Note 1. Accounting Policies-Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ deficit include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based transactions, account payables and accrued expenses and taxes, among others.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and financial statements and notes thereto included in the BioLargo, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 2. Business and Organization

Outlook

BioLargo, Inc. (the “Company”) had no continuing business operations as of March 31, 2007 and until the completion of the acquisition of the BioLargo technology on April 30, 2007, and operated as a public shell prior to such date.

The Company will need working capital resources to maintain the Company’s status and to fund other anticipated costs and expenses during the year ending December 31, 2007 and beyond, as well as to fund the exploitation of the technology acquired from IOWC Technologies, Inc. (“IOWC”). The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital to, at a minimum, meet its corporate maintenance requirements and the funding of technology that must be exploited. It would need additional outside capital until and unless that technology is able to generate positive working capital sufficient to fund the Company’s cash flow requirements from operations.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of the Company’s business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,590,347 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, negative cash flow from operating activities of $406,773 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, and an accumulated deficit of $31,130,240 as of March 31, 2007. Also, as of March 31, 2007, the Company had limited liquid and capital resources. The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attract new sources of capital, exploit the technology acquired so it attains a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieves profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $146,561 at March 31, 2007. The Company had no revenues in the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, and its financing activities funded operations.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold an aggregate $324,000 principal amount of its promissory notes (the “Fall 2006 Notes”) due and payable September 13, 2008 to 16 investors. Additionally, from April 1, 2007 through April 25, 2007, the Company sold the remaining $192,000 principal amount of Fall 2006 Notes to six investors. Each Fall 2006 Offering Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, such interest to be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or stock at an initial conversion rate of $0.6875 per share.

(UNAUDITED)

 

As of March 31, 2007, the Company has $2,152,950 aggregate principal amount of its promissory notes that mature at various times during 2007 and 2008. This amount primarily includes (i) a note totaling $900,000 due to New Millennium Capital Partners, LLC (“New Millennium”) (see Note 6); (ii) Augustine Loan totaling $420,000 (see Note 5); (iii) convertible notes totaling $808,000 (see Note 3); (iv) promissory note totaling $25,000 due to a former professional for legal services (see Note 7). Of the $2,152,950 outstanding as of March 31, 2007, an aggregate amount of $1,320,000 was subsequently converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. (See Note 8.) The Company does not presently have funds sufficient to repay these remaining obligations as they mature. No financing is in place at present, and it is unknown if any financing will be in place in the future, which would permit the Company to repay these notes in full as they mature.

On March 15, 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved, and effective as of the close of business on March 21, 2007, the Company completed a 1-for-25 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”).

Additionally, on March 15, 2007, the Company’s stockholders’ approved and the Company has filed, an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing the Company’s authorized capital stock to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all references in the financial statements to the Company’s common stock are stated on a post-Reverse Split basis.

Organization

On March 15, 2007 the Company’s stockholders approved, and the Company has completed, an increase in its authorized capital stock and a corporate name change, changing its name from NuWay Medical, Inc. to BioLargo, Inc. The amendment to the certificate of incorporation reflecting the increase in stock and name change was filed on March 16, 2007 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. In connection with this name change, on March 21, 2007 the Company began trading under a new symbol, “BLGO”, under which it will continue to trade on the Pink Sheets.

The Company was initially organized as Repossession Auction, Inc. under the laws of the State of Florida in 1989. In 1991, the Company merged into a Delaware corporation bearing the same name. In 1994, the Company's name was changed to Latin American Casinos, Inc. to reflect its focus on the gaming and casino business in South and Central America, and in 2001 the Company changed its name to NuWay Energy, Inc. to reflect its new emphasis on the oil and gas development industry. During October 2002, the Company's name was changed to NuWay Medical, Inc. coincident with the divestiture of its non-medical assets and the retention of new management.

Transactions Involving the BioLargo Technology

Leading up to the completion of the acquisition of the BioLargo technology in April 2007, the Company engaged in several transactions with Mr. Code and IOWC. Mr. Code is the sole stockholder and sole director of IOWC.

Letter of Intent

In July 2005, the Company entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) with IOWC. The LOI set out the terms for the acquisition of certain assets of IOWC consisting of certain intellectual property, including two United States patents and two licenses and/or distributor agreements pursuant to which IOWC had licensed certain of its technologies for use in products designed for distribution in the food, medical and biohazardous material transportation industries. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the

Table of Contents

BIOLARGO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

LOI, the Company agreed to issue up to 51% of its common stock to IOWC. The LOI provided that the transactions contemplated by the LOI would be completed pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement as well as a research and development agreement. In addition, the LOI required certain stockholders approvals as a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the LOI including approval of the issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock to IOWC, a reverse stock split and an increase in the authorized capital stock of the Company.

As the parties worked toward preparing the documentation called for by the LOI and as the Company began to prepare the proxy materials needed for its stockholders meeting, it became increasingly clear to the parties that the length of time and the costs involved in preparing documentation for a stockholders meeting would likely jeopardize the chances that the transactions contemplated by the LOI could be completed in a manner benefiting both parties. Accordingly, in late 2005 the parties began to explore alternative strategies that would enable them to begin to realize the benefits of the transactions contemplated by the LOI while at the same time allowing the Company to call a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of approving the issuance of shares of its common stock in connection with the acquisition of the BioLargo technology.

Marketing and Licensing Agreement

In furtherance of the proposed transactions with IOWC, on December 31, 2005, the Company entered into the Marketing and Licensing Agreement (the “M&L Agreement”) with IOWC and Mr. Code.

Pursuant to the M&L Agreement, the Company’s subsidiary, BioLargo Life Technologies, Inc. (“BLTI”), acquired certain rights to develop, market, sell and distribute products that were developed, and were then in development, by IOWC relating to the BioLargo technology.

Licenses Granted to BLTI. Pursuant to the terms of the M&L Agreement, IOWC granted to BLTI a license, with respect to the BioLargo technology, to further develop the technology, to further develop existing and new products based on that technology, and to produce, market, sell and distribute any such products, through its own means, or by contract or assignment to third parties or otherwise, including without limitation:

 

   

Technology Development Rights. Exclusive worldwide rights to expand and improve upon the existing BioLargo technology, to conduct research and development activities based on the BioLargo technology, and to contract with third parties for such research and development activities; and any improvements on the BioLargo technology, or any new technology resulting such efforts of BLTI, shall be owned solely by BLTI.

 

   

Product Development Rights. Exclusive worldwide rights to expand and improve upon the existing products incorporating the BioLargo technology, to conduct research and development activities to create new products for market, and to contract with third parties for such research and development activities. Any new products created by BLTI resulting from these efforts shall be owned solely by BLTI.

 

   

Marketing Rights. Exclusive right to market, advertise, and promote the BioLargo technology in any market and in any manner it deems commercially reasonable.

 

   

Manufacturing Rights. A transferable, worldwide exclusive right to manufacture, or have manufactured, products incorporating the BioLargo technology.

 

   

Selling Rights. A transferable, worldwide exclusive right to sell BioLargo technology and products incorporating the BioLargo technology.

 

   

Distribution Rights. A transferable, worldwide exclusive right to inventory and distribute products incorporating the BioLargo technology.

Assigned Agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the M&L Agreement, IOWC and Mr. Code also assigned to BLTI its rights and obligations with respect to the following Agreements (collectively, the “Assigned Agreements”):

 

   

Agreement dated October 15, 2004 by and between Kenneth R. Code, IOWC, BioLargo Technologies, Inc., or IOWC’s assigns, and Craig Sundheimer and Lloyd M. Jarvis (the “Sundheimer Agreement”);

 

   

Agreement dated January 15, 2005 by and between Kenneth R. Code, IOWC and Food Industry Technologies, Inc.; and

 

   

Letter of Intent dated November 15, 2004 by and between Kenneth R. Code and IOWC and GTS Research, Inc.

Pursuant to the terms of the M&L Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive any and all royalties, payments, license fees, and other consideration generated by the Assigned Agreements as of January 1, 2006. As part of the assignment, IOWC agreed to transfer the 20% interest it acquired in “BioLargo, LLC” pursuant to the Sundheimer Agreement. In October 2006, the Company terminated the Sundheimer Agreement, for cause. Subsequently, the Company and IOWC agreed that IOWC’s 20% interest in BioLargo, LLC would not be transferred by IOWC to BLTI, but that BLTI would have the option to acquire such 20% interest for nominal consideration for seven years (the “Option Agreement”).

Consulting Agreement

On June 20, 2006, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Code (the “Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Company engaged the services of Mr. Code, effective January 1, 2006, to advise the Company in research and development and technical support, and to provide other services and assistance to the Company in matters relating to the BioLargo technology and the rights acquired by the Company in the M&L Agreement.

The Consulting Agreement contained provisions requiring Mr. Code to devote substantially all of his business time to the Company; prohibiting Mr. Code from directly or indirectly engaging in any business activity that would be competitive with the business of the Company or its affiliates, including BLTI; providing that during the term of the Consulting Agreement and for one year post-termination, Mr. Code will not solicit the Company’s employees or customers; and other standard provisions typical for a consulting agreement. The Consulting Agreement also provided that the Company retains the exclusive right to use or distribute all creations which may be created during the term of the Consulting Agreement. The Consulting Agreement, as amended on December 20, 2006 and as of March 30, 2007, terminated when the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Code on April 30, 2007. During the term of the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Code was paid $15,400 per month, prorated for partial months, and was entitled to reimbursement for authorized business expenses incurred in the performance of his duties.

Research and Development Agreement

On August 11, 2006, the Company and BLTI entered into a Research and Development Agreement with IOWC and Mr. Code (the “R&D Agreement”), which agreement was amended on August 14, 2006. Pursuant to the R&D Agreement, IOWC and Mr. Code agreed to provide research and development services and expertise in the field of disposable absorbent products to the Company.

The R&D Agreement provides that the Company will own, and will have the exclusive right to commercially exploit, the intellectual property developed, created, generated, contributed to or reduced to practice pursuant to the R&D Agreement. In addition, IOWC and Mr. Code have agreed that during the term of the R&D Agreement and for one year after termination they will not compete with, and will not provide services to any person or entity which competes with, any aspect of the Company’s business.

During the term of the R&D Agreement, but only after mutually acceptable research facilities are established for the performance of IOWC’s services (as of this date, no acceptable research facilities have been established), IOWC shall be paid (i) a fee of $5,500 per month for each month during which no services are being performed pursuant to the R&D Agreement to offset for laboratory and/or office and IOWC employee expenses and (ii) such additional amounts as the parties may agree in connection with specific research projects conducted pursuant to the R&D Agreement.

As further consideration to Mr. Code to enter into the R&D Agreement, on August 14, 2006 the Company issued to Mr. Code 620,637 shares of its common stock, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split (the “Code Stock”), or approximately 19.9% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the issuance of the Code Stock.

In connection with the completion of the acquisition of the BioLargo technology in April 2007, the M&L Agreement, Consulting Agreement, and R&D Agreement were terminated.

Introduction

By leveraging our suite of patented and patent-pending intellectual property, which we refer to as the BioLargo technology, our business strategy is to harness and deliver nature’s best disinfectant – iodine – in a safe, efficient, environmentally sensitive and cost-effective manner. Our BioLargo technology works by combining minerals with water from any source and delivering molecular iodine on demand, in controlled dosages, in order to balance efficacy of disinfectant performance with concerns about toxicity. When our BioLargo technology is incorporated in absorbent products, they also experience increased holding power and may experience increased absorption.

Our BioLargo technology creates a value-added proposition to existing products and can be used to create new products. Our BioLargo technology can be incorporated into absorbents, washes and sprays, and into various products and applications across multiple industry verticals. Our BioLargo technology has the potential to replace other disinfectants such as chlorines and bromines, which may be harmful to the environment. Our business model is to license our BioLargo technology to others, rather than to manufacture our own products.

Table of Contents

We have been engaged in the research and product development of the BioLargo technology since July 2005, when we entered into a letter of intent with the inventor of the BioLargo technology, Kenneth Reay Code, who is now a director, our Chief Technology Officer and our principal stockholder. Between December 2006 and April 2007, we operated under a Marketing and Licensing Agreement with Mr. Code and a company he controls, IOWC Technologies, Inc. (“IOWC”). In April 2007, we completed the acquisition of the BioLargo technology from IOWC.

Our current focus is to develop opportunities to license our BioLargo technology to others in various vertical markets. We do not currently intend to manufacture our own products, although we will contract with others to manufacture the chemicals and minerals that comprise the BioLargo technology.

The Company had no continuing business operations as of March 31, 2007 and until the completion of the acquisition of the BioLargo technology on April 30, 2007, and operated as a public shell prior to such date.

Plan of Operation

Overview

We intend to focus our efforts primarily on the further research and development, and the licensing of the BioLargo technology for at least the next 12 months. We may also develop certain products incorporating the BioLargo technology ourselves, on a more limited basis, for use in certain applications and industries.

Commercialization of the BioLargo Technology

We plan to pursue our primary revenues from licensing the BioLargo technology, subject to adequate financing, we may also produce some of our own products, although we do not presently intend to do so. Subject to regulatory compliance where applicable, the BioLargo technology is presently available for incorporation into certain products, including absorbent pads and materials to be used for clean up of or as a precautionary measure from spills of liquids, including hazardous materials. We are actively working with manufacturers, other technology developers and potential customers to develop additional products for distribution.

Our current business plan calls for us to license our BioLargo technology to others for incorporation into existing and newly-created products across numerous industry verticals. Currently, we do not intend to manufacture our own products. We intend to work with manufacturers on a contract-for-hire basis, or on a project–by–project basis with the potential for these manufacturers to create a product supplier relationship for potential licensees of products incorporating the BioLargo technology. These collaborative efforts will focus on design and specifications for production of pre-commercial samples of products and for actual commercial products. However, while we have been engaged in extensive negotiations with numerous potential licensees and other users of products incorporating the BioLargo technology, there are no such agreements in place to date and therefore we cannot forecast when we will first generate revenues, if at all.

We intend to pursue commercial opportunities in both the United States and Europe initially.

Sales and Marketing

Over at least the next 12 months, we intend to devote a significant part of our resources to sales and marketing of the BioLargo technology to potential licensees. This is a continuation of the initial efforts we undertook during 2006. While specific efforts will vary based on market conditions and opportunities that present themselves from time to time, the following discussion of recent efforts is indicative of the types of efforts we expect to undertake on an ongoing basis. Our sales and marketing efforts are subject to obtaining adequate third-party financing, for which no commitments are yet in place.

In April 2006, we engaged Robert Stewart, Ph.D., to serve as the Company’s regulatory specialist for required activities involving the EPA and the FDA. During this period, we also focused on establishing relationships with key agents who work on a commission basis to assist us in marketing to large corporations and other organizations. In May 2006, we hired a consultant to assist us on our marketing and sales efforts.

Table of Contents

From February through April 2006, we began discussions with five major research universities to further our research for specific applications. These various discussions are ongoing and focus on engaging those universities to perform research on the BioLargo technology for soil and sand remediation, animal studies, United States Department of Defense applications, and embedded anti-microbial applications in textiles. In September 2006, we hired UCLA to research applications of the BioLargo technology for beach and soil remediation. An initial report regarding this research was presented in October 2006 at the National Beaches Conference sponsored by the EPA.

Throughout 2006, we engaged in various efforts to continue testing, developing and pre-marketing products incorporating the BioLargo technology. For example, in January 2006, we contracted with a third party manufacturer to produce samples for presentation purposes of absorbent pads. We also engaged a particle, formulations, blending and specialty manufacturing company to work with us in product development and sample fabrication. In June 2006, we hired a third-party laboratory to perform a series of independent test and issue their reports to assist us in validating the BioLargo technology to a GLP standard.

Throughout 2006, we also were actively involved in initial marketing activities for the BioLargo technology. For example, in February 2006, we presented the BioLargo technology to a number of major corporations for potential licensing discussions. Following an April 2006 international conference of industry for infection control in Prague, Czech Republic, attended by Mr. Code, we pursued with Mr. Code presentations to one of the largest companies in the embedded anti-microbial industry. In June 2006, we began discussions with a number of large healthcare companies about incorporating the BioLargo technology in their products. The potential areas of focus include wound dressings, drapes, wipes, bandages, diapers disinfecting and sterilization solutions, among other possible uses in their various products.

Also in June 2006, we participated in a conference for all government agencies throughout California and have since discussed the BioLargo technology for possible governmental use in sewage spills, water quality, rainwater runoff contamination problems and beach clean-up efforts. Also in June 2006, we participated in a national military defense conference sponsored by the National Defense Industry Association for all military services, including the Department of Homeland Security, and have since discussed the BioLargo technology for possible application in the areas of military hospitals, pandemic prevention, agricultural protection, hazardous waste, food protection, decontamination of porous and non-porous materials, disaster relief and national world class laboratory access. Subsequently, we have presented the BioLargo technology with other governmental officials and agencies. In September 2006, we attended a national Agro Terrorism Conference sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Meetings are continuing with numerous potential licensees or purchasers or other users of products incorporating the BioLargo technology in a range of applications. A number of prospective licensees are engaged in materials and product testing efforts, as well as discussions with us about product designs and various uses of the BioLargo technology. However, it is essential to note that we do not yet have any agreements in place with any of these potential licensees, purchasers or other users, or any other potential licensees, purchasers or other users, regarding any products incorporating the BioLargo technology, and no assurance can be given if any such efforts will prove successful or result in commercialization of the BioLargo technology.

Because of the global implications of the BioLargo technology, we intend to augment our U.S. operations with an operational and marketing presence in the EU, subject to obtaining adequate funding, which we are actively seeking but for which no commitment has yet been obtained.

As of May 18, 2007, none of the sales and marketing efforts discussed above has generated any revenue, there are no agreements in place and therefore we cannot forecast when we will first generate revenues, if at all.

Research and Development, Intellectual Property Protection and Third-Party Testing

We currently anticipate that research and development costs over the next 12 months could range significantly, between $300,000 and $1,000,000, and will be subject to third-party financing which we will require in order to execute our business plan. Although we are actively pursuing such financing, no such commitment is in place at present. We would invest any such funds primarily on continued testing of the BioLargo technology in certain applications and the development of additional production methods for use of the BioLargo technology.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the BioLargo technology in April 2007, we obtained full rights, title and interest to two U.S. patents previously owned by Mr. Code and IOWC. Mr. Code, IOWC and co-inventors of certain intellectual property had previously assigned six USPTO patent applications and two additional PCT patent applications to the Company. We intend to continue to expand and enhance our suite of intellectual property through ongoing focus on product development, new intellectual property development and patent applications, and further third-party testing and validations for specific areas of focus for commercial exploitation. We currently anticipate that additional patent applications will be filed during the next 12 months with the USPTO and the PCT, and we are uncertain of the cost of such patent filings, as it will depend upon the number of such applications prepared and filed. The prosecution of patents and ongoing maintenance and defense of patents is expensive and will require substantial ongoing capital resources. However we cannot give any assurance that adequate capital will be available or will be available, if at all, on favorable terms.

Ongoing research and development, and third-party testing, is a critical part of our business plan. These efforts can be time consuming and some of these efforts are costly, requiring adequate capital resources to continue such efforts. However we cannot give any assurance that adequate capital will be available or will be available, if at all, on favorable terms.

Results of Operations—Comparison of the Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

Revenue

We had no revenues from operations during either the quarter ended March 31, 2007 or March 31, 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $619,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $334,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $285,000. The largest components of these expenses were:

a. Salaries and Payroll-related Expenses: These expenses were $56,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $46,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $10,000. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in Mr. Calvert’s salary per his employment agreement and a reduced salary related to Mr. Provenzano, the Company’s Secretary.

b. Consulting Expenses: These expenses were $140,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared $133,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $7,000. Our utilization of full-time and part-time consultants is consistent with executing our business plan to commercialize the BioLargo technology; to provide applications of the BioLargo technology for potential licensees or other customers in various vertical markets; with advising the Company in various respects regarding the BioLargo business and opportunities; further product development and design; financial, valuation and marketing services; licensing, initial marketing and pre-sale research and activities; and various other consulting services.

Table of Contents

c. Professional Fees: These expenses were $288,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $114,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $174,000. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in (i) the Company’s need for legal work related to the BioLargo technology, including the multiple patent applications, as well as obtaining stockholder approvals and preparing for the closing of the transactions with IOWC and Mr. Code; (ii) investment banking fees; (iii) accounting fees; and (iv) audit services.

d. Other Expense: These expenses were $66,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. These expenses were the result of converting Account Payables and Accrued Expenses, because the conversion common stock price was less than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $18,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $20,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Our level of research and product development is consistent with our plan to provide applications of the BioLargo technology for potential licensees or other customers in various vertical markets.

Net Loss

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $1,590,347, or $0.37 per share, compared to a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 of $441,638, or $0.18 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have been, and we will be, limited in terms of our capital resources. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $146,561 at March 31, 2007. We had no revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and were forced to use cash from financing activities to fund operations. Our cash position is insufficient to meet our continuing anticipated expenses or fund anticipated operating expenses. Accordingly, we will be required to raise additional capital to sustain operations and implement our post-acquisition business plan.

The financial statements accompanying this Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we had a net loss of $1,590,347 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, negative cash flow from operating activities of $406,773 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and an accumulated deficit of $31,130,240 as of March 31, 2007. The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to attract new sources of capital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by commercializing products incorporating the BioLargo technology. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to meet operating expenses and other financial obligations, we have been forced to use cash on hand to fund our operations. We have also continued to sell convertible promissory notes to investors. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we raised $324,000 gross and net proceeds in the Fall 2006 private offering. Subsequent to March 31, 2007, we raised an additional $192,000 in the Fall 2006 Offering. The Fall 2006 Offering terminated on April 25, 2007. As described below, the notes issued in our 2005 offerings were converted into shares of our common stock in March 2007. (See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds,” and Item 5, “Other Information.”) The Fall 2006 Notes remain outstanding.

As of March 31, 2007, we had outstanding $2,872,963 aggregate principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, on various promissory notes; and $738,047 aggregate amount of payables owed to directors, an officer and others.

Recently, we have taken significant steps to reduce our financial obligations. Following stockholder approval on March 15, 2007 for the recapitalization of our stock and the Reverse Split, we converted an aggregate principal amount of $1,953,120 and aggregate accrued but unpaid interest in the amount of $282,156, in respect of convertible notes held by 92 investors. These notes had various maturity dates and provided for various conversion prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.625 per share and were converted into an aggregate 6,985,441 shares of our common stock. We also converted an aggregate $608,759 of accrued payables to five of our current or former officers and directors into an aggregate 1,623,359 shares of our common stock. These conversions were effected at $0.375 per share, the closing price of a share of our common stock on the March 15, 2007 conversion date.

Table of Contents

We also converted an aggregate $740,296 of accrued payables to 18 of our current or former consultants into an aggregate 1,803,615 shares of our common stock, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. These conversions were effected at various previously agreed upon prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.625 per share, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. Of the 1,803,615 shares, (i) 525,000 shares of common stock were issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, leaving $543,421 of accrued payables on the balance sheet as of such date, and (ii) the balance of 1,278,615 shares were issued during the quarter ending June 30, 2007.

On April 11, 2007, the Augustine Fund converted an aggregate $717,138 of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Augustine Note into 2,031,553 shares of our common stock. The Augustine Note had a maturity date of May 1, 2007. The Augustine Note provided for a conversion price equal to the last bid price of the five trading days preceding the date of conversion, or $0.353 per share. The Augustine Note and the loan agreement in respect of the Augustine Note limited the Augustine Fund to hold not more than 4.9% of our issued and outstanding common stock at any given time. In connection with the conversion of the Augustine Note, we waived this limitation.

On April 13, 2007, New Millennium converted the $900,000 principal amount of the New Millennium Note into 1,636,364 shares of our common stock. The New Millennium Note had a maturity date of January 15, 2008. The New Millennium Note was converted at a price of $0.55 per share, which was the last bid price on the date of conversion. New Millennium is controlled by Dennis Calvert, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. As of April 13, 2007, accrued but unpaid interest in the amount of $380,658 remains outstanding on the New Millennium Note.

As a result of the foregoing transactions, we converted an aggregate $5,201,469 of obligations, consisting primarily of principal amount of notes, accrued and unpaid interest, salaries, fees and payables, into an aggregate 14,080,332 shares of our common stock. Of the $5,201,469 in obligations converted, $153,054 related to obligations incurred 2007, and the remaining $5,048,415 related to obligations incurred prior to December 31, 2006.

Although we recently completed the Fall 2006 Offering to provide additional working capital, we currently estimate that net proceeds currently available from such offering will provide additional capital only until June 2007. We will be required to raise substantial additional capital to sustain our expanded operations following the acquisition of the BioLargo technology, including without limitation, hiring additional personnel, additional scientific and third-party testing, costs associated with obtaining regulatory approvals and filing additional patent applications to protect our intellectual property, as well as to meet our liabilities as they become due for the next 12 months, including the Fall 2006 Notes when they mature in 2008, unless we convert the Fall 2006 Notes, which we may do at our option, into shares of the Company’s common stock.

Accordingly, we are actively pursuing numerous alternatives for our current and longer-term financial requirements, including additional raises of capital from investors in the form of convertible debt or equity. Negotiations are underway with various sources of such capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any additional capital. It is also unlikely that we will be able to qualify for bank debt until such time as our operations are considerably more advanced and we are able to demonstrate the financial strength to provide confidence for a lender, which we do not currently believe is likely to occur for at least the next 12 months.

Significant Debt Obligations

Significant debt obligations at March 31, 2007 included:

(i) $420,000 due to the Augustine Fund, together with accrued but unpaid interest in the amount of $297,138, described in more detail below and which, as described above, was subsequently converted into 2,031,553 shares of our common stock in April 2007 based on the total amount due and owing on the conversion date;

(ii) a $900,000 note payable which was purchased in March 2003 by New Millennium, an entity owned and controlled by the Company’s president, Dennis Calvert, and certain members of his family, together with accrued but unpaid interest in the amount of $380,658, described in more detail below and which principal amount, as described above, was subsequently converted into 1,636,364 shares of our common stock, with the accrued but unpaid interest thereon remaining outstanding;

(iii) convertible promissory notes to various investors pursuant to the Fall 2006 offering, in the aggregate principle amount of $808,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest in the aggregate amount of $27,817.

Table of Contents

(iv) $25,000 remaining principal amount of a promissory note, together with accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of $3,237, relating to professional fees; and

(v) approximately $21,151 outstanding remaining on a settlement agreement with former convertible debenture holders, which amount remains outstanding.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, there was $698,864 of accrued interest recorded related to these obligations, $521,240 of which amount was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.

Augustine Fund Note

On June 10, 2003 the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with the Augustine Fund, pursuant to which the Augustine Fund agreed to lend the Company $420,000, payable in installments of $250,000, $100,000, and $70,000 (the “Augustine Loan”). The proceeds of the Augustine Loan were used by the Company for working capital.

Principal and interest, at an annual rate of 10%, of the Augustine Loan, was originally due on February 29, 2004. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains certain requirements that the Company make mandatory prepayments of the Augustine Loan from the proceeds of any asset sales outside of the ordinary course of business, and, on a quarterly basis, from positive cash flow. In addition, all or any portion of the Augustine Loan may be prepaid by the Company may prepay all or any portion of the Augustine Loan at any time without premium or penalty.

As additional consideration for making the Augustine Loan, the Augustine Fund received five-year warrants to purchase up to 246,336 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, as both amounts are adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. The Company could require that the warrants be exercised if certain conditions were satisfied. Since these conditions were not fully satisfied by the maturity date, the Loan Agreement provides that the Augustine Fund may, at any time following the maturity date and so long as the warrants remain exercisable, elect to exercise all or any portion of the warrants pursuant to a “cashless exercise”, whereby the Augustine Fund would be issued the net amount of shares of our common stock, taking into consideration the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the fair market value of our common stock at the time of exercise, without having to pay anything to the Company for such exercise.

As security for the Augustine Loan, New Millennium pledged 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split, owned by New Millennium, and, in addition, the Company has granted the Augustine Fund a security interest in its 51% membership ownership interest in our now inactive wholly-owned subsidiary, NuWay Sports, LLC.

Prior to the original maturity date of the Augustine Loan, the Company spoke with representatives of the Augustine Fund and advised them that the Company was unable to pay the amount due under the Augustine Loan by the February 29, 2004 maturity date. On March 30, 2004, the Augustine Fund agreed to extend the maturity date of the Loan Agreement to August 2004. In addition to the extension of the maturity date, the Augustine Fund was given the option of having the Augustine Loan satisfied in cash or by the conversion of any remaining principal balance and any accrued interest on the Augustine Loan to shares of the Company’s common stock at a 15% discount to market, so long as Augustine Fund’s holdings do not exceed 4.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at any time. In addition, the warrants held by the Augustine Fund to purchase 246,336 shares of the Company’s common stock were re-priced to an exercise price of $0.875 per share, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. Exercise of the warrants is also subject to the limit that the Augustine Fund does not hold more than 4.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. On March 7, 2005, the Company and the Augustine Fund agreed to extend the maturity date of the Augustine Loan to May 2006, in exchange for the issuance of a warrant that gives the Augustine Fund the right to purchase 320,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.125 per share for a period of five years, as both amounts are adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. On July 29, 2005, the Company and the Augustine Fund finalized the terms of this amendment to the Augustine Loan and executed formal documentation, in which the parties agreed to further extend the maturity date to May 2006.

On October 18, 2006, the Company and Augustine Fund agreed to extend the maturity date of the Augustine Loan to May 1, 2007. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2007, the principal amount of the loan, together with approximately $294,042 in accrued but unpaid interest, had not been repaid.

On April 11, 2007, the Augustine Fund converted an aggregate $717,138 of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Augustine Note into 2,031,553 shares of our common stock. The Augustine Note had a maturity date of May 1, 2007. The Augustine Note provided for a conversion price equal to the last bid price of the five trading days preceding the date of conversion, or $0.353 per share. The Augustine Note and the loan agreement in respect of the Augustine Note limited the Augustine Fund to hold not more than 4.9% of our issued and outstanding common stock at any given time. In connection with the conversion of the Augustine Note, we waived this limitation.

Obligation to New Millennium

In March 2003, New Millennium purchased from a third party (i) a $1,120,000 promissory note assumed by the Company pursuant to a licensing transaction in October 2002, and (ii) 167,285 shares of the Company’s common stock, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. In exchange, New Millennium issued a $1,120,000 promissory note to the third party, secured by the 167,285 shares of the Company’s common stock, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.

On April 28, 2006, the Company and New Millennium agreed to amend the terms of the $1,120,000 promissory note to (i) extend the due date to January 15, 2008; (ii) waive any payments of interest until it becomes due; (iii) reduce the principal amount from $1,120,000 to $900,000, equal to a 19.6% reduction; and (iv) correspondingly reduce the accrued but unpaid interest due under the terms of the note from $317,956 to $255,636, also equal to a 19.6% reduction.

As of March 31, 2007, the principal amount of the note, together with $377,408 in accrued but unpaid interest, had not been repaid. On April 13, 2007, New Millennium converted the $900,000 principal amount of the New Millennium Note into 1,636,364 shares of our common stock. The New Millennium Note had a maturity date of January 15, 2008. The New Millennium Note was converted at a price of $0.55 per share, which was the last bid price on the date of conversion. New Millennium is controlled by Dennis Calvert, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Accrued but unpaid interest in the amount of $380,658 as of the conversion date of April 13, 2007 remains outstanding on the New Millennium Note, which amount is not due to be paid until January 15, 2008. No additional interest will be accrued on this obligation.

Obligation to Dennis Calvert

On March 15, 2007, the board of directors and Mr. Calvert agreed to convert unpaid accrued compensation due Mr. Calvert for periods prior to January 1, 2007, in the amount of $337,796, into 900,790 shares of common stock at a price of $0.375 per share, which was the closing bid price on the date of conversion. Since January 1, 2007, Mr. Calvert has been paid his monthly salary per his employment agreement.

Obligation to Dr. Seay

In February 2005, the Company amended its obligations to Dr. James Seay under its promissory note dated November 20, 2003 in the principal amount of $50,000 and which matured on February 18, 2004. On the maturity date of the note, the Company was obligated to pay Dr. Seay $65,000. The Company paid Dr. Seay $30,000 and the balance of $35,000 remained outstanding. The amendment to the note entered into on February 10, 2005, (i) extends the maturity date of the note to February 3, 2006, (ii) provides for interest to accrue at a rate of 10% per annum (15% upon default), and (iii) allows for the conversion of the note into 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or $.012 per share, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. In February 2006, this note was further extended to the sooner of June 30, 2006, or the date the Company’s stockholders approve an amended to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock. This was approved on March 15, 2007 and, accordingly, on March 29, 2007, the Company converted the principal amount of the note, plus accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of $6,588, into 332,704 shares of common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of intangible assets and investments, and share-based payments. We base our estimates on anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results that differ from our estimates could have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial position. We believe that the following significant accounting policies and assumptions may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others.

The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results of the Company reports in its financial statements.

We anticipate that any generated revenue will principally be derived from royalties and license fees from our intellectual property. Licensees typically pay a license fee in one or more installments and ongoing royalties based on their sales of products incorporating or using our licensed intellectual property. License fees are recognized over the estimated period of future benefit to the average licensee.

The Company has established a policy relative to the methodology to determine the value assigned to each intangible acquired with or licensed by the Company and/or services or products received for non-cash consideration of the Company’s common stock. The value is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock issued as consideration, at the date of the agreement of each transaction or when the service is rendered or product is received, as adjusted for applicable discounts.

It the Company’s policy to expense share based payments as of the date of grant in accordance with Financial Accounting Statements Board Statement number 123R “Share-Based Payment.” Application of this pronouncement requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior. Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking expectations projected over the expected term of the award. As a result, the actual impact of adoption on future earnings could differ significantly from our current estimate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” criterion shall be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Upon adoption, the financial statements will be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Any adjustment will be recorded directly to our beginning retained earnings balance in the period of adoption and reported as a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 48 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective beginning in October 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

Table of Contents

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin no. 108 (“SAB 108”) to clarify consideration of the effects of prior year errors when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for the purpose of quantifying materiality. SAB 108 requires issuers to quantify misstatements using both the “rollover” and “iron curtain” approaches and requires an adjustment to the current year financial statements in the event that after the application of either approach and consideration of all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors, a misstatement is determined to be material. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including its Emerging Issued Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3. Controls and Pr ocedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management evaluated, with the participation of Dennis Calvert, who serves as both our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting: There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregis tered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In September 2006, the Company commenced a private offering that terminated in April 2007 (the “Fall 2006 Offering”). In the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company sold an aggregate $324,000 principal amount of its promissory notes (the “Fall 2006 Notes”) due and payable September 13, 2008 to 16 investors. From April 1, 2007 through April 25, 2007, the Company sold an aggregate $192,000 principal amount of Fall 2006 Notes to six investors. Each Fall 2006 Offering Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, such interest to be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or stock at an initial conversion rate of $0.6875 per share.

Purchasers of the Fall 2006 Notes received, for no additional consideration, a stock purchase warrant (the “Fall 2006 Warrant”) entitling the holder to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Fall 2006 Note is convertible. The Fall 2006 Warrant is exercisable at an initial price of $1.25 per share, and will expire on September 13, 2009.

On March 15, 2007, the board of directors and Mr. Calvert agreed to convert unpaid accrued compensation due Mr. Calvert for periods prior to January 1, 2007, in the amount of $337,796, into 900,790 shares of common stock at a price of $0.375 per share, which was the closing bid price on the date of conversion.

On March 21, 2007 we converted an aggregate principal amount of $1,953,120 and aggregate accrued but unpaid interest in the amount of $282,156, in respect of convertible notes held by 92 investors. These notes had various maturity dates and provided for various conversion prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.625 per share and were converted into an aggregate 6,985,441 shares of our common stock. We also converted an aggregate $608,759 of accrued payables to five of our current or former officers and directors into an aggregate 1,623,359 shares of our common stock. These conversions were effected at $0.375 per share, the closing price of a share of our common stock on the March 15, 2007 conversion date.

We also converted an aggregate $740,296 of accrued payables to 18 of our current or former consultants into an aggregate 1,803,615 shares of our common stock. These conversions were effected at various prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.625 per share.

All of these offerings and sales were made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Exchange Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as not involving a public offering of securities.

In connection with this name change, the Company has obtained a new trading symbol. The Company’s stock continues to trade through the National Quotation Service Bureau, commonly known as the “Pink Sheets”, under its new trading symbol “BLGO” effective March 21, 2007.

Also on March 15, 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved, and effective as of the close of business on March 19, 2007, the Company completed, the Reverse Split of its common stock.

Following such action, the Company converted an aggregate $2,235,276 of principal and accrued but unpaid interest of convertible notes held by 92 investors.

These conversions were effected at $0.375 per share, the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the March 15, 2007 conversion date, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.

The Company also converted an aggregate $740,296 of accrued payables to 18 of its current or former consultants into an aggregate 1,803,615 shares of the Company’s common stock, as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.
