NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 consolidated financial information. Accordingly,
they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a
comprehensive presentation of consolidated 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
consolidated financial statement presentation. The results for the interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year.
Activities during the development stage include acquisition of financing and
intellectual properties and research and development activities conducted by
others under contracts.
For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements
and footnotes of the Company for the year ending March 31, 2003 included in the
Company's Form 10-SB.
NOTE 2 LOANS PAYABLE, RELATED PARTIES
- ---------------------------------------
During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, the Company received the
remaining $50,000 portion of a $100,000 debt financing transaction with a
principal stockholder plus an additional $25,511. All loans are non-interest
bearing, unsecured and due on demand. All activity with this principal
stockholder represents a 100% concentration of all debt financing proceeds
received during the nine months ended December 31, 2003 (See Notes 4 and 5). At
December 31, 2003, total loans payable - related parties was $129,306.
NOTE 3 STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY
- ---------------------------------
(A) REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO PUT OPTION
In November 2002 and February 2003, the Company issued an aggregate
273,058 shares of its common stock having a fair value of $273,058 to
settle certain accounts payable under a debt settlement agreement
("agreement") with three unrelated parties. Of the total stock issued
in connection with the agreement, two of these parties received an
aggregate 173,058 shares of common stock. In addition, these two
creditors received a written put option for the aggregate 173,058
shares of common stock previously issued. Specifically, three years
from the date of the initial settlement, the put option holders have a
thirty day period in which to notify the Company of their intent to put
the options back to the Company at a redemption price of $1.00 per
share. The Company will then have 90 days from the notification date to
make the required payment. The redemption value of these shares of
common stock at December 31, 2003 is $173,058. In accordance with the
provisions of EITF No.00-19, since the contract requires a net cash
settlement (transfer of assets to settle obligation), the put options
are classified preceding stockholders' deficiency as a liability. The
provisions of SFAS No. 150 were not effective for these transactions
since the effective date for SFAS No. 150 was May 31, 2003, with no
retroactive accounting treatment allowed.
(B) EXPIRED COMMON STOCK OPTION
On June 1, 2003, 250,000 stock options having an exercise price of
$1.00 per share expired without being exercised.
6
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTIES
- ------------------------
During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, the Company received the
remaining $50,000 portion of a $100,000 debt financing transaction with a
principal stockholder plus an additional $25,511 (See Notes 2 and 5).
NOTE 5 GOING CONCERN
- ----------------------
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company
has a working capital deficiency of $258,035, deficit accumulated during
development stage of $5,789,728 and a stockholders' deficiency of $528,938 at
December 31, 2003. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company's ability to further implement its business plan, raise
capital, and generate revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.
The Company is currently a development stage company and its continued existence
is dependent upon the Company's ability to resolve its liquidity problems,
principally by obtaining additional debt financing and/or equity capital. During
the nine months ended December 31, 2003, the Company received $75,511 in related
party debt financing (See notes 2 and 4). The Company has yet to generate an
internal cash flow, and until the sales of its product begins, the Company is
very dependent upon debt and equity funding. The Company must successfully
complete its research and development resulting in a saleable product. However,
there is no assurance that once the development of the product is completed and
finally gains Federal Drug and Administration clearance, that the Company will
achieve a profitable level of operations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
PLAN OF OPERATION
Kyto is in the development stage of its operations and was formed in March 1999
to acquire and develop early-stage compounds which may have potential use as
therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer and diseases of the immune
system. The Company intends to build itself into a biopharmaceutical company
that develops receptor-mediated technologies to control the uptake of vitamin
B12 by non-controlled proliferative cells. Vitamin B12 regulates one of two
major cellular pathways for the production of folates, the cell's primary source
of carbon and the progenitor for the synthesis of DNA.
Kyto is currently engaged in the development of a portfolio of potential
targeted biologic treatments based on:
i) the delivery of cytotoxic drugs to cancer cells using the vitamin B12 as a
Trojan Horse, ii) the therapeutic effect of vitamin B12 depletion by receptor
modulators, and iii) the use of monoclonal antibodies to block the vitamin B12
uptake by cancer cells.
Kyto's portfolio consists of molecules at the research and development stage
which may ultimately prove useful in the treatment of certain types of cancer
and inflammatory diseases. Kyto believes that there are several human
therapeutics applications for its drug candidates. Specifically, a number of
properties of the Company's drug delivery and vitamin B12 depletion technologies
suggest a potential role for its drug candidates in the therapy of solid tumors
such as colorectal and breast cancer in addition to treatment of leukemias.
The Company had not been profitable and had no revenues from operations since
its inception in March 1999. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency
of $258,035, deficit accumulated during development stage of $5,789,729 and a
stockholders' deficiency of $528,939 at December 31, 2003. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to
further implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company is currently a development stage company and its continued existence
is dependent upon the Company's ability to resolve its liquidity problems,
principally by obtaining additional debt financing and/or equity capital. The
Company has yet to generate an internal cash flow, and until the sales of its
product begins, the Company is very dependent upon debt and equity funding. The
Company must successfully complete its research and development resulting in a
saleable product. However, there is no assurance that once the development of
the product is completed and finally gains Federal Drug and Administration
clearance, that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations.
The Company has, as of the end of December 31, 2003, $371,972 in liabilities.
The Company estimates that it will require approximately $200,000 to meet
operating costs for this fiscal year, excluding research and development costs.
In addition, the Company is seeking up to two million dollars ($2,000,000) in
research and development funds.
7
To meet the projected cash requirements as stated above, the Company intends to
obtain cash loans from one or more of its stockholders, several of whom have
expressed a desire to provide operating loan funds for the Company.
Additionally, the Company intends to seek alliances with other pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies for product co-development. Management is also
looking to merger opportunities or to acquire companies and products to raise
capital.
The Company's plan of operation for the next twelve months is to continue to
focus its efforts on finding new sources of capital and on research activities
and the development of its drug candidates which maximize the utility and
application of its platform technologies. Management expects the Company to
incur additional operating losses over the next several years as research and
development efforts, preclinical and clinical testing activities and
manufacturing scale-up efforts expand. To date, we have not had any material
product sales and do not anticipate receiving any revenue from the sale of
products in the upcoming year. Our sources of working capital have been equity
financings and interest earned on investments.
The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of
factors, some of which are beyond management's control, such as financial market
trends and investors' appetite for new financings. It should also be emphasized
that, should the Company not be successful in completing its own financing
(either by debt or by the issuance of securities from treasury), the Company may
be unable to continue to operate as a going concern.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the
registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section
13(a)-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the
Registrant's President and Chief Executive Officer within the 90-day
period preceding the filing date of this quarterly report. The
registrant's President and Chief Executive Officer concluded that the
registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect
are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed
by the registrant in the reports it files or submits under the Act is
(i) accumulated and communicated to the registrant's management in a
timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls: In the Quarter ended December 31, 2003,
the registrant did not make any significant changes in, nor take any
corrective actions regarding, its internal controls or other factors
that could significantly affect these controls.
