ADVANCED BIOTHERAPY, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) CONDENSED NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 |
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Advanced Biotherapy, Inc. was originally incorporated December 2, 1985 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Advanced Biotherapy Concepts, Inc. On July 14, 2000, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Biotherapy, Inc. in the State of Delaware. On September 1, 2000, the Company merged with its wholly owned subsidiary, effectively changing its name to Advanced Biotherapy, Inc. (hereinafter “the Company” or “ABI”) and its domicile to Delaware.
The Company was primarily engaged in the research and development for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans, most notably, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and certain autoimmune skin diseases and AIDS, until 2007 when the Company decided to discontinue such research and development. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. The Company is a development stage enterprise.
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation in 1985 and has not realized any significant revenues from its planned operations. Management’s goal is to acquire control or non-control investments in one or more revenue generating companies.
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our annual reports on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
NOTE 2 - LIMITED SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
ADVANCED BIOTHERAPY, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) CONDENSED NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2008 |
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”). This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. The Company has adopted this statement and has made certain adjustments to the carrying value of its assets, specifically patents, equipment, and furniture, at December 31, 2007. See Note 3.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Development Stage Activities
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation in 1985 and has not realized any significant revenues from its planned operations. It was primarily engaged in the research and development of the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans, most notably, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Commencing June 18, 2008, the Convertible Note is convertible into OFM units at the conversion rate of $10.00 per unit. The loan also is secured by all of OFM’s assets.
��
Prior to the Company entering into the OFM Transaction, Richard P. Kiphart, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, made loans to OFM in April and June, 2007, evidenced by convertible notes (collectively “Kiphart Convertible Notes”), which notes are secured by OFM’s assets. Mr. Kiphart and the Company agreed that Mr. Kiphart will subordinate his claims under the Kiphart Convertible Notes to the Company’s claims against OFM relative to the OFM Note and the Reimbursement Agreement. The Company’s claims also will be senior to Mr. Kiphart as to payment and rights to collateral securing the OFM Note and the Reimbursement Agreement. Mr. Kiphart agreed that the Company’s Convertible Note will rank on the same priority as to payment and rights to collateral as the Kiphart Convertible Notes. Mr. Kiphart has advanced additional funds to OFM, which advances are junior in priority to the company’s loans as to payment and rights to collateral.
NOTE 7- RELATED PARTY NOTES RECEIVABLE
Lime Energy, Inc.
On March 12, 2008, the Company and Richard P. Kiphart, Chairman of the Board of the Company, agreed to provide Lime Energy, Inc. (“LIME”) (NASDAQ:LIME), a developer, manufacturer and integrator of energy saving technologies, with a $3 million revolving line of credit, for which the Company and Mr. Kiphart each will be responsible to fund up to $1.5 million. The Company and Mr. Kiphart will fund the line of credit and receive principal and interest payments on a pro-rata basis. As of June 30, 2008, LIME has requested $750,000 on the line of credit. Advances in the amount of $250,000 were requested on May 19, 2008, May 28, 2008, and June 9, 2008, respectively. Mr. Kiphart subsequently has increased his loan commitment to LIME to $9,500,000, which will be repaid pro-rata with the Company’s loans.
The LIME note matures on March 31, 2009, and bears interest at 17% per annum payable quarterly, with 12% payable in cash and the remaining 5% to be capitalized and added to the principal balance of the note. The note also provides for payment quarterly of an unused funds fee of 4% per annum, as well as a fee payable upon termination of the facility prior to its scheduled maturity. LIME may borrow any amount during the term of the note, so long as it is not in default at the time of the advance. If the LIME note is not timely repaid, then the Company may convert such note at the conversion rate of $7.93 per share.
Mr. Kiphart is also the Chairman of the Board of LIME and its largest individual investor, and Mr. David Valentine, one of the Company’s directors, is also a director of LIME.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
This Quarterly Report and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our business, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements, including any statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations, any statements concerning proposed new product candidates and prospects for regulatory approval, any projections of revenue earnings or other financial items, any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, and any statement of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. We caution you that our performance and results could differ materially from what is expressed, implied, or forecast by our forward-looking statements due to general financial, economic, regulatory and political conditions affecting the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries as well as more specific risks and uncertainties. The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. Future operating results and the Company’s stock price may be affected by a number of factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Item 1. Business,” and all subsections therein, including, without limitation, the subsection “Factors That May Affect the Company,” and Item 5. the “Market for registrant’s Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters,” all contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Given these risks and uncertainties, any or all of these forward-looking statements may prove to be incorrect. Therefore, you should not rely on any such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, we do not intend (and we are not obligated) to update publicly any forward-looking statements. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OVERVIEW
The Company had $4,216,034 in available cash at June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, $1,000,000 of cash has been restricted due to a bond that has been secured for Organic Farm Marketing, LLC. Also, $750,000 has been restricted as a line of credit to Lime Energy, Inc. Our total cash balance as of June 30, 2008 is $6,716,034 of which $1,750,000 is restricted bringing our available cash position to $4,966,034. This amount of cash is projected to be adequate to meet the Company’s projected minimum cash requirements for operations for the next 12-month period ending June 30, 2009, of approximately $350,000 to $400,000. Currently, the Company’s only source of income is from interest earned on its cash and investments. Based upon the Company’s current business plan, management believes that for the period ending June 30, 2009, the earned interest will be sufficient to fund approximately 45% to 55% of our projected operating expenses excluding certain non-recurring expenses. The Company, however, does not have a source of revenue to continue its operations beyond the currently available funds.
As previously reported, the Company has ceased all research and development projects and new patent applications. It is expected that the Company’s current position regarding use of its funds for research and development and patent matters will continue during the next 12 months, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.
The Company’s business plan for 2008 continues to principally focus on the following three specific elements:
| 1. | Evaluation of possible acquisition candidates; |
| 2. | Acquisition of a control or non-control position in one or more revenue generating companies or development stage companies, through investment in equity or convertible debt, or an asset acquisition or other financing; and |
| 3. | Sale of our patents and/or licensing agreements with companies seeking opportunities related to our patents. |
As of the date hereof, the Company has not entered into any agreement to acquire a revenue generating company, nor has it entered into any agreement for the sale or license of its patents.
We have a history of operating losses and have not generated any revenue. At June 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $22,295,435. The amount of time required to reach sustained profitability is highly uncertain.
Subject to the acquisition of a revenue-generating business which is one of the objectives of the Company’s business plan for 2008, the Company does not expect to purchase any significant equipment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. There have been no operations since incorporation.
