PART I
Overview
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. We were organized to develop high strength fibers using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in both the specialty fiber and technical textile industries. Specialty fibers are engineered for specific uses that require exceptional strength, flexibility,
heat resistance and/or chemical resistance. The specialty fiber market is exemplified by two synthetic fiber products: aramid fibers and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. The technical textile industry involves products for both industrial and consumer products, such as filtration fabrics, medical textiles (e.g., sutures and artificial ligaments), safety and protective clothing and fabrics used in military and aerospace applications (e.g., high-strength composite materials).
We are using genetic engineering technologies to develop fibers with greater strength, resiliency and flexibility for use in our target markets, namely the textile, specialty fiber and technical textile industries.
Collaborative Research and Licensing
In 2006, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with the University Of Wyoming, which granted the Company the exclusive global rights to use and commercialize patented genetic sequences in silkworm. In exchange for this license the University of Wyoming received $10,000 cash payment and the University of Wyoming Foundation received 17,050,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, the Company is obligated to provide annual license fees of $10,000 and support the University research with $13,700 annually. As of today, the Company is current on the $10,000 per year payment and are accruing the $13,700 payments. No royalties are required. This agreement has remained unchanged since 2006. The Company has not signed any other agreements
with the University of Wyoming.
In 2007, the Company entered into the first of a series of collaborative research agreements with the University of Notre Dame (“Notre Dame”). The Company is contractually obligated to financially support the ongoing research and development of transgenic silkworms and the creation of recombinant silk fibers. In exchange, the Company has an option to obtain
the exclusive global commercialization rights to the technology developed pursuant to the research effort.
Following the first collative research agreement, the Company entered into successive collaborative research agreements to provide different levels of financial support. The trend has been for an increase in financial support for the research and development in nearly every successive agreement. In June 2012, we entered into the Intellectual Property
/ Collaborative Research Agreement with Notre Dame (“2012 Notre Dame Research Agreement”). On March 4, 2015 we entered into a new Intellectual Property / Collaborative Research Agreement with Notre Dame extending the agreement through March 2016 (“2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement”). Under the 2015 Notre Dame Research agreement the Company will provide approximately $534,000 in financial support. On September 20, 2015, this agreement was amended to increase the total funding by approximately
$179,000. In February 2016, this agreement was extended to July 31, 2016.
In 2011, the Company exercised its option to obtain the global commercialization rights to the technology developed under the collaborative research agreements with Notre Dame. That has resulted in a separate license agreement with Notre Dame. Pursuant to that license agreement, Notre Dame has filed an international patent application and numerous national
patent applications on technology relating to the creation and use of recombinant spider silks. The license agreement obligates the Company to reimburse Notre Dame for costs associated with the filing, prosecuting and maintaining of such patents and patent applications. In exchange for the rights to commercialization, Notre Dame has received 2,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company has agreed to pay Notre Dame royalties of 2% of the Company’s gross sales
of the licensed products and 10% of any sublicensing fees received by the Company on licensed technology. The Company has also agreed to pay to Notre Dame $50,000 a year, which will be reduced from the total amount of royalties paid in the same year. The $50,000 payment to Notre Dame is not owed for any year in which the Company is sponsoring research within Notre Dame.
On October 15, 2013, the Company entered into an intellectual property agreement with a scientific researcher relating to the development of new recombinant silk fibers. Under the terms of that agreement, the scientific researcher would transfer to the Company his rights of intellectual property, inventions and trade secrets which the researcher develops relating
to recombinant silk. The researcher received 8,000,000 common stock warrants from the Company, exercisable 24 months from the date of the agreement. The researcher would also receive additional warrants when and if the researcher develops advanced recombinant silk fibers for the Company’s use. Under the terms of the agreement, the researcher would receive 10,000,000 warrants in the event that he develops a new recombinant silk fiber with certain performance characteristics,
and another 10,000,000 warrants if he develops a second recombinant silk fiber with certain characteristics. If the researcher performs the contract in good faith the consultant will be entitled to an additional 8,000,000 warrants on the two year anniversary of the agreement. The warrants described above all contain a cashless exercise provision and are exercisable on the 24 month anniversary of the date on which they were issuable under the agreement.
3
On February 17, 2014, the Company entered into two consulting agreements with two consultants for independent technical expertise to further the Company’s development of recombinant spider silk and scientific research. As consideration for the services performed, the Company agrees to issue the following to each of the consultants:
● |
Within 30 days of the date of this agreement, a warrant for six hundred thousand (600,000) shares of the Company’s common stock to be exercisable on the 14 month anniversary of this agreement for a period of 12 months with a cashless exercise provision. Such warrant has been issued as of the date of this report. |
● |
Within 30 days of the date of this agreement, a warrant for one million shares (1,000,000) of the Company’s common stock to be exercisable on the 20 month anniversary of this agreement for a period of 12 months with a cashless exercise provision. Such warrant has been issued as of the date of this report. |
● |
Within 30 days of the date of this agreement, a warrant for two million (2,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock to be exercisable on the 32 month anniversary of this agreement for a period of 12 months with a cashless exercise provision. Such warrant has been issued as of the date of this report. |
● |
Based on the consultants reaching two sets of benchmarks, two separate warrants for one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock to be exercisable on the 28 month anniversary of this agreement for a period of 12 months with a cashless exercise provision. Such warrant has not been issued as of the date of this report. |
● |
On the three year anniversary, assuming the Board determines the consultant acted in good faith pursuant to the consulting agreements and the Company’s board of directors approves, additional warrants will be issued to consultants, as a bonus, for one million five hundred thousand shares (1,500,000) of the Company’s common stock to be exercisable on the 28
month anniversary of this agreement for a period of 12 months with a cashless exercise provision. As of the date of this Report, such warrants have not been issued. |
As of the date hereof, the Company has issued a total of 7,200,000 warrants under the foregoing two consulting agreements.
On October 2, 2014, the Company entered into a letter agreement for an equity line of financing up to $7,500,000 (the “Letter Agreement”) with Calm Seas Capital, LLC (“Calm Seas”).
Under the Letter Agreement, over a 24 month period from the effective date of a registration statement covering shares issuable to Calm Seas (the "Effective Date") we may put to Calm Seas up to an aggregate of $7,500,000 in shares of our Class A common stock for a purchase price equal to 80% of the lowest price of our Class A common stock during the five consecutive trading
days immediately following the date we deliver notice to Calm Seas of our election to put shares pursuant to the Letter Agreement. We may put shares bi-monthly. The dollar value that will be permitted for each put pursuant to the Letter Agreement will be the lesser of: (A) the product of (i) 200% of the average daily volume in the US market of our Class A common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date we deliver our put notice to Calm Seas multiplied by (ii) the average of the daily closing prices for
the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date we deliver our put notice to Calm Seas, or (B) $100,000. We will automatically withdraw our put notice to Calm Seas if the lowest closing bid price used to determine the purchase price of the put shares is not at least equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the average closing “bid” price for our Class A common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date we deliver our put notice to Calm Seas. Notwithstanding the $100,000 ceiling for
each bi-monthly put, as described above, we may at any time request Calm Seas to purchase shares in excess of such ceiling, either as a part of bi-monthly puts or as an additional put(s) during such month. If Calm Seas, in its sole discretion, accepts such request to purchase additional shares, then we may include the put for additional shares in our monthly put request or submit an additional put for such additional shares in accordance with the procedure set forth above.
The Letter Agreement will terminate when any of the following events occur:
● |
Calm Seas has purchased an aggregate of $7,500,000 of our Class A common stock; or |
● |
The second anniversary from the Effective Date. |
4
As of December 31, 2015, 26,242,772 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the Letter Agreement.
On June 22, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant pursuant to which the consultant would provide investor relations services. The agreement commenced on June 22, 2015 and continued until December 16, 2015. As agreed in the agreement and as a consideration for the services performed, on June 22, 2015, the Company issued the
consultant a three year warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock which carries a cashless exercise provision with a fair value of $590,335.
On December 30, 2015, the Company entered into a cooperative agreement for the research and pilot production of hybrid silkworms in Vietnam. Under this agreement the Company will establish a subsidiary in Vietnam where it will develop and produce hybrid silkworms. As of December 31, 2015, the subsidiary was not yet established and no work has
been performed in Vietnam for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company delayed the announcement of this agreement until late in February, 2016. This additional time was used to confirm this agreement with higher level authorities and outside review.
The Market
We are focusing our work on the creation of new fibers with unique properties including fibers with potential high performance and technical fiber applications. The performance fiber market is exemplified by two classes of product: aramid fibers, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. These products service the need for materials with high strength, resilience,
and flexibility. Because these synthetic performance fibers are stronger and tougher than steel, they are used in a wide variety of military, industrial, and consumer applications.
Among the users of performance fibers are the military and police, which employ them for ballistic protection. The materials are also used for industrial applications requiring superior strength and toughness, i.e. critical cables and abrasion/impact resistant components. Performance fibers are also employed in safety equipment, high strength composite materials for the aero-space
industry and for ballistic protection by the defense industry.
The global market for technical textiles has been estimated at greater than $133 billion.1
These are industrial materials which have become essential products for both industrial and consumer applications. The market for technical textiles can be defined as consisting of:
● |
Medical textiles; |
● |
Geotextiles; |
● |
Textiles used in Defense and Military; |
● |
Safe and Protective Clothing; |
● |
Filtration Textiles; |
● |
Textiles used in Transportation; |
● |
Textiles used in Buildings; |
● |
Composites with Textile Structure; |
● |
Functional and Sportive Textiles. |
We believe that the superior mechanical characteristics of the next generation of protein-based polymers (in other words, genetically engineered silk fibers), will open up new applications for the technology. The materials which we are working to produce are many times tougher and stronger than steel. These fibers are often referred to as “super fibers.”

This comparison table was the result of research performed by Randolph Lewis, Ph.D. at the University of Wyoming. Such work was summarized in an article entitled “Spider Silk: Ancient Ideas for New Biomaterials” which was published in Chemicals Review, volume 106, issue 9, pages 3672 – 3774. The measurements in joules in the table above are a conversion
from Dr. Lewis’ measurements in newtons/meter squared.
We believe that the genetically engineered protein-based fibers we seek to produce have properties that are in some ways superior to the materials currently available in the marketplace. For example, as noted above, the ability of spider silk to absorb in excess of 100,000 joules of kinetic energy per kilogram makes it a potentially ideal material for structural blast protection.
Production of this material in commercial quantities holds the potential of a life-saving ballistic resistant material, which is lighter, thinner, more flexible, and tougher than steel. Other applications for spider silk based recombinant fibers include use as structural material and for any application in which light weight and high strength are required. We believe that
fibers made with recombinant protein-based polymers will make significant inroads into the specialty fiber and technical textile markets.
While the properties of spider silks are well known, there was no known way to produce these fibers in commercial quantity. The spiders are cannibalistic, and cannot be raised in concentrated colonies.
Our Technology
While scientists have been able to replicate the proteins that are the building blocks of spider silk, the technological barrier that has stymied production until now has been the inability to form these proteins into a fiber with the desired mechanical characteristics and to do so in a cost effective manner.
We have licensed the right to use the patented genetic sequences and genetic engineering technology developed in university laboratories. The Company has been working collaboratively with university laboratories to develop fibers with the mechanical characteristics of spider silk. We are applying this proprietary genetic engineering technology to domesticated silkworms, which
are already the most efficient commercial producers of silk.
Our technology builds upon the unique advantages of the domesticated silkworm for this application. The silkworm is ideally suited to produce recombinant protein fiber because it is already an efficient commercial and industrial producer of protein based polymers. Forty percent (40%) of the caterpillars’ weight is devoted to the silk glands. The silk glands produce
large volumes of protein, called fibroin, which are then spun into a composite protein thread (silk).
We are working to use our genetic engineering technology to create recombinant silk polymers. On September 29, 2010, we jointly announced with the University of Notre Dame the success of our collaborative research with Notre Dame in creating approximately twenty different strains of transgenic silkworm which produce recombinant silk polymers. In April 2011, we entered into
a licensing agreement with Sigma-Aldrich which provides us the use of Sigma-Aldrich’s zinc finger technology to accelerate and enhance our product development.
A part of our intellectual property portfolio is the exclusive right to use certain patented spider silk gene sequences in silkworm. Under the Exclusive License Agreement with the University of Wyoming, we have obtained certain exclusive rights to use numerous genetic sequences which are the subject of US patents.
6
The introduction of the gene sequence, in the manner employed by us, results in a germline transformation and is therefore self-perpetuating. This technology is in essence a protein expression platform which has other potential applications including diagnostics and pharmaceutical production.
The Company
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (Kraig) is a Wyoming corporation. Our shares are traded on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol: KBLB. There are 719,110,271 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2016. Kim Thompson, our founder and CEO, owns approximately 34.3% of the issued and outstanding common
shares. There are 2 shares of super voting preferred stock issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2016, all of which Kim Thompson owns.
The inventor of our technology concept, Kim Thompson, is the founder of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. Our protein expression system is, in concept, scalable, cost effective, and capable of producing a wide range of proteins and materials.
On April 8, 2011, Kraig and Sigma-Aldrich Co., an Illinois corporation (“Sigma”) entered into a License and Option Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Sigma will provide Kraig with its proprietary genetic engineering tools and expertise in zinc finger nuclease to enable Kraig to significantly accelerate its product development. In addition to providing
the customized tools and technological know-how, Sigma has granted Kraig an option for a commercial license to use the technology in the textile, technical textile and biomedical markets. Sigma will create customized zinc fingers for Kraig's use in its development of spider silk polymers and technical textiles.
In September 2010, the Company announced that it had succeeded in introducing spider silk DNA in silkworm with the result that the transgenic silkworm were producing new recombinant silk fibers. These fibers are a combination of natural silkworm silk proteins and proteins that the silkworms are making as a result of the introduction of the spider silk DNA. The Company announced
that it had created approximately twenty different transgenic silkworm strains producing recombinant silk.
We entered into an intellectual property and collaborative research agreement with the University of Notre Dame in 2007. That agreement was subsequently extended and expanded to include research and development of certain platform technologies with potential applications for diagnostics and pharmaceutical production. On March 20, 2010, the Company extended its agreement with
Notre Dame through February 28, 2011. Pursuant to these agreements the genetic work has been conducted primarily within Notre Dame’s laboratories. In June 2012, we entered into the Intellectual Property / Collaborative Research Agreement with Notre Dame (“2012 Notre Dame Research Agreement”). On March 4, 2015 we entered into a new Intellectual Property / Collaborative Research Agreement with University of Notre Dame extending the agreement through
March 2016 (“2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement”). Under the 2015 Notre Dame Research agreement the Company will provide approximately $534,000 in financial support. On September 20, 2015 this agreement was amended to increase the total funding by approximately $179,000. In February 2016 this agreement was extended to July 31, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the Company paid $ $432,008and $439,536 in research and development fees.
We also entered into an intellectual property and sponsored research agreement with the University of Wyoming in 2006.
License Agreements/Intellectual Property
We have obtained certain rights to use a number of university created, and patented, spider silk proteins, gene sequences and methodologies.
Between 2010 and 2014 the University of Notre Dame filed approximately 12 patent applications pursuant to our intellectual property and collaborative research agreement. Under the terms of that agreement the Company has an option for the exclusive commercial rights to that technology. The Company has notified the University of its exercise of that option. These
patent applications include coverage in the United States, Europe, Korea, Vietnam, Brazil, India, China, Australia, Japan, and Canada. As of the date hereof, all of these patents were pending applications and none have been issued.
7
We do not own any patents. In 2014, seven trademarks were issued to the Company which it intends to use for product branding in the future. The details of such trademarks are set forth in the following table:

License Agreement with Notre Dame University
In 2011, the Company exercised its option to obtain the global commercialization rights to the technology developed under the collaborative research agreements with Notre Dame. On October 28, 2011, the Company entered into a license agreement with the University of Notre Dame. Under the agreement, the Company received exclusive and non-exclusive rights to certain
spider silk technologies including commercial rights with the right to sublicense such intellectual property.
In consideration of the licenses granted under the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the University of Notre Dame 2,200,000 shares of its common stock and to pay a royalty of 2% of net sales.
The Agreement has a term of 20 years which can be extended on an annual basis after that. It can be terminated by the University of Notre Dame if the Company defaults on its obligations under the Agreement and fails to cure such default within 90 days of a written notice by the university. The Company can terminate the Agreement upon a 90 day written notice subject to
payment of a termination fee of $5,000 if the termination takes place within 2 years after its effectiveness, $10,000 if the termination takes place within 4 years after its effectiveness, and $20,000 if the Agreement is terminated after 4 years.
Exclusive License Agreement with University of Wyoming
In May 2006, we entered into a license agreement with the University of Wyoming, pursuant to which we have licensed the right to commercialize the production by silkworms of certain synthetic and natural spider silk proteins and the genetic sequencing for such spider silk proteins. These spider silk proteins and genetic sequencing are covered by patents held by the University
of Wyoming. Our license allows us only to use silkworms to produce the licensed proteins and genetic sequencing. We have the right to sublicense the intellectual property that we license from the University of Wyoming. Our license agreement with the University of Wyoming requires that we pay licensing and research fees to the university in exchange for an exclusive license in our field of use for certain university-developed intellectual property including patented spider silk gene sequences. Pursuant to the
agreement, we issued 17,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock to the University Foundation. Our license agreement with the University of Wyoming will continue until the later of (i) expiration of the last-to-expire patent we license from the University of Wyoming under this license agreement in such country or (ii) ten years from the date of first commercial sale of a licensed product in such country. There are no royalties payable to the University of Wyoming under the terms of our agreement with them.
We anticipate making arrangements with the University of Wyoming within the next twelve months to address accrued feeds. If we fail to make such arrangements the University of Wyoming could terminate our license agreement. We anticipate that such a termination would result in a loss of three to nine months of research time and result in increased research and development
costs in the range of $30,000 to $140,000.
Research and Development
On September 29, 2010 we announced that we had achieved our longstanding goal of producing new silk fibers composed of recombinant proteins. The Company intends to turn our technology to the development and production of high performance polymers.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we have spent approximately 7,000 hours and 7,000 hours, respectively, on research and development activities, which consisted primarily of laboratory research on genetic engineering by our outside consultants pursuant to our collaborative research agreement with the University of Notre Dame.
8
Employees
In fiscal year 2015 we had two (2) employees including Kim Thompson, our sole officer and director and Jon Rice, our Chief Operating Officer. In January 2015, we appointed Mr. Jonathan R. Rice as our Chief Operating Officer. We plan to hire more persons on as-needed basis.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The following information should be read in conjunction with Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("we", "us", "our", or the “Company”) condensed unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Information in this Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations," and elsewhere in this Form 10-K that does not consist of historical facts, are "forward-looking statements." Statements accompanied or qualified by, or containing words such as "may," "will," "should," "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "outlook," "forecast," "anticipates," "presume," and "assume" constitute forward-looking statements, and as such, are not a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of the factors described in the “Risk Factors” and detailed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. Risks and uncertainties can include,
among others, international, national and local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss
of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to obtain sufficient financing to continue and expand business operations; the ability to develop technology and products; changes in technology and the development of technology and intellectual property by competitors; the ability to protect technology and develop intellectual
property; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings. Consequently, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results.
Because of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report or incorporated by reference might not transpire. Factors that cause actual results or conditions to differ from those anticipated by these and other forward-looking statements include those more fully described elsewhere in this report and in the “Risk
Factors” section of our registration statement on Form S-1.
The Company disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this report.
Plan of Operations
During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations:
● |
|
We have spent approximately $432,008 between January 2015 and December 2015 on collaborative research and development of high strength polymers at the University of Notre Dame. We expect to spend approximately $35,000 per month between January 2016 and July 2016 on collaborative research and development of high strength polymers at the University of Notre Dame. With
this funding we plan to accelerate both our microbiology and selective breeding programs as well as providing more resources for our material testing protocols. If our financing allows, management will give strong consideration to accelerating the pace of spending on research and development within the University of Notre Dame’s laboratories.
|
● |
|
We expect to spend approximately $13,700 on collaborative research and development of high strength polymers and spider silk protein at the University of Wyoming over the next twelve months. This level of research spending at the university is also a requirement of our licensing agreement with them.
|
● |
|
We will actively consider pursuing collaborative research opportunities with other university laboratories in the area of high strength polymers. If our financing will allow, management will give strong consideration to increasing the depth of our research to include polymer production technologies that are closely related to our core research
|
● |
|
We will consider buying an established revenue producing company in a compatible business, in order to broaden our financial base and facilitate the commercialization of our products. We expect to use a combination of stock and cash for any such purchase.
|
● |
|
We will also actively consider pursuing collaborative research opportunities with both private and university laboratories in areas of research which overlap the company’s existing research and development. One such potential area for collaborative research which the company is considering is protein expression platforms. If our financing will allow, management will
give strong consideration to increasing the breadth of our research to include protein expression platform technologies.
|
● |
|
We plan to actively pursue collaborative research and product testing, opportunities with companies in the biotechnology, materials, textile and other industries.
|
● |
|
We plan to actively pursue collaborative commercialization, marketing and manufacturing opportunities with companies in the textile and material sectors for the fibers we developed and for any new polymers that we create in 2016.
|
● |
|
We plan to actively pursue the development of commercial scale production of our recombinant materials including Monster SilkTM and Dragon SilkTM. |

Limited Operating History
We have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business through an increased investment in our research and development efforts. We cannot guarantee that the research and development efforts described in this filing will be successful. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources, risks inherent
in the research and development process and possible rejection of our products in development.
If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue expanding our operations. Equity financing will result in a dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations for the Years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $0. This compares to $0 in revenue for the for the twelve month period which ended December 31, 2014.
Operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 were $2,054,539. This compares to $1,834,358 in expenses during the twelve month period which ended December 31, 2014. Research and development expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 were $432,008. This compares to $439,536 spent on research and development during the twelve months ended December
31, 2014. In addition, we had the following expenses during the twelve month period which ended December 31, 2015: general and administrative $920,919, professional fees $260,716 and officer’s salary $440,896. This compares to the same expenses during the twelve month period which ended December 31, 2014: general and administrative $896,079, professional fees $180,599, and officer’s salary $318,144.
Our professional fee expenses and officer’s salary experienced the largest changes between the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These values are set forth below:
|
Year ended 12/31/2015 |
Year ended 12/31/2014 |
Professional Fees |
$260,716 |
$180,599 |
Officer’s Salary |
$440,896 |
$318,144 |
The increase in professional fee expenses of $80,117 in 2015 was primarily due to increased spending on patent filings.
The primary reason for the increase in officer’s salary of $122,752 was the addition of Mr Rice to the Company in January of 2015.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2015 we had $238,188 in cash compared to $495,036 as of December 31, 2014.
We believe we can not satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash. Completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate financing. We cannot assure investors that adequate financing will be available. In the absence of such financing, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations.
We anticipate that our operational, and general & administrative expenses for the next 12 months will total approximately $2,150,000. We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning
and business conditions. The exact allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and our progress with the execution of our business plan.
In the event we are not successful in obtaining financing, we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the commercialization of our products and further research and development of new products. We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern.
13
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and revenue and expense amounts
reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require
management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805) (“ASU 2015-16”). Topic 805 requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the Update require
that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an
entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-016 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In August, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the
guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period.
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest–Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) (“ASU 2015-03”), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance
sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its balance sheets.
In November 2014, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-16—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this
Update do not change the current criteria in GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. That is, an entity will continue to evaluate whether the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract, among other relevant criteria. The amendments clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host
contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. The effects of initially adopting the amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Retrospective application is permitted to all relevant prior periods.
In November 2014, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-17—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this Update provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements
upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued
On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation ("ASUE 2014-10"). The guidance is intended to reduce the overall cost
and complexity associated with financial reporting for development stage entities without reducing the availability of relevant information. The Board also believes the changes will simplify the consolidation accounting guidance by removing the differential accounting requirements for development stage entities. As a result of these changes, there no longer will be any accounting or reporting differences in GAAP between development stage entities and other operating entities. For organizations defined as public
business entities the presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required starting with the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). The Company adopted this pronouncement for the period from April 25, 2006 (inception)
through December 31, 2015.
14
In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant
their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For
all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified
awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations,
cash flows or financial condition. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition
On August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether
there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically,
the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year
after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. As of December 31, 2015, we have adopted the provisions of this ASU.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 of 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 financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

KRAIG BIOCRAFT LABORATORIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A) Organization
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. The Company was organized to develop high strength, protein based fiber, using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in the textile and specialty fiber industries.
(B) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
(C) Cash
For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
(D) Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260, “Earnings per Share.” As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, warrants were not included in the computation of income/ (loss) per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
|
December 31,
2015 |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
(F) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, 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 apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The net deferred tax liability in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:

The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2034.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was an increase of $ 495,156 and $413,915, respectively.

KRAIG BIOCRAFT LABORATORIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all federal or state income tax positions. Each
income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2015 and
2014 there were no amounts that had been accrued in respect to uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s federal income tax returns, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”); and all returns from fiscal 2009 through today remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.
(G) Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines
if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model.
(H) Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize
the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company
applies this statement prospectively.
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718. FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement
date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
(I) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805) (“ASU 2015-16”). Topic 805 requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the Update require
that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an
entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-016 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In August, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”). The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the
guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period.
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest–Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) (“ASU 2015-03”), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance
sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its balance sheets.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
(K) Reclassification
The 2014 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation.
(L) Equipment
The Company values property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life. The Company uses a five year life for automobiles.
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
There were no impairment losses recorded during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
(M) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We hold certain financial assets, which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC Topic 820-10”). ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Level 1 instruments include
cash, account receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory and account payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying values are assumed to approximate the fair value due to the short term nature of the instrument.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
° |
Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We believe our carrying value of level 1 instruments approximate their fair value at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. |
° |
Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
° |
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We consider depleting assets, asset retirement obligations and net profit interest liability to be Level 3. We determine the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities utilizing various inputs, including
NYMEX price quotations and contract terms. |

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,963,044 and stockholders’ deficiency of $1,896,936 and used $967,563 of cash in operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting
officer), 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 CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report, 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 CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our Chief Executive Officer, as the principal executive officer (chief executive officer) and principal financial officer (chief financial officer), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f). 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. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control – Integrated Framework” (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2015, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the purposes for which it is intended based on the following material weaknesses:
– |
Lack of internal audit function. During 2015, the Company, upon review of the independent auditors, made some adjustments to its financial statements, including, adjusting salary amounts and the related tax accruals, correcting warrant expense for a warrant issued to
a related party, and adding the liability due to our attorney that should have been recorded. Management believes that the foregoing is due to the fact that the Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly and that the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed. Specifically, the reporting mechanism between the accounting department and the Board of Directors and the CEO was not effective, therefore resulting in the delay of
recording and reporting. |
|
|
– |
No Segregation of Duties Ineffective controls over financial reporting: As of December 31, 2015, we had no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to insure that all transactions are accounted for
accurately and in a timely manner. |
|
|
– |
Lack of a functioning audit committee: Due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, and no audit committee has been elected, the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures is inadequate. |
|
|
– |
Written Policies & Procedures: Due to lack of written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, the Company did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions. |
38
We are developing a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately, and as of the date of this report, we have hired a payroll service firm to manage all payroll functions including tax withholdings. We will take the following steps to address the above-referenced material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting:
1. |
We will continue to educate our management personnel to increase its ability to comply with the disclosure requirements and financial reporting controls; and |
|
|
2. |
We will increase management oversight of accounting and reporting functions in the future; and |
|
|
3. |
As soon as we can raise sufficient capital or our operations generate sufficient cash flow, we will hire personnel to handle our accounting and reporting functions. |
While the first two steps of our remediation process are ongoing, we do not expect to remediate the weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting until the time when we start to commercialize a recombinant fiber (and, therefore, may have sufficient cash flow for hiring personnel to handle our accounting and reporting functions).
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm because as a smaller reporting company we are not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

The agreement renewed annually so that at all times, the term of the agreement was five years. Pursuant
to this agreement, the Company agreed to pay an annual base salary of $185,000 for the period May 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. Base pay will be increased each January 1st, for the subsequent twelve month periods by six percent. The officer will also be entitled to life, disability, health and dental insurance. In addition, the officer received five year warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.21 per share, eight year warrants to purchase 1,500,000 sharesof common stock
at an exercise price of $0.33 per share, and nine year warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The warrants fully vested on the date of grant. The agreement also calls for the issuance of warrants and increase in the officer’s base compensation upon the Company reaching certain milestones. The Chief executive subsequently waved all warrants and milestone based compensation to which he would have been entitled under the April 26, 2006 agreement.
On January 20, 2015, the Company entered into an at-will employment agreement with Mr. Jonathan R. Rice, its Chief Operating Officer (the “COO Employment Agreement”). The COO Employment Agreement has a term of one year and can be terminated by either the Company or Mr. Rice at any time. Under the COO Employment Agreement, Mr. Rice is entitled to an annual cash
compensation of $120,000, which includes salary, health insurance, 401K retirement plan contributions, etc. The Company also agreed to reimburse Mr. Rice for his past educational expenses of approximately $11,000. In addition, on January 23, 2015, Mr. Rice was issued a three-year warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.001 per share pursuant to the COO Employment Agreement. Additionally, on May 28, 2015,
the Company issued a three-year warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The warrant fully vests on October 28, 2016. For the twelve months ended the Company recorded $121,448 for the warrants issued to related party.

Audit Fees
For the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we were billed approximately $13,000 and $13,000 for professional services rendered for the audit and review of our financial statements.
Audit Related Fees
There were no fees for audit related services for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
43
Tax Fees
For the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we were not billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
All Other Fees
The Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
● |
approved by our audit committee; or |
● |
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management. |
We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.
The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentages of the above fees were pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
