FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements in this document include, among others, statements regarding our capital needs, business plans and expectations.  Such forward-looking statements involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties regarding, among others, the success of our business plan, availability of funds, government regulations, operating costs, our ability to achieve significant revenues, our business model and products and other factors.  Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology.  In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the assumptions, risks and uncertainties set forth in reports and other documents we have filed with or furnished to the SEC.  These factors or any of them may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement made in this document.  While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding future events, our actual results will likely vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.  The forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date of this document and we do not intend or undertake to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results, except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States.

 

GENERAL MATTERS

Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted certain rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)  that are applicable to "penny stocks".  For the purposes relevant to us, a “penny stock” is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or has an exercise or conversion price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, constitutes a "penny stock".  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

·         that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks;

·         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; and

·         that a broker or dealer provide certain detailed market information about the market for the applicable company’s securities.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions involving penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

·         obtain financial information, investment experience and investment objectives of the person; and

·         make a reasonable determination that the proposed 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 prepared 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.

Following a transaction, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

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 depress the market value of our stock.

There are additional risks of investing in penny stocks whether in public offerings or in secondary trading, relating to commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc. (until June 4, 2010 known as ABC Acquisition Corp. 1501, collectively referred to herein as “Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc.”, “BCSI”, or the “Company”), have has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2009 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 6, 2010, as well as the unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2010 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 17, 2010.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2009 as reported in the form 10-K have been omitted.

 

All $ references herein refer to Canadian dollars (“C$”) unless otherwise specified.  See also note 3. 

 

2. Going Concern

 

Planned principal activities have begun, Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc. has generated some revenues to September 30. 2010. The Company had a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $196,530, and had an accumulated deficit of $214,175 at September 30, 2010. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc.’s existence depends upon its ability to obtain additional capital. Management’s plans in regards to this matter including  raising additional equity financing in 2010 and borrowing funds under a private credit facility and/or other credit sources. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Effective July 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Master Supply Agreement with Trans Canada Energy Ltd (“TCE”) to provide carbon analysis and management services on an as-needed basis.  The term of the agreement expires on April 2013.  In the Company began consulting for TCE for the purpose of assessing carbon stocks in an Ontario woodlot.

 

3. Change in Functional and Reporting Currency

 

Effective June 4, 2010 the Company’s functional currency changed from the US dollar to the Canadian dollar. The Company went through a change in control effective June 4, 2010 and the shares of the Company then outstanding were acquired by a group based in Ontario, Canada.  At June 4, 2010 and subsequent to that date, the Company has raised equity and conducted the majority of its business in Canadian dollars (“C$”).  As a result, the Company has changed both its functional currency and its reporting currency from the US$ to the C$ effective June 4, 2010. Historical amounts have been restated into C$ using the average US$/C$ exchange rate for Income statement items and using the balance sheet date exchange rates for Balance Sheet items.

 

 

In accordance with EIC-130, “Translation Method When the Reporting Currency Differs from the Measurement Currency or there is a Change in the Reporting Currency” the financial statements for all periods presented have been translated into the new reporting currency using the current rate method. Under this method, the statements of operations and cash flows for each quarter have been translated into the reporting currency using the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period (2010 – 1.0334; 2009 – 1.0729) and all assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet dates (September 30, 2010 – 1.0290; December 31, 2009 – 1.0510).

 

4. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements 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 apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

At September 30, 2010, there were no uncertain tax positions that require accrual.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

 

Because the Company offered no option or other convertible debt instrument issued, as of September 30, June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, basic and diluted loss per share was the same as there were no outstanding instruments having a dilutive effect.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

 

The majority of the Company’s business is transacted in Canadian dollars (“C$”) and accordingly, the financial statements have been expressed in that currency (see note 3).  The Company uses the temporal method to translate its operating results. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the C$ are translated into C$’s at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in earnings.

 

5. Related Party Transactions

 

As more fully described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on June 7, 2010, as amended, the Company has entered into licensing and consulting agreements with Directors and/or companies related to Directors.

 

Consulting fees were paid (or are payable) to executives Mr Duchesne and Mr Cormier $20,000 each for their work during the July to September 2010 period.  Of these amounts, $7,938 was payable at September 30, 2010.

On June 4, 2010, the Company issued 37,500,000 common shares pursuant to two license agreements (18,750,000 common shares to each licensor) at a deemed price of C$0.0003 per common share, as prepayment of royalties related to exclusive technology licenses;

On June 4, 2010, the Company issued 39,500,000 common shares to Luc C. Duchesne and Robert G. Cormier, who serve as our officers (19,750,000 common shares to each officer) pursuant to consulting agreements, at a deemed price of C$0.0003 per common share for consulting services;

 

 

 

b)          Class A Preferred Shares

 

 

The Class A Preferred Shares were issued for C$1.00 per share, are non-participating and non-voting and accrue cumulative interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Company may retract the shares at any time upon the payment of C$1.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid interest.  In the event of any wind-up of the Company, the Class A Preferred Shares have a priority distribution equivalent to C$1.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid interest before any distribution to the common shareholders.

 

 

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. Shareholders’ Equity

 

Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc. (formerly known as ABC Acquisition Corp. 1501) was incorporated on July 10, 2009 as a “shell Company” or “blank check” corporation and on May 20, 2010 the Company was sold to a new shareholder.  On June 4, 2010 control of the Company was sold to a new group of shareholders (the “New Controlling Shareholders”), the corporation’s name was changed to Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc., and the Company entered into certain License and Consulting Agreements with individuals and/or entities controlled by individuals that comprise the New Controlling Shareholders.  Having obtained these licenses and considering the Company’s plan for the development of its business using the licensed technology, on June 4, 2010 the Company ceased being a blank check Company and a shell Company.

 

During the period from inception on July 10, 2009 until the change of control on June 4, 2010 the Company was inactive and incurred only minimal expenses.  Subsequent to June 4, 2010, the Company has operated at a low level of activity and, other than the Consulting Agreements entered into on June 4, 2010 with Luc C. Duchesne and Robert G. Cormier, has not entered into employment agreements with any individuals.

 

The Company’s business plan and objective is to use the licensed intellectual property to provide services and capitalize on opportunities relating to carbon trading, carbon sequestration, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs. With the increasing importance of such programs, whether participation in them by businesses is voluntary or as a result of mandatory government regulations, we believe there are opportunities for property owners and holders of timber harvesting rights to unlock the value of forested lands and other parcels of property as sources and generators of carbon credits.

Plan of Operations

The Company plans to use its licensed intellectual property and technology to conduct airborne and other surveys of forested lands in areas that are difficult to access. Those surveys would be conducted in a statistically verifiable process designed for use in carbon trading programs to assess the value (and potential value) of the surveyed lands as carbon sequestration land parcels in carbon trading, carbon sequestration, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs. The Company may also improve the intellectual property, expand the Company’s services into complementary areas and pursue other business opportunities in carbon credit and trading and other areas that are brought to our attention. In addition, the Company may seek to use its licensed intellectual property (and any improvements thereon or derivations therefrom) to pursue opportunities relating to the bio-diversity of surveyed lands.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our assets and business have not yet generated substantial or recurring revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations.  Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.

 

We will require additional financing to cover costs that we expect to incur over the next twelve months.  We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding our operations as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing.  We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or other securities.  However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations.  In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue and our business plan will fail.

 

Results of Operations

Revenues

We have generated revenues from our operations of $92,804 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, which is the only revenue during the period since inception July 10, 2009.

Expenses

We incurred general administrative and professional expenses of $102,188 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, and $196,525 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.  

 

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As at September 30, 2010, we had cash of $985 held in trust for general corporate purposes.

 

During July 2010, the Company closed a private placement for 550,000 common shares at a subscription price of $0.10 per share for total cash proceeds of $55,000. It is possible that a finder’s fee of $5,500 related to this private placement is due, although this matter is under discussion. The Company also settled certain payables of $14,042 for shares at $0.10 per share by issuing 140,416 common shares. 

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $107,450 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $147,687. 

Cash from Financing Activities

We have funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing.  If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our operations and our business will fail.

Going Concern

We are a development stage Company.  In a development stage Company, management devotes most of its activities to developing a market for its products and services.  Planned principal activities have begun, but we have generated  limited revenues to September 30, 2010. 

Future Financing

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations.  Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.  There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer (as our chief executive officer and chief financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that these controls are effective considering the level and nature of the Company’s operations and the number and types of transactions concluded by the Company.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report control and management of the Company was transformed and Bio-Carbon began operating as an active business (rather than a shell company).  As such, there were significant changes in our internal controls during the period.  For example, for the time being and until the operations of Bio-Carbon make this impractical all financial transactions involving the Company, including all payments and all agreed upon incurrances of liabilities, require a signature from, or other approval from, the CEO or CFO of Bio-Carbon.  Notwithstanding these changes, as Bio-Carbon was previously a shell company owned and managed by one person, management has no reason to believe that the internal controls in place at that time were insufficient.  Furthermore, management believes that until the operations of the Company progress to the point where tight control impedes smooth operations, it will be appropriate and sufficient (from the perspective of internal controls over financial reporting) if approval of the CEO and CFO is required for transactions that are or are reasonably likely to require disclosure in the financial statements.
