Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bion Integrated Projects Group, Inc. (formerly Bion Dairy Corporation) (“Projects Group”), Bion Technologies, Inc., BionSoil, Inc., Bion Services , PA-1, and Bion PA 2 LLC; and its 58.9% owned subsidiary, Centerpoint Corporation (“Centerpoint”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring entries) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2012, the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2013.

Fair value measurements:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable, with use of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value.

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 – assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company's market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

Fair value measurements (continued):

The fair value of cash and accounts payable approximates their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the loan payable approximates its carrying amount as it bears interest at rates commensurate with market rates. The fair value of the redeemable preferred stock approximates its carrying value due to the dividends accrued on the preferred stock which are reflected as part of the redemption value. The fair value of deferred compensation is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

Loss per share:

Basic loss per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments, such as options or warrants, unless the effect is to reduce the loss per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the basic and diluted loss per share was the same, as the impact of potential dilutive common shares was anti-dilutive.

The following table represents the warrants, options and convertible securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share:

	September 30, 2012		September 30, 2011
Warrants		6,879,920		6,068,055
Options		5,261,145		2,620,833
Convertible debt		528,609		123,750
Convertible preferred stock		19,688		1,058,057

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic loss per share computations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Three months ended September 30, 2012			Three months ended September 30, 2011
Shares issued – beginning of period		16,814,103			13,730,291
Shares held by subsidiaries (Note 6)		(704,309	)		(704,309	)
Shares outstanding – beginning of period		16,109,794			13,025,982
Weighted average shares for fully vested stock bonuses (Note 6)		766,630			323,478
Weighted average shares issued during the period		50,846			101,363
Basic weighted average shares – end of period		16,927,270			13,450,823
