NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc. (“Pharma-Bio”) is a Delaware corporation organized on January 14, 2004, under the name Lawrence Consulting Group, Inc. ("Lawrence"). Pharma-Bio is the parent company of Plaza Consulting Group, Inc. (“Plaza”), a Puerto Rico corporation, which operates in Puerto Rico under the name of Pharma Serv and is engaged in providing technical compliance consulting services primarily to the pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology industries. Pharma-Bio and Plaza are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

On January 25, 2006, Pharma-Bio acquired Plaza in a transaction which is accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Although Pharma-Bio, then known as Lawrence, is the corporation that made the acquisition, for accounting purposes, Plaza is treated as the acquiring company. As a result, the financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Plaza prior to January 25, 2006 and the combined operations of Pharma-Bio and Plaza from and after January 25, 2006.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited interim financial statements for the quarters January 31, 2006 and 2005 presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B pertaining to interim financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
 
SHARE DISTRIBUTION

On January 24, 2006, Pharma-Bio effected a two-for-one share distribution with respect to its common stock pursuant to which Pharma-Bio issued one share of common stock for each share outstanding on the record date, January 24, 2006. All share and per share information in these financial statements give retroactive effect to this share distribution.
 
REVERSE ACQUISITION
 
On January 25, 2006, pursuant to a plan and agreement of merger (the "Plaza Agreement") dated as of October 31, 2005, among Pharma-Bio, Plaza Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharma-Bio ("Acquisition Company"), Plaza and Elizabeth Plaza, the sole stockholder of Plaza, Pharma-Bio acquired Plaza. The acquisition was effected by the merger of Acquisition Company into Plaza. Pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, Ms. Plaza, as the sole stockholder of Plaza, received at the closing $10,000,000 plus 1,150,000 shares of Pharma-Bio's common stock. In addition, Ms. Plaza will receive three payments, each in the amount of $2,750,000, payable on January 25, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

January 31, 2006 (Unaudited)

At the closing, all of the present officers and directors of Pharma-Bio resigned from their respective positions, except that Mr. Dov Perlysky, who was president and a director of Pharma-Bio, resigned as an officer, but continued as a director. At the closing, Pharma-Bio elected four directors, including Ms. Plaza. The other three are independent directors.

Pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, at the closing, Pharma-Bio issued 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $.06 per share to San Juan Holdings, Inc., the investment banker for Plaza and Ms. Plaza. Pharma-Bio provided certain demand and piggyback registration rights to Ms. Plaza and San Juan Holdings covering the shares of common stock issued to them at the closing and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to San Juan Holdings.

As a condition to closing, Plaza was required to have a net tangible book value of not less than $5,500,000, of which at least $2,000,000 was in cash, as of November 30, 2005. Subject to the requirement that Plaza have at least $2,000,000 in cash as of November 30, 2005, the purchase price is to be adjusted upward or downward depending on the net tangible book value, determined as provided in the Plaza agreement. This provision will result in an additional payment to Ms. Plaza in the amount of up to $88,161, which will be paid during the third quarter of 2006.

The Plaza Agreement provides that Plaza, rather than Ms. Plaza, is responsible for the income tax from December 1, 2005 through the closing date, which was January 25, 2006. Because of the status of Plaza as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, Plaza's net income from December 1, 2005 to January 24, 2006 is taxed to Ms. Plaza. The income tax payable by Ms. Plaza for Plaza's taxable income for said period amounts to $125,227. Plaza will reimburse Ms. Plaza the $125,227 during the third quarter of 2006. The $88,161 payment described in the preceding paragraph and the $125,227 payment described in this paragraph are treated as additional payments on account of the purchase price of Plaza stock from Mrs. Plaza.

Pharma-Bio raised the funds necessary to make the $10,000,000 payment due to Ms. Plaza through the private placement of units consisting of shares of a series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 7,999,400 common stock. The series A preferred stock is automatically convertible into 15,998,800 shares of common stock upon an increase in Pharma-Bio's authorized common stock. See Note C.

The acquisition of Plaza and the private placement resulted in a change of control of Pharma-Bio. As a result of the reverse acquisition accounting treatment, Plaza is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition because former owners of Plaza, together with the purchasers in the private placement who purchased the series A preferred stock and warrants in connection with the acquisition of Plaza, gained control of Pharma-Bio,. Effective on the acquisition date, Pharma-Bio's balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities of Plaza and its equity accounts have been recapitalized to reflect the equity of Pharma-Bio. The financial statements of the Company for periods prior to January 25, 2006, reflect only the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Plaza.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments (excluding obligations under capital leases and amount due to affiliate): cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are considered reasonable estimates of fair value due to short period to maturity.

Management believes, based on current rates, that the fair value of its obligations under capital leases approximates the carrying amount.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in the month when services are rendered to customers. Revenue is primarily derived from time and materials contracts (representing approximately 90% of total revenues), where the clients are charged for the time, materials and expenses incurred on a particular project, and to a lesser extent, from fixed-fee contracts or from "not to exceed" contracts (approximately 10% of total revenues). In the case of fixed-fee contracts, which mostly are short-term contracts, revenue is recognized based on the percentage that the services rendered bears to the estimated services to be performed over the contract. If the Company determines that a fixed-fee or “not to exceed” contract will result in a loss, the Company recognizes the estimated loss in the period in which such determination is made.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated realizable value. Accounts are deemed past due when payment has not been received within the stated time period. The Company's policy is to review individual past due amounts periodically and write off amounts for which all collection efforts are deemed to have been exhausted. Bad debts are accounted for using the direct write-off method whereby an expense is recognized only when a specific account is determined to be uncollectible. The effect of using this method approximates that of the allowance method.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach method of accounting for income taxes. This method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

PHARMA-BIO SERV, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2006 (Unaudited)

Plaza, from its inception until January 25, 2006, was covered under the provisions of Subchapter N of Subtitle A of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code (the "Puerto Rico Code"), which is similar to Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code in that its taxable income is taxed to the stockholders and therefore there is no income tax liability for that period. As a result of the completion of the reverse acquisition, Plaza and Pharma-Bio are no longer eligible for treatment as a Subchapter N corporation. See Note F.

Although Ms. Plaza is responsible for the taxes on the Plaza's taxable income for the period from December 1, 2005 to January 24, 2006, pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse Ms. Plaza for the income taxes applicable to said taxable income. The reimbursement amounts to $125,227 and will be paid during the third quarter of 2006.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and betterments that extend the life of the assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

Intangible assets

Definite-lived intangible assets, such as customer lists and covenants not to compete, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets.

Stock-based Compensation

Through the quarter ended January 31, 2006, the Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options issued to employees under its stock option plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations whereby the amount of stock-based compensation expense is calculated as the difference between the fair market value and the exercise price on the date of issuance. For purposes of pro forma disclosures the amount of stock-based compensation is calculated using the fair value method of accounting for stock options issued to employees. The Company's pro forma information is as follows:

Income Per Share of Common Stock

Basic income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share includes the dilution of common stock equivalents. Pursuant to reverse acquisition accounting treatment, the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the computation of basic income per share was derived by weighting (i) for the period prior to the reverse acquisition transaction, the 1,150,000 shares received by the former stockholder of Plaza and the shares 600,000 shares received by San Juan Holdings, Inc., and (ii) for the period after the transaction, the number of shares outstanding represented the outstanding shares of Pharma-Bio. Diluted income per share includes the dilution of common equivalents. Accordingly, in computing diluted earnings per share, the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and exercise of the warrants issued in January 2006 private placement (see Note C) were deemed outstanding from the date of issuance to the end of the reporting period, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the investment banker for Plaza as a result of the reverse acquisition were deemed to be outstanding through all periods prior to the reverse acquisition.

The weighted average common shares outstanding (basic and diluted) were calculated using the treasury stock method for the respective periods.

NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

1. In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" ("FIN 47"). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred, generally upon acquisition, construction or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FASB Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to a reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset obligation. This interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The provisions of this interpretation are effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Management does not expect that the application of this standard will have any effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial condition.

2. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153 "Exchanges of Non-Monetary Transactions - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29." The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions," is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of this Statement are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after December 16, 2004. The provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FASB Statement No.153 will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

3. In December 2004, the FASB published Statement No. 123R requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transaction be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Statement No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share option restricted plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Statement No. 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Statement No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion No. 25, as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used.

This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. One of the effects of the application of FASB123R is to treat the value (as properly determined) of the options as compensation to the grantees, thus increasing the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses.

4. In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 "Accounting for Changes and Errors Corrections.' This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20 "Accounting Changes" and FASB Statement No. 3 "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.

This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When its is impracticable to determine the period specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retroactive application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This Statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FASB Statement No. 154 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

On January 25, 2006, contemporaneously with the consummation of the acquisition, Pharma-Bio sold, in a private placement, 47 units, each unit consisting of 25,000 shares of series A preferred stock, warrants to purchase 85,100 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share and warrants to purchase 85,100 shares of common stock at $1.65 per share. In the private placement, Pharma-Bio issued an aggregate of 1,175,000 shares of series A preferred stock (which are convertible into an aggregate of 15,998,800 shares of common stock), warrants to purchase 3,999,700 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share, and warrants to purchase 3,999,700 shares of common stock at $1.65 per share, to 42 accredited investors. The Company paid brokerage commissions of 10% of the gross purchase price and an aggregate non-accountable expense allowance of 3% of the gross purchase price with respect to the units sold. In certain cases, the broker waived the commission and non-accountable expense allowance, and the investor paid the purchase price less the commission and non-accountable expense allowance. The purchase price for the 47 units sold was $11,750,000. Broker-dealers waived commission and non-accountable expense allowance with respect to $628,750, the Company paid commissions and non-accountable expense allowances totaling $898,750, and the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,439,892 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $.7344 per share and a term of three years.

Each share of series A preferred stock automatically converts into 13.616 shares of common stock, or an aggregate of 15,998,800 shares of common stock, upon the filing of a certificate of amendment to Pharma-Bio’s certificate of incorporation which increases the authorized capital stock to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 50,000,000 shares of common stock. The board of directors has approved such an amendment, subject to stockholder approval.

The holders of the series A preferred stock have no dividend rights, except that, if a dividend is declared with respect to the common stock, the holders of the Series A preferred stock shall be entitled to dividends on the preferred stock on an "as if converted" basis.

The warrants issued in the private placement expire five years from the closing date and are callable by Pharma-Bio if the closing price of the common stock is at least twice the exercise price of the warrants for twenty (20) consecutive trading days.

The holders of the series A preferred stock and the warrants issued in the private placement have demand and piggyback registration rights.

This amount is amortized on the straight-line method over the five-year term of the non-competition covenant.

Customer-related intangible assets consist mainly of a customer list which Plaza acquired along with certain other assets from a business which performs in the United States consulting services similar to those performed by the Company in Puerto Rico. The total assets were acquired for $300,000, of which $150,000 were allocated to the customer-related intangible assets. Of the total purchase price, $100,000 was paid in January 2006, $100,000 will be paid in March 2006 and the remaining $100,000 will be paid in June 2006. The value of the customer list is being amortized on the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of three years.

All of the intangibles assets were originated in January 2006, therefore, the Company will amortize them commencing in February 2006.

NOTE F - INCOME TAXES

The Company's taxable income is subject to the Puerto Rico income tax at the 20% to 39% rates provided by the 1994 Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, as amended. However, on August 1, 2005, Puerto Rico Act No. 41 was approved, which imposes an additional 2.5% special tax to all corporations and partnerships having a net taxable income over $20,000. The Act is effective for taxable years commencing after December 31, 2004 and ending on or before December 31, 2006, therefore, the Company's maximum effective tax rate will be 41.5% for its fiscal year ending on October 31, 2006. The maximum effective tax rate for all other years will be 39%.

The income tax expense is computed at statutory rates applied to income calculated in accordance with the accounting practices described herein and as shown in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

The reasons for the difference between the income tax expense applicable to income before income taxes and the amount computed by applying the statutory tax rate in Puerto Rico, were as follows:

January 31,

Because Plaza was treated as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code through January 24, 2006, its income was taxed to its stockholder through said date, and Plaza did not pay income tax. If income tax were paid at the statutory rate, the Company’s net income would have been $535,535, or $0.30 per share (basic) and $0.10 per share (diluted), for the quarter ended January 31, 2006; and $955,724, or $0.55 per share (basic) and $0.24 per share (diluted), for the quarter ended January 31, 2005.

NOTE G - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS; DUE TO AFFILIATE

In addition, the Company will pay Ms. Plaza three payments of $2,750,000, including imputed interest determined in accordance with Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code, on January 25, 2007, 2008, and 2009 as follows:

San Juan Holdings represented Plaza and Elizabeth Plaza in connection with the reverse acquisition. For such services, Pharma-Bio issued 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $.06 per share, to San Juan Holdings. In Pharma-Bio's private placement of series A preferred stock and warrants, San Juan Holdings purchased three units. The purchase price for the three units was $750,000. The broker, which is an affiliate of San Juan Holdings, waived the commission and non-accountable expense allowance with respect to such sales, and as a result, San Juan Holdings purchased the three units for a net payment of $652,500. The Company also paid an affiliate of San Juan Holdings a broker's commission and non-accountable expense allowance of $195,000 for sales made to other purchasers in the private placement, and Pharma-Bio issued to the affiliate three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 275,724 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.7344 per share.

Pursuant to the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s clients are required to withhold a percentage of its fees (usually 3%, but sometimes 7%) as withheld income tax and remit such amount to the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury.  Such payment is treated as a payment on account to the Company’s income tax obligations.  Prior to January 25, 2006, Plaza was an N Corporation, and the Company’s taxable income was taxed to Ms. Plaza, as sole stockholder.  Accordingly, such withheld taxes were treated as a distribution to the Company’s stockholder since Ms. Plaza was the one entitled to take the credit for the income tax withheld by the Company’s clients in her personal income tax return.  The amounts withheld prior to January 25, 2006 are recognized in the financial statements as noncash distribution.

NOTE H - COMMITMENTS
 
CONTRACTS

On January 25, 2006, the Company entered into employment agreements with Elizabeth Plaza and Nelida Plaza.

During the term of her employment, the Company will also provide Ms. Plaza with an automobile allowance at the annual rate of $24,828, discretionary bonuses and stock options or other equity-based incentives as shall be determined by the compensation committee's board of directors, except that her bonus shall not be less than 4% nor more than 50% of her salary. If the Company terminates Ms. Plaza's employment other than for cause or as a result of her death or disability, the Company is required to pay Ms. Plaza the balance of her compensation for her employment terms and her consulting term and other benefits, including a pro rata portion of the bonus that would have been paid to her, and her obligations under her non-competition provision terminate.

NOTE I - STOCK OPTIONS

In October 2005, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, covering 2,500,000 shares of common stock. The 2005 plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based incentives to employees, including officers, and consultants. The 2005 plan is to be administered by a committee of independent directors. In the absence of a committee, the plan is administered by the board of directors. Independent directors are not eligible of discretionary options. However, each newly elected independent director receives at the time of his or her election, a five-year option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at the market price on the date of his or her election. In addition, the plan provides for the annual grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the first trading day of January of each year, commencing January 2007. The options to directors have a term of five years and become exercisable cumulatively as to 50% of the shares subject to the option six months from the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% 18 months from the date of grant. Pursuant to this provision, on January 25, 2006, options to purchase 25,000 shares at $.7344 per share, being the fair market value on the date of grant, were automatically granted to each of the three independent directors. Options intended to be incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price per share which is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and may have a term which is not longer than ten years. If the option holder holds 10% of our common stock, the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and the term of the option cannot exceed five years.

Pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, all outstanding options issued by Plaza were terminated, and the Company granted incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.7344 per share to the holders of such terminated Plaza options pursuant to the Company's 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Of the total options to purchase 1,400,000 shares of common stock, options to purchase 776,186 shares of common stock were granted to 18 employees whose options to purchase Plaza common stock were cancelled. The options to purchase the remaining 623,814 shares of common stock were granted to both the 18 former holders of Plaza options and 23 additional Plaza employees.

All of the foregoing option grants are subject to stockholder approval of the 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan.

Pursuant to the Plaza Agreement, Pharma-Bio agreed that it would issue 100 shares of common stock to each of Plaza's eligible employees. Such shares will not be issued until Pharma-Bio is eligible to use a Form S-8 registration statement in connection with the issuance of such shares. Approximately 16,500 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to this program.

NOTE J - CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

The Company's cash balances are maintained in a bank checking account. Management deems all its accounts receivable to be fully collectible, and, as such, does not maintain any allowances for uncollectible receivables.

The Company's revenues are concentrated in the pharmaceutical industry in the island of Puerto Rico, and a small number of customers have accounted for a significant percentage of its revenue. For the quarter ended January 31, 2006, three customers accounted for approximately 68.1% of revenue. Two of these customers accounted for approximately 63.4% of revenue in the quarter ended January 31, 2005. The same customers had an outstanding balance at January 31, 2006 and 2005 representing 63.4% and 74.8% of the total receivables, respectively. The Company assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. However, the loss or significant decline in business from any of its major customers could have a material effect upon its revenue and income.

NOTE K - RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company has a qualified profit sharing in accordance with the provision of Section l165(a)(3)(A) of the Puerto Rico Code, for employees who meet certain age and service period requirements. The Company makes contributions to this plan as required by the provisions of the plan document. Contributions for the three months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005 were $10,265 and $6,336, respectively.

NOTE L - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 22, 2006, Pharma-Bio changed its fiscal year to the fiscal year ended October 31, which is Plaza’s fiscal year. The change in fiscal year is reflected in the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended January 31, 2006. The change of fiscal year results from the acquisition of Plaza.

On February 27, 2006, Lawrence filed a certificate of ownership and merger merging its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc., into Lawrence. As a result of the filing of this certificate, Lawrence corporate name was changed to Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc. Pharma-Bio never had any operations, assets and liabilities. The merger was effected solely to change Lawrence's name.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the related notes. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements. For a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in the forward-looking statements, see "Forward Looking Statements."

As a result of the reverse acquisition that closed on January 25, 2006, Plaza is treated as the accounting acquirer and the results of operations for periods prior to January 25, 2006 reflect only the operations of Plaza.

Overview

The Company is a validation and compliance consulting service firm in Puerto Rico. The validation and compliance consulting service market in Puerto Rico consists of local validation and compliance consulting firms, United States dedicated validation and compliance consulting firms and large publicly traded and private domestic and foreign engineering and consulting firms. The Company provides a broad range of compliance and validation consulting services. The Company markets its services to pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology and medical devices and allied products companies in Puerto Rico, the United States and Europe through their Puerto Rico operations. The Company's staff includes more than 140 experienced engineering and life science professionals, and includes former FDA investigators, former quality assurance managers or directors, and experienced and well-trained professionals with masters and doctorates in health sciences and engineering.

The Company's revenue is derived from time and materials contracts (representing approximately 90% of total revenues), where the clients are charged for the time, materials and expenses incurred on a particular project, and to a lesser extent (approximately 10% of total revenues), from fixed-fee contracts or from "not to exceed" contracts, which generally are short-term contracts, in which the value of the contract to the Company cannot exceed a stated amount. For time and materials contracts, the Company's revenue is principally a function of the number of its compliance and validation professional employees and the volume of hours billed per professional. To the extent that the Company's revenue is based on fixed-fee or "not to exceed" contracts, its ability to operate profitably is dependent upon its ability to estimate accurately the costs that it will incur on a project and to management and monitoring progress. If the Company
underestimates its costs on any contract, it would sustain a loss on the contract.

The Company believes the most significant factors to achieving future business growth are the ability to (a) continue to provide quality value-added validation and compliance services to its clients in the Puerto Rico marketplace; (b) recruit and retain highly educated and experienced validation and compliance professionals; (c) further expand its products and services to address the expanding compliance needs of the its clients; and (d) expand the Company's market presence into the United States, Latin America and Europe in order to respond to the international validation and compliance demands of its clients.

The Company's business has been dependent upon a small number of clients; a very small number of clients accounts for a disproportionately large percentage of the Company's revenues. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2006, three customers accounted for approximately 68.1% of revenues. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2005, two of these three customers accounted for approximately 63.5% of revenues. The loss of or significant reduction in the scope of work performed for any major customer could impair the Company's ability to operate profitably. In particular, the Company had a contract with its largest customer which expired on December 31, 2005. Although this contract was extended through March 2006, the level of business has significantly declined from the prior year.

On January 9, 2006, Plaza acquired, for $300,000, from the individual who became the Company's executive vice president and chief operating officer, certain assets of a United States based company that performs consulting services for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. These assets include a client list and a validation compliance service business. One-third of the purchase price was paid in January 2006, one-third is payable on March 31, 2006 and one-third is payable on June 30, 2006. The Company also hired eleven former employees of the business. This acquisition was made pursuant to the Company's strategy to expand its operations beyond Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico businesses with a view to lessening the Company's dependence upon a small number of Puerto Rico pharmaceutical companies. Revenues from these operations for the quarter ended January 31, 2006 were not significant. The Company cannot give assurance that any significant revenues will be derived from these operations.

The principal components of the Company's costs of revenue are employee compensation (salaries, wages, taxes and benefits) and expenses relating to the performance of the services. The Company faces increasing labor costs which the Company seeks to pass on to its customers through increases in its rates. However, there is often a delay between the increase in the Company's costs and the increases in its billing rate, which may result in a reduced gross margin during that period. Although the Company has been successful in the past in being able to increase its billing rates to reflect its increased labor costs, the Company cannot give any assurance that it will continue to be able to do so.

On January 25, 2006, Pharma-Bio acquired Plaza in a transaction which is accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Plaza being deemed the accounting acquirer. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company paid Elizabeth Plaza, the sole stockholder of Plaza, $10,000,000 plus 1,150,000 shares of Pharma-Bio's common stock. In addition, Ms. Plaza will receive three payments, each in the amount of $2,750,000, payable on January 25, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The first payment, net of imputed interest, is a current liability at January 31, 2006, and, together with the costs incurred by Pharma-Bio in connection with the acquisition of Plaza, is a significant factor in the reduction in the Company's working capital at January 31, 2006, as discussed under "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

As a condition to closing, Plaza was required to have a net tangible book value of not less than $5,500,000, of which at least $2,000,000 was in cash, as of November 30, 2005, with the excess to be paid to Ms. Plaza, the selling stockholder. As a result, we owed Ms. Plaza an additional $88,161 pursuant to this provision.
 
The agreement relating to the acquisition of Plaza also provides that we, rather than Ms. Plaza, are responsible for the income tax from December 1, 2005 through the closing date, which was January 25, 2006. Because of the status of Plaza as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, Plaza’s net income from December 1, 2005 to January 24, 2006 is taxed to Ms. Plaza. The income tax payable by Ms. Plaza for Plaza’s taxable income for said period amounts to $125,227. We will pay Ms. Plaza the $88,161 payable described in the preceding paragraph and the $125,227 tax reimbursement during the third quarter of 2006. Both of these payments are treated as additional payments on account of the purchase price of Ms. Plaza’s stock.

Prior to January 25, 2006, we operated as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code. An N corporation is similar to an S corporation under the United States Internal Revenue Code in that the corporation itself is not subject to tax and all taxable income is taxed to Ms. Plaza, as the sole stockholder. Upon the completion of the reverse acquisition on January 25, 2006, we became subject to Puerto Rico income tax, which provides for corporate income tax at our tax bracket at rates ranging from 39% to 41.5%. The table under “Results of Operations” shows the pro forma results of operations as if we had been subject to Puerto Rico income tax during the three-months periods ended January 31, 2006 and 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States. We believe the following are the critical accounting policies that impact the financial statements.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenues when services are rendered to customers for time and materials contracts. In the case of fixed-fee contracts or “not to exceed” contracts, which are generally short-term contracts, revenue is recognized based on the percentage that the services rendered bears to the estimated services to be performed over the contract.

Bad Debt - Bad debts are accounted for using the direct write-off method whereby an expense is recognized only when a specific account is determined to be uncollectible. The effect of using this method approximates that of the allowance method.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and betterments that extend the life of the assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

Income Taxes - Plaza elected from its inception until January 25, 2006, when Pharma-Bio acquired Plaza, to be covered under the provisions of Subchapter N of Subtitle A of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code (the "Puerto Rico Code"), which is similar to Subchapter S of the United States Internal Revenue Code in that the Company pays no income taxes since the taxable income is taxed to the Company's stockholders. Under the provisions of the Puerto Rico Code, Plaza paid the Puerto Rico Secretary of Treasury, on behalf of its stockholder, an amount equal to 33% of its taxable income. These payments, and any income tax withheld, are included in the amount of distributions to stockholder in the Company's financial statements.

Commencing with the acquisition of Plaza on January 25, 2006, the Company will be tax based on its taxable income under the applicable provisions of the Puerto Rico Code and the United States Internal Revenue Code. The financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005 reflect an income tax expense based on the applicable provisions of the Puerto Rico Code, since the income was earned in Puerto Rico, and, pursuant to the Puerto Rico Code, the Company did not pay income tax for periods prior to January 25, 2006.

Concentration of credit risk - Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its bank account in a high quality financial institution. While the Company attempts to limit any financial exposure, its deposit balances frequently exceed federally insured limits; however, no losses have been experienced on this account.
 
22


The Company's revenues are concentrated in the pharmaceutical industry in the island of Puerto Rico. Approximately $2.3 million, or 68.1%, of the revenues in the January 31, 2006 quarter were generated by three customers. Two of these customers accounted for revenue of approximately $3.0 million, or 63.5%, of revenue for the January 31, 2005 quarter. The three customers had an outstanding balance at January 31, 2006 representing 63.2% of the total receivables. The Company assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

Retirement Plan - Plaza adopted a qualified profit sharing plan in January 2002 (amended on November 30, 2003) in accordance with the provision of the Puerto Rico Code, for employees who meet certain age and service period requirements. The Company makes contributions to this plan as required by the provisions of the plan document, amounting to $7,537 for the January 31, 2006 quarter and $5,016 for the January 31, 2005 quarter.

Stock Option Plan - During the year ended October 31, 2004, Plaza granted stock options with an exercise price equal to the book value of the common stock as of October 31, 2003, which Plaza deemed to be the fair value of its common stock.. The options expired ten years from the date of grant and generally vested over a three-year period. In connection with the acquisition of Plaza, these options were cancelled and Pharma-Bio granted the option holders options to purchase an aggregate of 776,186 shares of common stock and issued options to purchase an additional 623,814 shares of common stock to employees of Plaza, including those whose options were cancelled. In addition, options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock were granted to our independent directors pursuant to a provision of the plan that provided for the automatic grant of an option to purchase 25,000 shares upon the initial election of an independent director. All of the Company’s outstanding options have an exercise price of $.7344, a term of five years and are exercisable in installments.

Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments (excluding obligations under capital leases): cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are considered reasonable estimates of fair value due to short period to maturity. The Company believes, based on current rates, that the fair value of its obligations under capital leases approximates the carrying amount.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" ("FIN 47"). FIN 47 clarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement obligation" as used in FASB Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred, generally upon acquisition, construction or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FASB Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset obligation. This interpretation also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. Management does not expect that the application of this standard will have any effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153 "Exchanges of Non-Monetary Transactions - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29." The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions," is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FASB Statement No. 153 will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
 
23


In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This Statement, No. 123R, supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its related implementation guide. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges instruments for goods and services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs in liabilities in exchange of goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005. As a result of the implementation of Statement 123R, the grant of options will be treated as compensation based on the value of the option, which will increase the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses.

In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154 "Accounting for Changes and Errors Corrections." This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20 "Accounting Changes" and FASB Statement No. 3 "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When its is impracticable to determine the period specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retroactive application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FASB Statement No. 154 will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

(1) Plaza was treated as an N Corporation under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, which is similar to an S Corporation under the United States Internal Revenue Code, prior to the reverse acquisition. As a result, Plaza did not pay any income tax. Since January 25, 2006, the Company has been subject to income tax in Puerto Rico. If Plaza had not been treated as an N Corporation during the three-month periods ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company income before income taxes would have been taxed at rates ranging from 39% to 41.5%. The following table shows the income before income taxes, pro forma income taxes and pro forma net income for these periods in dollars (dollars in thousands) and as a percentage of revenue:

Quarter Ended January 31, 2006 Compared to Quarter Ended January 31, 2005

Revenues. Revenues for the first quarter 2006 were $3.4 million, a decrease of approximately $1.3 million, or 27.4%, compared to first quarter 2005 revenues. This decline reflected a decline in revenue of approximately $1.3 million in the quarter ended January 31, 2006 from the comparable quarter of the prior year from the two companies which were our two largest customers in both the quarter ended January 31, 2005, following completion of contracts with these customers.

Cost of Revenues; Gross Margin. The Company's gross margin decreased from 43.4% to 40.3% during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005. The reduction of gross margin was attributable to increased labor costs, which is the only component of our cost of revenues. Although we try to pass on the increased costs, we are not always able to do so in a timely manner, and there are often delays between the time we incur increased labor costs and the time we are able to increase our charges to customers.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses of the first quarter 2006 were in line with the selling, general and administrative expenses of the comparable quarter of the prior year.

Income Tax Expense. The increase in the income tax expense results from a change in the Company’s tax status. The Company became a regular corporation taxpayer effective January 25, 2006. Prior to that date, the Company did not pay taxes pursuant to the provisions of Subchapter N of Subtitle A of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code (the "Puerto Rico Code"), which is similar to Subchapter S of the United States Internal Revenue Code in that its taxable income is taxed to the stockholders.
 
25


Net Income. As a result of the Company's decline in revenues, combined with a lower gross margin resulting from the increase in labor costs and the change its tax status, the Company's net income for the January 31, 2006 quarter decreased to approximately $894,000, or $.50 per share (basic) and $.16 per share (diluted), a decline of approximately $673,000, or 43.0%, from the net income of approximately $1,567,000, or $.90 per share (basic) and $0.39 per share (diluted), for the January 31, 2005 quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including planned capital expenditures. At January 31, 2006, the Company had working capital of approximately $3.2 million, a decrease of $2.6 million from the working capital at October 31, 2005 of $5.8 million. Although the Company generated approximately $2.0 million from operations in the quarter ended January 31, 2006, this increase was offset by the current obligation of $2.5 million payable to Elizabeth Plaza in connection with the acquisition of Plaza. The Company also has long term obligations to Ms. Plaza for the payments of $2.75 million due in January 2008 and 2009. The Company raised gross proceeds of $11.75 million from the sale of series A preferred stock and warrants, and used $10 million to pay Elizabeth Plaza the cash portion of the purchase price of the Plaza stock and most of the balance to pay offering expenses and closing expenses.

For the three months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company made cash distributions of approximately $834,000 and $285,000, respectively, to or on behalf of Elizabeth Plaza. These amounts include cash distributions ($750,000 and $123,000 for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively) and income tax withheld by clients which was treated as a payment of taxes on behalf of Ms. Plaza and used as a credit by Ms. Plaza on her income taxes ($85,000 and $161,000 for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively).

The Company's primary cash needs consist of payment of compensation to its professional employees, overhead expenses and payment to the Puerto Rico Secretary of the Treasury for income taxes. The Company has a line of credit of $250,000 secured by the personal guarantee of the Company's chief executive officer who, at the time the credit line was established, was Plaza's sole stockholder. This line of credit bears interest at 2.00% over the prime rate and was unused at January 31, 2006.

Management believes that based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth, cash flows from operations, high quality customer receivables will be sufficient to fund anticipated expenses and satisfy other possible long-term contractual commitments for the next twelve months.

While uncertainties relating to competition, the industries and geographical regions served by the Company and other regulatory matters exist within the consulting services industry, management is not aware of any trends or events likely to have a material adverse effect on liquidity or its financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements

This Report on Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations. In light of the important factors that can materially affect results, including those set forth in this paragraph and below, the inclusion of forward-looking information herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.

Assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause the Company to alter its marketing, or other budgets, which may in turn affect the Company's financial position and results of operations. The reader is therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak solely as of the date of this Form 10-QSB, and the forward looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the material contained in "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Company's Form 8-K which was filed on January 31, 2006 and the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in this Form 10-QSB/A. The Company assumes no  responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
