Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
SentiSearch, Inc. (we,
our, SentiSearch, and the Company) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Sentigen Holding Corp. (Sentigen) until the December 1, 2006 spin-off, discussed below. We are
a development stage company and have a limited operating history. We were incorporated in the
State of Delaware on October 3, 2006 to hold the olfaction intellectual property assets of Sentigen
Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries.
On October 10, 2006, in connection with its merger with Invitrogen Corporation, Sentigen
separated its olfaction intellectual property assets from the businesses being acquired by
Invitrogen Corporation. The distribution of SentiSearch shares to the shareholders of Sentigen,
commonly referred to as a spin-off, took place immediately prior to the consummation of the
merger. In connection with the distribution, on October 10, 2006, we entered into a distribution
agreement with Sentigen, pursuant to which Sentigen contributed $250,000 to our capital. Also on
October 10, 2006, we entered into a contribution agreement with Sentigen, pursuant to which
Sentigen transferred to us all of its olfaction intellectual property. The olfaction intellectual
property assets primarily consist of an exclusive license agreement with The Trustees of Columbia
University in the City of New York (Columbia), dated April 10, 2000 (the Columbia License), and
certain patent applications titled Nucleic Acids and Proteins of Insect or 83b odorant receptor
genes and uses thereof.
During July 2007, we were issued two patents in the United States, during November 2007, we
were issued one patent in Australia and during April 2008, we were issued one patent in Mexico.
Three of these patents were issued directly to us and the other patent was issued under the
Columbia License. All of the issued patents cover nucleic acid molecules which encode insect
odorant receptor proteins, including numerous variations on insect odorant receptor coding
sequence. The patents cover any nucleic acid molecule as long as the protein it encodes contains a
short segment of amino acids, linked together.
While we believe our technology capabilities in the olfaction area are substantial, up to this
point, we have incurred substantial operating losses. There have been no revenues from operations
to date. Although we have an exclusive license agreement with Columbia, only one patent has been
issued under the License Agreement and we cannot provide any assurance that our additional patent
applications will be successful. We intend to continually review the commercial validity of our
olfaction technology in order to make the appropriate decisions as to the best way to allocate our
limited resources.
2. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements for the period April 10, 2000 (Commencement of Business) to June 30,
2008 differ from the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows that would have been
achieved had we been operated independently during the periods from April 10, 2000 through June 30,
2008. Our business was operated within Sentigen Holding Corp. as part of its broader corporate
organization rather than as a stand-alone company. Our historical financial statements do not
reflect the expense of certain corporate functions that we would have needed to perform if we were
not a wholly-owned subsidiary.
We are a development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB)
Statement No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. Our planned
principal operations have not yet commenced. We intend to establish a new business. We have not
generated any revenues from operations and have no assurance of any future revenues. All losses
accumulated since commencement of our business have been considered as part of our development
stage activities.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
a.
|
Interim Period
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of
Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements have been
prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments,
which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of June 30, 2008, the results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The results for the six months ended June
30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent
quarter or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
|
|
|
|
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commissions
(SEC) rules and regulations.
|
7
|
|
|
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 as included in
the Companys report on Form 10-KSB. There have been no changes in significant accounting
policies since December 31, 2007.
|
|
|
b.
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
|
|
|
c.
|
|
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The
Company maintains its cash accounts at high quality financial institutions with balances, at
times, in excess of federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had cash
balances in excess of federally insured limits of $ 356,663. Management believes that the
financial institutions that hold the Companys deposits are financially sound and therefore
pose minimal credit risk.
|
|
|
d.
|
|
License Costs
The costs of intangible assets that are purchased from others for use in
research and development activities and that have alternative future uses (in research and
development projects or otherwise) are accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The amortization of those intangible assets
used in research and development activities is a research and development cost. However,
the costs of intangibles that are purchased from others for a particular research and
development project and that have no alternative future uses (in other research and
development projects or otherwise) and therefore no separate economic values are research
and development costs at the time the costs are incurred. We determined that the licensing
costs arising from our exclusive licensing agreement with The Trustees of Columbia
University have alternative future uses. These costs have been capitalized and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis through April 2010 (see Note 6).
|
|
|
e.
|
|
Impairment
Intangible and long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully
recoverable. A review for impairment includes comparing the carrying value of an asset to
an estimate of the undiscounted net future cash inflows over the life of the asset or fair
market value. An asset is considered to be impaired when the carrying value exceeds the
calculation of the undiscounted net future cash inflows or fair market value. An impairment
loss is defined as the amount of the excess of the carrying value over the fair market value
of the asset. We believe that none of our intangible and long-lived assets are impaired as
of June 30, 2008 (see Note 6).
|
|
|
f.
|
|
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
|
|
|
g.
|
|
Income Taxes
Certain income and expense items are accounted for differently for
financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of
assets and liabilities and the tax effect of net operating loss and tax credit
carry-forwards applying the enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established if it is
determined to be more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be recovered.
|
|
|
h.
|
|
Loss Per Share
The accompanying financial statements include loss per share calculated
as required by FASB Statement No. 128 Earnings Per Share on a pro-forma basis as if we
were a separate entity from the period April 10, 2000 (commencement of business) until
October 3, 2006 (our date of incorporation). Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss
per share include the effects of securities convertible into common stock, consisting of
stock options, to the extent such conversion would be dilutive. FASB Statement No. 128
prohibits adjusting the denominator of diluted Earnings Per Share for additional potential
common shares when a net loss from continuing operations is reported. The assumed exercise of
common stock equivalents was not utilized for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 since the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2008, $575,000 options were outstanding and exercisable.
|
|
|
i.
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short-term
maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Companys notes payable
approximate fair value because the effective yield of such instruments, which includes the
effects of contractual interest rates taken together with any discounts, is consistent with
current market rates of interest for instruments of comparable credit risk.
|
|
|
|
|
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). There was no impact on the Companys financial
position, results of operation or cash flows as of June 30, 2008 and for the six months then
ended as a result of FAS 157.
|
8
|
|
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (FAS 159). There was
no impact on the Companys financial position, results of operation or cash flows as of
June 30, 2008 and for the six months then ended as a result of FAS 159.
|
|
|
j.
|
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based
compensation expense represents share-based payment
awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based upon the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes
compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized based upon awards ultimately expected to vest, reduced
for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of
grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from
those estimates.
|
|
|
|
The expected term of stock options represents the average period the stock options are
expected to remain outstanding and is based on the expected term calculated using the
approach prescribed by SAB 107 for plain vanilla options. The Company used this approach as
it did not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about
future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The expected stock
price volatility for the Companys stock options was determined by examining the historical
volatilities for industry peers for periods that meet or exceed the expected term of the
options, using an average of the historical volatilities of the Companys industry peers as
the Company did not have sufficient trading history for the Companys common stock. The
Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term
assumption as more historical data for the Companys common stock becomes available. The
risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was
consistent with the expected term of the Companys stock options. The expected dividend
assumption is based on the Companys history and expectation of dividend payouts.
|
|
|
|
The Company accounts for its issuances of stock-based compensation to non-employees for
services using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in SFAS 123R and EITF 96-18.
Accordingly, the value of any awards that were vested and non forfeitable at their date of
issuance were measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of
issuance. The non-vested portion of awards that are subject to the future performance of the
counterparty are adjusted at each reporting date to their fair values based upon the then
current market value of the Companys stock and other assumptions that management believes
are reasonable. The Company believes that the fair value of the stock options issued to
non-employees is more reliably measurable then the fair value of the services rendered. The
fair value of the stock options granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model as prescribed by SFAS 123R.
|
4. Notes Payable
On June 21, 2007, we entered into demand promissory notes in favor of each of Mr. Frederick R.
Adler, Mr. Joseph K. Pagano, D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp. and Mr. Samuel A. Rozzi (together,
the Lenders), providing for loans to us in the principal amount of $50,000, $50,000, $50,000 and
$30,000, respectively, for an aggregate amount of $180,000. The promissory notes accrued interest at
Citibank N.A.s reported prime rate plus 3%, which was due and payable at the time the principal
amount of each respective promissory note became due. The promissory notes had a maturity date of
June 22, 2009. Each Lender had the right to demand the payment of all of the outstanding principal and interest
of his or its respective promissory note at any time prior to the maturity date. At the time of the loan transaction, each of the
Lenders was a beneficial owner of 5% or more of our common stock. In addition, Mr. Pagano is our
Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Adler is a member of
the Board of Directors.
In May and June 2008, the promissory notes were converted into subscriptions
to purchase common stock of the Company (see note 5). The accrued interest expense related to the promissory notes amounted to
$16,921, of which $5,621 was paid out in cash and $8,165 was converted into the subscriptions. As of June 30, 2008, accounts payable and accrued expenses includes $3,135 of accrued interest
payable related to the promissory notes, which was paid in the third quarter of 2008.

During
the second quarter of 2008, the Company closed on a financing in two
tranches for an aggregate amount of $950,000. On May 9, 2008, the Company closed on the first
tranche of the financing, for an aggregate amount of $750,000, which consisted of cash in the
amount of $563,986 and the conversion of $186,014 of indebtedness. Participants in the first
tranche of the financing subscribed for an aggregate of 3,947,363 shares of common stock, based on
the closing price of $0.19 per share of the Companys common stock on the closing date. On June 20,
2008, the Company closed on the second tranche of the financing, for an aggregate amount of 200,000
of which $145,980 was subscribed for, consisting of cash in the amount of $62,240 and the conversion
of $83,740 of indebtedness. Participants in the second tranche of the financing subscribed for an
aggregate of 768,315 shares of common stock, based on the closing price of $0.19 per share of the
Companys common stock on the closing date.
Prior
to the issuance of any shares of common stock pursuant to the financing, the Company was required to receive
the approval of the Companys stockholders to amend the Companys Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number
of authorized shares of common stock to permit the financing shares to be issued (Stockholder
Approval). The Company received Stockholder Approval at the annual meeting of stockholders on
June 24, 2008.
Participants in
the financings consisted of eleven of our largest stockholders (each holding 50,000 or more shares
of our common stock), including, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, a director,
and certain holders of 5% or more of the Companys common stock. All eleven stockholders participated
in the first tranche of the financing and six stockholders (including a director) participated in
the second tranche of the financing. Two stockholders elected to exercise their over-allotment
options during the third quarter of 2008.
6. Exclusive License Agreement
On April 10, 2000, Sentigen Biosciences, Inc. (Sentigen Biosciences), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Sentigen Holding Corp. (Sentigen), entered into a license agreement with The
Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia) for an exclusive worldwide
right to Columbias patent applications and other proprietary rights in the areas of insect
chemosensation and olfaction (the Columbia License).
In consideration of the Columbia License, Columbia was issued 75,000 shares of Sentigen common
stock and will receive royalties of 1% of the net sales of any licensed products or services. The
Columbia License had certain minimum funding requirements, all of which have been satisfied.
On October 10, 2006, we entered into a contribution agreement with Sentigen pursuant to which
Sentigen transferred to us all of its olfaction intellectual property, including the Columbia
License. On October 17, 2006, Columbia consented to the assignment of the Columbia License from
Sentigen Biosciences to SentiSearch subject to certain conditions, all of which have already been
satisfied to the extent currently required.
The value of this license agreement is recorded as license costs, net of accumulated
amortization on the accompanying balance sheet. The original value of the license costs reflects
the closing share price of Sentigen Holding Corp.s common stock on April 10, 2000. The value of
the license costs, net of amortization as of June 30, 2008 was $60,000.
Intangible and long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. A
review of our olfaction technology was performed by Charter Capital Advisers, Inc. in August 2006
which concluded that the estimated range of fair value was $120,000 to $190,000. An impairment
loss of $122,996 was recognized as amortization expense in August 2006 as the amount of the excess
of the carrying value over the fair market value of the asset.
The license costs are being amortized on a straight line basis through April 2010. The
following table details the expected amortization costs of the license over the next two years:

7. Patent Costs
During July 2007, we were issued two patents in the United States, during November 2007, we
were issued a patent in Australia and during May 2008, we were issued a patent in Mexico. One of
the U.S. patents, the Australia and Mexico patents were issued directly to us and the other U.S. patent was
issued under the Columbia License. All of the issued patents cover nucleic acid molecules which encode insect odorant receptor
proteins, including numerous variations on insect odorant receptor coding sequence. The patents
cover any nucleic acid molecule as long as the protein it encodes contains a short segment of amino
acids, linked together.
The original value of the patent costs, mainly consisting of legal fees in the amount of
$59,148, is recorded as patent costs, net of accumulated amortization on the accompanying balance
sheet. The value of the patent costs, net of amortization as of June 30, 2008 was $45,647.
The patent costs are being amortized on a straight line basis through April 2010, the
remaining term of the license costs. The following table details the expected amortization costs

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of
the underlying stock options and the fair value of the Companys common stock at the time ($0.23)
for stock options that are in-the-money as of June 30, 2008.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the quarter ended June
30, 2008 amounted to $.03. The weighted-average contractual term gives effect to terminations.
There was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options at June 30, 2008.
Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation
On March 27, 2008 and May 14, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 425,000 and
100,000 shares of its common stock to four individuals for consulting services rendered to the Company and a director, respectively,
each at an exercise price of $.19 per share and term of ten years. The terms of the consulting arrangements
are for five years. The fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant was $.07
per
11
share. The options vested as follows: 258,334 immediately, 133,333 on the first anniversary and
133,333 on the second anniversary. Assumptions related to the estimated fair value of these stock
options on their date of grant, which the Company estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model, are as follows: risk-free interest rate of 3.56%; expected dividend yield of zero percent;
expected option life of ten years; and expected volatility of 17.36%. The aggregate grant date fair
value of the award amounted to $36,698. The Company recorded $21,553 of consulting expense during
the six months ended June 30, 2008 with respect to these awards.
Total compensation expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to
$21,553. The stock-based compensation expense will fluctuate as the fair market value of the
common stock fluctuates. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the
six months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $0.07 per share. Total unamortized compensation
expense related to unvested stock options at June 30, 2008 amounted to $15,145 and is expected to
be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 10 years.

9. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combination (SFAS 141R), which
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures
in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and
measuring goodwill acquired in a business combination and determines what information to disclose
to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS 141R 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. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material impact on
our financial conditions or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated
Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160) which establishes 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. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a
material impact on our financial conditions or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 gives
financial statement users better information about the reporting entitys hedges by providing for
qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative
data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of
credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods
within those years. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on our
financial condition
12
or results of operations. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but no yet effective accounting
pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
As of June 25, 2008, the Company has entered into a sublease for office space in West Palm
Beach, Florida. The lease has a term of one year, with an option to
renew for an additional year. The lease requires twelve monthly payments of approximately $1,480, including state
sales tax, through June 2009.
11. Related Party Transactions
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
made interest-free demand loans to the Company in the aggregate of $106,914. The loans were pursuant
to a Revolving Credit Note dated as of March 10, 2008, which would have matured on March 10, 2009. The total
aggregate amount of $106,914 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Note on May 9, 2008, was
applied to Mr. Paganos participation in the Companys financing that closed on May 9, 2008 (see
note 5).
Please refer to Note 4 regarding additional related party transactions.
12. Subsequent Events
On
July 9, 2008, the Company raised $54,020 of additional funds from the unsubscribed portion
of the second tranche of the financing from two investors who participated in the June 20, 2008 closing and desired to
exercise their over-allotment option (see note 5). The Company issued an aggregate of 337,424 shares of its common stock in connection with the over-allotment
exercise, based on the closing price of $0.16 per share of the Companys common stock on July 9, 2008.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-looking Information
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto, included elsewhere within this report. This Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act,
including statements using terminology such as can, may, believe, designed to, expect,
intend to, plan, anticipate, estimate, potential or continue, or the negative thereof
or other comparable terminology regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the
future. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
|
|
|
discuss our future expectations;
|
|
|
|
|
contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and
|
|
|
|
|
state other forward-looking information.
|
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results and the timing of certain events
could differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including those set forth under our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2007. All forward-looking statements and risk factors included in this document are
made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of the date thereof, and we
assume no obligations to update any forward-looking statement or risk factor, unless we are
required to do so by law.
Introduction
SentiSearch, Inc. (SentiSearch or we or us or
our or the Company) is a Delaware
corporation that was incorporated on October 3, 2006. We were previously a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Sentigen Holding Corp. (Sentigen) and were incorporated solely for the purposes of holding the
olfaction intellectual property assets of Sentigen and its then subsidiary, Sentigen Biosciences,
Inc. (Sentigen Biosciences). Prior to the merger between Sentigen and Invitrogen Corporation
(Invitrogen) that was consummated on December 1, 2006, Sentigen separated its olfaction
intellectual property assets from the businesses to be acquired by Invitrogen. This separation was
accomplished through the contribution of Sentigens olfaction intellectual property assets to us on
October 10, 2006 and the subsequent spin-off in which Sentigen distributed 100% of its ownership
interest in us to its then stockholders on December 1, 2006. As a result of this spin-off, we
became a public, stand-alone company.
The olfaction intellectual property assets that we hold primarily consist of an exclusive
worldwide license issued by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York
(Columbia), as described in more detail below (the Columbia License), and certain patent
applications titled Nucleic Acids and Proteins of Insect or 83b odorant receptor genes and uses
thereof. The olfaction intellectual property assets are also referred to herein as our olfaction
intellectual property.
The Columbia License provides us with worldwide rights to certain of Columbias patent
applications and other rights in the areas of insect chemosensation and olfaction. The Columbia
License gives us an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, have made, import, use, sell,
distribute, rent or lease (i) any product or service the development, manufacture, use, sale,
distribution, rental or lease of which is covered by a claim of a patent licensed to us under the
Columbia License or (ii) any product or service that involves the know-how, confidential
information and physical materials conveyed by Columbia to us relating to the patents licensed from
Columbia (collectively, the Licensed Products/Services). In addition to certain funding
requirements by Sentigen, all of which were satisfied, in consideration of the Columbia License,
Columbia was issued 75,000 shares of Sentigen common stock and will receive royalties of 1% of the
net sales of any Licensed Products/Services.
In addition to the Columbia License, we have certain patent applications relating to
nucleic acids and proteins of insect or 83b odorant receptor genes and their uses. These patent
applications relate to the isolation of a gene that appears to be ubiquitous among insects. This
gene has been identified in various species of insects, including many that have a profound effect
on agricultural production and human health. The identification of this gene, and the protein that
it expresses, may enable the development of high-throughput screening methods to discover compounds
that attract insects to a particular site (and away from one where their presence is undesirable),
or develop materials that are distasteful to the insects sense of smell, thereby making
agricultural products, for example, undesirable to them.
While we believe our technology capabilities in the olfaction area are substantial, up to
this point, we have incurred substantial operating losses. There were no revenues from operations
for the three months ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, we held
14
three patents directly with another patent being issued under our License Agreement. We cannot
provide any assurance that our additional patent applications will be successful. We intend to
continually review the commercial validity of our olfaction technology in order to make the
appropriate decisions as to the best way to allocate our limited resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in managements view,
important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and demanding of
managements judgment. Our critical accounting policies include impairment of intangibles.
Our intangible assets consist of license costs of $499,773 as of the six-months ended
June 30, 2008, as compared with $ 440,625 as of the six-months ended June 30, 2007 and are the
result of the Columbia License and certain patents. The value of the Columbia License reflects the
closing share price of Sentigens common stock on April 10, 2000 (the closing date of the Columbia
License) multiplied by the 75,000 shares of Sentigen common stock issued to Columbia University
less accumulated amortization. The value of the license is subject to an amortization period of 10
years. Management reviews the value of the license for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. A review
for impairment was conducted by an outside firm that concluded the fair market value of the
olfaction technology was between $120,000 and $190,000 as of August 2006. The license is considered
to be impaired when the carrying value exceeds the calculation of the undiscounted net future cash
inflows or fair market value. An impairment loss of $122,996 was recognized as amortization expense
in August 2006 by Sentigen. We believe no further impairment loss is necessary as of June 30, 2008.
Results of Operation
General
We are a development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standard Board
(FASB) Statement No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. Our planned
principal operations have not yet commenced and we have one employee. We intend to establish a new
business. We have not generated any revenues from operations and have no assurance of any future
revenues. All losses accumulated since commencement of our business have been considered as part of
our development stage activities.
Prior to the spin-off on December 1, 2006, our business was operated within Sentigen as
part of its broader corporate organization rather than as a stand-alone company. Historically,
Sentigen performed certain corporate functions for us. Our historical financial statements included
herein do not reflect the expense of certain corporate functions we would have needed to perform if
we were not a wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the spin-off, Sentigen no longer provided
assistance to us and we are responsible for the additional costs associated with being an
independent public company, including costs related to corporate governance, quoted securities and
investor relations issues. Therefore, you should not make any assumptions regarding our future
performance based on our financial statements.
Our financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities. Funding during the first quarter of 2008
was received through $28,970 in loans made to us by Mr. Pagano, our Chief Executive Officer. On
May 9, 2008 and June 20, 2008, we closed on a $750,000 financing and a $145,980 financing,
respectively, with certain of our largest stockholders, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman and another member of our board of directors. On July 9, 2008, two investors who
participated in the May 9, 2008 and June 20, 2008 financings exercised their overallotment options
for an aggregate amount of $54,020. In addition, certain of our indebtedness was cancelled in
connection with the financings. See
-Liquidity and Capital Resources
below for a discussion of
our financings and loans
.
We believe that our limited financial resources, inclusive of the
foregoing amounts, are sufficient to fund operations and capital requirements for the next twelve
months. We may, however, need substantial amounts of additional financing to commercialize the
research programs undertaken by us, which financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at
all.
Product Research and Development
We intend to continually review the commercial validity of the olfaction technology, in
order to make the appropriate decisions as to the best way to allocate our limited resources. We
currently do not have any research and development grant applications outstanding nor can we
predict whether we will receive any research and development funding during the next twelve (12)
months. We are unable at this time to predict a level of spending, if any, for product research and
development activities during the next twelve (12) months, all of which will be dependent upon the
implementation of our business plan. Our executive officer and board of directors have and intend
to continue to seek opportunities with non-profit agencies and with potential commercial partners
to leverage our olfaction intellectual property for the development of control agents for biting
insects, in particular, insect vectors of malaria and other diseases.

Operating and Other Expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2008, general and administrative costs were $181,651
and primarily included professional audit fees and legal fees and travel and lodging expenses. For
the three-months ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative costs were $60,002. The
comparative increase of $121,649 during the second quarter of 2008 is primarily due to our
increased operating activities with respect to our patents, commercialization efforts for our
olfaction intellectual property and financing activities. For the six-months ended June 30, 2008,
general and administrative costs were $330,571 and primarily included professional audit fees and
legal fees and travel and lodging expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, general and
administrative costs were $96,150. The comparative increase of $234,421 during the second quarter
of 2008 is primarily due to our increased operating activities with respect to our patents,
commercialization efforts for our olfaction intellectual property and financing activities.
Amortization expense
includes the amortization of our license and patent costs. For the three-months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense was $12,708 and $8,182, respectively. For the
six-months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense was $23,882 and $16,365,
respectively. The remaining licensing costs are being amortized on a straight line basis through
April 2010.
Interest expense reflects the cost of our promissory notes issued on June 21, 2007, which
were cancelled during the second quarter of 2008. As of the three-months ended June 30, 2008 and
June 30, 2007, accrued interest on the promissory notes amounted to $2,383, and $555, respectively.
As of the six-months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, interest on the notes amounted to
$6,519, and $555, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred operating losses since inception. As of June 30, 2008, we had $517,780 in
cash and cash equivalents, compared to $42,500 at December 31, 2007. Our working capital at June
30, 2008 was $281,335, compared to working capital deficit of $79,542 at December 31, 2007, an increase
of $360,877 or 454%, mainly attributable to the issuance of common stock in connection with the financing discussed below.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2008 was $192,969, compared to
$134,847 for the six-months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $81,122 or 43%, mainly attributable
to a increase in cash available.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Mr. Pagano, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of our Board of Directors, made loans to us in the aggregate amount of $106,914. On May
9, 2008, this amount was applied to Mr. Paganos subscription in the financing discussed below.
During the second quarter of 2008, as previously disclosed, we closed on a financing in
two tranches for an aggregate amount of $950,000. On May 9, 2008, we closed on the first tranche
of the financing, for an aggregate amount of $750,000, which consisted of cash in the amount of
$563,986 and the conversion of $186,014 of indebtedness. Participants in the first tranche of the
financing subscribed for an aggregate of 3,947,368 shares of common stock, based on the closing
price of $0.19 per share of our common stock on the closing date. On June 20, 2008, we closed on
the second tranche of the financing, for an aggregate amount of 200,000 of which $145,980 was
subscribed for, consisting of cash in the amount of $62,240 and the conversion of $83,740 of
indebtedness. Participants in the second tranche of the financing subscribed for an aggregate of
768,315 shares of common stock, based on the closing price of $0.19 per share of our common stock on the closing date. On July 9, 2008, two participants in the financing elected to
exercise their over-allotment options, which consisted of cash in the amount of $54,020. The
participants who exercised their over-allotment options subscribed for an aggregate of 337,624
shares of common stock, based on the closing price of $0.16 per share of our common stock on the
closing date.
Prior to the issuance of any shares of common stock pursuant to the financing, we were
required to receive the approval of the our stockholders to amend our Certificate of Incorporation
to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to permit the financing shares to be
issued (Stockholder Approval). We received Stockholder Approval at our annual meeting of
stockholders on June 24, 2008.
Participants in the financings consisted of eleven of our largest stockholders (each
holding 50,000 or more shares of our common stock), including, Mr. Pagano, our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Adler, a director, and certain holders of 5% or more of our common stock.
All eleven stockholders participated in the first tranche of the financing, six stockholders (including Mr. Adler)
participated in the second tranche of the financing and two stockholders elected to exercise their
over-allotment options.
We expect that the funds raised in the financing will be used for general working capital
purposes, including the funding of research and development efforts and the pursuit of a joint
venture or other form of collaboration with another entity or entities. Our ability to obtain
financing and realize revenue depends upon the status of future business prospects, as well as
conditions prevailing in the capital markets. It is possible that any such
additional financing may be dilutive to current stockholders and the terms of any debt financings
could contain restrictive covenants limiting our
16
ability to do certain things, including paying dividends.
On June 21, 2007, we issued a demand promissory note in favor of each of Mr. Frederick R.
Adler, Mr. Joseph K. Pagano, D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp. and Mr. Samuel A. Rozzi (together,
the Lenders), evidencing loans extended to us in the principal amount of $50,000, $50,000,
$50,000 and $30,000, respectively, by the Lenders, for an aggregate amount of $180,000. The
promissory notes accrued interest at Citibank N.A.s reported prime rate plus 3%, which was due and
payable at the time the principal amount of each respective promissory note becomes due. The
promissory notes had a maturity date of June 22, 2009. Each Lender could demand the payment of all
of the outstanding principal and interest of his or its respective promissory note at any time
prior to the maturity date. At the time of the loan transaction, each of the Lenders was the
beneficial owner of a significant number of shares of our common stock. In addition, Mr. Pagano is
our Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of our Board of Directors, and Mr. Adler is a member
of our Board of Directors. On May 9, 2008, in connection with the first tranche of the financing
discussed above, (i) $24,675 of the outstanding amount of Mr. Paganos promissory note was applied
to the subscriptions made by Mr. Pagano and a trust for the benefit of his son; and (ii) $54,425,
the entire outstanding amount of D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp.s promissory note, including
principal and accrued interest, was applied to the subscriptions made by each of three affiliates
of D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp. On May 16, 2008, Mr. Pagano made a demand for repayment of
the remaining outstanding principal and interest ($29,750) of his promissory note. On June 20,
2008, in connection with the second tranche of the financing discussed above (i) $30,000 of the
outstanding principal amount of Mr. Rozzis promissory note was applied to the subscription made by
Mr. Rozzi and he received a payment for $2,961 in accrued interest on July 10, 2008 and (ii)
$53,740 of the outstanding amount of principal and accrued interest of Mr. Adlers promissory note
was applied to the subscription made by Mr. Adler and he received a payment for the remaining
$1,195 in accrued interest. All of the promissory notes have been cancelled and there
are no amounts outstanding to date.
As discussed above, we believe that our financial resources presently are sufficient to
fund operations and capital requirements for the next twelve months. We may need additional amounts
of financing in order to more to fully realize the possible research programs to be undertaken by
us, which financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2008, we did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in
Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Inflation
At
June 30, 2008, we had $0 floating rate debt outstanding. There was no significant impact on our
operations as a result of inflation during the three-month period ended June 30, 2008.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). The purpose of SFAS 157 is to provide users of financial
statements with better information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure
recognized assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements, and the effect of
certain of the measurements on earnings for the period. SFAS 157 also provides guidance on the
definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 changes the definition of fair value to be the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, as opposed to
the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability, an entry
price. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods with those fiscal years (e.g. January 1, 2008, for calendar
year-end entities). We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our
financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value which are not currently required to be
measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods for those fiscal years. We do not expect the
adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of
operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combination (SFAS 141R),
which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and
any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and
measuring goodwill acquired in a business combination and determines what information to disclose
to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS 141R 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. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material impact on
our financial condition or results of operations.
17
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated
Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160) which establishes 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. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a
material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 gives
financial statement users better information about the reporting entitys hedges by providing for
qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative
data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of
credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods
within those years. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on our
financial condition or results of operations.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective
accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financials
statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2008, Mr. Joseph K. Pagano,
who is our Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer
(and principal financial officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e)of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (Disclosure Controls). Based upon this evaluation, Mr. Pagano
concluded that the Disclosure Controls were effective, as of the date of their evaluation, in
reaching a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that
we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules
and forms and that any information relating to us that is required to be disclosed in the
reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive/financial officer,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2008, there were no changes in
our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Internal Control), that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our Internal Control.
PART II- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Effective as of July 9, 2008, we issued 337,624 shares of our common stock, based on the closing
price of $0.16 per share of our common stock on the closing date, to two stockholders who elected
to exercise their over-allotment options in connection with the financing that closed on June 20,
2008 and is discussed under Item 2 of Part I herein. The over-allotment exercise consisted of cash
in the aggregate amount of $54,020. Exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, was
claimed based upon Section 4(2) as a sale by an issuer not involving a public offering.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
