NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Description of Business Diatect International Corporation (the “Company”) develops and markets non-toxic pesticide products. The Company is located in Heber, Utah and sells its products to both wholesale distributors and retail customers in the United States.
 
Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB.  The financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
 
Restatement
 
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company realized that the March 31, 2007 financial statements needed to be revised to correct an overstatement of inventory as of March 31, 2007 and an understatement of cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a result, the Company corrected the financial statements for March 31, 2007 and for the three months then ended. The corrected statement of operations and statement of cash flows are included in these financial statements.  There is no effect of this adjustment on the financial statements as of December 31, 2007. The effect of the restatement was as follows:

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates upon subsequent resolution of identified matters.

Business Condition – The Company generated sales of $372,964 and incurred a net loss of $750,279 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008 the Company had a total stockholders’ deficit of $1,976,245 and its current liabilities exceeded current assets by $3,229,155.

The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and being able to generate net profits in the future. Management believes that these events are likely to occur in the near future, even though no assurance thereof can be given. Additional financing arrangements have been negotiated and are discussed further in Notes 4, 6 and 9.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Credit Risk - The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable included in the balance sheets represent the Company’s exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of each customer’s financial condition. The Company has not had any significant credit losses in the past and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and such allowances in the aggregate did not exceeded management’s estimations.

DIATECT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Trade accounts receivables and other receivables are carried at original invoiced amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory – The Company’s current inventory consists primarily of raw materials and finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the average cost method. Raw materials consist of the various active ingredients that comprise the Company’s products and shipping and packaging materials. When there is evidence that inventory values are less than original cost, the inventory is reduced to market value. The Company determines market value based on current prices and whether obsolescence exists.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. The cost of an asset and related accumulated depreciation are also charged to operations when retired or otherwise disposed. Depreciation is computed based on the estimated useful life of the assets using straight-line and accelerated methods. Useful lives for equipment range from 3 to 10 years. Equipment under capital leases is amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the equipment or the lease term. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the remaining useful life of the asset.

Intangible Assets   – The Company’s intangible assets consist of the labels that are placed on its products and that have been registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. The estimated useful life of the labels is indefinite and they are subject to impairment if and when appropriate. The Company has not impaired the value of the labels during 2008 and 2007.

Long Lived Assets – Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – Due to the short maturity of trade receivables and current liabilities, including trade payables, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The carrying amount reported for notes payable approximates fair value and interest rates on these notes approximate current interest rates given the current business condition of the Company.

Revenue Recognition – The Company manufactures and sells pesticides to retailers, agricultural concerns and directly to the public through a Company and affiliate websites. Revenue from the sale of its products when (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred and no significant obligations remain, (c) the sales price is fixed and determinable and (d) collection is determined to be probable. Sales credits and price concessions are treated as a reduction of revenue. Product returns are permitted, but historically have occurred within a short period after the sale and are estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenue at the time of the sale.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Shipping and Handling Costs – Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues.

Marketing and Selling Expenses – Marketing and selling expenses include the salaries and wages of its in-house sales force, advertising, product samples and promotional expenses. The Company designs and prints literature and marketing materials for its products, as well as promotional materials used in trade shows.
 
Income Taxes – No income taxes have been paid or accrued for Federal tax purposes because the Company has had no net taxable income since inception. In accordance with SFAS 109, the Company recognizes the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement amounts of certain assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and deferred liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that uncertainty exists as to whether the deferred tax assets will ultimately be realized.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share   – Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period presented. There were potentially dilutive common shares outstanding as presented in the following table that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Share Based Payments – The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R). Under SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date, is recognized over the relevant service period, and is adjusted each period for anticipated forfeitures. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.  The Company has no stock options issued or outstanding for any of the periods presented.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP FIN) No. 157-2 which extended the effective date for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of the portions of SFAS No. 157 that were not postponed by FSP FIN No. 157-2 did not have a material impact on our financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of the postponed portions of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

DIATECT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements, consolidated net income shall be adjusted to include the net income attributed to the non-controlling interest and consolidated comprehensive income shall be adjusted to include the comprehensive income attributed to the non-controlling interest. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

On January 1, 2008, we elected not to adopt SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. We did not elect this fair value option, nor is it expected to have a material impact on future periods as the election of this option for our financial instruments is expected to be limited.

Unsecured Notes Payable – The Company has borrowed money from several entities, including shareholders of the Company, with various terms including demand promissory notes. The notes are unsecured and bear interest at rates from 5% to 15% payable at different times.

Convertible Promissory Notes Payable  The Company has convertible promissory notes with a face amount of $75,000 which were issued in conjunction with a private placement in 2007 and bear interest at 12% per annum, are unsecured and are due one year from the date of issuance. One of these notes for $25,000 is in default. The effective interest rates of the notes issued range from 24% to 27%. The notes are convertible into units at $0.05 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $0.075 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. Thus, the notes are convertible into an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Company has the option to redeem the notes at their face value plus accrued interest if the average market price of the Company’s common stock is $0.10 per share for a period of twenty consecutive days. Based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock on the dates the notes were issued, the investors received a beneficial conversion option. The beneficial conversion option was computed as the difference between the fair value and the allocated proceeds of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory notes. The recognition of the beneficial conversion option resulted in a discount to the notes payable that is being amortized over the term of the convertible notes using the effective interest method.  The remaining discount at March 31, 2008 was $1,555. A total of $1,968 and $58,318 was recognized as interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 for the notes issued pursuant to the private placement.

In July 2007, the Company issued a 12% convertible promissory note for $250,000 and five-year warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.075 to Aspen Opportunity Fund LP in exchange for proceeds of $250,000. The note is convertible at a rate of $0.05 per share for 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The investor received a beneficial conversion option resulting in a discount of which $79,329 remains as of March 31, 2008.  A total of $53,003 of the discount was recognized as interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

5% Notes Payable to shareholders – In 2004, the Company executed modified notes payable to several note holders to extend the terms of the notes to be due in 2008 and accrue interest at an annual rate of 5%.

Notes Payable to Vendors – In 2004, vendors agreed to extend the terms of outstanding accounts payables by converting them into promissory notes that are due in 2008 and accrue interest at 5% per annum.

NOTE 5 – SETTLEMENT OBLIGATIONS AND LITIGATION CLAIMS

The Company contended that the packaging labels purchased from Litho-Flexo were defective and could not be used in the packaging of the Company’s products. The Company filed a counterclaim claiming in excess of $100,000 for damages resulting from the use of the defective labels. The Company accrued a $72,625 accrued settlement obligation liability at December 31, 2004.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Administrative Proceeding – U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

One September 27, 2007, the Commission entered an order instituting a proceeding under Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”) naming the Company as a respondent.  This administrative proceeding has file no. 3-12843. The administrative proceeding sought to revoke the Company’s registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) under which the Company files quarterly and annual financial reports.  The Company had not filed nine quarterly and annual financial reports.  All of these reports have been filed as of January 2, 2008.

On January 30, 2008, Administrative Law Judge James Kelly issued an Initial Decision. This decision denied the Division of Enforcement’s Motion for revocation and granted the Company’s motion for summary disposition. The Judge found that the Company violated rules promulgated under the Exchange Act which required the filing of annual and quarterly reports.  In the decision the Judge expressly stated that the sanctions of revocation or trading suspension would not be imposed as such sanctions were not appropriate or necessary and denied the Division’s motion for revocation.  The initial decision dismissed the administrative proceeding. The parties had 21 days to appeal which has expired.  Neither party appealed and on March 6, 2008 the Commission issued a notice making the Initial Decision the Final Decision.

Forward Looking Statements
 
We are including the following cautionary statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions, future results of operations or financial position, made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward looking. In particular, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.
 
The forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by management to have a reasonable basis, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that management's expectation, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Overview

Diatect International Corporation (the “Company”) is a California corporation operating in Utah as a developer and marketer of pesticide products. The Company sells its products to both wholesale distributors and retail customers in the United States.  As of the date of this filing, we have established an internet presence as well to sell directly to the consumer via our website.

Our ability to continue operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and being able to generate net profits in the future. Management believes that these events are likely to occur, even though no assurance thereof can be given.

Results of Operations

Comparison results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $372,964 as compared to $443,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $69,174. The decrease is due to a decrease in sales to the agriculture supply market partially offset by increases in internet based sales.  Management believes that this is not indicative of our anticipated year end results.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $153,673 as compared to $149,325 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $4,348. The decrease is due to decreased sales volumes and increases in shipping costs not recovered from customers.

Marketing and selling expenses were $260,551 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $180,834 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $79,717. The increase is primarily due increases in internet marketing in the three months ended March 31, 2008.


 
16

 

General and administrative expenses were $598,188 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $342,996 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $253,192.  The increase is primarily due to increases in professional, investor relations and accounting related fees and increases in amortization of loan costs.

Other income and expense is comprised of interest expense and gain from termination of debt. Interest expense was $184,759 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $58,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $125,760.  Included in interest expense is the amortization of discount related to the convertible promissory notes in the amount of $90,148 and $9,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2006, respectively.  The remaining increase is due to higher levels of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2008.  Gain from termination of debt was $96,132 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $138,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $42,368.  The gain for the three months ended March 31, 2007 pertains primarily to the settlement of certain tax liabilities at less than the recorded value.  The gain for the three months ended March 31, 2007 pertains to the settlement of a note payable for less than its recorded value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents of $7,983 as of March 31, 2008 are not considered sufficient to support our current levels of operations for the next 12 months.  According, we intend to seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings.

In May 2007 we entered into a Master Lease Line with Gulf Pointe Capital, LLC.  The terms of the lease line are a credit limit of $500,000 that can be used for various new and used tier one production, material handling, computer, technology and fixture related equipment.  To date the company has drawn $220,666 of the available credit.  

In September 2007, we entered into an accounts receivable line of credit agreement with Aspen Opportunity Fund LP, with a credit line of $500,000.  The Company can draw advances against eligible accounts receivable as defined in the agreement in $5,000 increments.  A total of $185,000 has been drawn as of the date of this report on Form 10-Q.

Subsequent to March 31, 2008, we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock and two-year warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of $100,000 in a private placement.

We will need to raise working capital to fund our on-going operations through one or more debt or equity financings. Our efforts to raise capital may not be successful, and even if we are able to obtain additional financing, the terms of any such financing may be unfavorable to us and may be highly dilutive to existing stockholders. Any future debt or equity financings, when and if made, may not be sufficient to sustain our required levels of operations. Any inability to obtain additional cash as needed would have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
