Item 1. Description of Business
(a) Business Development, Organization and Acquisition Activities
CDEX-Inc., a developmental stage company, was organized by filing Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on July 6, 2001. These Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of Common Stock at par value of $.001 per share.
The Company develops technologies. The Company's current focus is chemical detection for the defense, security and micro-electronic processing industries. To acquire the chemical detection technology required for the Company's operations, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (said purchase agreement, as modified by the Amendment Agreement [as defined in fn (1) below], the "Purchase Agreement") effective as of August 4, 2001 by and between the Company, as the purchasing party, and Loch Harris, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("LOCH") and Chem Tech, Inc., a subsidiary of LOCH, jointly and severally as the selling party, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company acquired the chemical detection and nanometrology assets of the selling party, including all of the rights and assets of every kind, nature and description related thereto including research and development, technical processes and intellectual property rights (all of the foregoing, collectively, the "Purchased Assets"), in exchange for 68,325,000 shares of the Company's common stock (1). As noted in fn (1) below, 8,325,000 of the shares of Company stock delivered by the Company under the Purchase Agreement, termed the "Obligation Stock" thereunder, were delivered not to LOCH but rather, at the direction of LOCH, to certain persons and entities in discharge of certain loans and other obligations of the sellers to such persons and entities related to the Purchased Assets and as compensation for said persons and entities releasing any and all claim of rights to the Purchased Assets. Distributees of the Obligation Stock included Mark E. Baker ("Baker"), who received 2,500,000 shares of the Obligation Stock, and Coto, LLC as designee of Rodney A. Boone ("Boone"), who received 1,600,000 shares of the Obligation Stock. Baker and Boone, each then a director of LOCH, are at times collectively referred to herein as the "LOCH Directors". (2)
All shares issued under the Purchase Agreement were issued as "restricted shares". The Purchase Agreement requires that the Shareholder Shares be distributed to Loch shareholders as soon as possible. Such distribution will result in the Company's common stock being held by 500 or more persons and therefore requires that the Company register its equity securities with the Commission. (See "Asset Purchase Agreement"—Exhibit 10(a)(1)).
3
Agreement for the Purchased Assets was 68,325,000 shares of Company Common Stock, consisting of 48,000,000 "Shareholder Shares", 12,000,000 "Loch's Shares" and 8,325,000 shares of "Obligation Stock".
The Company is not currently involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, and has no knowledge of any threat of any such proceeding.
b. Business of Issuer.
(1) Principal Products and Principal Markets.
The Company is a technology company with its current focus on developing and marketing chemical detection technology products and services with emphasis on the detection of explosives in a real world environment (landmines, unexploded ordnance, building security, etc.) and illegal or contraband substances such as illicit drugs. The Company anticipates acquiring other technologies through partnering and investment in the future; however, until such time as Company acquires other technology assets, Company anticipates that almost all of its revenues will come from its chemical detection products.
The Company's chemical detection products and technologies will be targeted to both U.S. and foreign governments in addition to private industry or individuals requiring positive confirmation or the absence of these and other materials.
The chemical and explosives detection marketplace is small but potentially lucrative. While the Company is a development stage company, the Company believes that the explosives detection devices developed by Company will be unique in this market. Company anticipates focusing sales and marketing efforts on specific markets in an integrated strategy to build brand and name awareness of the Company and its products. Focus will be in both government and private sector marketplaces, both foreign and domestic.
(2) Status of Products and Services.
The Company's chemical detection segment has produced no revenue to date.
The Company's resources currently are focused on developing chemical detection technologies that can be used real time (within seconds) to identify substances of concern from close range and substantial distances. The Company's initial areas of commercial interests are explosive detection (e.g., building/airport security and mine detection), detection of chemical/biological agents, drug detection, and detection of contaminants in plasma chambers in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Laboratory testing demonstrates that this technology is capable of identifying and discriminating between explosives in a wide range of environments (e.g., buried and in luggage). There are no known design obstacles to be overcome before the Company is ready to commercialize its initial suite of products. Company anticipates many commercial applications within these areas of focus. Beyond these initial areas, this technology holds a number of other potential applications that the Company is in various stages of pursuing.
4
The Company's activities to date have been limited primarily to organization, initial capitalization, finding and securing an experienced management team and Board of Directors, the development of organizational documents and commencing initial operational plans for research and development to achieve proof of technology and proof of application data. The underlying technology has been used, in testing with development components and protocols, to prove efficacy of application for several products ("proof of application" stage). Development of prototypes and continued engineering is ongoing. All development has primarily utilized common, off the shelf components.
(3) Competitive Business Conditions.
The Company believes that its chemical detection products will compete with existing chemical detection tools, but, depending on the application, may have the competitive advantage of being more advanced than existing tools in the following areas:
(4) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials; Suppliers; Manufacturers.
The Company will not be able to determine precise final product prices to the end user until final vendor agreements are in place. The Company does not have any established large volume relationships with suppliers to acquire materials for production of its yet-to-be manufactured products. However, the Company has established relationships with vendors during the research and development period. Company anticipates these relationships will be expanded to address higher volume of units purchased. The Company has received quotes from suppliers for some components for its products; until additional funding is received, Company will not be able to sign any agreements with these suppliers. Company is not restricted in selecting a source for components.
The Company intends to explore the outsourcing of the manufacturing of product components; however, in the Company's early stage final assembly and testing will be performed directly by the Company at its current offices.
(5) Marketing.
The Company currently uses widespread low cost media technology, namely the Internet, as a means of communicating to individuals and potential partners. The Company has been, and is currently, attempting to reach potential customers and partners through its website and word of mouth. In the future, the Company also intends to reach prospective customers via strategic relationships and traditional advertising. Planned advertising activities include trade and industry magazines in markets of focus, free media exposure via talk shows and print. The Company believes that recent Company development efforts will make its ability to communicate with potential customers and partners much easier in the future. For instance, the Company has completed development of its website at www.CDEX-Inc.com, although additional funds will need to be invested in this site. There are not expected to be any security authorization concerns with this website.
The Company anticipates focusing on domestic markets before expanding internationally via strategic marketing and manufacturing partnerships. The Company anticipates that these partnerships will be based either on geographic boundaries or by products. The Company has received unsolicited contacts by perspective partners from the Middle East, Europe, Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia and China based on information on www.cdex-inc.com. These contacts were primarily interested in explosive
5
and drug detection, and its potential use in the electronic manufacturing industry. There can be no assurance that these contacts will result in revenue or relationships beneficial to the Company. The Company has not applied for licenses or permits to do business in any foreign country, nor for any certification of its products.
(6) Dependence on Major Customers.
As of March 31, 2002, no sales have been generated by the Company. However, the Company does not anticipate that its future revenues will be dependent on any one or a few major customers.
(7) Patents and Licenses.
The Company believes its products are partially protected by provisional patent. The Company has not had the available funds to file a final patent application; it is the intent of the Company to do so in the future (see Part 1, Item 2B(iii): Risk Factors—No Assurance of Protection of Proprietary Rights). The Company does not anticipate the need to obtain license agreements before being able to market its products.
(8) Compliance with Applicable Law; Government Regulation.
The Company anticipates being subject to various federal, state and foreign laws and regulations pertaining to the use of potentially dangerous materials, to the discharge of materials into the environment and/or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment which may require the Company to allocate a portion of its operating budget for use in ensuring its full compliance with such regulations. The Company anticipates being able to comply in all material respects with laws and regulations governing the fire safety industry, and that such laws will not have a material effect on its operations. However, various federal and state agencies may propose new legislation that may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company is not currently aware of any other federal, state or local environmental laws that would have significant adverse impact on its operations.
The Company presently is a non-reporting company under the Securities Act of 1933 and as such has not filed any previous reports with the Commission.
(9) Research and Development Activities.
During its first fiscal year which ended March 31, 2002, the Company incurred approximately $786,000 in research and development costs (including $320,000 in purchased research and development), although the Company believes that the long-term success of its business may require more substantial research and development. The Company will seek to further develop its products internally through research and development or strategic partnerships, but if the Company can purchase or license products, services or technologies from third-parties at reasonable costs, it will do so in order to avoid the time and expense involved in developing such products, services or technologies.
(10) Employees.
The Company has a full-time staff of seven who are a combination of employees and consultants, plus three part-time consultants. The Company's employees and consultants appreciate the start-up nature of the Company and have contractually agreed to accept stock and minimal cash compensation for their services (see part 1, Item 6). Company employees currently are not represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company believes that its relations with its employees and consultants are good. Management anticipates changes in the status of some consultants to becoming employees
6
over the next twelve months, and an increase in the number of Company employees over the next twelve months to approximately twenty total employees.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
A. Management's Plan of Operation.
The Company has adopted a March 31 fiscal year-end. In its initial fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, consisting of an approximately nine month operating period, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,500,000 and a negative cash flow from operations of $331,000 (See Part FS). The majority of these costs were establishing operations. The Company, a developmental stage company, has yet to generate any revenues from operations.
However, during the Company's initial 9-month fiscal period from July 6, 2001 through March 31, 2002 the Company achieved three main goals: (a) the formation of the Company as a Nevada corporation to pursue the Company's business objectives; (b) the purchase of the Purchased Assets to give the Company the technology required to pursue its business objectives; and (c) the obtaining of sufficient capital to commence initial operations. The Company has devoted substantially all of its present efforts to developing its products to the point of partnering for marketing and manufacturing, and completing its reporting requirements with the Securities Act of 1934.
Realization of development contracts or sales of the Company's products for the 18 months ending December 31, 2002 is vital to the Company's plan of operations. The Company believes that its initial revenues will be primarily dependent upon its ability to identify strategic partners with whom to work cost-effectively and efficiently in developing and marketing products. The Company designates its priorities for the next twelve months of operations as: (a) implementing and successfully executing its business and marketing strategy, including developing and marketing its products to establish its businesses of building security and explosive detection (this is presently progressing slowly pending the receipt of further financing for the Company; costs are estimated to be approximately $1,500,000); (b) developing relationships with strategic partners; (c) responding to developments and requirements in building security (the Company has already accomplished this by designing its products to offer features not found in competing models); and (d) attracting, retaining and motivating qualified personnel (this must await further funding for the Company).
Management of the Company believes the need for additional capital will be satisfied somewhat from earnings generated from the sale of its products and through United States Government development contracts. Also, it is the intent of the Company to seek to raise additional capital via private placement offerings. In summary, to achieve the Company's projection and goal of realizing sales of the Company's products on or before December 31, 2002, the Company must complete the following steps in a timely manner:
7
The Company anticipates that in its early stage manufacturing will initially be accomplished in the Company's facility of approximately 1,800 square feet in Tucson, Arizona (see Part 1, Item 3, "Description of Property"). While such Company facility, which will also accommodate general administration, research and development and engineering, is presently sufficient for the Company's operations, the Company will commence negotiations for a larger facility when appropriate.
B. Risk Factors Connected with the Company's Plan of Operation.
The Company's ability to distribute, and generate awareness of, the Company's products must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new markets, such as those discussed below. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in establishing operations, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Specific risk factors to be considered include the following:
The Company has had limited prior operations to date. Since the Company's principal activities to date have been limited to organizational activities, research and development, and limited product development, the Company has no record of any revenue-producing operations. Consequently, there is only a limited operating history upon which to base an assumption that the Company will be able to achieve its business plans. In addition, the Company has only limited assets. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will generate revenues in the future; and there can be no assurance that the Company will operate at a profitable level. If the Company is unable to obtain customers and generate sufficient revenues so that it can profitably operate, the Company's business will not succeed. Accordingly, the Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business in a highly competitive industry, characterized by new product introductions.
As previously noted, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,500,000 for the 9 month period from July 6, 2001 to March 31, 2002. As of March 31, 2002, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets (working capital deficit) by $945,405 (See Part FS). This raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to operate as a going concern.
Since its inception, the Company has financed operations primarily through proceeds from certain borrowings and private stock issues (see Exhibits 10 (f), (g), (h), (n), (o), (p)).
Current funds available to the Company will not be adequate for it to be competitive in the areas in which it intends to operate. The Company's continued operations, as well as the implementation of its business plan, therefore will depend upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings, equity or debt financing. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise approximately $3,850,000 over the twelve month period March 31, 2002—March 31, 2003 for such purposes, with $2,350,000 required for research and development of the technology, and $1,500,000 required for execution of the business plan. However, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms to the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Company's business plan. Regardless of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company's operational needs, the Company may elect to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash.
8
Certain members of the management of the Company plan to advance funds to the Company on an as-needed basis although there is no definitive or legally binding arrangement to do so. The Company currently has no arrangements or commitments for accounts and accounts receivable financing. The Company believes that its initial revenues will be primarily dependent upon the Company's ability to develop and distribute its products in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Company may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a negative impact on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, if additional shares of Company stock are issued to obtain financing, current shareholders may suffer a dilutive effect on their percentage of stock ownership in the Company.
The Company's success and ability to compete will be dependent in part on the protection of its potential patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks and other proprietary rights. The Company intends to rely on trade secret and copyright laws to protect the intellectual property that it plans to develop, but there can be no assurance that such laws will provide sufficient protection to the Company, that others will not develop a service that is similar or superior to the Company's, or that third parties will not copy or otherwise obtain and use the Company's proprietary information without authorization. In addition, certain of the Company's know-how and proprietary technology may not be patentable. Policing unauthorized use of the Company's proprietary and other intellectual property rights could entail significant expense and could be difficult or impossible. In addition, there can be no assurance that third parties will not bring claims of copyright or trademark infringement against the Company or claim that certain of the Company's processes or features violate a patent. There can be no assurance that third parties will not claim that the Company has misappropriated their creative ideas or formats or otherwise infringed upon their proprietary rights. Any claims of infringement, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management attention, and/or require the Company to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements to prevent further infringement, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or operating results.
The Company may rely on certain intellectual property licensed from third parties, and may be required to license additional products or services in the future, for use in the general operations of its business plan. The Company currently has no licenses for the use of any specific products for specific products of the Company. There can be no assurance that these third party licenses will be available or will continue to be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. An inability of the Company to enter into and maintain any of these licenses could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or operating results.
9
The Company itself has no experience in manufacturing commercial quantities of products, and the Company's management has had limited experience in this area. The Company presently has no plans for developing an in-house manufacturing capability, only a facility to aggregate off the shelf components to a final assembly. Accordingly, the Company may be dependent upon securing a contract manufacturer or other third party to manufacture certain components (in Company's early stages the final assembly and testing will be done in-house). There can be no assurance that the terms of any such arrangement would be favorable enough to permit the Company's products to compete effectively in the marketplace.
The risks of association with outsourced manufacturers are related to aspects of these firms' operations, finances and suppliers. The Company may suffer losses if any outside manufacturer fails to perform its obligations to manufacture and ship the product manufactured. These manufacturers' financial affairs may also affect the Company's ability to obtain product from these firms in a timely fashion should they fail to continue to obtain sufficient financing during a period of incremental growth. However, the Company intends to maintain a strong relationship with its manufacturers to ensure that any issues they may face are dealt with in a timely manner.
There can be no assurance that any products successfully developed by the Company or its corporate collaborators, if approved for marketing, will ever achieve market acceptance. The Company's products, if successfully developed, may compete with a number of traditional products manufactured and marketed by major technology companies, as well as new products currently under development by such companies and others. The degree of market acceptance of any product developed by the Company or its corporate collaborators will depend on a number of factors, including the establishment and demonstration of the efficacy of the product candidates, their potential advantage over alternative methods and reimbursement policies of government and third party payors. There can be no assurance that the marketplace in general will accept and utilize any products that may be developed by the Company or its corporate collaborators.
The Company may experience substantial competition in its efforts to locate and attract customers for its products. Many competitors in the industry have greater experience, resources, and managerial capabilities than the Company and may be in a better position than the Company to obtain access to attract customers. There are a number of larger companies that will directly compete with the Company. Such competition could have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability or viability.
The chemical detection industry in general is a speculative industry involving some substantial risk. There is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by the Company will result in a commercially profitable business. The marketability of its products will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include market fluctuations, and the general state of the economy (including the rate of inflation, and local economic conditions), which can effect consumer spending. Factors that leave less money in the hands of potential customers will likely have an adverse effect on the Company. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company's inability to receive an adequate return on invested capital.
10
Presently the Company's officers and directors beneficially control approximately 88.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. This 88.5% of shares controlled by the Company's officers and directors includes the 60,000,000 shares directly paid to LOCH under the Purchase Agreement and the 4,100,000 shares distributed to LOCH Directors under the Purchase Agreement (See discussion under Part 1, Item 1.(a)), and the aggregate 1,250,000 shares issued to the LOCH Directors under the LOCH Director Service Agreements (See discussion under Part 1, Item 1.(a), fn(2)), whose proxies are controlled by the Company's Board of Directors until such time as those shares are sold or transferred to persons not affiliated with LOCH (See Part 1, Item 4A, fn(1)). As a result, such Company officers and directors, acting together, have the ability to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval. Accordingly, it could be difficult for third- party investors to effectuate control over the affairs of the Company. Therefore, it should be assumed that the officers, directors, and principal common shareholders who control these voting rights will be able, by virtue of their stock holdings, to control the affairs and policies of the Company.
The Company's success is dependent upon its hiring and retention of key personnel. Officers and directors have long-term employment agreements with the Company, while independent contractors have a minimum commitment. Therefore, there can be no assurance that these personnel will remain employed by, or continue to provide consulting services to, the Company. Should any of these individuals cease to be affiliated with the Company for any reason before qualified replacements could be found, there could be material adverse effects on the Company's business and prospects.
In addition, all decisions with respect to the management of the Company will be made exclusively by the officers and directors of the Company. Investors will only have rights associated with stockholders to make decisions which affect the Company. The success of the Company, to a large extent, will depend on the quality of the directors and officers of the Company. Accordingly, no person should invest in the Company's stock unless he is willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the Company to its officers and directors.
The directors and other executive officers of the Company have other interests to which they devote time, either individually or through partnerships and corporations in which they have an interest, hold an office, or serve on boards of directors, and each will continue to do so notwithstanding the fact that management time may be necessary to the business of the Company. As a result, certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its officers and/or directors that may not be susceptible to resolution.
In addition, conflicts of interest may arise in the area of corporate opportunities that cannot be resolved through arm's length negotiations. All of the potential conflicts of interest will be resolved only through exercise by the Company's officers and/or directors of such judgment as is consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company. It is the intention of management, so as to minimize any potential conflicts of interest, to present first to the Board of Directors of the Company, any proposed investments for its evaluation.
The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future and intends to retain any future earnings to finance the growth of the
11
Company's business. Payment of dividends, if any, will depend on, among other factors, the earnings, capital requirements and general operating and financial conditions of the Company as well as any legal limitations on the payment of dividends out of paid-in capital.
The Company may elect to apply for listing on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board after this Form 10-SB registration statement becomes effective. If this request is not granted, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the Company's securities. In addition, the Company's common stock may be subject to the low-priced security or so called "penny stock" rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 ("Reform Act") requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a "penny stock" (generally defined as, according to recent regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions), including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. The regulations governing low-priced or penny stocks sometimes limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's common stock and thus, ultimately, the ability of the investors to sell their securities in the secondary market.
If the Company is unable to maintain National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. member broker/dealers as market makers, the liquidity of its common stock could be impaired, not only in the number of shares of common stock which could be bought and sold, but also through possible delays in the timing of transactions, and lower prices for its common stock than might otherwise prevail. Furthermore, the lack of market makers could result in Company shareholders being unable to buy or sell shares of its common stock on any secondary market. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to maintain such market makers.
All of the shares of Company common stock currently held, directly or indirectly, by Company shareholders have been issued in reliance on a registration exemption under the Securities Act of 1933. Such shares will not be available for sale in the open market without registration except in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. In general, under Rule 144 a person, or persons whose shares are aggregated, who has beneficially owned shares acquired in a non-public transaction for at least one year, including persons who may be deemed affiliates of Company, as defined, would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, or the average weekly reported trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale, provided that current public information is then available. If a substantial number of the shares owned by these shareholders were sold under Rule 144 or, following registration pursuant to this Form 10-SB, the market price of the Company's common stock could be adversely affected.
Although widely experienced in other industries, Company's current senior management team has no experience leading the development, marketing and sales of technology products in the chemical detection marketplace.

(c) The initial acquisition of the Company's technology was consummated on August 4, 2001, when the Company closed under the Purchase Agreement with LOCH for an additional net 47,000,000 shares of Company's common stock, for a net total of 60,000,000 shares of common stock to LOCH, and an additional 8,325,000 shares of "Obligation Stock" to other persons and entities on behalf of LOCH (including an aggregate 4,100,000 shares to the LOCH Directors—See Part I, Item 1(a)), in exchange for the technology listed in Exhibit 10(a) (See Part I, Item 1(a), including fn(1)).
(d) On August 3, 2001 and October 1, 2001 the Company agreed to issue 175,000 shares, respectively, of its common stock to George Dials and Dr. BD Liaw for Services on the Board of Directors (see Exhibits 10(i) and (j)).
(e) In addition to the aggregate 4,100,000 shares of the "Obligation Stock" received by the LOCH Directors under the Purchase Agreement, on August 3, 2001 the Company agreed to issue stock in the Company to COTO LLC, designee of Boone, in the amount of 750,000 shares, and to Baker in the amount of 500,000 shares, to compensate Boone and Baker for transition consulting services to be
18
rendered under the LOCH Director Service Agreements (See discussion in Part I, Item 1(a), fn(2), and Exhibits 10(k) and (l)).
(f) On each of October 5, 2001 and November 14, 2001 the Company borrowed $20,000 from Kitty C. Philips (see Exhibit 10(f)). The notes are unsecured, due when Company has funds to pay, and each is payable in one payment including principal and interest at maturity, bearing an interest rate of 9%. The holder has the option to convert any unpaid balances, including accrued interest, into shares of the Company's common stock. As of March 31, 2002, the conversion price of one $20,000 note is fixed at $.30/share and the conversion price of the second note remains floating but is capped at $.50/share.
(g) Malcolm Philips, CEO and Timothy Shriver, Sr. Vice President of Operations, are both Members of DynamicResolutions, a Delaware limited liability company ("DR") and the sole member of Dynamic Management Resolutions a Delaware limited liability company ("DMR"). Also members of DR are 4 consultants who provided services to the Company under the Consulting Services Agreement dated July 24, 2001 (see Exhibit 10(c)).
(h) As discussed in Part I, Item 6 (ii), fn (1), on January 1, 2002, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Mergenthaler pursuant to which the parties agreed that, from and after January 1, 2002, Mr. Mergenthaler would perform, in the capacity as an employee of the Company, the same services, and on substantially the same terms and conditions, including compensation, as were then being provided by Mr. Mergenthaler as a consultant of the Company. No additional Company stock was issued to Mr. Mergenthaler by reason of such agreement.
For each of the transactions noted above, the transaction was negotiated, on the part of the Company, on the basis of what is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In addition, in each case in which the interested affiliate had the right to vote on the transaction as a member of Company management, said affiliate did vote in favor of the transaction; however, the Company's Board of Directors did make the determination that the terms in each case were as favorable as could have been obtained from non-affiliated parties.
Mr. Philips currently devotes 100% of his time to the Company's affairs. However, the other directors of the Company, Mr. Dials and Dr. Liaw, are engaged in other businesses. As a result, certain potential conflicts of interest, such as those set forth above with the transactions, may arise between the Company and these directors. The Company will attempt to resolve such conflicts of interest in favor of the Company by carefully reviewing each proposed transaction to determine its fairness to the Company and its shareholders and whether the proposed terms of the transaction are at least as favorable as those which could be obtained from independent sources. The officers and directors of the Company are accountable to it and its shareholders as fiduciaries, which requires that such officers and directors exercise good faith and integrity in handling the Company's affairs. A shareholder may be able to institute legal action on behalf of the Company or on behalf of itself and other similarly situated shareholders to recover damages or for other relief in cases of the resolution of conflicts is in any manner prejudicial to the Company.

Listed below are (A) the requirements set forth under Regulation D, Rule 504 for exemption, and (B) the facts which support the availability of the Rule 504 registration exemption to the sales of stock made by the Company described in clauses (a)-(h) above:
A. Requirements for exemption under Regulation D, Rule 504:
1. Identity of Issuer. The issuer of the securities must be an issuer that is not:
a. subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act or 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); or
b. an investment company; or
c. a development stage company that either has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person.

b. Aggregate Offering Price. During any 12-month period the aggregate offering price for the offers and sales claiming exemption under Rule 504 may not exceed $1,000,000 (as such $1,000,000 cap is reduced by the aggregate price for all securities of the issuer sold during such period in reliance on any exemption based on Section 3(b), or in violation of Section 5(a), of the Securities Act.
B. Facts Supporting the Availability of the Exemption to the Company.
1. Identity of Issuer. At the time of each offer and sale of Company stock described in clauses (a)-(h) above, the Company was not subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Further, the Company is not now, nor at the time of any such offer or sale of Company stock has the Company been, considered to be an investment company. Finally, since its inception, the Company has pursued a specific business plan of acquiring the Business and developing its products as outlined in Part I, Item 2., and such plan did not include a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person.
2. Conditions to be Met.
a. General Conditions. The following facts demonstrate that the Company complied with the general conditions for registration exemption of its securities under Rule 504:
Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf sold the securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising;
The Company exercised reasonable care to assure that no purchaser of a security was an "underwriter" within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act through reasonable inquiry of each purchaser to determine for whose benefit the securities were being acquired, advising purchasers in writing that said securities had not been registered under the Securities Act, and advising purchasers of the limitations of resale of said securities by reason thereof, and placed a restrictive legend on the sold securities; and
The Company gave each purchaser the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which the Company possessed or could acquire without unreasonable effort or expense.
24
b. Aggregate Offering Price. The aggregate offering price of all of the securities offered for sale and sold by the Company described in clauses (a)-(h) above, as determined in accordance with Rule 501(c), is approximately $535,540, determined as follows:

(a) In the period from November 2001 until February 2002, Company issued three Promissory Notes to Robert Stewart in an aggregate original principal amount of $281,000, which notes were convertible into an aggregate 673,334 shares of common stock of the Company.

Under the Motta Investment Stock Purchase Agreement, Motta Investment has the right to purchase an additional 250,000 shares at the same price and otherwise on the same conditions as the originally purchased 250,000 shares (see Exhibit 10(p)).
No commissions or fees were paid in connection with any of these sales.
All of the above sales were undertaken pursuant to the limited offering exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided in Rule 506 under Regulation D, the safe-harbor for private offerings allowed without registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Listed below are (A) the requirements set forth under Regulation D, Rule 506 for exemption, and (B) the facts which support the availability of the Rule 506 registration exemption to the sales of stock made by the Company described in clauses (a)-(e) above:
A. Requirements for exemption under Regulation D, Rule 506:
1. Conditions to be Met.
a. General Conditions. Offers and Sales must satisfy the terms and conditions of Rule 501 (Definitions and Terms) and Rule 502(a) (Integration), (b) Information requirements, (c) (Limitation on Manner of Offering) and (d) (Limitations on Resale).
b. Specific Conditions.
(1) Limitation on number of purchasers. There may be no more than 35 purchasers of securities from the issuer in any offering (using the provisions of Rule 501(e) for the calculation of the number of purchasers and of Rule 502(a) for what may or may not constitute an offering).
(2) Nature of Purchasers. Each purchaser who is not an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501) must be a "sophisticated" investor as described in clause (b)(2)(ii) of Rule 506.
B. Facts Supporting the Availability of the Exemption to the Company.
1. General Conditions. The following facts demonstrate that the Company complied with the general conditions for registration exemption of its securities under Rule 506:
Each of the purchasers of the securities was an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 (see the representations made by each purchaser in Exhibits 10(g), (h), (n), (o) and (p)). In addition, each purchaser acknowledged that said purchaser had had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering, and to obtain any additional information or documents relative to the Company, its business and an investment, as said purchaser deemed necessary (see Exhibits 10(g), (h), (n), (o) and (p)).
Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf sold the securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
The Company exercised reasonable care to assure that no purchaser of a security was an "underwriter" within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act through reasonable inquiry of each purchaser to determine for whose benefit the securities were being acquired, advising purchasers in writing that said securities had not been registered under the Securities
26
Act, and advising purchasers of the limitations of resale of said securities by reason thereof, and placed a restrictive legend on the sold securities (see representations as to such matters made by each purchaser in Exhibits 10(g), (h), (n), (o) and (p)).
2. Specific Conditions. Each purchaser of securities was an accredited investor (see discussion above), thereby satisfying both the limitation on number of purchasers and nature of purchasers set forth as specific conditions under Rule 506.
Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company presently provide for indemnification of its directors, officers and employees. However, the Bylaws of the Company may be amended by the Board of Directors from time to time and therefore an indemnification provision could be added to the Company's Bylaws in the future. The Services Agreement of each of Dr. BD Liaw and W. Dials pursuant to which such person is serving as a Company director provides, in part, that "the Company will use its best efforts to obtain coverage for the Consultant under Directors and Officers liability insurance policy, provided that such insurance policy is economically feasible." As of the date hereof, no such insurance is in place.
However, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheet of CDEX-Inc. (a Development Stage Company) as of March 31, 2002, and the related Statements of Operations. Deficiency in Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows for the period July 6, 2001 (inception) to March 31, 2002. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 audit provides 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 CDEX-Inc. as of March 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 6, 2001 (inception) to March 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,547,000 during the period July 6, 2001 (inception) through March 31, 2002, and as of March 31, 2002, had a working capital deficiency of approximately $945,000 and a deficiency in stockholders' equity of approximately $757,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies
Organization: CDEX-Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 6, 2001. The Company is in the development stage and was organized to develop and market technology products with a current focus on the detection of explosives and other substances. The Company intends to market its products to both the U.S. and foreign Governments in addition to private industry and other individuals requiring positive confirmation of the existence or absence of substances of concern, either explosives or other materials.
Since inception, the Company's activities have revolved around developing and implementing its business plan. Those activities include securing a management team, raising capital, negotiating employment and subcontractor agreements, research and development activities associated with the chemical detection technology, and marketing activities.
On August 4, 2001, the Company acquired certain net assets of Loch Harris, Inc., (LOCH) and Chem Tech, Inc. (Chem Tech), a wholly owned subsidiary of LOCH, in exchange for 68,325,000 shares of Company's common stock. The acquired net assets consisted primarily of cash, in-process research and development, laboratory equipment, and certain liabilities. This acquisition has been accounted for as an asset purchase.
As of the acquisition date, LOCH had commenced initial testing of its technology with mixed results. Management believes that the research and development will yield a marketable product by September 30, 2002. Projected costs to complete the research and development are $2,350,000. Management is not aware of any risks or uncertainties associated with completing development within a reasonable period of time.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Company maintains cash balances which may exceed Federally insured limits. The Company does not believe that this results in any significant credit risk. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at the original cost to the Company. Assets are being depreciated using an accelerated method over lives of five to seven years.
Income taxes: The Company files its income tax returns on the cash basis of accounting, whereby revenue is recognized when received and expenses are deducted when paid. To the extent that items of income or expense are recognized in different periods for income tax and financial reporting purposes, deferred income taxes are provided to give effect to these temporary differences.
Research and development: The Company incurred research and development expenses of $786,564 during the period July 6, 2001 to March 31, 2002. Total research and development expenses includes $320,000 of in-process research and development expenses related to the LOCH transaction, and $466,564 payable to consultants in cash or stock (Note 4). These expenses are included on the Statement of Operations as development costs.
Financial instruments: The fair value of all financial instruments included in the financial statements is estimated by management to approximate their recorded carrying amounts.
F-7
Loss per share of common stock: Basic net loss per share of common stock has been computed on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted net loss per share is not presented because the effect of common stock equivalents, which consist of convertible notes payable (Note 2), would be antidilutive.
2. Convertible notes payable
At March 31, 2002, the Company was obligated under the following notes payable:
|
|
||
---|---|---|---|
Note payable in exchange for cash to the spouse of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (4% owner of the Company), unsecured, due on demand with simple interest at 9%. Holder has the option to convert the note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.30 per share. This option expires October 5, 2002. | $ | 20,000 | |
Note payable in exchange for cash to the spouse of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (4% owner of the Company), unsecured, due on demand with simple interest at 9%. Holder has the option to convert the note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of the lesser of $.50 per share or any lower rate given to any investor through May 14, 2002 ($.30 per share at March 31, 2002). This option expires November 14, 2002. | 20,000 | ||
Total | $ | 40,000 | |
At March 31, 2002 accrued interest of $3,130 was due to the note holder.
3. Income Taxes
The benefit for income taxes for the period ended March 31, 2002 reflected in the accompanying financial statements, all of which is deferred, varies from the amounts which would have been computed using statutory rates as follows:

6. Leases
The Company is obligated under a month-to-month lease, as lessee, for office space in Maryland. The lease provides for monthly rent of $175. Total rent expense for the period July 6, 2001 to March 31, 2002 was $1,050.
7. Financial condition
At March 31, 2002, the Company has a deficiency in working capital of approximately $945,000 and a deficiency in stockholders' equity of approximately $757,000. In addition, the Company has incurred losses since its inception of approximately $1,547,000 and has had no revenue since its inception. As explained in Note 1, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception, which has included product development, raising capital and putting in place a management team.
The Company plans to raise cash to fund its future operations and pay its outstanding obligations from the sale of its stock in an offering in the future. In addition, the Company feels it has a certain degree of flexibility as to how and when payment of accrued salaries and consulting fees will be made.
In managements opinion, its products are sufficiently developed to begin marketing them in the near future. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they come due is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient capital from a stock offering or obtaining short-term bridge financing until it can complete such an offering in addition to obtaining profitable contracts, Government grants or development contracts for its products. Finally, the Company must retain certain key personnel while it achieves these goals.
