Each share of Preferred Stock cancelled was convertible into 125 shares of the Company's common stock thus the cancellation of the Vinfluence Agreements results in significantly less dilution than if the Preferred Stock had been converted. As part of the Global Agreement, the Company will issue Vinfluence an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

On April 12, 2013 and in connection with the Global Agreement, the Company also entered into distribution agreement (the "New Distribution Agreement") with White Charger Limited, a New Zealand company whereby White Charger has the right to distribute the Company's products in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Burma, New Caledonia, Kiribati, the Marshal Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Pitcairn, Henderson, Mauritius and Ocneo. This is a much narrower territory than the original licensing agreement and does not include China, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Japan. It also does not include any option for Europe. No intellectual property of the Company is transferred to White Charger. The New Distribution Agreement requires White Charger to purchase at least $500,000 of the Company's products during the first 24 months of which $175,000 must be purchased during the first 12 months of the New Distribution Agreement. To date there have been no purchases of the Company’s products. The Initial Term of the New Distribution Agreement is for five (5) years and can be extended for an additional five years if White Charger purchases at least $3,000,000 of product during the Initial Term. The New Distribution Agreement also contains a non-competition agreement on behalf of White Charger.
 
On February 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Asher Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Holder”) for the sale and issuance of an 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $42,500 (the “Note”). The Purchase Agreement became effective on March 4, 2013 when the transaction closed.  The principal balance of the Note is convertible into common stock, $0.00001 par value, of the Company, at the election of the Holder, beginning 180 days after the issuance of the Note. The conversion price of the Note shall be equal to 58% multiplied by the market price (as defined in the Note). The Note matures on November 27, 2013. The Company has the right to prepay the principal and interest at a premium depending on the date that it is prepaid. Interest on the Note accrues at a rate of 8% per annum. The Note contains customary default provisions, including provisions for potential acceleration of the Note, a default premium, and default interest of 22%.

On December 12, 2012, BioNeutral Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a promissory note (the “JMJ Note”) in the principal amount of $250,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”), of which $160,000 has been received in various intervals through the date of this report. The maturity date is one year from the date of each payment. JMJ Note is interest free if repaid within 90 days and if not paid within 90 days it bears interest at 10%. The principal and any accrued interest are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the lower of $.09 per share of 70% of the lowest trade price in the 25 days prior to conversion. JMJ has piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares into which the JMJ Note is convertible.  During the year ended October 31, 2013 the Company received six notices of conversion from JMJ, and pursuant to those notices issued an aggregate of 41,000,000 shares of common stock to settle loan proceeds in the collective amount of $53,041.
 
Business Overview

We are a life science specialty technology corporation focused on commercializing two classes of product formulations: (1) anti­microbials, which are formulations designed to kill certain harmful microscopic living organisms, and (2) bioneutralizers, which are formulations designed to destroy certain agents that are noxious and harmful to health and/or the environment.

In February 2011, the Company received approval and registration from the EPA in response to the Company's regulatory application for its Ygiene® 206 sterilant formulation.  To date we have received approvals for distribution of Ygiene® 206 in 32 states located primarily east of the Mississippi River.  The Company intends to apply for approval in the remaining 18 states on an as needed basis.  Our Ogiene™   product does not require federal or state approval for sale and distribution.  We are actively engaged in marketing both of our product lines by negotiating with distributors and the staging of product trials.  To date, we have not generated any meaningful product revenue.

Products

We currently are focused on the commercialization of two classes of product formulations, antimicrobials and bioneutralizers.  We refer to our anti­microbial formulations as our Ygiene™ products and our bioneutralizer formulations as our Ogiene™ products.  A description of each of these products is set forth below.

Ygiene™  
  
We have developed our Ygiene ™ products with the intent to kill certain harmful microbes, includ­ing virulent gram   positive or negative bacteria, viruses, yeast, mold, fungi, spores and/or certain bioterrorism agents, such as anthrax.  Our Ygiene ™ formulations are designed to target and bind to specific surface proteins and penetrate and alter the cellular structure of such proteins.  They are peroxy-based and, based on our internal laboratory studies, on a per unit volume basis, we believe they contain more active ingredients than any commercially available antimicrobial known to us.  In laboratory tests conducted by us,   our   Ygiene™ formulations demonstrated large zones of inhibition (areas on agar plates where growth of control organisms are prevented by antibiotics placed on agar surfaces) and high potency across a wide spectrum of harmful microbes.

We are developing our Ygiene ™ formulations for potential use in a broad range of applications, although the marketing and sale of each Ygiene ™ formulation in the United States and internationally will be subject to U.S. and foreign governmental regulations, respectively.  We believe there are three potential applications of our Ygiene ™ formulations, as set forth below:
 
 
·
Military/First Responders/Hospital Sterilant/Specialty Industrial:   We have developed Ygiene formulations for “kill on contact” applications for anthrax and other micro-organisms for use by the military, first responders, hospitals and other special industries.
 
 
7

 
 
 
·
Hospital/Health Care High-Level Disinfectant/Mold Remediation/Industrial Cleansing:   We have developed the Ygiene formulations for sterilant high-level disinfectant applications for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, E. Coli, mold and other microbes for use by hospitals and other healthcare facilities, food preparation facilities and other demanding environments, which application we refer to herein as the “Hospital and Industrial Application.”
 
 
 
 
·
Consumer Products/Light Industrial/Healthcare:   We have developed the Ygiene formulations for sporacidal, bactericidal and virucidal applications in general areas of hospitals, nursing homes and physician and dental offices.  We also are considering Ygiene formulations for use as skin sanitizers.
 
Currently, we are focusing our efforts on the commercialization of our Ygiene formulation for use as a high-level cleansing within the industries of acute and long-term health care, veterinary clinics and hospitals, food and livestock production and processing, commercial mold remediation, and travel based hospitality. Based on laboratory tests conducted by us, we believe that, under certain laboratory conditions, this Ygiene formulation may be as effective as chlorine bleach or caustic soda for killing certain microbes, without the high level of toxicity generally associated with chlorine bleach or caustic soda. In these laboratory tests, the Ygiene formulation inhibited the growth of over 200 microbes, including Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and E. coli.
 
Before we may market and sell any of our Ygiene formulations in the United States, the Ygiene formulation, regardless of their intended applications, must be registered with respect to each disinfectant claim for such formulation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA. Similarly, before we may market and sell any Ygiene formulation in any foreign country, the Ygiene formulation must be registered with the appropriate agencies of such foreign country. Our Ygiene formulation that we intend to market for the Hospital and Industrial Application has been registered with the EPA with respect to its disinfectant claims for marketing and sale in the United States and subsequently approved for sale and distribution 32 states in the US. It has also been registered for marketing and sale in Germany.
 
Ogiene™
 
Our Ogiene™ products are designed to potentially eliminate or reduce odors of many chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde and ammonia, and to reduce certain green­house gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Our Ogiene™ formulations are designed to interact with the functional organic or inorganic groups of harmful gases and reduce or eliminate them. Our Ogiene™ products will be offered in the gas phase – being applied as a fog, mist or spray – or in the liquid phase – being applied directly to liquid contaminates. Based on laboratory studies conducted by us, we believe that Ogiene™ is free of unreasonable adverse impacts to health or the environment and that no or minimal clean up is required after application of our Ogiene™ products. We plan to market our Ogiene™ products for hotels, restaurants, industrial manufacturing, controlled animal feeding operations (“CAFOs”), and homes.
 
In laboratory tests conducted by us, our Ogiene™ formulations have demonstrated an ability to destroy a variety of agents that are noxious and harmful to health and/or the environment, particulates and their associated odors. Specifically, in these tests, our Ogiene™ formulations demonstrated an ability to neutralize hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde and ammonia that are known contributors to foul odors and/or greenhouse gases. We also are seeking to demonstrate that our Ogiene™ formulations may be used to effectively neutralize certain poisonous gases and to remove industrial pollution and environmental contaminants.
 
We believe our Ogiene™ formulations provide fast delivery capabilities of active ingredients and can eliminate or reduce a broad range of gases. We believe this is important since household, institutional and industrial odors and irritating gases can be the result of either a single odoriferous compound or the result of a multiplicity of odoriferous compounds or components. These odor causing components include various organic carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, amines, mercaptans, sulfides, disulfides and esters. In addition, various inorganic compounds such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide may add to the complexity of specific odors. Laboratory tests conducted by us have demonstrated that in certain laboratory conditions our Ogiene™ formulations can reduce or eliminate the following:
 
 
·
formaldehyde;
     
 
·
ammonia and carbon dioxide;
 
 
8

 
 
 
·
sulfur dioxide/ nitrogen oxide (greenhouse gases); and
     
 
·
cigar smoke
 
In general, our Ygiene™ and Ogiene™ formulations have shown the following capabilities in laboratory tests conducted by us:
 
 
·
Our formulations have killed spores, bacteria and viruses at room temperature.
     
 
·
We can manipulate our products, depending upon the needs of customers, to address requirements that can vary as follows:
 
 
 
 
the kill time from minutes to seconds;
         
 
 
 
the breadth of kill; and
         
     
the class of target organisms.
         
 
 
·
Our formulations are stable, non corrosive, nonflammable and water soluble.
         
 
 
·
Our formulations can be applied as a liquid, wet wipe, spray, mist/fog or foam/froth and can be applied to air, surface and water.
 
Our Customers

To date, we have not had any significant sales of any of our current products. We plan to market and sell our products for high level cleaning, sanitizing and odor elimination to consumers, acute and long term health care facilities, veterinary clinics and hospitals, livestock production and processing facilities, food processing and packaging, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical processing, biotechnical clean rooms, commercial mold remediation, hospitality and lodging, first responders, waste-water treatment, power generation and military chemical firms in the United States and overseas.
 
We are targeting to sell our products into the healthcare and life sciences markets, and also into industrial markets. Within healthcare and life sciences, most of our customer’s perform trial testing of our products prior to purchasing which can significantly lengthen the selling cycle. To date our marketing efforts have led to over 100 trials of our products of which 70 are active at the current time. Our products have been ordered within the segments of university laboratory medical research, pharmaceutical manufacturing and veterinarian care,. These trials have led to the addition of 20 new customers of our products. The 70 active trials currently in process are pending results for placement of orders.
 
For calendar 2014 we are also targeting industrial market segments of mold remediation and industrial odor control. Within the industrial marketplace our products are trial tested as well prior to purchasing thereby lengthening the selling cycle in most cases. We signed two independent selling groups to represent our products. Collectively through the independent selling groups we have approximately 35 representatives throughout the United States marketing our products. In addition, we established a relationship with an Ohio based distributor of medical products.
 
Marketing
 
We have assembled a small but experienced business team composed of individuals we believe to be highly capable to market, license, sell and distribute our products in the United States. Primarily we intend to sell our products directly to the end user and through distribution channels. However we will consider private label and licensing arrangements as a means of leveraging the technology base as well. As our products attract and gain wider acceptance in the US marketplace, we intend to develop an international sales presence in the future. Potential customers include hotels, restaurants and hospitals and those engaged in the military, power generation, mold remediation, surgical equipment sterilization and waste­­-water treatment industries.

Competition

The markets for our Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ products are highly competitive.  We have a number of competitors that vary in size and scope and breadth of products offered.  Such competitors include some of the largest corporations in the world, and we believe substantially all of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do, including in the areas of sales, marketing, and branding and product development.  We expect to face additional competition from other competitors in the future.
 
Current competitors include Clorox and other products including Formula 409 from The Clorox Company, Lysol and other cleaning products from Reckitt Benckiser, and laundry products including Tide and Downy from Procter & Gamble.  Companies offering competitive industrial cleaning and sanitizing products include such companies as Ecolab, Inc., Steris Corporation and SC Johnson.  Although these large competitors have significant market share in the disinfectant and cleaning product markets, product comparison tests that were either supported or conducted by BioNeutral indicate the superiority of BioNeutral products as effective antimicrobials, disinfectants, surface cleaners, laundry cleaners, stain removers, and odor neutralizers.

Since Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ are new formulations enhanced from our initial base formulas, our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to achieve market share at the expense of existing, established and future products developed by our competitors in our relevant target markets.  Even if our Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ formulations have technological competitive advantages over competing products, we or potential distributors, will need to invest significant resources in order to attempt to displace traditional technologies sold by what are in many cases well-known international industry leaders.  Alternatively, we may pursue strategies in selective markets of encouraging existing competitors to incorporate our products into their existing brands, thereby reducing the proportion of end-use revenues that would accrue to us.  To the extent that we were to grant any existing competitor exclusivity to any field and/or territory, we would risk having our technology marketed in a manner that may be less than optimal for us.  We recognize that innovative marketing methods may be required in order to establish our products, and that such methods may not be successful.
 
Intellectual Properties

Our intellectual property includes patent applications for our formulations and our manufacturing processes, and applications to register the trademarks BioNeutral™, AutoNeutral™, Ogiene™,  Ygiene™,and the tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT™.

Intellectual Property

We believe our patent claims are unique within our chemical composition space.  We believe prior lab and field tests completed by us have verified approximately 80 potential applications.  As we continue to utilize our technology platform and complement our product offerings, we plan to protect our technology and products by filing appropriate patent applications covering such technology.

We currently have three pending utility patent applications filed with the United States Patent & Trademark Office, or the USPTO, directed to compositions of matter of our formulations, our manufacturing process and a number of applications.  In addition, we have pending patent applications in Japan, Europe, Mexico, China, and New Zealand.   We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to obtain or maintain any Intellectual Property for our formulations.  See “Item 1A.  Risk Factors - If we are unable to obtain, maintain or defend patent and other intellectual property ownership rights relating to our technology, we may not be able to develop and market products based on our technology, which would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and the price of our common stock.”

Trademarks

In April 2005, the Company filed in the US Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) an application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™, Ogiene® and Ygiene®, based on its intent to use each of these marks in commerce.  In April 2006, the USPTO issued notices of allowance signifying that each of these trademarks was entitled to registration after timely submission of statements of use, including evidence that such trademarks have been properly used in commerce.  From June through November of 2008, however, the Company’s applications for each of these trademarks were declared abandoned by the USPTO, since the Company inadvertently failed to timely file the appropriate statements of use with respect to each trademark within the six-month period from the date the USPTO issued the respective notices of allowance.  In July 2009, the Company again submitted applications for each of these trademarks as well as the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT®; however, the Company learned that PURE Bioscience, a company focused on the development and commercialization of bioscience products, had filed application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™ and Ygiene® prior to the Company’s resubmission of its applications.  Subsequently in 2011, the Company received trademark registration from the USPTO for Ygiene®, Ogiene® and the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT®. The Company intends to pursue with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board an opposition to PURE Bioscience's application with respect to BioNeutral™. The Company cannot assure you that it will be successful with such opposition on a timely basis, if at all.  In May 2011, the Company received notice that PURE Bioscience filed a petition with the USPTO for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene® registration.  On November 14, 2013 the USPTO issued an order for dismissal of PURE Bioscience’s petition to for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene® registration.

We have entered into confidentiality agreements with certain third parties in an attempt to protect our trade secrets, including the processes, concepts, ideas and documentation associated with our technologies. We have entered into such agreements with our directors, officers and employees.  Accordingly, we may not have sufficient protections for our technology and our competitors could acquire and use information that we consider to be our trade secrets and we may not be able to compete effectively. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, technical and manufacturing resources than we have and we may not be profitable if our competitors are also able to take advantage of our trade secrets.

Research and Development

We conduct our primary research and development activities in-house, and use third-party laboratories to conduct independent testing.  Research and development expenditures were approximately $213,423 and $237,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  No amounts incurred for Research and Development were borne directly by customers.

Manufacturing

We currently have limited manufacturing capabilities.   We have engaged a contract manufacturer to (1) to produce finished products, which can be resold to our distributors/customers in the United States; and (2) to manufacturer the component which may be sold to a customer who may manufacture the finished products for mass distribution using the customer’s brand name.  In the event we begin to distribute our products outside of the United States, we intend to arrange production with a strategically located contract manufacturer.
 
The active and inactive ingredients in our concentrated and ready-to-use products are readily available from multiple chemical supply companies.

Governmental Regulation
 
The marketing and sale in the United States and foreign countries of some of our current products and the products we may develop in the future are and may be subject to U.S. and foreign governmental regulations, respectively, which regulations vary substantially from country to country. The time required in obtaining registration, clearance or approval by the United States or any foreign country may cannot be determined with certainty, and each jurisdiction may have varying requirements may be different. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining or maintaining necessary registrations, clearances or approvals to market any of our current or future products in the United States or certain foreign countries.
 
 
11

 
 
Some of our current or future products are or may be subject to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, or FIFRA.  The objective of FIFRA is to provide federal control of pesticide distribution, sale, and use. All pesticides used in the United States must be registered with or licensed by the EPA.  Registration assures that pesticides will be properly labeled and that, if used in accordance with specifications, they will not cause unreasonable harm to the environment.  Use of each registered pesticide must be consistent with use directions contained on the label or labeling.  Each application for registration of a pesticide product with the EPA must include the results of laboratory testing conducted in accordance with the EPA's Good Laboratory Practice Standards (GLP), which standards are designed to ensure the quality and integrity of test data submitted to the EPA in support of a pesticide product registration. These laboratory tests generally are conducted to demonstrate the efficacy, toxicity and certain physical characteristics of the pesticide product.  When the GLP testing for a pesticide product is complete, an application demonstrating that the product candidate does not have unreasonable adverse impacts on health or the environment and that is effective for its intended use must be submitted to the EPA for its consideration.  The registration application must include the proposed product label and claims to be made for the product and explain permissible uses and required conditions for use; it must include data to support registration relating to product and residue chemistry, toxicology, environmental fate, eco-toxicology, exposure data, and for public health pesticides such as antimicrobials, efficacy data consistent with EPA’s data requirement standards.  The EPA reviews, evaluates, and analyzes the required data over a period of months, ranging from 6-8 months upwards to 20 or more, depending on the complexity of the product and its usage, whether its active ingredient has been registered previously and other factors.  A cost-benefit analysis of the scientific data based on environmental, societal and economic variables is used by the EPA to determine the acceptable uses and conditions for use of the pesticide.  The standard of analysis requires that the pesticide and its acceptable uses not cause harm to human health with reasonable certainty or pose unreasonable risks to the environment.  During its review, the agency may request that studies need to be repeated, or additional studies may need to be conducted and new data submitted.  The EPA staff evaluates risk assessment results and makes a decision based on risks versus benefits in light of the proposed use of the product.  The EPA also may require changes in proposed labeling, uses, and application methods to mitigate risks to human health or the environment.  For a new product with a new active ingredient that has low risk, the estimated time for the EPA to complete review of a registration submission is approximately 15 months.  See “Item 1A.  Risk Factors - We may not obtain the necessary U.S. or worldwide regulatory registrations, clearances or approvals to commercialize our products, and if we cannot commercialize our products, we will not become profitable.”

Our current or future products also are or may be subject to the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, or TSCA.  TSCA provides the EPA with authority to require reporting, record-keeping and testing requirements, and restrictions relating to chemical substances and/or mixtures.  Certain substances are generally excluded from TSCA, including, among others, food, drugs, cosmetics and pesticides. TSCA addresses the production, importation, use, and disposal of specific chemicals including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos, radon and lead-based paint.  If we determine that our products contain or constitute any “new chemical substances,” we are required to file a premanufacture notice (PMN) with the EPA 90 days before the start of production, and must include information about the chemical identity of the substance, byproducts, production volume, and descriptions of uses, human exposure and disposal practices, and any relevant test data.  The EPA will at the end of the 90 day period issue a regulatory decision dropping the substance from any further review or, if not, specifying the need for additional review or other action, including any regulatory constraints upon production.

The marketing and sale of any of our current or future product in the United States for use on or in the human body also will require pre-clearance by the FDA. We understand that the FDA pre-clearance process typically takes from approximately 15 to 19 months, depending upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidate.

We also are subject to regulation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, with respect to our environmental marketing claims.  Products advertised as eco-friendly and “green” cleaning products must conform to the FTC's Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims.  In the event the FTC were to determine that any of our products are not in compliance with such guides, the FTC could bring enforcement actions on the basis that our marketing claims are false or misleading, which if successful, could subject us to fines or other penalties which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. 
 
Our Ygiene™ formulations are considered pesticides under FIFRA and require registration with the EPA and approval of each proposed disinfectant claim to be made.  We have obtained EPA registration of our Ygiene™ formulation for disinfectant claims with respect to the Hospital and Industrial Application.  
 
Our Ygiene™ professional disinfectant product and multipurpose cleaner and disinfectant product were registered with the German Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin, a German government sanctioned institute for safety and health, on January 5, 2010 and November 30, 2009, respectively.  As a result of such registrations, we are permitted to sell such Ygiene™-based products in Germany.   We have not sold any of our products in Germany and currently do not have adequate resources to attempt to make any such sales or to have our products manufactured for sale.
 
 
12

 
 
Our Ogiene™ formulations, which do not rely upon antibiotic or pesticide activity, are not regulated under FIFRA.   All of the active ingredients of our Ogiene™ formulations are already on the Chemical Substance Inventory maintained by the EPA under TSCA and therefore are not subject to additional requirements under TSCA.
 
If we intend to market and sell any of our formulations as a skin sanitizer, to sterilize medical equipment or otherwise for use on or in the human body, we will need to obtain pre-clearance from the FDA. We have not submitted any of our formulations for clearance by the FDA and do not anticipate seeking FDA clearance for any of our formulations unless and until the requisite EPA registration for such formulation is obtained. If we were to seek FDA clearance for any of our formulations, we anticipate that the total cost to us for each pre-clearance would be approximately $400,000.

Employees
 
As of January 20, 2014, we had three full-time employees. We have part-time consultants devoting time to us.  None of our employees are represented by union or collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relationships with our employees are good.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
We have not generated significant product revenues to date and will need to raise additional funds in the near future.  If we are unable to obtain the funds necessary to continue our operations, we will be required to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of our product development activities and may not continue as a going concern.
 
We have not generated significant product revenues to date. We incurred net losses of approximately $3,191 million, after consideration of $269,303 attributable to the Non-Controlling interest's share of the net loss, for the year ended October 31, 2013.  For the year ended October 31, 2012, we had net losses of approximately $2,386 million, after consideration of $219,981 attributable to the Non-Controlling interest's share of the net loss, for the year ended October 31, 2012.  We have concluded that our net losses, negative cash flows and accumulated deficit as of October 31, 2013 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

For the current 2014 fiscal year, we will have to raise substantial additional funds or take other measures within the current fiscal year in order to continue our operations.  Our future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:
 
 
·
the results of studies relating to the efficacy and impacts on health and the environment of our products;
     
 
·
the scope and results of our research and development efforts;
     
 
·
the time required to obtain regulatory registrations, clearances or approvals;
     
 
·
our ability to establish and maintain marketing alliances and collaborative agreements; and
     
 
·
the cost of our internal marketing activities.
 
 
13

 
 
Our ability to accurately project revenues and expenses can be significantly impacted by unforeseen events, developments and contingencies that cannot be anticipated.  As such, there can be no assurance that our plans to raise additional financing will be successful or sufficient in order to sustain our operations over the next year.

It is difficult for companies like ours to raise funds in the current economic environment and additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we will be required to delay, scale back or eliminate our product development activities or operations or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products that we would not otherwise relinquish.

We are delinquent in our tax filings.

We failed to file federal tax returns for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and the ten months ended October 31, 2008 and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, and they are open for review by the various tax jurisdictions. The state jurisdiction the Company is required to file in is New Jersey, and we failed to file any New Jersey state tax returns. We cannot assure you that we will not incur fines and penalties for failure to file such tax returns, although we have not received any notices of fines or penalties to date.

We are the subject of an ongoing investigation by the SEC that could have a material adverse impact on our business.

As described under “Item 3.  Legal Proceedings”, on October 1, 2009, the SEC issued a formal order of investigation to us regarding possible securities laws violations by us and other persons. The investigation concerns the process by which we became a publicly traded entity, trading in our shares, and disclosure and promotion of developments in our business. The SEC requested that we deliver certain documents to the SEC which we provided.  We have incurred, and may continue to incur costs, some of which may be significant, in responding to such investigation.  Any adverse findings by the SEC in connection with such investigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, including our ability to continue to operate as a publicly traded company.
 
Some of our directors and executive officers may not have experience in public company matters, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
 
Some of our directors and executive officers have almost no public company management experience.  This could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable federal securities laws including filing required reports and other information required on a timely basis.  There can be no assurance that our management will be able to implement and affect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements imposed by such laws and regulations.  Our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties, affect our ability to operate as a publicly traded company and further result in the deterioration of our business.
 
A non-controlling interest in our subsidiary BioNeutral Laboratories exists.

We currently hold approximately 92% of the outstanding interests in our subsidiary, BioNeutral Laboratories.  We did not receive consents to the Share Exchange from all common and preferred shareholders of BioNeutral Laboratories, and we have accounted for those shareholders who did not sign consents as holders of the remaining 8.44% outstanding interests in BioNeutral Laboratories as not have received shares in BioNeutral.  As described in “Item I Business -- Company Overview” the Share Exchange Consents did not specify the number of shares of BioNeutral Laboratories common stock to be exchanged by the Consenting Shareholder and did not affirmatively make the representation and warranties to be made by our stockholders as set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement.  In light of such omissions, there can be no assurances that a shareholder will not challenge the validity of its consent and request a rescission offer in respect of shares of common stock issued to such person. There can also be no assurances that in light of the content of such Share Exchange Consent, we had a basis for a valid private placement of our common stock issued in the Share Exchange and that we will not be requested to conduct a rescission offer.

In addition, we believe that the shareholders who consented to the Share Exchange and were issued shares of our common stock failed to deliver to us the stock certificates representing their shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock of BioNeutral Laboratories and may claim they also have an ownership interest in BioNeutral Laboratories.  Although we would challenge any such claims, we cannot assure you that we would prevail, in which case our percentage ownership interest in BioNeutral Laboratories would decrease.  In addition, any litigation with respect to such claims could result in substantial costs, diversion of management's attention and diversion of our resources.  The size and uncertainty with respect to the Non-Controlling interest in BioNeutral Laboratories may make it difficult for us to raise capital, and even if we were to raise capital, would result in dilution to our stockholders at the public company level that is not experienced by stockholders that are part of the Non-Controlling interest, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

We have a limited operating history on which to evaluate our potential for future success and to determine whether we will be able to execute our business plan.  This makes it difficult to evaluate future prospects and the risk of success or failure of our business.

Although we are commencing the marketing and sale of our bioneutralizer, odor controllers and antimicrobial applications, we have generated no significant revenues to date. Consequently, our historical results of operations may not give you an accurate indication of our future results of operations or prospects. You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market. These risks include: 
 
 
·
our ability to obtain further regulatory registration, clearance or approval of our products;
     
 
·
our ability to effectively and efficiently market and distribute our products through our sales force and third-party distributors;
     
 
·
the ability of manufacturers utilized by us to effectively and efficiently manufacture our products;
     
 
·
our ability to obtain market acceptance of our current products and future products that may be developed by us;
     
 
·
our ability to sell our products at competitive prices which exceed our per unit costs;
     
 
·
our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property;
     
 
·
 our ability to attract and retain key business development, technical and management personnel; and
     
 
·
our ability to effectively manage our anticipated growth.
 
We may not be able to address these risks and difficulties, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues, operating results and our ability to continue to operate our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability, or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our capital and operating expense obligations.  As a result, you could lose your entire investment in our stock.

We currently are not profitable and may never become profitable, which could negatively impact the value of our common stock.
 
We have a history of losses and expect to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we succeed in developing and commercializing one or more of our products, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we:
 
 
·
continue to undertake development and laboratory testing for our product candidates;
     
 
·
seek regulatory registrations, clearances or approvals for our products;
     
 
·
implement additional internal systems and infrastructure;
     
 
·
lease additional or alternative office facilities; and
     
 
·
hire additional personnel.
 
 
15

 
 
We also expect to experience negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.
 
We may not obtain the necessary U.S. or worldwide regulatory registrations, clearances or approvals to commercialize our products, and if we cannot commercialize our products, we will not become profitable.
 
We will need to register as pesticides with the EPA certain of our products we intend to commercialize in the U.S. and to obtain similar registrations from the EPA equivalent regulatory authorities in foreign jurisdictions to commercialize our product candidates in those jurisdictions.  We also may need to obtain FDA clearance to commercialize any of our products we intend to market for human application.

Some of our current or future products are or may be subject to FIFRA. In order to market or sell any of our formulations that constitute pesticides, including our Ygiene ™ formulation, such formulations must be registered or licensed by the EPA. Each application for registration of a pesticide product by the EPA must include the results of laboratory testing conducted, which tests must be conducted in accordance with GLP to ensure the quality and integrity of test data submitted to the EPA in support of a pesticide product registration. If and when the GLP testing for a pesticide product is complete, we will need to submit to the EPA an application demonstrating that the product candidate is effective for its intended use and when used in accordance with recognized practice, will not cause “unreasonable adverse effects” to humans or the environment. Satisfaction of the EPA’s regulatory requirements typically requires from nine to over twenty months to complete, depending upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product and requires substantial resources for research, development and testing. We cannot predict whether our research and testing will result in products that the EPA finds effective for indicated uses and consistent with applicable regulatory standards regarding effects on humans or the environment. Testing, preparation of necessary applications and the processing of those applications by the EPA is expensive and time consuming. We do not know if the EPA will act favorably or quickly in making such reviews, and significant difficulties or costs may be encountered by us in our efforts to obtain EPA registration. The EPA also may place conditions on registrations that could restrict commercial applications of such products. Product registrations may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur following initial marketing.
 
The EPA has substantial discretion in the registration process and may require us to conduct additional testing or to perform post-marketing studies. The registration process may also be delayed by changes in government regulation, future legislation or administrative action or changes in EPA policy that occur prior to or during our regulatory review. Delays in obtaining regulatory registrations, clearances or approvals may:
 
 
·
delay commercialization of, and our ability to derive product revenues from, our product candidates;
     
 
·
impose costly procedures on us; and
     
 
·
diminish any competitive advantages that we may otherwise have.
 
Even if we comply with all EPA requests, the EPA ultimately may reject any or all of our future applications. We cannot be sure that we will ever obtain registration of any of our antimicrobial products.  Failure to obtain EPA registration of any of our antimicrobial products will severely undermine our business by reducing our number of salable products and, therefore, corresponding product revenues.
 
In foreign jurisdictions, we must obtain similar regulatory approvals from the appropriate authorities before we can commercialize our products.  Foreign regulatory registration, clearance or approval processes generally include all of the risks associated with the EPA registration procedures described above.  We have not yet made any determination as to which foreign jurisdictions we may seek regulatory approval in and have not undertaken any steps to obtain approvals or register our products for sale in any foreign jurisdiction other than Germany.

Independent GLP tests are very expensive, time consuming and difficult to design and implement.
 
Independent GLP tests are very expensive and difficult to design and implement, in part because they are subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. The laboratory testing process is also time consuming. The GLP laboratory tests with respect to the impacts on health and the environment of our Ygiene™ formulation was completed in January 2010, with positive result for submission to the EPA. The GLP laboratory tests with respect to the efficacy and physical characteristics of the Ygiene™ formulation was completed during July 2010. On August 19, 2010, the Company submitted its application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of the Company’s Ygiene antimicrobial for approval for use as a bactericide, fungicide, sporicide on hard, non-porous surfaces in hospitals, health care facilities and other commercial uses. The Company received approval and registration for Ygiene 206 on February 28, 2011.

If other products we may develop in the future are completed as planned, we cannot be certain that their results will support our product claims. The GLP testing may fail to demonstrate that our product candidates are effective for indicated use or meet the EPA's standards with respect to the impacts on health and the environment. This failure would cause us to abandon a product formulation and may delay development of other products. Any delay in, or termination of, GLP testing will delay the filing of our applications with the EPA and, ultimately, our ability to commercialize our products and generate product revenues.
 
If our efforts to achieve and maintain market acceptance of our products are not successful, we will not attain profitability.
 
We have invested a significant portion of our time and financial resources in the development and commercialization of our Ygiene™ and Ogiene™ formulations. We expect that sales of our Ygiene™ and Ogiene™ formulations will constitute a substantial portion, or all, of any revenues in future periods.  Failure to obtain market acceptance for Ygiene™ and Ogiene™ formulations, whether as a result of competition, lack of customer demand, lack of product effectiveness and safety, or any other factor, would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if our products achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to maintain product sales or other forms of revenue over time if new products or technologies are introduced that are more favorably received or are more cost-effective than our products or otherwise render our products less attractive or obsolete. 
 
We are subject to regulation by the FTC with respect to our environmental marketing claims and any other advertising claims, and if we fail to comply with such regulation, we could become subject to fines or other penalties which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
We expect to advertise some of our products as “eco-friendly” and “green” cleaning products and must conform with the FTC's Guides for the use of Environmental Marketing Claims.  In the event the FTC were to determine that our products are not in compliance with such guides, the FTC could bring enforcement actions against us on the basis that our marketing claims are false or misleading, which if successful, could subject us to fines or other penalties which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
The specialty chemical products market is highly competitive and we may not be able to compete effectively.

Our Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ products will compete in highly competitive markets dominated by extremely large, well-financed domestically and internationally recognized chemical and pharmaceutical companies.  We believe substantially all of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do in the areas of sales, marketing, and branding and product development.  Many of our competitors also already have well established brands and distribution, and we expect to face additional competition from these competitors in the future.  Focused competition by larger chemical and pharmaceutical corporations could substantially limit or eliminate our potential market share and ability to profit from our products and technologies.

The specialty chemical products market is susceptible to rapid change, and developments by competitors with greater resources may render our products or technologies uneconomical or obsolete.  Our ability to compete will depend upon our ability to quickly develop marketable products, brand recognition and novel distribution methods, and to displace existing, established and future products in our relevant target markets.  We may not be successful in doing so and may not become profitable.

 
17

 
 
If we are not able to manage rapid growth effectively, we may not become profitable.
 
Our success will depend upon the expansion of our operations and the effective management of our growth, which will place a significant strain on our management and on our administrative, operational and financial resources.  The growth in the size and geographic range of our business will place significant demands on management and our operating systems.  Our ability to manage our growth effectively will depend on our ability to, among other things:
 
 
·
attract additional management personnel;
     
 
·
develop and improve our operating systems;
     
 
·
hire, train, and manage an employee base; and
     
 
·
maintain adequate service capacity.
 
There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively manage growth and build the infrastructure necessary to achieve our plans for growth.  If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business may suffer.
 
Our success depends on our ability to retain our key personnel and the loss of any of our key personnel may materially and adversely affect our operations and our ability to execute our growth strategy.
 
Our present and future performance will depend on the continued service of our senior management personnel. Our key employees are Mark Lowenthal, President and CEO and Dr. Andy Kielbania, our Chief Scientific Officer.   The loss of the services of these individuals could have a material and adverse effect on us, and our stock price may decline.  In addition, our ability to execute our business plan is dependent on our ability to attract and retain additional highly skilled personnel. We currently do have long-term employment agreements with our officers.  We do not maintain any key man life insurance on any of our key personnel.
 
Because competition for highly qualified business development and scientific personnel is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the employees we need to support our planned growth.
 
To successfully meet our objectives, we must attract and retain highly qualified business development and scientific personnel with specialized skill sets focused on the industries in which we compete, or intend to compete.  Competition for qualified business development and scientific personnel can be intense.  Our ability to meet our business development objectives will depend in part on our ability to recruit, train and retain top quality people with advanced skills who understand our technology and business.  In addition, it takes time for our new personnel to become productive and to learn our business.  If we are unable to hire or retain qualified business development and scientific personnel, it will be difficult for us to sell our products or to license our technology, and we may experience a shortfall in revenue and not achieve our anticipated growth.

We may become subject to product liability claims, as a result of which we could incur substantial liabilities and be required to limit commercialization of our products, which could adversely affect our business.
 
If we are able to sell any of our products for use by consumers and institutions, we may become liable for any damage caused by our products, whether used in the manner intended or not.  Any such claim of liability, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, damage our reputation and/or require us to limit the commercialization of our products.  Although we maintain general liability insurance, our insurance may not cover potential claims of the types described above and may not be adequate to indemnify for all liabilities that may be imposed.  Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could harm our business and operating results, and you may lose some or all of any investment you have made, or may make, in our common stock.

If we are unable to obtain, maintain or defend patent and other intellectual property ownership rights relating to our technology, we may not be able to develop and market products based on our technology, which would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and the price of our common stock.
 
We rely and expect in the future to rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright law, and contractual restrictions to protect the proprietary aspects of our technology and business. These legal protections afford only limited protection for our intellectual property and trade secrets.  Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our proprietary technology or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.  As a result, we cannot assure you that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate, and the infringement of such rights could have a material negative impact on our business and on our results of operations.
 
 
18

 
 
Litigation or other action may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our trade secrets.  If third parties apply to register our trademarks in the U.S. or other countries, we may oppose those applications and may be required to participate in proceedings before the regulatory agencies who determine priority of rights to such trademarks.  We currently are opposing applications for registration by a third party of our trademark BioNeutral ™; however, there can be no assurance that we will prevail with such opposition.  Such administrative proceedings and any other litigation or adverse priority proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, and could seriously harm our business and operating results.  See “Item 3.  “Legal Proceedings.”

To the extent that we operate internationally, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.  Many countries have a “first-to-file” trademark registration system.  As a result, we may be prevented from registering or using our trademarks in certain countries if third parties have previously filed applications to register or have registered the same or similar trademarks.  Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate, and our competitors, or potential competitors, could independently develop similar technology.
 
It is possible that our products infringe upon the Intellectual Property or violate the proprietary rights of others, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
In the event that products we sell are deemed to infringe upon the Intellectual Property or other proprietary rights of third parties, we could be required to modify our products or obtain a license for the manufacture and/or sale of such products and services. In such event, we cannot assure you that we would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon our business.  Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. In addition, if our products or proposed products are deemed to infringe or likely to infringe upon the Intellectual Property or proprietary rights of others, we could be subject to injunctive relief and, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could also have an adverse effect on our business.

Because we have limited experience selling, marketing or distributing products and limited internal capabilities to do so, we may not be successful in marketing our products, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We have not produced significant sales.  We are developing our marketing and distribution capabilities.  While we anticipate having the resources in the foreseeable future to allocate to the sales and marketing of our proposed products, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.  Significant capital expenditures, management resources and time will be required to establish and develop an in-house marketing and sales force with technical expertise.  There can also be no assurance that we will be able to develop in-house sales capabilities or that we will be able to market and sell our product in the United States or overseas, which would adversely affect the results of our operations.

We have no distribution capabilities and expect to rely primarily on product distribution arrangements with third parties.  We may license our technology to certain third parties for commercialization of certain applications.  We expect to enter into additional distribution agreements and licensing agreements in the future, and we may not be able to enter into these additional agreements on terms that are favorable to us, if at all.  In addition, we may have limited or no control over the distribution activities of these third parties.  These third parties could sell competing products and may devote insufficient sales efforts to our products.  As a result, our future revenues from sales of our products, if any, will depend on the success of the efforts of these third parties.
 
We expect to rely exclusively on a limited number of third parties to manufacture our products, and may be unable to distribute our products if any of our manufacturers are unable to manufacture our products in a timely manner or at all, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We have no experience in manufacturing products and do not intend to establish our own manufacturing facilities. We lack the resources and expertise to manufacture our own products. If we receive the requisite approvals to market and sell any of our products, we intend to contract with one or more manufacturers to manufacture our products. Our anticipated reliance on a limited number of third-party manufacturers exposes us to the following risks:
  
 
·
We may be unable to identify manufacturers on acceptable terms or at all because the number of potential manufacturers is limited and depending on the product formulation being manufactured may require registration, clearance or approval by the EPA or FDA. This registration, clearance or approval would require testing and compliance inspections. In addition, a new manufacturer would have to be educated in, or develop substantially equivalent processes for, production of our products after receipt of EPA or FDA registration, clearance or approval, if any.
 
 
19

 
 
 
·
Our third-party manufacturers might be unable to manufacture our products in the volume and of the quality required to meet our clinical and commercial needs, if any.
     
 
·
Our future contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business for the time required to distribute our products.
     
 
·
Pesticide manufacturers are subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspection by the EPA and in some cases, the FDA, and corresponding state agencies to ensure strict compliance with good manufacturing practice and other government regulations and corresponding foreign standards. We do not have control over third-party manufacturers’ compliance with these regulations and standards.
     
 
·
If any third-party manufacturer makes improvements in the manufacturing process for our products, we may not own, or may have to share, the intellectual property rights to the innovation.
 
We expect to rely, in part, on third parties to develop Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ -based products and they may not do so successfully or diligently.
 
We will rely, in part, on third parties to whom we license rights to our technology to develop products containing Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ for many of the applications for which we believe Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ -based products have, or may have, market opportunities.  Generally, under our contractual relationships with these third parties, we rely on the third party to fund and direct product development activities and appropriate regulatory filings.  Any of these third parties may not be able to successfully develop such Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ -based products, due to, among other factors, a lack of capital, a lack of appropriate diligence, a change in the evaluation by the third party of the market potential for Ogiene™ or Ygiene™ -based products, technical failures and poorer than expected test results resulting from trial use of any products that may be developed.

If we are unable to timely fill orders for our products, our operations could be materially adversely impacted.
 
In order for us to successfully market our products, we must be able to timely fill orders for our product line. Our ability to timely meet our supply requirements will depend on numerous factors including our ability to successfully maintain an effective distribution network and to maintain adequate inventories and the ability of any manufacturer we engage to adequately produce our products in volumes sufficient to meet demand. Our failure to adequately supply our products to retailers or of our manufacturer to adequately produce products to meet demand could materially adversely impact our operations.
 
Our failure to procure adequate supplies of raw materials could delay the commercial introduction or shipment and hinder market acceptance of our products, which could materially adversely affect our business.
 
If for any reason we are unable to obtain any of the raw materials in our products on a timely basis or at all or if the prices of such materials increase the commercial introduction and shipment of our products could be delayed or halted and the market acceptance of our products could be hindered, any or all of which could adversely affect our business.
 
Risks Related to Our Corporate Governance and Common Stock

Our stock price is, and we expect it to remain, volatile, which could limit investors’ ability to sell stock at a profit.
 
The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors some of which are beyond our control, including:
 
 
dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of common stock and other forms of equity securities in connection with future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies;
 
 
20

 
 
 
announcements of new acquisitions or other business initiatives by our competitors;
     
 
our ability to take advantage of new acquisitions or other business initiatives;
     
 
fluctuations in revenue from our products;
     
 
changes in the market for our products and/or in the capital markets generally;
     
 
changes in the demand for our products, including changes resulting from the introduction or expansion of new  products;
     
 
quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
     
 
changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;
     
 
changes in analysts’ estimates affecting our company (if any), our competitors and/or our industry;
     
 
changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our industry;
     
 
additions and departures of key personnel;
     
 
announcements of technological innovations or new products available to the our industry;
     
 
announcements by relevant governments pertaining to incentives for products utilizing our technology;
     
 
fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets; and
     
 
significant sales of our common stock, including sales by investors following registration of the shares of our common stock issued in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement and/or future investors in future offerings we expect to make to raise additional capital. 
 
These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our common stock.  In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for specialty chemical companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that may have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies.  These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

On the OTCBB, there will be a limited trading market for our common stock and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price at which you purchased your shares, or at all.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB.  Trading volume of OTCBB stocks have been historically lower and more volatile than stocks traded on an exchange.  Quoting of our stock on the OTCBB could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and less coverage of us by securities analysts, if any.  Trading on the OTCBB may also reduce the fair market value of our common stock and have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital in the public of private equity markets or to acquire other companies or technologies by using common stock as consideration.
 
Future sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
As of February 4, 2014 there were 798,178,290 shares of our common stock and 175 holders of our common stock.  Future sales of our common stock, pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or the perception that such sales could occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The shares of our common stock issued in connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange which is a large number of shares relative to the trading volume of our common stock, may be eligible for resale under Rule 144 following the date on which we file this Annual Report so long as the applicable conditions contained in Rule 144(i) are satisfied. The market price of our common stock could fall if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
 
Since our common stock is classified as a “penny stock,” our common stock will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

We are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the SEC that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks.  These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
 
Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us.  It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future.  This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
 
 
21

 
 
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.  In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
 
 
·
the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
     
 
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
 
Disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commission’s payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.  Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
 
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market.  These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock, if and when our common stock becomes publicly traded.  In addition, the liquidity for our common stock may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock.  Our common stock are subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their common stock.

The market for penny stock has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could adversely impact subscribers of our stock.

We believe that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
 
 
·
control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
     
 
·
manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
     
 
·
“boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
     
 
·
excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
     
 
·
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
We believe that many of these abuses have occurred with respect to the promotion of low price stock companies that lacked experienced management, adequate financial resources, an adequate business plan and/or marketable and successful business or product.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business.  Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in the common stock.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K may contain forward-looking statements.
 
Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions, and future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
 
All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “can,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “point to,” “project,” “predict,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “potential,” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation:
 
 
·
our inability to raise capital;
     
 
·
our failure to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for our products;
     
 
·
the results of the current SEC investigation of our company;
     
 
·
the inability to obtain or retain customer acceptance of our products;
     
 
·
the failure of the market for our products to develop;
     
 
·
our inability to protect our intellectual property;

The Company renewed its annual lease agreement for its office and laboratory space in Newark, New Jersey.  The lease term was for the twelve months September 1, 2013 to August 31, 2014.  The monthly rent is $3,019 per month.  On December 1, 2013, the Company terminated the lease of the office space with no penalty or future rent due to the landlord.  The new lease agreement is for the laboratory space at a monthly rental of $1,851 through August 31, 2014.

On November 1, 2011, the Company rented executive office space in Morristown, New Jersey for a period of one year. The monthly rent was $4,998 per month.

ITEM 3.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On November 26, 2012, the Company filed a complaint against Raj Pamani, a shareholder and former director of the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey Essex County: Chancery Division (“the Complaint”).  Included also as defendants were several entities to which in 2009 the Company awarded approximately 13 million shares of its common stock in consideration for consulting contracts which the Company has concluded were fraudulently induced and were later deemed to be worthless (the “Defendant Entities”).  By causing the Company to enter into the contracts to its detriment in favor of Mr. Pamani’s and the Defendant Entities self-enrichment, the Company seeks to recover damages incurred from the actions of Mr. Pamani and the Defendant Entities as a result of self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of loyalty and fraud.  As this matter unfolds, the Company may pursue and recover damages incurred from other parties that come to its attention for their participation.

On October 1, 2009, the SEC issued a formal order of investigation to the Company regarding possible securities laws violations by us and other persons.  The investigation concerns the process by which the Company became a publicly traded entity, trading in the Company’s shares, and disclosure and promotion of developments in the Company’s business.  The SEC has requested that the Company deliver certain documents to the SEC.  The Company has, and will continue to fully cooperate with the SEC with respect to its investigation.

The Company has incurred, and may continue to incur costs, which may be significant, in responding to such investigation.  Any adverse findings by the SEC in connection with such investigation could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, including the Company's ability to continue to operate as a publicly traded company.
 
In April 2005, the Company filed in the US Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) an application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™, Ogiene® and Ygiene®, based on its intent to use each of these marks in commerce.  In April 2006, the USPTO issued notices of allowance signifying that each of these trademarks was entitled to registration after timely submission of statements of use, including evidence that such trademarks have been properly used in commerce.  From June through November of 2008, however, the Company’s applications for each of these trademarks were declared abandoned by the USPTO, since the Company inadvertently failed to timely file the appropriate statements of use with respect to each trademark within the six-month period from the date the USPTO issued the respective notices of allowance.  In July 2009, the Company again submitted applications for each of these trademarks as well as the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT®; however, the Company learned that PURE Bioscience, a company focused on the development and commercialization of bioscience products, had filed application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™ and Ygiene® prior to the Company’s resubmission of its applications.  Subsequently in 2011, the Company received trademark registration from the USPTO for Ygiene®, Ogiene® and the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT®. The Company intends to pursue with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board an opposition to PURE Bioscience's application with respect to BioNeutral™. The Company cannot assure you that it will be successful with such opposition on a timely basis, if at all.  In May 2011, the Company received notice that PURE Bioscience filed a petition with the USPTO for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene® registration.  On November 14, 2013 the USPTO issued an order for dismissal of PURE Bioscience’s petition to for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene® registration.

Other than the foregoing, the Company is not a party to, and none of the Company’s property is the subject of, any pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation that is incidental to the Company’s business.

Company Overview

We are life science specialty technology corporation that has developed  a novel combinational chemistry-based technology which we believe can, in certain circumstances, neutralize harmful environmental contaminants, toxins and dangerous micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses and spores.  We are focused on developing and commercializing two classes of product formulations: (1) anti­microbials, which are formulations designed to kill certain harmful microscopic living organisms, and (2) bioneutralizer, which are formulations designed to destroy certain agents that are noxious and harmful to health and/or the environment.  We have not marketed any of our products and have not generated any meaningful product revenue to date. 
 
We currently are focused on the commercialization of two classes of product formulations, antimicrobials and bioneutralizer.  We refer to our anti­microbial formulations as our Ygiene™ products and our bioneutralizer formulations as our Ogiene™ products.  Our Ygiene ™ products are being developed to kill certain harmful microbes, including virulent gram and bacteria (which cause staph infections), viruses, yeast, mold, fungi, spores and/or certain bioterrorism agents, such as anthrax.  Our Ogiene™ products are being developed to eliminate or reduce odors of many chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde and ammonia, and to reduce certain greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
 
The marketing and sale in the United States and foreign countries of some of our current products and the products we may develop in the future are and may be subject to U.S. and foreign governmental regulations, respectively, which vary substantially from country to country.  The marketing and sale of our Ygiene ™ products in the United States, is subject to EPA registration and in some cases, FDA clearance, and we cannot market and sell any of such products in the United States until such registration or clearance is obtained.  We do not believe the marketing sale of our Ogiene ™   products are subject to EPA registration or FDA clearance.  We have not sold significant amounts of our Ygiene ™ or Ogiene ™ products to date.  We currently are focusing our efforts and resources on obtaining the registrations, clearances and approvals necessary to marketing and selling our Ygiene ™ products in the United States; however, we cannot assure you that we will be have the financial resources to do so or that such registrations, clearances and approvals will be obtained on a timely basis, if at all.

Plan of Operation

Our strategic plan for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 was focused on leveraging developments in the United States for our Ygiene™ professional disinfectant product and continuing our work within the regulatory process of the U.S. for EPA registration of additional variations of Ygiene™.  Our Ygiene™ professional disinfectant product and multipurpose cleaner and disinfectant product were registered and approved with the US EPA on February 28, 2011.  Subsequently, we have registered Ygiene™ in 32 US states for sale and distribution. Our Ygiene™ was registered with the German Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin, a German government sanctioned institute for safety and health, on January 5, 2010 and November 30, 2009, respectively.  As a result of such registrations, we are permitted to sell such Ygiene™ based products in Germany, although we have not sold any of our products in Germany and currently do not have adequate resources to attempt to make any such sales or to have our products manufactured for sale.  We believe these registrations present us with a strong and dynamic platform for accessing well developed global markets for commercial use of our Ygiene™ professional disinfectant product and multipurpose cleaner and disinfectant product.

Currently, we are focusing our efforts on the development and commercialization of Ygiene formulation for the markets of Healthcare and Life Sciences and Industrial Applications.  We’ve developed our Ogiene™ products to potentially eliminate or reduce odors of many chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde and ammonia, and to reduce certain green­house gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.  Our Ogiene™ formulations are designed to interact with the functional organic or inorganic groups of harmful gases and reduce or eliminate them.

We believe that our products can offer a superior solution that addresses needs not currently being met in the marketplace for combating bacteria, viral and spore based threats. We further believe that our products can provide a distinct advantage when distinguishing them from those that are currently in use in our targeted markets. In addition, our core product is flexible and adaptable for multiple applications.  Industry or use specific modifications made by our professional scientist allow our products to be readily customized to the demands of multiple unique markets.

We are emphasizing these strategic advantages as part of our brand development efforts to overcome competitive barriers to entry in markets that are driven by large, established organizations.  The markets for our Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ products and each of their potential channels are highly competitive. We have a number of competitors that vary in size and scope and breadth of products offered.  Such competitors include some of the largest corporations in the world, and we believe substantially all of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do, including in the areas of sales, marketing, and branding and product development.  We expect to face additional competition from other competitors in the future.
 
Because Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ are new formulations enhanced from our initial base formulas, our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to achieve market share at the expense of existing, established and future products in our relevant target markets. Even if our Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ formulations may have technological competitive advantages over competing products, we or potential distributors, will need to invest significant resources in order to attempt to displace traditional technologies sold by what are in many cases well-known international industry leaders.  Alternatively, we may pursue strategies in selective markets of encouraging existing competitors to incorporate our products into their existing brands, thereby reducing the proportion of end-use revenues that would accrue to us.  To the extent that we were to grant any existing competitor exclusivity to any field and/or territory, we would risk having our technology marketed in a manner that may be less than optimal for us.  We recognize that innovative marketing methods may be required in order to establish our products, and that such methods may not be successful.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Results of Operations for Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) and the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”).

Revenues:  During fiscal 2013 the Company generated revenues of $21,293 as compared to revenues of $4,588 for fiscal 2012. Our efforts have been focused on sales and marketing of our non-regulated Ogiene™ product line as well the sale of our Ygieneformulation in acute and long-term healthcare and industrial markets where pathogenic spores are present.  In December 2012 we initialized our commercialization strategy.

In calendar year 2013 we extended our commercialization strategy to sell our products into the healthcare and life sciences markets, and also into industrial markets.  Within healthcare and life sciences, most of our customer’s perform trial testing of our products prior to purchasing which can significantly lengthen the selling cycle.  To date our marketing efforts have led to 125 trials of our products.  Our products have been ordered within the segments of university laboratory medical research, pharmaceutical manufacturing and veterinarian care.  These trials have led to the addition of 35 new customers of our products.

For calendar 2013 we also targeted industrial market segments of mold remediation and industrial odor control.  Within the industrial marketplace our products are trial tested as well prior to purchasing thereby lengthening the selling cycle in most cases.  We signed two independent selling groups to represent our products.  Collectively through the independent selling groups we have approximately 35 representatives throughout the United States marketing our products.  In addition, we established a relationship with an Ohio based distributor of medical products. .

Based on the progress as noted above, we are generally pleased with the market reception of our products.  Though the sales cycle has proved to be slower than originally planned for, management is generally encouraged by the current selling momentum and anticipates increases of new customers. We intend to expand our efforts to sell our products by offering them for sale through distribution.  Recently we announced our new relationship with Quip Laboratories, a leading sales distribution company of biosafety products in the laboratory and biomedical research segments. We have other such relationships under consideration, and plan to vigorously pursue others to add to selling capacity.

Operating Expenses:   Operating expenses were $3,072,783 for fiscal 2013 and $2,542,475 for fiscal 2012 for a 21% increase of $530,308.  Our operating expenses consist of compensation of our executive and scientific staff, consulting expenses supporting development of, and regulatory approvals for, our products, legal and accounting services, and non-cash amortization of our intellectual property.

Amortization and depreciation expense was $708,936 for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012.

Salaries expense for fiscal 2013 was $694,705, an increase of 46% over amounts for fiscal 2012, which were $476,817.  Overall compensation was higher in fiscal 2013 primarily reflecting the retention of internal sales assistance in 2013 to initialize the Company’s sales strategy, the addition of our Chief Executive Officer and accounting and finance support personnel.

Consulting fee expenses were $667,350 for fiscal 2013 as compared to $443,842 for fiscal 2012 for a 50% increase of $223,508.  The increase primarily reflects the addition of sales consultants in 2013 to begin the commercialization strategy that we launched in January 2013. The increase was materially offset by a reduction of costs due to a $200,000 consulting fee expense from Piccadilly Consultants in 2012 which it did not incur in 2013.  Piccadilly Consultants were not consultants of the Company in 2013.

Total legal and accounting expenses for fiscal 2013 were $380,891, an increase of $97,079 over amounts for fiscal 2012 which were $283,812, reflecting an increase in legal fees associated with the lawsuits with Pamani and Vinfluence.
 
Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for fiscal 2013 were $620,901, a decrease of $8,167 over amounts for fiscal 2012 which were $629,068.  The decrease reflects the Company’s ability to hold down these costs during fiscal 2013 while increasing other costs of the Company associated with commercializing the Company’s products and the costs of pursing the lawsuits with Vinfluence and Pamani.

Other Income and Expense for the fiscal 2013 was $124,606, an 89% increase of $58,578 over amounts for fiscal 2012 which were $66,028.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $148,129 reflecting additional convertible note borrowing in fiscal 2013, the amortization of debt discount of $481,290, the amortization of conversion feature of $47,094 offset by a $238,750 credit of consulting expense and $379,185 decrease in fair value of derivative liability. The credit of $238,750 provided was a reimbursement of bonus compensation paid to Dr. Andy Kielbania for the year ended October 2011.   In addition, for 2012 certain promissory notes which were settled by Vinfluence carried interest expense reductions which in turn led to reversals of previously recorded interest expense.
 
Net Loss:  We experienced a net loss from operations before consideration of our Non-Controlling interest of $3,190,789 for fiscal 2013. The discussion of operating expenses identifies the elements of the net loss.  For fiscal 2012 our net loss was $2,606,350.  We anticipate that we will experience a net loss in fiscal 2014 as we continue to pursue regulatory approvals for the sale and distribution of our products and development of access to global markets.

Analysis of Impairment
 
In conjunction with our 2013 audit, we performed our annual impairment testing during January 2014.  In this analysis, we determined that the current carrying value of our Intellectual Property was $9,249,498.
 
We computed the Intellectual Property value by using an undiscounted cash model. In our undiscounted cash flow analysis, we prepared a five year forecast of our expected earnings to derive an explicit stream of expected free cash flows through October 31, 2018. We developed our revenue and direct variable costs forecast based on a variety of factors including our current and anticipated sales pipeline of prospects currently known to the Company, and those which the Company believes will be generated through current and future relationships with distributors, knowledge of our business and industry, general economic conditions in the marketplace and expectations of market opportunity with respect to the specific types of advertising services we provide. Our operating expenses are generally fixed and predictable; however, we increased our budgeted operating expenses by an amount that we believe is approximately equal to theoretical lease costs we would incur had our parent company not provided us with facilities that are not a component of operating costs in our goodwill reporting unit. After having determined the amount of our explicit year cash flows, we assumed that the Company would experience a long-term growth rate in free cash flows of 2% per annum thereafter. We then multiplied our cash flows by a marginal federal and state tax rate of 40% to derive our after-tax yearly cash flows.  The range of Intellectual Property values we derived using the above amounted to $40,838,471, which exceeds the carrying value of our Intellectual Property of $9,249,498.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had $702 of cash at October 31, 2013.  Cash used by operations for fiscal 2013 was $711,473. The principal use of funds were for consulting services supporting the development of our business plan, legal, and accounting fees in connection with being a public company and daily operations of the business, including rent and travel and laboratory costs.  

In fiscal 2013, we raised $25,000 of cash from the issuance of our capital stock to fund operations. We received $686,500 from the issuance of convertible debentures.

In fiscal 2012, we raised $1,000,000 of cash from the issuance of our capital stock to fund operations. We received $356,500 from the issuance of convertible debentures.

We are not currently generating significant revenues and rely on raising new capital to fund our ongoing operations and development of our strategic business objectives. We have been able to use proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock and the issuance of debt to fund a substantial balance of our operating costs. On December 12, 2012 we issued a convertible promissory note to JMJ financial in the amount of $250,000 of which we received draw payments of $160,000, and we made repayments of $90,000. We expect to receive similar draw payments from JMJ under the note at various intervals during the calendar year 2014. Recently we have issued promissory notes in the favor of GEL for $167,920.

The Company believes that we will be able to generate significant sales by the fourth quarter of 2014 providing for sufficient cash flows to supplement our equity financing.  If we are able to execute our plan, the Company can begin to accumulate cash reserves.  There is no assurance based on our current plans, however that our funds will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs through our fiscal year 2014, and we may need to raise additional capital during fiscal 2014 to fund the full costs associated with our growth and development. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its business development initiatives, impair its intellectual property and take additional measures to reduce cost in order to conserve cash.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires judgment on the part of management to arrive at estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain.  These estimates may affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities within the financial statements.  Estimates and assumptions are periodically evaluated and may be adjusted in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition The revenue recorded is presented net of sales and other taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities and includes shipping and handling costs, which generally are included in the list price to the customer. Our policy is to recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 based on when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery or performance has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sale is reasonably assured, which is normally the date the product is shipped.

Income Taxes – The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company will classify as income tax expense any interest and penalties. The tax years ending 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are still open for review by the various tax jurisdictions. The state jurisdiction the Company is required to file in is New Jersey. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which  defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
 
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
 
 
34

 
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
 
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Convertible Instruments
 
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”
 
Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

Stock-Based Payments – Significant amounts of our shares of common stock are issued as payment to employees and non-employees for services and periodically as consideration for acquisition of assets.  These are non-cash transactions that require management to make judgments related to the fair value of the shares issued, which affects the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements for certain of our assets and expenses.  For historic fiscal years when there was not an observable active, liquid market for our shares, the valuation of the shares issued in a non-cash share payment transaction relied on observation of arms-length transactions where cash was received for our shares, before and after the non-cash share payment date.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets - Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite-life intangible assets (i.e. Intellectual Property) are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35-17 thru 35-35 “Measurement of an Impairment Loss”.  We assess the impairment of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow the assets are expected to generate compared to the carrying value of the assets.  If the carrying amount of the assets is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded.  Management estimates future cash flows using assumptions about expected future operating performance.  Management’s estimates of future cash flows may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions or changes to our business operations.  Our Intellectual Property was tested for impairment as of October 31, 2012.  Forecasted undiscounted future cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of the assets indicating that the assets were not impaired.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of BioNeutral Group, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BioNeutral Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 include 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BioNeutral Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company has recurring losses, had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2.8 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $58 million as of October 31, 2013.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters is described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BioNeutral Group, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Organization
 
BioNeutral Group, Inc (the “Company”) is a specialty chemical company seeking to develop and commercialize a novel combinational chemistry-based technology which it believes in certain circumstances may neutralize harmful environmental contaminants, toxins and dangerous micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and spores.  The Company’s business operations are conducted through BioNeutral Laboratories Corporation USA, a corporation organized in Delaware in 2003 (“BioLabs”). 

On January 30, 2009, the Company, formerly called Moonshine Creations Inc. (“Moonshine”), entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with BioLabs pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the shareholders of BioLabs 44,861,023 shares of its common stock (the “Share Exchange”).

Since the owners and management of BioLabs possessed voting and operating control of the combined company after the Share Exchange, the transaction constituted a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, as contemplated by FASB ASC 805-40 and corresponding ASC 805-10-55-10, 12 and 13. Under this accounting, the entity that issues shares (Moonshine – the legal acquirer) is identified as the acquiree for accounting purposes. The entity whose shares are acquired (BioLabs) is the accounting acquirer.

In addition, Moonshine was characterized as a non-operating public shell company, pursuant to SEC reporting rules. The SEC staff considers a reverse-acquisition with a public shell to be a capital transaction, in substance, rather than a business combination. The transaction is effectively a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company (BioLabs) for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation (Moonshine) accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that the transaction was consummated at book value and no goodwill or intangible assets were recognized.

For SEC reporting purposes, BioLabs is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired the Company (the historic shell registrant). All reports filed after the transaction have been prepared as if BioLabs (accounting acquirer) were the legal successor to Moonshine’s reporting obligation as of the date of the acquisition. Therefore, these financial statements and all such statements filed subsequent to the transaction reflect the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of BioLabs, for all periods presented.

Moonshine changed its name to BioNeutral Group, Inc. in the month prior to the exchange, to facilitate the Share Exchange. References to “Moonshine” in this description of the accounting treatment is included to add clarity to the separation of the independent entities involved in the Share Exchange, prior to such exchange.
 
Approximately 8% of BioLabs shareholders at October 31, 2013 and 2012, have not participated in the exchange of their shares of common stock of BioLabs for shares of common stock of Moonshine, which was originally 14% of BioLabs shareholders. Those shareholders are recognized as a Non-Controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB ACS 805-40-25-2. However, the shares representing ownership of the Company reflect the combined entity after the Share Exchange transaction, while BioLabs shares represent ownership of only that legal entity.

In connection with the reverse acquisition and recapitalization, all share and per share amounts of BioLabs were retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital structure of Moonshine pursuant to FASB ASC 805-40-45-1.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated. 

Revenue recognition
 
The revenue recorded is presented net of sales and other taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities and includes shipping and handling costs, which generally are included in the list price to the customer. Our policy is to recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 based on when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery or performance has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sale is reasonably assured, which is normally the date the product is shipped.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 and $44,672 at October 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. For financial statement purposes, investments in money market funds are considered a cash equivalent and are included in cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains it cash and cash equivalents at high credit quality institutions, with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As of October 31, 2012, the Company did not exceed the federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institution that holds our deposits is financially sound and therefore poses minimal credit risk. At October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

Inventory
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method.  In the normal course of business, when a customer places an order, the Company will place an order for manufacturing with its contract manufacturer.  Inventory consists of finished goods and raw materials, both of which are immaterial and warehoused at our contract manufacturer.
 
Non-Controlling Interest
 
A Non-Controlling Interest (“non-controlling interest”) was created as a result of the Company’s reorganization and recapitalization with a public shell corporation. The non-controlling interest arose because the Company’s records indicated that initially 14% of the shareholders of the accounting acquirer in the transaction, BioLabs, did not participate in the exchange of their shares of common stock of BioLabs for shares of common stock of the Company. In all material respects, the shares of the Company and the shares of the common stock of BioLabs included in the non-controlling interest represent different legal instruments conveying mirror ownership claims to the same underlying net assets and operations, as reflected in these consolidated financial statements.
  
 
43

 
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite-life intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35-17 thru 35-35 “Measurement of an Impairment Loss.” The Company assesses the impairment of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow the assets are expected to generate compared to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the assets is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Management estimates future cash flows using assumptions about expected future operating performance. Management’s estimates of future cash flows may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions or changes to the Company’s business operations.
 
Intangible Assets
 
The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Intellectual Property is generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.  The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  During its annual impairment testing of its intellectual property, the Company did not identify an impairment loss.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset, after the asset is placed in service. The Company generally uses the following depreciable lives for its major classifications of property and equipment:
 
Description
 
Useful Lives
Furniture and Fixture
 
7 years
Computer hardware
 
3 years
 
Ordinary maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations when incurred.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Accounting Principles generally accepted in The United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities, share based payment arrangements, imbedded conversion feature, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances and assumptions used in impairment analysis. Certain of our estimates, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and records adjustments when necessary.

Advertising expenses

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.   Advertising expense was immaterial for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Research and Development

In accordance with ASC Topic 730 research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Research and development expenses consist of purchased technology (including but not limited to intellectual property), purchased research and development rights and outside services for research and development activities associated with product development.  Research and Development expense were $213,423 and $237,031 for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
 
44

 
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company will classify as income tax expense any interest and penalties. The tax years ending 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are still open for review by the various tax jurisdictions since none of the tax returns have been filed. The state jurisdiction the Company is required to file in is New Jersey, and the tax years ending 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are still open for review. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which  defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
 
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
 
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of its common stock for unrestricted shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time as the nonemployee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date equals the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.
 
Convertible Instruments
 
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”
 
Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
 
Net income (loss) per share

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share, to calculate net income or loss per share. Basic income or loss per share is computed by dividing the income or loss available to common stockholders (as the numerator) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding (as the denominator). Diluted income or loss per share is computed similar to basic income or loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if all potential common stock (including common stock equivalents) had all been issued, and if such additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Under FASB ASC 260, if the additional shares of common stock are not dilutive, they are not added to the denominator in the calculation. Where there is a loss, the inclusion of additional shares of common stock is anti-dilutive (since the increased number of shares reduces the per share loss available to common stock holders). The Company incurred a net loss for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 therefore, common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, since they would be aniti-dilutive.

The following table outlines the common stock equivalents outstanding as of October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

Segment Information

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 280-10, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed therein materially represents all of the financial information related the Company’s principal operating segments.

The Company with its limited resources is currently operating in one segment and reporting unit.  As it matures it will look to organize the Company into various reporting units as it starts to develop and ascertain its markets and avenues of distribution and product offerings.  Therefore, it anticipates in the future it may be operating in multiple reporting units.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).  U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." This ASU simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment which improve consistency in impairment testing requirements among long-lived asset categories. These amended standards permit an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. For assets in which this assessment concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, these amended standards eliminate the requirement to perform quantitative impairment testing as outlined in the previously issued standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
Note 3 – Going Concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has had no significant revenues and has generated losses from operations. In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources and to develop a consistent source of revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its strategic plan and/or recognize revenue from its intangible assets and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

At October 31, 2013, the Company had negative working capital of $2,571,270. For the year ended October 31, 2013 the Company incurred an operating loss of $3,190,789 and since inception has an accumulated a deficit of $57,889,075.

The Company had $702 of cash at October 31, 2013.  Cash used by operations for fiscal 2013 was $711,473. The principal uses of funds were for consulting services supporting the development of our business plan, legal, and accounting fees in connection with being a public company and daily operations of the business, including rent and travel and laboratory costs.  

In fiscal 2013, the Company raised $25,000 of cash from the issuance of our capital stock to fund operations and received $686,500 from the issuance of convertible debentures.

The Company is not currently generating significant revenues and relies on raising new capital to fund our ongoing operations and development of our strategic business objectives. We have been able to use proceeds from the sale of our shares of common stock to fund a substantial balance of our operating costs. On December 12, 2012 we issued a convertible promissory note to JMJ financial in the amount of $250,000 of which we received draw payments of $160,000, and we made repayments of $90,000. We expect to receive similar draw payments from JMJ under the note at various intervals during the calendar year 2014. Recently we have issued promissory notes in the favor of GEL for $167,920.

Management believes that it will be able to generate significant sales by the fourth quarter of 2014 providing for sufficient cash flows to supplement our equity and debt financings. If we are able to execute our plan, the Company can begin to accumulate cash reserves. There is no assurance based on current plans, however that funds will be sufficient to meet anticipated needs through fiscal year 2014, and we may need to raise additional capital during fiscal 2014 to fund the full costs associated with growth and development. There can be no assurances that will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its business development initiatives, impair its intellectual property and take additional measures to reduce cost in order to conserve cash.

Note 7 - Stock Based Compensation

The Company issues shares of its common stock to employees and non-employees as compensation for services provided. Stock based compensation related to employees is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and ASC 505-50 for non-employees. All shares, except those listed below, issued during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 were fully vested upon grant of the shares or no later than the respective year end dates.

Employees and Board Members

Measurement of compensation cost related to shares of common stock issued to employees is based on the grant date fair value of the shares. Fair value was determined through the use of quoted prices in the trading market for the Company’s shares (OTCBB) or arms-length exchanges of shares for cash in private transactions, in periods that quoted market prices were not available.

On October 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock compensation plan for professionals and consultants.  Pursuant the approval of the plan, on November 7, 2012, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for issuance of up to ten (10) million shares pursuant to the stock compensation plan.

The only Series B and Series D Preferred Stock that remains outstanding (an aggregate of 67,581 shares) represents debt or notes that were actually settled by Vinfluence. Each share of Preferred Stock cancelled was convertible into 125 shares of the Company's common stock thus the cancellation of the Vinfluence Agreements results in significantly less dilution than if the Preferred Stock had been converted. As part of the Global Agreement, the Company will issue Vinfluence an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Further, pursuant the Global Agreement, $136,848 of debt remains to be settled and released associated with the Series D Preferred Stock.  As of October 31, 2013 the preferred shares have not been cancelled or common shares issued.

During fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 the Company exchanged shares with several of the BioLabs preferred and common stockholders, all of whom exchanged their shares at a ratio of 1 share of preferred stock for 10 shares of common stock and 1 to 1 common exchange, except for four preferred stockholders and common stockholders of BioLabs who were issued an aggregate of 3,598,800 shares of common stock. These four shareholders exchanged their shares at a ratio of 200 shares of common stock for 1 share of preferred stock and a 1 to 1 common share exchange.  Although all of the exchanged shares are reflected in the financial statements as issued and outstanding, the issuance of shares to the four holders who exchanged at the higher exchange ratio is subject to dispute.  As a result of the above transaction, the Company is disputing the issuance of 2,634,730 shares of common stock. A resolution of this dispute is currently being pursued by the Company.  However the exact nature and effect of such a resolution on the financial statements of the Company is not currently known.  In this regard, a prospective resolution could ultimately produce various financial statement effects including, but not limited to a reduction in the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and an increase to earnings per share or no effect at all.

During the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, no holders of our preferred shares exchanged Series A Preferred shares into shares of common stock.
 
Non-Controlling Interest

In connection with the reverse acquisition disclosed in Note 1, initially approximately 14% of BioLabs’ common shareholders did not participate in the exchange of their shares of BioLabs common stock for shares of common stock of the Company. Those shareholders are recognized as a non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB ACS 805-40-25-2. The assets, liabilities and operations underlying the shares of BioLabs and the Company are identical. However, the shares representing ownership of the Company reflect the combined entity after the Share Exchange transaction, while BioLabs shares included in the non-controlling interest held by the non-controlling interest represent ownership of that legal entity.

The Series A Preferred Stock is recognized in the Non-Controlling Interest. If the 59,484 shares of preferred stock were fully converted into shares of BioLabs common stock and Preferred Shareholders did not elect to exchange those shares for Company common stock, the Non-Controlling interest would be 8.44% as of October 31, 2013 and 2012.

Note 9 - Taxes
 
The Company did not file federal tax returns for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, the ten months ended October 31, 2008 and the fiscal years ended October 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. These returns are not expected to report any tax due. The Company has its primary operations in the State of New Jersey and is required to file New Jersey corporate income tax returns. The Company has not filed any New Jersey State tax returns. Since the Company would have incurred tax losses for each of the years for which returns have not been filed, it anticipates that only minimal taxes could be due, including any interest and penalties that might be assessed.

The Company is not in discussions with any tax authorities whereby any settlements over past due taxes are in progress.

For the years ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $41.7 million and $39.5 million in U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”), respectively, which begin to expire 20 years from the original due date the tax returns are filed.  The NOLs may be subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than fifty percent change in ownership as determined under the regulations.  The Company has performed a preliminary review and has determined that the NOLs are not currently subject to limitation.  The Company has not filed any of its federal or state tax returns and the net operating loss carryovers will not be available to offset future taxable income, if any, until the tax returns are filed.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on this assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets for each period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The change in valuation allowance for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 is $2,856,688 and $2,304,752, respectively.

The McNeil Note is due on August 18, 2014, and bears interest at 18% per annum. Mr. McNeil has the right to convert the principal and interest into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 50% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 preceding days of the Maturity Date of August 18, 2014.

During fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2011 the Company entered into several convertible note agreements with Capara Investments (“Capara”).  These notes mature 5 years from the date of issuance and bear interest at 8% per annum.  Upon consummation of a qualified financing, the convertible notes shall automatically be exchanged for, at the sole discretion of the issuer, into securities on the same terms and conditions on those received by investors in such qualified financing of exchanged for a number of shares at an exchange price which equals the lower of $0.69 and the fair market value of the stock on the exchange date.

Derivative Financial Instrument

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging which requires issuers of financial statements to make a determination as to whether (1) an embedded conversion meets the definition of a derivative in its entirety and (2) the derivative would qualify for a scope exception to derivative accounting, which includes evaluating whether the embedded derivative would be considered indexed to the issuer’s own stock.

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as separate derivatives in the event such derivatives would not be classified in stockholders’ equity if they were free standing. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other applicable US GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the  embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides for an exception to this rule if a debt host instrument is deemed to be a conventional debt instrument.

The Company evaluated the conversion option embedded in its Convertible notes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 and determined that on the conversion date, the conversion option will have all of the characteristics of a derivative in its entirety and does not qualify for an exception to the derivative accounting rules. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option in the Convertible notes are classified as derivative liabilities at the conversion dates and are marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the conversion option was determined using the intrinsic value method which the Company believes approximate the results obtained using the Binomial Lattice model. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible notes were recorded net of a discount of $337,221 related to the derivative liability. The debt discount will be charged to amortization of debt discount ratably over the term of the Convertible notes utilizing the interest method. Additionally, the Company recorded a discount in the amount of $206,248 in connection with the initial valuation of the beneficial conversion feature of a Convertible note to be amortized utilizing the interest method of accretion over the expected term of the note. The Company recorded an aggregate amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $481,290 for the year ended October 31, 2013.  The remaining unamortized discount was $91,167 at October 31, 2013.  The change in derivative liability was $379,185 during the year ended October 31, 2013 and is recorded in the statement of operations.

Litigation

On November 26, 2012, the Company filed a complaint against Raj Pamani, a shareholder and former director of the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey Essex County: Chancery Division (“the Complaint”).  Included also as defendants were several entities to which in 2009 the Company awarded approximately 13 million shares of its common stock in consideration for consulting contracts which the Company has concluded were fraudulently induced and were later deemed to be worthless (the “Defendant Entities”).  By causing the Company to enter into the contracts to its detriment in favor of Mr. Pamani’s and the Defendant Entities self-enrichment, the Company seeks to recover damages incurred from the actions of Mr. Pamani and the Defendant Entities as a result of self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of loyalty and fraud.  As this matter unfolds, the Company may pursue and recover damages incurred from other parties that come to its attention for their participation.
 
On October 1, 2009, the SEC issued a formal order of investigation to the Company regarding possible securities laws violations by us and other persons.  The investigation concerns the process by which the Company became a publicly traded entity, trading in the Company’s shares, and disclosure and promotion of developments in the Company’s business.  The SEC has requested that the Company deliver certain documents to the SEC.  The Company has, and will continue to fully cooperate with the SEC with respect to its investigation.

The Company has incurred, and may continue to incur costs that may be significant in responding to such investigation.  Any adverse findings by the SEC in connection with such investigation could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, including the Company's ability to continue to operate as a publicly traded company.
 
In April 2005, the Company filed in the US Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) an application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™, Ogiene® and Ygiene®, based on its intent to use each of these marks in commerce. In April 2006, the USPTO issued notices of allowance signifying that each of these trademarks was entitled to registration after timely submission of statements of use, including evidence that such trademarks have been properly used in commerce. From June through November of 2008, however, the Company’s applications for each of these trademarks were declared abandoned by the USPTO, since the Company inadvertently failed to timely file the appropriate statements of use with respect to each trademark within the six-month period from the date the USPTO issued the respective notices of allowance. In July 2009, the Company again submitted applications for each of these trademarks as well as the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT®; however, the Company learned that PURE Bioscience, a company focused on the development and commercialization of bioscience products, had filed application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™ and Ygiene® prior to the Company’s resubmission of its applications. Subsequently in 2011, the Company received trademark registration from the USPTO for Ygiene®, Ogiene® and the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT®. The Company intends to pursue with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board an opposition to PURE Bioscience's application with respect to BioNeutral™. The Company cannot assure you that it will be successful with such opposition on a timely basis, if at all. In May 2011, the Company received notice that PURE Bioscience filed a petition with the USPTO for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene® registration. On November 14, 2013 the USPTO issued an order for dismissal of PURE Bioscience’s petition to for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene® registration.

Other than the foregoing, the Company is not a party to, and none of the Company’s property is the subject of, any pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation that is incidental to the Company’s business.

Employment Agreements
 
On July 9, 2012, the Company announced that, effective July 2, 2012, Mr. Mark Lowenthal, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, has agreed to serve as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. The term of Mr. Lowenthal's employment shall be indefinite. Mr. Lowenthal's compensation shall consist of a $300,000 per annum base salary, except that Mr. Lowenthal shall receive a base salary of $150,000 per annum, with the remainder being deferred until such time as the Company has at least $4,000,000 in gross revenues or raises at least $3,000,000 in financing. Mr. Lowenthal shall also be entitled to a bonus in an amount not to exceed 25% of his base salary in the event that the Company reaches certain performance goals. Mr. Lowenthal shall also be granted options to purchase 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share, which options shall vest at an annualized rate of 25% per year. At October 31, 2013, the options have not been granted.  Mr. Lowenthal shall also be entitled to a one-time success fee in the amount of $5,000,000 if the Company is sold or merged during the term of his employment, provided that the Company is valued at $100,000,000 or more in connection with such sale or merger (if the value is between $75,000,000 and $99,999,999.99 then the success fee will be pro-rated).
 
Distribution Agreement

On April 12, 2013 and in connection with the Global Agreement, the Company also entered into distribution agreement (the "New Distribution Agreement") with White Charger Limited, a New Zealand company whereby White Charger has the right to distribute the Company's products in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Burma, New Caledonia, Kiribati, the Marshal Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Pitcairn, Henderson, Mauritius and Ocneo. This is a much narrower territory than the original licensing agreement and does not include China, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Japan. It also does not include any option for Europe. No intellectual property of the Company is transferred to White Charger. The New Distribution Agreement requires White Charger to purchase at least $500,000 of the Company's products during the first 24 months of which $175,000 must be purchased during the first 12 months of the New Distribution Agreement. To date there have been no purchases of the Company’s products. The Initial Term of the New Distribution Agreement is for five (5) years and can be extended for an additional five years if White Charger purchases at least $3,000,000 of product during the Initial Term. The New Distribution Agreement also contains a non-competition agreement on behalf of White Charger.
 
Other Contingencies
 
Approximately 4.8 million shares issued in the Share Exchange were issued by the then transfer agent to stockholders of BioLabs for whom the Company does not have records as having consented to the Share Exchange. The Company currently holds approximately 92% of the outstanding interests in its subsidiary, BioLabs. The Company did not receive consents to the Share Exchange from all common and preferred shareholders of BioLabs, and the Company has accounted for those shareholders who did not sign consents as holders of the remaining 8% outstanding interests in BioLabs. The Share Exchange consents did not specify the number of shares of BioLabs common stock to be exchanged by the consenting shareholder and did not affirmatively make the representation and warranties to be made by our stockholders as set forth in the Share Exchange. In light of such omissions, there can be no assurances that a shareholder will not challenge the validity of its consent and request a rescission offer in respect of shares of common stock issued to such person. There can also be no assurances that in light of the content of such Shareholder consent, the Company had a basis for a valid private placement of its common stock issued in the Share Exchange, which if such were the case, may negatively affect our status as a publicly traded company.

In addition, the Company believes that the shareholders who consented to the Share Exchange and were issued shares of Company common stock failed to deliver the stock certificates representing their shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock of BioLabs and may claim they also have an ownership interest in BioLabs. Although the Company would challenge any such claims, it cannot assure investors that it would prevail, in which case the Company’s percentage ownership interest in BioLabs would decrease.

Searchhelp, Inc. Royalty Rights
 
On February 3, 2004, the Company’s subsidiary, Environmental Commercial Technology, Corp. (“ECT”), entered into an agreement with Searchhelp, Inc. (“Searchhelp”).  Searchhelp paid cash and issued shares of its common stock and stock warrants to ECT in order to acquire a royalty equal to 5% of the gross sales of a product ECT was developing (the “U.S. Product”).  The U.S. Product, which has not been commercially released and has not been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), was intended to prevent the growth of mold and fungus.  The Company has determined that for reasons based on the underlying science, the U.S. Product cannot be approved by the EPA.  As a result, the U.S. Product is not commercially viable for the production of revenue.  The agreement with Searchhelp was for a 5 ½ year term, commencing on the first quarter in which the royalty payments to Searchhelp have aggregated to $50,000.  The U.S. Product has not produced revenue and therefore the Company is under no obligation to make royalty payments.  With respect to the consideration paid in the form of cash and issued shares by Searchhelp to ECT, repayment is contingent to the extent that the Company has materially modified the underlying license agreements.  The Company has not modified the underlying license agreements, and as such, is under no obligation to return the consideration of cash and shares.  Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.  The Company reached these conclusions based on recent internal review of the underlying agreements and products related thereto.

ITEM 9A.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and principal financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act).

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Assessment of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Effective July 2, 2012, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Mark Lowenthal, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.  Mr. Lowenthal has agreed to serve as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. The term of Mr. Lowenthal's employment shall be indefinite. Mr. Lowenthal's compensation shall consist of a $300,000 per annum base salary, except that Mr. Lowenthal shall receive a base salary of $150,000 per annum, with the remainder being deferred until such time as the Company has at least $4,000,000 in gross revenues or raises at least $3,000,000 in financing. Mr. Lowenthal shall also be entitled to a bonus in an amount not to exceed 25% of his base salary in the event that the Company reaches certain performance goals. Mr. Lowenthal shall also be granted options to purchase 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share, which options shall vest at an annualized rate of 25% per year. Using the Black-Scholes method of option valuation, the Company determined the fair value of the options were not material at October 31, 2012.  Mr. Lowenthal shall also be entitled to a one-time success fee in the amount of $5,000,000 if the Company is sold or merged during the term of his employment, provided that the Company is valued at $100,000,000 or more in connection with such sale or merger (if the value is between $75,000,000 and $99,999,999 then the success fee will be pro-rated).  Andy Kielbania, who was the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer, will be the Company's Chief Scientific Officer going forward.
 
We previously entered into a consulting agreement with our Chief Scientific Officer, pursuant to which Dr. Kielbania agreed to take responsibilities and take direction from our board of directors.  Under this agreement, we are obligated to pay Dr. Kielbania $10,000 per month; provided, that compensation need not be paid until we have adequate funds in order to make payment on the compensation owed to him. Effective November 1, 2011 the Board appointed Dr. Andrew Kielbania as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with such appointment taking effect immediately. Dr. Kielbania's appointment was governed by the employment agreement entered into by the Company and Dr. Andrew Kielbania pursuant to which Dr. Kielbania was to serve as the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer for a period of six (6) months or until a successor is retained.

ITEM 13.     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

On July 1, 2013 (the “Inception Date”), the Company entered into a promissory note modification agreement (the “Francis Modification”) with Michael D. Francis. The Francis Modification includes all amounts previously owed and due to Mr. Francis pursuant to the promissory note dated December 6, 2012 issued by the Company to Mr. Francis (the “December Note”) plus accrued and unpaid interest of $17,367 through June 30, 2013 for a total due and outstanding under the December Note of $426,619 (the “December 2012 Note Balance”). Since the execution of the December Note, Mr. Francis has made several additional cash advances to the Company during the calendar year 2013 up through and including July 31, 2013 totaling $131,000 (the “2013 Advances”). The Company has agreed to accrue unpaid interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum on through June 30, 2013 on the 2013 Advances (the “Interest On 2013 Advances”). The sum of the 2013 Advances and Interest On 2013 Advances is $134,298 (the “2013 Advances Balance Due”). The sum of the December 2012 Note Balance and the 2013 Advances balance due is $560,918. In consideration for reduction of the interest rate to be accrued on the unpaid principal balance from eighteen (18%) to eight percent (8%) and the extension of the promissory note maturity date to July 1, 2015, the Company agreed to revise the conversion price from $.055 per share of the Company’s common stock to $.005 per share which is equal to the average closing trading price of the Company’s common stock for the 5 preceding days of the Inception Date, and to grant Mr. Francis a security interest in the Company’s assets.
 
On November 11, 2013, the Company issued a Promissory Note to Herb Kozlov, a shareholder of the Company (the “Kozlov Note”), for the satisfaction of a promissory note issued by the Company to Mr. Kozlov on December 6, 2010. Pursuant to the Kozlov Note, the Company promises to pay $75,000.00 plus any accrued and unpaid interest on June 1, 2014. Interest will accrue at the rate of fourteen (14%) per annum. Mr. Kozlov will have the right to receive payment of the Kozlov Note in shares of common stock of the Company at the lower of $.03 per share, or the closing price of such shares on the day proceeding the date when the notice of full or partial conversion is tendered.
 
 
72

 
 
During the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, $73,166 and $64,496 of accrued interest was added to the principal amounts of the notes due to Mr. Francis Note and Mr. Kozlov.  
 
From time to time, one or more of our affiliates may form or hold an ownership interest in and/or manage other businesses both related and unrelated to the type of business that we own and operate.  These persons expect to continue to form, hold an ownership interest in and/or manage additional other businesses which may compete with ours with respect to operations, including financing and marketing, management time and services and potential customers.  These activities may give rise to conflicts between or among the interests of us and other businesses with which our affiliates are associated.  Our affiliates are in no way prohibited from undertaking such activities, and neither we nor our shareholders will have any right to require participation in such other activities.

Further, because we intend to transact business with or affiliates have a material interest, potential conflicts may arise between the respective interests of us and these related persons or entities.  We believe that such transactions will be effected on terms at least as favorable to us as those available from unrelated third parties.

We have not adopted policies and procedures to review, approve, or ratify transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest.

Director Independence

Our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and therefore, we are not subject to any corporate governance requirements regarding independence of board or committee members.  Under the definition of independence contained in the rules of The American Stock Exchange, LLC, an “independent director” of a company means a person who is not an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries and who the board of directors has affirmatively determined does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  After review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his family members, and our company, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, we have determined that Mr. Machinist and Mr. Hanafin are the two members of our Board of Directors that are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable AMEX listing standard.

ITEM 14.      PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and audit-related work and all non-audit work performed by our registered independent public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) is approved in advance by our audit committee of our Board of Directors, including the proposed fees for such work.
