ANTICUS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010
(EXPRESSED IN U.S. FUNDS)
(UNAUDITED)
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on May 1, 2002. On August 19, 2004, the Company effected a 3:1 forward stock split. On November 18, 2004, the Company effected a 3:1 forward stock split. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect the forward stock splits.
| b) | Development stage activities |
The Company is a development stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) in the FASB ASC 915-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
The Company continues to develop its business pursuant to its exclusive world-wide license to convert waste materials from beer, soft drink and cheese manufacturers into yeast.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $3,384,415 for the period from inception, (May 1, 2002) to December 31, 2010, and has no sales. The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company is actively seeking additional funding through the issuance of convertible debentures, private placements and loans. It is the Company’s intention to bring a pilot plant into operation as soon as possible. This will allow the Company to manufacture its ow n products and start generating revenues. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
| d) | Unaudited Interim Financial Statements |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the o pinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six months ended December 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2011.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010
(EXPRESSED IN U.S. FUNDS)
(UNAUDITED)
2 | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Green Yeast Canada Inc., incorporated in August 2008.
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
b) | Cash and cash equivalents |
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less, plus all certificates of deposit.
Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Where applicable, dilutive loss per share is equal to that of basic loss per share as the effects of stock options and warrants have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive.
d) | | Fair Value Measurements |
FASB ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, is effective for financial assets and liabilities in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for non-financial assets and liabilities in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10 for financial assets and liabilities with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the application of FASB ASC 820-10 on the non-financial assets and liabilities found on its consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC 820-10 applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. FASB ASC 820-10 requires new disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to FASB ASC 820-10. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.

e) | | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
| The table below presents the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The disclosure excludes leases. |
The fair value represents management’s best estimates based on a range of methodologies and assumptions. The carrying value of receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business and the receivable from taxing authorities approximate fair value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization.

The management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
As used in this current report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us”, the “Company” and “Anticus” refer to Anticus International Corporation.
Background
Anticus International Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “Anticus”) was incorporated on May 1, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada, and has a fiscal year end of June 30. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not realized any revenues from its planned operations. Anticus International Corporation has never declared bankruptcy, has never been in receivership, and has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
We hold an exclusive license to the microbiological process known as “ProlactisTM”. The process provides for the bioconversion of lactose and other simple sugars into high protein biomass, literally transforming waste and by-products into water and yeast to be used in animal nutrition. The ProlactisTM process bioreactor is patent-protected in Poland (WYN: (11) 198449) and has entered national phase examination in the US (US 20050037452, 23/09/2004 10/488110). In Canada, patent number 2,458,671 was granted o n June 1, 2010. The additional know-how and improvements to the process are left out of the patent since they are considered trade secrets. Patenting fees are covered by the Company through its licensing agreement with Redal Inc., while patents remain with the inventors
The ProlactisTM process provides, through the use of a novel type of bioreactor, for the microbial bioconversion of lactose and other fermentable carbohydrates (sugars), into a high quality protein biomass, literally transforming certain food production waste and by-products into both water and commercially desirable yeast called Kluyveromyces marxianus. The ProlactisTM process was developed by Jacques Goulet, Ph.D. , Agr, President of Costal Inc. and professor at Laval University in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, by Michel Deblois, President of Michel Deblois Technologies Inc. and engineer, and by Lucien Pomerleau, M.Sc., Agr., and President of Redal, Inc. The yeast strain generated by this process as part of the Company’s license, is Kluyveromyces marxianus, and the remaining water effluent is suitable for simple disposal into municipal wastewater systems.
The Company has completed the proof of concept and the initial testing of the ProlactisTM process using whey permeates as the raw material. The next developmental stage is to build and operate a semi-industrial plant (single reactor) for final pre-commercialization testing. This scale-up from the current pilot plant will allow the company to carry out, among other things, the comprehensive optimization of the various production parameters so as to maximize yields and establish the complete quality assurance program for the end product(s). This semi-industrial unit will also function as a technological showcase.
On August 8, 2008, Green Yeast Canada Inc. (Levure Verte Canada Inc. in French) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, with a registered office in Quebec, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Anticus. The purpose of Green Yeast Canada Inc. is to undertake research & development activities and operations in Canada. We commenced these activities effective January 1, 2010. We intend to change the name of our Company to Green Yeast Corporation at some time in the future. Our website, www.greenyeast.com, refers to Anticus International Corporation’s operations as undertaken by Green Yeast Canada Inc., in addition to information on the Company. Information provided on our website, however, is not part of this repor t and is not incorporated herein.
Principal Products and Services and their Markets
The ProlactisTM Process for Yeast Production.
ProlactisTM
The very essence of this process relies on the ability of yeasts to capture and assimilate certain components present in liquid agrifood production effluents. The main chemical elements required are carbon and nitrogen in forms which yeast can metabolize inside a unique design reactor tower in order to propagate in a continuous mode. Several types of such industrial effluents contain either nitrogen or carbon or both. Those by-products have little or no value and may even represent a serious and costly disposal problem. However, yeast manufactured using these raw materials can be marketed ‘as is’ or used as base for subsequent extraction of strategic compounds. For the latter scenario, value depends on the level of technology involved and can lead to end uses as diverse as animal health/nutrition and human pharmaceuticals.
The process itself for an individual ‘reactor’ consists in inoculating a tower with a yeast strain which adheres and fully coats the internal surfaces within 10 to 12 days. Thereafter, nutrients are directly fed, on a 24/7 basis, to the yeast by continuous gentle dispersion of whey or other relevant carbohydrate sources from the top of the tower. As the liquid flows downward, key nutrients are absorbed by the yeast cells which then multiply by mitosis and fall by gravity into the collecting system at the bottom of the reactor. The yeast cells are subsequently separated using centrifugation or another suitable method. Generally, the resulting concentration of yeast is around 3%, with variations being a function of the raw material supplied. The remaining post-separation liquid is an aqueous effluent of low COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand - which is a measure of the level of this type of pollutant in the effluent), the reduction ranging from 65% to 95% of the original levels.
Principles of yeast manufacturing have been known for a long time. However, the combination of process and hardware licensed by the Company allows for the economical and efficient processing of ‘diluted’ raw materials. Until now, the industrial production of yeast is usually carried out on molasses which contain 4 to 10 times higher concentrations of carbon compounds than in the by-products suitable for the current system.
Yeast is commonly used in human and animal foods. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain is very well known in breadmaking and in the production of alcohol. There are also hundreds of other yeast strains, with a limited number having commercial applications, such as the strain used in the ProlactisTM process (Kluyveromyces marxianus). Some of those are considered as useful and are used to manufacture yogurt, cheese, vinegar, etc. Basically, they all require carbon and nitrogen to reproduce but sources of these nutrients can be very different. For instance, bread yeast is propagated from cane or beet molasses (containing sucrose) but would not propagate on the type of sugar contained in milk (lactose), whereas our process will allow this. The exact yeast strain fixed in the bioreactor is chosen according to the specific end-product requirements.
The final product from our process can be either:
a) | Yeast Biomass – inactive Kluyveromyces marxianus in a variety of finished forms. |
b) | Yeast Fractions - autolysates and extracts, consisting of the intracellular contents of the yeast isolated following the autolysis of the cells, with (or without) the cell-wall components. Traditionally, these fractions are considered as valuable natural flavors, due to the levels of ribonucleic acid (RNA) which is a natural source of 5’GMP. Yeast extracts with natural nucleotides are well known to enhance taste in foods and also to increase feed intake in animals. Several recent studies have focused on the relationship between nucleotides and immune functions; the modulatory effects of yeast nucleotides on immunity have become increasingly attractive as a novel zootechnical strategy. In parallel, cell walls products can be used as adsorbents for alleviating the deleterious effects of myco toxins in feed rations. |
c) | Probiotics – viable yeast in either fresh or dehydrated form. |
Status Update on Products
Through the end of the current quarter ended December 31, 2010, minimal work had been undertaken with regards to completing the engineering design on the pilot plant. The Green Yeast GY-01 strain has been stabilized, thoroughly investigated at the bench scale, and propagated in pilot fermenters of various sizes. Overall, key process variables and product quality parameters have been identified for future scale-up.
The Company is presently in discussion with the Sherbrooke University to perform research on their bio-reactor. Building different bio-reactor sizes and shapes, we will characterize the process to obtain a mathematical model that would lead us to a optimum bio-reactor in size and shape for our project. Discussion should be finalized in our third quarter ending March 31, 2011.
Recent Corporate Developments
The Company continues to pursue its goals of commercializing the ProlactisTM microbiological process.
On April 16, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Technologies Biofermec Inc. to produce 50 kilos of two Kluyveromyces yeast products: (i) Active yeast and (ii) Autolyzed & Hydrolyzed inactive yeast. The cost of this research was budgeted at $26,000, for which funds were expended from working capital.
As of the end of December 2009, we received a final report and the project is slightly over budget but has been proceeding on schedule. As of March 12, 2010 we initiated, as a continuation of the original research, a new SR&ED project with Biofermec. The main goal of this project is to produce 3 ~ 4 kilos per day of these types of Km yeast under different propagation modes:
a) | BATCH propagation mode in order to optimize the product that was defined in previous experiments (in Part 1). |
b) | CONTINUOUS propagation mode, according to the parameters that are recommended for the ProLactis® bioreactor. |
c) | CONTINUOUS propagation mode, according to the parameters that are recommended for the ProLactis® bioreactor, and further autolyzed at various degrees before drying. |
As of the end of December 2009, we had initiated the application package for registering the yeast strain, which has been completed using new and supplementary analyses and was forwarded to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in the 3rd week of January 2010. This will lead to the introduction of the products on the Canadian animal nutrition market, both for field trials and for commercial use. The registration process was entering its final phase as of October 2010. In February 2011, the CFIA advised us that because of the back log with laboratory files, they would be evaluating our application in the coming few days, and based the outcome of the safety assessment, there would be a possibility of being granted a temporary registration until the laboratory results are complete.
Once the Company is able to obtain the required financing for the pilot plant, the Company expects to be able to rapidly undertake the construction of the pilot plant, and, upon successful testing and operations, expects to be in a position to generate initial revenues from the pilot operation. The Company has not yet been successful in raising the required financing for the pilot plant.
Additionally, the Company is continuing to seek out new markets for its products, as well as to secure stable sources of low cost raw materials. Efforts towards raising the capital required to fund current operations and business development plans are ongoing.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2010, the Company has $4,830 cash on hand and a $5,928 receivable from taxation authorities, and anticipates requiring approximately $300,000 through the end of its current fiscal year to maintain current operations, and an estimated $1,400,000 to complete the development of the pre-industrial scale plant.The Company is looking into ways to reduce this cost by trying to acquire used equipment suitable for our needs and potentially leasing new or used equipment if available.
The Company will also require additional funds upon successful commencement of operations at the plant, for the purpose of working capital to fulfill orders, and to expand management and staffing. The amount and timing of additional funds required cannot be definitively stated as at the date of this report and will be dependent on a variety of factors, including the timing of if and when we are able to raise sufficient capital to complete our plant. As of the filing of this report, the Company has been successful in raising funds required to meet our current operations through equity financing and loans. However, the Company does not anticipate that it will have any significant revenues, if any at all, generated from its operations for the next 12 months, therefore the Company will be required to raise additional capital either by way of loans or equity to continue to maintain operations at the current level. The Company cannot confirm that we will be able to raise any additional capital to fund our ongoing operations.
The Company issued a total of $200,000 of non-guaranteed convertible debentures, $100,000 on February 14, 2008 and $100,000 on April 29, 2008. These debentures were converted each into 1,250,000 common stock of the Company on February 10, 2010 and April 13, 2010 respectively.
In addition, on December 9, 2009, March 25, 2010 and May 6, 2010 respectively, the Company entered into an agreement with two of its shareholders to receive loans of $100,000 each for a period of twelve months bearing interest at 8%. The Company also entered into an agreement on July 22, 2010 and September 29, 2010 with a shareholder to receive loans of $50,000 each for a period of twelve months bearing interest at 8%. These funds have been used for working capital. The loan from December 9, 2009 is currently due and payable. It is the intention of the Company to convert this loan dated December 9, 2009 into capital stock. Preliminary discussions to that effect have already taken place and should be concluded in the next quarter ending March 31, 2011.
The Company will not have sufficient working capital for the next twelve months of operations and will be required to raise further funds, either by way of equity, loans or a combination of both. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon successfully completing and operating the expandable plant so that we are able to demonstrate the commercial viability of our process and products. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming any loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three month and six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
During the three month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company had no revenues and experienced a net loss for the period of $69,362, as compared to no revenues and a net loss of $106,115 for the same period in the preceding year. The decrease in the amount of the loss was largely attributable to a decrease in general and administrative expenses from $77,270 in 2009 to $48,217 in 2010 and a decrease in research and development expenses, from $20,853 in 2009 to $12,747 in 2010.
The decrease in the amount spent on general and administration expenses and in research and development in the current fiscal year is due to an effort by the Company to reduce costs in several different expense categories during a generally challenging economic time.
During the six month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company had no revenues and experienced a net loss for the period of $149,815 as compared to no revenues and a net loss of $240,448 for the same period in the preceding year. The decrease in the amount of the loss was largely attributable to a decrease in general and administrative expenses from $147,919 in 2009 to $104,387 in 2010, and a decrease in research and development expenses and interest / penalties expense, from $55,706 and $32,947 in 2009 to $26,075 and $16,356 in 2010, respectively. These differences in the six month period were attributable to the same reasons noted for the three month comparison period with the additional interest being in line with additional interest bearing debt incurred towards the end of the previous period as opposed to have been ou tstanding for the whole current period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure cont rols and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
On November 17, 2009, a director of the Company, Michel Plante, was appointed as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Plante has substantial expertise in financial reporting, and one of his mandates is to work with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Trudeau, in remedying previously identified weaknesses in the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting specifically, our CFO is independently responsible for undertaking all accounting functions, with such work being reviewed by our CEO, providing for additional oversight. Furthermore, progress has been made in developing written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, as well as implementation of controls over period end financial disclosures and reporting, which we believe to be sufficient to have addressed previou sly identified weaknesses in these areas. While the Company does not yet have an independent audit committee, it will continue to make efforts in establishing such a committee at such time as our resources permit. However, with the segregation of accounting duties and other progress made, management believes that as at December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting are sufficient.
