Item 1. Business.

 

Company Overview

 

Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company", “ZGSI” or the "Registrant"), a Nevada corporation, is a biotechnology company focused on commercializing technology derived from, and designed for, space with significant applications on Earth. These technologies seek to improve world agriculture by providing valuable solutions to challenges facing humanity, including threats to world agriculture and the ability to feed the world’s rapidly growing population. The Company’s business model is currently focused on its two primary business segments: 1) BAM-FX, which is a cost effective, ionic nutrient delivery system for plants that can deliver minerals and micronutrients systemically at the cellular level of a plant, and 2) Directed Selection, which relates to the production and alteration of new varieties of novel stem cells with unique and beneficial characteristics in the prolonged zero/micro gravity environment of the International Space Station. These can be patented for commercial sale to third parties in the agricultural and human regenerative medical markets. ZGSI is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.

 

The Company is focused on implementing a near-term revenue generation plan through the introduction of the Company’s first commercial product, BAM-FX, to the world’s agricultural markets. BAM-FX is an ionic nutrient delivery system for agriculture. The Company conducted field trials on a variety of crops in laboratory and academic settings as well as in field applications on grower/end-user crops. These trials showed exceedingly positive results, resulting in a significant increase in yield, quality and nutritional value in a variety of crops. The Company is beginning the commercial roll out plan for BAM-FX into the world’s agricultural markets.

 

The Company’s mid-to-longer term objectives relate to the commercialization of ZGSI’s space derived Directed Selection technology, which predicts that plant and animal stem cells exposed to prolonged microgravity in space can be endowed with new characteristics beneficial to society. In conjunction with our collaborators, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) and the University of Florida, over the past six years, we have conducted scientific studies on six NASA sponsored flights to the International Space Station (“ISS”). These experiments have demonstrated that the gene expression of plant cells in zero/microgravity changes substantially, and furthermore, provided us with strong evidence that these changes can be directed toward beneficial attributes.

 

Our Directed Selection research aims to produce new varieties of proprietary, patentable stem cells for plants with desirable traits, such as the ability to better survive environmental challenges (i.e . temperature or climate change) or to resist disease. Adaptive changes in the plant will be accomplished without the need for additive or subtractive genetic engineering, thus eliminating public concerns about genetically modified organisms (“GMO”). The plant still uses the capabilities that are a natural part of its genetic potential, through altered gene expression that enables adaptation toward valuable traits. Another important aspect of our space derived IP capitalizes on space flight experiments showing the unique effects of zero/microgravity on mammalian cells. Space-based technology imparts the likely ability to reproduce undifferentiated multipotent human stem cells in substantially larger quantities and more rapidly than is possible on Earth. Long term goals include revolutionary advancements in stem cell differentiation, cellular macrostructure assembly, vascularization, and wound healing. Because both humans and animals use very similar metabolic pathways, we also expect to produce patented stem cells that can provide beneficial treatments to commercial livestock. We believe that this area may lead to significant business opportunities for the Company.

 

We believe the Company’s proprietary technologies enables the development of a diverse product line with unique solutions to big problems, representing significant potential revenue and profit opportunities. Due to the market scope and associated regulatory needs to reach full profit potential, ZGSI’s strategy is to partner and license with industry-leading companies to supplement necessary resources and expedite revenue generation.

Corporate History and Structure

 

The Company engaged in various business activities and enacted a series of name changes from 2003 to 2013 until we adopted our current name and business plan of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. on January 11, 2013.

 

The Company’s Prior History and Timeline

 

Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. was initially incorporated in the State of Idaho as Hazelwood-Gable, Inc. on August 19, 1983 to engage in the business of developing mineral resources. The Company engaged in limited operations until 2003. On June 19, 2002, the Company changed its corporate domicile to the State of Nevada and, on November 25, 2003, changed its name to American Thorium, Inc. On December 10, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain mining claims and changed its name to Thorium Nuclear Energy, Inc. on March 5, 2004. On March 8, 2006, the Company changed its name to Hazelwood Ventures, Inc. and began looking for new business ventures. On June 14, 2006, the Company changed its name to Monarch Molybdenum & Resources, Inc. and on November 27, 2007 entered into a merger agreement, whereby it was to acquire certain mining claims from Thorium Energy, Inc. and changed the Company's name to Thorium Energy, Inc. The merger agreement was rescinded on March 19, 2008 and the Company changed its name to Monolith Ventures Inc. on April 2, 2008 and with the intent to acquire or merge with one or more businesses. On December 30, 2011, the Company acquired ElectroHealing Holdings, Inc., which held certain patents, patent applications and other technologies and/or licenses pertaining to medical device technology and changed its name to ElectroHealing Technologies, Inc. on January 12, 2012. Subsequent to the transaction, management re-evaluated the merits and benefits of the ElectroHealing Holdings, Inc. acquisition and began to explore possible alternatives. Accordingly, we executed a rescission agreement on December 20, 2012 that returned the previously acquired patents and technologies in exchange for the cancellation of the shares of our common stock previously issued in the acquisition.

 

Formation of ZGSI and the Company’s Current Structure

 

On December 3, 2012, we entered into a Patent Acquisition Agreement with John W. Kennedy, whereby we acquired certain patents and technologies related to the Company’s current Directed Selection business segment. In connection with the acquisition of this technology, we changed our name to Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. on January 11, 2013 to better reflect our new business endeavors and issued 11,500,000 shares of our authorized, but previously outstanding common stock. In connection with this acquisition, we moved our corporate headquarters from Salt Lake City Utah to its current location at 190 NW Spanish River Boulevard, Suite 101, Boca Raton, FL 33431.

 

On July 30, 2013, John W. Kennedy assigned to the Company the entire right, title and interest in, to and under the invention and provisional patent application for Bioavailable Minerals for Plant Health, which became the basis for the Company’s BAM-FX business segment.

 

The Company currently has three wholly owned subsidiaries: BAM Agricultural Solutions, Inc., (“BAM Inc.”), Zero Gravity Life Sciences, Inc. (“ZGLS”), Zero Gravity Solutions, Ltd. (“ZGS UK”). BAM Inc. is a Florida Corporation which holds and controls the manufacturing, sales and revenue generation of the Company's agricultural product, BAM-FX. ZGLS is a Florida Corporation which holds and controls the Company’s Directed Selection business segment and the related research and development work. ZGS UK is a private United Kingdom limited company based in the United Kingdom created to service the Company's operations and interests in the European Union (EU) and other international markets.

 

The Company currently has 17 employees, of which 13 are full time employees. The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.

Principal Product Lines

 

BAM-FX

 

BAM-FX is an ionic nutrient delivery system for food crops. BAM-FX was originally developed by our John Wayne Kennedy, our Chief Science Officer and Director, for growing food crops in space vehicles designed for deep space human missions, but has been found to have potentially far reaching applications for agriculture here on Earth. The BAM-FX formulation is a composition for treating plant mineral deficiencies by providing a delivery system to move mineral ions to the mineral deficient areas in plants. The benefits of BAM-FX are accomplished without the use of genetic modification or traditional fertilizers, soil amendments or supplements. Instead, the BAM-FX formula transports highly bio-available, balanced, ionic minerals systemically into the biological system of a plant using a mineral complex carrier in an ionic form, which penetrates and distributes nutrients throughout the plant's cellular structure. BAM-FX delivers a diversity of nutrients, in measurably larger quantities than can be achieved through standard and traditional methods, and it is capable of substantially cutting costs with its versatile application possibilities and its replacement of multiple products. The BAM-FX formula can be applied either through the soaking of seeds or direct application at time of planting and foliar treatment of the plant at later stages of development. Further, the benefits to crops are accomplished without the use of additive or subtractive genetic modification techniques and therefore, crops treated with BAM-FX are not categorized as GMOs.

 

As noted in the “BAM-FX Trials” section below, in tests with commercial farmers, BAM-FX treated plants have shown higher yields, increased plant resistance to harmful environmental factors and higher quality fruit and vegetables. Trials have shown that applications of BAM-FX to various crops reduces the necessity for multiple applications of other products, which we believe will save agriculture a considerable amount of time and money while creating faster growing, healthier, more robust plants. Additionally, we believe BAM-FX may provide significant value for farmers, growers, and world agriculture through:

 

· Faster time to maturity and harvest, with higher farm yields for food crops;
· Systemic delivery of targeted nutrients and minerals to crops to create more robust plants and more nutritious crops;
· Ability to increase the nutritional quality of grains and produce, including the potential to engineer nutrition into our food (e.g. bio-fortifying lettuce and grapes with zinc, potassium and calcium); and
· A reduction of ecologic and other concerns associated with agricultural runoff pollution into water sources; as large amounts of phosphates or nitrates are not used.

 

Food crops offer the best source of nutrition for humans, since many supporting nutrients require organic carriers and are not normally absorbed by using vitamin and mineral supplements alone. As BAM-FX can be applied to any plant, we anticipate a substantial demand for manufacture and distribution of BAM-FX to support improved crop health and nutrition.

 

BAM-FX Trials

 

In 2014, BAM-FX product development and commercialization activities spanned a wide range of studies, in terms of crop plants, test parameters, geographic region, and potential customer base. Early product testing used controlled conditions of indoor facilities to look at BAM-FX impact on seed germination, early seedling growth, and impact to young plants (ZGSI R&D). Later testing progressed to small-scale outdoor test plots, conducted both internally (ZGSI R&D) and in the hands of commercial field application specialists, farm managers and candidate early adopter customers. In total, BAM-FX product testing to date has found that the product provides significant benefits to plant growth and yield, such as rooting activity, plant biomass, maturation time, BRIX (sugar content), and – most importantly – overall crop yield and improved nutrient access by the plant, as demonstrated by the ability to reduce fertilizer application.

 

Through this body of work, product application parameters have been established sufficiently to engage with candidate early adopter customers, Master Distributors, and key opinion leaders in academia for on-site product evaluation. Essential knowledge gained for a variety of economically important crops includes the following: acceptable BAM-FX concentration ranges and delivery rates, treatment methods, successful integration with a variety of commercial farming practices (e.g. soil application in furrow, drip irrigation, foliar spray, helicopter spray), and a series of evaluation criteria for demonstration of product success. Preliminary internal testing was validated by small-scale field trials using test plots, which found faster plant establishment (increased root growth, stronger plant crowns, greater leaf growth), faster crop maturation, and overall greater yields. BAM-FX also showed the potential to support a reduction in fertilizer application rates, as evidenced by early internal research and later results from two field trials.

Internal Studies

 

Seed Germination Studies

 

A series of experiments tested the impact of BAM-FX on seed germination under normal conditions and under conditions of abiotic (heat) stress. A variety of seeds were soaked in diluted BAM-FX for up to thirty minutes, and then seeds were allowed to germinate in a moist environment. For bush bean, squash, tomato, cantaloupe, and wheat seeds soaked with BAM-FX showed a thicker radicle (early root), greater root hair development and/or greater root branching after 7 - 13 days of growth. Under optimal growing conditions, germination rates for seeds treated with BAM-FX were comparable to or better than control (above, lettuce and sweet corn). Under non-optimal conditions of abiotic stress (overly warm temperatures for a cool season crop) lettuce showed improved germination and viability after a one-time soak with BAM-FX. For seed soaking methods, a maximum of 1 oz/gal dilution rate of BAM-FX was determined to be the upper limit, with higher doses leading to deleterious effects.

 

These studies established the fundamental effects of BAM-FX on seed germination, radicle emergence, and early root activity in very young seedlings. The utility of BAM-FX for supporting plant growth warranted further testing, since seed germination and the growth of young seedlings are an extremely vulnerable period of agricultural crop growth. For later yield production, it is vital to support development of robust plant seedlings, even under non-ideal climatic conditions, with abundant root stock and good plant vigor.

 

Fertilizer Reduction Testing

 

The ability of BAM-FX to support plant growth with decreased fertilizer application was tested under controlled conditions using corn and sunflower seeds in coir plugs. Study results were consistent with improved plant nutrient status for BAM-FX-treated seedlings. Seeds treated with BAM-FX developed significantly greater roots and root hairs (capillary roots), compared to fertilizer or water-only controls. In comparison, seedlings receiving fertilizer developed a less aggressive root structure, possibly creating a dependency on the continuous addition of nutrients. Also, BAM-FX seedling growth phenology suggested a shift toward greater root production before vegetative growth of leaves commenced, followed by more vigorous leaf growth. Emergence of seedlings from soil had some evidence of delay, however resulting seedlings had greater leaf surface area compared to height for BAM-FX group, compared to “leggier” control plants receiving NPK fertilizer or water only. Follow-up testing examined a range of fertilizer rates in combination with BAM-FX. Optimal BAM-FX concentrations for use appeared to be 0.5 or 1 oz/gal for this study. The most favorable results occurred for BAM-FX with reduced fertilizer at 75% or 50% rate. Plants receiving BAM-FX with full fertilizer rate tended toward less leaf width and overly tall, weaker plants, suggesting overly abundant nutrients for the optimal plant growth habit. The greatest boost in plant growth occurred over the first two weeks after BAM-FX treatment.

 

In addition to confirming earlier root production results, this set of studies provided the first indication that BAM-FX had the potential to support optimal plant growth with reduced fertilizer application.

 

Potato Plant Development Testing

 

Potato testing was conducted to assess the effects of BAM-FX on the development and maturation of a root crop. Potato plants that received BAM-FX had earlier sprout emergence and greater vegetative growth, as measured by leaf and stem biomass, compared to control. The greatest improvement in vegetative growth occurred for the group that received BAM-FX as both a soil drench and a foliar spray. In this test, BAM-FX was found to accelerate plant development of a starchy root crop, and further testing was warranted to pursue treatment options in the field to avoid phytotoxicity and to capture yield data. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1 : After allowing a 2-month period of vegetative growth, potato plants were removed from soil, photographed, and stems/leaves retained for a fresh-weight biomass measurement. LEFT: Potato plants that received BAM-FX had higher biomass for stems and leaves. A double treatment of BAM-FX – soil drench at planting followed by post-emergence foliar spray – was most effective at producing biomass. RIGHT: Under the soil, plants that received BAM-FX showed greater stolen growth and early tuber initiation. Control plants had minimal to no stolon’s visible, and tuber initiation had not occurred.

 

Plant Application Limits (Phytotoxicity) Studies

 

A series of tests were conducted to identify a workable concentration range and feasible application methods or limitations for BAM-FX usage. Tender, young seedlings of multiple plant types were evaluated for the ability to tolerate a range of concentrations, treatment amounts, and application methods of BAM-FX. The test was designed to push the product to failure points, in order to identify a safe range for usage without phytotoxicity or other deleterious effects.

 

In this test, BAM-FX application was found to be safe for use at a working concentration of 0.5 oz/gal, delivered as a soil drench, fine mist or heavy foliar spray, and 1.0 oz/gal was safe, as long as contact with plant tissues was avoided. Due to this testing, BAM-FX application in future field tests focused on a maximum working concentration of 0.5 oz/gal for foliar sprays (including drip or spray irrigation) and 1 oz/gal for an initial soil drench or in-furrow treatment at time of planting. Additional testing found that product concentrations should be dramatically reduced for continuous or prolonged exposure to BAM-FX, as in the cases of hydroponics, aquaponics or other pure-systems.

 

Early Seedling Starts Tests

 

Starting seedlings from seed represents a substantial potential customer base for BAM-FX, which would benefit from positive impacts on seed germination, root development, and vegetative growth to generate vigorous seedlings. BAM-FX was evaluated for the ability to impact germination, growth or biomass of tomato, broccoli and pepper in a variety of soil types, including commercially available garden soil, potting mix, and potting mix with Miracle Gro.

 

For all three soil types, BAM-FX-treated broccoli sprouts were the first to emerge. Broccoli showed the clearest advantage with BAM-FX, including failure to germinate without BAM-FX in two of the tested soil types. The largest tomato and pepper seedlings were observed in the BAM-FX-treated groups for two potting mixes, and pepper seedlings had significantly greater biomass with BAM-FX in an organic garden soil. Although not all soil and plant combinations showed statistically significant differences, this test showed that BAM-FX could have a surprising impact on the germination and growth of young seedlings. Further work was warranted to explore the full life-cycle effect on plants receiving BAM-FX, as well as to gauge commercial seedling company interest in BAM-FX testing.

Produce & Greens in Small Test Plots (Illinois, Iowa, California, Florida, Utah)

 

A series of outdoor studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of BAM-FX on growth of a variety of agricultural crop plants using various controlled-access test sites (California, Florida, Illinois). Produce crops, including lettuce, tomato, pepper, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and blue kale, as well as one herb crop, basil, were evaluated for the impact of BAM-FX on growth habit, survival, biomass and other visible traits. BAM-FX was delivered as a soil drench and/or foliar spray, and one test site included a comparison with Miracle Gro as a competing control. In general, prior BAM-FX results from laboratory conditions were borne out in these full-season test plots. This series of internally directed test plot studies served a critical need to follow plant growth over a full season following BAM-FX treatment. The work verified safe treatment concentrations for BAM-FX usage on several produce crops and validated results for increased plant productivity in response to BAM-FX.

 

Commercial / External Studies

 

Raspberry Field Trials

 

Two raspberry studies were conducted at commercial grower sites to determine application rates and to assess the impact of BAM-FX on raspberry plants during early season vegetative growth stage and during blooming and fruit production. Studies were conducted at commercial sites, and BAM-FX was integrated into the commercial product application regimens (e.g. by drip irrigation). Farm management noted that raspberry plant growth was visibly increased after BAM-FX foliar spray, as evidenced by greater early season row closure, compared to control using standard farm practices. Later season yield increases at this test site showed a cumulative yield increase for the season of ~150 crates/acre with a significant estimated ROI for the grower. A second test site found an estimated 16.9% yield increase in Total Marketable Fruits for BAM-FX vs control, or 9.9% for adding BAM-FX to their standard program. BRIX levels, a measure of sugar content, also exceeded 10.00 on average for the BAM-FX fruit on 7 pick days; control fruit BRIX score average remained below 10.

 

Overall, the raspberry field trials validated BAM-FX usage for yield improvements and also found an effect on BRIX levels. Product usage rates also were confirmed in this field test, including BAM-FX application integration into the standard practices at two commercial farms.

 

Commercial Strawberry Field Trials (California)

 

Two field trials were conducted at commercial grower sites to determine application rates and to assess the impact of BAM-FX on strawberry plants during early season vegetative growth stage and during blooming and fruit production. Particular attention was paid to rooting activity, since strawberry plants are transplanted bare root, and early establishment is important for not only productivity, but also for physically holding the small plants in the loose soil of these California sites.

 

The first field trial established safe application rates using spray and/or drip irrigation. Early testing showed signs of phytotoxicity due to over-treatment, however plants recovered with fresh vegetative growth and went on to fruit. The study was repeated with acceptable BAM-FX application rates, and positive results were achieved for plant establishment – root growth was increased, crown junctions between roots and stems/leaves were thicker, and plants generated more leaves, sooner with BAM-FX treatment. Strawberry plants receiving BAM-FX had increased early growth, with an average of 6 crowns/plant, compared to 4 crowns/plant for control (a 50% increase). The number of crowns leads directly to blooming and fruit production. BAM-FX product evaluation continues at these test sites, expanding to larger acre plots for the next season.

 

Spinach Field Trials

 

A field trial at a commercial spinach grower site was conducted to test the ability of BAM-FX to support increased crop yield with reduced fertilizer usage, while also verifying safe and effective application rates for BAM-FX. BAM-FX was applied at time of planting and as a series of foliar sprays. From the first week, spinach that received BAM-FX had longer, thicker roots, and larger leaves (see Figure 2). Biomass was increased, despite a reduction in fertilizer application for the BAM-FX test rows (ranged from 17-34% reduction, depending on fertilizer application/timing). The spinach field trial also aimed to test cadmium uptake in the plants for BAM-FX-treated vs control groups, since the farm was located in a high-cadmium area (Monterey County, CA). Results were inconclusive, and further testing is required to determine any effect.

Figure 2 : Spinach growth improved with BAM-FX using reduced fertilizer, compared to 100% fertilizer control. Spinach receiving BAM-FX showed greater root growth and thickness, stronger leaf-root junction at crowns, and increased leaf production, despite reduced fertilizer application compared to control. For BAM-FX test rows, fertilizer rates were reduced as follows: 17% reduction for Pre-plant 3.5-12-14, 25% reduction for Transplant 9-9-3-1% S, 33% reduction for two CAN-17 applications. Control group received full (100%) standard fertilization.

 

The spinach trial identified BAM-FX benefits of treatment for an important, short-season crop that is planted repeatedly during the year. BAM-FX had a positive effect on plant biomass and crop yield, even with the reduction in fertilizer rates. BAM-FX ability to impact yield while allowing economic and environmental savings through fertilizer reduction – and presumably improved nutrient usage by the plants – is the subject of upcoming grant proposals for BAM-FX agricultural applications in the UK and US.

 

DIRECTED SELECTION

 

Directed Selection is a proprietary technological method designed to use the unique conditions of near-zero gravity in low earth orbit to create plants and animal cells that have beneficial traits that we believe would have value to society. This technology predicts that plant and animal stem cells exposed to prolonged microgravity in space can be endowed with new characteristics.

 

Life on Earth has always developed within the confines of gravity. About 50% of the energy expended by terrestrial-bound plants is dedicated to structural support in order to overcome gravity. By removing gravity from the equation, plant cells in a weightless environment have an excess of energy. This relatively benign environmental change causes the plant to engage its survival mechanisms, thereby enabling differential gene expression. The plant is able to adapt quickly to changing environments or disease causing organisms, stressors that we introduce artificially while the plant is in microgravity, thereby directing gene expression. This indicates that we can produce new varieties of plants, with required new attributes, faster than traditional methods.

 

We partnered with the University of Florida to conduct the initial experiments in order to validate the efficacy of this technology in space. Preliminary results showed that the Directed Selection technology was able to identify frost resistance capabilities in the Jatropha Curcas plant. This type of capability could allow cultivation in areas previously impossible.

 

The Company is using the Directed Selection platform technology to create more robust plant varieties adapted toward desirable characteristics. Our Directed Selection research aims to produce new varieties of proprietary, patentable stem cells for plants with desirable traits like the ability to better survive environmental challenges (i.e . temperature or climate change) or to resist disease. Adaptive changes in the plant will be accomplished without the need for additive or subtractive genetic engineering, thus eliminating public concerns about GMOs. The plant still uses the capabilities that are a natural part of its genetic potential, through altered gene expression that enables adaptation toward valuable traits.

A key part of our ongoing operations is the expansion of these patents to cover additional crops, animals and humans, and the specific methods and tools that are developed from our R&D. The Company possesses patents applications that contain claims covering biological processes in microgravity, including the growth of cellular plant and animal tissues in orbit, the 3-dimensional growth of biologics on-orbit, the enhanced gene expression of biologics in extended microgravity, stem cell replication and related processes.

 

The second part of the Directed Selection technology pertains to the mass replication or propagation of stem cells in space, something that can be done on Earth but at much slower rates than in space. Although stem cells can be produced on Earth, current methods are inadequate to create large quantities of healthy cells in short periods of time. Our technology would allow for the increased production of healthy stem cells. Tests which occurred over six missions that we have taken to space have provided initial proof-of-concept that the Directed Selection technology allows stem cells to replicate en masse. We believe it will eventually allow us to produce large quantities of undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells in the same environment for commercial sale to third parties.

 

Directed Selection Research

 

A series of space microgravity experiments were executed by means of six Shuttle flights to the ISS spanning from 2007 through 2011, linked to and supported by the NASA Space Act Agreement of ZGSI founder, Mr. John Wayne Kennedy. Tests of chemical compounds, plant cells, and mammalian stem cells in microgravity were conducted in conjunction with the USDA, Agricultural Research Service Labs (Beltsville, MD) and the Tropical Research and Education Center (TREC), a division of the University of Florida. In less than a decade, completion of experiments in both of these research areas led to multiple peer-reviewed publications and commercially viable products that are currently in later stages of development .

 

Proof Of Concept Plant Research To Develop Jatropha Biofuel Strains.

 

The ZGSI space research program in-part focused on directed selection of traits in plants, using microgravity. Initial research focused on in vitro cell culture methods for plants of interest for biofuels or valuable ornamentals. The tropical and sub-tropical plant, Jatropha curcas (physic nut), produces an easily purified biodiesel or jet fuel, but Jatropha is intolerant of frost and subject to diseases like root rot, leaf spot, and rust. A Jatropha cultivar with a broader climate range, improved frost tolerance, and greater disease resistance, would be a valuable improvement to biofuel production. A parallel study of ornamentals tested an endangered orchid species, two types of tropical flowering tree, and a common plant model organism (Figure 3). Research encompassed a series of five flights, from 2007 through 2011, and was completed by Dr. Wagner Vendrame at TREC. Research support was provided by NASA, BioServe Space Technologies, The Vecellio Group, and Vecenergy Corporation.

Plant cells from test species were grown in microgravity aboard the ISS and returned to ground for follow-up testing. The series of experiments produced several important results. First, the research team discovered the means to produce and propagate plant stem cells using microgravity. Second, methods were developed to out-grow plants from microgravity stem cells. Plant cells in microgravity were able to form pro-embryonic masses, which would enable quick regeneration of clonal plant material, in order to grow new, whole plants. Plant cells also had increased growth, and cell cultures acquired a high stress tolerance in microgravity, based upon the ability to recover viable cells after long-term (290 days) culture under very limited nutrient conditions. As predicted, plant cells grown in microgravity acquired different growth characteristics and differential gene expression, compared to growth in normal gravity conditions. Currently, proprietary Jatropha strains are in keeping at TREC.

Mammalian Stem Cell Research In Space

 

Mammalian stem cell research offers an immeasurable promise for human health, through potential means of disease treatment or cure and for tissue or organ regeneration or repair. ZGSI scientists and collaborators recognized this valuable application of space research early on, in 2008, and used the STS-126 flight mission to attempt to grow porcine liver stem cells (PICM-19) in microgravity (1). The experiment verified that mammalian stem cells would propagate, differentiate, and even form biliary liver structures in microgravity. Cell viability was maintained and cell activity assays indicated that cells maintained hepatocyte detoxification function over the test period. An early stem cell experiment, the PICM-19 work was an essential first step toward using microgravity to mass-propagate human differentiated or undifferentiated stem cells, to accomplish a myriad of research goals.

 

Strategy for Growth

 

BAM Agricultural Solutions, Inc.

 

The Company’s subsidiary, BAM Inc., has been executing the commercial roll out plan for BAM-FX into the world’s agricultural markets. Following a year of initial product testing with several universities, end product users and laboratory work, the product has now been licensed and approved for sale in ten US states: Utah, Idaho, Iowa, Maryland, Delaware, Nevada, Arizona, Californian, Texas, and Florida. We expect to receive approval in Georgia in the near future as well. Additionally, the Company has focused on building a solid foundation, addressing regulatory and compliance issues while developing “BAM Field Teams” in targeted geographic areas. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Company has received initial commercial orders from end users (growers) and distributors, which have been manufactured, invoiced and shipped.

 

The Company is currently establishing a master dealer, distributor and manufacturer’s representative organization to support sales and service of its customers. The Company’s strategic growth plans include growing the Company organically through sales and a strong acquisition strategy. BAM-FX is initially focusing sales, marketing and distributor acquisition activities in those states where we have satisfied the regulatory requirements for sales and whose climate allows for year round agricultural production.

 

In addition to the Company’s domestic sales and marketing focus, the Company began the process for the commencement of initial testing of BAM-FX in Chile in December 2014. The Chilean market, along with other agricultural producing countries in the Southern Hemisphere, provide the Company with a 12-month sales cycle.

 

Additionally, we have identified several crops, based upon our testing, where BAM-FX has shown a significant increase in yield, quality and nutritional value. Such crops include strawberries, raspberries, alfalfa, spinach (leafy vegetables) and tomatoes, among others. We further track the amount of acreage dedicated to a specific crop in order to prioritize our marketing and sales efforts.

 

Zero Gravity Life Sciences, Inc.

 

ZGLS’s short to mid-term plans includes the utilization of NASA, European, Russian and Japanese space agencies relationships to focus research on BAM-FX as it relates to our space program applications, as well as to engage in research based upon the Company’s zero/micro gravity intellectual property leading toward the development and patenting of unique stem cells developed on the ISS. These patentable plant stem cell lines could lead to new global food cash crops such as rice that can grow in salt water or in drought conditions. ZGLS will also be heavily engaged in the human regenerative medical field developing cell growth types and capabilities not possible on the ground. This subsidiary will continue to use the physics of zero gravity, as exists on the ISS, to continue to perform research that is not possible on Earth. We believe this may lead to positive commercial outcomes.

 

ZGLS is also continuing ground-based research on a pipeline of additional derivative BAM-FX products utilizing other minerals and micronutrients other than our original Copper-Zinc compound. The Company intends to build a family of “BAM” related products for different crops, soil conditions and nutritional outcomes.

ZGS UK is actively involved in ongoing field and lab trials of BAM-FX with premier private and government research establishments. ZGS UK is also involved in engaging lead distributors for BAM-FX throughout the EU, the largest agriculture market in the world. ZGS UK is enhancing our dealings and relationships with the European and UK Space Agencies who are both actively increasing their budgets substantially for commercial space projects. Substantial funded R&D projects and the grants associated with them are actively being pursued and are in final stages of consideration. Our UK subsidiary is enabling our partnership with the Gates Foundation funded International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Africa for testing of BAM-FX.

 

Sales and Distribution Strategy

 

The Company is implementing sales, marketing and distribution strategies in the United States and in selected global markets that can ensure effective market penetration, sales and customer support through a network of selected, well qualified and highly respected Master Dealers (“MD”). Each MD will be considered “thought leaders” in the agricultural industry, have an existing customer base and have the capabilities and infrastructure to provide BAM-FX blending, packaging, distribution and customer support. Currently, MDs are operating through terms of individual purchase orders for product. Strategic determinations regarding the implementation of long-term agreements are currently being considered and negotiated. The following are the first two MDs with whom we have initiated our business relationships:

 

Nature Based Technologies, LLC

 

Nature Based Technologies LLC (“NBT”) is located in Atascadero, CA in the heart of California’s San Joaquin and Salinas Valley’s. NBT is dedicated to producing high quality products and custom blends of fertilizers and soil amendments for the agriculture industry.

 

NBT is owned and operated by Mr. Curtis Gill, a well-known name and thought leader in California’s agriculture industry. The Gills family founded Gills Onions in 1983 and is one of the nation’s largest, family-owned onion growers and operates one of the largest, fresh-cut onion processing plants in the world. Gills Onions, renowned for the highest quality fresh onion products in the market today, are found in everything from salsa to spaghetti sauce to fast food chains and are available nationally to consumers in the fresh produce section of their supermarkets.

 

BAM Inc. is working with NBT to establish its MD operations. NBT has conducted successful field trials on a variety of agricultural products and the results have demonstrated (i) increased crop yields (ii) shorter flowering times (iii) longer periods of sustained harvest / fruit production (iv) higher BRIX or sugar content in fruit (v) enhanced root growth and better stand establishment, and (vi) higher quality fruit resulting in less culls or Discards.

 

Following these successful field trials NBT has placed an initial $100,000 order of BAM-FX and is engaging in the sales of BAM-FX to its client base in California. Marketing and sales support is being provided BAM Inc. and a 2015 Strategic Plan is being co-developed between the two organizations for sales, marketing and customer support.

 

The Company expects sales will escalate appreciably during 2015 with market penetration in crops such as alfalfa, wine/table grapes, onions, strawberries, raspberries and leafy greens such as spinach.

 

AgriBioTech México, S.A. de C.V

 

AgriBioTech México (“ABT”) has been selected as a MD to service Mexico, Guatemala and Central America. ABT is a multi-generational Agriculture Services Company with its headquarters located in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico. ABT offers high quality seeds and specialized technical assistance to its agricultural customers. Among its seed offerings, ABT supplies alfalfa, corn/maize, sorghum, grasses and oats to its customers while also providing fertilizers and soil amendment products.

 

ABT has engaged in BAM-FX field trials of alfalfa, cantaloupes/melons, strawberries, cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes, garlic and asparagus with very positive and beneficial results. BAM Inc. has been working with ABT to provide collateral marketing materials and creating presentations for ABT customers. BAM Inc. recently developed a joint-marketing and presentation for ABT alfalfa growers scheduled for the Alfalfa and Forage Trade Show in December 2014 and will engage in a joint presentation for 12 of the largest sugarcane (and other crop) growers from Guatemala and Central America in January 2015.

 

12
 

  

The principals of ABT and BAM Inc. management are developing a 2015 strategic plan to outline promotional activities, sales and marketing, order volumes and delivery dates. The Company anticipates that ABT will place its first major order for BAM-FX in January 2015.

 

In addition to the establishment of MD with NBT and ABT, the Company is aggressively developing additional MD and sales opportunities in states where the Company has been approved for sales. During December 2014, the Company commenced the process of instituting field trials of BAM-FX in Chile and is in discussions with other organizations desiring to develop MD relationships in other, selected countries.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We have made protection of our intellectual property a strategic priority. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws to protect our proprietary rights.

  

Patents

 

We are the owners of several patents currently in the application process that form an important part of our immediate and future business plans.

 

We have a portfolio of patent applications that pertain to the second-generation bioavailable mineral compositions (“BAM-FX”). The BAM-FX composition is highly useful as a nutrient additive that enhances a plant’s immune system, may fortify against disease and promotes growth. The basis of which is the ability of the ionized ligand system to deliver selected minerals into a plant or other complex organism systemically at the cellular level. Our first field trials have utilized the primary ligand formulation of copper and zinc to deliver those molecules into several crops in both the laboratory and at large in the field. These crops have included strawberries, raspberries, corn, potatoes, tomatoes and others crops in a variety of locations. There is a pending patent application in the United States and an international patent application filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization. If the U.S. application is granted, the resulting patent will expire on January 15, 2024. If the foreign applications are granted, the resulting patents will expire on May 29, 2034.

 

We are also the assignee of a patent application that pertains to the use of an artificial Superoxide Dismutase (“SOD”) compositions for the treatment of several plant and animal diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as ALS disease). Superoxide is naturally produced by plants and animals, including humans, and its production is accelerated in times of trauma or stress. SOD is produced by the cells to counteract the effects of an over-production of superoxide. Adequate amounts of SOD may increase life-span in humans and may be capable of remediating (and saving) severely stressed plants. This patent application discusses an artificial SOD that can be easily applied and used for treating over-production of superoxide, particularly ALS and other neural disorders. The artificial SOD at issue here is less expensive to manufacture than other artificial SODs and has a significantly lighter molecular weight. Animal and human studies of the SOD are being discussed on an ongoing basis with NASA and academic entities. If the U.S. application is granted, the resulting patent will expire on January 15, 2024. The plant and space radiation applications of the patent applications are being assigned to ZGSI exclusively from Mr. John Wayne Kennedy for specialized testing and research.

 

ZGSI is the exclusive assignee of a patent application directed to the replication of stems cells in a weightless environment. This patent application contains claims covering biological processes in microgravity, including the growth of cellular plant and animal tissues on-orbit, the three-dimensional growth of biologics on-orbit, enhanced gene expression of biologics in extended microgravity, stem cell replication and related processes. The technology accelerates the evolution of organisms, particularly plants, to adapt the organism to thrive in a hostile environment including cold and/or arid climates. Plants adapted using the technology show increased tolerance for the selected hostile environment relative to traditional plants. Specific applications include the development of food crops that are tolerant of cold climates (e.g. frost resistant crops) and arid environments (drought resistant crops). A key part of our ongoing operations is the expansion of this technology to cover additional crops, animals and eventually humans, and the specific methodologies and tools that are developed from our R&D. If granted, the patent will likely expire in November 2026 plus any applicable term adjustment. It is therefore a part of our technology that holds much promise and, from a commercial standpoint, is in the medium to longer term plans of the Company.

 

Trade Secrets

 

Parts of our stable of intellectual property resides in trade secrets pertaining to the manufacturing of several of the materials mentioned in this document. In particular, BAM-FX and its derivatives are made in a complex and very specific process utilizing purpose-built equipment. These manufacturing processes are a separate technology, distinct from the patent applications, and remain highly secure and confidential. Reverse engineering of a product is always possible given enough resources to the task at hand. However attempting to manufacture BAM-FX without the correct purpose-built equipment requisite to the task can result in a runaway exothermic reaction that can have very dangerous consequences. We believe that the experience that we have honed over several years of manufacturing these products gives us a substantial competitive edge over any potential newcomers.

Trademarks

 

In 2014, we filed trademark applications to protect “BAM-FX” and “Unlocking Nutrition for the World” which are currently pending. We also hold a number of other common law trademarks which we may register in the future.

 

Strategic Relationships

 

1. UC Davis, Department of Land, Air & Water Resources: The Company is currently conducting field trials of BAM-FX initially with walnut trees in conjunction with the Department of Land, Air & Water Resources at the University of California, Davis.

 

2. In April 2014, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between ZGS UK and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (“IITA”). The IITA is an African international not-for-profit research organization organized in 1967. It is considered one of the world's leading research partners in finding solutions for hunger, malnutrition, and poverty. Their research and development addresses the development needs of tropical countries by working with partners to enhance crop quality and productivity, reduce producer and consumer risks, and generate wealth from agriculture. Notable investors in the organization include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Bank and the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”). We believe that this relationship could lead to significant business opportunities as we execute our business plan.

 

3. NASA – The Company, through its relationship with John Wayne Kennedy, was a party to a Space Act Agreement (“SAA”) between Mr. JW Kennedy’s wholly owned entity, Zero Gravity Inc., and NASA Ames Research Center (“ARC”) that recently expired, and is currently in negotiation of a new SAA between ARC and the Company, updated for the Company’s current research needs. These SAAs are of importance to both supporting NASA’s missions and to the business of ZGSI. The goals of this partnership are as follows:

 

a. Establish the physiological basis for the action of BAM-FX on plant performance and to evaluate the potential utility to commercial agriculture, space biology, and to study the effects on plant growth in sealed Advanced Life Support Incubators at NASA ARC. In addition, on orbit research will be conducted aboard the ISS for controlled tests in microgravity;
b. Investigations will be conducted to learn how ingested ZGSI’s BAM-FX treated bio-fortified crops and Zn/Cu skin salve cream may serve as immune system boosting and antioxidant counter measures for inhibiting space radiation induced cancers;
c. Small satellite plant growth experiments will be jointly developed to investigate the effects that the Company’s ZGSI products have on enhancing seedling germination and plant growth on the moon; and
d. ZGSI will conduct ground and space experiments using for its Directed Selection technology. This partnership will study the potential resulting changes in the cell lines and any resulting new unique plant cultivars.

 

The Company expects to be the primary party to the new SAA.

 

4. Intrinsyx Technologies Corporation (“Intrinsyx”) is an engineering and information technology services company that has delivered innovative, high-performance IT solutions for space systems and payloads to NASA for over 11 years.

They will also liaise locally with NASA in order to support our continued access to NASA-funded research and development on the ISS.

 

5. The Tropical Research and Education Center of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences located in Homestead (“IFAS/TREC”) has conducted field trials on BAM-FX on multiple crops. TREC was the primary investigator during five trails of our Directed Selection technology on flights to the ISS.

 

6. The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (“CASIS”) is the new NGO responsible for the management of the United States’ portion of the ISS, which has been designated as a national laboratory. CASIS’ mandate from Congress is to commercialize and fully utilize the unique capabilities of the ISS. The Company is currently negotiating two forms of agreement with CASIS. The non-funded agreement provides the Company laboratory space, transport to and from the ISS, access to all modules of the ISS and astronaut time. These services would be provided to ZGSI free of charge. The funded agreement would provide all services of the non-funded agreement and in addition, will provide specific non-dilutive financing on a project-by-project basis.

7. Utah State University – In mid-2014, ZGSI and Utah State University/Space Dynamics Laboratory (“USU”) formed a research and development partnership to test and evaluate the ground-based and space-based application of BAM-FX on a variety of high value agricultural crops. The ground-based investigations are being conducted in the USU greenhouse and field laboratories by faculty and staff from the USU Department of Plants, Soils and Climate. The space-based investigations will involve key researchers and facilities from SDL and will be conducted on planned space flights (2015 and 2016) to the ISS.

 

8. AgriBioTech México and Nature Based Technologies LLC – The relationships between our two current master-dealers are described above.

 

Government Regulations

 

While the BAM-FX product is different than most fertilizers available, we believe that most state regulatory agencies will require us to register as a fertilizer. The BAM-FX product has recently been registered and issued a license as a liquid fertilizer by the State of California. It is also currently completing registration as an organic fertilizer within the State of California. California is considered one of the most difficult states to gain such registration, and may establish strong precedent for other states to allow such registration of BAM-FX’s product. The Company does not make any claims that BAM-FX is a fungicide, bactericide or pesticide, including the related patent applications, thus alleviating most regulatory oversight. All ingredients in the formulation are categorized as Generally Regarded as Safe (“GRAS”) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“USFDA”).

 

With regards to aspects of the Directed Selection technology utilized in the creation of new varieties of an existing plant’s stem cell with unique characteristics, the resulting plant is developed exclusively through differential gene expression through exposure of the indigenous genome of the original plant to microgravity. No foreign DNA or genetic material is added or introduced to the genome, thus it is not considered to be a GMO and the Company believes that it would likely not fall under regulations that GMOs face. As such, we believe that these plants would be regulated by the USFDA as any other non-genetically modified plant would and we do not expect it to significantly impact our business plan.

 

Certain aspects of the Directed Selection technology related to the development of human stem cells will not be developed until our shorter term goals of developing new plant technologies are realized and profitable. We therefore have not invested significant resources in determining the exact level of regulation that they will face. However, we are under the assumption that this technology will face significant regulation, including full USFDA review and approval once developed. Before the Company begins to incur significant resources related on this technology, it will complete a full review of the applicable regulations.

 

The final element of our patent portfolio is our Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) patent license which could be subject to regulatory control at some point in the future. We have not completed sufficient R&D to ascertain what exactly the product would be subject to from a regulatory standpoint at this early stage.

 

Competition

 

There are more than 700 major fertilizer manufactures worldwide; of those who manufacture a marketable product, approximately 80% of these manufacture a fertilizer with nitrogen as an ingredient. As a standalone product, BAM-FX would need to compete with these fertilizers or be added to the treated plants with an additional application. We believe that our product can create end product value far in excess of the cost of BAM-FX. BAM-FX is engaged in laboratory as well as agricultural field testing and preliminary data suggest that the positive effects of BAM-FX applications to all plants tested has made them healthier and more robust.

 

The BAM-FX formula has the capability to be integrated into existing formulated, liquid fertilizers as an additional ingredient. Lab and field research indicates that, by blending the BAM-FX formula with the ingredients of existing, widely distributed, “branded” products, we could become a major supplier to nitrogen based fertilizer producers as well as all organic fertilizers that are now making their way into the marketplace. BAM-FX works synergistically with and greatly improves other products and therefore could become a successful ingredient supplier to major companies with existing wide distribution. As far as we are aware there is no direct competitor utilizing this business plan.

 

15
 

  

Internal formulation research is ongoing as customization will be important to accommodate the variations in soil and environmental conditions and new discoveries through earth and space research may be capable of growing plants in more formidable climatic conditions. This would possibly give BAM-FX an additional competitive advantage.

 

Competitive Advantage/Barriers to Entry:

 

The Company believes that ZGSI is not only protected from an IP standpoint, but that its professional and industry relationships put it in a favorable position ahead of potential competition.

 

· Our BAM-FX ionic mineral delivery system utilizes a trade secret method of manufacturing that would be cost prohibitive and time consuming to reverse engineer. This proprietary and confidential method of manufacture has been developed and refined over two decades of trial and error. Additionally, attempting to manufacture BAM-FX without the customized manufacturing machinery and methodology could pose a physical safety hazard.
· We, through our offices and scientists, have access to the International Space Station as and when needed.
· ZGSI has a world-class science team working in conjunction with IFAS/TREC that has performed to accomplish several space shuttle flights and subsequent space flights that continued to study stem cell science on the Shuttle, ISS-National Lab missions.
· We enjoy a close working relationship with the USDA Agriculture Research Services Labs, UC Davis, Utah State University, IFAS/TREC and other recognized agricultural industry leaders and academic institutions.
· The Company has an experienced management team with many years in industry, business operations, corporate finance IP development and protection as well as a world-class scientific and senior advisory boards.

We have generated only minimal revenues from our operations thus far. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies. To become profitable and competitive, we must develop the business plan and execute on that plan.

 

We expect to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. Furthermore, upon the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

 

for the year-ended december 31, 2013

 

As of December 31, 2013, we were considered a development stage company without current operating revenues. We do not expect to realize significant operating revenues until we are successful in developing and marketing one or more of our technologies. We anticipate that in the near term, ongoing expenses, including the costs associated with future preparation and filing of SEC reports, will be paid for by proceeds from future offerings.

 

The Company’s shares of common stock were listed on the OTC Pink Limited marketplace (symbol ZGSI.PK), where the Company has filed annual audited and quarterly auditor reviewed financial statements.

 

We introduced the Company’s first commercial product, BAM - FX, originally designed to provide densely nutritious and robust plants for extended duration, manned NASA missions. The product, as applied to agricultural use here on Earth, has developed into a platform technology that has enormous potential across all forms of agriculture.

 

Commercial field trials of BAM-FX have begun in California, Florida, Texas, Iowa, New York and Idaho in conjunction with major growers and well respected agricultural universities such as UC-Davis, University of Florida, Ohio State University, Cornell University, Texas A&M and others. BAM-FX field trials data is being aggregated by our scientists and cooperative partners. All labeling and regulatory requirements are being addressed. Channels of distribution for BAM-FX are being established for commercial distribution commencing early 2015. Manufacturing of BAM-FX is being established in multiple locations.

  

We continue to grow the experience and knowledge of our management team. Anthony Tether, longest serving director of DARPA, has become our Senior Strategic Advisor. Former Congressman Robert S. Walker, former head of the House Committee on Science and Technology has become our Senior Legislative and Regulatory Advisor.

 

The recent extension by the White House of the International Space Station to 2024 and this year’s success and expansion of commercial space transportation systems (SpaceX, Orbital Sciences, etc.) provides the ability to bring our stem cells to the ISS and back and has dramatically increased the importance of space commercialization work.

 

NASA has recognized the Company as a pathfinder company and has referred to the Company as a prime example of the value of the ISS for developing solutions for existing problems facing humanity on Earth. Our management team has been invited by both governmental and private sector conferences to present our science and its potential capabilities.

 

We have opened our UK office at Harwell in conjunction with Oxford University at their new Space and Life Sciences Incubator Center. Because of the resistance to GMOs in Europe, we anticipate the European Union to become a primary early adopter initially of our BAM-FX product and subsequently of our plant stem cell technology.

 

17
 

  

We have established a recognized branded image including a comprehensive website, electronic media presence and broad based line of corporate collateral and presentation materials. We are firmly on the path to the commercialization and the anticipated generation of revenue through BAM-FX, thereby transitioning the Company from the development stage to commercial operations while continuing our groundbreaking research and development of plant, animal and non-embryonic human stem cells in the International Space Station.

 

Results of Operations

 

We did not realize revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. During 2013, we recorded $1,144,169 in general and administrative expenses, $16,115 in research and development and $1,700 in interest expense, compared with $8,305 in general and administrative expenses $11,500 in research and development and $24,825 in interest expense in 2012. Interest expense was for accrued interest on notes payable to related parties representing cash advances from shareholders to pay operating expenses. Interest accrues on the notes at 10% per annum. The notes are unsecured and due and payable upon demand. We recognized a net loss of $1,158,969 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to a net loss of $44,630 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Total assets at December 31, 2013 were $295,435 and December 31, 2012 were $0. Total liabilities at December 31, 2013 were $185,393, consisting of $143,250 in accounts payable, 1,143 in accrued interest and $41,000 in note payable related party. At December 31, 2012, total liabilities were $9,354 consisting of $3,354 in accounts payable, and $6,000 in note payable to related party.

 

Because we had no revenues and currently only have minimal revenues, for the immediate future we will have to rely on proceeds from sales of our securities to continue our business activities. If we are unable to realize necessary funding, our research and development plans will be delayed indefinitely. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds necessary to carry out our business plan on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. At December 31, 2013, we had stockholders’ equity of $110,042 compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $9,354 at December 31, 2012. The increase is primarily due to proceeds of $1,012,000 from issuance of 2,024,000 shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that this offering will be successful or that any alternative funding will be available to us, or if available, such funding will be on acceptable or favorable terms to us.

 

FOR THE QUARTER AND PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

 

During 2014, we opened a production facility and began production of our BAM-FX product. This product contains proprietary technology designed to boost the nutritional value and enhance the immune system of food crops by enabling those crops to systemically uptake specific, targeted minerals and nutrients without the use of Genetic Modification (Non-GMO). During the third quarter we had our first sales. We have had a large subsequent sale in the fourth quarter.

 

During 2014, we separated our business activities between three wholly owned subsidiaries that separate out our business activities. ZGS UK, is incorporated in England and is in charge of our European activities. BAM Inc. produces and sells our BAM-FX product, while ZGLS is responsible for our space research projects and conducting research on future BAM product lines. We believe that the separation of these functions and the corresponding allocation of management by expertise will enable us to improve our production and focus on our different divisions.

 

The following highlights the significant progress the Company have made toward to the introduction, commercialization and creation of revenue derived from the Company’s first agricultural product, BAM-FX™ utilizing new science never seen before by the agricultural community. We are now past the inflection point and are manufacturing and shipping commercial quantities of BAM-FX to brand name users.

 

We have conducted internal academic and end-user (growers) field studies on BAM-FX over the last 11 months which have demonstrated:

 

· Higher yields
· Robust root development
· Greater sugar and chlorophyll content
· Larger biomass
· Earlier flowering
· Reduction in the use of phosphate and nitrate fertilizers, resulting in decreased water-polluting run-off.

Although we have started product sales we anticipate that in the near term, ongoing expenses, including the costs associated with future preparation and filing of SEC reports, will be paid for by proceeds from sales of our securities and anticipate the need for an additional offering.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our net loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $996,962 compared to $266,809 for the third quarter of 2013.

 

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $2,112,637 and $632,781 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Included in these nine months ended numbers are non-cash items of $887,892 and $45,513, respectively.

 

Significant items for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 include:

 

· Total revenues increased $11,619 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, as we have begun selling our BAM-FX product.

 

· Operating expenses increased 276.4% or $738,396 and 234% or $1,485,551 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 from the corresponding period in 2013, respectively. These increases were primarily due to an increase in research and development for the BAM – FX product, plant facilities, employees and raw materials necessary for the startup of operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Total assets at September 30, 2014 were $439,886 as compared to $295,435 as of December 31, 2013. Total liabilities at September 30, 2014 were $127,408, consisting of $111,700 in accounts payable, $1,708 in accrued Interest and $14,000 in note payable related party. At December 31, 2013, total liabilities were $185,393 consisting of $143,250 in accounts payable, $1,143 in accrued interest and $41,000 in note payable to related party.

 

                Because we have a new product line, for the immediate future we will have to rely on proceeds from the sale of our securities to continue our business activities. If we are unable to realize necessary funding, our production of BAM-FX and research and development plans will be delayed indefinitely. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds necessary to carry out our business plan on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. At September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,738,485 compared to an accumulated deficit of $1,621,334 at December 31, 2013. The increased in deficit is primarily due to the startup of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding or that any alternative funding will be available to us, or if available, such funding will be on acceptable or favorable terms to us.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements”. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.

 

Inflation

 

In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future. Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.

 

2014 Sale of BAM-FX

 

Since we began production and sales of our BAM-FX product in the third quarter of 2014, we are no longer a development stage company. In October 2014 we had a sale for $100,000 of the BAM-FX product.

2015 Outlook

 

We do not feel that we can predict revenues/cash flow at this time since this is new product line. We believe that we will need additional funding to cover 2015 expenses.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

Kennedy advance royalties as determined by the CEO of the Company, to be deducted from any future royalties due. No sales requiring royalties have occurred as of September 30, 2014.
· As of September 30, 2014, the Company has advanced a total of $26,500 to Messrs. JW Kennedy and P. Kennedy, our directors, which will offset future royalties to be earned under the Royalty Agreement to pay for legal fees related to the patent for the "Mitigation of Plant and Animal Diseases using Bioavailable Minerals." The Company may utilize this patent in future and reserves the right to negotiate for this patent at a later date.

Director Independence

 

Our Common Stock is not quoted or listed on any national exchange or interdealer quotation system with a requirement that a majority of our board of directors be independent and therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2)(A), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she also is an executive officer or employee of the corporation.  Under such definition, Harvey Kaye, Richard Godwin, John Wayne Kennedy, Patrick Kennedy, and Edward F. Cowle would not be considered independent as they serve current or have served as the officers of the Company within the past three years. Mr. Deworth Williams may be considered independent under this standard.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Currently we do not have any standing committees of the Board of Directors. Until such time as formal committees are established, our Board of Directors will perform some of the functions associated with a nominating committee and a compensation committee, including reviewing all forms of compensation provided to our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees, including stock compensation. The Board will also perform the functions of an audit committee until we establish a formal audit committee.

 

Item 8. Legal Proceedings.

 

There are presently no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, is a party or as to which any of its property is subject, and no such proceedings are known to the Registrant to be threatened or contemplated against it.

 

Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

 

(a) Market Information.

 

Our common stock is presently quoted on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “ZGSI”, although there has not been an active trading market for the shares. Accordingly, we are not including a history of reported trades in the public market because of the limited and sporadic trading. There have been less than 17,000 shares traded in the past 12 months.

 

(b) Holders.

 

As of December 15, 2014, there were 172 record holders of an aggregate of 30,034,594 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding.

The Registrant has not paid any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for the development of the Registrant's business.

· to participate pro rata in any distribution of assets available for distribution upon liquidation.

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Nevada law provides that a Nevada corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation (i.e., a “non-derivative proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he or she:

 

· is not liable under Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes for breach of his or her fiduciary duties to the corporation; or
· acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

In addition, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (i.e., a “derivative proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she:

 

· is not liable under Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statute for breach of his or her fiduciary duties to the corporation; or
· acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

 

Under Nevada law, indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any non-derivative proceeding or any derivative proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense.

 

Further, Nevada law permits a Nevada corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or to make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with actions or proceedings brought against them by reason of their serving or having served as officers, directors or in other capacities, provided that the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, unless such director or officer for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Company. We shall be required to indemnify a director or officer in connection with an action or proceeding commenced by such director or officer only if the commencement of such action or proceeding by the director or officer was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.

We have procured a Directors and Officers Insurance Policy with National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA with a $3,000,000 limit of liability.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors
Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses of $1,621,334 for the period from inception through December 31, 2013 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, HISTORY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company was organized on August 19, 1983 in the State of Idaho, under the name as Hazelwood-Gable, Inc.. to acquire and develop mineral properties.

 

On January 12, 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to ElectroHealing Technologies, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada, in anticipation of a merger which did not occur.

 

On January 11, 2013, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. ("the Company") ("ZGSI"), pursuant to the acquisition of intellectual property on December 3, 2012.

 

On October 29, 2013, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware, Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc., which had no operations through December 31, 2013.

 

On November 6, 2013, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware, Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc., which had no operations through December 31, 2013.

 

On December 16, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of Zero Gravity Solutions, Ltd. ("ZGLS"). This was a dormant U.K. company, which had no operations prior to acquisition and through December 31, 2013.

 

The Company owns proprietary technology for its first commercial product, BAM-FX that can boost the nutritional value and enhance the immune system of food crops without the use of Genetic Modification.

ZERO GRAVITY SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Currently activities during the development stage primarily include implementing the business plan and obtaining additional equity related financing.

 

Revenues have not been generated during the period from August 19, 1983 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses in the statement of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 820-10, " Fair Value Measurements ", as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from m selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company's short-term financial instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes payable - related party, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Basic (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

 

The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

 

    December 31, 2013     December 31, 2012  
Stock Warrants (Exercise price - $.50/share) (see Note 6)     735,400       -  
Total common stock equivalents     735,400       -  

 

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred for which there is no alternative future use.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in United States Dollars. The financial position and results of operations of our foreign subsidiary will be measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiary will be translated from its local currency (British pounds) into the reporting currency, U.S. dollars, using period end exchange rates. Equity transactions will be translated using the historical exchange rate that will be in effect when the transactions occur. The resulting translation adjustments will be recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Revenues and expenses will be translated using weighted average exchange rates for the respective periods. Transaction gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions will be recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740-20, "Income Taxes — Intraperiod Tax Allocation," clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20 by prescribing guidance for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FASB ASC Topic 740-20 requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of FASB ASC Topic 740-20 may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

 

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

 

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have an effect on the Company's financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of approximately $1,200,000 and net cash used in operations of approximately $700,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company is in the development stage and has not generated revenue since inception.

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established any source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include obtaining capital from certain related parties, management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

At December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,288,525 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2033. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2013 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

 

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated for subsequent events between the balance sheet date of December 31, 2013 and March 25, 2014, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and concluded that events or transactions occurring during that period requiring recognition or disclosure have been made.

 

Common Stock Issued for Cash

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company issued 796,000 shares of common stock for $398,000 ($0.50/share).

 

Of the 796,000 shares of common stock issued, the Company paid direct offering costs of $31,400 (either 5% or 10% of gross proceeds) related to 696,000 shares of common stock sold for cash. As a result of the offering, the Company also issued 68,100 fully vested non-forfeitable warrants as direct offering costs, which had no net effect on the statement of stockholders' equity and had a fair value of $31,491 based upon the following management assumptions:

 

Exercise price   $ 0.50  
         
Expected dividends     0 %
         
Expected volatility     157.54 %
         
Risk free interest rate     1.46% - 1.70 %
         
Expected life of warrants     5 years  

 

Common Stock issued for Services

 

During January 2014, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock to a third party consultant for services having a fair value of $25,000 ($0.50/share) based on the most recent cash offering price.

 

Warrants issued for Services

 

During March 2014, the Company issued 256,000 fully vested, non-forfeitable warrants to a third party consultant for services having a fair value of $118,401 based upon the following management assumptions:

 

Exercise price   $ 0.50  
         
Expected dividends     0 %
         
Expected volatility     157.54 %
         
Risk free interest rate     1.46% - 1.73 %
         
Expected life of warrants     5 years

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, HISTORY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company was organized on August 19, 1983 in the State of Idaho, under the name as Hazelwood-Gable, Inc. to acquire and develop mineral properties.

 

On January 12, 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to ElectroHealing Technologies, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada, in anticipation of a merger which did not occur.

 

On January 11, 2013, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. (“the Company”) (“ZGSI”), pursuant to the acquisition of intellectual property on December 3, 2012.

 

On October 29, 2013, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware, Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc., which had no operations through December 31, 2013.

 

On December 16, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of Zero Gravity Solutions, Ltd. (“ZGLS”). This was a dormant U.K. company, which had no operations prior to acquisition and through December 31, 2013.

 

On June 13, 2014, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Florida, Bam Agricultural Solutions, Inc.

 

On September 17, 2014, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Florida, Zero Gravity Life Sciences, Inc.

 

The Company owns proprietary technology for its first commercial product, BAM-FX TM that can boost the nutritional value and enhance the immune system of food crops without the use of Genetic Modification.

 

The Company’s mission is to improve life on earth by applying intellectual property and technology designed for and derived from six NASA enabled flights over the last five years through utilization of the unique long-term microgravity environment platform of the International Space Station (ISS). The Company’s initial projects will be directed to providing solutions to critical world food crop challenges.

 

Further, the Company is focused on industrializing and commercializing scientific breakthroughs in the area of patentable stem cell technologies through developing advances in plant, animal and human biology based on intellectual property designed for and derived from multiple experiments on the ISS.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses in the statement of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued on a lower of first-in, first out (FIFO) cost or market basis. At September 30, 2014 Raw materials on hand was $8,696 and finished product inventory was valued at $10,746.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges taken for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10,  “Fair Value Measurements” , as well as certain related FASB staff positions.  This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

· Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
   
· Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. 
   
· Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes payable – related party, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Stock based compensation

 

We account for stock options in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718: Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards, and at subsequent exercise or settlement for cash-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value” awards such as restricted stock and performance shares, and estimated using an option-pricing model with traditional inputs for “appreciation” awards such as stock options and stock appreciation rights.

 

50
 

 

ZERO GRAVITY SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 (unaudited)

 

Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from our initial estimates: previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Basic (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

 

The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

    September 30. 2014     December 31. 2013  
Stock Warrants (Exercise price - $.50/share) (see Note 6)     1,986,660       735,400  
 Total common stock equivalents     1,986,660       735,400  

 

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred for which there is no alternative future use.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The Company has a bank account in foreign currency. The balance of this bank account was translated from its local currency (British Pounds) into the reporting currency, U.S. dollars, using period end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments were recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Revenues and expenses were translated using weighted average exchange rate for the period.

 

Transaction gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company did not enter into any financial instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, “ Income Taxes ,” which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740-20,  “Income Taxes – Intraperiod Tax Allocation,”  clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20 by prescribing guidance for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FASB ASC Topic 740-20 requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of FASB ASC Topic 740-20 may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 (unaudited)

 

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

 

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as “Development Stage Entities” (Topic 915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity.   Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915.  The Company has adopted this standard and will not report inception to date financial information.

 

NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,733,971 and net cash used in operations of $1,448,533 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established any source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include obtaining capital from certain related parties, management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

Section 2.01 Annual Meeting . The annual meeting of the shareholders will be held the second Wednesday of April of each year, or at such other time designated by the Board of Directors and as is provided for in the notice of the meeting, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the election of directors will not be held on the day designated for the annual meeting of the shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board or Directors will cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as may be convenient.

 

Section 2.02 Special Meetings . Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or by the Board of Directors, or in their absence or disability, by any Vice President; and will be called by the President or, in his or her absence or disability, by a Vice President or by the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of not less than 15% of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, such written request to state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and to be delivered to the President, each Vice President, or Secretary. In case of failure to call such meeting within 60 days after such request, such shareholder or shareholders may call the same.

 

Section 2.03 Place of Meetings . The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of Directors. A waiver of notice signed by all shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation is made, or if the special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting will be at the principal office of the corporation.

 

Section 2.04 Notice of Meetings . The Secretary or Assistant Secretary, if any, will cause notice of the time, place, and purpose or purposes of all meetings of the shareholders (whether annual or special), to be mailed at least 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote.

 

 
 

 

Section 2.05 Waiver of Notice . Any shareholder may waive notice of any meeting of shareholders (however called or noticed, whether or not called or noticed and whether before, during, or after the meeting), by signing a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. Attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, will constitute waiver of all defects of call or notice regardless of whether waiver, consent, or approval is signed or any objec6ons are made. All such waivers, consents, or approvals will be made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

 

Section 2.06 Fixing Record Date . For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any annual meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide that the share transfer books will be closed, for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting, but not for a period exceeding 60 days. If the share transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting, such books will be closed for at least 10 days immediately preceding such meeting.

 

In lieu of closing the share transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than 60 days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than 10 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If the share transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting or to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, will be the record date for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination will apply to any adjournment thereof. Failure to comply with this Section will not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of shareholders.

 

Section 2.07 Voting Lists .

The original share transfer book will be prima facie evidence as to the shareholders who are entitled to examine such list or transfer books, or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

 

Section 2.08 Quorum . A majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power represented by shares at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject will constitute action by the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the laws of the state of incorporation of the corporation or the Articles of Incorporation. If less than a majority of the outstanding voting power is represented at a meeting, a majority of the voting power represented by shares so present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum will be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

 

Section 2.09 Voting of Shares . Each outstanding share of the corporation entitled to vote will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to vote at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or series of stock are determined and specified as greater or lesser than one vote per share in the manner provided by the Articles of Incorporation.

Section 2.10 Proxies . At each meeting of the shareholders, each shareholder entitled to vote will be entitled to vote in person or by proxy; provided , however, that the right to vote by proxy will exist only in case the instrument authorizing such proxy to act will have been executed in writing by the registered holder or holders of such shares, as the case may be, as shown on the share transfer of the corporation or by his or her or her attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing. Such instrument authorizing a proxy to act will be delivered at the beginning of such meeting to the Secretary of the corporation or to such other officer or person who may, in the absence of the Secretary, be acting as Secretary of the meeting.

Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity will be entitled to vote the shares so held and the persons whose shares are pledged will be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledge or on the books of the corporation he or she will have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case the pledgee, or his or her or her proxy, may represent such shares and vote thereon.

 

Section 2.11 Written Consent to Action by Shareholders . Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, will be signed by shareholders holding at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof, except that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required..

Exhibit 10.7

 

NONREIMBURSABLE SPACE ACT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
ZGI, INC
AND
NASA
FOR
UTILIZATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AS A NATIONAL LAB

 

ARTICLE 1. AUTHORITY AND PARTIES

 

In accordance with The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2473 (c)), this Agreement is entered into by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration located at 300 E Street SW. Washington, DC 20546 (hereinafter referred to as "NASA") and ZGI inc.. having its principal office at 101 Beachside Drive, Stevensville, MD 21666, (hereinafter referred to as "ZGI" or "Partner"). NASA and Partner may be individually referred to as a "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties."

 

ARTICLE 2. PURPOSE AND NASA'S COMMITMENT

 

NASA plans to operate a share of the U.S. accommodations on the International Space Station (ISS) as a national laboratory in accordance with the NASA Authorization Act of 2005. To fulfill this mandate NASA released an announcement entitled the "National Lab Opportunity - Opportunity for the use of the International Space Station by U.S. Non-Government Entities for Research and Development and Industrial Processing Purposes." Zero Gravity Inc. responded to that announcement with a proposal to utilize the ISS for space-based on-orbit cellular science, applied research, and the development of manufacturing processes that will enable high-volume replication and production of plant, animal, and human cells.

 

To enable research during the ISS assembly phase, ZGI can utilize the existing NASA Space Act Agreement with Bioserve Space Technologies (Bioserve) for limited launch opportunities. Utilization of this existing agreement will allow ZGI to demonstrate early proof-of-concept research. If this proof-of concept research is successful ZGI could proceed with dedicated ZGI capabilities consistent with available space restrictions on the ISS during the ISS post-assembly phase.

 

ARTICLE 3. RESPONSIBILITIES

 

A. ZGI will use reasonable efforts to:

 

I. Ensure the majority of the research and development conducted by ZGI has commercial support or applications.

 

2. Maximize the utilization of all flight opportunities made possible during the assembly phase and made available to ZGI for research and development proof-of-concepts to remove any technical or research bathers that would inhibit full scale production during the post-assembly complete phase.

 

 
 

 

3.  Conduct all flight research and development in accordance with NASA payload requirements.

 

4.  Provide NASA with Operational Reports* on all payloads flown under this agreement.

 

5.  Provide NASA with Findings Reports* on the findings from, the research and development conducted with payloads flown under this agreement.

 

B. NASA will use reasonable efforts to:

 

1.  For Phase A (remaining ISS assembly phase) provide ZGI manifest opportunities thru the existing agreement with Bioserve Space Technologies consisting of Commercial Generic BioproceSsing Apparatus Science Inserts (CSIs) on Space Shuttle flights (as stated in Article 3) for the rerriaining assembly phase of the International Space Station to enable path finder research 41d development.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event Landlord shall consent to an assignment, subletting or change of tenancy, Tenant shall be subject to a change of tenancy fee equal to one month's Total Monthly Rent, payable at the time of Landlord's consent to assignment. Such Assignment or Sublease, as the case may be, shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease. Such Assignment or Sublease, as the case may be, shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease. Tenant shall furnish, contemporaneously with its request for approval, the name and residential address of the proposed Assignee or Sublessee, one commercial bank reference, and one business reference for each of the proposed Assignee, Subtenant and their principals, the social security number of all principals of the proposed Assignee or Subtenant and such other information which Landlord may require in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

2. The Tenant shall promptly execute and comply with all statutes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the Federal, State and City Government and of any and all their departments and bureaus applicable to said premises, for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to licensing, signage, installation maintenance and repair of back-flow prevention devices and grease traps, when applicable, construction and the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances or other grievances in, upon or connected with the said premises during said term, and shall also promptly comply with and execute all rules, orders and regulations for the prevention of fires, at Tenant's own cost and expense.

If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises after the cancellation of the Lease as provided for in the previous sentence without entering into a new lease agreement, then the Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises on a month-to-month basis and the monthly rent for said tenancy shall be two hundred percent of the Total Monthly Rent for the last month of the natural term of the Lease. During such month-to-month tenancy Tenant shall be responsible to comply with all terms, conditions, escalations and covenants of this Lease as if the same had not been canceled.

Any such retaking of possession shall not constitute a rescission of the Lease, by either party or a surrendering of the leasehold estate by Tenant. In the event bankruptcy proceedings shall be commenced by or against the Tenant, Landlord may elect to accept rent from such receiver, trustee, or other judicial officer during the term of their occupancy in their fiduciary capacity. A receiver, trustee or other judicial officer shall never have any right, title or interest in or to the above described properly by virtue of this Lease.

If such statement shall indicate that Tenant's actual proportionate share exceeds the estimated payments made by Tenant for the preceding calendar year, Tenant shall forthwith pay Landlord such shortage within thirty days after Tenant's receipt of such written notice. All specifications, facts and square footages are approximations only. All amounts due and payable under this Lease with the exception of Base Rent shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and Landlord shall have all rights of collection and remedies at law and equity to secure the payment thereof.
