PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


Because the following is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus and our financial statements and related notes carefully.


Our corporate offices are located at 875 S. Industrial Parkway, Heber City, UT 84032.  Our telephone number at that location is (435) 654-4370.  The URL for our Web site is http://www.diatect.com.


The Company


Diatect International Corp. (formerly Applied Earth Technologies, Inc.) was incorporated in California in 1979.  We produce a variety of insecticides, which utilize so called “natural-killing agents”, which we believe are non-toxic to the environment as well as humans and other warm blooded animal life.  Our products are composed of materials that degrade after application leaving the environment unharmed.  Certain of these materials have been used separately for years as adequate alternatives to hazardous chemical insecticides.  By combining these materials together in our products, we have created a synergy that leads to what management believes is a more effective insect control than they can provide individually.


We have obtained five EPA registrations and nine retail labels necessary for the production and marketing of insect control products.  The approval by the EPA of our labels is significant since EPA approval can be a lengthy and expensive process. Due to the long time it took to obtain EPA approval for our labels, we did not actually begin commercial marketing of our products until late 2001.  We have all required EPA approvals necessary to manufacture, market and sell our products.




Recent Developments

Business


On September 10, 2003, we entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Diatomaceous Earth Deposits of Virginia to purchase 90% of our diatomaceous earth mineral claims located at a site in Malheaur County Oregon for $31.1 million.


Diatomaceous Earth Deposits, a Virginia corporation, is co-owned by Michael P. McQuade, an outside director of the Company.  This transaction was approved by a majority of the disinterested members of our Board of Directors.  The mineral claims were acquired in September 2001 after the then current owner failed to renew its claim.  The mineral claims were purchased for the payment of a $970 filing fee.


The purchase agreement provides that Diatect will receive annual payments of approximately $1.9 million per year beginning September 1, 2005 and continuing for a period of fifteen years thereafter.  Other terms will be negotiated prior to the scheduled closing.  A Form 8-K reporting this transaction was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2003.


The definitive agreement was filed on Form 8-K reporting this transaction with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2003.


In October 2003, the shares began trading on the Berlin Stock Exchange under the German trading symbol DI8.BER.  Management believes that being on the Berlin Stock Exchange will facilitate trading of the Company’s shares by German and European investors and should improve liquidity of the common stock overall.

Financing


In November, 2002, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. relating to the sale of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $100,000.  The shares were issued in a private placement that was exempt from registration pursuant to an exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with the issuance of the foregoing shares we granted La Jolla Cove piggy back registration rights whereupon we agreed that so long as La Jolla Cove owned the shares, we would include the shares in our next registration statement.


On December 27, 2002, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. relating to the sale of $150,000 in principal amount of an 8% Convertible Debenture due December 27, 2004 and Warrants.  The Debenture was amended on March 18, 2003 and increased by $100,00 in principal amount making the Debenture total $250,000. The Warrants were amended on March 27, 2003 to limit the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to 2,500,000 shares of common stock.  The Debenture and the Warrant were each further amended on March 27, 2003 to amend certain terms of conversion and on August 6, 2003 to amend the definitions of “Conversion Price” and certain other defined terms. We have relied upon and will rely upon an exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended with respect to the issuan ce of the Debenture, the Warrants and the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and Exercise of the Warrants.  Further, the selling shareholder has represented that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D.  Of the 17,000,000 shares covered by this prospectus, 16,000,000 are the shares issuable to La Jolla Cove upon conversion of the Debenture and exercise of the Warrants.  Set forth below are the terms of the Debenture and Warrants.


Debenture


Conversion; Conversion Price


The holder has agreed that, beginning in the first full calendar month after the Registration Statement to which the prospectus is a part, is declared effective, that it will convert at least five percent (5%), but no more than ten percent (10%) of the face value ($250,000) of the Debenture into common stock (calculated as to each such conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share).  The number of shares of common stock into which the Debenture may be converted is equal to the principal amount of the Debenture being converted multiplied by eleven, minus the product of the Conversion Price, defined below, multiplied by ten times the principal amount of the Debenture being converted divided by the conversion price.  The conversion formula is illustrated as follows:


PA = Principal Amount; CP = Conversion Price



PA x 11 – CP x (10 x PA)

_____________________


CP




-4-







On each date the Debenture is converted, we must pay in cash, any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Debenture being converted not included, at the option of the holder, in the principal amount being of the Debenture being converted on that particular date of conversion, provided however, if the holder does not convert at least five percent (5%) of the face value of the Debenture, holder can not collect interest on the month in which it did not convert the minimum amount.


If the holder elects to convert a portion of the Debenture and does not elect to exercise the related warrants, we may limit the number of common stock that the holder receives upon conversion to the amount of the Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price.  Further, for a period of 120 days following the effective date of the Registration Statement, if the holder elects to convert a portion of the Debenture and on the day that the election is made, the Conversion Price is below $.20, we have the right to prepay at a rate of 125% of that portion of the Debenture that the holder has elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.  If we elect to prepay, holder shall have the right to withdraw its notice of conversion.  For each month, or any part of that the holder withdraws its conversion notice, we have the right to extend the maturity date of th e Debenture by one month.


“Conversion Price” as defined in the Addendum to the Convertible Debenture, dated August 6, 2003, is equal to the lesser of (i) $1.00, or (ii) seventy five percent (75%) of the average of the three lowest Market Prices, defined below, during the one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days prior to holder’s election to convert. “Market Price” is defined as the lowest price of the common stock during any trading day as reported on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.  The Market Price has a direct correlation to the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture in that if the Market Price decreases we will have to issue a greater amount of shares.  As such, the total number of shares that we are obligated to issue upon conversion of the Debenture is essentially limitless.


Maturity; Interest and Prepayment


The Debenture accrues interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum payable monthly in arrears commencing February 15, 2003.  The Debenture may not be prepaid without the written consent of the holder.


Warrants

Exercise Price


The  maximum number of shares of common stock subject to adjustment for splits or recapitalization that may be purchased under the Warrants is therefore 2,500,000.  The holder has agreed that, beginning in the first full calendar month after the Registration Statement to which the prospectus is a part, is declared effective, that it will exercise at least five percent (5%), but no more than ten percent (10%) of the Warrant.  The Warrant may only be exercised concurrently with or subsequent to the conversion of the Debenture.  The exercise price of the Warrants is $1.00.




-5-







Limits of the Conversion of the Debenture an Exercise of the Warrants


The selling shareholder may not convert the Debenture and/or exercise the Warrants, if and to the extent that on any date, the selling shareholder would be deemed the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock.


Registration Rights


In connection with issuance of the Debentures and the Warrants, we agreed to file a Registration Statement registering the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and exercise of the Warrants.  This prospectus is a part of that Registration Statement. We agreed to pay all expenses related to filing the Registration Statement and we agreed to comply with all necessary state securities laws so as to permit the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus.  


We initially agreed to use our best efforts to file the Registration Statement and have it declared effective by the SEC by March 27, 2003, however due to financial constraints we were unable to file the Registration Statement by March 27, 2003.  We did not have the cash necessary to pay the legal and accounting costs associated with the filing of the Registration Statement.  On August 6, 2003 pursuant to the Addendum to the Convertible Debenture, the holder agreed to extend the deadline for having the Registration Statement declared effective to December 4, 2003 and agreed to waive all penalties accrued under Section 3.1(b) of the Debenture.  If the Registration Statement is not filed by December 4, 2003, other than by delay of the SEC or our counsel, we will incur the following penalties under the Debenture.


One, the Conversion Price discount multiplier of 75% is decreased by three percentage points (3%) for each month or partial month occurring after December 4, 2003 that the Registration Statement is not effective or if the Registration Statement has been declared effective but is not thereafter effective.


Two, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the reason for the delay in filing the Registration Statement is the result of delay by either the SEC or the attorneys filing the Registration Statement on behalf of the company, or, if the Registration Statement has been declared effective but is not thereafter effective, the following will also apply in addition to any damages incurred by the holder:





-6-







The holder may demand repayment of one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount of the Debenture, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in cash, at any time prior to the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC or during the period that the Registration Statement is not effective, such repayment to be made within three (3) business days of such demand.  In the event that the Debenture is so accelerated, in addition to the repayment of one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount together with accrued interest, we must immediately issue and pay, as the case may be, to the holder 25,000 shares of common stock and $5,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, during which the principal amount, including interest thereon, remain s unpaid, with the monthly payment amount to increase to $10,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, after the first ninety (90) day period; or


If the holder does not elect to accelerate the Debenture, we must immediately issue or pay, as the case may be, to the holder 25,000 shares of common stock and $5,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, that the Registration Statement is not effective, with the monthly payment amount to increase to $10,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, after the first ninety (90) day period.

RISK FACTORS


You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment in Diatect.  The risks and uncertainties described below are those which are significant, currently know and unique to Diatect which make this offering speculative and risky.   All of these risks may impair our business operations.  If any of the following risks actually occurs our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.  


Risks Related to the Business


We have a limited operating history and there can be no assurance that we will ever make a profit.


We have a limited operating history and we are in our emerging stages.  There can be no assurance that we will continue to develop or will be able to meet our objectives, or that our products will be accepted in the market, or that we will operate at a profit.  We face a number of risks encountered by early-stage companies, including:


the uncertainty of market acceptance of our products;


our need to introduce reliable and robust products and services that meet the demanding needs of customers;


our need to expand our marketing, sales and support organizations, as well as our distribution channels; and


our ability to anticipate and respond to market competition; our need to manage expanding operations.


We have a history of operating losses and will incur losses in the future which may make it necessary to curtail operations.


We may never generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. We have incurred operating losses in each quarter since we commenced operations. We have incurred losses of approximately $17 million since we began our operations.  We expect to continue to devote substantial resources to our research and development and sales and marketing activities. As a result, we expect that we will continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. If we do not raise additional capital our operations may be curtailed.


Because we have limited working capital and have significant outstanding indebtedness we may not be able to raise money to fund our operations and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.


We are in very tight working capital situation.  Our cash requirements have been and will continue to be significant.  We have been forced to raise capital to fund ongoing operations through the private sales of our securities, on terms that have been highly dilutive and which have involved substantial expenses.  





-8-







We expect that we will need to raise additional funds through private debt or equity financing in order to continue to support current operations and develop our business plan.  No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to sustain operations.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our shareholders at that time will be reduced, particularly in view of the dramatic decline in the value of our common stock over the past several months.  We have incurred debt with private lenders and anticipate incurring additional loan obligations to sustain current operations.  The total amount of debt outstanding at September 30, 2003 was $4.3 million.  If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to:


fund then existing operations;


develop new or enhanced services and related products;


continue to develop our business plan; and,


otherwise respond to competitive pressures.  


As a result, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected and we may go out of business.  In our present circumstance, therefore, there is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, absent a substantial increase in revenues.  Our auditors have included a statement regarding our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.  If we are unable to continue operating you may loose your entire investment.


The industry in which we do business is extremely competitive and our business may suffer if we are unable to compete effectively.


Generally, the treatment against pests of any kind is broad in scope, there being more than one way or one product for treatment, eradication, or suppression. We face competition from many domestic and foreign manufacturers, marketers and distributors participating in our marketplace. Competition in our marketplace is based primarily on efficacy, price, safety and ease of application.





-9-







The principal participants in the U.S. insecticide industry are major companies such as Dow, Dupont, Monsanto, Shell Oil and Chevron.  Those companies all have more extensive resources than we do and have established product recognition.  Our ability to compete depends on our ability to develop additional applications for our current products, and to expand our product lines and customer base. We compete principally on the basis of the quality of our products, and the technical service and support given to our customers. There can be no assurance that we will compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. Our inability effectively to compete in our products or services may cause us to go out of business.


If we are unable successfully to position ourselves in smaller niche markets, our business may not survive.


We have attempted to position ourselves in smaller niche markets that have been or are being abandoned by larger chemical companies. These types of markets tend not to attract larger chemical companies due to the smaller volume demand, and larger chemical companies have been divesting themselves of products that fall into such niches. These smaller niche markets require significant and intensive management input and ongoing product research. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these smaller niche markets or, if we are successful in one or more niche markets, that we will continue to be successful in such niche markets. Our inability to be successful in such niche markets could mean that we go out of business.


Our products are subject to governmental regulations and approvals and failure to comply with such regulation could materially alter our ability to continue operations.


Our products are subject to laws administered by federal and state governments, including regulations requiring registration, approval and labeling of our products. Substantially all of our products are subject to EPA registration and re-registration requirements, and are conditionally registered in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Fodenticide Act (FIFRA). Such registration requirements are based, among other things, on data demonstrating that the product will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment when used according to approved label directions. All states where any of our products are used also require registration before they can be marketed or used in that state. Governmental regulatory authorities have required, and may require in the future, that certain scientific data requirements be performed on our products. We, on our behalf and in joint efforts with other registrants, have and are currently furnishing certain required data relative to our products.





-10-







Under FIFRA, the federal government requires registrants to submit a wide range of scientific data to support U.S. registrations. This requirement has significantly increased our operating expenses in such areas as testing and the production of new products. We expect such increases to continue in the future. Because scientific analyses are constantly improving, it cannot be determined with certainty whether or not regulatory authorities may require new or additional tests. While FIFRA good laboratory practice standards specify the minimum practices and procedures which must be followed in order to ensure the quality and integrity of data related to these tests submitted to the EPA, there can be no assurance the EPA will not request certain tests or studies be repeated. In addition, more stringent legislation or requirements may be imposed in the future. We can provide no assurance that any testing approvals or registrations will be granted on a timely basis, if at all, or that our resources will be adequate to meet the costs of regulatory compliance. Our inability to be successful in meeting testing and regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.


We may be subject to environmental liabilities and any significant claim could cause us to go out of business.


The company, its facilities and its products are subject to numerous federal and state laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters and employee health and safety. We continually adapt our manufacturing process to the environmental control standards of the various regulatory agencies. The EPA and other federal and state agencies have the authority to promulgate regulations that could have an impact on our operations. We expend substantial funds to minimize the discharge of materials in the environment and to comply with governmental regulations relating to protection of the environment. Federal and state authorities may seek fines and penalties for violation of the various laws and governmental regulations, and could, among other things, impose liability on us for cleaning up the damage resulting from release of pesticides and other agents into the environment. Our inability to comply with such laws and regulations or a claim for environmental liability could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.


Our use of hazardous materials exposes us to potential liabilities.


Our development and manufacturing of chemical products involve the controlled use of hazardous materials. While we continually adapt our manufacturing process to the environmental control standards of regulatory authorities, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from hazardous or regulated materials. In the event of such contamination or injury, we may be held liable for significant damages or fines. In the event that such damages or fines are assessed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.


Our business may give rise to product liability claims not covered by insurance or indemnity agreements.


Our manufacturing, marketing, distribution and use of chemical products involve substantial risk of product liability claims. A successful product liability claim, which is not insured, may require us to pay substantial amounts of damages. In the event that such damages are paid, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.





-11-







Securing necessary approvals for our products can be difficult, time consuming and costly, and additional obstacles may arise in the future.


The field testing, production and marketing of our products are subject to extensive regulations and numerous government approvals, which vary widely among jurisdictions. Obtaining necessary regulatory approvals can be time consuming and costly, and there can be no guarantee of the timing or granting of approvals. Regulatory authorities can block the sale or import of our products, order recalls, and prohibit planting of seeds containing our technology.  As the insecticide industry continues to evolve, new unanticipated restrictions and burdensome regulatory requirements may be imposed which could harm our results of operations.


Risks Related to our Common Stock


Future sales of our common stock registered for public sale by this registration statement could cause our stock price to plummet, adversely affecting our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.


After this offering, there may be as many as 66,000,000 shares of common stock sold on the public market as compared to approximately 49,000,000 prior to this offering.  If demand to purchase our shares is weak, our stock price could plummet and cause a significant loss of investment.


The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of the Debenture could require us to issue a large number of shares, which will cause dilution to our existing shareholders.


 Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of the Debenture is essentially limitless.  The following is an example of the amount shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of the entire Debenture, based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price, as of December 3, 2003 of $.30.

As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing shareholders and may result in a loss of control of the company.  Although the selling shareholder may not convert their securities and/or exercise their Warrants into more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the selling shareholder from converting and/or exercising some of its holdings and then converting the remainder of its holdings.  In this way, the selling shareholder could sell more than the 5% limit while never holding more than 5% of our outstanding common stock.

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of the Debenture may encourage others to make short sales of our common stock, which could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.  


The Debenture is convertible into shares of our common stock at a 25% discount to the trading price of the common stock.  The downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling shareholder converts and sells common stock could encourage short sales by others.  This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock.


Our Common Stock is Penny Stock as defined in the Exchange Act and an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the shares of the Common Stock.


Our Common Stock is classified as penny stock, which is traded in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board.  As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the shares of the common stock being registered hereby.  In addition, the "penny stock" rules adopted by the Commission under the Exchange Act subject the sale of the shares of the common stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker-dealers.  For example, broker-dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities.  Furthermore, if the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dea ler must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.  The broker-dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities.  Accordingly, the Commission's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of the common stock.


There may be resale restrictions with respect to our common stock.


Various state securities laws impose restrictions on transferring penny stocks and as a result, investors in the common stock may have their ability to sell their shares of the common stock impaired.  For example, the Utah Securities Commission prohibits brokers from soliciting buyers for penny stocks, which makes selling them more difficult.  For details on such instructions, you should check with your broker or the Secretary of State where you desire to transfer the shares.


We are obligated to issue additional securities to the selling security holder if we fail to register our common stock prior to December 4, 2003 and such issuance may cause dilution.


We agreed to use our best efforts to cause this Registration Statement to become effective by December 4, 2003.  We also agreed that, if this Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the specified date, the discount multiplier for calculating the conversion price of the Debenture will decrease by 3% per month or part thereof until the Registration Statement is declared effective.  Additionally, the holder may demand repayment of one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount of the debenture, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in cash, at any time prior to this registration statement being declared effective or during the period that this registration statement is not effective, such repayment to be made within three (3) business days of such demand. In the event that the debenture is so accelerated, in addition to the repayme nt of one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount together with accrued interest as aforesaid, we must immediately issue and pay, as the case may be, to the holder 25,000 shares of our common stock and $5,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, during which the principal amount, including interest thereon, remains unpaid, with the monthly payment amount to increase to $10,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, after the first ninety (90) day period. If, however, the holder does not elect to accelerate the debenture, we must issue or pay, as the case may be, to holder 25,000 shares of our common stock and $10,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, that the Registration Statement is not effective, with the monthly payment amount to increase to $20,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, after the first ninety (90) day period.  If we are required to issue additional shares your position may be diluted.

USE OF PROCEEDS


We have registered these shares because of registration rights granted to the selling shareholder.  We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of common stock to the selling shareholder, however, we received net proceeds of $250,000 from the initial sale of the Debenture and we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants when and if exercised.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Debenture and any proceeds received form the exercise o the Warrants have been and will be used for working capital.


SELLING SHAREHOLDER


The following table sets forth certain information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholder.  Unless otherwise described below, to our knowledge, no selling shareholder nor any of its affiliates has held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus.  The selling shareholder has confirmed to us that it is not a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act, as amended.





-15-







The selling shareholder may offer all or some portion of the shares of the common stock or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and/or exercise of the Warrants.  The selling shareholder identified below may have sold, transferred or disposed of all or a portion of its shares since the date on which they provided the information regarding its holdings in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The number of shares owned and offered hereby by the Selling shareholders is calculated on an assumed conversion price of $.10 per share. These numbers include also 2,500,000 shares of common stock underlying the Warrants.


As of December 1, 2003, there were 48,558,936 shares of our common stock outstanding.  In compliance with the SEC rules, for purposes of calculating the percentage of common stock outstanding, any securities not outstanding which are subject to options, Warrants or conversion privileges are deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding securities owned by the selling shareholder.  Beneficial ownership includes shares of outstanding common stock and shares of common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days from December 3, 2003.  Unless otherwise indicated, the selling shareholder has the sole power to direct the voting and investment over the shares owned by them.   We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling shareholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling shareholder, La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.  The selling shareholder and any of its pledges, assignees, and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices, including prevailing market prices.  There is no assurance that the selling shareholder will sell any or all of the common stock in this offering.  The selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:




-16-






Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; Block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account; an exchange distribution following the rules of the applicable exchange; Privately negotiated transactions; short sales or sales of shares not previously owned by the seller; Broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; A combination of any such methods of sale; or any other lawful method.


Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholder might arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholder in amounts to be negotiated.  If any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, the broker-dealer may receive commission from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated.  The selling shareholder does not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.  


The Securities and Exchange Commission has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensati on of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result of these rules, the selling security holder may find it difficult to sell its shares of common stock.


The selling shareholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be considered to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act for such sales.  An underwriter is a person who has purchased shares from an issuer with a view towards distributing the shares to the public.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be considered to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  




-17-







Because the selling shareholder may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act of 1933, the selling shareholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling shareholder that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to its sales in the market.


We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares in this offering.  However, we will not pay any commissions or any other fees in connection with the resale of the common stock in this offering.


When the selling shareholder notifies us that a material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, disclosing:


the name of the selling shareholder and of the participating broker-dealers,


the number of shares involved,


the price at which the shares were sold,


the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to the broker-dealers, where applicable,


that the broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and


other facts material to the transaction


The selling shareholder will be indemnified by us against certain claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of the shares, or will be entitled to contribution in connection therewith. We will be indemnified by the selling shareholder to a limited extent, against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of the shares, or will be entitled to contribution in connection therewith.


In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

BUSINESS


General


Diatect International Corporation was incorporated in California in May 19, 1979 under the name San Diego Bancorp and owned and operated banks until 1990 when we merged with Environ Guard Holdings.  The merger with Environ Guard was accounted for as a reverse merger with Environ Guard considered as the acquirer for accounting purposes.  After the merger we continued the business of Environ Guard under the name Applied Earth Technologies Inc.  In November 1998, the Company changed its name from Applied Earth Technologies to Diatect International Corporation.  During the last quarter of 2001 Herb Henderson the president retired, and Jay Downs assumed the position and the responsibility of taking the Company from the research phase to market.  In 2002, our primary focus was updating the packaging of our products for specific markets.  We also began a new “ ;Freddy the Fire Ant” marketing campaign, added field representatives, and relocated to Heber City.


We produce a variety of insecticides, which utilize so-called “natural-killing agents”, that are non-toxic to the environment as well as humans and other warm-blooded animal life. Whereas conventional chemical synthesized insecticides can be composed of highly dangerous, toxic chemicals that can seep into the water table and can be washed into rivers and lakes, contaminating water and soil for decades, our products are composed of materials that degrade after application leaving the environment unharmed.  Certain of these materials have been used separately for years as adequate alternatives to hazardous chemical insecticides.  


We refer to our products as “natural killing agents” because “Silicon Dioxide” DE, Diatomaceous Earth, are fresh water diatoms and when viewed under a microscope they have the appearance of a jagged edge.  These edges cut the waxy coating of an insect causing them to bleed to death.  By combining these materials together in our products, we have created a synergy that leads to more effective insect control than they can provide individually.


Our primary focus is smaller niche markets that have been or are being abandoned by larger chemical companies.  For example, the mushroom industry which has a relatively small market.  Our market focus in on safe, non-hazardous, eco-sensitive insecticides. Historically, these smaller markets tend not to attract larger chemical companies due to the smaller volume demand. Larger chemical companies have been divesting themselves of products that fall into such niches because of the cost associated for producing products for such little return.  Further, we have obtained five EPA registrations and nine retail labels necessary for the production and marketing of insect control products.  The approval by the EPA of our labels is significant since EPA approval can be a lengthy and expensive process. Due to the long time it took to obtain EPA approval for our labels, we did not actually begin commercial marketing of our products until late 2001.


Over the past decade, chemical companies have voluntarily dropped the registration of approximately 93 active ingredients and 6,100 pesticide products that were in use at the time of cancellation.  Additionally, since insecticides were first used in the 1940's, more than 600 insect species have developed resistance to many synthetic pesticides, leading the industry to constantly search for new products.


Products


Management believes that there will be a greater demand for environmentally acceptable insecticide products in all agriculture-related industries in the coming future.  Our business plan calls for formulations which are natural in composition, components which, as stand-alone insecticides, are efficient, non-toxic, user and environmentally friendly, yet cost-effective.


The active ingredients used in our products are diatomaceous earth (“DE”), pyrethrin and piperonyl butoxide (“PBO”).  We combine DE, pyrethrin and PBO by using surfactants to ensure a good mix and greatly increase effectiveness and persistence.  The combination of these active ingredients results in a compound much more effective than each ingredient individually.  When using the ingredients together, DE breaks down the chitin, allowing the pyrethrin to act on an insect’s nerve cells directly.  The pyrethrin alone does not evaporate as quickly as it does in combination with DE, and is released for hours rather than minutes therefore enhancing the overall effectiveness of the product.  PBO increases the effectiveness of the pyrethrin by as much as ten times.  The terms “surfactants” is a term to describe substances that pro vide resiliency and stability to thin films and that markedly lower the surface tension of liquids, thus permitting easier bubble formation, an integral part of the foam manufacturing chemistry.  The term “chitin” refers to the waxy coating on the outside of an insect.





-19-






Diatect has five registered labels approved by the EPA.  Under the EPA labels, we manufacture and market nine brands of insecticides.  The following is a list of our product offerings:


Diatect II - Sold in the agriculture market, which according to the American Crop Protection Association is the largest end-user market for insecticides markets as “Diatect II Multi-Purpose Insect control.”  Diatect II is used in a wide variety of areas, e.g., edible growing crops, animal quarters and livestock.


Diatect III - Distributed and sold in the commercial; industrial; and government markets as “Diatect III Insect Control.”  This insecticide is approved by the EPA for use in a wide variety of areas, e.g., schools, parks, rest stops, roadways, childcare facilities, rest homes, eating establishments, all public places, etc.


Diatect V - A product that was designed and formulated to meet the needs of the organic food industry which requires insecticides with no synthetic ingredients.  Diatect V is sold and distributed to the commercial grower, homeowner, and gardener.


Results Ant & Insect - A domestic homeowner product which controls ants, aphids, caterpillars, leafhoppers, lice, mites, mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects.


Results Fireant – When applied directly to fire ant mounds and provides quick, effective control in eliminating these aggressive, dangerous pests.  According to a study conducted by a research department at Texas A & M University, each year approximately 10,000 Americans seek hospital treatment for venomous fire ant stings and two of those people die.  Unlike bees, fire ants can sting repeatedly and they have very aggressive behavior.


Results Indoor - Controls roaches, fleas, ants, silverfish, crickets, bedbugs, box elder bugs, and other insects.  It is designed for use under sinks, behind furniture, in air vents, under tile, and in stairwells and basements.


Results Tomato & Garden - Protects garden plants from many varieties of worms, beetles, leafhoppers, stink bugs, squash vine borers, and other insects.


Results Rose & Floral - Protects azaleas, begonias, African violets, chrysanthemums, dogwood, elm, roses, tulips, and many other plants.  It also destroys insects such as mealybugs, fruit flies, white flies, and caterpillars that ruin the beauty of garden flowers and plants.


Results Pet Powder - A product for use on pet pests for homeowners, kennels, boarding facilities, veterinary clinics and other animal facilities.

Regulatory Approval


In general all insecticides, purchased in stores today must have EPA approved labels that disclose various required information about the product.  These insecticide labels provide an extensive amount of information and indicate that the insecticide has been tested, evaluated and regulated by the EPA.  In fact, no insecticides can be legally registered, much less sold, without going through these procedures.


As previously stated, all new insecticides must be "registered" with the EPA, which specifies the conditions of its use as part of its mandate under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act ("FIFRA").  An insecticide user or manufacturer who fails to comply with FIFRA restrictions risks enforcement actions from both the EPA and state authorities.  Our products comply with FIFRA restrictions and are registered with the EPA.


The cost of developing a new chemical for registration has risen drastically in recent years, partially because of expensive tests required showing that the chemical poses low environmental and human health risks.  The typical pesticide is put through more than 6000 tests and approval can take more than eight to ten years, and can cost up to 25 million dollars.  We have spent approximately $18.6 million obtaining EPA approval of our labels.  Once approved, labeling instructions must be followed for proper use, handling, storage and disposal. Obtaining necessary regulatory approval is time consuming and costly, and there can be no guarantee of the timing or success in obtaining approvals.


Suppliers and Customers


Three of the main ingredients in our products are diatomaceous earth (“DE”), PBO, and Pyrethrin.  Our supplier of DE is Cellite Corporation, Valent BioScience Corp supplies us with Pyrethrin.  Management has good relationships with its suppliers and believes that these suppliers are stable and does not anticipate any disruption in a steady supply of materials.  While all of our main ingredients are readily available, a disruption to our supply of materials could have an adverse impact on our operating results.


We do not sale directly to the end user of our products.  Our three largest customers are Ace Hardware, Handy Hardware and Weber Ellis.


Marketing and Sales


Our sales and marketing strategies revolve principally around developing a reputable brand identity and ongoing customer relationships, in addition to continuously innovating and improving the quality of our products.  We have several ad campaigns including “Freddy the Fire Ant” and “Got Bugs”.


Employees


As of the date of this prospectus, we had sixteen full time employees.


Reports to Security Holders – Where you can find additional information


We are a public company and we file our annual, quarterly and special reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  You may read and copy any document we file at the SEC’s public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You can request copies of these documents by writing to the SEC and paying a fee for the copying cost.  Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for more information about the operation of the public reference room.  Our SEC filings are also available to the public at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.


This Prospectus is only part of a registration statement on Form SB-2 that we have filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore omits certain information contained in the registration statement.  We have also filed exhibits to the registration statement that are excluded from this Prospectus, and you should refer to the applicable exhibit or schedule for a complete description of any statement referring to any contract or other document.  You may inspect or obtain a copy of the registration statement, including the exhibits and schedules, as described in the previous paragraph.

Competition in the Insecticide Industry


The principal participants in the U.S. insecticide industry are major companies such as Dow, DuPont, Monsanto, Shell Oil and Chevron.  Those companies all have more extensive resources than we do and have established product recognition.  Competition is based primarily on price and efficacy, which is generally measured by crop yield and overall cost of use to the grower. In addition, attracting and retaining qualified personnel, developing production and marketing expertise, developing proprietary products or processes and obtaining regulatory approvals on a timely basis are essential to establishing a competitive market position.


While our products are primarily used by smaller organic farmers, many of the large chemical pesticide companies are also developing products that they believe are less environmentally harmful than traditional chemical pesticides and that may directly compete with our products.  We may be unable to compete successfully against our current competitors or new market entrants may develop products that compete directly with our products and are more effective, less expensive or more widely accepted than our products.





DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY


Diatect International Corporation, is located at 875 South Industrial Parkway, Heber City, Utah 84032.  This facility is a 20,254 square foot class C masonry office/warehouse building on 1.928 acres in the Heber City, Utah Industrial Park.  On January 17, 2003, we completed negotiations of the terms for the purchase of this facility at a cost of approximately $875,500 (including closing costs).  Under terms of our financing agreement, we will pay approximately $9,200 a month in interest only payments at an annual interest rate of 13%.


During September 2001, the Company acquired title to unpatented mining claims on a section of land in Malheur County, Oregon.  This property, with proven and probable reserves of diatomaceous earth, according to geological assessments performed in prior years, is recorded at cost on the Company's balance sheet.

Employment Agreements


Jay Downs signed an employment agreement effective January 2001 for a term of three years at an annual salary of $120,000 per year, with a signing bonus of 500,000 options for the purchase of our common stock at $0.10 per share.  At the filing date of this report, none of the 500,000 options have been exercised.  The agreement includes provisions for bonus pay based on 1% of gross sales receipts as determined on a quarterly basis.  Accrued bonuses for 2001 and 2002 pursuant to his agreement were paid in January 2003.


David Andrus signed an employment agreement effective July 1, 2001 for a term of three years at an annual salary of $90,000 per year, with a signing bonus of 500,000 shares of our restricted common stock.  The agreement includes provisions for a reasonable automobile allowance and pay based on 1% of gross sales receipts as determined on a quarterly basis.  Accrued bonuses for 2001 and 2002 pursuant to his agreement were paid in January 2003.


On August 25, 2000, we executed a retainer agreement with John L. Runft to act as our legal counsel.  The retainer agreement expired in 2001 and we did not execute a new agreement.  Mr. Runft received a signing bonus of an option to acquire 500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.06 per share.  The options were originally to vest over a three-year period.  At December 31, 2001, the vesting provisions were modified to permit immediate exercise of the remaining unvested options.  At the filing date of this report, all the remaining options have been exercised.


George Henderson, our former president, resigned in September 2001.  His employment agreement was terminated pursuant to a settlement of the balance of our obligations under the agreement.  The settlement consisted of $50,000 cash and 500,000 shares of our restricted common stock.


Stock Option Plans


In November 2002, we adopted the Diatect International Corporation 2002 Stock Option and Award Plan (the "Plan") under which 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock are available for issuance with respect to awards granted to officers, directors, management and other employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries.  As of December 31, 2002, we had issued options for 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to officers of the company.  None of these options have become vested and therefore are unexercisable at December 31, 2002.





-27-







This Plan superceded the 1995 Stock Option Plan, which was initiated in order to aid the company in maintaining and developing a management team, and also attracting qualified officers and employees.  A total of 3,000,000 shares of stock were subject to, or issued pursuant to the terms of the plan.  


We estimate the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used during the year ended December 31, 2001: dividend yield of zero percent; expected volatility of thirty percent; risk-free interest rate of six percent.  The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted to employees and shareholders in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $0.13 and $0.08 per option, respectively.  The following assumptions were used during the year during the year ended December 31, 2002: dividend yield of zero percent: expected volatility of 98.37%; risk-free interest rate of five percent.  Compensation cost charged to operations was $17,279 and $18,890 during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  


Finance fees charged to other expenses was $66,010 and legal fees charged to operations was $3,985 during the year ended December 31, 2001.


Following is a summary of the status of these performance-based options during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


Except as indicated below, and for the periods indicted, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, since September 2001, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we are a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, and in which any director or executive officer, or any shareholder who is known by us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest.


We have notes payable to 29 shareholders totaling $1,968,681 and $1,633,851 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Please see footnote 4 to the interim financial statements or footnote 5 to the year end financial statements for a more detailed description of the notes payable.

We have employment contracts to pay our president and vice-president of operations annual compensation in the amounts of $120,000 and $90,000 respectively.  During January 2001, our president received as a signing bonus of options to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.  Upon his appointment to the position of CEO, he received an additional bonus of 750,000 shares of our restricted common stock, valued at $0.08 per share, for additional compensation of $60,000.

Diatomaceous Earth Deposits, a Virginia corporation is co-owned by Michael P. McQuade, an outside director of the Company. This transaction was approved by a majority of the disinterested members of our Board of Directors.  The mineral claims were acquired in September 2001 after the then current owner failed to renew its claim.  The mineral claims were purchased for the payment of a $970 filing fee.


The purchase agreement provides that Diatect will receive annual payments of approximately $1.9 million per year beginning September 1, 2005 and continuing for a period of fifteen years thereafter. Other terms will be negotiated prior to the scheduled closing. A Form 8-K reporting this transaction was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2003.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


General


As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares no par value, per share of common stock of which 48,558,936 shares are issued and outstanding.  The following is a description of our securities taken from provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and by-laws, each as amended.  


Common Stock


All shares of common stock have one vote and vote together as a single class.  Voting rights are not cumulative, and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they chose to do so, elect all of the Directors.  Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our assets, after the payment of our liabilities, will be distributed pro rata to the holders of the common stock.


Holders of common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.  We have not paid any cash dividends on the common stock, and it is unlikely that any dividends will be declared in the foreseeable future.  


Limitation On Liability And Indemnification Matters


Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by California law.  In addition, our bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and officers, and allow us to indemnify our other employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law.  At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent where indemnification will be required or permitted.  We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for indemnification.  If we permit indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act to directors, officers or controlling persons under these provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act an d is unenforceable.

In November, 2002, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. relating to the sale of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $100,000.  The shares were issued in a private placement that was exempt from registration pursuant to an exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with the issuance of the foregoing shares we granted La Jolla Cove piggy back registration rights whereupon we agreed that so long as La Jolla Cove owned the shares, we would include the shares in our next registration statement.




-33-







On December 27, 2002, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. relating to the sale of $150,000 in principal amount of an 8% Convertible Debenture due December 27, 2004 and Warrants.  The Debenture was amended on March 18, 2003 and increased by $100,00 in principal amount making the Debenture total $250,000. The Warrants were amended on March 27, 2003 to limit the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to 2,500,000 shares of common stock.  The Debenture and the Warrant were each further amended on March 27, 2003 to amend certain terms of conversion and on August 6, 2003 to amend the definitions of “Conversion Price” and certain other defined terms. We have relied upon and will rely upon an exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended with respect to the issuance of the Debentur e, the Warrants and the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and Exercise of the Warrants.  Further, the selling shareholder has represented that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D.  Of the 16.000,000 shares covered by this prospectus 15,000,000 are the shares issuable to La Jolla Cove upon conversion of the Debenture and exercise of the Warrants.  Set forth below are the terms of the Debenture and Warrants.


Holders


At December 3, 2003, we had approximately 1,170 shareholders of record based on information provided by our transfer agent.


Dividends


Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for distribution, subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may be issued and outstanding. We have not paid any dividends on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.  The future payment of dividends, if any, on the common stock is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial condition, and other relevant factors.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


General


Our founders envisioned establishing a business venture built upon the creation, development, production and marketing of a quality line of natural, environmentally-friendly insecticide products.





-34-







In 2001, we reorganized management, relocated administration and production in Heber City, Utah, expanded production capability and hired a marketing team. In 2002, we focused our marketing efforts on sales of our FireAnt product to retail outlets. To date, we have increased our customer base and market awareness of our products, and increased sales and support staff in preparation for major marketing efforts in 2003.


Going Concern


Our auditors have issued their report which contains an explanatory paragraph as to the our ability to continue as a going concern.  We estimate that we will require $2,500,000 in order to satisfy our working capital needs and service existing debt and thereby avoid a future going concern.  We are currently addressing our liquidity issue by the following actions:  Increase in sales through new marketing campaigns and we also anticpate offering two new products in the first quarter of 2004.  We anitcipate that our increase selling efforts along with the introduction of new products will increase our revenues.  We are also evaluating our operations in an effort to reduce operating costs.  We are continually seeking investment capital through the public markets.  However, there is no guarantee that any of these strategies will enable us to meet its obliga tions for the foreseeable future.  Please see our discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources.



Results of Operations


Year ended December 31, 2002 compared to year ended December 31, 2001


Revenues.  We had revenues of $769,600 and cost of sales of $346,301 with a gross profit of $423,299 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to revenues of $570,904 and cost of sales of $425,958 with a gross profit of $144,946 for the prior year period.  The increase in revenues and compared to prior year reflects the success of our increased marketing efforts which has resulted in an increase in our customer base.  We believe the increase in sales is indicative of a positive trend, which we expect to continue through the next fiscal year.  We anticipate that our cost of sales as a percentage of revenues will decrease as our sales volume rises.  However, we believe we will not be able to accurately project our cost of sales as a percentage of revenues until we have established a consistent revenue stream over extended and comparable periods of time.


Operating Expenses.  For our fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, we had total reported operating expenses of $2,233,865 compared to $1,447,578 for prior year, an overall increase of $786,287.  The overall increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to increases of other operating expenses of $228,569, royalty expense of $113,623, advertising and promotion expense of $139,939, consulting expense of $85,285, bad debt expense of $110,916, and salaries, wages and benefits of $606,889.  These increases were offset by decreases of $99,369 in executive compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses of $226,443, and distribution expense of $190,918.  The decrease in executive compensation is a result of the restructuring that occurred from 2001 to 2002.  The decrease in depreciation was the result of a change in the distributors relationship.  The increase in salaries, wages and benefits expenses is due to a decision to restructure the business strategy for the sales force and maintaining certain administrative duties in-house.  The royalty expense is a fee from the purchase of the “Results and Diatect” product lines from National Diatect, Inc. in 2000.  See Note 1 for additional information on the transaction with National Diatect, Inc.  The increase in other operating expenses is related to increased sales and production staffing requirements to meet certain marketing demands for our product line.  The increase in consulting fees is due to certain fees spent on our transfer agent and outside help in obtaining investors.  


Other Income and Expenses.  Other expenses reported for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $176,269 consisting primarily of interest expense of $406,512 donations of $23,414 offset by $253,657 in gain from termination of debt. Other Income reported for the year ended December 31, 2001 totaled $251,210, consisting of $611,252 in gain from termination of debt, offset by interest and finance fees of $355,676, and miscellaneous expense of $4,366.  





-35-







During 2002, we obtained releases of certain contingent liabilities in the amount of $253,657, recorded as gain from termination of debt.  The debt was terminated due to the tolling of the statute of limitations.  During 2001, a former supplier of ours agreed to write off a balance owed them in the amount of $8,100, and we declared a note payable and the interest accrued thereon as invalid and void, recorded as the $611,252 as gain from termination of debt.


Because we still have a number of claims against us, we expect to continue to incur interest and finance fees and litigation settlement expenses during the upcoming fiscal year. We cannot at this time accurately project what these expenses will be.


We experienced a net loss of $1,986,835 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $1,051,422 for the year ended December 31, 2001.   In 2001 we experienced product returns due to changes we made in our distribution system which resulted in a loss of $176,176.  The basic loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $0.05, based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 40,673,014 shares. The basic loss per share in 2001 was $0.03 per share based on the weighted average of 30,824,930 shares outstanding.  We cannot predict at this time whether or not we will experience any gains or losses due to settlement of debt or other matters in the 2003 fiscal year.

Nine Months ended September 30, 2003 compared to September 30, 2002


Liquidity and Capital Resources


During the year ended December 31, 2002, our liquidity was substantially derived from the issuance of notes payable and the issuance of common stock for cash. Although revenues increased, cash used in operations far exceeded revenues. We hope that the next twelve months will prove the effectiveness of our marketing and distribution efforts and anticipate increases in production and sales will bring us closer to profitability.


At December 31, 2002, we had current assets of $2,182,018 consisting of cash of $4,509 cash, cash in escrow of $400,000 restricted for the purchase of our new facility in Heber City, Utah, accounts receivable of $352,643, an employee receivable of $1,270, prepaid interest of $108,048, prepaid expenses of $56,399, and inventories of $1,259,149, and current liabilities of $4,735,981 for a working capital deficit of $2,553,963. The employee receivable consists of cash loaned to various employees.  The Company has been recouping the money from the employees over a period of nine months through payroll deductions.  At December 31, 2002, we had property, plant and equipment assets totaling $324,637, net of depreciation, and other assets of $1,764,822, consisting primarily of our investment in EPA labels, net of amortization of $1,736,322, plus deposits of $28,500.


Cash used in our operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $1,407,399 compared to $934,394 for the prior year. In 2002 and 2001, our operations were funded primarily by loans, issuance of common stock and sales of our products.


Our cash flow used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2002, was $220,746 and paid for the purchase of property, plant and equipment. In the prior year, cash flows used by investing activities was $134,705, consisting of a deposit of $28,500 on our new facility in Heber City, and $106,205 paid for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.


Our cash flows from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2002 was $1,631,766, consisting of $254,048 from a line of credit, $722,065 from the sale of common stock, $50,000 payment of a stock subscription and $693,943 from the issuance of notes payable, offset by $2,000 in settlement payments, $7,759 in payments on a lease payable and $78,531 in payments on existing notes. Our cash flows from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2001 was $1,066,603, consisting of $144,000 from the sale of our common stock and $1,074,000 from the issuance of notes payable, offset by $20,730 in settlement payments and $130,667 in payments on existing notes.


On January 15, 2003, we borrowed $750,000 from George Ann Pope Charitable Trust through a short term note due on July 15, 2003. The note is secured by an inventory security agreement whereby $0.25 of each dollar of gross proceeds from the sale of inventory is allocated and set aside in a special account for continuing security until the note is paid and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. We issued 375,000 shares of our common stock as additional consideration for the loan.


We believe that in 2003, we will increase revenues from operations as we continue to move from the development stage of our products to a full marketing and sales program. With our products in the marketplace, we anticipate revenues to offset ongoing expenses. We are uncertain, however, as to whether there will be sufficient revenue to cover past obligations, therefore, we will continue to attempt to make offers in settlement and compromise on such obligations in an effort to reduce our contingent and other liabilities.


We lack working capital and that affects our ability to effectively market our products. We believe two of the largest and most important markets for our products are the agricultural and home and garden markets. When we obtain sufficient working capital, we plan to conduct affordable advertising and maintain a sales force that can effectively reach these markets. Accordingly, although we anticipate more revenue from the sale of our products than we have received in the past, we will not be as profitable without additional cash to fund our advertising and marketing campaign.


Revenues


During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, our revenues were $583,811 and $587,133, respectively, with costs of sales of $244,843 and $164,718 with gross profits of $338,968 and $422,415. During the three months ending September 30, 2003 and 2002 our revenues were $241,084 and $424,450 respectively. A third quarter decrease in comparative revenue of $183,367 is attributed to two factors. The one time return of product from the Future Farmers of America that was originally booked in the third quarter of 2002. Also the fundraising groups have the option of fulfilling the signed contract in the fall or the spring, many have opted to start in the spring rather than the fall because of allowable time in the spring. Our fall revenue is carried into the first half of 2004. The increase in the cost of sales is due to the increase of promotional product being distributed in conjun ction with marketing efforts. In the current year, the company has begun to broaden its customer base in the government and agricultural areas to diversify our revenues. Brand awareness has been very promising for future growth of Diatect’s Results Brands.

Operating Expenses.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, total operating expenses were $2,137,086 and $1,683,055, respectively, for total operating losses of $1,798,118 and $1,260,640. The majority of this increase is related to the increased in promotions and advertising (especially due to increased marketing efforts), as well as additional consulting and travel expenses related to those marketing efforts. We continue to market and advertise our products heavily in the southern part of the U.S. and in doing so, we had an increase in salaries, wages and benefits to $869,962, which is attributed to a solid customer base sales and administrative staffing needed to meet current demands.


Other Income and Expenses.


On September 10, 2003 we closed on the “Sale and Purchase Agreement” with Diatomaceous Earth Deposits of Virginia, LLC for $31,125,600 in the form of a Promissory Note, with 8% interest per annum and the first payment not due until September 1, 2005. After careful consideration and given the early stage of the transaction we have opted to realize $15,562,800 on the balance sheet while reserving all further gain for realization as future revenue.


Other income/expenses showed a gain of $14,850,381 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 principally because of the inclusion of $15,562,800 of income from the aforementioned mining property sale. Other income/expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was a loss of $357,630 substantially due to expenditures on interest expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we had net income of $13,052,263 and net income per share of $0.27 in contrast to the prior year corresponding period’s loss of $1,618,270 and net loss per share of $0.04.


For the period ended September 30, 2003, we requested the return of our Results Fire Ant product from the Future Farmers of America chapters in the State of Texas.  This was the first year of our fundraiser with the Future Farmers of America chapters in the State of Texas and we over estimated the amount of product that should have been shipped. Further, as a result of certain administrative changes with the management of Future Farmers of America, we had concerns regarding unsecured product storage conditions utilized by this organization. As such we requested the return of the product and we recorded a loss on distribution and product returns of $141,172.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


In the nine months ended September 30, 2003, our liquidity was substantially derived from the issuance of notes payable. Cash used in operations exceeded revenues. We continue to anticipate increases in market development and sales, which will bring us closer to profitability.


At September 30, 2003, we had current assets of $1,268,615, consisting principally of $166,255 in accounts receivable and $1,068,892 in inventory. We had current liabilities of $5,423,024, consisting primarily of trade accounts payable of $1,331,731, a line of credit of $113,976, interest payable of $456,685, and current notes payable of $2,693,268. Long term debt of $847,000, consists of the mortgage note payable for the purchase of our facilities. Accordingly, we have a working capital deficit of $4,154,409. At September 30, 2003, we had property, plant and equipment totaling $1,146,123, net of depreciation, and other assets of $17,302,622, consisting primarily of our $1,736,322 investment in EPA labels and our note receivable of $15,562,800.


For the period ended September 30, 2003, we requested the return of our Results Fire Ant product from the Future Farmers of America chapters in the State of Texas.  There were several reasons for the request, first, this was the first year of our fundraiser with the Future Farmers of America chapters in the State of Texas and we over estimated the amount of product that should have been shipped.  Secondly, we had concerns regarding the storage of the product during the summer months.  As such we requested the return of the product and we recorded a loss on distribution and product returns of $141,172.


Cash flows from financing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 totaled $498,788, consisting of cash received from the sale of common stock, proceeds from newly issued notes payable, offset by payments on previously issued notes payable and line of credit. Non-cash financing activities included the issuance of common stock for notes payable, interest and services, issuance of debt for accounts payable and securing a mortgage for our facilities totaling $847,000.







-38-






As a result of our past production increase and delays in scheduled shipments, we currently have over 677,556 finished product units with a potential wholesale value of over $3.9 million. We are continuing to market our products into the wholesale; retail and commercial outlets which is expected to continue to absorb the excess inventory.


During the next 12 months, we intend to continue our marketing campaign for Results and Diatect lines and focus on the retention of existing customers and the acquisition of new customers. In addition, we plan to continue to invest in expanding our product offerings, improving our infrastructure and focusing on customer care. We believe that the proceeds from the Convertible Debenture, our available cash and anticipated future cash flows will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated liquidity needs for the next twelve months and beyond. However, any projections of future cash inflows and outflows and any projections of the future state of the economy, which may have a direct effect on our cash inflows, are subject to substantial uncertainty. If we determine that we need to raise additional capital in the future, we may seek to sell additional equity or borrow funds. The sale of addit ional equity would result in dilution to our shareholders. We cannot assure you that any of these financing alternatives will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise or borrow any needed additional capital, we could be required to significantly alter our operating plan, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.


Critical Account Policies


The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, contingencies and litigation. While the application of GAAP involves the exercise of varying degrees of judgment, the aforementioned four areas require more judgment relative to the others.


The Company bases it estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company, based on its ongoing review, will make adjustments to its judgments and estimates where facts and circumstances dictate. Historically, actual results have not significantly deviated from those determined using the estimates described above.


The Company believes the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.


ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES (BAD DEBTS)


An allowance for uncollectible trade receivables is recorded based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis, and any specific known troubled accounts.


The Company reviews all accounts receivable considered at risk on a quarterly basis. The review primarily consist of an analysis based upon current information available about the customer, such as financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings, the current economic environment, as well as prior history. Using this information, the Company determines the expected cash flow for the receivable and calculates a recommended estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts where the loss is probable, the Company records a specific reserve.


The Company records an unallocated reserve that is calculated by applying a write-off rate to the total portfolio, excluding accounts that have been specifically reserved. This write-off rate is based upon write-off history and is adjusted to reflect current economic conditions.


SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill and intangible assets be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. Application of the impairment test to our EPA labels and other intangible assets requires judgment and the determination of fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of EPA labels include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or label impairment for each reporting period.


We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, requires that an estimated loss from a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. We evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations.


LEGAL CONTINGENCIES


The Company records reserves for legal contingencies when the information available to the Company indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Predicting the outcomes of claims and litigation and estimating related costs and exposures involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual costs to vary materially from estimates. In addition, the Company regularly monitors its exposure to the loss contingencies associated with these matters and may from time to time change its predictions with respect to outcomes and its estimates with respect to related costs and exposures. It is possible that material differences in actual outcomes, costs and exposures relative to current predictions and estimates, or material changes in such predictions or estimates, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's fi nancial condition, results of operations or cash flows.



CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


We have had no disagreements with our certified public accountants with respect to accounting practices or procedures or financial disclosure.

Heber City, UT


Independent Auditor’s Report


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diatect International Corp. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for 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 audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diatect International Corp. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 2, the Company has significant operating losses, negative equity, unsatisfied collection judgments and delinquencies in repaying its debt obligations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DIATECT INTERNATIONAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002



NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Diatect International Corp. (formerly Applied Earth Technologies, Inc.) (formerly San Diego Bancorp) was incorporated in California in 1979 as a bank holding corporation.  During 1986, the Company liquidated its subsidiaries and became a dormant "shell" corporation.


On August 22, 1996, the Company changed its name from San Diego Bancorp to Applied Earth Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the Company's principal business activities, which primarily consist of developing and marketing pesticide products.  The Company later became informed that another corporation already had been authorized to use the name Applied Earth Technologies, Inc. and approval of this name had been granted in error.  In response to this information, the Company changed its name to Diatect International Corp. ("Diatect" or "the Company") on June 5, 1998.


The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries consist of Enviro Guard Corporation, Diatect International, Inc. and D.S.D., Inc.  The Company's subsidiaries are inactive.


Magic International, Inc.

On May 24, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase Magic International, Inc. ("Magic") in exchange for $3,000 cash, effective payment of an outstanding obligation in the amount of $4,050 and 200,000 shares of Diatect International Corporation's common stock.  This transaction was valued at $27,050.  At the time of the transaction, the authorized level of the Company's capitalization did not permit an issuance of 200,000 shares of stock. The Company increased its authorized capital, issued the aforementioned stock and finalized the acquisition in March 2000, at which time Magic became a wholly owned subsidiary.  During 2002, the Company recognized an impairment write-off of $27,050 since Magic had become dormant.  Magic was subsequently transferred to IXG.  See Note 14.


National Diatect, Inc.

In July 2000, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase the inventory of National Diatect, Inc. in a transaction which requires the issuance of 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, payment of future royalties in the amount of $120,000 payable at the rate of $0.10 per pound of certain products and assumption of a note payable in the amount of $110,000 (bearing interest at 12% and collateralized by inventory and equipment).  The Company has issued 400,000 shares and the agreement has been ratified by the board of directors to a mutually agreed upon reduced note payable balance of $70,419.  The balance owing on this note is $43,306 as of December 31, 2002.  See Note 13.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


This summary of significant accounting policies of Diatect International Corp. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.


Accounting Method

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of the intercompany accounts and transactions.  Wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are listed in Note 1.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investment (or short-term debt) purchased with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Cash in Escrow

The cash in escrow originated with funds originally loaned to the Company for a building purchase.


Accounts Receivable

The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts.  On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, bases on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.


The Company reserves the right to accrue interest on trade receivables 30 days after invoice date.  A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received by the Company for 30 days.  At that time, the Company will contact the account representative with a payment reminder.  A second contact with warning of collection procedures will follow if payment has not been received by the Company for 60 days.  If payments still have not been received by the Company for 90 days, a third contact will be made with a response required within two weeks from the contact date.  If no response is received pursuant to the third contact, the account will be turned over for collection.  


Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of packaging materials, raw materials and finished product and are valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market.


Property and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost including the allocable purchase price applicable to the respective assets of purchased subsidiaries.  All expenditures for improvements, replacements and additions are added to the asset accounts at cost.


Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged against earnings as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations when depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed.    Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $69,534 and $12,765, respectively.  Depreciation is provided for by the use of straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets which ranged from 3 to 10 years.  The estimated useful lives by category of depreciable asset is listed as follows:

Computer equipment & software

3 to 5 years

Office furniture & equipment

5 years

Manufacturing equipment

5 to 10 years


Depletion is computed using the unit-of-production method, for any mining property placed in production.  At December 31, 2002, the Company has no mining properties in production.





F-8






Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related direct costs over the fair value of net assets acquired as of the date of the acquisition.  The Company periodically reviews its goodwill to assess recoverability based on projected undiscounted cash flows from operations.  Impairments are recognized in operating results when a permanent diminution in value occurs.  Goodwill was fully impaired during 2002.


Intangible Assets

Prior to 2002 most intangible assets are amortized over the remaining useful life on a straight-line basis, which range from 15 to 17 years.  EPA labels were amortized on a straight-line basis over a 15-year life, commencing with the beginning of product sales.  Amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2001 was $283,212. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142. Application of the nonamortization provision of SFAS No. 142 resulted in an increase in net income of approximately $280,000 during the year ended December 31, 2002.


Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.  The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time they were outstanding. Outstanding options were not included in the computation of net loss per share because they would be antidilutive.  The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end.  A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.


At December 31, 2002, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $5,170,560, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes based on an average tax rate of 34%.  SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  At December 31, 2002, a valuation allowance for $5,170,560 of the net deferred tax asset was recorded because management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset.  The following table shows the calculation of the deferred tax asset with the offsetting valuation allowance.

At December 31, 2002, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15,000,000, which will expire in the years 2001 through 2022.


Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs", which was adopted during fiscal 2001.  The impact of adopting EITF No. 00-10 was to increase revenues and cost of sales by approximately $90,496 and $25,543 in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively.  All amounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified for the year ended December 31, 2001 to reflect this adoption.


Reclassification

In 2001, certain amounts from prior periods which were previously reported as extraordinary items have been reclassified to cost of goods sold to conform to the current period presentation.  Also, certain amounts from prior periods which were previously reported as other income (expenses) have been reclassified to operating expenses.  These reclassifications have resulted in no changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit or net losses presented.


Revenue Recognition Policy

During 2002 and 2001, the Company’s revenues originated from sales of products.  Revenues from sales of product are recognized when the product is shipped freight on board and title passes to customers.  Sales credits and price concessions are treated as a reduction of revenues.  The customer may return the product at any time and receive credit for the full amount, however, the customer must pay the shipping fees to return the product.  The Company did not have a return and allowance account at December 31, 2002 and 2001 because of the lack of extensive sales history to be used to establish an estimate for returns and allowances.


Significant Customers

The Company is a wholesale supplier of products and grants credit to its customers, a substantial portion of which are retailers of agricultural products throughout the country.  During the year ended December 31, 2002, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of gross revenues.  During the year ended December 31, 2001, $146,184 of the Company’s gross revenues were derived from one customer.


Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the raw materials, labor and overhead of products sold, inbound and outbound shipping charges, and packaging supplies.


Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense consists primarily of general expenses not individually material to the financial statements and not otherwise classified.


Advertising and Promotion Expenses

Advertising and promotion expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in the design, development, and printing of Company literature and marketing materials and expenses incurred in efforts to promote the Company’s product.  The Company expenses all advertising and promotion expenditures as incurred.  The Company’s advertising expenses were $139,939 for the year ended December 31, 2002.


Product Warranties

The Company sold the majority of its products to distributors along with replacement warranties.  Warranty expense is included in cost of sales.


Research and Development

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.  The cost of intellectual property purchased from others that is immediately marketable or that has an alternative future use is capitalized and amortized as intangible assets.  Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life, typically 10 years, of the related asset.  The Company periodically reviews its capitalized patent costs to access recoverability based on the projected undiscounted cash flows from operations.  Impairments are recognized in operating results when a permanent diminution in value occurs.  The Company incurred no research and development cost during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.


Compensated Absences

Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days and personal days off, depending on job classification, length of service, and other factors. The Company accrues vacation expense throughout the year and, if employees do not utilize their allotment, the Company will cash out all unused pay on the last calendar day of the year.  At December 31, 2002, the Company included $10,738 in other accrued liabilities for compensated absences.  The Company had incurred no liability for compensated absences at December 31, 2001.





F-9






Estimates

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.  Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," include cash, advances to affiliate, trade accounts receivable, investment in securities available for sale, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and short-term borrowings.  All instruments other than the investment in securities available-for-sale are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 2002.  The Company has no investment in securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2002.


Derivative Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001.  These standards establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.


If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.


Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.


At December 31, 2002, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.


Segment Information

The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," during 2001. SFAS No. 131 established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available, evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers, or a decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.


Going Concern

As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,976,097 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and has an accumulated deficit of $15,590,032 at December 31, 2002.  (This equates to a potential NOL tax carryforward of approximately $15,000,000.)  





F-10







The Company recently received a purchase order from a major new customer and ramped up production to meet the demand.  Because the customer has asked for a delay in shipment, this has given Diatect excess inventory.  Upon shipment, the Company expects to improve working capital, increase its profitability and stockholders' equity and commence repayment of its debt obligations.


Without greatly increased sales, the Company may be unable to continue in existence.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue existence.


Management's plans for ensuring the Company's continued viability are based on an aggressive, direct and indirect marketing program to all of the major independent U.S. hardware chains (Ace, TrueValue, DoItBest, Handy Hardware) in addition to increased emphasis on big box accounts and niche markets.


Management's plans include increased product placement and sales, and the sale of new common stock issuances, which are expected to raise the capital needed to satisfy collection judgments and repay debt obligations.  


Accounting for Stock Options and Warrants Granted to Employees and Nonemployees

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 123”), defines a fair value-based method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments.  The Company has adopted this method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.


Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146").  SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities.  SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred compensation contract.  SFAS No. 146 was issued in June 2002 and is not yet effective.  The impa ct on the Company's financial position or results or operations from adopting SFAS No. 146 has not been determined.


In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 44, 4 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 145"), which updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements.  FASB No. 4, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related tax effect was rescinded.  As a result, FASB No. 64, which amended FASB No. 4, was rescinded, as it was no longer necessary.  FASB No. 44, Accounting for intangible Assets of Motor Carriers, established the accounting requirements for the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980.  Since the transition has been completed, FAS B No. 44 is no longer necessary and has been rescinded.  SFAS No. 145 amended FASB No. 13 to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 and does not believe that the adoption will have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2002.


In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144").  SFAS 144 replaces SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  This new standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations.  Statement 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations.  This statement is effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged.  The Company adopted SFAS 144 and the adoption did not imp act the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2002.


In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143").  SFAS No. 143 establishes guidelines related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets of the Company and the associated retirement costs.  This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and with earlier application encouraged.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 which does not impact the fina ncial statements of the Company at December 31, 2002.





F-11







In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 provides for the elimination of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations with an acquisition date of July 1, 2001 or later. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires periodic reassessment of the underlying value of such assets for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. An early adoption provision exists for companies with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142. Application of the nonamortization provision of SFAS No. 142 resulted in an increase in net income of approximately $280,000 in fis cal 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the transitional provisions of the statement.


In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities."  This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities and also provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.  SFAS No. 140 is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000, and is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company 's results of operations or financial position.


New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2002, the "FASB" Financial Accounting Standards Board, issued "SFAS" Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure".  SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  


The provisions of the statement are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS 148 has no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations because the Company has already adopted SFAS 123.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had $97,000 borrowed on an outstanding line of credit.  The line of credit was extended to the Company by a shareholder utilizing his personal line of credit.  This credit facility is unsecured, has no stated maturity, and bears interest at 12%.


At December 31, 2002, the Company had $3,821 borrowed on an automatic line of credit with America First Credit Union.  This credit facility is unsecured, has no stated maturity and bears interest at 9.75%.


At July 19, 2002, the Company secured a $250,000 line of credit with Zion Bank.  As of December 31, 2002, the Company has borrowed $250,000.  This line of credit was secured by Company assets and carries a stated interest rate of 6.75%, and is due in full on January 19, 2003.

NOTE 8 - LITIGATION


Resolved Litigation


Terrance Dunne

Terrance Dunne, the Company's former auditor, initiated action against the Company for payment of unpaid fees.  In response to the allegations, the Company countersued for reimbursement of fees paid for work not performed.  In November 2002, the matter was fully settled and resolved with mutual releases being executed by both parties.


Mid-America Venture Capital Fund, Inc.

Mid-America Venture Capital Funds, Inc. brought action on July 23, 1997 against the Company for failure to pay loans on two promissory notes totaling $35,000.  Judgment was awarded on August 4, 1997 for a total of $39,336 including principal, interest, and attorney's fees and costs.  The balance owing at December 31, 2001 was included in settlements payable in these financial statements at December 31, 2001 and was fully paid as of December 31, 2002.  


Mike Glazer

A consultant rendered services to a Company subsidiary during 1996 in the amount of $17,230 and has brought action for this amount.  The Company has chosen not to contest this case.  Settlement efforts are expected to be undertaken after entry of judgment and demonstration that the assets of the subsidiary, Diatect International, Inc., are fully encumbered.  This amount was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2001.





F-14







Danny Wirken

During June 2001, the Company declared a note payable to Danny Wirkin (one of the brokers involved in the selling of Diatect stock, which gave rise to certain litigation for stock manipulation) in the amount of $386,581 and the interest accrued thereon as invalid and void.  Legal counsel for the Company further asserted that the obligation has passed the statute of limitations for collection thereon.  This resulted in a gain from termination of debt, which was reflected in the financial statements at December 31, 2001.  This amount has been reclassified to other income in accordance with FAS 145. (See Note 5.). The Company was considering litigation however, at this time, all consideration of litigation against Danny Wirken has been discontinued.


Former Officers and Consultant

In September 2000, the Company received notice from two former officers and a former consultant that they intend to bring action for nonpayment of back wages.  During May 2001, the Company issued 188,000 shares of its common stock valued at $47,000 ($0.25 per share) to one former officer in full settlement.  During August 2001, the Company paid $5,000 to another former officer for settlement with mutual release of his claim for nonpayment of back wages in the amount of $38,500.  The Company contested the related claim and did not accrue a liability for this claim because management did not expect to pay and did not record any liability for these back wages.  Therefore no gain is recorded for this settlement.


Current Litigation


Sloan, Listrom, Eisenbarth, Sloan & Glassman, LLC

In November 1999, the Company's former legal counsel was awarded a default judgment against the Company in the amount of $42,166 plus post judgment interest.  This judgment remains outstanding and unpaid and is included as a liability on the Company's balance sheet in settlements payable at December 31, 2002 and 2001 in the amount of $40,166.  


Ogilvy, Adams & Rinehart

Ogilvy, Adams & Rinehart (Ogilvy) obtained a judgment against Diatect on November 1, 1995 in the sum of $24,346.  The entire judgment amount plus attorney's fees and interest thereon is approximately $36,000 and has been included on the Company's balance sheet in settlements payable at December 31, 2002 and 2001.  Since mid 1996, there has been no communication with the plaintiff or its attorneys, nor has the plaintiff made any attempt to satisfy or settle this case.  The Company plans to negotiate a settlement of this obligation during 2003.


L. Craig Hunt

L. Craig Hunt brought action on January 14, 1998 against Diatect for damages and breach of contract on a promissory note for the sum of $42,750 plus interest, penalties and attorney's fees.  Judgment against Diatect International Corp. was rendered on February 1, 1999 in the sum of $61,543.  This judgment is presently outstanding and unpaid.  At December 31, 2002 and 2001, $60,543 is included in settlements payable in these financial statements.  To date, plaintiffs have made no attempt to collect on this judgment.


George Brink

During December 2000, George Brink was awarded a default judgment in the total amount of $44,648, including interest and legal fees, for the balance due on a promissory note.  At this time, active collection on the judgment has not been pursued.  The outstanding and unpaid amount is included as a liability on the Company's balance sheet in settlements payable at December 31, 2002 and 2001.  


Iver J. Longtieg

Mr. Longtieg is pursuing a claim outside of the Future Title/White Mountain Group.  Mr. Longtieg claims an outstanding note for $23,887 plus interest accrued theron.  Mr. Longtieg filed a notice of intent to apply for a default judgment, in Boise, Idaho.  The Company did not answer the complaint and as a result a potential default judgment is possible.  At the current time, Mr. Longtieg has been paid $14,488, and is forbearing until such time as Diatect resolves the issue of the original claim.


Threatened Litigation


On November 15, 2002, the Company received a letter from attorneys representing the Scotts Company and its affiliate, OMS Investments, Inc., claiming ownership of the character and trademark “Freddy the Fire Ant” and demanding that the Company withdraw its application with the U.S. Trademark office to register “Freddy the Fire Ant” as the Company’s trademark.  The claim alleges trademark infringement and unfair competition.  The outcome of this claim is uncertain and no amounts are accrued in the financial statements.


Other Matters

The Company is not aware of any other threatened litigation against it or its subsidiaries.  However, there remains a possibility of litigation against Diatect and/or its subsidiaries by creditors.

NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTIONS


In November 2002, the Company adopted the Diatect International Corporation 2002 Stock Option and Award Plan (the "Plan") under which 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock are available for issuance with respect to awards granted to officers, directors, management and other employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries.  As of December 31, 2002, the Company had issued options for 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to officers of the Company.  None of these options have become vested and therefore are unexercisable at December 31, 2002.


This Plan superceded the 1995 Stock Option Plan, which was initiated in order to aid the Company in maintaining and developing a management team, attracting qualified officers and employees.  A total of 3,000,000 shares of stock were subject to, or issued pursuant to the terms of the plan.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Futura Title Corporation

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company reclassified a note payable to Alliance Title & Escrow acting on the behalf of various individuals.  The reclassified amount also included interest accrued thereon to commitments and contingencies for a total amount of $461,605.  During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company obtained releases of liability from several individuals.  This resulted in a gain from termination of debt, which is reflected in the financial statements at December 31, 2002.  A remaining balance in the amount of $106,620 is included in commitments and contingencies at December 31, 2002.  The Company is currently negotiating a settlement agreement on this liability.  Although the outcome is uncertain, the Company expects to settle for considerably less.


Lease Commitments

In April 2000, the Company entered into a lease agreement for new office facilities in Boise.  The agreement called a three_year lease with monthly payments of $820 during the first year, $838 during the second year and $857 during the third year.  The Company occupied these facilities from May 1, 2000 through October 1, 2001.  The Company negotiated a settlement on the remaining lease in the amount of $2,089, which was paid.


The Company leased operating facilities in Smith Center, Kansas from an individual through July 2001.  The lease was a month to month handshake agreement, with monthly payments of $273.


Other Contingencies

The production of pesticides is subject to complex environmental regulations.  As of the date of these financial statements and the date of this report, the Company is unaware of any pending environmentally related litigation or of any specific past or prospective matters involving environmental concerns which could impair the marketing of its products.





F-18







IX Group, Inc.

On November 14, 2001, Diatect entered into an agreement with IX Group, Inc. (hereinafter "IXG") whereby Diatect would sell to IXG all of the common stock of a subsidiary, Magic International, Inc. (hereinafter "Magic"), in exchange for approximately 5% of the common stock of Magic after IXG's merger with and into Magic and the post-merger payment of cash.  Although Magic was transferred to IXG, IXG subsequently ceased operations and Diatect never received any consideration for the transfer.


The transaction is considered a related party event because IXG's president and principal shareholder is also a shareholder of Diatect.  Prior to its transfer to IXG, Magic had no assets or liabilities.  


Purchase of Facilities

During October 2001, the Company relocated both its office and operating facilities to Heber City, Utah.  During January 2003 and subsequent to the date of these financial statements, the Company completed negotiations for the purchase of its new facilities at a total cost of $875,500.  Terms of the financing agreement call for approximately $9,200 in interest only payments at 13% annual interest rate. Under terms of the original agreement, the Company occupied the facilities with no charge until closing. Other terms of the agreement called for a down payment of $28,500, escrow deposit in the amount of $384,000 and a letter of credit in the amount of $412,500.  The Company paid the down payment of $28,500 during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2001 and this amount is reflected in the attached financial statements as deposits.  During the same period, the Company also secured cash in the amount of $400,000, which is considered restricted for an escrow deposit.  These funds were returned to the lender in 2003.  The Company occupied the facilities on October 10, 2001.

DIATECT INTERNATIONAL CORP.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2003



NOTE 1 – BASIS AND PRESENTATION


The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2002.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations.


Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.


GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company sustained income of $13,052,263.  As of September 30, 2003 the Company’s accumulated deficit was $2,537,769.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis.


Restatement and Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2003 presentation.


Provision for Taxes

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end.  A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.


At September 30, 2003, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate of 34% of approximately $6,300,000 principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes.  As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at September 30, 2003.  The significant components of the deferred tax asset at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were as follows:


 

September 30,

At September 30, 2003, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18,700,000, which expire in the years 2005 through 2022.  The Company recognized approximately $40,000 of losses from issuance of restricted common stock and stock options for services in fiscal 2003, which are not deductible for tax purposes and are not included in the above calculation of deferred tax assets.  The change in the allowance account from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003 was $1,137,168.



NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Diatect International Corp. was incorporated in the State of California in 1979.  


The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries have been abandoned.

On July 19, 2002, the Company secured a $250,000 line of credit with Zion’s Bank.  As of December 31, 2002, the Company had borrowed $250,000.  This line of credit was secured by Company assets and carried a stated interest rate of 6.75%, and was paid in full during January 2003.



NOTE 6 – LITIGATION


From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings with certainty, the Company does not believe that the disposition of these matters will have a material adverse affect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


The status of legal proceedings against the Company is detailed in Part II Item 1, Legal Proceedings, later in the report.



NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK


During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company issued 5,321,071 shares of its common stock.  For debt and interest valued at $674,803, the Company issued 3,779,494 shares.  The Company also issued 80,000 shares of its common stock to directors for services valued at $12,550.  There were 896,577 shares issued to employees, consultants and others for services valued at $108,460.  The stock issued was valued at its fair market value on the dates of issuance.  The Company also sold 565,000 shares of its common stock for $78,000 in cash during the same fiscal period.

On September 23, 2003, the Company was granted permission to trade its shares on the Third Market Segment of the Berlin Stock Exchange.  



NOTE 8 – STOCK OPTIONS


There were no options exercised or issued during the quarter ended September 30, 2003.



NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Purchase of Facilities

During October 2001, the Company relocated both its office and operating facilities to Heber City, Utah.  During January 2003, the Company completed negotiations for the purchase of its new facilities at a total cost of $875,500.  Terms of the agreement include the Company’s assumption of an interest-only two-year mortgage in the amount of $847,000, with payments of $9,200 per month at 13% annual interest rate. Under terms of the original agreement, the Company occupied the facilities with no charge until closing.  Other terms included a cash down payment of $28,500 during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2001, which is reflected in the attached financial statements as deposits at December 31, 2002.  During the same period, the Company also secured cash in the amount of $400,000, which was considered restricted for an escrow deposit.  These funds were returned to the lender in January 2003.  The Company has occupied the facilities since October 10, 2001.


G.A. Pope Charitable Trust Note Payable

In the first quarter of 2003, the Company borrowed $750,000 from a privately held trust. The Company renegotiated the terms of the loan covenant and extended the loan maturity to January 16, 2004.




F-28







NOTE 10 – DISTRIBUTION RETURNS


Loss on distribution returns

In the second quarter of 2003, the Company requested the return of product from a class of customers, (Future Farmers of America chapters in the State of Texas) because the Company had some concerns regarding inappropriate product storage conditions by customers and the related expected impact on product efficiency.  Therefore, upon receipt of this product, the Company recorded a loss on distribution and product returns of $174,150.  This amount consists of the write-off of the related customer receivables, offset by the recording of reusable inventory materials of $32,978.



NOTE 11 – SALE OF MINING RIGHTS


On September 10, 2003, the Company successfully completed a transaction whereby it sold 90% of its rights to a diatomaceous earth mining site in Oregon to a related party, a LLC principally owned by a Diatect director, for a $31.1 million note.  Prior to the transaction, the Company obtained letters of appraisal from consulting geologists in support of the transaction sale price.  Under the terms of the agreement, Diatect will begin receiving annual note principal payments of $1,945,350 per year plus interest at 8% per annum for sixteen consecutive years beginning with the first scheduled payment in September 2005.


The Company’s note is secured by a sale and purchase agreement wherein the purchaser obligates itself to certain conditions including the payment to Diatect of ascending royalties based on the sales of mined product.


In recording the transaction after lengthy consideration, the Company opted to initially discount the face value of the note received.  The note was recorded at $15,562,800, with the related entry to other income in the Company’s statement of operations.

PART II



Item 24.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Our By-Laws include provisions, which limit the liability of our directors.  As permitted by applicable provisions of the California corporations code section 204.5, directors will not be liable to Diatect for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors in certain circumstances.  This limitation does not affect liability for any breach of a director’s duty to Diatect or our shareholders (i) with respect to approval by the director of any transaction from which he or she derives an improper personal benefit, (ii) with respect to acts or omissions involving an absence of good faith, that the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of Diatect or our shareholders, that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, that constitute an unexcused pattern or inattention that amounts to an abdication of his or her duty to Diatect or our shareholders, or that show a reckless disregard for duty to Diatect or our shareholders in circumstances in which he or she was, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing his or her duties, of a risk of serious injury to Diatect or our shareholders, or (iii) based on transactions between Diatect and our directors or another corporation with interrelated directors or based on improper distributions, loans or guarantees under applicable sections of California Law.  This limitation of directors’ liability also does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission.  


The Company has been advised that it is the position of the Commission that insofar as the provision in Diatect’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, may be invoked for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, the provision is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.


Item 25.   Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution


The Company is not issuing any common stock under this Registration Statement.  All common stock registered pursuant to this Registration Statement is being registered on behalf of selling shareholder.  The Company has agreed to pay all costs of this Registration Statement.  The estimated expenses for the distribution of the common stock registered hereby, other than underwriting commissions, fees and Representative’s nonaccountable expense allowance are set forth in the following table:

Item 26.   Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


During the past three years, we effected the following transactions in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act as amended. Unless stated otherwise; (i) that each of the persons who received these unregistered securities had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters which allowed them to evaluate the merits and risk of the receipt of these securities, and that they were knowledgeable about our operations and financial condition; (ii) no underwriter participated in, nor did we pay any commissions or fees to any underwriter in connection with the transactions; (iii) the transactions did not involve a public offerings; and (iv) each certificate issued for these unregistered securities contained a legend stating that the securities have not been registered under the Act and setting forth the restrictions on the transferability and the sale of the securities.


In November 2002 we sold 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $100,000 to La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.


On December 27, 2002, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. relating to the sale of $150,000 in principal amount of an 8% Convertible Debenture due December 27, 2004 and Warrants.  The Debenture was amended on March 18, 2003 and increased by $100,00 in principal amount making the Debenture total $250,000. The Warrants were amended on March 27, 2003 to limit the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to 2,500,000 shares of common stock.  Both the Debenture and the Warrants were amended further on August 6, 2003.


During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, we issued 206,000 shares of our common stock valued at $19,770 in payment of services provided by the board and for employee year-end bonuses, 615,000 shares of our common stock valued at $84,500 in payment of consulting services to Mr. Barry Clark, 462,880 shares of our common stock valued at $53,139 for debt settlement, 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for cash of $100,000, and 180,500 shares of our common stock valued at $20,800 as loan incentives.  500,000 of the above shares issued in payment consulting services valued at $50,000 were issued pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8.  


All of the remaining above securities have been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

DIATECT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

(A California Corporation)


ARTICLE I


Principal Office

Section 1.  The principal executive office for the transaction of the business of the corporation is hereby fixed and located at 875 South Industrial Parkway, Heber City, Utah 84032.


Section 2.  The board of directors may at any time establish other business offices within or without the State of California.


ARTICLE II


Meetings of Shareholders

Section 1.  All meetings of the shareholders shall be at any place within or without the State of California which may be designed either by the board of directors or by the written consent of all the shareholders entitled to vote thereat and not present at the meeting given either before or after the meeting and filed with the secretary of the corporation.  In the absence of any such designation, shareholders’ meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.


Section 2.  The annual meeting of the shareholders of the corporation shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be determined by the board of directors, not more than 15 months after the date of the preceding annual meeting or, in the case of the first annual meeting, not more than 15 months after the organization of the corporation.  At such meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted which is within the powers of the shareholders.  Written notice of each annual meeting shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote either personally or by first-class mail or other means of written communications (which includes, without limitation and wherever used in these by-laws, telegraphic and facsimile communication), charges prepaid, addressed to each shareholder at his address appearing on the books of the corporatio n, or given by him to the corporation for the purpose of notice.  If any notice or report addressed to the shareholder at the address of such shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice or report to the shareholder at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing of the same provided such notices and reports shall be available for the shareholder upon written demand of the shareholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of the notice or report to all other shareholders.  If no address of a shareholder appears on the books of the corporation or is given by the shareholder to the corporation, notice is duly given to him if sent by mail or other means of written communication addressed to the place where the principal executive office of the corporation is located or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which said principal executive office is located.  


All such notices shall be given to each shareholder entitled thereto not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before each annual meeting.  Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the United States mail or delivered to a common carrier for transmission to the recipient or actually transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means to the recipient or sent by other means of written communication.  An affidavit of mailing of any such notice in accordance with the foregoing provisions, executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or transfer agent of the corporation shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of the notice.  


Such notice shall state

(a)

the place, date and hour of the meeting;

(b)

those matters which the board, at the time of the mailing of the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders;

(c)

if directors are to be elected, the names of nominees intended at the time of the notice to be presented by management for election;

(d)

the general nature of a proposal, if any, to take action with respect to the approval of (i) a contract or other transaction with an interested director, (ii) amendment of the articles of incorporation, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation as defined in Section 181 of the General Corporation Law, (iv) voluntary dissolution of the corporation, or (v) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, if any; and

(e)

such other matters, if any, as may be expressly required by statute.


Section 3.  Special meetings of the shareholders for the purpose of taking any action permitted to be taken by the shareholders under the General Corporation Law and the articles of incorporation of this corporation, may be called by the chairman of the board or the president, or by any vice president, or by the board of directors, or by the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at the meeting.  Upon request in writing that a special meeting of shareholders be called for any proper purpose, directed to the chairman of the board, president, vice president or secretary by any person (other than the board of directors) entitled to call a special meeting of shareholders, the officer forthwith shall cause notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote that a meeting will be held at a time requested by the person or persons c alling the meeting, not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.  Except in special cases where other express provision is made by statute, notice of such special meetings shall be given in the same manner and contain the same statements as required for annual meetings of shareholders.  Notice of any special meeting shall also specify the general nature of the business to be transacted, and no other business may be transacted at such meeting.  


Section 4.  The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.


Section 5.  Any shareholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, the holders of which are either present in person or represented by proxy thereat, but in the absence of a quorum no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided in Section 4 above.  


When any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the board of directors shall set a new record date.  Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of this Article II.  At any adjourned meeting the shareholders may transact any business, which might have been transacted at the original meeting.


Section 6.   Unless a record date for voting purposes be fixed as provided in Section 1 of Article VII of these by-laws then, subject to the provisions of Sections 702 and 704, inclusive, of the Corporation Code of California, only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the corporation at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given or if such notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting of shareholders is held, shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and such day shall be the record date for such meeting.  Any shareholder entitled to vote on any matter may vote part of the share in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal (other than elections of directors or officers), but if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares such shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares such is entitled to vote. Such vote may be viva voce or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand made by a shareholder at any election and before the voting begins.  If a quorum is present, except with respect to election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the General Corporation Law or the articles of incorporation.  Subject to the requirements of the next sentence, every shareholder entitled to vote at any election for directors may cumulate his votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of dir ectors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which his shares are entitled, or distribute his votes on the same principle among as many candidates as he shall think fit.  No shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes unless such candidate or candidates’ names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the shareholder’s intention to cumulate his votes.  If any one shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination.  The candidates receiving the highest number of votes of shares entitled to be voted for them, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected.


Section 7.  The transactions at any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof.  The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any regular or special meeting of shareholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in subparagraph (d) of the third paragraph of Section 4 of this Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of such proposal.  All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.  


Attendance of a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice of such objection is expressly made at the meeting.  


Section 8.  Directors may be elected without a meeting by a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, signed by all of the persons who would be entitled to vote for the election of directors, provided that, without notice except as hereinafter set forth, a director may be elected at any time to fill a vacancy not filled by the directors by the written consent of persons holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors.  


Any other action which, under any provision of the California General Corporation Law, may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, and without notice except as hereinafter set forth, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote filed with the secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records.


Unless the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been solicited in writing:

(a)

Notice of any proposed shareholder approval of (i) a contract or other transaction with an interested director; (ii) indemnification of an agent of the corporation as authorized by Section 11 of Article III of these by-laws; (iii) a reorganization of the corporation as defined in Section 181 of the General Corporation Law; or (iv) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, if any, without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent, shall be given at least ten (10) days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval; and

(b)

Prompt notice shall be given of the taking of any other corporate action approved by shareholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent, to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing.  Such notices shall be given in the manner provided in Section 2 of Article II of these by-laws.  


Unless, as provided in Section 1 of Article VII of these by-laws, the board of directors has fixed a record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to give such written consent, the record date for such determination shall be the day on which the first written consent is given.  


Any shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder’s proxy holders, or a transferee of the shares or a personal representative of the shareholder or their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the corporation prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorized the proposed action have been filed with the secretary of the corporation, but may not do so thereafter.  Such revocation is effective upon its receipt by the secretary of the corporation.


Section 9.  Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his duly authorized agent and filed with the secretary of the corporation.  A proxy shall be deemed executed if the shareholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney in fact.  Any proxy duly executed which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect until, (i) an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date is filed with the secretary of the corporation prior to the vote pursuant thereto, (ii) the person executing the proxy attends the meeting and votes in person, or (iii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of such proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant thereto is counted; provided that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  The revocability of a proxy, which states on its face that it is irrevocable, shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 705 (e) and (f) of the General Corporation Law.


Section 10.  In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof.  If inspectors of election be not so appointed, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or his proxy shall, make such appointment at the meeting.  The number of inspectors shall be either one or three.  If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares represented in person or by proxy shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed.  In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, be filled by appointment by the board of directors in advance of the meeting, or at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting.  


The duties of such inspectors shall be as prescribed by Section 707 of the General Corporation Law and shall include:  determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining when the polls shall close; determining the result; and such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.  In the determination of the validity and effect of proxies the dates contained on the forms of proxy shall presumptively determine the order of execution of the proxies, regardless of the postmark dates on the envelopes in which they are mailed.


The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical.  If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all.  Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

This corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of this corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of this corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably relieved to be in the best interests of this corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presump tion that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of this corporation or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.


(c)

This corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or complete action by or in the right of this corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of this corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best interests of this corporation and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.  No indemnification shall be made under this subdivision (c):  


(1)

In respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to this corporation in the performance of such person’s duty to this corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action was brought shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which such court shall determine;

(2)

Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action, with or without court approval; or

(3)

Of expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending action, which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.


(d)

To the extent that an agent of this corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in subdivision (b) or (c) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection therewith.  


(e)

Except as provided in subdivision (d), any indemnification under this section shall be made by this corporation only if authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in subdivision (b) or (c), by:


(1)

A majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding;

(2)

Approval or ratification by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of this corporation entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by the written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.  For such purpose, the shares owned by the person to be indemnified shall not be considered outstanding or entitled to vote thereon; or

(g)

Nothing contained in this section shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than directors and officers of this corporation or any subsidiary hereof may be entitled by contract or otherwise.

(h)

No indemnification or advance shall be made under this section, except as provided in subdivision (d) or subdivision (e) (3), in any circumstance where it appears:


1.

That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the articles, a resolution of the shareholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

2.

That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.


(i)

Upon and in the event of a determination by the board of directors of this corporation to purchase such insurance, this corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent in such capacity or arising out of the agent’s status as such whether or not this corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against such liability under the provisions of this section.
