PART I

Item 1. Business

 

The Company

 

Windstar, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 6, 2007. On July 19, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Regenicin, Inc. (“Regenicin”). In September 2013, Regenicin formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of conducting research in the State of Georgia (together, the “Company”). The subsidiary has no activity since its formation due to the lack of funding.

 

The Company’s original business was the development of a purification device. Such business was assigned to the Company’s former management in July 2010.

 

The Company adopted a new business plan and intended to develop and commercialize a potentially lifesaving technology by the introduction of tissue-engineered skin substitutes to restore the qualities of healthy human skin for use in the treatment of burns, chronic wounds and a variety of plastic surgery procedures.

 

The Lawsuit with Lonza

 

On September 30, 2013, we filed a lawsuit against Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (“Lonza Walkersville”), Lonza Group Ltd. (“Lonza Group”) and Lonza America, Inc. (“Lonza America”) (collectively, the “Defendant”) in Fulton County Superior Court in the State of Georgia.

 

We continued to negotiate for almost six months after Lonza paid the previous shareholders of Cutanogen Corporation (“Cutanogen”) to settle their lawsuit. We attempted to acquire the Cutanogen technology from Lonza in lieu of a license, but to no avail. We retained the national law firm of Gordon and Rees, LLP (“Gordon & Rees”) to represent us in this case.

 

In our complaint, we allege that we entered into a Know-How License and Stock Purchase Agreement (“Know-How SPA”) with Lonza Walkersville, on July 21, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, we paid Lonza Walkersville $3,000,000 and, in exchange, we were to receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the commercial sale of the Cutanogen technology. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, we were entitled to receive certain related assistance and support from Lonza Walkersville upon payment of the $3,000,000. Once we secured FDA approval for the commercial sale of technology, the Know-How SPA provided that we were to pay Lonza Walkersville an additional $2,000,000 to buy its subsidiary, Cutanogen.

 

However, as we allege in the complaint, we believe the Defendant determined that it would make more money on the Cutanogen technology if it was not approved by the FDA and, unbeknownst to us, we believe Lonza Walkersville never intended to fulfill its obligations under the Know-How SPA. In this regard, we allege in the complaint that Lonza Walkersville used certain proprietary know-how and information for at least thirteen (13) other companies. We allege in the complaint that this is the same certain proprietary know-how and information we had purchased for $3 million under the exclusive Know-How SPA.

 

Further, as we allege in the complaint, the Defendant utilized threats and coercion against us throughout the contract term, including false claims of breach and securities violations, in order to attempt to terminate the Know-How SPA unilaterally. As a result, we received neither the exclusive license the Defendant had promised, nor the benefit of the exclusive proprietary know-how. Therefore, we allege in the complaint that, because of the Defendant’s breaches and tortious conduct, we lost the fees paid to the Defendant, which the Defendant did not earn, and suffered consequential damages and lost opportunities. In addition, we did not receive compensation from Lonza Walkersville for the time spent working on the Armed Forces Institute of Regenitive Medicine (AFIRM) grant, nor the time spent working on the Department of Defense (DOD) contract, which we were contractually supposed to be paid. We also will not receive the expected financial benefit from the DOD contract to help offset the cost of the clinical trials going forward. Lonza’s failure to secure a renewal of the DOD contract will have a significant financial impact on us. It should also be noted that the $3 million initially paid to Lonza, which was recorded as an intangible asset, was fully written off in the accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2013.

 

On November 7, 2014, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“the Agreement”) with Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. (“Amarantus”), Clark Corporate Law Group, LLP (“CCLG”) and Gordon & Rees. Under the Agreement, we have agreed to sell to Amarantus: (i) all of our Cutanogen intellectual property rights, including all intellectual property rights related to PermaDerm® and any other engineered skin technology for the treatment of severe burns in humans, including any related trademarks, and (ii) all of our rights and claims in our litigation against the Defendant (the “Lonza Litigation”).

 

In exchange, Amarantus has agreed to pay: (i) $3,500,000 in cash, and (ii) shares of common stock in Amarantus having a value of $3,000,000. A portion of the cash purchase price has been allocated to CCLG, who is our sole senior secured creditor.

3

The payments to CCLG, when completed, will satisfy in full our obligations owed to CCLG under its secured promissory note. The $3,000,000 in Amarantus common stock was satisfied by the issuance of 37,500,000 shares of Amarantus common stock to us. In addition to the purchase price, Amarantus paid Gordon & Rees $450,000 at closing. The payment to Gordon & Rees satisfied in full all obligations for litigation fees and costs owed by us to Gordon & Rees in connection with the Lonza Litigation.

 

On December 23, 2014, Senior District Judge J. Irenas responded to Lonza’s request for a dismissal and has requested Regenicin to show cause why the case should not be dismissed. Regenicin’s response was due January 8, 2015 with a hearing scheduled for January 13, 2015. Regenicin requested and was granted a new hearing date of March 3, 2015 with the opposition due February 23, 2015.

 

Our Business Moving Forward

 

We intend to continue to develop and seek FDA approval of cell therapy and biotechnology products.

 

We intend to use some of the proceeds from our recent sale of assets to Amarantus to develop and commercialize our own new technology for cultured skin substitutes. We have been developing our own unique cultured skin substitute since we received Lonza’s termination notice.

 

We are continuing to work with a couple of FDA compliant manufacturers to secure reliable sources for our intended proprietary collagen components. This propriety collagen scaffold, which is the starting structure for our product, is designed to promote cellular growth, adhesion and assembly of multiple types of human cells. As developed, we will initially work to gain FDA commercialization approval for our new proprietary cultured skin product utilizing autologous (patient’s own) cells to produce a multilayered living skin. We expect our cultured skin substitute for the treatment of burns will be available in sufficient quantity for a surgeon to do an initial graft about 4 weeks after we receive the first viable health skin tissue from the patient. Realizing that the patient may not be able to be scheduled for an exact grafting day a month in advance, we are making efforts to ensure the cultured skin substitute will have an adequate shelf life to meet the variable needs of the patient.

 

We are currently in the process of validating our proprietary collagen scaffold to demonstrate safety and ensure a consistent fully FDA cGMP compliant starting material. While qualifying our initial collagen manufacturer, we are working to establish an additional cGMP compliant manufacturer of collagen components as a second source. Our first collagen manufacturer’s capacity is adequate to meet our estimated US demand for patients burned over 30% of their total body surface area. Additional manufacturing capacity will be necessary as we gain approval for chronic wounds, plus other indications, and expand internationally.

 

We are also currently working to qualify a cell therapy manufacturer of our cultured skin substitute. It is necessary to establish a long-term commitment with a manufacturer while going through the FDA approval process. It is mandatory to ensure continuous support from the biologic manufacturer during the approval process, clinical trials and ultimately, supply of commercial product after FDA approval. It is important, while going through the approval process of the FDA, to use the same manufacturer to produce clinical trial material and the commercialized product.

 

We expect our first cultured skin substitute product to be a multi-layered tissue-engineered skin prepared by utilizing autologous (patient’s own) skin cells. It is a graftable collagen based cultured epithelium implant that produces a skin substitute containing both epidermal and dermal components with a collagen base. Clinically, we expect our Cultured Skin substitute self-to-self skin graft product will behave the same as allograft tissue. Our Autologous cultured skin substitute should not be rejected by the immune system of the patient, unlike with porcine or cadaver grafts. Immune system rejection is a serious concern in Xeno-transplant procedures. The use of our cultured skin substitute does not require any specialized physician training because it is applied the same as a standard allograft procedure.

 

Clinically speaking, a product designed to treat a life threatening condition must be available for the patient when needed. Our Culture skin substitute is being developed to be ready to apply to the patient when the patient is ready for grafting. Regenicin’s Cultured Skin Substitute is being designed to be available within the first month of the patient being admitted. Patients with these serious burn injuries may not be in a condition to be grafted on a predefined schedule made more than a month in advance. Therefore, in order to accommodate the patient’s needs, we are striving to ensure that our cultured skin substitute will be designed with a shelf life and manufacturing schedule to ensure it is available whether the patient needs it the first month, or any day after, until the patient’s wound is completely covered and closed.

We intend to work with the FDA for the development of a cultured skin product. We are preparing documentation for Orphan Designation for the USA and European Union using our internal expertise. We will submit the request when we have qualified our cell therapy manufacturer. In order to obtain Orphan designation we will work with the Office of Orphan products to demonstrate that our Cultured Skin Substitute is safe and the probable benefit of using our Cultured Skin Substitute for burns outweighs the risks. There are less than 200,000 patients affected per year in the US with full thickness burns affecting greater than 30 percent of the Total Body Surface Area. TBSA. We hope to obtain Orphan Designation for burns in 2015.  

Having our Cultured Skin Substitute approved as an Orphan Product would have significant benefits, including 7 years exclusivity with the FDA, 11 years exclusivity with the European Union generating revenue from sales of product used during the clinical trials and being able to utilize the data from patients from many different hospitals to gain Commercialization Approval. Orphan approval allows the product to be used to treat people a lot earlier than waiting for extensive clinical trials to gain Biological License Approval. The major difference between Orphan Product Approval and a full Biological License Approval is that the Orphan Product has additional FDA reporting requirements and additional procedural administration steps. Orphan Product patient’s data must be reported to the FDA annually. There is a difference between Orphan Designation and Orphan Product Approval. Orphan Designation qualifies your product to get special assistance from the FDA such as grants, and additional guidance in designing your trials and what the FDA expects you to do to gain Orphan Approval. Orphan Approval is granted when you have demonstrated that your product is safe and has a probable benefit to a patient affected with the specific indication. Orphan Approval means you can begin selling the product.   

We are assembling our Investigative New Drug (IND) Biologic application for our cultured skin substitute utilizing our internal expertise. This will allow us to move the product through the FDA pipeline with minimal expense. As we approach the clinical trials, we may need to obtain additional outside funding. We hope to receive the approval from the FDA to initiate clinical trials in 2015. We intend to apply for Biological License Approval in 2016.  

Our second product is anticipated to be TempaDerm®. TempaDerm® uses cells obtained from human donors to develop banks of cryo-preserved (frozen) cells and cultured skin substitute to provide a continuous supply of non-allogenic skin substitutes to treat much smaller wound areas on patients, such as ulcers. This product has applications in the treatment of chronic skin wounds such as diabetic ulcers, decubitus ulcers and venous stasis ulcers. This product is similar to our burn indication product except for the indications and TempaDerm® does not depend totally on autologous cells. In fact, it could be possible to use the excess cultured skin that was originally produced for use on the patient that donated the cells used to grow the skin. TempaDerm® could take this original cultured skin and use it on someone other than the original donor. TempaDerm® has the possibility of using banked cells, or even frozen cultured skin substitutes, to carry inventory to satisfy unknown needs or large volumes to meet the demands created in large scale disasters.  

We believe this technology has many different uses beyond the burn indication. The other uses include chronic wounds, reconstructive surgery, other complex organs and tissues. Some of the individual components of our cultured skin substitute technology will be developed for devices, such as tendon wraps made of collagen or collagen temporary coverings of large area wounds to protect the patients from infections while waiting for the permanent skin substitute. The collagen technology used for cultured skin substitutes can be used for many different applications in wound healing and stem cell technology and even drug delivery systems.  

We could pursue any or all of the indications simultaneously if financing permitted, but for now we will seek approval for burns first as an Orphan Biologic Product to establish significant safety data and then Biological License Approval.

Competition

 

Several companies have developed products that propose to approach the markets described above. Among those companies are:

 

  - Smith & Nephew Wound Management

  - Genzyme Biosurgery

  - Integra Life Sciences Corporation

  - LifeCell Corporation/Kinetic Concepts

  - Organogenesis Inc

  - Intercytex

  - Genzyme

  - Advanced Biohealing/ Shire

  - Cy Ttera/ NovoCell/ViaCyte

  - Biomimetic Therapeutics Inc.

  - RTI Biologics

 

Each of these companies has a proprietary approach to these markets, but none has yet penetrated the cell therapy markets fully and 4 companies, (Smith and Nephew, Genzyme. Organogenesis, Integra and Advanced Biohealing) have products that are FDA approved for use in burn patients. Conversely, our products are believed to be superior in design and function and, thus, provide significant advantages over the above competitors. The advantages of our cultured skin substitute include simultaneous delivery of Autologus epidermal keratinocytes and fibroblasts on a collagen base. Clinical skin replacements and grafts are in high demand for the treatment of skin injuries: they represent approximately 50% of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine market revenues. In 2009, the potential United States market for tissue-engineered skin replacements and substitutes totaled approximately $18.9 billion, based on a target patient population of approximately 5.0 million. By the year 2019, the total potential target population for the use of tissue-engineered skin replacements and substitutes is expected to increase to 6.4 million, resulting in a potential US market of approximately $24.3 billion. Tissue Engineering and Cell Transplantation: US Markets for Skin Replacements and Substitutes; Report #A426; Medtech Insight: Bridgeport, PA, USA, August 2010.

Government Regulation

 

The Pediatric Medical Device Safety and Improvement Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-85) provides that Orphan Product applications for pediatric use only, or for use in both pediatric and adult patients, that are approved on or after September 27, 2007, are assigned an annual distribution number (ADN) and may be sold for profit (subject to the upper limit of the ADN). In addition, once a product receives an Orphan BLA, the developer of the product receives up to seven years market exclusivity for a specific indication following the product’s approval by the FDA.

 

Unrestricted sales of our cultured skin substitute will require full approval after data for safety and efficacy are collected from a multi-center study. Once the IND is submitted, we expect enrollment and treatment are expected to require one year evaluation on each patient. The final 9 months of the evaluation is expected to be only a monitoring period. After collection of data from the clinical trial and submission to FDA, six months is typically planned for FDA’s review and decision. Having an Orphan designation of which the indication is life threatening and there is an unmet need for catastrophic burns, the review time may be reduced significantly. Therefore, we believe Biological approval can be obtained in 2016. A positive performance of the clinical study and a review from FDA in less than 6 months after pre approval inspection of the manufacturing facility by FDA would support a 2016 date for commercial sales. 

 

Intellectual Property

 

In August 2010, we paid $7,500 and obtained the rights to the trademarks PermaDerm® and TempaDerm® from KJR-10 Corp. In November of 2014, we sold the PermaDerm® trademark to Amarantus as part of the Agreement whereby they purchase all our rights to the Lonza Litigation.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

On September 30, 2013, we filed a lawsuit against the Defendant in Fulton County Superior Court in the State of Georgia.

 

In our complaint, we allege that we entered into the Know-How SPA with Lonza Walkersville, on July 21, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, we paid Lonza Walkersville $3,000,000 and, in exchange, we were to receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the FDA for the commercial sale of the Cutanogen technology. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, we were entitled to receive certain related assistance and support from Lonza Walkersville upon payment of the $3,000,000. Once we secured FDA approval for the commercial sale of the technology, the Know-How SPA provided that we were to pay Lonza Walkersville an additional $2,000,000 to buy its subsidiary, Cutanogen.

On December 23, 2014, Senior District Judge J. Irenas responded to Lonza’s request for a dismissal and has requested Regenicin to show cause why the case should not be dismissed. Regenicin’s response was due January 8, 2015 with a hearing scheduled for January 13, 2015. Regenicin requested and was granted a new hearing date of March 3, 2015 with the opposition due February 23, 2015.

 

On November 7, 2014, we entered into the Agreement with Amarantus, CCLG and Gordon & Rees. Under the Agreement, we have agreed to sell to Amarantus all of our rights and claims in the “Lonza Litigation.” These include all of our Cutanagen intellectual property rights and any Lonza manufacturing know-how technology. In addition, we have agreed to sell our PermaDerm® trademark and related intellectual property rights associated with it. The purchase price to be paid by Amarantus will consist of: (i) $3,500,000 in cash, and (ii) shares of common stock in Amarantus having a value of $3,000,000. A portion of the cash purchase price has been allocated to CCLG, who is our sole senior secured creditor.

 

The cash portion of the purchase price will be paid as follows:

 

At Closing:

 

$300,000 to Regenicin, Inc.

$200,000 to CCLG

 

On or before December 31, 2014:

 

$150,000 to Regenicin, Inc.

$100,000 to CCLG - this payment has not been received as of the filing of this report.

 

On January 31, 2015:

 

$2,550,000 to Regenicin, Inc.

$200,000 to CCLG

 

We intend to use the net proceeds of the transaction to fund development of cultured cell technology and to pursue approval of the products through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

 

The payments to CCLG, when completed, will satisfy in full our obligations owed to CCLG under its secured promissory note. The $3,000,000 in Amarantus common stock was satisfied by the issuance of 37,500,000 shares of Amarantus common stock from Amarantus to the Company. In addition to the purchase price, Amarantus will pay Gordon & Rees $450,000 at closing. The payment to Gordon & Rees will satisfy in full all obligations for litigation fees and costs owed to Gordon & Rees in connection with the Lonza Litigation.

 

In addition, we granted to Amarantus an exclusive five (5) year option to license any engineered skin designed for the treatment of patients designated as severely burned by the FDA developed by Regenicin. Amrantus can exercise this option at a cost of $10,000,000 plus a royalty of 5% on gross revenues in excess of $150 million.

Market Information

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “RGIN” on the OTCBB operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. Few market makers continue to participate in the OTCBB system because of high fees charged by FINRA. Consequently, market makers that once quoted our shares on the OTCBB system may no longer be posting a quotation for our shares. As of the date of this report, however, our shares are quoted by several market makers on the OTCQB. The criteria for listing on either the OTCBB or OTCQB are similar and include that we remain current in our SEC reporting.

 

Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell his securities in our company.

 

The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCQB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

9

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

As of January 8, 2015, we had 143,090,083 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by one hundred nine (109) shareholders of record, with others holding shares in street name.

 

Dividends

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

1.       We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;

2.       Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

We generated no revenues from September 6, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2014. We do not expect to generate revenues until we are able to obtain FDA approval of cell therapy and biotechnology products and thereafter successfully market and sell those products.

  

We incurred operating expenses of $725,895 for the year ended September 30, 2014, compared with operating expenses of $3,997,763 for the year ended September 30, 2013. Our operating expenses decreased in 2014 from 2013, and are compared as follows:

 

Operating Expenses September 30, 2013 September 30, 2014
Impairment of intangible asset $ 3,000,000 $
Legal and Accounting $ 352,773 $ 157,135 
Public Relations and Marketing Support $ 7,600 $  1,695
Salaries, Wages and Payroll Taxes $ 423,576 $  390,244
Consulting and Computer Support $ 3,600 $  2,100
Office Expenses and Miscellaneous $ (36,324) $ 8,190
Travel $ 38,620 $  18,927
Insurance $ 68,378 $  77,578
Website Expenses $ 1,693 $  1,775
Research and Development $ 80,000 $
Employee Benefits $ 57,847 $  40,695
Stock Based Compensation $ 0 $ 27,556

 

We incurred net other income of $37,017 for the year ended September 30, 2014, as compared to other expenses of $907,049 for the year ended September 30, 2013. Our other income and expenses for 2014 consisted of interest expenses of $232,379 and a gain on derivative liabilities of $269,396.  Our other expenses for 2013 consisted of interest expenses of $766,680 and a loss on derivative liabilities of $140,369. 

 

We incurred a loss before income tax of $688,878 for the year ended September 30, 2014, as compared with a net loss of $4,904,812 for the prior year. The primary reasons for our reduced net loss before taxes in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 were as follows: (1) for the year ended September 30, 2013, we took a one-time impairment charge on intangible assets of $3,000,000 (representing a total impairment of our license payment to Lonza), which was not repeated this year; (2) our interest expenses, which include amortization of debt discounts, were substantially smaller this year, and (3) we experienced a gain on derivative liabilities, rather than a loss as taken last year.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a provision for income tax benefits in the amount of $2,829,000. There was no provision for the year ended September 30, 2013. Footnote H to our financial statements should be reviewed for further information. Finally, we accrued preferred stock dividends of $70,800 during the year ended September 30, 2014, compared to $46,198 for the year ended September 30, 2013.

 

Our net income for the year ended September 30, 2014 was $2,069,322, compared to a net loss of $4,951,010 last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2014, we had cash of $492, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $49,462, and deferred income taxes of $2,829,000, for total current assets of $2,878,954. Our total current liabilities as of September 30, 2014 were $4,400,882. We had a working capital deficit of $1,524,194 as of September 30, 2014.

 

Operating activities used a net $211,845 in cash for the year ended September 30, 2014. Financing activities provided $189,837 for the year ended September 30, 2014 and consisted of $100,000 in proceeds from notes payable, $143,507 in advances from related parties, and $640 in proceeds from sale of common stock. These were offset by the repayment of the insurance premium financings of $52,220 and repayments of loans from related party in the amount of $2,090.

 

We have issued various promissory notes over the course of the last three fiscal years in order to continue funding our operations. The terms of these promissory notes are detailed in Note F to the financial statements accompanying this Annual Report. While this financing has been helpful in the short term to meet our financial obligations, we will need additional financing to fund our operations, continue with the FDA approval process, and implement our business plan over the long term.

 

For the near future, we believe that the net $3.5 million in cash to be received under the Asset Purchase Agreement with Amarantus, the potential of additional funding of up to $3 million to be received from sales of the Amarantus common stock granted to us under the Agreement (depending on the market value of the Amarantus stock), and the anticipated reversal of our $978,000 liability to Lonza, should enable us to fund our operations up to at least the initiation of the clinical trials on our Cultured Skin Substitute. We anticipate using the funding from the Asset Purchase Agreement to retire all our liabilities, including accrued payroll, officer’s loans and promissory notes. After the retirement of these liabilities, we anticipate that we will have approximately $1 million in working capital, which we estimate will be more than adequate to gets thru securing FDA Orphan Status.    

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred cumulative losses to date, expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, and have been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt and private sale of equity securities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities and the reduction of expenditures. In addition, the Company intends on using the proceeds from the Asset Sale to fund operations. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether we will be able to achieve these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” Under the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505, “Equity.” Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC 505.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted 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” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The amendments in ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance, and creates an ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: 

 

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

 

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

 

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. 

 

ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company’s has not yet determined the effect to the current consolidated financial statements by the adoption of ASU 2014-09. 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. 

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Regenicin, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Regenicin, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended.  The 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 audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the results of their operations and 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 that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses, expects to incur further losses in the development of its business and has been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt and private sale of equity securities.   This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note B. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REGENICIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE A - THE COMPANY

 

Windstar, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 6, 2007. On July 19, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Regenicin, Inc. (“Regenicin”). In September 2013, Regenicin formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of conducting research in the State of Georgia (together, the “Company”). The subsidiary has no activity since its formation due to the lack of funding.

 

The Company’s original business was the development of a purification device.  Such business was assigned to the Company’s former management in July 2010.

 

The Company adopted a new business plan and intended to develop and commercialize a potentially lifesaving technology by the introduction of tissue-engineered skin substitutes to restore the qualities of healthy human skin for use in the treatment of burns, chronic wounds and a variety of plastic surgery procedures.

 

The Company entered into a Know-How License and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Know-How SPA”) with Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (“Lonza Walkersville”) on July 21, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company paid Lonza Walkersville $3,000,000 and, in exchange, the Company was to receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the commercial sale of technology held by the Cutanogen Corporation (“Cutanogen”), a subsidiary of Lonza Walkersville. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company was entitled to receive certain related assistance and support from Lonza Walkersville upon payment of the $3,000,000. Under the Know-How SPA, once FDA approval was secured for the commercial sale of the technology, the Company would be entitled to acquire Cutanogen, Lonza Walkersville’s subsidiary, for $2,000,000 in cash.  

 

Unfortunately, after prolonged attempts to negotiate disputes with Lonza Walkersville failed, on September 30, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against Lonza Walkersville, Lonza Group Ltd. (“Lonza Group”) and Lonza America, Inc. (“Lonza America”) (collectively, the “Defendant”) in Fulton County Superior Court in the State of Georgia.

 

The Company alleged in the complaint that, because of the Defendant’s breaches and tortious conduct, that the Company lost fees paid to the Defendant, which the Defendant did not earn, and suffered consequential damages and lost opportunities. It should also be noted that the $3,000,000 initially paid to Lonza Walkersville, which was recorded as an intangible asset, was fully written off in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013. See Notes C and J.

 

On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc., (“Amarantus”). Under the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Amarantus all of its rights and claims in the litigation currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Lonza Walkersville and Lonza America, Inc. (the “Lonza Litigation”). This includes all of the Cutanagen intellectual property rights and any Lonza manufacturing know-how technology. In addition, the Company has agreed to sell the PermaDerm® trademark and related intellectual property rights associated with it. The purchase price to be paid by Amarantus will consist of: (i) $3,500,000 in cash, and (ii) shares of common stock in Amarantus having a value of $3,000,000. See Note K for a further discussion.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the transaction to fund development of cultured cell technology and to pursue approval of the products through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We intend to use some of the proceeds from our recent sale of assets to Amarantus to develop and commercialize our own new technology for cultured skin substitutes. We have been developing our own unique cultured skin substitute since we received Lonza’s termination notice.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation:

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regenicin and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Going Concern:

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative losses of approximately $11 million from inception, expects to incur further losses in the development of its business and has been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt and private sale of equity securities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities and the reduction of expenditures. In addition, the Company intends on using the proceeds from the Asset Sale to fund operations. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether the Company will be able to achieve these objectives. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

Development Stage Activities and Operations:

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation” (“ASU 2014-10”). ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficiency. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated and adopted ASU 2014-10 for the reporting period ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s consolidated financial statements will be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-10 primarily by the removal of inception-to-date information in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ deficiency.

 

Intangible assets:

 

Intangible assets, which include purchased licenses, patents and patent rights, are stated at cost and will be amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives based upon the pattern in which the expected benefits will be realized, or on a straight-line basis, whichever is greater (see Note C). Such amortization will begin once the Company has a saleable product. As discussed below in Note L, the Company sold its intangible assets on November 7, 2014.

 

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. In assessing recoverability, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and discount factors. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $-0- and $3,000,000 in the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (see Note C).

 

Research and development: 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Income (loss) per share:

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share give effect to dilutive convertible securities, options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period, only in periods in which such effect is dilutive. The following table summarizes the components of the income (loss) per common share calculation:

 

  Year Ended
September 30,
  2014  2013
Income (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic:     
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $2,069,322   $(4,951,010)
          
Weighted-average common shares outstanding  132,966,528    109,139,729 
          
Basic income (loss) per share $0.02   $(0.05)
          
Income (Loss) Per Common Share – Diluted:         
Net income (loss) $2,069,322   $(4,951,010)
          
Weighted-average common shares outstanding  132,966,528    109,139,729 
Convertible preferred stock  44,250,000    —   
Convertible debentures  14,209,256    —   
Weighted-average common shares outstanding and common share equivalents  191,425,784    109,139,729 
          
Diluted income (loss) per share $0.01   $(0.05)

 

F-7

The following securities have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

 

  Shares of Common Stock
  Issuable upon Conversion/Exercise
  as of September 30,
  2014  2013
Options  5,542,688    5,542,688 
Warrants  3,611,167    3,663,667 
Convertible preferred stock  —      17,700,000 
Convertible debentures  —      31,828,330 

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement:

 

The carrying value of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and all loans and notes payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets approximated their values as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 due to their short-term nature.

 

The Company issued notes payable that contained conversion features which were accounted for separately as derivative liabilities and measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in fair value are charged to other income (expenses) as appropriate. The fair value of the derivate liabilities was determined based on Level 2 inputs utilizing observable quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and observable quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not very active. Derivative liabilities totaled $5,164 and $438,779 as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

See Note F – Notes Payable – Convertible Promissory Notes for additional information.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Such estimation includes the selection of assumptions underlying the calculation of the fair value of options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” Under the fair value recognition provision of the ASC, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505, “Equity.” Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC 505.

 

Income Taxes:

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes," which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements.  The ASC 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.  The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

F-8

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted 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” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The amendments in ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance, and creates an ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company’s has not yet determined the effect to the current consolidated financial statements by the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE C - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

In July 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Lonza to purchase an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the FDA for the commercial sale of PermaDerm®.

The Company made an initial payment of $3,000,000 to Lonza to purchase this exclusive know-how license and assistance in gaining FDA approval. In conjunction with Lonza, the Company's management intended to create and implement a strategy to conduct clinical trials and assemble and present relevant information and data in order to obtain the necessary approvals. The $3,000,000 payment was recorded as an intangible asset.

 

After prolonged negotiations, the Company has been unable to resolve contractual and other disputes with Lonza. As a result, on September 30, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against Lonza and related entities. The complaint alleges that Lonza determined it would make more money on PermaDerm® if it was not approved by the FDA and that Lonza used certain proprietary information, which the Company had purchased, for at least 13 other companies. The allegations also included that Lonza utilized threats and coercion, including false claims of breach of contract and securities violations, in order to terminate the exclusive know-how license. As a result, the Company received neither the exclusive know-how license that Lonza had promised nor the benefits of the exclusive know-how license.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2013, due to ongoing disputes and pending any settlement of the lawsuit, the Company determined that the value of the intangible asset and related intellectual property had been fully impaired. As a result, the Company wrote down the value of the intangible asset to $0.

 

In August 2010, the Company paid $7,500 and obtained the rights to the trademarks PermaDerm® and TempaDerm® from KJR-10 Corp.

 

At both September 30, 2014 and 2013, intangible assets totaled $7,500. 

 

As discussed below in Note K, the Company sold its intangible assets on November 7, 2014.

 

NOTE D - ACCRUED EXPENSES

 

Accrued expenses consisted of the following:

 

  September 30,
  2014  2013
Registration penalty $250,203   $250,203 
Salaries and payroll taxes  1,163,389    792,907 
Professional fees  216,472    166,802 
Accrued dividends  251,242    180,442

John Weber, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, has made advances to the Company. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the loan balance was $122,100 and $28,100, respectively.

 

In March through September 2014 the Company received other advances totaling $35,696. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the loan balances were $36,996 and $1,300, respectively. 

 

At September 30, 2014 and 2013, loans payable - related parties totaled $205,817 and $64,400, respectively.

 

NOTE F - NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible Promissory Note:

 

In October 2012, the Company issued a promissory note to a financial institution (the “Lender”) to borrow up to a maximum of $225,000. The note bears interest so that the Company would repay a maximum of $250,000 at maturity, which correlated to an effective rate of 10.59%. In October 2012, the Company received $50,000 upon the signing of the note and then in January through September 2013, the Company received additional proceeds totaling $100,000. In February 2014 the Company received an additional $25,000. Material terms of the note include the following:

 

1. The Lender may make additional loans in such amounts and at such dates at its sole discretion.

2. The maturity date of each loan is one year after such loan is received.

3. The original interest discount is prorated to each loan received.

4. Principal and accrued interest is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lesser of $0.069 or 65%-70% (as defined) of the lowest trading price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion.

5. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both parties, at no time can the Lender convert any amount of the principal and/or accrued interest owed into common stock that would result in the Lender owning more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding.

6. There is a one-time interest payment of 10% of amounts borrowed that is due at the maturity date of each loan.

7. At all times during which the note is convertible, the Company shall reserve from its authorized and unissued common stock to provide for the issuance of common stock under the full conversion of the promissory note. The Company will at all times reserve at least 13,000,000 shares of its common stock for conversion.

8. The Company agreed to include on its next registration statement it files, all shares issuable upon conversion of balances due under the promissory note. Failure to do so would result in liquidating damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the promissory note but not less than $25,000.

               

The Company is accreting the original issue discount (“OID”) on the initial loan over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. For the year ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the accretion amounted to $5,450 and $8,405, respectively.

 

The conversion feature contained in the promissory note is considered to be an embedded derivative. The Company bifurcated the conversion feature and recorded a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the derivative liability equal to its estimated fair value. Such amount was also recorded as a discount to the convertible promissory note and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. For the year ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization of the debt discount amounted to $64,675 and $64,125, respectively.

The note and accrued interest are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of the lower of $0.04 per share or 80% of the average of the lowest three trading prices in the 20 trading days previous to the conversion but the number of shares that can be issued is limited as defined in the note agreement. In addition, the Company issued a five-year warrant to purchase an additional 50,000 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of the lower of $0.04 per share or 80% of the average of the lowest three trading prices in the 20 trading days previous to the conversion.

See Note K.

 

The conversion features contained in the promissory note and the warrant are considered to be embedded derivatives. The Company bifurcated the conversion features and recorded derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE H - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company did not incur current tax expense for both the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

At September 30, 2014, the Company had available approximately $7.1 million of net operating loss carry forwards which expire in the years 2028 through 2033. 

 

The provision for income tax benefits of $2,440,000 for the year ended September 30, 2014 represents deferred taxes. There was no provision for the year ended September 30, 2013.

 

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at September 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

 

  2014  2013
Net operating loss carry forwards $2,850,535   $2,698,087 
Intangible assets  1,200,000    1,200,000 
Stock based compensation  355,265    355,265 
Accrued expenses  539,912    396,232 
Total deferred tax assets  4,945,712    4,649,584 
Valuation allowance  (2,116,712)   (4,649,584)
Net deferred tax assets $2,829,000   $—   

 

Due to the uncertainty of their realization, a valuation allowance has been established for a portion of the income tax benefit for these deferred tax assets. The decrease in the valuation allowance was the result of the estimated tax benefits that will result from the Sale Agreement (see Note K).

 

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s income tax rate using the federal statutory rate to the actual income tax rate as of September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

  2014  2013
Federal tax rate  (34)%   (34)%
Effect of state taxes  (6)%   (6)%
Reversal of valuation allowance  412%   0%
Permanent differences  3%   5%
Net operating loss carry forward  37%   35%
Total  412%   0%

 

At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company files its federal income tax returns under a statute of limitations. The 2011 through 2014 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities. The Company has not filed any of its state income tax returns since inception. Due to recurring losses, management believes that once such returns are filed, the Company would incur state minimum tax liabilities that were not deemed material to accrue.

Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have a right to a dividend (pro-rata to each holder) based on a percentage of the gross revenue earned by the Company in the United States, if any, and the number of outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as follows: Year 1 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .03 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. Year 2 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .02 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. Year 3 - Total Dividend to all Series B holders = .01 x Gross Revenue in the U.S. At September 30, 2014, no shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding.

2010 Incentive Plan:

 

On December 15, 2010, the board of directors approved the Regenicin, Inc. 2010 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares and performance units to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and consultants, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, and other benefits. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 4,428,360 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On January 6, 2011, the Company approved the issuance of 885,672 options to each of the four members of the board of directors at an exercise price of $0.62 per share. The options originally vested over a three-year period and expire on December 22, 2015. On May 11, 2011, the terms of the options were amended to allow for immediate vesting. On December 10, 2013, the exercise price of the options was changed to $0.035 per share. As a result, the Company revalued the options as required under generally accepted accounting principles and recognized an expense of $27,556. The options were revalued utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price: $0.035 - $0.62; expected volatility: 20.71%; risk-free rate: 0.13% - 0.14%; expected term: 1 year.

The expected life is the number of years that the Company estimates, based upon history, that warrants will be outstanding prior to exercise or forfeiture. Expected life is determined using the “simplified method” permitted by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The stock volatility factor is based on the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index. The Company did not use the volatility rate for Company’s common stock as the Company’s common stock had not been trading for the sufficient length of time to accurately compute its volatility when these options were issued.

NOTE J - CONTINGENCY

 

Lonza Transaction:    

 

The Company entered into the Know-How SPA with Lonza Walkersville on July 21, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company paid Lonza Walkersville $3,000,000 and, in exchange, the Company was to receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the FDA for the commercial sale of the Cutanogen technology. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company was entitled to receive certain related assistance and support from Lonza Walkersville upon payment of the $3,000,000. Under the Know-How SPA, once FDA approval was secured for the commercial sale of the technology, the Company would be entitled to acquire Cutanogen, Lonza Walkersville’s subsidiary, for $2,000,000 in cash.  

 

On September 30, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against the Defendant in Fulton County Superior Court in the State of Georgia.

 

The Company continued to negotiate for almost six months after Lonza paid the previous shareholders of Cutanogen to settle their lawsuit. The Company attempted to acquire the Cutanogen technology from Lonza in lieu of a license but to no avail. The Company has retained a national law firm to represent its interests in this case.

 

In the complaint, the Company alleged that it entered into a Know-How SPA with Lonza Walkersville, on July 21, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the Know-How SPA, the Company paid Lonza Walkersville $3,000,000 and, in exchange, the Company was to receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the FDA. Under the Know-How SPA, once FDA approval was secured for the commercial sale of the technology, the Company would be entitled to acquire Cutanogen, Lonza Walkersville’s subsidiary, for $2,000,000 in cash.

 

However, as the Company alleged in the complaint, the Company believes the Defendant determined that it would make more money on the Cutanogen technology if it was not approved by the FDA and, unbeknownst to the Company, the Company believes Lonza Walkersville never intended to fulfill its obligations under the Know-How SPA. In this regard, the Company alleges in the complaint that Lonza Walkersville used certain proprietary know-how and information for at least thirteen (13) other companies. The Company alleges in the complaint that this is the same certain proprietary know-how and information the Company had purchased for $3 million under the exclusive Know-How SPA.

 

Further, as the Company alleges in the complaint, the Defendant utilized threats and coercion against the Company throughout the contract term, including false claims of breach and securities violations, in order to attempt to terminate the Know-How SPA unilaterally. As a result, the Company received neither the exclusive license the Defendant had promised, nor the benefit of the exclusive proprietary know-how. Therefore, the Company alleges in the complaint that, because of the Defendant’s breaches and tortious conduct, the Company lost the fees paid to the Defendant, which the Defendant did not earn, and suffered consequential damages and lost opportunities. In addition, the Company did not receive compensation from Lonza Walkersville for the time spent working on the Armed Forces Institute of Regenitive Medicine (AFIRM) grant, nor the time spent working on the Department of Defense (DOD) contract, which the Company was contractually supposed to be paid. The Company also will not receive the expected financial benefit from the DOD contract to help offset the cost of the clinical trials going forward. Lonza’s failure to secure a renewal of the DOD contract will have a significant financial impact on the Company. It should also be noted that the $3 million initially paid to Lonza, which was recorded as an intangible asset, has been fully written off in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013.

 

The case has been removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by the Defendant. In conjunction with its removal of the litigation, the Defendant filed a motion asking the Federal Court to either dismiss the complaint or to require the Company to file additional details providing more specific information about the Company’s claims. The Company has opposed that motion and filed its own motion asking the Federal Court to remand the case back to the Fulton County Superior Court.

 

The case was then transferred from Georgia to New Jersey for the convenience of the majority of the witnesses in the case and because the Court found that New Jersey had more significant and stronger ties to the parties than Georgia.  In 2013, the Defendant filed a Motion to Dismiss.  In February 2014, the Company successfully defeated the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss.  In the February 2014 Order, the Court noted that   “[a]fter a single reading of the complaint the Court was able to understand Regenicin’s general averments.”  The Court further stated, “[c]onsidering their relationship and Regenicin’s numerous allegations, a lengthy pleading is probably unavoidable.”  The Court then ordered the Company to amend the Complaint and noted, “[t]here are three Defendants in this action, and Regenicin must be more specific in ascribing its allegations among them Regenicin must replead its complaint to attribute its allegations to specific Defendants.” In accordance with the February 2014 Order, the Company amended its Complaint to add additional details regarding the various misrepresentations that each Lonza entity allegedly made to Regenicin.  A month later, the Defendant filed a Second Motion to Dismiss.  The Company responded in opposition to the Defendant’s Second Motion to Dismiss and is awaiting the New Jersey District Court’s ruling on the Motion.  The Company files notices of appearance and pro hac admissions of New Jersey counsel.

 

On November 7, 2014, the Company sold all of its rights and claims in this lawsuit to Amarantus (see Note K).

F-19

 

NOTE K - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

 

On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Sale Agreement with Amarantus, CCLG and Gordon & Rees, LLP (“Gordon & Rees”). Under the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Amarantus: all of its rights and claims in the litigation currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Lonza Walkersville and Lonza America, Inc. These include all of the Cutanagen intellectual property rights and any Lonza manufacturing know-how technology. In addition, they have agreed to sell their PermaDerm® trademark and related intellectual property rights associated with it. The purchase price to be paid by Amarantus will consist of: (i) $3,500,000 in cash, and (ii) shares of common stock in Amarantus having a value of $3,000,000. A portion of the cash purchase price has been allocated to repay debt.

 

The cash portion of the sale price will be paid as follows:

1.$300,000 to the Company and $200,000 to CCLG at closing. Both amounts were received.
2.$150,000 to the Company and $100,000 to CCLG on or before December 31, 2014. The Company received the $150,000.
3.$2,550,000 to the Company and $200,000 to CCLG on January 31, 2015.

 

The payments to CCLG, when completed, will satisfy in full the obligations owed to CCLG under its secured promissory note. The $3,000,000 in Amarantus common stock was satisfied by the issuance of 37,500,000 shares of Amarantus common stock from Amarantus to the Company. In addition to the sale price, Amarantus will pay Gordon & Rees $450,000 at closing. The payment to Gordon & Rees will satisfy in full all obligations for litigation fees and costs owed to Gordon & Rees in connection with the Lonza Litigation.

 

In addition, the Company granted to Amarantus an exclusive five (5) year option to license any engineered skin designed for the treatment of patients designated as severely burned by the FDA developed by the Company. Amrantus can exercise this option at a cost of $10,000,000 plus a royalty of 5% on gross revenues in excess of $150 million.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

No events occurred requiring disclosure under Item 304 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being September 30, 2014. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending September 30, 2014: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

17

 

Remediation of Material Weakness

 

We are unable to remedy our controls related to the inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management until we receive financing to hire additional employees.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors or all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements, due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns may occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

 

Committees of the Board

 

Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.

  

Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our CEO and director, Randall McCoy, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Code of Ethics is attached to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 as Exhibit 14.1.

Item 11. Executive Compensation 

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Employment Agreement with Randall McCoy

 

On July 16, 2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Randall McCoy. The employment agreement has a three-year term that automatically extends in three-year increments unless notice of non-renewal is given by either party at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current term.

 

The July 16, 2010, employment agreement provided for an initial annual base salary of $250,000. Under an addendum to the employment agreement, however, dated August 2, 2010, Mr. McCoy will earn an annual base salary of $125,000 until such time as we achieve a positive net income for the preceding calendar quarter as determined in accordance with GAAP and reported in our financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Immediately upon our attaining such positive net income, Mr. McCoy’s annual base salary will be increased to $250,000 as stated in the July 16, 2010 employment agreement.

 

The annual base salary will be reviewed each year by our board of directors (or compensation committee, if we then have one), but cannot be decreased from the amount in effect in the previous year. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. McCoy is eligible for an annual bonus determined by our board of directors (or compensation committee, if any). The employment agreement also provides that Mr. McCoy is eligible to participate in our equity incentive plans and other employee benefit programs.

 

Mr. McCoy’s employment agreement imposes on him post-termination non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality obligations. Under the agreement, he agrees not to compete with our business in the United States, subject to certain limited exceptions, for a period of one year after termination of his employment. Mr. McCoy further agrees, for a period of one year after termination of his employment, to refrain from (i) soliciting, inducing, encouraging or attempting to induce or encourage any employee, contractor or consultant of the Company to terminate his or her employment or relationship with Company, or to breach any other obligation to Company; and (ii) soliciting, interfering with, disrupting, altering or attempting to disrupt or alter the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company and any other person including, without limitation, any consultant, contractor, customer, potential customer, or supplier of the Company. He also agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information of our company, and assign to us any inventions which pertain to or relate to our business or any of the work or businesses carried on by us that are discovered, conceived, reduced to practice, developed, made or produced by him during and as a result of his employment.

 

The employment agreement provides for payments and benefits upon termination of employment in addition to those previously accrued. If Mr. McCoy is terminated due to death, the salary payable to Mr. McCoy thereunder (in addition to items previously accrued, but excluding medical plan and other benefits) shall continue to be paid at the then current rate for three (3) months after the termination of employment in accordance with normal Company payroll practices. In addition, any bonuses actually earned prior to the termination (including, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, a pro-rated amount of any annual bonus for the portion of the fiscal year during which termination takes place) shall be paid to Mr. McCoy.

 

In the event of the termination of Mr. McCoy’s employment due to disability, the salary payable thereunder (inclusive of paid medical plan then in effect and available, if any) shall continue to be paid at the then current rate for three (3) months after the termination of employment in accordance with normal Company payroll practices; provided, however, that the Company may deduct from such payments the amount of any and all disability insurance benefits paid during such three-month period with respect to Mr. McCoy that were paid for by the Company during any period for which payment was made by the Company during the term of the and prior to the termination. In addition, any bonuses actually earned prior to the termination (including, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, a pro-rated amount of any annual bonus for the portion of the fiscal year during which termination takes place) which shall be paid to Mr. McCoy.

Other Employees

 

On October 4, 2010, we entered into a written employment agreement with Chris Hadsall. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the employment agreement:

 

-  Mr. Hadsall will serve as Chief Operating Officer of our company for a period of three years;

-  Mr. Hadsall will earn a base salary of $120,000 for the first 12 months, and will be entitled to increases thereafter as determined by our board of directors;

The agreement with Mr. Hadsall terminated on October 4, 2013. Mr. Hadsall is still an officer of the Company but is not actively participating in management at the present time and is not taking a salary at due to lack of funds. If we are able to raise money, we hope to reinstate his employment agreement. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence 

 

Other than the transactions described below and under the heading “Executive Compensation” (or with respect to which such information is omitted in accordance with SEC regulations), since October 1, 2012 there have not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:

 

1.Our principal executive offices are located in Little Falls, New Jersey. The headquarters is located in the offices of McCoy Enterprises LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. McCoy. The office is attached to his residence but has its own entrances, restroom and kitchen facilities.

 

2.We also maintain an office in Pennington, New Jersey, which is the materials and testing laboratory. This office is owned by Materials Testing Laboratory, and the principal is an employee.

 

3.We have an employment agreement with our CEO, Randall McCoy, as discussed above.

 

4.       In October 2011 and again in May 2014, Craig Eagle, one of our directors, advanced a total of $38,221 to us. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the loan balance was $38,221 and $35,000, respectively.

 

5.       During the year ended September 30, 2014, Randall McCoy, our Chief Executive Officer, made advances to us. The loans do not bear interest and are due on demand. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the loan balance was $8,500 and $0, respectively.

Director Independence

 

We are not a “listed issuer” within the meaning of Item 407 of Regulation S-K and there are no applicable listing standards for determining the independence of our directors. Applying the definition of independence set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., we believe that Joseph Rubinfeld and Craig Eagle  are independent directors. 

 

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

We do not have an audit committee. Our Board of Directors pre-approves all services, including both audit and non-audit services, provided by our independent accountants. For audit services, each year the independent auditor provides our Board of Directors with an engagement letter outlining the scope of the audit services proposed to be performed during the year, which must be formally accepted by the Board of Directors before the audit commences. The independent auditor also submits an audit services fee proposal, which also must be approved by the Board of Directors before the audit commences.

 

Aggregate fees for professional services rendered for the Company by Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger & Guttilla, P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are set forth below:

 

Financial Statements for the Year Ended September 30 Audit Services Audit Related Fees Tax Fees Other Fees
2014 $  91,000 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0
2013 $ 94,000 $ 0   $ 0 $ 0

 

Audit Fees were for professional services rendered for the audits of our financial statements, quarterly review of the financial statements included in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, consents, and other assistance required to complete the year-end audit of the financial statements.

 

Audit-Related Fees were for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements and not reported under the caption Audit Fees. 

 

Tax Fees were for professional services related to tax compliance, tax authority audit support and tax planning.

 

All Other Fees include any other fees charged that are not otherwise specified.
