NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2009
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying financial statements of Cascade Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent filing of the Form 10-K which included the financial statements as of August 31, 2009. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed except as noted below. Certain items in previous periods have been reclassified on the statements of operations to conform to the current period presentation.
On January 20, 2009, the Company completed a fifteen-for-one common stock split in the form of special stock distribution to stockholders of record as at December 15, 2008. The effect of the stock split has been recognized retroactively in the stockholders’ deficit accounts as of January 16, 2004, and in all shares and per share data in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company incorporated Cascade Solar Corp. (“Cascade Solar”) on March 23, 2009 in the State of Nevada, as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Cascade Technologies Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cascade Solar Corp. contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of November 30, 2009 and the results of operations and cash flows. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
August 31 is our fiscal year end.
(b) | Organization and Business: |
Cascade Technologies Corp. (“Cascade”, “the Company”, “we”, or “our Company”) was incorporated on January 16, 2004 in the State of Wyoming as Akron Technologies, Inc. We changed our name to Cascade Technologies Corp. on March 9, 2004.
On September 10, 2008, Crest Capital Corp., a private Belize company, purchased a total of 150,000,000 of the 163,950,000 post split issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cascade Technologies Corp. (the "Company") from the directors and officers of the Company, for cash totaling $1,000. The total of 150,000,000 shares represented 91.5% of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of transfer and effected a change in control of the Company.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has determined to undertake a change of business, is not currently generating revenue, is considered a development stage company, has experienced recurring net operating losses, had an accumulated deficit of $155,735 and had a working capital deficiency of $61,735 as of November 30, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to issue more shares of common stock in order to raise funds. 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.

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
(c) | Loss per common share: |
| Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments. |
(d) | Fair value of financial instruments: |
| The carrying value of cash equivalents and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. |
| The Company determined to change its business from an online stocking distributor, buying and selling semiconductors, electro-mechanical and passive components to a company seeking projects in the renewable energy sector and has recently also reviewed and entertained other potential business acquisitions outside of the renewable energy sector. |
| Formerly, revenue from the sale of products has been recognized when title to the products was transferred to the customer (upon shipment) and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations were warranted, and thereby having earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments for products sold and delivered. The Company has now ceased operations as a stocking distributor and is presently in the process of formulating a business plan for its anticipated operations in the renewable energy sector as well as reviewing other acquisition opportunities. Dependent on the acquisitions completed by the Company in various business sectors, a new policy of revenue recognition will be adopted upon approval of the 2010 strategic plan. |
(f) | Use of estimates and assumptions: |
| Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
(g) | New accounting pronouncements: |
| In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented. |

NOTE 3 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On November 30, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of a dividend to shareholders of record as at December 18, 2009, whereby shareholders will receive 2.64 dividend shares for each one share currently held. The proposed date for the dividend distribution was December 21, 2009. The dividend was subject to the cancellation of the 142,110,816 shares of the Company. On December 17, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors entered into an amendment to the memorandum of agreement whereby the Company established a new record date of December 30, 2009 and a payment date of January 2, 2010 for the dividend distribution. As well, the amendment provided for the cancellation of the 142,110,816 shares (plus any dividends paid on the shares) at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The dividend will not be effected as of January 2, 2010 as the Company is currently reviewing amending documentation to the potential acquisition described below which may impact on the number of shares to be cancelled. Therefore the Board of Directors has determined not to finalize the submission to the requisite regulatory authorities until such time as the final agreements can be reached. The record date will remain as December 30, 2009 as at the time of this filing.
In early November 2009, the Company was contacted in regard to a potential business acquisition outside of the renewable energy sector. The Company reviewed the acquisition opportunity and entered into a confidential non-binding memorandum of understanding, with Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc. (“SMI”) in regard to this business opportunity. Subsequently, on December 11, 2009, the Company and SMI entered into a binding memorandum of agreement regarding the proposed acquisition. SMI is in the business of developing optical molecular imaging devices for early detection of certain medical conditions. The memorandum of agreement calls for the Company to acquire all of the outstanding shares of SMI through the issuance of a combination of common stock and preferred stock of the Company. A copy of the memorandum of agreement was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. Consummation of the acquisition contemplated in the memorandum of agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including the Company obtaining at least $1million in financing through a private placement, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and other conditions that are customary for transactions of this type. Prior to signing the memorandum of agreement, the Company arranged with Crest Capital Corp., our principal shareholder holding 150 million shares, to surrender for cancelation 142,110,816 shares of common stock. The definitive agreement is currently under amendment and therefore we cannot at the time of this filing confirm the number of shares to be surrendered for cancelation.
On December 8, 2009, the Company received the resignation of Mr. Dwayne Flett as President and a director. On December 8, 2009, the Company appointed Mr. Erik Lindsley, President and a director of the Company.
On December 11, 2009, the Company received notification from SMI of negotiations in regard to a private placement of shares of the Company, whereby the Company would offer up to $2 million in principal amount of notes (the “Notes”), initially convertible into up to 4,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) of the Company, with each share of Series B Preferred being initially convertible into ten (10) shares of Common Stock of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company determined that it is in the best interest of the Corporation and its shareholders for the Corporation to conduct the Offering to raise the necessary financing to consummate the Acquisition and therefore to offer and sell in a private placement up to $2 million in principal amount of Notes on the terms negotiated by SMI management. As of the date of this report on Form 10-Q no subscriptions have yet been accepted by the Company.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through January 4, 2009 and determined that there are no other items that require disclosure.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "intends", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential", or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, among others, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable laws, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Given these uncertainties, readers of this Form 10-Q and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
All dollar amounts stated herein are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
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"). The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2009, and 2008, together with notes thereto. As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and the "Company" mean Cascade Technologies Corp., unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
Business Development
Since incorporation until early February 2009, our core business was the purchase and sale of semi-conductors. The Company was unsuccessful in implementing its business plan and therefore management determined to review other business opportunities which would bring value to the Company. In early February 2009, the Company appointed a new directors and officers and with these appointments it was determined to pursue business opportunities in the field of renewable energy based power producing assets.
The Company then commenced collaboration discussions with Genalta Power Corp., a Canadian renewable energy company, with a view to entering into an agreement that it had anticipated would result in Cascade’s first commercial-scale Renewable Energy power installation to a local electric utility under a 20-year PPA. The Company was not able to conclude any agreements with Genalta Power Corp. and has determined that it will not pursue any opportunities in Canada at this time and determined to focus on the U.S. for opportunities in renewable energy.
In early November 2009, the Company was contacted in regard to a potential business acquisition outside of the renewable energy sector. The Company reviewed the acquisition opportunity and entered into a confidential non-binding memorandum of understanding, with Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc. (“SMI”) in regard to this business opportunity.
On November 30, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of a dividend to shareholders of record as at December 18, 2009, whereby shareholders will receive 2.64 dividend shares for each one share currently held. The proposed date for the dividend distribution was December 21, 2009. The dividend was subject to the cancellation of the 142,110,816 shares of the Company. On December 17, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors entered into an amendment to the memorandum of agreement whereby the Company established a new record date of December 30, 2009 and a payment date of January 2, 2010 for the dividend distribution. As well, the amendment provided for the cancellation of the 142,110,816 shares (plus any dividends paid on the shares) at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The dividend will not be effected as of January 2, 2010 as the Company is currently reviewing amending documentation to the potential acquisition described below which may impact on the number of shares to be cancelled. Therefore the Board of Directors has determined not to finalize the submission to the requisite regulatory authorities until such time as the final agreements can be reached. The record date will remain as December 30, 2009 as at the time of this filing.
Subsequent to the end of the current quarter, on December 11, 2009, the Company and SMI entered into a binding memorandum of agreement regarding the proposed acquisition. SMI is in the business of developing optical molecular imaging devices for early detection of certain medical conditions. The memorandum of agreement calls for the Company to acquire all of the outstanding shares of SMI through the issuance of a combination of common stock and preferred stock of the Company. Consummation of the acquisition contemplated in the memorandum of agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including the Company obtaining at least $1million and up to $2million in financing through a private placement, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and other conditions that are customary for transactions of this type. Prior to signing the memorandum of agreement, the Company arranged with Crest Capital Corp., our principal shareholder holding 150 million shares, to surrender for cancelation 142,110,816 shares of common stock. The definitive agreement is currently under amendment and therefore we cannot at the time of this filing confirm the number of shares to be surrendered for cancelation.
On December 8, 2009, the Company received the resignation of Mr. Dwayne Flett as President and a director. On December 8, 2009, the Company appointed Mr. Erik Lindsley, President and a director of the Company.
Current Operations
The Company, has retained its U.S. subsidiary, Cascade Solar Corp. so that it may review opportunities in the renewable energy sector in the U.S. The Company is also pursuing the acquisition of SMI. Our disclosure in this report relates to our operations in the sector of renewable energy as we have not yet concluded any transaction regarding SMI, and it cannot be known at this time if an acquisition will be concluded.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
As of November 30, 2009, our cash balance was $690, and we had no revenues as compared to $715 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 with no revenues. Our accounts payable and accrued expenses increased from $15,193 at fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, to $21,351 at our three month quarter ended November 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to amounts incurred for professional and consulting expenses due to increased business activities. We do not have sufficient funds to undertake any operations or to pay our expenses as they come due. We will therefore be required to raise capital to fund our ongoing operations by way of equity or loans. Further, should we conclude the acquisition of SMI described above, we will be required to raise at least $1million in financing through a private placement. Under the terms of the agreement with SMI, SMI will raise the required funds on behalf of the Company. Currently a private placement to raise the funds is being conducted whereby the Company would offer up to $2 million in principal amount of notes (the “Notes”), initially convertible into up to 4,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) of the Company, with each share of Series B Preferred being initially convertible into ten (10) shares of Common Stock of the Company. As of the date of this report on Form 10-Q no subscriptions have yet been accepted by the Company and it is not known whether the Company will be able to raise the required funds for the proposed acquisition of SMI.
Further, there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operations. 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 other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease operations.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we do not have sufficient capital to continue operations without raising additional funds. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Results of Operations
For the three month period ended November 30, 2009, operating expenses were $7,605 as compared to $11,021 for the corresponding three month period ending November 30, 2008. This decrease was due primarily to professional service fees, which amounted to $7,165 at the three month period ended November 30, 2009 as compared to $9,345 for the corresponding three month period ended November 30, 2008, and, the decrease in general and administrative expenses which amounted to $356 at the three month period ended November 30, 2009 as compared to $1,676 for the corresponding three month period ended November 30, 2008. The decrease in operating expenses was a result of a decrease in operations of the Company while it undertook a review of potential activities. Interest expenses increased to $730 from $470 due to increased loans.
During the three month period ended November 30, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $8,335, as compared to a net loss of $11,491 in the three month period ended November 30, 2008. This decrease in the amount of loss was due primarily to a decrease in professional service fees and G&A expenses, offset in part by a slight increase in interest expense on our short term loan.
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.
