Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2008, included in Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

The preparation of the Companys Consolidated Financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of managements estimates and assumptions relate to depreciation and amortization calculations; inventory valuations; asset impairments (including impairments of goodwill, long-lived assets, and investments); valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; reserves for contingencies and litigation; and the fair value and  accounting  treatment of financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on the Company's historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company has adopted Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. Product revenue is recognized upon shipment to customers. Contract services revenue is recognized as services are performed on a cost reimbursement basis. Royalties are recognized upon receipt.

Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contractsan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. This statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS No. 163 also clarifies how SFAS No. 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities to increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprises risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. The impact of adoption was not material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). The FSP clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. The FSP requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer's nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. The FSP requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations. The FSP requires retrospective application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods presented. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP APB 14-1 upon its financial statements.

The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The impact of adoption was not material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133. This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009. The impact of adoption was not material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Delay in Effective Date

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations. This Statement replaces the original SFAS No. 141. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS No. 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. The objective of SFAS No. 141(R) is to improve the relevance, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. To accomplish that, SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:

a.

Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree.

b.

Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase.

c.

Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.

This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The impact of adoption was not material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB No. 51. This Statement amends the original Accounting Review Board (ARB) No. 51 Consolidated Financial Statements to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an amendment of SFAS No. 115, which becomes effective for the Company on February 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The election of this fair-value option did not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Material Agreements

The Company receives licensing income under a license agreement with HR BioPetroleum, Inc (HRBP) that was signed in fiscal 2007. The agreement calls for the Company to receive $22,000 per month and grants HRBP access and use of the Companies facilities to perform a research project relating to large-scale cultivation and production of certain microalgae species, and grants HRBP license rights to a patent and other intellectual property owned by the Company. On January 9, 2009, the Company was informed that HRBP would not be renewing such license agreement. Unless a new agreement can be negotiated revenues received under this agreement will cease effective July 8, 2009.

We caution the reader, however, that these factors may not be exhaustive.

Since inception, our primary operating activities have consisted of basic research and development and production process development, recruiting personnel, purchasing operating assets, raising capital and sales of product. From September 16, 2002, the effective date of our plan of reorganization, through April 30, 2009 we had an accumulated deficit of $7,920,205. Our losses to date have resulted primarily from costs incurred in research and development, production costs and from general and administrative expenses associated with operations. We expect to continue to incur smaller operating losses through the current fiscal year. We also expect to have quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year fluctuations in revenues, expenses and losses, some of which could be significant.

We have a limited operating history. An assessment of our prospects should include the technology risks, market risks, expenses and other difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage operating companies, and particularly companies attempting to enter competitive industries with significant technology risks and barriers to entry. We have attempted to address these risks by, among other things, hiring and retaining highly qualified persons, diversifying our customer base and expanding revenue sources, e.g., by performing other contract services and increasing efforts to sell raw materials to other product formulators. However, our best efforts cannot guarantee that we will overcome these risks in a timely manner, if at all.

Results of Operations

Revenues.Revenue rose 36% for the quarter ending April 30, 2009 to $206,762 vs. $152,057 in the year ago quarter ending April 30, 2008.

Cost of Sales.Cost of goods sold was $1,937 for the quarter ending April 30, 2009 versus $6,732 in the quarter ending April 30, 2008 which was a 71% decrease as inventories continue to be brought into alignment to better reflect sales rates. There was a shifting of costs from production of existing products to research and development programs.

Research and Development Costs.Research and development costs increased to $72,788 for the quarter ending April 30, 31, 2009 versus $68,249 for the quarter ending April 30, 2008, an increase of approximately 6.7%.  The increase was due to the costs associated with the Companys technical service agreement and shift of personnel to work on the service agreement project with HRBioPetroleum.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.These expenses increased to $93,394 for the quarter ending April 30, 2009 as compared with $79,145 in the quarter ending April 30, 2008, a increase of 18% as the Company has, due to increased sales and revenue, hired additional sales and support staff to enable the Company to grow its sales and marketing division. The Company will also continue to contain expenses though the use of part time workers who are available on a call basis when needed.

Interest Expense. For the quarter ended April 30, 2009 versus 2008, interest expense was $1,252 and $2,442, respectively. This decrease was due to a lower level of borrowing by the Company during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008.
