Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Information included in this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s views with respect to certain future events. Forward looking statements made by penny stock issuers such as the Company are excluded from the safe harbor in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Words such as “expects,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words, and negatives thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements in this report.  These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and there can be no assurance that matters anticipated in our forward-looking statements will come to pass.

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.  Such risk and uncertainties include, without limitation, those described under Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 filed on August 16, 2012.

 

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. You are also urged to review and consider carefully the various disclosures made in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including amendments to those filings, if any. Except as may be required by applicable laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Business

 

Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company,” “we, “ “us, “ or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Krossbow Holding Corp. on September 17, 2009.  The original business plan of the Company was focused on offsetting C02 emissions through the creation and protection of forest-based carbon “sinks.” The Company has since abandoned its original business plan and restructured its business to focus on man-made diamond technology development and commercialization.

 

On July 13, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to authorize a 2-for-1 forward split of its issued and outstanding common shares, whereby every one (1) old share of common stock was to be exchanged for two new shares of the Company’s common stock, effective on August 5, 2011. As a result, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 3,200,000 prior to the forward split to 6,400,000 following the forward split.  The forward split shares are payable upon surrender of certificates to the Company’s transfer agent.  The accompanying financial statements and notes give retroactive effect to the forward split for all periods presented.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has generated very little revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.  For the period from inception, September 17, 2009, through September 30, 2012, the Company has accumulated losses of $5,187,132.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has responded to these circumstances by taking the following actions:

 

·                  Focused efforts on the construction and start-up of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in South Carolina in order to begin production and generate revenues.

·                  Ongoing solicitation of investment in the Company in the form of a private placement of common shares (and warrants to acquire common shares) to accredited investors.

·                  Responded to potential customer contacts in order to meet potential orders immediately upon production start-up.

 

In the opinion of management, these actions will be sufficient to provide the Company with the liquidity it needs to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will successfully implement these plans.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Accounting Basis

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (formerly Krossbow Holding Corp.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month interim periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the period September 17, 2009 (from inception) through September 30, 2012.  All interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year.  The balance sheet at March 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2012.

 

Development Stage Company

 

The financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of GAAP for development-stage companies.  A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there have been no significant revenues therefrom.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per share is presented under two formats: basic net loss per common share, which is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net loss per common share, which is computed using the

Table of Contents

 

weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and the weighted average dilutive potential common shares outstanding, computed using the treasury stock method. Currently, for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as the inclusion of weighted average shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following table summarizes the number of securities outstanding at each of the periods presented, which were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is on a straight line basis beginning at the time it is placed in service, based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

 

 

Years

Machinery and equipment

 

3–15

Furniture and fixtures

 

3–10

Engineering equipment

 

5–12

 

 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the asset (generally three to five years).

 

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Manufacturing equipment was placed into service beginning July 1, 2012.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. The carrying value of inventory is reviewed and adjusted based upon slow moving and obsolete items. Inventory costs include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead.  The components of inventories are as follows:

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets, such as acquired in-process research and development costs, are considered to have an indefinite useful life until such time as they are put into service at which time they will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their economic or legal useful life.  Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment.  Management reviews definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges as of September 30, 2012.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature contains three levels as follows:

 

Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

10



Table of Contents

 

Level 2— Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

 

In addition, GAAP requires the Company to disclose the fair value for financial assets on both a recurring and non-recurring basis.  On August 31, 2011, the Company issued to certain current and former stockholders of Apollo Diamond Inc. (“ADI”) that are accredited investors subscription rights valued at $11,040,000 for the purchase of ADI assets disclosed in Note 2 measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  The fair value of the ADI subscription rights was determined based on an appraisal which used the Black-Scholes model whose assumptions were considered by management to be a level 3 input. During June, 2012, the Company issued to certain current and former stockholders of Apollo Diamond Gemstone Corporation (“ADGC”) that are accredited investors subscription rights valued at $790,000 for the purchase of ADGC assets disclosed in Note 2 measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  The fair value of the ADGC subscription rights was determined using the Black-Scholes model whose assumptions were considered by management to be a level 3 input.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had 445,014 warrants outstanding with exercise prices of $0.70 per share. The warrants expire in 2016 and 2017.  The warrants were issued by the Company as compensation for consulting work, placement agent services and cash discounts on facility rent and are valued at $0.52 per warrant using the Black-Scholes model.

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets and trade accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of products has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. For our Company, this generally means that we recognize revenue when we or our fabrication vendor has shipped finished product to the customer and we have issued an invoice for that product. Our sales terms do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to any manufacturing defects on our part.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Guidance on Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  ASU 2011-08 gives entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test.  If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required.  Otherwise, further testing would not be needed.  ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2012 the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (the revised standard).  The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment.  It allows companies to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test.  The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company will adopt this new standard in 2013.

 

There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued that will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

 

NOTE 2 — ASSET PURCHASES

 

The Company purchased certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and certain intellectual property related thereto.  The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012, plus the subscription rights for certain current and former stockholders of ADI that are accredited investors to acquire approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADI Offering”).  The Company has estimated the fair value of these ADI subscription rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share to be $0.69 per right.  At the date of the transaction, the fair value of the subscription rights was $11,040,000, and this amount was credited to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the ADI subscription rights was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 0.1%, and an expected life of 1 year.

The Company completed a third-party valuation to determine the fair value of the assets acquired.  The final amounts allocated to the ADI assets acquired are based upon the results of that valuation appraisal.

 

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired certain of the assets of ADGC (the “ADGC Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADGC Offering”) with the intent that the ADI Offering be conducted substantially concurrently with the ADGC Offering (collectively, the “ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering”).  The Company intends to fund the $100,000 cash portion of the ADGC Asset Purchase concurrently with the final closing of the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering and includes it as part of accounts payable at September 30, 2012.  The ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering began in June and was substantially completed as of November 1, 2012.  The Company has estimated the fair value of such subscription rights to be $0.79 per right.  At the date of the transaction, the aggregate fair value of such subscription rights was $790,000, and this amount was credited to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of such rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 0.1%, and an expected life of 3 months.

The Company will obtain appraisals of the assets acquired and adjust the purchase price allocation no later than December 31, 2012, as necessary.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 13,000,765 shares of common stock pursuant to the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  There remained on that date a maximum of 3,999,235 shares available to be issued as part of the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  The Company is working to finish matching ADI and ADGC records with subscription documents submitted by former ADI and ADGC shareholders.

In January through March 2010, the Company issued 4,400,000 shares of common stock, post 2-for-1 forward split, at a price of $0.005 per share for total cash proceeds of $22,000.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 18,717,570 shares of common stock.  On August 5, 2011, 3,200,000 shares were issued in a 2-for-1 forward split from Krossbow Holding Corp. shareholders.  As part of a private placement, 2,517,570 shares were issued at a price of $0.70 per share for total cash proceeds, net of fees, of $1,679,064.  13,000,000 shares were issued at a market value price of $0.02 per share purchasing the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” (the “Scio name”) for a total purchase price of $260,000.  The Company purchased the Scio name from a privately-held Nevada corporation named Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (“Private Scio”).  The Company and Private Scio are entities under common control.  Accounting Standards Codification 805-50-30-5 states that when accounting for a transfer of assets between entities under common control, the entity that receives the asset shall initially measure the recognized asset at the carrying amount in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of the transfer.  As the Scio name acquired had no carrying value, the value of the shares given to purchase the Scio name were recorded as a deemed distribution so that the accounting basis of the Scio name remained at zero.  In addition, the Company issued 17 million subscription rights with an exercise price of $0.01 per share to certain current and former stockholders of ADI and ADGC as part of the ADI and ADGC asset purchases discussed in Note 2.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 3,908,000 shares at a price of $0.70 per share for total cash proceeds, net of fees, of $2,672,059.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 13,000,765 shares under the ADI and ADGC subscription rights.  There remained on that date a maximum of 3,999,235 shares available to be issued under those rights.  The Company is working to finish matching ADI and ADGC records with subscription documents submitted by hundreds of former ADI and ADGC shareholders.  As of November 6, 2012, a total of 13,722,965 shares had been issued under these rights.

 

During the three months ending September 30, 2012, Company issued 2,040,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at a strike price of $1.60 at a unit price of $0.80 for total net cash proceeds of approximately $1,624,257.  The Company had 43,592,585 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2012.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had 445,014 warrants outstanding with exercise prices of $.70 per share.  The warrants expire in 2016 and 2017.  The warrants were issued by the Company as compensation for consulting work, placement agent services and cash discounts on facility rent and are valued at $.52 per warrant using the Black-Scholes model.

 

NOTE 6 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

On July 10, 2012, the Company granted to a non-executive employee options to purchase a total of 7,500 shares of the Company’s stock at $0.80 per share, which is equal to the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant.  1,500 of these options vested immediately and the remainder are to vest based upon specific management objectives as described for prior grants.

 

Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, management has determined that the options issued in July 2012 have a value of $0.49 per option.  Total compensation costs of $2,042 have been recognized for these options.  Future compensation cost for the options will be immediately recognized when management determines that the relevant objectives have become reasonably probable to occur.   There is no service period requirement.

 

On August 3, 2012, the Company granted to three executive officers options to purchase a total of 1,100,000 shares of the Company’s stock at $0.80 per share, which was equal to the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant.  The options will vest upon the achievement of specific management objectives including successful installation of laser capability, cumulative cashflow and cumulative revenue.

 

Management anticipates that the average term of the options will be three years.  The Company has reserved a pool of shares to be issued when the options are exercised.

 

Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, management has determined that the options issued in August 2012 have a value of $0.49 per option.  Total compensation costs of $0 have been recognized for these options as they were determined by management not to be reasonably probable to occur as of September 30, 2012.  Compensation cost for the options will be immediately recognized when management determines that the relevant objectives have become reasonably probable to occur.   There is no service period requirement.

GENERAL

 

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated on September 17, 2009 in the State of Nevada under the name Krossbow Holdings Corporation (“Krossbow”).  Krossbow’s original business plan was focused on offsetting CO2 emissions through the creation and protection of forest-based carbon “sinks.”  Krossbow planned to assess carbon resource potentials, prescribe and implement ecosystem restorations to develop those resources, and thereby generate carbon offset products.  However, we have since abandoned that original business plan and restructured our business to focus on man-made diamond technology development.  We decided to acquire existing technology and to seek to efficiently and effectively produce man-made diamond. In connection with this change in business purpose, Krossbow changed its name to Scio Diamond Technology Corporation to reflect its new business direction.

 

On August 5, 2011, Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan, both of whom now serve on the Company’s Board of Directors, acquired control of the Company through the purchase of two million (2,000,000) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock from Jason Kropp, Krossbow’s sole director and executive officer at that time, in accordance with a common stock purchase agreement among Mr. Kropp, Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan.  Concurrently with the execution of the common stock purchase agreement, Mr. Kropp resigned from all positions with Krossbow, including, but not limited to, that of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and Director.

 

On August 5, 2011, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Scio Asset Purchase Agreement”) with another privately-held Nevada corporation that also had the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” (“Private Scio”).  Under the terms of the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” and acquired other rights from Private Scio for 13,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company.  Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan were directors of Private Scio and Mr. Lancia was an officer of Private Scio, and they owned 31.5%, 31.5%, and 15.4%, respectively, of Private Scio.  Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan each acquired, directly or indirectly, 4,100,000 shares of our common

stock pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, Joseph D. Lancia, our Chief Executive Officer, acquired 2,000,000 shares pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

On August 31, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Apollo Diamond, Inc. (“ADI”) (the “ADI Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto, for which the Company paid ADI an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note to ADI with a September 1, 2012 maturity date (which promissory note had a remaining outstanding balance of $75,000 as of September 30, 2012).  In connection with the ADI Asset Purchase, the Company also agreed to provide certain current and former stockholders of ADI that are accredited investors the right to acquire up to approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADI Offering”).  Accordingly, the purchase price for the ADI assets was an aggregate of $2,000,000, in a combination of cash and a promissory note, plus the ADI subscription rights.

 

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Apollo Diamond Gemstone Corporation (“ADGC”) (the “ADGC Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADGC Offering”) with the intent that ADI Offering be conducted substantially concurrently with the ADGC Offering (collectively, the “ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering”).

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 13,000,765 shares of common stock under the ADI and ADGC subscription rights.  There remained on that date a maximum of 3,999,235 shares of common stock available to be issued under those rights.  The Company is working to finish matching ADI and ADGC records with subscription documents submitted by hundreds of former ADI and ADGC shareholders.  As of November 6, 2012, a total of 13,722,965 shares had been issued under these rights.

 

Business Overview

 

The Company’s primary mission is the development of profitable and sustainable commercial applications for its planned mass production of high quality, single-crystal diamond in a laboratory environment using its Diamond Technology and patented Mosaic production approach.  The Company intends to target both the commercial/industrial and gemstone markets and anticipates opportunities in areas including, but not limited to, cutting devices, life sciences, diamond gemstone jewelry, power switches, optoelectronics, and semi-conductors.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had begun generating limited revenue from the sale of diamond materials.   On July 24, 2012, the Company announced that it had signed a purchase order with an international supplier of precision diamond cutting tool products pursuant to which the Company is providing CVD single crystal diamond in specified wafer sizes.  The purchase order calls for near term Company sales of an estimated minimum of $1,000,000, with such sales to occur in the second and third fiscal quarters of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, and under certain circumstances and depending upon, among other things, ongoing demand as estimated by the end product manufacturer, could produce aggregate sales by the Company of up to an estimated $5,000,000 during the first 24 months of the order.

 

If the Company is able to produce high-quality, relatively low-cost diamond and diamond materials in reliable quantities, then the products mentioned above may be incorporated into existing applications and technologies and spur new technologies.  In such case, the Company expects numerous product development and licensing opportunities for the Company.  We believe that the unique physical properties of diamond combined with consistent availability made possible by our Diamond Technology and patented Mosaic production approach may lead to potential market opportunities in electronics, optics, communications, and computing.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three and Six Month Periods Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three and Six Month Periods Ended September 30, 2011

 

Our net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $1,261,676, compared to a net loss of $526,286 during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Our net loss for the six month period ended September 30, 2012 was $3,083,175, compared to a net loss of $531,407 during the six months ended September 30, 2011.  Our cumulative net loss since inception (September 17, 2009) through September 30, 2012 was $5,187,132.  Through September 30, 2012, we had generated $73,101 in revenue since inception.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, we incurred total expenses of $1,322,825, compared to total expenses of $542,464 during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  During the six-month period ended September 30, 2012, we incurred total expenses of $3,156,276, compared to total expenses of $542,464 during the six months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase in expenses is primarily due to the Company’s initiation of production activities as well as compensation expense related to option issuances.  We incurred salary and benefit expense including direct labor costs recorded in cost of goods sold of $520,406 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $1,593,719 during the six months ended September 30, 2012, which six-month amount included $1,267,749 of compensation expense related to option issuances.  We also incurred $524,291 and $749,213 in professional and consulting fees during the three and six month periods, respectively, including litigation defense costs of approximately $240,000,

compared to $507,152 in professional and consulting fees during the three months and six months ended September 30, 2011.  With the beginning of production and sales of manufactured products, we had cost of goods sold expense of $194,421 during the three month period and $212,892 for the six months ended September 30, 2012.  Since inception (September 17, 2009) through September 30, 2012, we have incurred total expenses of $5,346,290 which have generally related to the expenses mentioned above as well as other corporate overhead and marketing.

 

Depreciation expense of $151,281 and $154,757 was recorded in cost of goods sold during the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  No depreciation expense was recorded in cost of goods sold in prior periods.

 

We have generated limited revenue to offset our expenses, and so we have incurred net losses.  Our net loss per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 was ($0.04) per share, compared to a net loss per share of ($0.04) for the three months ended September 30, 2011.   The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 33,495,227 and 13,617,487, respectively, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Our net loss per share for the six-month period ended September 30, 2012 was ($0.10) per share, compared to a net loss per share of ($0.05) for the six months ended September 30, 2011.   The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 30,024,828 and 10,008,743, respectively, for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

At September 30, 2012, we had total assets of $17,154,972, compared to total assets of $14,323,173 at March 31, 2012.  This increase in assets was primarily related to the purchase of assets from ADGC.  We had cash of $1,798,470 at September 30, 2012 compared to cash of $808,516 at March 31, 2012.

 

Total liabilities at September 30, 2012 were $760,566, compared to total liabilities of $723,501 at March 31, 2012.  Total liabilities at September 30, 2012 were comprised primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Total shareholders’ equity was $16,394,406 at September 30, 2012, compared to $13,599,672 at March 31, 2012.  Shareholders’ equity increased during the period primarily due to capital raised through private placement of common stock.  Other components of the change in shareholders’ equity included the grants of incentive stock options to employees and subscription right issuance related to the ADGC asset purchase.

 

CASH FLOWS

 

Operating Activities

 

We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2012, net cash flows used in operating activities were $1,832,125 consisting primarily of a net loss of $3,083,175 offset by non-cash stock option issuance of $1,267,749, compared to net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2011 of $393,597.  Since inception (September 17, 2009) through September 30, 2012, net cash flows used in operating activities were $3,241,201.

 

Investing Activities

 

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2012, net cash flows used in investing activities were $909,081, consisting of the purchase of  and deposits on property, plant and equipment.  Net cash flows used in investing activities were $1,000,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and $2,305,601 for the period from inception (September 17, 2009) to September 30, 2012.

 

Financing Activities

 

We have financed our operations primarily through advancements or the issuance of equity or debt securities.  For the six-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, we generated $3,731,160 and $1,938,064, respectively, from financing activities. For the period from inception (September 17, 2009) to September 30, 2012, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $7,345,272, consisting primarily of the sale of common stock for $8,252,782 offset by payments on notes payable of $1,175,000.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds, revenue from sales and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.

 

18



Table of Contents

 

Existing cash and revenues are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next two fiscal quarters through March 31, 2013. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of sales of our common stock and warrants to acquire common stock.

 

Since June 30, 2012, the Company achieved specified performance milestones that triggered the funding of $1,100,000 in net proceeds under subscription agreements that were entered into in May of 2012 with respect to the sale of units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at a strike price of $1.60 at a unit price of $0.80.  A total of 1,375,000 units were issued in connection with this performance-milestone-related funding, which represented the final commitment to acquire units under certain subscription agreements.  In addition to the foregoing, since June 30, 2012 and up to September 30, 2012, the Company has sold an additional 665,000 units for aggregate net proceeds of $623,840.

 

In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to, among other things: (i) manufacturing operations; (ii) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses through the generation of revenue and with further issuances of securities. Thereafter, we expect we may need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements.

 

Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

 

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS

 

As described above, on August 31, 2011 the Company acquired certain assets of ADI, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto, for which the Company paid ADI an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note to ADI with a September 1, 2012 maturity date (which promissory note had a remaining outstanding balance of $1,000,000 as of September 30, 2011).  In connection with the ADI Asset Purchase, the Company also agreed to provide certain current and former stockholders of ADI that are accredited investors the right to acquire up to approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share of which approximately 12,927,588 have been issued at November 6, 2012.

 

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of ADGC, consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share of which approximately 795,377 have been issued at November 6, 2012.

 

The ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering began in June and have been substantially completed except for ongoing efforts relating to matching of ADI and ADGC records and subscription documents submitted to the Company.

 

The Company understands that most of the outstanding shares of ADI and ADGC were redeemed prior to and in anticipation of the Company’s purchase of assets from ADI and ADGC.  Mr. Adams and his spouse owned approximately 2% of the common stock of ADI and 11% of the common stock of ADGC (prior to the stock repurchases by such companies in 2011).  Neither Mr. Adams nor his spouse  participated in the ADI Offering or the ADGC Offering.  Mr. Monahan held no stock of ADI and approximately 4% of the stock of ADGC (prior to the stock repurchases by ADGC in 2011).  Mr. Monahan did not participate in the ADI Offering or the ADGC Offering.  Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan and their law firm have provided legal services to each of ADI, ADGC and the Company.  Robert C. Linares, the Chairman of the Board of each of ADI and ADGC, who is also the largest stockholder of each of ADI and ADGC, is the father-in-law of Mr. Adams.  Mr. R. Linares purchased 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company as a former ADI stockholder in connection with the ADI Offering and ADGC Offering.  Bryant R. Linares, a former executive officer of both ADI and ADGC, and the second largest stockholder previously of both ADI and ADGC, purchased 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as a former ADI stockholder in connection with the ADI Offering.  Mr. B. Linares is the brother-in-law of Mr. Adams.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report,  we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

We have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We describe our significant accounting policies in the notes to our audited financial statements filed with our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

 

19



Table of Contents

 

Some of the accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgment and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates and could materially affect the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

 

The following is a summary of the more judgmental estimates and complex accounting principles, which represent our critical accounting policies.

 

Development Stage Company

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies.  A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there have been no significant revenues therefrom.

 

Asset Purchases

 

The Company purchased certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto.  The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012, plus the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADI to acquire up to approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share.  The Company has estimated the fair value of these subscription rights to be $0.69 per right, for a total of $11,040,000 for these rights.

 

The following table reflects our preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets:

Total

 

$

13,040,000

 

 

The Company completed a third-party valuation to determine the fair value of the assets acquired.  The final amounts allocated to the assets acquired are based upon the results of that valuation appraisal.

 

We believe that the acquisition of these assets from ADI was not the acquisition of a “business” within the definition set forth in GAAP or Rule 11-01(d).

 

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of ADGC, consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share  with the intent that ADI Offering be conducted substantially concurrently with the ADGC Offering.  The ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering began in June and have been substantially completed except for ongoing efforts relating to matching of ADI and ADGC records and subscription documents submitted to the Company.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company had issued 13,000,765 shares of common stock pursuant to the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  There remained on that date a maximum of 3,999,235 shares available to be issued as part of the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  As of November 6, 2012, a maximum of  3,277,035 shares remained available to be issued.

The Company will obtain appraisals of the assets acquired and adjust the purchase price allocation no later than December 31, 2012, as necessary.

 

We believe that the acquisition of these assets from ADGC was not the acquisitions of a “business” within the definition set forth in GAAP or Rule 11-01(d).

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is on a straight line basis beginning at the time it is placed in service, based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

 

Years

Machinery and equipment

3–15

Furniture and fixtures

3–10

Engineering equipment

5–12

 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the asset (generally three to five years).

 

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Manufacturing equipment was placed into service beginning July 1, 2012.

 

After initial recognition, tangible assets acquired that are used in commercialization activities are accounted for in accordance with their nature.  FASB ASC 360 requires that these assets be classified as indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated commercialization efforts, at which time the asset would be considered to be placed in service and the entity would determine the assets’ appropriate useful lives.  In consideration thereof, we believe that the useful life of the reactors (the primary tangible assets) is indefinite until such time as the production and effective commercialization of the production of the reactors (lab-grown diamond) occurs or is more definite. The mechanical components of the reactors have relatively long lives, upwards of ten (10) years, but the capacity limitations of the reactors may render them obsolete from an efficiency perspective as technology in the industry continues to evolve. We, therefore, plan to reassess or redetermine the useful lives of such assets on an annual basis. The lives of the remainder of the tangible assets will be considered based on their technological and functional obsolescence and depreciated accordingly once they are placed in service.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Regarding intangible assets including the patents, the Company believes that, due to the inability to identify unique, specific commercialization potential with any degree of certainty, it is appropriate to consider the entire portfolio “In-Process Research and Development,” or “IPRD.”  The Company believes that the IPRD has alternative future uses.  At such time that production begins and commercialization of separate components of the intellectual property portfolio are then marketed to varying distribution channels, segmentation  and bifurcation of the IPRD asset to finite-lived commercialized intellectual property assets will be considered.  Applicable accounting guidance requires an indefinite life for IPRD assets until such time as the commercialization can be reasonably estimated at which time the assets will be available for their intended use.  At such time as those requirements are met, we believe that consideration of the legal life of the intellectual property protection should be of considerable importance in determining the useful life.  Upon commercialization and determination of the useful life of the intellectual property assets, consideration will be given to the eventual expiration of the intellectual property rights underlying certain critical aspects of our manufacturing process.

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4.                                                CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  As of September 30, 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  We applied our judgment in the process of reviewing these controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding our control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2012.

 

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

In connection with the evaluation described above and prior evaluations, the current management team identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012, in the following areas:

 

21



Table of Contents

 

·                  Lack of complete written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.

·                  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, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and functioning of required internal controls and procedures.

·                  Insufficient communication processes in connection with period end financial disclosure and reporting.

·                  Due to our small size, limited segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting and other accounting processes and procedures.

 

During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above.  We have taken steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting, and we plan to take additional steps during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

 

In March of 2012, current management changed the Company’s outside counsel in an effort to improve the disclosure advice available to it.  To further remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2013:

 

·                  Adding one or more independent directors and establishing an audit committee.

·                  Refining our internal procedures, including our communication and data gathering processes in connection with period end financial disclosure and reporting.

During the quarter ending September 30, 2012, Company issued 2,040,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at a strike price of $1.60 at unit price of $0.80 for total cash proceeds, net of fees, of $1,623,840.  The warrants are immediately exercisable and will automatically expire on the third anniversary of the issue date, as defined in the warrants.  The number of shares of common stock of the Company for which, and the price per share at which, a warrant is exercisable are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including, without limitation, a stock dividend, stock split, or a merger of the Company, as provided in the warrant.  The transfer of the warrant and the shares issued upon exercise of the warrant are subject to the transfer restrictions applicable to restricted securities, and the transfer of the warrants is further subject to a one-year restriction on the transfer of any warrant.

 

The offering and sale of the units has been conducted in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided for by Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).  No form of general solicitation or general advertising was used by the Company, or any representative of the Company, in connection with the offer or sale of the units.  Each of the investors was an accredited investor.  The units, consisting of the shares and the warrants, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirement.  The warrants and the shares of Company common stock sold in the offering are restricted securities, have been appropriately legended as such, and cannot be transferred unless they have been registered, or there is an exemption from registration, under applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

In June of 2012, the Company began conducting the ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering, pursuant to which certain current and former stockholders of ADI and ADGC that are accredited investors have the opportunity to acquire up to an aggregate of approximately 17 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share.  The ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering began in June and have been substantially completed except for ongoing efforts relating to matching of ADI and ADGC records and subscription documents submitted to the Company.The offering and sale of the Company common stock pursuant to the ADI Offering
