NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets of LifeQuest World
Corporation (the Company, We) as of November 30, 2008 and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months
ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 and the unaudited consolidated statements of
cash flows for the six-month periods then ended have been prepared by the
Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows at November 30, 2008 and 2007
and for the six months then ended have been made.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Companys May 31, 2008 audited
financial statements and Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the
period ended November 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the entire year.
The
presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and
assumptions used in the accompanying condensed financial statements are based
upon managements evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the
time of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NOTE
2 COMPANYS CONTINUED EXISTENCE:
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
However, the Company has sustained substantial losses and has a
significant working capital deficit. The Company intends to generate
positive cash flows from operations through increased sales from its new ImmunXT
product utilizing the network of distributors in place and from financing
activities by issuing additional stock, and obtaining necessary capital through
additional advances from the Companys principal stockholder or through private
placements. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain
additional capital from private placements in the future. The Company has
no other committed sources or arrangements for additional financing.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to recoverability
and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue to
exist.

NOTE 4 INTANGIBLE
ASSET:
On December 1, 2006, the Company purchased, through an exclusive
license and distribution agreement, the worldwide marketing rights to the most
powerful, natural immune booster discovered to date (ImmunXT), as stated by the
scientific research team that developed the product. These rights have been
acquired from Nordic Immotech Trading APS, a leading life science company with a
successful history of producing unique, patented products that are distributed
on a global scale. The agreement has an initial term of five years. The
agreement automatically renews an additional five years if minimum purchase
commitments are met.
The total recorded cost of the license was $2,390,721. The Company
began marketing the product domestically in February 2008. The Company began
amortizing the license at that time and is calculating the amortization over the
estimated sales volume that is anticipated over the remaining term of the
licensed agreement to properly match revenue and expenses. The accumulated
amortization for the period ended November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008, was $3,256
and $2,022, respectively.
Under this license agreement, the Company has minimum purchase
commitments for the calendar years as follows: 2007-1,000 Kilograms (Kg)
($490,000), 2008-2,000 Kg ($980,000) (as amended), 2009-9,000 Kg ($4,410,000),
2010-15,000 Kg ($7,350,000), and 2011 and each year thereafter-20,000 Kg
($9,800,000). If the Company fails to meet the minimum purchase requirements,
Nordic Immotech has the right to terminate their license agreement with three
months written notice from the expiration of the applicable calendar year. The
Company has met the minimum purchase requirements for calendar year 2007. The
2008 purchase commitment was renegotiated (see Note 11). The value of these
commitments was determined with pricing as of November 30, 2008.
As part of the license agreement noted above, Nordic Immotech
shall pay the Company a royalty of ten percent (10%) of net sales of raw
materials sold by Nordic and or affiliates to independent third parties in
territories outside of the United States.
In a separate agreement, the Company was granted an option to
purchase all the shares in Nordic Immotech. Subject to the terms and conditions
of the separate agreement, the Company had the option to purchase all of the
shares of Nordic Immotech (170,000 shares) at a fixed price of $76.47 per share
for a total of $13,000,000 anytime before December 1, 2008. This was
renegotiated subsequent to November 30, 2008 (see Note 11).
NOTE 5 DISTRIBUTOR
STOCK BONUS PLAN:
Prior
to June 1, 2007, the Company offered to its distributors a plan whereby the
distributors could earn a
8
stock
bonus based on sales and bonus points. Distributors earned certificates
redeemable for one share of the Companys common stock three years after the
certificate has been earned. The number of certificates outstanding at November
30, 2008 and May 31, 2008 were 88,160. The liability recorded by the Company for
these bonus points was $111,695 (included in accrued compensation and benefits)
at November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008 which was recorded by the Company at the
fair value of the common stock on the date they were earned. During the six
month period ended November 30, 2008 and year ended May 31, 2008; no shares were
issued to any distributors under this plan. Effective June 1, 2007, this plan
was discontinued and all distributors who had earned certificates under the plan
became fully vested. As of January 20, 2009, all 88,160 certificates
remain outstanding.
NOTE 6 PREFERRED
STOCK ISSUANCE:
In
September 2008, the Board of Directors has designated 10,000,000 of 50,000,000
total authorized preferred shares as Series B. The Series B preferred shares
have no liquidating or other preference, cannot be converted to common stock or
sold and has no dividend rights. However, each Series B preferred share has the
equivalent of ten common shares for voting rights. The Company will vote with
Series B preferred stock and common stock shareholders as one class. The
Company issued 10,000,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock to our CEO
during the period ended November 30, 2008 for his consideration in signing a
2-year employment agreement effective October 15, 2008. If for any reason the
CEO terminates his contract and employment with the Company, these preferred
shares will be returned to the treasury of the Company.
NOTE 7
CONTINGENCIES:
In the
ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to legal actions and
threatened claims and incurs costs to defend against such legal actions and
claims. Company management is not aware of any such outstanding, pending
or threatened action, claim or other circumstance that would materially affect
the Companys financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 8 - INCOME
TAXES:
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred
tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred
tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary
differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of the enactment. The Company has recorded a full
valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets due to the significance of its
continued operating losses.
NOTE 9 RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Intellectual Property License
Agreement
In
January 1999, we entered into an intellectual property license agreement (the
"License Agreement") with Jurak Holdings Limited ("JHL"), a corporation
organized under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and an affiliate of
our Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors. Pursuant to the terms and
9
provisions of the License Agreement, we are required to pay the
greater of $500,000 for fiscal year 2003 and each calendar year thereafter,
during the first ten years of the License Agreement (the "Minimum Royalty Fee"),
or eight percent of the net sales price of all licensed products sold under the
License
Agreement (the "Continuing Royalty Fee"). After fiscal 2013, we
are required to make payments in the amount of the Continuing Royalty Fee. On
any amounts past due on this agreement, interest will accrue at prime plus
1%.
For the
six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, the minimum royalty fee for the
amount of $250,000 was expensed. The accrued payments due and owing to JHL under
the License Agreement for the Minimum Royalty Fee and the Continuing Royalty Fee
were $1,345,957 and $1,087,598 at November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008,
respectively. The amount owed as of November 30, 2008 includes interest of
$14,823 which was recorded for the six month period ended November 30, 2008 due
to continued delinquent payments.
The Company has a payable due to its majority stockholder totaling
$187,107 and $22,980 at November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008, respectively. These
liabilities are for reimbursement of business expenses due the stockholder and
for working capital advances made to the Company. No interest is being charged
on these balances.
The Company has included in accounts payable related party
balances due to an entity owned by the majority stockholder totaling $96,912 at
November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008. These liabilities are for consulting
services and reimbursement of business expenses due the entity. No interest is
being charged on these outstanding balances.
NOTE 10
COMMITMENT
The
Company has entered into an endorsement and consulting agreement with a film and
television actor to promote the immune booster product line. The one year
agreement was effective May 1, 2008, with a Company option to extend two years.
The Company has a minimum commitment of $42,000 during the first year. There are
escalator clauses based on sales milestones, as defined in the agreement, which
could cause the commitment to increase. The Company has expensed $17,000 for the
six months ended November 30, 2008, relating to this agreement.
NOTE 11
SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
Subsequent to November 30, 2008, the Company and Nordic Immotech
entered into a Standstill Addendum to the purchase agreement and distribution
and sublicense agreements related to their exclusive license agreement for the
ImmunXT product (see Note 4). The primary intent of this Addendum was to extend
the time period to acquire Nordic Immotech and to extend the required minimum
purchase commitment of raw product for the calendar year 2008 to March 31, 2009.
The Company has a 1,700 kg outstanding purchase commitment of raw product
remaining at November 30, 2008 which equates to approximately $833,000.
In
consideration for this agreement, the Company has issued Nordic Immotech
4,166,667 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1,000,000 or $0.24 per
share in December 2008. The Company may use the value of these shares to
offset the purchase price of Nordic Immotech, if an agreement to purchase Nordic
Immotech is reached. The Company also has the option to repurchase these shares
for $0.48 per share ($2,000,000) at February 27, 2009 or $0.60 per share
($2,500,000) at March 31, 2009. Nordic
10
Immotech may not sell these shares without the Company having the
right of repurchase prior to March 31, 2009. If no agreement is reached by March
29, 2009, the shares remain with Nordic Immotech and will be fully
tradeable.
NOTE 12
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the
weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the periods
presented. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net
earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding plus
all dilutive potential common shares. The Company does not have any dilutive
potential common shares for the periods presented.
NOTE 13
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of
a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not Active (FSP FAS
157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not
active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining
the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is
not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance. Its
adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys financial
statements.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
LifeQuest World Corporation, a Minnesota corporation incorporated
on November 1, 1997, currently trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board
under the symbol "LQWC". LifeQuest World Corporation is a Life Science company
that is dedicated to significantly improving the lives of its family members,
associates and distributor organization.
We strive daily through our own research and development
laboratories, as well as our professional association with one of the worlds
leading botanical research centers, to provide human beings with solutions to
many of lifes unanswered health challenges. Infusing proprietary science under
the scrutiny of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and adhering to the efficacy
of pharmaceutical protocols, LifeQuests products are effective, safe and
superior within the marketplace for nutritional supplements and consumables.
But our commitment does not end there. The worlds demand for
health and well-being only begins with proper nutrition. LifeQuest strives to
present a whole-minded approach for our distributers to better living by putting
equal emphasis on an improved life style, freedom through financial reward and
the enhancement of the Human Spirit.
We provide extensive product education and personal development
through sophisticated training programs for our distributers. We offer
substantial earning potential available through a generous compensation plan. To
promote optimum health, we have invested millions of dollars to create superior
nutritional supplements and advanced personal care products. It is with great
pride that LifeQuest World Corporation hopes continue to inspire thousands to
change an average existence, into a life of celebration.
In December 2006, LifeQuest World Corporation acquired the
worldwide rights to a new, patented Immune-Stimulatory extract from marine
sourced Spirulina developed by leading research scientists at the National
Center for Natural Product Research (NCNPR) at the University of
Mississippi. LifeQuest had a limited introduction through its distributors
in its initial launch of ImmunXT in February 2008. The product named
ImmunXT was researched and developed over a ten year period with exhaustive
clinical and scientific testing with benchmark criteria that it had to be 100%
natural and certified vegetarian. Per the studies done by NCNPR, ImmunXT
is one of the most powerful Immune-Stimulatory extracts, specifically with
respect to macrophage activation within the innate immune system. Recent
research has shown that the innate immune system, primarily in the digestive
tract, is the bodys first line of defense and its main function is to guard the
body against disease and invasion by harmful pathogens.
Along with this scientific team, LifeQuests own group has decades
of practical research, development and manufacturing experience in nutritional
products and maintains a professional awareness of any new life changing
products available from major product development centers. To be considered for
acquisition, products must have either good reputable academic pedigree, backed
with very thorough scientific data, or meet product criteria that have very long
substantiated consumer use with extremely credible personal, subjective and
objective results. LifeQuest has made a substantial financial investment
along with years of developmental work in the acquisition of ImmunXT.
LifeQuest products also must meet the requirements of strong
functionality and be results-based because we design product research on the
principle that functional, beneficial nutritional products are desired by
consumers today. The consumer understands that good nutritional practices may
reduce the risk of disease.
LifeQuests products
have been developed
to enhance immune competence, detoxification,
12
functionality at the cellular level and promote digestive health.
LifeQuest believes that an optimal immune system, positive cellular function and
digestive health are vital and beneficial for overall, better physical
health.
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations
and financial position should be read in conjunction with our audited financial
statements and the notes thereto, included in our 10-KSB filed for the year
ended May 31, 2008. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The
following discussion is intended to provide an analysis of our financial
condition and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial
statements and the notes thereto. The matters discussed in this section,
which are not historical or current facts, deal with potential future
circumstances and developments. Such forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, the development plans for our growth, trends in the
results of our development, anticipated development plans, operating expenses
and our anticipated capital requirements and capital resources. Our actual
results could differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the
Company has sustained substantial losses and its current liabilities exceed its
current assets. The Company intends to generate positive cash flows from
operations through increased sales utilizing the network of distributors in
place with existing products and the new natural immune booster products,
issuing additional stock, and obtaining necessary capital through additional
advances from the Companys principal stockholder or through private
placements.
To
continue operations, the Company must raise additional capital. However, there
can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain additional capital from
private placements in the future. The Company has no other committed sources or
arrangements for additional financing.
Three months Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to Three months
Ended November 30, 2007
Total
revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2008 was $193,488 compared to
$274,989 in the same period ended in 2007. Gross profit was $150,660 for
the three months ended November 30, 2008 compared to $218,953 for the same
period ended in 2007, as further discussed below. The net loss during the three
months ended November 30, 2008 was $226,510 compared to a net loss of $270,810
in the same period ended in 2007.
Sales and Gross Profit
All
revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
were for product sales. The Company recorded $57,640 in sales for the new
ImmunXT product line for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and none for
the comparable period. There was no royalty income due from Nordic Immotech for
their sales of our natural immune booster product in Europe during either three
month period ended. Sales by Nordic Immotech were expected to be sporadic in
fiscal 2009 as they continue to introduce the ImmunXT product in new markets.
They also tend to sell product in bulk to large distributers which is a
different marketing model than what the Company is currently employing.
13
Sales
from our Jurak product line continues to decline because of a decline in new
distributers being added compared to prior years.
Gross
profit in the three months ended November 30, 2008 decreased to $150,660
compared to $218,953 in the same period ended in 2007. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 78% in the three months ended
November 30, 2008 compared to 80% in the same period ended in 2007. The decrease
in gross profit as a percentage of sales is due to product mix.
Royalty Expense-Related Party
The
minimum royalty expense-related party accrued to Jurak Holdings Limited (related
party) remained consistent for both periods at $125,000.
Distribution, Selling and Administrative Expenses
Total
distribution, selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended
November 30, 2008 were $248,111 compared with $345,198 for the same period ended
in 2007. The selling and administrative expenses decreased compared to 2007.
Management continues to monitor and control expenses including eliminating
personnel and other costs as necessary during 2008. We anticipate increasing
personnel and related distribution, selling and administrative expenses as the
new ImmunXT product line grows in sales.
Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2008 was
$4,059 compared with $19,565 for the same period in the prior year. Current year
interest costs decreased compared to prior year due to imputed interest expense
on the purchase of the Nordic License agreement during 2007. This agreement was
paid in full prior to the three months ended November 30, 2008.
Six
months Ended November 30, 2008 Compared to Six months Ended November 30, 2007
Total
revenue for the six months ended November 30, 2008 was $355,645 compared to
$557,493 in the same period ended in 2007. Gross profit was $280,628 for
the six months ended November 30, 2008 compared to $425,101 for the same period
ended in 2007, as further discussed below. The net loss during the six months
ended November 30, 2008 was $573,462 compared to a net loss of $620,234 in the
same period ended in 2007.
Sales and Gross Profit
All
revenue for the six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were
for product sales. The Company recorded $82,150 in sales for the new ImmunXT
product line for the six months ended November 30, 2008 and none for the
comparable period. There was no royalty income due from Nordic Immotech for
their sales of our natural immune booster product in Europe during either six
month period ended. Sales by Nordic Immotech were expected to be sporadic in
fiscal 2009 as they continue to introduce the ImmunXT product in new markets.
They also tend to sell product in bulk to large distributers which is a
different marketing model than what the Company is currently employing. Sales
from our Jurak product line continues to decline because of a decline in new
distributers being added compared to prior years.
Gross
profit in the six months ended November 30, 2008 decreased to $280,628 compared
to $425,101 in the same period ended in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of
revenue increased slightly to 79% in the
14
six
months ended November 30, 2008 compared to 76% in the same period ended in 2007.
The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales is due to product mix and
continued effort by management to control costs.
Royalty Expense-Related Party
The
minimum royalty expense-related party accrued to Jurak Holdings Limited (related
party) remained consistent for both periods at $250,000.
Distribution, Selling and Administrative Expenses
Total
distribution, selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended
November 30, 2008 were $589,267 compared with $745,112 for the same period ended
in 2007. The selling and administrative expenses decreased compared to 2007.
Management continues to monitor and control expenses including eliminating
personnel and other costs as necessary during 2008. We anticipate increasing
personnel and related distribution, selling and administrative expenses as the
new ImmunXT product line grows in sales.
Interest expense for the six months ended November 30, 2008 was
$14,823 compared with $50,223 for the same period in the prior year. Current
year interest costs decreased compared to prior year due to imputed interest
expense on the purchase of the Nordic License agreement during 2007. This
agreement was paid in full prior to the six months ended November 30, 2008.
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
Six
Month Period Ended November 30, 2008
We have
historically had more expenses and cost of sales than revenue in each year of
our operations. The accumulated deficit as of November 30, 2008 was $8,041,764.
Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the
private placement of equity and debt securities and sales revenue. In connection
with our business plan, management anticipates that there may be additional
increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to the new
immune booster products. We intend to finance these expenses with further
issuances of our securities and revenues from operations. Therefore, we expect
we may need to raise additional capital and increase our revenues to meet
long-term operating requirements.
At
November 30, 2008, the Company had $0 of cash compared to $16,336 at May 31,
2008. The Company had current assets of $284,299 and current liabilities
of $2,152,079 at November 30, 2008 compared to current assets of $316,781 and
current liabilities of $1,586,187 at May 31, 2008.
Net
cash used in operating activities was $187,394 during the six months ended
November 30, 2008 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $488,817
in the same period ended in 2007. The decrease in cash used by operations was
primarily due to the increase in current liabilities and better management of
inventory levels as the Company continues to monitor and conserve its cash
during the six months ended November 30, 2008.
15
Net
cash used in investing activities was $24,131 in the first six months ended
November 30, 2008 compared to $0 in the same period ended in 2007. The increase
in 2008 was due to the investment in equipment needed for the new ImmunXT
product line.
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $195,189 during the six months ended
November 30, 2008 compared to net cash provided by financing activities in the
same period in 2007 of $291,479. During the six months ended November 30,
2008, our primary source of funding came from advances from our officer /
stockholder totaling $164,127. Issuance of common stock from a private
placement in excess of cash due on the installment note payments for the immune
booster license resulted in the six months ended November 30, 2007 having more
cash provided by financing activities than 2008. No common stock sales
occurred during the six months ended November 30, 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and
judgements underlying them, are disclosed in our fiscal 2008 Form 10-KSB in Note
1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our Consolidated
Financial Statements. There were no significant changes to our critical
accounting policies during the period ended November 30, 2008. On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The result of which form the basis for making judgements about the
carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Results may differ from these estimates due to actual
outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions.
We consider the following accounting policies to be those most
important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial
conditions:
Inventory Valuation: The Companys inventories are valued at the
lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). Reserves
for overstock and obsolescence are estimated and recorded to reduce the carrying
value to estimated net realizable value. The amount of the reserve is determined
based on projected sales information, plans for discontinued products and other
factors. Though management considers these reserves adequate and proper, changes
in sales volumes due to unexpected economic or competitive conditions are among
the factors that could materially affect the adequacy of this reserve.
Intangible Asset: Intangible asset, entirely comprised of the
ImmunXT license, is recorded at cost and is presented net of amortization.
Amortization is computed over the estimated sales volume that is anticipated
over the remaining term of the licensed agreement to properly match revenue and
expenses.
Income
Taxes: We account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes as clarified by FIN 48. In the preparation of the Companys
consolidated financial statements, management calculates income taxes. This
includes estimating the Companys current tax liability as well as assessing
temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and
book accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and
liabilities, which are recorded on the balance sheet. These assets and
liabilities are analyzed regularly and management assesses the likelihood that
deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. The valuation
allowance for deferred income tax benefits is determined based upon the
expectation of whether the benefits are more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has
16
recorded a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets
due to the significance of its continued operating losses.
FIN
No. 48 requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax
position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more
likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions
meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the
financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty
percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant
tax authority.
Revenue
Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is
complete, evidenced by persuasive evidence of an agreement, delivery has
occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured. The earning process completion is
evidenced through the shipment of goods, as the sales terms of our products are
FOB shipping point, the risk of loss is transferred upon shipment and there are
no significant obligations subsequent to that point. There are no significant
estimates related to revenue recognition.
Recently Isssued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3,
Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset
is Not Active (FSP FAS 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in
a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key
considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the
market for that financial asset is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was
effective upon issuance. Its adoption did not have a material effect on
the Companys financial statements.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
17
ITEM
3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our
financial instruments consist mostly of cash. Our only risk is interest
rates which is not considered significant.
The
Company does not hold foreign currency since we do not transact business in
foreign currencies, and therefore have no currency exposure. We do not enter
into futures or forward commodity contracts since we have no market risk
exposure with respect to commodity prices.
Item
4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An
evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
such term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Accounting Officer and other
management personnel.
Based
on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Accounting Officer has
concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due
to a lack of segregation of duties in our accounting and financial functions,
including our lack of financial expertise relating to our financial reporting
and our quarterly close process. See our Form 10-KSB for additional information
on this matter. Due to our lack of sufficient capital, management has concluded
that with certain oversight controls that are in place, the risks associated
with the lack of segregation of duties and lack of internal financial expertise
are not sufficient to justify the costs of potential benefits to be gained by
adding additional employees at this time. Management intends to periodically
reevaluate this situation. If the Company secures sufficient capital, we
expect to examine the possibility of increasing staffing to mitigate the current
lack of segregation of duties within the accounting and financial functions.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses referred to above that
continued to exist as of November 30, 2008, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief
Accounting Officer has concluded that the financial statements included in this
Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company as required for interim
financial statements.
Changes
in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting,
during the quarter ended November 30, 2008, that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
On
December 13, 2006, a civil suit was filed in the District Court of Clark County
in and for the State of Nevada by Jurak Corporation World Wide, Inc.
(plaintiffs) and one former employee and her spouse (defendants). The suit
entails that the former employee processed credit refunds to a debit/credit card
held at their banking institution. In addition, the former employee embezzled
funds by setting up a merchant processing system and diverting the charging of
our distributors' credit cards from our merchant processor to their processor.
