MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Background Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1986, under the name Ventra Management, Inc. On July 20, 1994, we amended our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Description of Business The Company continues to focus on the research and development of plant based dietary supplements. In July 1999, the Company acquired exclusive rights and interests to a thirteen-step process, which utilizes virtually all of the nutrients found in plants to manufacture natural herbal dietary supplements. The purchase price for the thirteen step process was 12,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares were issued on February 13, 2001. Further, the Company is required to issue an additional 6,000,000 shares of common stock when marketing of the product commences. The Company intends to use this process to manufacture products that it hopes to distribute worldwide through various sales distribution contracts. On February 28, 2000, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Dr. Bielory to purchase his various allergy and nasal formulations. This agreement was approved by the Board of Directors on September 6, 2000. Dr. Bielory was granted a five year option to purchase an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $180.00. Dr. Bielroy exercised an option for 12,000,000 shares in the first quarter of 2001. Sinusol, being the formulation purchased from Dr. Bielory, is a generalized base solution for the development of an extensive line of specialty products related to allergy and sinus conditions. The ingredients include a mixture of gently pH-balanced essential mineral oils that combat the various symptoms related to allergies and sinus disorders, including congestions, irritated nasal mucosa and bacterial and fungal infections. Specialized advanced formulations are being reviewed for patent submission. In addition to Sinusol, the Company is also currently marketing its Lo-Chol product. Lo-Chol's formula is derived from the "whole plant" parts of six selected plants that work in concert to help tip your lipid balance (good and bad cholesterol) towards a more normal level. These six plants are synergistically combined using a proprietary "whole plant technology" (a special pharmaceutical-grade process) that delivers virtually all the natural phyto-chemicals and active ingredients in the plants. Unlike almost all other herbal supplements on the market, Lo-Chol does not contain any extracts. Instead, it utilizes the entire part of a specific plant that is processed and standardized to deliver optimum potency and nutritional benefits. Recent Developments In January 2004, the Company acquired a 44% interest in Amazing Nutritionals, Inc., a development stage company, whereby APPI sold Amazing all of the rights, title, patents, trademarks, processes and related items of LHM123 which is a natural composition for the treatment of senile dementias in consideration for 3,300,000 shares of Amazing's common stock. In December 2004, the Company acquired a 99% interest in Mazal Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a development stage company, whereby APPI sold Mazal all of its rights relating to or connected with developing, manufacturing and distributing of three of its products, plant based compositions designed to treat elevated cholesterol, leukemia and Alzheimer's disease in consideration for 7,000,000 shares of Mazal's common stock and an amount due from Mazal of $50,000. Results of Operations Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004. Revenues Revenues generated during the three months ended March 31, 2005, aggregated $2,130, as compared to $17,158 for the three months ended Mach 31, 2004. The decrease of $15,028 in revenues from the comparable period in the prior year is primarily due to the termination of Ed McMahon as spokesperson. We believe the trend in decreased revenues will not continue if we are able to engage a new spokesperson for our products. 8 Costs of Goods Sold Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended March 31, 2005 aggregated $1,122 as compared to $19,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2005 is the result of a decrease in sales of our products. Operating Expenses Operating Expenses incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2005, aggregated $303,531 as compared to $2,690,728 for three months ended March 31, 2004, which is a decrease of $2,387,197. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the issuance of stock for services which was off set by an increase in cost of good sold, selling general and administrative expenses and an impairment loss. We expect the decrease in our cost and expenses to continue as we expect to be able to continue to curtail the issuance of stock for services. Net Loss and Loss Per Common Share The net loss and the loss per common share was $302,523 and $.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to net loss of $2,693,275 and $.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the issuance of stock for services. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2005, we had working capital deficit of $3,463,834 as compared with $3,288,393 at December 31, 2004. The increase in the working capital deficit is primarily the result of an increase in accrued expenses. We have historically sustained our operations and funded our capital requirements with the funds received from the sale of our products, loans received from related parties and the sale of our securities. We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and the downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations again. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. The Company considers its critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of the Company's financial statements, including the following: valuation of inventories and intangible assets, valuation of stock options and warrants, and valuation of all accrued liabilities including payroll taxes and other contingent liabilities. Management relies on historical experience and on other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and principal financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. There was no change in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 9 PART II ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that it considers to be a part of the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not involved currently in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations except as set forth below. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future. ITEM 2 - CHANGES IN SECURITIES In connection with a private placement, on January 24, 2005 the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.002 per share realizing $20,000. On February 1, 2005, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its preferred stock at $0.008 per share as payment of $20,000 against loans payable - stockholders and accrued expenses - stockholders. On March 5, 2005, Amazing, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement of Sale with Nature's Backyard, Inc., whereby Amazing agreed to buy all intellectual property, permits, patents (granted, pending, or applied for), trademarks, processes, formulation, exact ingredients, precise way of manufacturing, and related items of the "Slim Cookie", a product for weight loss and lowering cholesterol. The purchase price is as follows: (a) Payment of $1,000 and the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock on signing the agreement, (b) 300,000 shares of common stock upon signing and filing of a provisional patent application by the Company, (c) 100,000 shares of common stock upon the issuance of a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, (d) payment of $4,000 not more than 60 days from the execution of the Agreement, and (e) payment of $15,000 within 270 days of the execution of the Agreement.
