NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Merger
On January 29, 2010, InovaChem, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “InovaChem”), completed the acquisition of NuGen Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NuGen”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated January 29, 2010(the “Merger Agreement”), by and among InovaChem, NuGen and InovaChem Mergerco II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of InovaChem. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, NuGen merged (the “Merger”) with and into InovaChem Mergerco II, and NuGen, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of InovaChem.
Upon the closing of the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of NuGen’s common stock was converted into one share of InovaChem’s common stock. As a result, an aggregate of 27,133,384 shares of InovaChem’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) were issued to the two shareholders of NuGen.
The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. NuGen is the acquirer for accounting purposes and InovaChem is the acquiree. Accordingly, NuGen’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Merger. The accumulated deficit of NuGen is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Merger are those of NuGen. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.
Description of Business
The Company is engaged, through its wholly-owned subsidiary NuGen, in the research, development and manufacture of permanent magnet electric motors and the electronic controls for such motors. Our facility is located in Ashburn, VA. Our revenue is derived primarily from product sales to customers in the automotive and industrial markets, and from contract research and development services. We are impacted by other factors such as the continued receipt of contracts from industrial and governmental parties, our ability to protect and maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, continued product and technological advances and our ability to commercialize our products and technology.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.
It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes of the Company for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, included in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2010.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
We extend unsecured credit to most of our customers following a review of the customers' financial condition and credit history. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a number of factors including the length of time accounts receivables are past due, the customer's ability to pay its obligation to us, the condition of the general economy, estimates of credit risk, historical trends and other information. Accounts receivable are deemed to be past due when they have not been paid by their contractual due date. We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible against our allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2009, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.
Machinery and Equipment
Machinery and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 5 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $466 and $466, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate whether circumstances or events have affected the recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite useful lives. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or groups of assets from expected future cash flows estimated by management.
If expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized to adjust the asset to fair value as determined by expected discounted future cash flows.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
We manufacture proprietary products and other products. Revenue from sales of products are generally recognized at the time title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement.
Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs.
Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to cost and revenue, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs and other indirect costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The valuation of deferred tax assets may be reduced if future realization is not assured.
The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Research and Development
Costs of researching and developing new technology, or significantly altering existing technology, are expensed as incurred.
Loss per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by all outstanding and potentially dilutive shares during the periods presented, unless the effect is antidilutive. As of December 31, 2009, there are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Use of Estimates
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “Codification”) has become the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). All existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be authoritative. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC issued under the authority of federal securities laws, however, will continue to be the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles for SEC registrants. Effective September 30, 2009, all references made to GAAP in our financial statements will include references to the new Codification. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
INOVACHEM, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009
In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (VIE). FASB ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation," amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. FASB ASC 810 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE. Topic 810 is effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. This will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 - Transfers and Servicing. FASB ASC No. 860 improves 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. FASB ASC No. 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC No. 860 will have on its financial statements.
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $909,330, a stockholders’ deficit of $1,495,485, an accumulated deficit of $3,035,218 and negative cash flows from operations of $37,362 during the quarter ended December 31, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional loans, equity funding, and to implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern (See Note G – Subsequent Events).

Total long term debt | | $ | 598,650 | | | $ | 599,339 | |
Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated as of August 23, 2007 the Company accrues interest on the loan at the rate of 6% per annum. Quarterly payments are made based on a formula that multiplies the Company’s gross revenues by 2% for calendar year 2007, 3% for calendar year 2008, 4% for calendar year 2009, 5% for calendar year 2010 and 6% for calendar year 2011 and for all subsequent years until the loan is paid in full. In all years the Company is required to pay a minimum of $7,500 per quarter and any payment made that exceeds the amount that would be due under the formula shall be treated as an advance against subsequent quarterly amounts due in excess of the $7,500 minimum payment.
As of December 2009 no payments of principal have been made as the Company’s quarterly revenues, multiplied by the appropriate percentage, have not exceeded the $7,500 minimum payment. The payments made have gone towards accrued interest only. Additionally, further revenue contingent payments may be owed, in the future (see Note F – Commitments and Contingencies – below).
Pursuant to the Promissory Notes dated as of July 13, 2007, the Company accrues interest on these loans at the rate of 10% per annum. As the Company has not made payments of principal that were due, the loans are in technical default. Accordingly, they are classified under the Current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s Balance Sheets.
Pursuant to the Promissory Note dated as of June 5, 2009, the Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of LIBOR plus 5% per annum (currently a total of 5.6%). As the note is due on demand, it is classified under the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s Balance Sheet. These amounts were converted to equity in January 2010 (See Note G – Subsequent Events).
In November 2007, the Company purchased computer equipment and issued a four year note payable in the amount of $9,326. The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 18.45% per annum and makes monthly fixed payments of interest and principal.
In January 2008, the Company converted $35,650 of accounts payable, for advisory services and expenses, from a related party (see note E – Related party transactions) into a note payable. The Company accrues interest on this loan at the rate of 1% per annum. As the note was due in September 2008, the loan is in technical default. Accordingly, it is classified under the current portion of long-term debt on the Company’s Balance Sheets.
In December 2009, the Company received $50,000 as a bridge loan. The loan bears interest at 5% per annum and was converted in January 2010 in exchange for 333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with its private placement.

Gross Revenues means the aggregate amount of (i) all fees and other revenue that the Company actually receives from any source, (ii) the then-current fair market value of (x) the assets purchased from the seller, or (y) the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to an affiliate of the Company and / or its Chairman, President and CEO, and (iii) the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by the Company to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern.
As part of the Asset purchase in 2007, the Company acquired a $10,000,000 license agreement with an Indian manufacturer in which its technology is embedded in that manufacturer’s three-wheel Auto-Rickshaw. In connection with this contract, the Company also agreed to assume the commitment, entered into by the Seller, for a conditional grant of $700,000 from an Indian export bank, which will be paid back through a 2% royalty on the license agreement until $1,400,000 is paid back. Additionally, the Indian export bank also provided a loan of $500,000 to the Seller that was converted to a conditional grant similar to the grant outlined above and assumed by the Company in 2007. While the Company has the agreement with the Indian export bank converting the Seller’s loan to a grant, it has not yet been formally executed (the Indian export bank agreed to postpone execution of this agreement). As of December 31, 2009 no payments are owed to the Indian export bank as the Indian manufacturer is not actively marketing its product at present, however, with the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, the Company expects that marketing of this product will begin in the next two years.
Lease Commitments
Rental expense for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, was $19,766 and $19,699.

General
We design, manufacture, and market systems and components for the alternative energy sector. We offer high-efficiency, compact motors, controllers, vehicle interface modules (including energy storage, management, and monitoring systems) and related software that have applications in markets ranging from electric/hybrid electric vehicles to materials handling equipment, distributive power, ground support equipment, motion control, and military applications.
Our merger with InovaChem, Inc. will be accounted for as a recapitalization rather than as a business combination. As a result, the historical financial statements of NuGen Mobility, Inc. will be the historical financial statements. Accordingly, our financial statements subsequent to the merger consist of the balance sheets of InovaChem, Inc. and NuGen Mobility, Inc., the historical operations of NuGen Mobility, Inc. and the operations of both InovaChem, Inc. and NuGen Mobility, Inc. from January 29, 2010 (date of merger) forward. As a result of the merger, the historical financial statements of InovaChem, Inc. for the period prior to January 29, 2010, are not presented herein.
We are maintaining our fiscal year end of September 30, which was the historical fiscal year end of InovaChem, Inc. and NuGen Mobility, Inc.
Results of Operations
We generated revenues of $130,000 and $150,141, for the three months ending December 31, 2008 and 2009 respectively. We had net losses of $111,229 and $145,105, for the three months ending December 31, 2008 and 2009 respectively.
In fiscal 2010 we expect to expend cash for operations and technology investments in order to implement our business plan and we do not expect immediate revenues to offset such expenditures.
Results of Operations— Comparison of Quarters Ending December 31, 2009 and 2008
Revenues. Our sales increased by $20,141 to $150,141 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $130,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
Gross Profit (Loss). Our gross (loss) increased by $7,237 to $(18,107) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $(10,868) for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
Operating Expenses . Our operating expenses increased by $38,857 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $61,324 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to increased personnel and consulting services in 2009 over 2008. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation, rent and office, professional fees and travel expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of funds has been sales to our customers, equity provided by our stockholders and various loans. Our principal use of funds has been for cost of goods sold, operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. Although we currently believe that we have sufficient cash for the next 12 months, we are unable at present to estimate the funds we will require to execute our business plan to develop, manufacture and market our products and technology and management expects that we will need to raise additional capital, which we may do through equity financings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds if and when we wish to do so. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2009, we had $70,878 of cash on hand and for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009, we had revenues of $150,141 and a net loss of $145,015.
In connection with the closing of the Merger, on January 29, 2010, InovaChem issued an aggregate of 6,733,336 shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $0.15 per share. Also, in connection with the Merger, holders of $379,999 and $465,476 of outstanding indebtedness of NuGen converted their promissory notes (based on a $0.15 per share conversion price) into an aggregate of 5,636,499 shares of Common Stock. On February 11, 2010, we issued an aggregate of 3,599,999 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the accounting policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. Additionally, we intend to develop and adopt policies, once we commence operations, which are appropriate to our operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application. In particular, given our early stage of business, our primary critical accounting policy and area in which we use judgment is in the area of the recoverability of deferred tax assets.
In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.
At inception, the Company implemented ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment” which requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Codification No. 860. ASC 860 improves 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. ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of ASC 860 will have on our financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “Codification”) has become the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). All existing accounting standard documents are superseded by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the Codification will not be authoritative. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC issued under the authority of federal securities laws, however, will continue to be the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles for SEC registrants. Effective September 30, 2009, all references made to GAAP in our financial statements will include references to the new Codification. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (VIE). FASB ASC Topic 810, "Consolidation," amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. FASB ASC 810 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE. Topic 810 is effective as of the beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. This will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement with New Generation Motors Corporation (“NGM”), we are required to pay NGM from Gross Revenues, (i) $596,108 plus accrued interest at the rate of 6% per annum plus (B) if prior to July 13, 2014, we paid the amount described in (i) in full, then we are required to pay each year, on a quarterly basis, 2.5% multiplied by the amount of Gross Revenues accrued in each quarter until July 13, 2014. Gross Revenues is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement as (i) all fees and other revenue that we receive from any source, (ii) the then-current fair market value of (x) the assets purchased from NGM, or (y) the business (as a going concern) or portion thereof sold or otherwise transferred to our affiliate, and (iii) the proceeds from the sale or other disposition by us to any other third party of all or any portion of (x) the assets and/or (y) the business as a going concern.
As part of our purchase of NGM’s assets in July 2007, we acquired a $10,000,000 license agreement with Bajaj and agreed to assume NGM’s commitment of a conditional grant of $700,000 from The ICICI Limited, an Indian public banking company (“ICICI”), which will be paid back through a 2% royalty on the license agreement until $1,400,000 is repaid. Additionally, ICICI also provided a loan of $500,000 to NGM that was converted to a conditional grant and assumed by us in 2007. As of September 30, 2009, no payments are owed to ICICI, as Bajaj is not actively marketing its product at present, however, with the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, we currently expect that marketing of this product will begin in the next two years.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that the Company’s disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in the internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
