PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Back to Table of Contents

The Registrant's unaudited interim financial statements are attached hereto. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION Back to Table of Contents

Some of the statements contained in this quarterly report of Zaxis International Inc., Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", "our", "Company" and the "Registrant") discuss future expectations, contain projections of our plan of operation or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use of words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. From time to time, we also may provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public.

General Background

The Registrant was a biotechnology holding company that operated its business through wholly owned subsidiary. Zaxis was incorporated in Ohio in 1989. On August 25, 1995, Zaxis merged with a subsidiary of The InFerGene Company ("InFerGene") and InFerGene changed its name to Zaxis International Inc. For accounting and tax purposes, the merger was treated as a reverse acquisition in which Zaxis acquired International. InFerGene was incorporated in California in 1984 and subsequently changed its domicile to Delaware in 1985.

On November 6, 2002, the Registrant filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Ohio (case no. 02-55160). As a result of the Chapter 7 petition, the Registrant's assets were transferred to a United States Trustee and the Registrant terminated its business operations. During 2003 and 2004, the Bankruptcy Trustee had disposed of substantially all of the assets of the Registrant and its subsidiaries. On October 13, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in personal property to Park Avenue Group Inc. and confirming that Park Avenue Group, Inc. is a good faith purchaser pursuant to 11 USC Section363(m).

In connection with the Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in certain intangible personal property to Park Avenue Group Inc. approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Ohio on October 13, 2004, the Court authorized Park Avenue Group to appoint a new board of directors. On October 13, 2004, Park Avenue Group appointed Ivo Heiden to the board of directors of the Registrant, which board of director subsequently appointed Ivo Heiden ("Management") to be president of the Registrant. The Court order further provided that the sale was free and clear of liens, claims and interests of others and that the sale was free and clear of any and all other real or personal property interests, including any interests in Zaxis's subsidiaries. On November 30, 2004; the Registrant's board of directors approved and authorized an amendment of Registrant's Article of Incorporation to establish a series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 ("Series B Convertible Preferred Stock"). The holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 20 (twenty) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Registrant. The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert each share into 20 (twenty) shares of common stock upon their written request at any time.

Change in Control following Emergence from Bankruptcy

The material terms of the transaction confirmed by Bankruptcy Court authorized Park Avenue Group to appoint new members to the Registrant's board of directors and the newly-appointed board of directors be authorized to:

(i) amend the Article of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to 100,000,000 shares;
(ii) amend the Article of Incorporation to change the par value of the Registrant's common and preferred stock to $0.0001;
(iii) issue up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 to the new Management of the Registrant;
(iv) implement a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares in a ratio to be determined by the board of directors;
(v) cancel and extinguish all common share conversion rights of any kind, including without limitation, warrants, options, convertible bonds, other convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock; and
(vi)cancel and extinguish all preferred shares of every series and accompanying conversion rights of any kind.

Plan of Operation

We have no present operations or revenues and our current activities are related to seeking new business opportunities, including seeking an acquisition or merger with an operating company. If our board of directors seeks to acquire another business or pursue a new business opportunity, Management would have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective business. Registrant would not be obligated nor does Management intend to seek pre-approval by our shareholders. Under the laws of the State of Delaware, the consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares, acting without a shareholders meeting, can approve an acquisition.

The Registrant is entirely dependent on the judgment of Management in connection with pursuing a new business opportunity or a selection process for a target operating company. In evaluating a prospective new business opportunity or an operating company, we would consider, among other factors, the following: (i) costs associated with effecting a transaction; (ii) equity interest in and opportunity to control the prospective candidate; (iii) growth potential of the target business; (iv) experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel; (v) necessary capital requirements; (vi) the prospective candidate's competitive position; (vii) stage of development of the business opportunity; (viii) the market acceptance of the business its products or services; (ix) the availability of audited financial statements of the potential business opportunity; and (x) the regulatory environment that may be applicable to any prospective business opportunity.

The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and there may be other criteria that Management may deem relevant. In connection with an evaluation of a prospective or potential business opportunity, Management may be expected to conduct a due diligence review.

The Registrant intends to conduct its activities so as to avoid being classified as an "Investment Company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We will use our limited personnel and financial resources in connection with seeking new business opportunities, including seeking an acquisition or merger with an operating company. It may be expected that entering into a new business opportunity or business combination will involve the issuance of a substantial number of restricted shares of common stock. If such additional restricted shares of common stock are issued, our shareholders will experience a dilution in their ownership interest in the Registrant. If a substantial number of restricted shares are issued in connection with a business combination, a change in control may be expected to occur. At March 31, 2003, we had 16,245,623 shares of common stock outstanding and we had assets and no liabilities.

In connection with our plan to seek new business opportunities and/or effecting a business combination, we may determine to seek to raise funds from the sale of restricted stock or debt securities.We have no agreements to issue any debt or equity securities and cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all.

There are no limitations in our articles of incorporation on our ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock to effect a business combination. Our limited resources and lack of operating history may make it difficult to do borrow funds or raise capital. Our inability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Back to Table of Contents

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of March 31, 2005, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer conducted an evaluation regarding the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the  Exchange Act. Based upon the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our president and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period ended March 31, 2005, the period this quarterly report was prepared.

Changes in internal controls. Management was appointed in October 2004. No changes occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ZAXIS INTERNATIONAL INC.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zaxis International Inc., a Delaware corporation.

The Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by us in accordance with the accounting policies described in our December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us 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 on going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related intangible assets, income taxes, insurance obligations and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions 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 resources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-QSB reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include some information and notes necessary to conform with annual reporting requirements

"Fresh Start" Accounting: On November 6, 2002 all assets were transferred to the chapter 7 trustee in settlement of all outstanding corporate obligations. We adopted "fresh-start" accounting as of November 7, 2002 in accordance with procedures specified by AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code."

All results for periods subsequent to November 7, 2002 are referred to as those of the "Successor Company".

In accordance with SOP No. 90-7, the reorganized value of the Company was allocated to the Company's assets based on procedures specified by SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". Each liability existing at the plan sale date, other than deferred taxes, was stated at the present value of the amounts to be paid at appropriate market rates. It was determined that the Company's reorganization value computed immediately before November 6, 2002 was $0. We adopted "fresh-start" accounting because holders of existing voting shares immediately before filing and confirmation of the sale received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and its reorganization value is less than its post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.

2. Bankruptcy Proceedings

On November 6, 2002, the Registrant filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Ohio (case no. 02-55160). On October 13, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in personal property to Park Avenue Group Inc. The material terms of the transaction confirmed by Bankruptcy Court authorized Park Avenue Group to appoint new members to the Registrant's board of directors and authorized those newly-appointed board of directors be to:

  • amend the Article of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to 100,000,000 shares;
  • amend the Article of Incorporation to change the par value of our common and preferred stock to $0.0001;
  • issue up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 to the new management which management was appointed by the newly-constituted board of directors;
  • implement a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares in a ratio to be determined by the board of directors;
  • cancel and extinguish all common share conversion rights of any kind, including without limitation, warrants, options, convertible bonds, other convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock; and
  • cancel and extinguish all preferred shares of every series and accompanying conversion rights of any kind.

The accounts of the former subsidiaries were not included in the sale and have not been carried forward.

Change in Control

In connection with the Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in certain intangible personal property to Park Avenue Group Inc. approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Ohio on October 13, 2004, the Court authorized a change in control pursuant to which Ivo Heiden became our sole director on October 13, 2004, and was appointed president by the new board of directors on October 19, 2004. The Court order further provided that the sale was free and clear of liens, claims and interests of others and that the sale was free and clear of any and all other real or personal property interests, including any interests in Zaxis's subsidiaries. The Bankruptcy Court Order provided that the existing officers and directors were deemed removed from office and also authorized the appointment of new members to the board of directors.

On November 30, 2004 the board of directors approved and authorized an amendment of our Article of Incorporation to establish a series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 ("Series B Convertible Preferred Stock"). The holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 20 (twenty) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Registrant. The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert each share into 20 (twenty) shares of common stock upon their written request at any time. On December 7, 2004, the board of directors authorized 2,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and issued 840,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that resulted in a change in control.

3. Earnings/Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share assume that any dilutive convertible securities outstanding were converted, with related preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options for which market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by us with the related proceeds. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.

4. New Accounting Standards

Variable Interest Entities: In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51" ("FIN 46"). The primary objectives of FIN 46 were to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the variable interest entity ("VIE"). We adopted FIN 46 on July 1, 2003. The implementation of FIN 46 did not have an impact on the earnings or financial position of the Company.

In April 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 149"). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts and hedging relationships entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 149 effective June 30, 2003 and such adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements since the Company has not entered into any derivative or hedging transactions.

In May 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both debt and equity and requires an issuer to classify the following instruments as liabilities in its balance sheet:

  • a financial instrument issued in the form of shares that is mandatorily redeemable and embodies an unconditional obligation that requires the issuer to redeem it by transferring its assets at a specified or determinable date or upon an event that is certain to occur;
  • a financial instrument, other than an outstanding share, that embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares, or is indexed to such an obligation, and requires the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets; and
  • a financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation that the issuer must settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares if the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on (1) a fixed monetary amount, (2) variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, or (3) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares.

In November 2003, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 150-3 ("FSS 150-3") which deferred the effective dates for applying certain provisions of SFAS 150 related to mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain non-public entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests for public and non-public companies. For public entities, SFAS 150 is effective for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is effective for all other financial instruments as of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests that would not have to be classified as liabilities by a subsidiary under the exception in paragraph 9 of SFAS 150, but would be classified as liabilities by the parent, the classification and measurement provisions of SFAS 150 are deferred indefinitely. The measurement provisions of SFAS 150 are also deferred indefinitely for other mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests that were issued before November 4, 2003. For those instruments, the measurement guidance for redeemable shares and non-controlling interests in other literature shall apply during the deferral period. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 150 effective June 30, 2003 and such adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
