Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
The following information contains certain forward looking statements that anticipate future trends or events. These statements are based on certain assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks including but not limited to the risks of increased competition in the Company's industry and other risks detailed in the Company's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Accordingly, actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the predictions contained herein.
During the three months ended November 30, 2001, the Company experienced a net loss of $45,530, as compared to a net loss of $30,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2000. In the first quarter of 2001, the Company experienced improvements in bioactivity and stability. As such, the Company increased its notes payable to shareholders to $460,000, as compared to notes payable to shareholders of $260,000 in August, 2001.
Reference is made to Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis" included in the Company's registration statement on Form 10-SB for the year ended August 31, 2001, on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The following analysis and discussion pertains to the Company's results of operations for the three month period ended November 30, 2001, compared to the results and operations for the period ended November 30, 2000.
THREE MONTHS ENDED August 31, 2001 and 2000
Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001, totaled $127,562, and the Company experienced a net loss of $127,562 against no revenues, as compared to a net loss of $126,944 against no revenues for 2000. As was the case for the year 2000, the increase in operating expenses were a result of increased office expenses and transfer agent fees.
The earnings per share (fully diluted) was a net loss of $0.004 for the three month period ended November 30, 2001 compared to a net loss of $0.003 for the three month period ended November 30, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company has financed its cash flow and operations from grants received from various organizations and notes payable from shareholders. Cash provided by net earnings which occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2001 was $220,000. This resulted in a total cash and cash equivalent position of $253,200 at the end of the period.
The Company has no external sources of liquidity in the form of credit lines from banks. Management believes that its available cash will be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital requirements through December 31, 2002. Management further believes that available cash will be sufficient to implement the Company's research and development plans. No investment banking agreements are in place and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise capital in the future should that become necessary.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
Reference is made to Risk Factors in Part 1. Item 1. Included in the Company's registration statement on Form 10-SB for the year ended August 31, 2001, on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of November 30, 2001. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk.
The Company's interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. and Canadian interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. and Canadian interest rates affect the interest paid on the Company's cash equivalents as well as the interest paid on debt.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
The Company operates primarily in Canada. Therefore, the Company's business and financial condition is sensitive to currency exchange rates or any other restriction imposed on its currency.

(a Nevada company)
Notes to Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
November 30, 2001
1. Operations
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 28, 1998. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Newtech Resources Ltd., in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management of the Company, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at November 30, 2001, its operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000 and cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000.
The balance sheet at August 31, 2001 has been derived from the Company's audited financial statements as of that date. These financial statements and the notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-SB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or the year ended August 31, 2002.
2. Significant accounting policies
- (a)
- Use of estimates
- (b)
- Loss per share
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements, the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
- (c)
- Income taxes
The Company reports loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Net loss per share-basic is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company has no common stock equivalents, no difference exists between basic and diluted earnings per share.
- (d)
- Licence fee
The Company follows the policies of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 109, Accounting for Income taxes which requires use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Future income tax assets are evaluated and if realization is not considered "more likely than not", a valuation allowance is provided.
- (e)
- Financial instruments
The licence fee is recorded at cost and will be amortized over a 5 year period, upon commencement of sales.
The fair values of the financial instruments approximate their carrying value.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash deposits.
Cash balances are held principally at one financial institution and, may at times, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates its risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. Recoverability is dependent upon the performance of the institution.
3. Licence Fee.
The Company acquired from Kaizen Food Corporation, the exclusive North American rights to market, sell and distribute technology referred to as "Modified Cystatins". As condition of the license agreement, the Company is to pay cash or arrange financing in the amount of $40,000 on June 30, 2001 and an additional $2,000,000 on June 30, 2002.
4. Short term borrowings
| Nov. 30, 2001 | August 31, 2001 | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Notes payable to shareholders, Bearing interest at a rate of 10% | $ | 460,000 | $ | 260,000 |
The note payable to a shareholder is due on demand and bears interest at 10% per annum.
5. Share capital
In July 1998, the Company issued 2,750,000 shares of its Common Stock to its initial shareholders for cash consideration of $2,750 ($0.001 per share).
In February 1999, the Company issued 8,250,000 shares of its Common Stock for cash consideration of $82,500 ($0.01 per share)
In March 1999, the Company issued 60,000 shares of its Common Stock for cash consideration of $150,000 ($2.50 per share)
There are no warrants or options to purchase common stock as at November 30, 2001.
6. Related party transactions and management services
Joist Management Ltd. is related by management contract to provide administrative and general office services to the Company. None of the shareholders, officers or directors of Joist Management Ltd. are shareholders of Newtech Resources Ltd. The Company paid management fees of $30,000 and $30,000 for the periods ended November 30, 2001 and November 30, 2000 respectively.
7. Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in this regard is to seek additional funding through equity and/or debt and upon achievement of scale-up to commercial production levels, commencing sales. Initially these sales will be made to markets, such as research laboratories, where FDA approval is not required. The operating expenses of the Company are
expected to be lower with the reduction of startup costs associated with legal, accounting and consulting.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company's office space is provided to it on a month to month basis by its management company and is included in its management fee.
