Item 1.  Business

 

Description of Business

 

MicroChannel Technologies Corporation (“the Company”) was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Octillion Corp. (“Octillion”).  Octillion spun off the Company’s issued and outstanding shares to Octillion’s shareholders on December 18, 2007, the date on which a registration statement was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company was incorporated under the name MultiChannel Technologies Corporation on February 28, 2005 in the State of Nevada, and changed to its existing name on April 4, 2005.

The Company is a development stage technology company focused on the identification, acquisition, and development of technologies and products which it believes have the potential for commercialization. The Company’s strategy is to initially acquire rights to technologies and products that are being developed by third parties, primarily universities and government agencies, through cooperative research and development agreements.  Until September 30, 2008, the Company’s research and development activities were focused on technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration, specifically the development of the Iowa State University Research Foundation Inc. (“ISURF”) Nerve Regeneration Technology.  On September 30, 2008, the Option Agreement and Sponsored Project Agreement between the Company and ISURF expired, thereby concluding the Company’s research and development of technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration.  Upon conclusion of these agreements with ISURF, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology.  The Company did not renew these agreements with ISURF.

 

The Company is currently undertaking efforts to identify new commercial opportunities, including other innovative medical and health care technologies.

 

Because the Company is a smaller reporting company certain disclosures otherwise required to be made on a Form 10-K are not required to be made by the Company.

 

The ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology

On April 29, 2005, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with ISURF (the “ISURF Agreement”), pertaining to ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology.  The ISURF Agreement granted the Company an exclusive worldwide option to obtain a license to make, use, and sell nerve regeneration products developed from the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology.  On October 13, 2005, the ISURF Agreement was amended to modify the payment due dates.   On November 12, 2007, the ISURF Agreement was amended to extend the ISURF Agreement to September 30, 2008 and increase the total amount due pursuant to the ISURF Agreement by $50,000 (the “Amended ISURF Agreement”). On September 30, 2008, the Amended ISURF Agreement expired, thereby concluding the Company’s research and development of

4


technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration.  Upon conclusion of the Amended ISURF Agreement, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology.  The Company did not renew the Amended ISURF Agreement or the Sponsored Project Agreement related to the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology. 

The Company is currently reviewing various biotechnologies and evaluating possible sponsored research arrangements with a number of educational institutions.  However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to identify a technology which will be commercially viable and with respect to which it can negotiate a sponsored research agreement on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs represent costs incurred to develop the Company’s technology incurred pursuant to its research agreement with ISURF. The ISURF Agreement includes salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, allocated overhead and facility occupancy costs, supplies, equipment purchase and repair and other costs. The Company charges all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred, except for prepayments, which are capitalized and amortized over the applicable period. 

 

Research and development resulted in income of $10,000 during the year ended August 31, 2009, due to the reversal of $10,000 previously accrued during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.  Research and development expense for the year ended August 31, 2008 and from the period of inception (February 28, 2005) to August 31, 2009 was $30,000 and $175,839, respectively. Research and development expense for these periods is comprised entirely of payments made pursuant to the ISURF Research Agreement.

 

Competition

 

The Company’s commercial success will depend on its ability and the ability of its sublicensees, if any, to compete effectively in product development areas such as, but not limited to, safety, efficacy, ease of use, patient or customer compliance, price, marketing and distribution. The Company’s competitors may succeed in developing products that are more effective than any products derived from the Company’s research and development efforts or that would render such products obsolete and non-competitive.

 

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are characterized by intense competition. The Company competes against numerous companies, both domestic and foreign, many of which have substantially greater experience and financial and other resources than the Company has. Most of the competition that the Company encounters will come from companies, research institutions and universities who are researching and developing technologies and products similar to or competitive with any the Company may develop. In fact, any of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies represents a significant actual or potential competitor with vastly greater resources than the Company’s.

 

These companies enjoy numerous competitive advantages, including:

 

·         significantly greater name recognition;

·         established relations with healthcare professionals, customers and third-party payors;

·         established distribution networks;

·         additional lines of products, and the ability to offer rebates, higher discounts or incentives to gain a competitive advantage;

·         greater experience in conducting research and development, manufacturing, clinical trials, obtaining regulatory, including of the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), approval for products, and marketing approved products; and

·         greater financial and human resources for product development, sales and marketing, and patent litigation.

 

As a result, the Company may not be able to compete effectively against these companies or their products.

 

Government and Safety Regulations

 

The Company is focusing its resources in an area subject to substantial governmental regulation.  The Company’s ability to remain viable will depend on favorable government decisions at various stages of the technology’s development by various agencies. From time to time, legislation is introduced that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing The Company’s research and development processes, as well as approval, manufacture and marketing of any products derived from such research and development activities.

Employees and Consultants

 

As of August 31, 2009, the Company does not have any employees. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer do not personally conduct any research activities.

 

The Company generally depends upon certain key collaborating scientific personnel, who are not employed by the Company, with respect to the continuing research and development efforts of the Company.

 

Item 2.  Properties

 

The Company's corporate office is located at 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, MD, 20866.  This premise is leased by the MVP Law Group, P.A, of which the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the founder.  The MVP Law Group, P.A. does not currently charge the Company rent to utilize this space.

 

Until August 31, 2008, the Company’s administrative office was located at 1628 West First Avenue, Suite 216, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6J 1G1. This premise in Vancouver, British Columbia is owned by a private corporation controlled by a former director and former majority shareholder of the Company.   Effective August 31, 2008, the Company closed its administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

 

Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

As of the date of this report, the Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. In addition, management is not aware of any known litigation or liabilities involving the operators of the Company’s properties that could affect its operations. Should any liabilities incur in the future, they will be accrued based on management’s best estimate of the potential loss. As such, there is no adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow at this time. Furthermore, the Company does not believe that there are any proceedings to which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates, any owner of record of the beneficially or more than five percent of the Company’s common stock, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

 

Item 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s security holders during its fiscal fourth quarter of the year ended August 31, 2009.

The Company is currently undertaking efforts to identify new commercial opportunities, including other innovative medical and health care technologies.

 

The ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology

 

On April 29, 2005, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with ISURF (the “ISURF Agreement”), pertaining to ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology.  The ISURF Agreement granted the Company an exclusive worldwide option to obtain a license to make, use, and sell nerve regeneration products developed from the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology.  On October 13, 2005, the ISURF Agreement was amended to modify the payment due dates.   On November 12, 2007, the ISURF Agreement was amended to extend the ISURF Agreement to September 30, 2008 and increase the total amount due pursuant to the ISURF Agreement by $50,000 (the “Amended ISURF Agreement”). On September 30, 2008, the Amended ISURF Agreement expired, thereby concluding the Company’s research and development of technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration.  Upon conclusion of the Amended ISURF Agreement, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology.  The Company did not renew the Amended ISURF Agreement or the Sponsored Project Agreement related to the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology. 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended ISURF Agreement, the Company had the right to negotiate the terms of its license with ISURF upon payment of a flat fee of $2,000 (which was paid) and provide funding for two research projects that were being conducted at ISU through the Company’s Sponsored Project Agreement.

 

Under terms of the Amended ISURF Agreement, the Company agreed to fund two research projects at ISU, the first of which was titled “Conduits with Micropatterned Films for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration,” in the amount of $205,839.  As of September 30, 2008, the expiration date of the Amended ISURF Agreement, the Company had paid $175,839 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.  Due to the inability of the researchers to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in the peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration technologies it was determined that the Company was not obligated to make the remaining $30,000 in payments pursuant to the terms of the Amended ISURF Agreement.  Upon termination of the Amended ISURF Agreement, the Company recorded a reversal of $10,000 previously accrued during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.   

 

Contingent upon satisfactory progress of the above project, the Company also agreed to provide an additional $73,166 for the second project, titled “Conduits with Micropatterned Films for Optic Nerve Regeneration,” which would test the efficacy of biodegradable micropatterned conduits on optic nerve regeneration.  The Company did not initiate the second research project.

Research and development

 

Research and development costs represent costs incurred to develop the Company’s technology incurred pursuant to its former research agreement with ISURF. The ISURF Agreement includes salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, allocated overhead and facility occupancy costs, supplies, equipment purchase and repair, and other costs. The Company charges all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred, except for prepayments, which are capitalized and amortized over the applicable period. 

 

Research and development resulted in income of $10,000 during the year ended August 31, 2009, due to the reversal of $10,000 previously accrued during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.  Research and development expense for the year ended August 31, 2008 was $30,000 and is comprised entirely of payments made pursuant to the ISURF Research Agreement.

 

Director and officer fees – related party

 

The Chief Executive Officer receives $1,250 per month for his services as an executive officer. The Chief Financial Officer receives $750 per month for his services as an executive officer.

 

During the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $24,000 and $14,000 as compensation for services that executive officers provided to the Company. 

 

Non-employee directors receive $250 per month for their services as directors.

 

During the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $3,000 and $2,200 as compensation for services that a non-employee director provided to the Company.   

 

Professional fees

 

Professional fees primarily consist of accounting, audit, tax, legal, and transfer agent fees. 

 

Professional fees increased during the year ended August 31, 2009 compared to the year ended August 31, 2008 substantially as a result of the Company closing its administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, effective August 31, 2008, terminating all of the employees in Vancouver, Canada.  Due to this downsizing, as of September 1, 2008, the Company began outsourcing its accounting function to third parties resulting in an increase in accounting fees of approximately $17,000 for the year ended August 31, 2009 compared to the prior year.  Legal fees increased approximately $3,000 during the year ended August 31, 2009 compared to the prior year due to the increased utilization of legal counsel for preparation and review of required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The increase in accounting and legal fees for the year ended August 31, 2009 compared to the prior year was offset by a decrease in transfer agent fees of approximately $2,800.  Transfer agent fees incurred during the year ended August 31, 2008 were substantially due to fees incurred related to the spin off of MicroChannel from Octillion Corp. on December 18, 2007.

Other operating expenses

 

Other operating expenses includes travel and entertainment, rent, office supplies, information technology related fees and other administrative costs.

 

Other income

 

Interest income

 

Interest income was $418 for the year ended August 31, 2009 compared to $8,429 for the year ended August 31, 2008.  The decrease in interest income is due to the Company closing its administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company transferred all of the funds in its interest bearing cash account maintained at a Canadian owned financial institution to a non-interest bearing bank account at a U.S. financial institution.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company incurred cumulative losses of $325,270 through August 31, 2009.  Due to the "start up" nature of the Company's business, the Company expects to incur losses as it continues to identify and develop new technologies.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary.  The Company is evaluating alternative sources of financing to improve its cash position and is undertaking efforts to raise capital, but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all.  If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company's principal source of liquidity is cash in the bank.  At August 31, 2009, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $241,845. The Company has financed its operations primarily from $400,000 received from Octillion Corp., its former parent company.  This amount was subsequently converted to equity as part of the spin-off in December 2007.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $86,415 for the year ended August 31, 2009 compared to net cash used of $70,795 for the year ended August 31, 2008.  The increase in cash used in operating activities is substantially attributable to the Company closing its administrative office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, effective August 31, 2008, terminating all of the employees in Vancouver, Canada.  Due to this downsizing, as of September 1, 2008, the Company began outsourcing its accounting function to third parties resulting in an increase in accounting fees.  In addition, there was an increase in legal fees as well as non-employee director and executive officer fees.  See “Related Party Transactions” below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors

MicroChannel Technologies Corporation

Burtonsville, Maryland

 

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MicroChannel Technologies Corporation ("the Company") (a development stage company) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the cumulative period from February 28, 2005 (inception), to August 31, 2009.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MicroChannel Technologies Corporation as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the cumulative period from February 28, 2005 (inception), to August 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations since inception and has a substantial accumulated deficit.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MICROCHANNEL TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

(A Development Stage Company)

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2009 and 2008

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

 

Note 1.  Organization and Description of Business

 

MicroChannel Technologies Corporation (“the Company”) was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Octillion Corp. (“Octillion”).  Octillion spun off the Company’s issued and outstanding shares to Octillion’s shareholders on December 18, 2007, the date on which a registration statement was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company was incorporated under the name MultiChannel Technologies Corporation on February 28, 2005 in the State of Nevada, and changed to its existing name on April 4, 2005.

 

On October 2, 2007, the Company executed a forward split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the basis of 53.8646 for 1, resulting in 53,864,600 common shares to be issued and outstanding.  The effects of the stock split have been retroactively applied to all periods presented.

 

On April 29, 2005, an Option Agreement (the “ISURF Agreement”) was executed between Iowa State University Research Foundation Inc., (“ISURF”) and the Company, pursuant to which the Company acquired an option to obtain a license to certain nerve regeneration technologies being developed by ISURF. On September 30, 2008, the ISURF Agreement expired, thereby concluding the Company’s research and development of technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration.  Upon conclusion of the ISURF Agreement, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology.  The Company did not renew the ISURF Agreement or the Sponsored Project Agreement related to the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology.  The Company is currently undertaking efforts to identify new commercial opportunities, including other innovative medical and health care technologies.

 

Note 2.  Going Concern Uncertainties

 

The Company is a development stage company, has not generated any revenues, has an accumulated deficit of $325,270 as of August 31, 2009, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business.

 

Due to the start-up nature of the Company’s business, the Company expects to incur additional losses as it continues to identify and develop new technologies. To date, the Company’s cash flow requirements have been met by $400,000 received from Octillion Corp., its former parent company.  Management recognizes that in order to meet the Company’s capital requirements, and continue to operate, additional financing will be necessary.  The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investments in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all.  Furthermore, there is no assurance that the net proceeds received from any successful financing arrangement will be sufficient to cover cash requirements during the initial stages of the Company’s operations.  If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. 

 

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Note 3:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

18


 

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.  Areas where management uses subjective judgment include valuation of equity instruments.  Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior fiscal year amounts or balances to conform to the presentation adopted in the current fiscal year.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of August 31, 2009 and 2008.  On occasion, the Company has amounts deposited with financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.

 

The Company has the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable.  The carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair value based on their liquidity.

Research and Development

                       

Research and development costs represent costs incurred to develop the Company’s technology, including salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, allocated overhead and facility occupancy costs, supplies, equipment purchase and repair, and other costs. Research and development costs are expensed when incurred, except for nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed. 

 

Research and development resulted in income of $10,000 during the year ended August 31, 2009, due to the reversal of $10,000 previously accrued during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.  Research and development expense for the year ended August 31, 2008 and from inception (February 28, 2005) to August 31, 2009 was $30,000 and $175,839, respectively, and is comprised entirely of payments made pursuant to the ISURF Research Agreement.

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). See Note 6. “Income Taxes” for further discussion.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

The computation of basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the year. The Company does not have any stock options or warrants outstanding that would be anti-dilutive. See Note 3. “Net Loss Per Share” for further discussion.

19


 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company’s business is considered as operating in one segment based upon the Company’s organizational structure, the way in which the operations are managed and evaluated, the availability of separate financial results and materiality considerations.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss) for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.

Related Party Transactions

 

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company.  A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principals, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (SFAS 168).  This statement modifies the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) hierarchy by establishing only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and nonauthoritative accounting literature. Effective July 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), also known collectively as the “Codification,” is considered the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards, except for additional authoritative rules and interpretive releases issued by the SEC.  Nonauthoritative guidance and literature would include, among other things, FASB Concepts Statements, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Issue Papers and Technical Practice Aids and accounting textbooks. The Codification was developed to organize GAAP pronouncements by topic so that users can more easily access authoritative accounting guidance.  It is organized by topic, subtopic, section, and paragraph, each of which is identified by a numerical designation.  SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company will adopt SFAS 168, effective September 1, 2009, the beginning of its first quarter ended November 30, 2009.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165), which defines and establishes the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity evaluates transactions and events for potential disclosure in the financial statements in addition to disclosing the date through which such events have been evaluated. SFAS 165 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In accordance with SFAS 165, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 24, 2009, which is the date on which these financial statements were issued.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement 157” (FSP 157-2), which allows for the deferral of the adoption date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 for the assets and liabilities within the scope of FSP 157-2 on September 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities to have a material impact on its financial statements.  In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive.  The guidance in FSP 157-3 was effective immediately and did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4), which provides additional guidance in determining when observable transaction prices or quoted prices in markets that have become less active require significant adjustments to estimate fair value.  FSP 157-4 supersedes FSP 157-3 and is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP 157-4 on June 1, 2009, the beginning of its fourth quarter ended August 31, 2009.  The application of FSP 157-4 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1 "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments".  FSP 107-1 amends SFAS 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. FSP 107-1 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods

20


ending after March 15, 2009. The Company has included the required disclosures pursuant to FSP 107-1 in this Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2009.

 

Note 3: Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company does not have any stock options or warrants outstanding that would be anti-dilutive.

 

For purposes of earnings per share computations, shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of a reporting period are included as outstanding.

 

Following is the computation of basic net loss per share for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008:

Note 4:  Option Interest in Nerve Regeneration Technologies

 

On April 29, 2005, an Option Agreement (the “ISURF Agreement”) was executed between Iowa State University Research Foundation Inc., (“ISURF”) and the Company, pursuant to which the Company acquired an option to obtain a license to certain nerve regeneration technologies being developed by ISURF. On October 13, 2005, the ISURF Agreement was amended to modify the payment due dates.   On November 12, 2007, the ISURF Agreement was amended to extend the ISURF Agreement to September 30, 2008 and increase the total amount due pursuant to the ISURF Agreement by $50,000 (the “Amended ISURF Agreement”). On September 30, 2008, the Amended ISURF Agreement expired, thereby concluding the Company’s research and development of technologies and products for peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration.  Upon conclusion of the Amended ISURF Agreement, researchers were unable to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in this technology.  The Company did not renew the Amended ISURF Agreement or the Sponsored Project Agreement related to the ISURF Nerve Regeneration Technology. 

 

The consideration payable pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement is summarized as follows:

 

-      Payment of $2,000 in option fees upon execution of the ISURF Agreement;

 

-       Payment of $155,839 to support the research project entitled “Conduits with Micropatterned Film for Peripheral Nerve   Regeneration” of which $50,000 was due within 90 days of execution of the ISURF Agreement, and four subsequent equal payments of $26,460 each due quarterly, beginning on January 31, 2006.  An additional $50,000 was payable in five equal installments of $10,000 each due every two months upon the execution of the Amended ISURF Agreement on November 12, 2007.  As of August 31, 2009, the Company had paid $155,839 pursuant to the original ISURF Agreement and $20,000 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement. 

 

-          Contingent upon satisfactory progress and success of the above project, provide an additional $73,166 for the project entitled “Conduits with Micropatterned Films for Optic Nerve Regeneration”.  The Company did not initiate the second research project.

 

Due to the inability of the researchers to identify suitable, commercially-available cells for use in the peripheral and optic nerve damage and nerve regeneration technologies it was determined that the Company was not obligated to make the remaining $30,000 in payments pursuant to the terms of the Amended ISURF Agreement.  During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company recorded a reversal of $10,000 previously accrued during the quarter ended May 31, 2008 pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.  During the year ended August 31, 2008 and the period from inception (February 28, 2005) to August 31, 2009, the

21


Company recorded research and development expense of $30,000 and $175,839, respectively, pursuant to the Amended ISURF Agreement.

 

Note 5: Related Party Transactions

 

During the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $24,000 and $14,000 as compensation for services that executive officers provided to the Company.  Please refer to “ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION”.

 

During the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred $3,000 and $2,200 as compensation for services that a non-employee director provided to the Company.  Please refer to “ITEM 10: DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE”.

 

As of August 31, 2009, the Company owed $2,250 to executive officers and a non-employee director for services rendered to the Company, which is included in accounts payable.

 

The Company's corporate office is located at 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, MD, 20866.  This premise is leased by the MVP Law Group, P.A, of which the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the founder.  The MVP Law Group, P.A. does not currently charge the Company rent to utilize this space.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets at August 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

The net increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $26,060 and $40,057 for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.  The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current operations. 

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Company has net U.S. operating loss carry forwards at August 31, 2009 available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, of $158,584, which will begin to expire during the year ended August 31, 2027.  Accordingly, there is no current tax expense for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.  In addition, the Company has research and development tax credit carry forwards of $1,963 at August 31, 2009, which are available to offset federal income taxes and begin to expire during the year ended August 31, 2028.

 

The utilization of the tax net operating loss carry forwards may be limited due to ownership changes that have occurred as a result of sales of common stock.

 

The effects of state income taxes were insignificant for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.

This annual 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 SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

COMPENSATION OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

 

The Company does not pay director compensation to directors who are also employees of the Company.  The Company’s Board of Directors determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals:

 

 

 

 

Non-employee directors receive $250 per month for their services as directors.  The Company also reimburses directors for any actual expenses incurred to attend meetings of the Board.

 

During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company paid $3,000 to Pattiann Hiranandani as compensation for services rendered as a non-employee director.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

 

Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, the executive officers and directors of the Company in addition to any person who owns more than 10% of the common stock of the Company are required to report their ownership of the common stock of the Company and changes to such ownership with the SEC.  Based on a review of such reports and information provided to the Company, the Company believes that during the most recent fiscal year the executive officers and directors of the Company have complied with applicable filing requirements under Section 16(a) within the reporting time frame required by the SEC.

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees, including its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, which complies with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) listing standards. Accordingly, the Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing, and to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full, timely, accurate and clear public disclosures, compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics, and accountability. To obtain a copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics contact the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Meetesh Patel, 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, MD  20866.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

The Company has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines applicable to its Board of Directors. To obtain a copy of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines contact the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Meetesh Patel, 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, MD  20866.

 

Director Independence

 

The Company is not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, is not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. However, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that Mrs. Pattiann Hiranandani is independent from the Company’s management and qualifies as an “independent directors” under the standards of independence under the applicable FINRA listing standards.  This means that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, Mrs. Hiranandani is not (1) an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries and (2) does not have any direct or indirect relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of her independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  Upon the Company’s listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, it will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.

26


 

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

 

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, the Board held one meeting.  All members of the Board attended this meeting of the Board.

 

The Company does not currently have any standing committees of the Board of Directors.  The full Board is responsible for performing the functions of:  (i) the Audit Committee, (ii) the Compensation Committee and (iii) the Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Audit Committee.  The full Board performs the principal functions of the Audit Committee.  The full Board monitors the Company's financial reporting process and internal control system and reviews and appraises the audit efforts of the Company's independent accountants.

 

Compensation Committee.

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Compensation Committee.  The full Board establishes overall compensation policies for the Company and reviews recommendations submitted by the Company’s management.

 

Nominating Committee.

 

The Board does not currently have a standing Nominating Committee.  The Company does not maintain a policy for considering nominees.  The Company’s Bylaws provides that the number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board, but in no event shall be less than the minimum required by law.  The Board shall be large enough to maintain the Company’s required expertise but not too large to function efficiently.  Director nominees are recommended, reviewed and approved by the entire Board.  The Board believes that this process is appropriate due to the relatively small number of directors on the Board and the opportunity to benefit from a variety of opinions and perspectives in determining director nominees by involving the full Board. 

 

While the Board is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of directors, the Board may consider nominees recommended by stockholders as it deems appropriate. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Meetesh Patel, 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, MD  20866, that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors. The recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected.

 

Communications with the Board of Directors

 

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so by addressing their correspondence to the Board of Directors at MicroChannel Technologies Corporation, Attention: Meetesh Patel, 3905 National Drive, Suite 110, Burtonsville, MD  20866.   The Board of Directors has approved a process pursuant to which they shall review and forward correspondence to the appropriate director or group of directors for response.
