Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are "forward-looking"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
"Litigation Reform Act"). These forward looking statements and other information
are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information
currently available.
The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "will,"
"should" and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with
respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated,
expected, intended or using other similar expressions.
In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making
investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to
future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q. For example,
given the cessation of our operations as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and
seller of advanced polymers on January 31, 2020, resulting from the sale of
substantially all of our assets to an independent third party, we became engaged
in efforts to identify either an (i) operating company to acquire or merge with
through an equity-based exchange transaction or (ii) investor interested in
purchasing a majority interest in our common stock, whereby either transaction
would likely result in a change in control. If we are unable to effect a
transaction with an operating company or investor, we may be required to cease
all operations, including liquidation through bankruptcy proceedings.
Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date
hereof. You are encouraged to review our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and to read and carefully consider the additional
information included in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2021, including but not limited to the Risk Factors discussed in Part
I, Item 1A. We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements
as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required
by law.
Business
On January 31, 2020 (the "Closing Date"), we completed the sale of substantially
all of our assets (the "Asset Sale") for a total purchase price of $7,250,000
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi
Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MCPP"). Prior to
the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer materials which
provide critical characteristics in the design and development of medical
devices. Our biomaterials were marketed and sold to medical device manufacturers
who used our advanced polymers in devices designed for treating a broad range of
anatomical sites and disease states.
As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer,
marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we
became engaged in efforts to identify an operating company to acquire or merge
with through an equity-based exchange transaction that would likely result in a
change in control. As our efforts in engaging with an operating company
subsequent to the Closing Date has not yet commenced, our activities are subject
to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to raise additional
capital if we are unable to identify an operating company desiring to acquire or
merge with us.
Management is seeking to identify an operating company and engage in a merger or
business combination of some kind, or acquire assets or shares of an entity
actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. Although we
have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they would have the
potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders, we have not
yet entered into any binding arrangements to merge with an operating company.
We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or
industry segment. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of
suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may
participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is
in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we
may incur further risk due to the inability of the target's management to have
proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for
the target's products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in
the next few years.
13
Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant
issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it
is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in
control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger,
with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting
acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting
acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the
financial statements of the operating company would become our financial
statements for all periods presented.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 to our financial
statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2021. However, certain of our accounting policies require
the application of significant judgment by our management, and such judgments
are reflected in the amounts reported in our financial statements. In applying
these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate
assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those estimates are
based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance
of market trends, information provided by our strategic partners and information
available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ
significantly from the estimates contained in our unaudited financial
statements. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies
during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 vs. December 31, 2020
Operating Expenses
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, our operating expenses were
approximately $40,000 as compared with $53,000 for the comparable prior year
period, a decrease of approximately $13,000, or 24.5%. Our operating expenses
are composed of those costs necessary to operate a public company, which are
primarily composed of management consultant fees, accounting fees, professional
fees, and regulatory fees. The decrease in these operating costs is primarily a
result of decreased accounting and management advisory fees which were reduced
in connection with the sale of shares to a private investor.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2021 vs. December 31, 2020
Operating Expenses
During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, our operating expenses were
approximately $256,000 as compared with $226,000 for the comparable prior year
period, an increase of approximately $30,000, or 13.3%. Our operating expenses
are composed of those costs necessary to operate a public company, which are
primarily composed of management consultant fees, accounting fees, professional
fees, and regulatory fees. The increase in these operating costs is primarily a
result of increased accounting fees in connection with the preparation and
filing of financial statements with regulatory agencies, and consulting fees in
connection with the evaluation of potential merger candidates.
Other Income
On May 20, 2021, we received a $22,000 cash deposit (the "Deposit") in
connection with a non-binding arrangement entered into with a private company
having an interest in a potential business combination with us. On August 12,
2021, we were notified by the private company of their intent to terminate the
arrangement. The arrangement provided that the Deposit was refundable, net of
all reasonable legal, advisory and regulatory fees incurred by us. Our legal,
advisory and regulatory fees exceeded the amount of the Deposit, accordingly,
there was no refund due to the private company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, we had cash of approximately $122,000 as compared to a
cash balance of approximately $128,000 as of March 31, 2021.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we had net cash of approximately
$206,000 used in operating activities. Our cash flows used in operating
activities is primarily a result of our net loss of approximately $234,000 which
was offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expense of
approximately $28,000. During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, we had
net cash of approximately $272,000 used in operating activities. Our cash flows
used in operating activities was primarily due to our (i) net loss of
approximately $226,000; (ii) increase in aggregate accounts payable and accrued
expenses of approximately $38,000; and (iii) increases in customer advances of
approximately $69,000. These uses of cash in operating activities were offset by
collections of accounts receivable of approximately $63,000.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we had net cash of $200,000
provided by financing activities which was a result of the issuance of an
additional 21,136,250 shares of our common stock to a private investor in
consideration of $200,000 in cash. During the nine months ended December 31,
2020, we had net cash of approximately $5,087,000 used in financing activities
as a result of the cash distribution of approximately $5,087,000 on April 23,
2020 to our stockholders of record as of April 16, 2020.
On January 31, 2020 (the "Closing Date"), we completed the sale of substantially
all of our assets (the "Asset Sale") for a total gross purchase price of
$7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and
Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MCPP").
Prior to the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer
materials which provide critical characteristics in the design and development
of medical devices. As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a
developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to
the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify potential operating
companies interested in merging into us through an equity-based exchange
transaction that would likely result in a change in control. As our efforts in
engaging with an operating company subsequent to the Closing Date has not
resulted in the execution of a definitive agreement to consummate such a
transaction, our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties,
including the need to raise additional capital if we are unable to identify an
operating company desiring to acquire or merge with us.
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three and nine months
ended December 31, 2021, we reported a net loss of approximately $40,000 and
$234,000, respectively. Cash flows of approximately $206,000 and $272,000 were
used in operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. As a result, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet
our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these
financial statements. Accordingly, management believes there is substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is seeking to identify an operating company for the purpose of
effecting a merger or business combination, or to acquire assets or shares of an
entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues.
Although we have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they
would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders,
we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements to merge with an operating
company.
We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or
industry segment. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of
suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may
participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is
in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we
may incur further risk due to the inability of the target's management to have
proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for
the target's products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in
the next few years.
Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant
issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it
is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in
control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger,
with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting
acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting
acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the
financial statements of the operating company would become our financial
statements for all periods presented.

Commitments
We do not have any long-term commitments as of December 31, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that
have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on
our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures
or capital resources.
