OVERVIEW
Corporate Background - Reverse Merger - Acquisition
BioCube, Inc. (formerly Alliance Network Communications Holdings, Inc.) (the "Company") is a development stage company. The Company was incorporated in Delaware. The Company plans to research, design, manufacture, market and distribute an environmentally safe aerosol based decontamination system. Its prior business of developing and marketing surge protectors and other electrical devices was abandoned in the quarter ended April 30, 2011. There were no related costs associated with the abandonment of that business.
On October 12, 2010, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of BioCube, Inc., a Nevada corporation, from its shareholders in exchange for 8,750,000 shares of the common stock of the Company valued at par of $0.001 per share. As a result of the transaction, BioCube, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was closed based upon a Share Acquisition Agreement dated June 24, 2010 between the Company and BioCube, Inc., filed as Exhibit 10 to the Current Report for the Company filed on Form 8-K on October12, 2010.
As a result of the acquisition of BioCube, Inc. the Company operated through two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, ANC and BioCube. On December 20, 2010, the Company
filed a Certificate of Ownership with the Delaware Secretary of State under
Section 267 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to merge its two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alliance Network Communications, Inc. and BioCube,
Inc., into it, with the Company as the surviving entity. As part of the filing,
the corporate name was changed to BioCube, Inc. and its stock trading symbol
became BICB.
Business Plan
We are a development stage company which plans to research, design, manufacture, market and distribute an environmentally safe decontamination system, utilizing an aerosol-based delivery method. We are collaborating with our Russian research partners to complete the development and commercialization of an environmentally safe decontamination system, utilizing an aerosol-based delivery method. BioCube has also entered into a licensing agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute of Richland, Washington, to sub-license technology contained in certain rights of Batelle in patents relating to micro-aerosol based decontamination methods, which are complimentary to the technology of BioCube. This system has demonstrated effective results in handling of microbial and fungal cells, spores, and viruses that are the core of such infections as MRSA, Avian Flu, Swine Flu and common molds.
Hospitals struggle with the control of infectious diseases and continue to look for effective, environmentally friendly and cost-effective means of dealing with this pervasive problem. BioCube intends to focus on this existing market need for decontamination of patient rooms, operating theaters, medical equipment and furniture, which exists in over 5,000 hospitals and nearly 1 million beds in the U.S. healthcare system, as well as the many other uses of a similar decontamination solution.
BioCube will focus on the following target markets:
-- Healthcare (hospital, nursing homes)
-- Travel (airplanes, cruise ships, mobile homes)
-- Mold remediation
-- Schools
-- Animal farming
-- Agriculture
On October 14, 2011, we were notified that the license arrangement for the technology underlying the decontamination unit had been terminated for non-payment, a result which has disrupted our business plan. While we are in discussions with the licensor to reinstate the license, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. As a result of the termination, we recorded an impairment loss of $24,000, representing the remaining unamortized acquisition cost for the technology license.
BioCube believes that its decontamination technology holds significant promise as a long-term solution to a global problem. BioCube's objective is to help create an effective technology that will allow for rapid, inexpensive and environmentally safe remediation of buildings that have been contaminated by a biological agent, thus allowing a speedy return to a state of normalcy.
Results of Operations
Three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011
During the quarters ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no revenues as its activities principally involved its planning for the execution of its business plan. Expenses incurred in the three months ended April 30, 2012 were consulting expense of $30,000, general and administrative of $168, professional fees of $7,046, and net interest expense of $8,183, resulting in a net loss of $45,397 compared to April 30, 2011 expenses relating to consulting expenses of $15,000, officer salaries of $45,000, general and administrative of $2,516, finance costs of $8,456, interest expense, net of $5,229, and gain on conversion of $344,549, resulting in net income of $268,348.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company may not be able to execute its current business plan and fund business operations long enough to achieve profitability without obtaining financing. The Company has received interim financing from a related party. The Company's ultimate success may depend upon its ability to raise capital. There can be no assurance that funds will be available to the Company when needed from any source or; if available, on terms that are favorable to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Except as set forth under Part II Item 1 - Legal Proceedings, there are no pending or threatened legal proceedings against the Company. In the opinion of management, on the advice of counsel, we have made adequate provision for potential liabilities, if any, arising from potential claims arising from litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings. In connection with the sale of the Company's Halcyon Jet subsidiary to the Company's former Chief Executive Officer the Company was indemnified by the buyer against any liability which may arise from the above litigation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. QUALITITATIVE AND QUALITIATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company is in the process of implementing disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ''Exchange Act''), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of April 30, 2012, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an assessment, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedure and concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2012, because of the material weakness described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness identified during management's assessment was the lack of sufficient resources with SEC, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and tax accounting expertise. This control deficiency did not result in adjustments to the Company's interim financial statements. However, this control deficiency could result in a material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the Company's interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including detailed validation work with regard to balance sheet account balances, additional analysis on income statement amounts and managerial review of all significant account balances and disclosures in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to ensure that the Company's Quarterly Report and the financial statements forming part thereof are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended April 30, 2012, there were no changes in our system of internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In September 2008, Jet One Group, Inc. ("Jet One") commenced an action against Halcyon Jets Holdings, Inc., the Company's predecessor, and several of our former officers, directors and employees in the United States District Court for the southern district of New York, alleging, among other matters, that the Company's predecessor fraudulently induced Jet One to enter into a Letter of Intent to acquire Jet One's business. The Complaint alleged that the Company violated the federal Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the New York consumer fraud and Business law statutes and committed various common law torts, and sought compensatory damages of $15 million and treble or punitive damages of $45 million. On August 14, 2009, the Court dismissed the complaint without prejudice to Jet One's right to re-file the lawsuit.
On or about October 28, 2009, Jet One Group filed a new action against the Company's predecessor, its former subsidiary and the other defendants in the matter discussed above, in the Supreme Court of New York ("Nassau County Action"), which repeats the factual allegations of the dismissed federal court complaint and asserts claims for conversion, fraud, tortious interference with contract and violation of the state consumer fraud statute. The new complaint seeks compensatory damages of $15 million, attorneys' fees of $100,000 and punitive damages against each of the defendants in the amount of $45 million.
Separately, the former subsidiary filed an action against Jet One and its principals in the Supreme Court of New York in which the former subsidiary alleges that the Complaint in Jet One's Federal Court Action contains false and defamatory statements regarding the former subsidiary and that Jet One filed its suit for the sole purpose of circulating a press release publicizing the false and defamatory allegations. Jet One moved to dismiss the suit for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, but this motion was denied by the court and the denial was affirmed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York in February 2010. On March 19, 2010, the Company's former subsidiary dismissed its complaint without prejudice.
On March 22, 2010, all the defendants in the Nassau County Action filed a Verified Answer, Counterclaims and Third-Party Complaint denying any liability to Jet One. In addition, the Company and the former subsidiary re-asserted the defamation claims that had previously been asserted against Jet One and its principals in the discontinued case described above; and the Company asserted a breach of contract claim against Jet One and its principals relating to a $150,000 promissory note executed in favor of its predecessor by Jet One and personally guaranteed by Jet One's principals.
There has been no action in the matter since the filings in March 2010 and Management does not believe that there is any risk of material liability from the action.
Except as set forth above, there are no other pending or threatened legal proceedings against the Company. Based on the advice of counsel, it is management's opinion that we have made adequate provision for potential liabilities, if any, arising from potential claims arising from litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings. In connection with the sale of the Company's Halcyon Jet subsidiary to the Company's former Chief Executive Officer the Company was indemnified by the buyer against any liability which may arise from the above litigation.
