1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
a) Organization
PEPTIDE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Nevada, United States of America, on November 18, 2005. On July 29, 2010,
the Company's name was changed from Online Originals, Inc. to CREEnergy
Corporation. Effective October 12, 2011, the Company's name was changed
from CREEnergy Corporation to Peptide Technologies, Inc. The Company's
year-end is November 30.
b) Nature of Operations and Change in Business
Since the date of inception on November 18, 2005, the Company's business
plan was to develop a membership-based website art gallery/auction house
specifically focused on displaying and selling original artwork. The
Company changed its status from a development stage company to an operating
company on November 30, 2009. Management realized that the results of
operations from the sale of artwork lacks luster and decided to change the
Company's business focus and plan for other strategic opportunities and
discontinued the sale of artwork with effect from June 25, 2010. Effective
June 26, 2010, the Company became a development stage company focusing on a
new business.
On August 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement in
which the Company, in exchange for 75,000,000 shares of the Company's
restricted common stock, received all rights and title to proprietary
technologies and formulas involving the application of specialty Peptides.
The Company has changed its business focus to the manufacturing and
distribution of natural peptide solutions to combat the economic burden of
bio-fouling.
The Company has developed the first all-natural, sustainable solution to
the increasing problem of bio-fouling. Our solutions are safe "green"
organic-based anti-fouling products used to combat the rapidly growing
problems caused by the attachment of hard fouling agents in the marine and
freshwater environments. The Company's patent-protected approach not only
significantly minimizes the attachment of hard fouling agents (mussels,
barnacles etc.) but is also highly effective in preventing the build-up of
any bio-film layer as well.
Our organic-based solutions are effective in both the marine and
freshwaters, and are environmentally friendly and non-toxic to water users
and all aquatic life. Additionally, our anti-fouling paints will adhere to
both stationary (concrete, steel) and flexible substrates (netting, etc.).
Our paints and protective coatings are available in a number of colors and
can be tailored to coat flexible or fixed substrates.
Targeted applications for our products are:
o Hydro-electric facilities and dams (i.e., water in-take pipes,
valves);
o Ship hulls (i.e., barnacle covered hulls can increase fuel usage
by more than 40%);
o Commercial fish nets;
o Pearling and Aquaculture industry;
o Drinking water treatment facilities;
o Farm irrigation water;
o Navigation locks;
o Oil rigs (FPSO); and
o Other cement and/or steel substrates
Unlike other anti-fouling paints, the Company's anti-fouling paints are the
only ones to receive a non-hazardous and non-toxic grade by Risk Management
Technology ChemAlert, Australia - a Government sanctioned certification.

c) Unaudited Statements
While the information presented in the accompanying interim financial
statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
Except as disclosed below, these interim financial statements follow the
same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Company's
audited November 30, 2012 annual financial statements. It is suggested that
these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements for the year ended November 30,
2012, included in the annual report previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the
interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
The information as of November 30, 2012, is taken from the audited
financial statements as of that date.
d) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a
going concern. However, the Company has negative working capital at
February 28, 2013, and has losses to date of approximately $1,248,422.
These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the
assets in the accompanying interim balance sheet is dependent upon its
ability to meet its financing requirements, raise additional capital, and
the success of its future operations. There is no assurance that future
capital raising plans will be successful in obtaining sufficient funds to
assure its eventual profitability. Management is actively seeking to add
new products and/or services in order to show profitability. To date, due
to the continued economic conditions, they have not yet been able to find
products and services that would contribute to their business. We believe
that actions planned and presently being taken to revise its operating and
financial requirements will provide the opportunity for the Company to
continue as a going concern. The interim financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income".
This update requires an entity to present information about amounts
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and their
corresponding effect on the respective line items in net income in one
place, and in some cases, cross-references to related footnote disclosures.
The update applies to public companies for all reporting periods presented,
including interim periods, and to nonpublic entities for annual reporting
periods. ASU No. 2013-02 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012 for public
companies, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update did
not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

(Unaudited)
In July 2012, FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other". This update presents an entity with the option to first to assess
qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an
indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining
whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in
accordance with Subtopic 350-30, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other -
General Intangibles Other than Goodwill". The more-likely-than-not
threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent. ASU
No. 2012-02 will be effective for annual and interim impairment tests
performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early
adoption permitted. The adoption of this update did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2011, FASB issued ASUNo. 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income". This
update amends certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05 "Presentation
of Comprehensive Income", to effectively defer only those changes that
relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of
accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial
statements for public, private, and non-profit entities. ASU No. 2011-12
will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2011. As ASU No. 2011-12 relates only to the
presentation of comprehensive income, adoption of this update will not have
a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
3. WEBSITE
The Company purchased a website during October 2012 for $10,000. This
website has a useful life of three(3) years, and the cost is being
amortized over the life of the asset. As of February 28, 2013, accumulated

On June 2, 2010, and effective August 10, 2010, the directors of the
Company approved a forward split of the common stock of the Company on a
basis of 30 new common shares for 1 old common share. As a result of the

9. INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to foreign and domestic income taxes. The Company
has had no income, and therefore has paid no income tax.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the
recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax
purposes. The Company's deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit
from net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards. The NOL carry forwards expire
in various years through 2033. The Company's deferred tax assets are offset
by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the
NOL carry-forwards. NOL carry-forwards may be further limited by a change
in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.
The Company's deferred tax assets, valuation allowance, and change in
valuation allowance are as follows:

The following discussion of the plan of operation, financial condition, results
of operations, cash flows and changes in financial position of our Company
should be read in conjunction with our most recent financial statements and
notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2013.
The independent registered public accounting firms' reports on the Company's
financial statements as of November 30, 2012, and for the year then ended,
include a "going concern" explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
in regard to the factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below
and also in Note 1 to the unaudited quarterly financial statements.
Discontinued Operations and New Developments
Since inception, the Company's business plan was to develop a membership based
website art gallery/auction house specifically focused on displaying and selling
original artwork. The Company changed its status from a development stage
company to an operating company on November 30, 2009. Management realized that
the results of operations from the sale of artwork was lack-luster, and it was
decided to change the Company's business focus and plan for other strategic
opportunities and discontinued the sale of artwork to be effective June 25,
2010. Effective June 26, 2010, the Company started to focus on a new business
development. On July 29, 2010, the Company's name changed from Online Originals,
Inc. to Creenergy Corporation. The name change was intended to convey a sense of
the Company's new business focus as it looked to pursue other opportunities.
Specifically, the Company intended to obtain leases for the exploration and
production of oil and gas in northern Canada and the United States. These
objectives have not been realized and the Company has abandoned its efforts in
this area.
On August 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement in
which the Company, in exchange for 75,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted
common stock, received all rights and title to proprietary technologies and
formulas involving the application of specialty peptides. On December 21, 2011
the Asset Purchase Agreement was amended and 30,000,000 of the 75,000,000 shares
issued were returned to treasury and cancelled. Having done this, the Company
has changed its business focus from obtaining leases for the exploration and
production of oil and gas in areas of northern Alberta, Canada, to the
manufacturing and distribution of natural peptide solutions to combat the
economic burden caused by the zebra and quagga mussels to the hydropower
electricity industry.
On December 14, 2011, Peptide Technologies, Inc. agreed to amend the Asset
Purchase Agreement dated August 23, 2011. As a result of the amendment
30,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company were returned to treasury in
exchange for payment of half of one percent of all gross monies received by the
company from revenue produced from products derived from the use of all the
formulae listed in the Assets Purchase Agreement. In addition a monthly stipend
of CDN $15,000 per month is to be paid commencing from receipt of monies from
the first contract signed to purchase products derived from the use of the
formula for a period of five years from the date of the amended agreement.

Business of Issuer
With the future and environmental responsibility in mind, Peptide Technologies,
Inc. has developed the first all-natural, sustainable solution to the economic
burden of bio-fouling. Our solutions are safe "green" organic-based anti-fouling
products used to combat the rapidly growing problems caused by the attachment of
hard fouling agents in the marine and freshwater environments. Peptide
Technologies' patent protected approach not only significantly minimizes the
attachment of hard fouling agents (mussels, barnacles etc.) but is also highly
effective in preventing the build-up of any bio-film layer as well.
Our organic-based solutions are effective in both the marine and freshwaters,
and are environmentally friendly and non-toxic to water users and all aquatic
life. Additionally, our anti-fouling paints will adhere to both stationary
(concrete, steel) and flexible substrates (netting, etc.) Our paints and
coatings are available in a number of colors and can be tailored to coat
flexible or fixed substrates.
Targeted applications for our products are:
o Hydro-electric facilities and dams (i.e., water in-take pipes,
valves);
o Ship hulls (i.e., barnacle covered hulls can increase fuel usage by
more than 40%);
o Commercial fish nets;
o Pearling and Aquaculture industry;
o Drinking water treatment facilities;
o Farm irrigation water;
o Navigation locks;
o Oil rigs (FPSO); and
o Other cement and/or steel substrates
Unlike other anti-fouling paints, Peptide Technologies' anti-fouling paints are
the only ones to receive a non-hazardous and non-toxic grade by Risk Management
Technology ChemAlert, Australia. Government sanctioned certification.
http://peptidetechnologiesinc.com/about-us/certifications/
Our patent-protected anti-fouling paints (Aquanatural and Aquaculture Natural)
are based on proprietary organic formulations developed over the past 15 years.
Our paint is unique globally and represents the ultimate in a green approach.
Some specific advantages of our anti-fouling paint:
o The paint is a "green" organic solution, non-toxic to aquatic life;
o Can be applied to both stationary and moving substrates;
o Effective in both fresh and marine waters;
o Can be applied as a paint or spray;
o Can be applied while underwater; (In development)
o Many color options to suit the end-users application; and,
o Our paint simply prevents attachment by hard fouling agents and
bio-film.
Our anti-fouling paints have undergone intensive evaluations by independent
parties around the globe. These include the Canada - Great Lakes; USA - Colorado
River; Darwin, Australia; and Trondheim, Norway.
In March 2013, ASI Group Ltd., on behalf of Ontario Power Generation Niagara
Plant Group, has completed its 6 month evaluation report of its patent-protected
proprietary organic anti-fouling coatings formula to prevent the attachment of
hard fouling agents of treated structures in the Great Lakes area. ASI showed
that the Company's coatings showed significantly fewer settlement stage mussels
during the 2012 reproductive season and were successful in preventing settlement
on treated plate surfaces. Testing was conducted from June 6, 2012 - December 8,
2012 in Lake Moodie, Ontario, Canada. Peptide Technologies' organic paint
coating was applied to a rack system and submerged for a period of 6 months.
During the trial, treated and control panels were periodically pulled up out of
the water and examined for the presence of zebra/quagga mussels. ASI Group Ltd.
concluded that Aquanatural showed considerable promise as an anti-fouling paint
in preventing the attachment of mussels in the freshwater environment. Peptide
Technologies' coatings are deemed to be non-hazardous and non-toxic and as a
16
result are classified as a non-dangerous good. More information and detailed
photographs about this study can be found at

ASI Group Ltd. was founded in 1987 as Aquatic Sciences Inc. by a small team of
industry professionals committed to providing integrated engineering, ecological
and marine services to clients worldwide. In the late 1980's, ASI gained a
global reputation for their proactive response to the zebra mussel infestation
of the Great Lakes. ASI has the distinction of being the first to perform a
chlorination treatment for zebra mussels in North America.
Also in March 2013, they received perfect performance rating from Multi Pump
Innovation (MPI) of Norway for its Proprietary Underwater Organic Anti-Fouling
Coating. MPI is a supplier of professional cleaning equipment for shipping,
offshore and fish farms. Multi Pump Innovation (MPI) of Norway conducted trials
using Peptide's Aquaculture Natural anti-fouling paint and found that it
prevented the attachment of any hard fouling agents onto open net pen mesh
material. The netting material was submerged underwater for a total of 75 days
in waters off the coast of the city of Trondheim, Norway. Peptides Technologies'
formulation, Aquaculture Natural was formulated to ensure the integrity of the
paint when applied to netting material. Results were dramatic; no fouling agents
attached to areas coated with Aquaculture Natural, compared to other sections of
the net coated with a leading competitor's anti-fouling paint. The growth of
hard fouling agents (i.e. barnacles, mussels, etc.) was monitored daily. More
information and detailed photographs about this study can be found at

Background
Bio-Fouling
-----------
Bio-fouling is the development of organic layers, created by the settlement of
organisms and their metabolic products (primarily caused by a variety of
organisms including: bacteria, algae and hard agents (mussels, barnacles etc.)).
Fouling produces several problems for equipment and aquatic structures,
deteriorating their performance and limiting their useful life.
Typically fouling begins with the formation of bio-films which develop and
affect the interaction between the substrate surface and the environment. In
most instances, bio-film developments compromise the substrate's integrity and
facilitate the subsequent production of algal growth and the attachment of other
hard agents.
Bio-films are predominately aggregates of bacterial cells, which attach to and
grow on a substrate, which are often resistant to disinfection. Bacterial
bio-films cause serious problems for industrial fluid processing operations
including: mechanical blockage interference in heat transfer process and
microbial-induced corrosion. In engineered systems such as cooling water
systems, food processing and other industrial applications, bio-film is a risk
to public health. Product spoilage and souring are consequences of
bio-film-mediated contamination.
Overall, bio-fouling represents a significant economic cost to a variety of
man-made structures and facilities including: desalination plants, piers, and
pylons, buoys, boilers, steam generators, cooling towers, evaporators,
distillation units, heat exchangers, engine jackets and valves. In addition,
bio-fouling generally increases fuel consumption, reduces efficiency, and
greatly increases corrosion rates.
Aquanatural & Aquaculture Natural products are the world's only known
non-hazardous, non-toxic, safe, user-friendly, anti-fouling paints. These two
products prevent bio-film adherence and subsequent attachment by other hard
fouling agents. Aquanatural & Aquaculture Natural anti-fouling coatings are the
only two environmentally safe paints for preventing the attachment of bio-films
and hard fouling agents.
Other key attributes of our two anti-fouling paint products include:
o Our protective coating paints are available in several colors
including white;
o Our products do not kill fouling agents, simply prevent them from
attaching to our coated surfaces;
o Our products can be applied to netting material, rope, fiberglass,
cement and a variety of metal substrates;
o Of all the known registered anti-fouling paints, Peptide Technologies,
Inc.'s paints, Aquanatural and Aquaculture Natural are the only two
registered non-hazardous, non-toxic paint coatings, and therefore
rated as non-dangerous goods.

Zebra and Quagga Mussels
------------------------
The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) and its cousin, the quagga mussel
(Dreissena rostriformis bugensis), are small bivalve mollusks with two matching
half shells, having an average life span of 3 to 5 years. Zebra mussels are
native to the Black, Caspian, and Azov Seas, dating back to 1769. By the late
18th and early 19th centuries, zebra mussels had spread to most all major
drainages of Europe because of widespread construction of canal systems. They
first appeared in Great Britain in 1824, where they are now well established.
Since then, zebra mussels have expanded their range into Denmark, Sweden,
Finland, Ireland, Italy, and the rest of Western Europe. Zebra mussels were
first discovered in North America in 1988 in the Great Lakes. The first account
of an established population came from Canadian waters of Lake St. Clair, a
water body connecting Lake Huron and Lake Erie. By 1990, zebra mussels had been
found in all the Great Lakes. The following year, zebra mussels escaped the
Great Lakes basin and found their way into the Illinois and Hudson rivers. The
Illinois River was the key to their introduction into the Mississippi River
drainage which covers over 1.2 million square miles. Since its introduction, the
zebra mussel has spread to 23 states in America and two Canadian provinces.
The quagga mussel is indigenous to the Dneiper River drainage of Ukraine and
Ponto-Caspian Sea. It was discovered in the Bug River in 1890 by Andrusov, who
named the species in 1897. The quagga mussel was first sighted in the Great
Lakes in September 1989, when one was found near Port Colborne, Lake Erie,
though the recognition of the quagga type as a distinct species was not until
1991. In August 1991, a mussel with a different genotype was found in a random
zebra mussel sample from the Erie Canal near Palmyra, New York, and after
confirmation that this mussel was not a variety of Dreissena polymorpha, the new
species was named "quagga mussel" after the "quagga", an extinct African
relative of the zebra. The first sighting of quagga mussels outside the Great
Lakes basin was made in the Mississippi River between St. Louis, Missouri and
Alton, Illinois in 1995. In January 2007, populations of quagga mussels were
discovered in Lake Mead near Boulder City, Nevada, and in Lake Havasu and Lake
Mohave on the California/Arizona border.
The quagga mussel is a prolific breeder, possibly contributing to its spread and
abundance. Dreissena are dioecious (either male or female) with external
fertilization. A fully mature female mussel is capable of producing up to one
million eggs per year. After fertilization, pelagic microscopic larvae, or
veligers, develop within a few days and these veligers soon acquire minute
bivalve shells. Free-swimming veligers drift with the currents for three to four
weeks feeding by their hair-like cilia while trying to locate suitable substrata
to settle and secure byssal threads. Zebra and quagga mussels accumulate organic
pollutants within their tissues to levels more than 300,000 times greater than
concentrations in the environment and these pollutants are found in their
pseudofeces, which can be passed up the food chain, therefore increasing
wildlife exposure to organic pollutants (Snyder et al., 1997). Another major
threat involves the fouling of native freshwater mussels. Since quaggas were
discovered in Lake Michigan in 1998, plankton rings formed by the passage of
storms have been eaten away by the quagga mussels, threatening the local
ecosystem.
Numerous pipelines, filter screens, hydroelectric turbines and pumping stations,
irrigation tunnels, canals and aqueducts are becoming clogged with quagga and
zebra mussels, and this proliferation and dispersion of mussel populations
threatens to impact reclamation operations and multiple dams across North
America, resulting in the interruption of hydropower and water delivery at
significant economic costs. Of particular concern is the blockage of water lines
designed to cool the hydropower turbines at dams like Hoover.
The quagga mussels, which grow to about 1.5 inches, are clogging water lines
that are used to cool the 17 massive hydropower turbines at Hoover Dam and have
already forced dam operators to temporarily shut down turbines that supply
electricity to 1.6 million people in southern Nevada, Arizona and California.
The mussels have caused similar problems at the downstream Davis Dam in Lake
Mohave and Parker Dam in Lake Havasu, both of which provide electricity for
thousands of people in Arizona and California. The mussels have also threatened
to clog water intake lines in Lake Mead operated by the Southern Nevada Water
System that supply water to more than 2 million people in the Las Vegas area.
What took decades to unfold in the Great Lakes has played out in a matter of
months in Lake Mead. Quaggas can lay eggs six or seven times a year in the
warmer water, compared with once or twice a year in the Great Lakes.
18
If you drained Lake Mead above Hoover Dam, says National Park Service biologist
Bryan Moore, it would reveal that brown canyon walls that were mussel-free just
two years ago are now black with quaggas at densities of up to 55,000 per square
meter. The Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the Hoover, Davis and Parker
dams, has employed divers with high-pressure water hoses to blow mussels out of
pipelines and filter gates, and the agency retains the option of using chlorine
treatments on the mussels if necessary. But those treatments are expensive,
temporary and, in the case of chlorine, can have negative environmental effects.
Colonization of the Columbia River Basin (CRB)in the Pacific Northwest by zebra
and quagga mussel could affect all submerged components and conduits of the
Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) including trash racks, raw water
distribution systems (headers), turbine bearing cooling systems, diffuser
plates, service and fire-water systems, and fish passage facilities.
Despite the uncertainty about zebra and quagga mussel tolerance to water
velocity, irregularities such as cracks and crevices and scaling in older pipes
and flanges can provide lower velocity refugia where zebra and quagga mussel
settlement can occur. The attached mussels, in turn, then produce additional low
flow refuges, allowing colonization in otherwise inhospitable flow environments.
Settlement can also occur when water flow is reduced during generation down-time
as conditions become more conducive to attachment.
Zebra and quagga mussel densities within the CRB could vary widely depending on
water chemistry, food availability, and breeding population. After their initial
introduction, zebra mussel populations can rapidly increase by orders of
magnitude, and then similarly decrease. Under ideal conditions in the Laurentian
Great Lakes zebra mussel densities reach 700,000 - 800,000 per square meter
(Kovalak et al, 1993). In the lower Mississippi River, where the zebra mussel
has been introduced, densities of 400,000 per square meter have been reported
(Kraft, 1995). The Mississippi has an ideal environment for zebra and quagga
mussels, in part because food resources are abundant (Kraft, 1995). While
Columbia River water quality parameters are favorable to zebra and quagga mussel
colonization (Athearn 1999), the Columbia River's lower plankton densities in
comparison to the Mississippi or Great Lakes, may limit zebra and quagga mussel
population densities.
Densities of zebra and quagga mussels in the Pacific Northwest will determine
the severity of impacts on hydropower, navigation, and fish passage facilities.
Zebra mussel densities in powerhouses will depend on the configuration of the
water systems and water conduit materials. The potential economic impacts of
zebra and quagga mussels on hydropower generation facilities in the Columbia
River will be determined by a number of factors including density, growth rate,
and maintenance costs. While density and growth are affected by environmental
factors as noted above, maintenance costs will also be driven by the difficulty
in accessing fouled areas, the methods available for removal and control, and
the amount of time available for maintenance activities. They prefer to cling to
flat, stainless steel structures where water flows less than 6 feet per second.
The muscles infestation sets in and begins to clog hydroelectric power cooling
pipes and other hardware in the dams' operations with quagga colonies. Not only
do they pose a threat to the cooling pipe system for hydroelectric turbines, but
also to the network that supplies domestic water for workers and visitors at the
dams.
Economic Impacts
o Hydroelectric Dams and Nuclear Power Plants
There are more than 85,000 dams in the United States alone, of which
approximately 11% are federally owned and operated. The major concern is the
blockage of water lines designed to cool the hydropower turbines at dams like
Hoover. This problem has already caused a "significant increase in the frequency
of high temperature alarms in cooling systems, requiring shutdowns" so that the
mussels could be removed.
Quagga
The quagga mussels, which grow to about 1.5 inches, are clogging water lines
that are used to cool the 17 massive hydropower turbines at Hoover Dam and have
already forced dam operators to temporarily shut down turbines that supply
electricity to 1.6 million people in southern Nevada, Arizona and California.
The mussels have caused similar problems at the downstream Davis Dam in Lake
Mohave and Parker Dam in Lake Havasu, both of which provide electricity for
thousands of people in Arizona and California. The mussels have also threatened
to clog water intake lines in Lake Mead operated by the Southern Nevada Water
System that supply water to more than 2 million people in the Las Vegas area.
19
Maintenance costs will also be driven by the difficulty in accessing fouled
areas, the methods available for removal and control, and the amount of time
available for maintenance activities. It has been estimated that hundreds of
millions of dollars is spent annually to combat the mussel infestation at
hydroelectric dams alone, and it is expected that this amount will increase
exponentially once the infestation has spread to the West.
Virtually any submerged area with a moderate flow rate that draws water from an
infested water source is vulnerable to colonization. This is especially true of
areas that offer protection to small mussels, such as crevices or seams. Intake
screens, for example, are common settlement areas and are often coated with
clumps or druses of mussels. The presence of dislodged shells in the discharge
of a facility's raw well or forbay is a common first indicator of the presence
of zebra mussels in the raw water main. Facilities may also experience a
noticeable decrease in head pressure. Most facilities have numerous components
subject to severe bio-fouling,
o Shipping Industry
The shipping industry worldwide spends huge amounts every year combating the
effects of "fouling". Every year or two, ocean going vessels must dry-dock in
order to undergo extensive work over two or more weeks to remove barnacles that
have attached to the hull. Prior to dry-docking, ships gradually undergo rapid
increases in additional fuel costs due to increased drag from fouling. The
mechanism involved in fouling occurs in a series of three steps. Within one
week, the hull surface is coated with a slimy deposit. Following this, various
micro-organisms (bacteria) attach. Barnacles attach to this slimy/bacterial
coating and become attached to the ship's hull using a bio-cement generated by a
series of three proteins that undergo a conformational change, within the
organism. This cement is one of, if not the strongest cement known to date of
anything produced naturally.
The current anti-fouling paint applied to ship hulls contains toxic chemicals
and heavy metals. However, as the international shipping community has been
issuing legislation prohibiting the use of these environmentally hazardous
substances - the need for alternatives is pressing.
o Recreational Boating Industry
In contrast, Lake Mead Marina predicts the costs to the West's recreational
boating industry alone will be immense in the coming few years. Mussels are
smothering everything under the waterline at marinas, making simple maintenance
on boats and floating docks expensive and time consuming, not to mention
dangerous due to the razor-sharp shells being plucked from the water.
The United States Park Service, which figures the mussels have been in Lake Mead
since 2005, is trying to protect the rest of the West's waters by requiring
boats that have been docked in a slip to be decontaminated with jets of scalding
water before departing Lake Mead. A killer hot wash costs about $40 for a small
boat and up to $200 for a houseboat.
o Ecological Damage
The infestation of zebra and quagga mussels are wreaking havoc on the native
species indigenous to the waterways they inhabit. These mussels attach to other
mussel species and crustaceans making it almost impossible for them to eat and
survive. While the zebra and quagga do have predator enemies, there are not
enough to consume the rapidly growing infestation.
This is more than an ecological concern. The federal government plans to spend
over a billion dollars in the coming years to help these species recover, and
zebra and quagga mussels have a history of ravaging native species in the waters
they invade. In Lake Michigan, for example, prey fish numbers are less than 10%
of what they were before the invasive mussels arrived.
Zebra mussels are also believed to be the source of deadly avian botulism
poisoning that has killed tens of thousands of birds in the Great Lakes since
the late 1990s.
Zebra and quagga mussels accumulate organic pollutants within their tissues to
levels more than 300,000 times greater than concentrations in the environment
and these pollutants are found in their pseudofeces, which can be passed up the
food chain, therefore increasing wildlife exposure to organic pollutants.
20
Another major threat involves the fouling of native freshwater mussels. Since
quaggas were discovered in Lake Michigan in 1998, plankton rings formed by the
passage of storms have been eaten away by the quagga mussels, threatening the
local ecosystem.
Other zebra and quagga mussel infested applications include:
o Drinking water treatment facilities
o Fish hatcheries and aquaculture facilities
o Golf courses
o Impoundments and reservoirs
o Institutions (hospitals, colleges, etc.)
o National scenic river ways
o Navigation locks
o Public agencies
o Farm irrigation water
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We have not incurred any costs to date relating to research and development and
have no plans to undertake any research and development activities within the
next twelve months.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Material Changes in Financial Condition
At February 28, 2013, our cash balance was $4,780. Cash on hand is currently our
only source of liquidity. We do not have any lending arrangements in place with
banking or financial institutions and we do not anticipate that we will be able
to secure these funding arrangements in the near future.
At February 28, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of $1,047,353 compared to
a working capital deficit of $803,823 at November 30, 2012. At February 28,
2013, our total assets consisted of cash of $4,780, a website with a net
carrying value of $8,333, and Intangible Asset and Intellectual Property of
$45,000. This compares with total assets at November 30, 2012, which consisted
of cash of $7,780, prepaid expenses of $3,494, a website with a net carrying
value of $9,167 and Intangible Asset and Intellectual Property of $45,000.
At February 28, 2013, our total current liabilities increased to $1,052,133 from
$815,097 at November 30, 2012. During the three months ended February 28, 2013,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $237,245.
We believe our existing cash balances will not be sufficient to carry our normal
operations over the next three (3) months. Our short and long-term survival is
dependent on sales of securities as necessary or from shareholder loans, and
thus, to the extent that we require additional funds to support our operations
or the expansion of our business, we will attempt to sell additional equity
shares or issue debt. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in
dilution to our stockholders. Continuing events in worldwide capital markets may
make it more difficult for us to raise additional equity or capital. There can
be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available to us
or on acceptable terms.
Result of Operations
For The Three Months Ended February 28, 2013 Compared To The Three Months Ended
February 29, 2012.
We recognized $Nil revenues from operational sales during the three months ended
February 28, 2013.
During the three months ended February 28, 2013, operating expenses were
$244,573 compared to $142,936 for the three months ended February 29, 2012. The
increase of $101,637 was due to an increase in salaries expense of $159,000 and
an increase in office and administrative expenses of $993 due to our pursuit of
business opportunities related to the peptide technology. Operating expenses
during the three months ended February 28, 2013, consisted of salaries expense
21
of $159,000, consulting fees of $75,000, professional fees of $8,633 and office
and administration costs of $1,940 compared to salaries expense of $Nil,
consulting fees of $120,000, professional fees of $21,989, and office and
administration fees of $947 incurred for the three months ended February 29,
2012.
We recognized a net loss of $244,364 for the three months ended February 28,
2013, compared to a net loss of $144,444 for the three months ended February 29,
2012.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires
management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the 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. The
following is a summary of the significant accounting policies and related
estimates that affect the Company's financial disclosures.
Foreign Currency Translations
The financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Foreign denominated
monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their U.S. dollar equivalents
using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue
and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period.
Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We believe our market risk exposures arise primarily from exposures to
fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates. We presently only transact
business in Canadian and U.S. Dollars. We believe that the exchange rate risk
surrounding the future transactions of the Company will not materially or
adversely affect our future earnings. We do not believe that we are subject to
any seasonal trends. We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage
risks or for speculative or trading purposes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Financial Officer,
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file
or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control
over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuer's
internal control over financial reporting is as of the quarter ended February
28, 2013.
22
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's
report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2013, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
