The Company is located in British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a pharmaceutical company that is in the business of acquiring and licensing current outstanding and promising healthcare related technologies for further development and re-licensing to major pharmaceutical companies. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting for Enterprises in the Development Stage”.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a goi ng concern. As at February 28, 2010, the Company has never generated any significant revenue and has accumulated losses of $4,128,448 since inception. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s common shares trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “GHLV”.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Posh Cosmeceuticals Ltd., and its inactive wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Health (BC) Ventures Inc. The financial results for Posh Cosmeceuticals include the results from operations from the date of acquisition, December 11, 2009.
b) | Interim Financial Statements |
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year of for any future period. These financial statements should be used in conjunction with our annual audited financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to defer income tax asset valuation allowance. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about th e carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d) | Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share |
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares ass umed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. The Company has never generated any revenue since inception.
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.
g) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
h) | Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided annually at rates calculated to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Laboratory equipment | 20% diminishing balance |
Computer hardware | 45% diminishing balance |
Office furniture and fixtures | 20% diminishing balance |
Office machines and equipment | 20% diminishing balance |
In the year of acquisition, these rates are reduced by one-half.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

j) | Website Development Costs |
The Company capitalizes website development costs in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-2, “Accounting for Website Development Costs”, whereby costs related to the preliminary project stage of development are expensed and costs related to the application development stage are capitalized. Any additional costs for upgrades and enhancements which result in additional functional ity will be capitalized. Capitalized costs will be amortized based on their estimated useful life over three years. Internal costs related to the development of website content are charged to operations as incurred.
The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and amounts due to a related party, were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s operations will be in Canada and the United States, resulting in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period.
Deferred income taxes are provided based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be covered or settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
m) | Foreign Currency Translation |
The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar with the reported amounts being stated in the United States dollar. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at average annual rates of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
n) | Research and development costs |
Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development costs are expensed in the period incurred unless the Company believes a development project meets generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. No such costs have been deferred as at February 28, 2010 and 2009.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
o) | Stock-based Compensation |
In accordance with SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payments”, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.
p) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”. This pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued). FAS 165 requires an entity to disclose the date subsequent events were evaluated and whether that evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or res ults of operation.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, an amendment of FAS 140. FAS 140 is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets: the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows: and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. ; The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 166 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. FAS 167 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FAS 166, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46R, including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variabl e interest entity. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 167 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of General Accepted Accounting Principles”. FAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. general accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10 Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASC 820-10”). ASC 820-10 provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value. Specifically, the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer. ASC 820-10 will be adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASC 820-10, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

p) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, amending Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157) to add new requirements. The new requirements are disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 measurements and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC 820 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In February 24, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, which amends ASC 855 to address certain implementation issues related to an entity's requirement to perform and disclose subsequent events procedures. ASU 2010-09 requires entities that make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. The new guidance became effective immediately for financial statements that are issued or available to be issued.

4. Related Party Transactions
a) | During the nine month period ended February 28, 2010, the President of the Company advanced $nil (2009 - $18,976) to the Company, was repaid $nil (2009 - $nil) by the Company and incurred $12,424 (2009 - $16,634) of expenses on behalf of the Company. During the nine month period ended February 28, 2010, the Company loaned the President $75,712, of which $47,234 has been repaid and of which $16,931 has been offset by expenses incurred by the President. The balance of the loan of $11,547 is repayable, bears no interest and can be offset by expenses the President incurs on behalf of the Company. |
b) | On March 15, 2009, the Company entered into a research contract with Globe Laboratories Inc. (“Globe”), a company controlled by 2 individuals related to the President of the Company, to engage Globe for research on the sublingual technologies developed by Globe. The Company agreed to pay $50,000 per quarter to Globe from April 1, 2009 until the technology is put into commercial production, or the technologies are sold or sublicensed. To date, $183,333 in research costs have been accrued under this agreement, of which $152,500 has been paid to Globe. |
c) | Effective December 11, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Posh Cosmeceuticals Inc., a company controlled by the President of the Company, pursuant to share exchange agreements dated June 12, 2009. Details of the transaction are described in Note 10. |

5. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method of tax allocation. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred income tax assets are evaluated periodically and if realization is not considered likely, a valuation allowance is provided.
a) Deferred tax assets and liabilities
| | February 28, 2010 $ | | | May 31, 2009 $ | |
Property and equipment | | | 4,800 | | | | - | |
Intangible assets | | | 6,300 | | | | | |
Operating loss carry forwards | | | 395,000 | | | | 92,400 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (406,100 | ) | | | (92,400 | ) |
Net future tax asset | | | - | | | | - | |
Management believes that it is not more likely than not that it will create sufficient taxable income sufficient to realize its deferred tax assets. Due to this, the Company has no income tax expense.
b) Loss carry forwards
The Company has estimated accumulated non-capital losses of approximately $1,127,000 which will expire as follows:
| | | |
2026 | | $ | 9,000 | |
2027 | | | 52,000 | |
2028 | | | 56,000 | |
2029 | | | 168,000 | |
2030 | | | 842,000 | |
| | $ | 1,127,000 | |
6. Warrants
On January 20, 2009, pursuant to the completion of a 2,000,000 units private placement, the Company issued 2,000,000 share purchase warrants exercisable to acquire 2,000,000 common shares of the Company at $0.40 per share, expiring January 20, 2011. At February 28, 2010, the 2,000,000 warrants issued are still outstanding.
On October 28, 2009, pursuant to the completion of a total of 800,000 units private placement, the Company issued 800,000 share purchase warrants exercisable to acquire 800,000 common shares of the Company at $1.00 per share, expiring October 28, 2011. At February 28, 2010, the 800,000 warrants issued are still outstanding.
On December 8, 2009, pursuant to the completion of a total of 533,333 units private placement, the Company issued 533,333 share purchase warrants exercisable to acquire 533,333 common shares of the Company at $1.00 per share, expiring December 8, 2011.

7. Stock Option Plan
The Company may grant options to purchase 2,000,000 common shares of the Company. Options may be issued under the stock option plan as determined at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors. Options may be issued for a term of up to 10 years at an exercise price of $0.70. All options vest at a rate of four per cent of the total number of Options granted to an optionee vesting each month on a monthly basis during the two-year period and the total remainder of such Options vesting on the second anniversary of the date of grant.
A summary of stock options outstanding is presented below:
| | Number of Options | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price $ | |
Options outstanding at June 1, 2009 | | | - | | | | - | |
Granted | | | 2,000,000 | | | $ | 0.70 | |
Expired | | | - | | | | - | |
Options outstanding at February 28, 2010 | | | 2,000,000 | | | $ | 0.70 | |
During the nine months ended February 28, 2010, the Company granted 2,000,000 options. The fair value of the options of $354,551 has been expensed. At February 28, 2010, 560,000 of the options are exercisable.
The Company has estimated the fair value of each option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate | 3.09% |
Expected life of options | 5-10 years |
Expected volatility in the market price of the shares | 155% |
Expected dividend yield | 0.0% |
8. Fair Value Measures
SFAS 157 requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS 157 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and accounts payable. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS 157, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

9. Commitments
Pursuant to an agreement dated November 12, 2009 the Company has entered into a non-exclusive agreement with an investment bank to raise funds for the Company on a “best efforts” basis. Under the terms of this agreement, the investment bank (“Agent”) will receive a success fee subject to the following fee structure:
i. | 8% of the amount of debt or equity raised. |
ii. | 50% (i) above of the Aggregate Consideration received by the Company from any transactions closed, including multiple successive transactions, with an investor candidate or a strategic candidate (or upon closing a transaction with a covered party, including multiple successive transactions, within twelve months after the termination date), which amount will be paid when the Company receives proceeds from the transaction. |
iii. | Warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the value of such transactions for successful common stock equity raised at the closing of such transaction for a period of 1 year, and/or to grant the Agent warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the value of such transactions for successful preferred stock, debt, hybrid debt of any kind or debt and equity combination raised at the closing of such transaction for a period of 1 year. These stocks shall be delivered in cashless exercise and issuable from the investment closing date up to no more than 5 years from the date and upon exercise thereof shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The stock obtainable upon exercise of such warrants shall carry unlimited “piggy back” registration rights of the Company. |
10. Share exchange
Effective December 11, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Posh Cosmeceuticals Inc., a company controlled by the President of the Company, pursuant to share exchange agreements dated June 12, 2009. The Company issued the securities to twenty-seven non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Due to the fact that the two companies were not dealing at arm’s length, and due to the transaction not being in the normal course of business, the transaction was recorded at the carrying value of the Company acquired.
The following table sets forth the allocation of the purchase price for the investment in Posh Cosmeceuticals:
Working capital acquired | | $ | (205,6865 | ) |
Property, Plant and Equipment | | | 9,916 | |
Patents and rights | | | 22,557 | |

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in applicable securities laws. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “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, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, 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.

Current Business
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company developing proprietary platform technology that delivers drugs via the sublingual (under the tongue) route. This unique method delivers drugs to the bloodstream quickly and with minimal drug breakdown in the liver and gastro-intestinal system, a process that can greatly reduce side effects while also requiring a lower dosage than conventional oral drugs while generally still producing the same results. Additionally, we are also developing oral formulations of drugs which are intended to cause fewer stomach side effects than formulations of such drugs previously marketed by other pharmaceutical companies. Our drug formulations are specifically designed to deliver drugs to the blood stream rapidly and more efficiently than traditional drug formulations but with fewer side effects.
We intend to develop our products to the final stage of marketing. If we need to carry out further clinical trials to support regulatory filings we will do so in-house. We plan to market the products through direct consumer sources such as advertisements on the internet, television, radio and in magazines. We also plan to sign up co-marketing partners, which typically will be larger specialty pharmaceutical companies and distributors. In the latter case, we plan to share the revenue on a pre-arranged royalty basis structure. We anticipate our products and any new product will require substantial funding. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to acquire the financing necessary to enable us to pursue our plan of operation. If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our busines s may fail.
Management of our company believes that there are perceived benefits to being a reporting company with a class of publicly-traded securities. These are commonly thought to include: (i) the ability to use registered securities to acquire assets or businesses; (ii) increased visibility in the financial community; (iii) the facilitation of borrowing from financial institutions; (iv) improved trading efficiency; (v) stockholder liquidity; (vi) greater ease in subsequently raising capital; (vii) compensation of key employees through stock options; (viii) enhanced corporate image; and (ix) a presence in the United States capital market.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited interim financial statements and the notes to the unaudited interim financial statements included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
For the three month periods ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009
Our interim consolidated financial statements report a net loss of $534,885 for the three month period ended February 28, 2010, as compared to a net loss of $35,149 for the three month period ended February 28, 2009.
During the three months ended February 28, 2010, we incurred expenses of $534,885 compared to $35,149 during the three months ended February 28, 2009. The increase in expenses during the three months ended February 28, 2010, was largely due to increases in general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, professional fees, and salaries and wages.
For the nine month periods ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009
Our interim consolidated financial statements report a net loss of $1,215,685 for the nine month period ended February 28, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $72,664 for the nine month period ended February 28, 2009.
During the nine months ended February 28, 2010, we incurred expenses of $1,215,685 compared to $72,664 during the nine months ended February 28, 2009. The increase in expenses during the nine months ended February 28, 2010, was largely due to increases in general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and salaries and wages.
As of February 28, 2010, we had a working capital of $212,885. Our total liabilities as of February 28, 2010, were $558,969, as compared to total liabilities of $72,350, as of February 28, 2009. The change was due primarily to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $488,117.
Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities
Operating activities used cash of $338,887 for the three month period ended February 28, 2010, compared to using cash of $35,933 for the three month period ended February 28, 2009. The increase in cash used during the three month period ended February 28, 2010, was commensurate with increased expenses for the period.
Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $433,819 for the three month period ended February 28, 2010, compared to using cash of $386,075 for the three month period ended February 28, 2009.
Cash Flow Provided by Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $9,087 for the three month period ended February 28, 2010, compared to using nil for the three month period ended February 28, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash and cash equivalents of $683,232 and current liabilities of $558,969 as of February 28, 2010. We had working capital of $212,885 as of February 28, 2010.
To date, we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will have negative cash flows during the next twelve month period ended February 28, 2011.
We incurred a loss of $534,885 for the three month period ended February 28, 2010. As indicated below, our estimated working capital requirements and projected operating expenses for the next twelve month period total $1,300,000. Although we have sufficient funds to carry out our operations for the next twelve month period, we may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or through debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the required capital or that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We intend to fulfill any additional cash requirement through the sale of our equity securities.
We expect to require a total of approximately $1,300,000, as set out below to carry out our business plan over the twelve months beginning February 2010. Our expenditures for the next twelve months include:
| | Our cost to | |
| | complete | |
Description | | $ | |
Equipment | | | 250,000 | |
Leasehold Improvement/rent | | | 200,000 | |
Research | | | 200,000 | |
Packaging | | | 100,000 | |
Wages | | | 300,000 | |
Professional Fees | | | 100,000 | |
Travel | | | 50,000 | |
Overhead | | | 50,000 | |
Administration | | | 50,000 | |
Total | | | 1,300,000 | |
We do not anticipate generating positive internal operating cash flow until we can generate substantial revenues, which may take the next few years to realize. There is no assurance we will achieve profitable operations in the future. We have historically financed our operations primarily by cash flows generated from the sale of our equity securities and through cash infusions from officers and affiliates in exchange for debt and/or common stock. No officer or affiliate has made any commitment or is obligated to continue to provide cash through loans or purchases of equity.
We intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements. Currently we are active in contacting broker/dealers in Canada and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements. However, we currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unsuccessful in raising sufficient funds through future capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options.
We have generated no revenues and incurred significant operating losses from operations. Since we anticipate we will expand operational activities in the future, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through equity securities offerings and bank borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from stockholders or other outside sources to sustain operations and meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. We have limited capital with which to pursue our business plan. There can be no assurance that our future operations will be significant and profitable or that we will have sufficient resou rces to meet our objectives.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operation. 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 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 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 obtaining further financing. 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.
Product Research and Development
During the twelve month period ending February 28, 2011, we intend to work on the formulation of our drugs. The rate of blood absorption will be investigated. Further, we intend to evaluate the dose ratio between active chemicals and other ingredients. We want to improve the drug bioavailability and maximize absorption. We also intend to set out a formula for drug to body mass ratio. Research will also be conducted on other ingredients which can be used for enhancement of skin penetration.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
During the twelve month period ending February 28, 2011, we intend to purchase a tablet maker which will produce at least 100 tablets a minute. This tablet maker will cost approximately $50,000. We also intend to purchase an automated tablet packager. The automated tablet packager will automatically drop a certain number of tablets into each bottle. The bottles then go for sealing, capping and labeling. Once the sealing, capping and labeling are completed, the automated tablet packager will produce a complete packed bottle. The cost of this fully automated equipment is approximately $200,000.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of February 28, 2010, our company had no off-balance sheet arrangements, including any outstanding derivative financial statements, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. Our company does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Employees
Our company is currently operated by Hassan Salari as our president, secretary, treasurer and chief executive officer and Audrey Lew as our chief financial officer. Currently we have four employees. Our company may hire employees when circumstances warrant, however we do not anticipate hiring additional employees in the near future. We presently conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.
Going Concern
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2009, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” our company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
Website Development Costs
We capitalize website development costs in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-2, “Accounting for Website Development Costs,” whereby costs related to the preliminary project stage of development are expensed and costs related to the application development stage are capitalized. Any additional costs for upgrades and enhancements which result in additional functionality will be capitalized. Capitalized costs will be amortized based on their estimated useful life over three years. Internal costs related to the development of website content are charged to operations as incurred.
Research and Development Costs
Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development costs are expensed in the period incurred unless we believe a development project meets generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. No such costs had been deferred as of February 28, 2010 and 2009.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar with the reported amounts being stated in the United States dollar. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at average annual rates of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Stock-based Compensation
In accordance with SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payments,” our company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Event.” This pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued). FAS 165 requires an entity to disclose the date subsequent events were evaluated and whether that evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, an amendment of FAS 140. FAS 140 is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets: the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows: and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 166 to have an impact o n the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. FAS 167 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FAS 166, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46R, including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement must be applied as of the beginni ng of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 167 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of General Accepted Accounting Principles”. FAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. general accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non - -authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10 Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (“ASC 820-10”). ASC 820-10 provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value. Specifically, the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer. ASC 820-10 will be adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASC 820-10, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
OFF BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS.
The Company is not subject to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (who is also our chief executive officer, secretary and treasurer) and our chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control obj ectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of February 28, 2010, the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president (who is also our chief executive officer, secretary and treasurer) and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three month period ended February 28, 2010, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On December 11, 2009, we entered into share exchange agreements with the shareholders of Posh Cosmeceuticals Inc., a private health care company, whereby we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Posh Cosmeceuticals Inc., in consideration for the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of common stock of our company.

Each warrant entitles the investor to purchase one additional share of common stock of our company at a price of $1.00 per share until December 8, 2011. We issued the securities to one non-U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
