Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this report discuss our plans and strategies
for our business or state other forward-looking statements, as this term is
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that
are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "plan,"
"intend," "should," "seek," "will," and similar expressions are intended to
identify these forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of
identifying them. These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of
our management. However, various risks, uncertainties and contingencies could
cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from
those expressed in, or implied by, these statements. See our Form 10-K for the
year ended February 28, 2019 for a discussion of certain known risks; also see
Part II, Item 1A.
Overview, Background and History
We are currently a "shell company" with no meaningful assets or operations other
than our efforts to identify and merge with an operating company. We no longer
have any full-time employees and our Chief Executive and Chief Financial
Officers serve on a part-time consulting basis.
Prior to March 2003, our business had been focused on pre-revenue development
and commercialization of disposable medical devices designed to enhance the
effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging in detection and diagnosis of heart
disease. Due to the unavailability of funding, beginning in the fall of 2002 we
essentially ceased all of our operations including product development and
commercialization activities. Our efforts to realize value for our prior
business and MRI technology have been unsuccessful. As a result, we view our
most viable option to be merging with an unrelated operating company that would
benefit from our status as a reporting company in a so-called "reverse merger"
transaction. Entering into a "reverse merger" would likely involve very
substantial dilution to the existing stockholders. It would, however, provide an
opportunity to return some value to stockholders. While we have identified and
explored merging with a number of candidates over the past few years and entered
into definitive agreements with one candidate (which agreement was subsequently
terminated), we have no commitments to merge with any company at the present
time.
In January 2017, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO")
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the
Company. Under the Purchase Agreement, the CEO purchased all of the intellectual
property rights, any and all physical assets, any and all permits and all
non-financial books, records, files, design specification, software and other
data related to the Company's magnetic resonance imaging technology. In exchange
for purchased assets, the CEO (a) assumed all liabilities of the Company related
exclusively to the purchased assets and (b) agreed to forgiveness of all
indebtedness owing from the Company totaling approximately $110,000 including
intellectual property counsel fees and costs, $68,000 of which had been paid by
and is therefore due to the CEO for payments he has made on the Company's behalf
in prior years in an attempt to preserve certain intellectual property rights at
that time. The CEO ceased making such payments several years ago and, as such,
the underlying intellectual property became compromised.
In order to raise cash to continue our efforts to pursue a reverse merger, on
October 31, 2005, the Company consummated a stock purchase agreement with Magna
Acquisition LLC ("MALLC") which resulted in a change of control of our Company.
Under the agreement, we sold 300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to MALLC for
gross proceeds of $190,000, before expenses. Contemporaneous with the new
investment, MALLC purchased from our former principal stockholder 307,727 shares
of the Company's Class A Common Stock, representing all the shares of our common
stock owned by that stockholder. Two of our directors and our Chief Financial
Officer serve as sole managers of MALLC, with the ability to vote and dispose of
the shares of our Company owned by MALLC by majority vote. These directors have
assumed a lead role with management in pursuing financing and merger candidates
and operating matters.
MALLC has been responsible for substantially all of our funding since October
2005 and until December 2018. During the period from October 2005 through and
including December 31, 2018, MALLC loaned us an aggregate approximately $687,000
under a series of promissory notes payable that mature 120 days from issuance.
At November 30, 2019, approximately $687,000 face amount of such notes were
beyond their maturity date and therefore due on demand. The notes bore interest
at 12% per year which increased to 15% per year for periods beyond maturity.
During 2019, a director of the Company loaned the Company an aggregate of
approximately $17,000 under unsecured notes payable with substantially the same
terms as the MALLC notes payable except that the interest rate decreased from
12% to 10% and the penalty interest rate decreased from 15% to 12%. The Company
intends to make a proposal to MALLC and to this director to convert all of the
amounts outstanding to them (including overdue amounts) into common stock of the
Company.

While we have reduced our expenditures very significantly, we do not have
sufficient cash to continue our activities for the coming twelve months. We
currently do not have any commitments for new funding.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - At November 30, 2019, the
Company had approximately $1,000 cash and approximately $1,768,000 in negative
working capital and stockholders' deficit and negative cash flows from
operations. For the nine months ended November 30, 2019, the Company had a net
loss of approximately $103,000 and utilized approximately $20,000 of cash in
operating activities. Further, losses are continuing subsequent to November 30,
2019. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company is in need of
additional financing or a strategic arrangement in order to continue its planned
activities for the fiscal year that began on March 1, 2019. These factors, among
others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
operations as a going concern.
Our plan of operations for the coming twelve months is to pursue our "reverse
merger" strategy by seeking, evaluating and negotiating with merger candidates
and to continue to take actions to preserve our cash and continue our public
reporting. We do not have the cash resources to continue our plan for the coming
twelve months, even at our reduced expenditure levels. As such, we may have to
take further measures or cease activities altogether, including terminating our
public reporting status.
We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Results of Operations - During the three and nine months ended November 30,
2019, our net loss was approximately $34,000 and $103,000, respectively,
compared to a net loss of approximately $33,000 and $115,000, respectively, in
the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018. The decrease in the loss is
due principally to lower costs of occupancy and insurance as the Company made
reductions in these expenses. Such decreases were offset somewhat by the higher
debt levels and higher default interest in the three and nine months ended
November 30, 2019 that resulted in an increase in interest expense.
Our expenses, particularly professional and consulting fees, can increase
significantly if we are actively engaged in negotiations for a merger
transaction. There can be no assurance that any of our activities will result in
any transaction. Our interest expenses are increasing with additional
outstanding borrowings which are increasingly at default interest rates (15% on
outstanding debt to MALLC and 12% on outstanding director notes).
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements -
The Company has no material off balance sheet arrangements that are likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
resources or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Principles -
We have identified critical accounting principles that affect our interim
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements by considering accounting
policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments as
well as considering newly adopted principals. They are:
Going Concern Consideration - Our interim unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming we are a "going concern." We
are in need of immediate substantial additional capital or a strategic business
arrangement in order to continue our planned activities. There can be no
assurance that our plans to address this need can be realized. As such, we may
be unable to continue operations as a going concern. No adjustments have been
made in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that
could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
