comparable quarters as the Company expands its services and incorporates the acquisition of Verity Farms II.

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $10,000, as compared to $21,469 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.  The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in net borrowing during a majority of the period and the elimination of the derivative liability of the Company.

Net (Loss) Before Provision for Income Taxes

 

The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $6,017,605 as compared to $78,544 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.  The increase in net loss is primarily attributed to the increase in our operating expenses and the one time write off of goodwill attributed to the Verity Farms acquisition for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were $6,137,777 and $173,271, respectively. The net loss for the three months ended December 30, 2012 and 2011 was $($6,017,605) and $(78,544), respectively.

 

As of December 31, 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 $1,000,000, with an estimated burn rate of $85,000 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 three months ended December 31, 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 (the “Board”) of the Company 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

 

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and 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.

 

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 has determined that material weaknesses exist due to a lack of segregation of duties, resulting from the Company's limited resources. Management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

 

  • The small size of our Company limits our ability to achieve the desired level of separation of internal controls and financial reporting. 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;

 

  • 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;

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.

   

(b) 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.
