ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Discontinued Operations and New Developments
Since inception, the Company's business plan was to develop a membership based website art gallery/auction house specifically focused on displaying and selling original artwork. The Company changed its status from a development stage company to an operating company on November 30, 2009. Management realized that the results of operations from the sale of artwork was lack-luster, and it was decided to change the Company's business focus and plan for other strategic opportunities and discontinued the sale of artwork to be effective June 25, 2010. Effective June 26, 2010, the Company started to focus on a new business development. On July 29, 2010, the Company's name changed from Online Originals, Inc. to Creenergy Corporation. The name change was intended to convey a sense of the Company's new business focus as it looked to pursue other opportunities. Specifically, the Company intended to obtain leases for the exploration and production of oil and gas in northern Canada and the United States. These objectives have not been realized and the Company has abandoned its efforts in this area.
On August 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement in which the Company, in exchange for 75,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock, will receive all rights and title to proprietary technologies and formulas involving the application of specialty Peptide . On December 21, 2011 the Asset Purchase Agreement was amended and 30,000,000 of the 75,000,000 shares issued were returned to treasury and cancelled. Having done this, the Company
has changed its business focus from obtaining leases for the exploration and production of oil and gas in areas of northern Alberta, Canada, to the manufacturing and distribution of natural peptide solutions to combat the economic burden caused by the zebra and quagga mussels to the hydropower electricity industry.
On December 14, 2011, Peptide Technologies, Inc. agreed to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 23, 2011. As a result of the amendment 30,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company were returned to treasury in exchange for payment of half of one percent of all gross monies received by the company from revenue produced from products derived from the use of all the formulae listed in the Assets Purchase Agreement. In addition a monthly stipend of CDN $15,000 per month is to be paid commencing from receipt of monies from the first contract signed to purchase products derived from the use of the formula for a period of five years from the date of the amended agreement.
Business of Issuer
Peptide Technologies, Inc. is a development stage company that is engaged in the development and manufacture of environmentally safe peptide-based products used to combat the rapidly growing problems caused by the quagga and zebra mussel infestation in U.S. and Canadian waters. The Company specializes in the development of peptide formulas which may be added to a specific coating product and applied to substrates, creating a surface which is uninhabitable by the quagga and zebra mussels. The advantages of our peptide formulas are (1) they are 100% safe to humans; (2) they will not kill the mussels which are now an integral part of the food chain, the disruption of which would be an environmental unknown; and (3) they are organic and eco-environmentally friendly.
Background
The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) and its cousin, the quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis), are small bivalve mollusks with two matching half shells, having an average life span of 3 to 5 years. Zebra mussels are native to the Black, Caspian, and Azov Seas, dating back to 1769. By the late 18th and early 19th centuries, zebra mussels had spread to most all major drainages of Europe because of widespread construction of canal systems. They first appeared in Great Britain in 1824, where they are now well established. Since then, zebra mussels have expanded their range into Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Italy, and the rest of Western Europe. Zebra mussels were first discovered in North America in 1988 in the Great Lakes. The first account of an established population came from Canadian waters of Lake St. Clair, a water body connecting Lake Huron and Lake Erie. By 1990, zebra mussels had been found in all the Great Lakes. The following year, zebra mussels escaped the Great Lakes basin and found their way into the Illinois and Hudson rivers. The Illinois River was the key to their introduction into the Mississippi River drainage which covers over 1.2 million square miles. Since its introduction, the zebra mussel has spread to 23 states in America and two Canadian provinces.
The quagga mussel is indigenous to the Dneiper River drainage of Ukraine and Ponto-Caspian Sea. It was discovered in the Bug River in 1890 by Andrusov, who named the species in 1897. The quagga mussel was first sighted in the Great Lakes in September 1989, when one was found near Port Colborne, Lake Erie, though the recognition of the quagga type as a distinct species was not until 1991. In August 1991, a mussel with a different genotype was found in a random zebra mussel sample from the Erie Canal near Palmyra, New York, and after confirmation that this mussel was not a variety of Dreissena polymorpha, the new species was named "quagga mussel" after the "quagga," an extinct African relative of the zebra. The first sighting of quagga mussels outside the Great Lakes basin was made in the Mississippi River between St. Louis, Missouri and Alton, Illinois in 1995. In January 2007, populations of quagga mussels were discovered in Lake Mead near Boulder City, Nevada, and in Lake Havasu and Lake Mohave on the California/Arizona border.
The quagga mussel is a prolific breeder, possibly contributing to its spread and abundance. Dreissena are dioecious (either male or female) with external fertilization. A fully mature female mussel is capable of producing up to one million eggs per year. After fertilization, pelagic microscopic larvae, or veligers, develop within a few days and these veligers soon acquire minute bivalve shells. Free-swimming veligers drift with the currents for three to four weeks feeding by their hair-like cilia while trying to locate suitable substrata to settle and secure byssal threads. Zebra and quagga mussels accumulate organic pollutants within their tissues to levels more than 300,000 times greater than concentrations in the environment and these pollutants are found in their pseudofeces, which can be passed up the food chain, therefore increasing wildlife exposure to organic pollutants (Snyder et al., 1997). Another major threat involves the fouling of native freshwater mussels. Since quaggas were discovered in Lake Michigan in 1998, plankton rings formed by the passage of storms have been eaten away by the quagga mussels, threatening the local ecosystem.
Numerous pipelines, filter screens, hydroelectric turbines and pumping stations, irrigation tunnels, canals and aqueducts are becoming clogged with quagga and zebra mussels, and this proliferation and dispersion of mussel populations threatens to impact reclamation operations and multiple dams across North America, resulting in the interruption of hydropower and water delivery at significant economic costs. Of particular concern is the blockage of water lines designed to cool the hydropower turbines at dams like Hoover.
The quagga mussels, which grow to about 1.5 inches, are clogging water lines that are used to cool the 17 massive hydropower turbines at Hoover Dam and have already forced dam operators to temporarily shut down turbines that supply electricity to 1.6 million people in southern Nevada, Arizona and California.
The mussels have caused similar problems at the downstream Davis Dam in Lake Mohave and Parker Dam in Lake Havasu, both of which provide electricity for thousands of people in Arizona and California. The mussels have also threatened to clog water intake lines in Lake Mead operated by the Southern Nevada Water System that supply water to more than 2 million people in the Las Vegas area.
What took decades to unfold in the Great Lakes has played out in a matter of months in Lake Mead. Quaggas can lay eggs six or seven times a year in the warmer water, compared with once or twice a year in the Great Lakes.
If you drained Lake Mead above Hoover Dam, says National Park Service biologist Bryan Moore, it would reveal that brown canyon walls that were mussel-free just two years ago are now black with quaggas at densities of up to 55,000 per square meter. The Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the Hoover, Davis and Parker dams, has employed divers with high-pressure water hoses to blow mussels out of pipelines and filter gates, and the agency retains the option of using chlorine treatments on the mussels if necessary.But those treatments are expensive, temporary and, in the case of chlorine, can have negative environmental effects.
Colonization of the Columbia River Basin (CRB) in the Pacific Northwest by zebra and quagga mussel could affect all submerged components and conduits of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) including trash racks, raw water distribution systems (headers), turbine bearing cooling systems, diffuser plates, service and fire-water systems, and fish passage facilities.
Despite the uncertainty about zebra and quagga mussel tolerance to water velocity, irregularities such as cracks and crevices and scaling in older pipes and flanges can provide lower velocity refugia where zebra and quagga mussel settlement can occur. The attached mussels, in turn, then produce additional low flow refuges, allowing colonization in otherwise inhospitable flow environments. Settlement can also occur when water flow is reduced during generation down-time as conditions become more conducive to attachment.
Zebra and quagga mussel densities within the CRB could vary widely depending on water chemistry, food availability, and breeding population. After their initial introduction, zebra mussel populations can rapidly increase by orders of magnitude, and then similarly decrease. Under ideal conditions in the Laurentian Great Lakes zebra mussel densities reach 700,000 - 800,000 per square meter (Kovalak et al, 1993). In the lower Mississippi River, where the zebra mussel has been introduced, densities of 400,000 per square meter have been reported (Kraft, 1995). The Mississippi has an ideal environment for zebra and quagga mussels, in part because food resources are abundant (Kraft, 1995). While Columbia River water quality parameters are favorable to zebra and quagga mussel colonization (Athearn 1999), the Columbia River's lower plankton densities in comparison to the Mississippi or Great Lakes, may limit zebra and quagga mussel population densities.
Densities of zebra and quagga mussels in the Pacific Northwest will determine the severity of impacts on hydropower, navigation, and fish passage facilities. Zebra mussel densities in powerhouses will depend on the configuration of the water systems and water conduit materials. The potential economic impacts of zebra and quagga mussels on hydropower generation facilities in the Columbia River will be determined by a number of factors including density, growth rate, and maintenance costs. While density and growth are affected by environmental factors as noted above, maintenance costs will also be driven by the difficulty in accessing fouled areas, the methods available for removal and control, and the amount of time available for maintenance activities. They prefer to cling to flat, stainless steel structures where water flows less than 6 feet per second. The muscles infestation sets in and begins to clog hydroelectric power cooling pipes and other hardware in the dams' operations with quagga colonies. Not only do they pose a threat to the cooling pipe system for hydroelectric turbines, but also to the network that supplies domestic water for workers and visitors at the dams.
Economic Impacts
o Hydroelectric Dams and Nuclear Power Plants
There are more than 85,000 dams in the United States alone, of which approximately 11% are federally owned and operated. The major concern is the blockage of water lines designed to cool the hydropower turbines at dams like Hoover. This problem has already caused a "significant increase in the frequency of high temperature alarms in cooling systems, requiring shutdowns" so that the mussels could be removed.
Quagga
The quagga mussels, which grow to about 1.5 inches, are clogging water lines that are used to cool the 17 massive hydropower turbines at Hoover Dam and have already forced dam operators to temporarily shut down turbines that supply electricity to 1.6 million people in southern Nevada, Arizona and California.
The mussels have caused similar problems at the downstream Davis Dam in Lake Mohave and Parker Dam in Lake Havasu, both of which provide electricity for thousands of people in Arizona and California. The mussels have also threatened to clog water intake lines in Lake Mead operated by the Southern Nevada Water System that supply water to more than 2 million people in the Las Vegas area.
Maintenance costs will also be driven by the difficulty in accessing fouled areas, the methods available for removal and control, and the amount of time available for maintenance activities. It has been estimated that hundreds of millions of dollars is spent annually to combat the mussel infestation at hydroelectric dams alone, and it is expected that this amount will increase exponentially once the infestation has spread to the West.
Virtually any submerged area with a moderate flow rate that draws water from an infested water source is vulnerable to colonization. This is especially true of areas that offer protection to small mussels, such as crevices or seams. Intake screens, for example, are common settlement areas and are often coated with clumps or druses of mussels. The presence of dislodged shells in the discharge of a facility's raw well or forbay is a common first indicator of the presence of zebra mussels in the raw water main. Facilities may also experience a noticeable decrease in head pressure. Most facilities have numerous components subject to severe biofouling,
o Shipping Industry
The shipping industry worldwide spends huge amounts every year combating the effects of "fouling." Every year or two, ocean going vessels must dry-dock in order to undergo extensive work over two or more weeks to remove barnacles that have attached to the hull. Prior to dry-docking, ships gradually undergo rapid increases in additional fuel costs due to increased drag from fouling. The mechanism involved in fouling occurs in a series of three steps. Within one week, the hull surface is coated with a slimy deposit. Following this, various micro-organisms (bacteria) attach. Barnacles attach to this slimy/bacterial coating and become attached to the ship's hull using a biocement generated by a series of three proteins that undergo a conformational change, within the organism. This cement is one of, if not the strongest cement known to date of anything produced naturally.
The current antifouling paint applied to ship hulls contains toxic chemicals and heavy metals. However, as the international shipping community has been issuing legislation prohibiting the use of these environmentally hazardous substances - the need for alternatives is pressing.
o Recreational Boating Industry
In contrast, Lake Mead Marina predicts the costs to the West's recreational boating industry alone will be immense in the coming few years. Mussels are smothering everything under the waterline at marinas, making simple maintenance on boats and floating docks expensive and time consuming, not to mention dangerous due to the razor-sharp shells being plucked from the water.
The United States Park Service, which figures the mussels have been in Lake Mead since 2005, is trying to protect the rest of the West's waters by requiring boats that have been docked in a slip to be decontaminated with jets of scalding water before departing Lake Mead. A killer hot wash costs about $40 for a small boat and up to $200 for a houseboat.
o Ecological Damage
The infestation of zebra and quagga mussels are wreaking havoc on the native species indigenous to the waterways they inhabit. These mussels attach to other mussel species and crustaceans making it almost impossible for them to eat and survive. While the zebra and quagga do have predator enemies, there are not enough to consume the rapidly growing infestation.
This is more than an ecological concern. The federal government plans to spend over a billion dollars in the coming years to help these species recover, and zebra and quagga mussels have a history of ravaging native species in the waters they invade. In Lake Michigan, for example, prey fish numbers are less than 10% of what they were before the invasive mussels arrived.
Zebra mussels are also believed to be the source of deadly avian botulism poisoning that has killed tens of thousands of birds in the Great Lakes since the late 1990s.
Zebra and quagga mussels accumulate organic pollutants within their tissues to levels more than 300,000 times greater than concentrations in the environment and these pollutants are found in their pseudofeces, which can be passed up the food chain, therefore increasing wildlife exposure to organic pollutants.
Another major threat involves the fouling of native freshwater mussels. Since quaggas were discovered in Lake Michigan in 1998, plankton rings formed by the passage of storms have been eaten away by the quagga mussels, threatening the local ecosystem.
Other zebra and quagga mussel infested applications include:
o Drinking water treatment facilities o Fish hatcheries and aquaculture facilities o Golf courses o Impoundments and reservoirs o Institutions (hospitals, colleges, etc.) o National scenic river ways o Navigation locks o Public agencies o farm irrigation water
Our Advantages
We believe that our proprietary technology provide advantages over potential competitors to meet their objectives.
Proprietary Technology:
We intend to manufacture a product based on proprietary technology that took over ten years to develop.
Our approach allows us to construct and test a targeted peptide in weeks as opposed to the present vaccine development that can take longer than a year to make and test. We have reconstructed the Peptide in such a way that enzymes do not recognize them and therefore will not destroy them. As a result, our targeted Peptide will have the opportunity to perform the objective they were designed to fulfill. Additionally, Peptide based on structures of the naturally occurring barnacle cement proteins are non-toxic, and once sloughed off into seawater, Peptide would be eaten as totally non-toxic food by marine organisms.
The Company has developed proprietary innovative peptide proteomic technologies involving the use of Peptide to create a solution that would effectively prevent zebra and quagga muscles from attaching to equipment, water intake pipes, and even boat hulls to colonize in massive numbers. The Company uses computer algorithms to generate Peptide capable of interacting with biologically significant protein targets. When fully developed, Peptide Technologies' peptide solution will slow the rate of zebra and quagga mussel fouling as well as to eliminate the harm to water users and marine life through the use of safe, environmentally-friendly natural Peptide . While the production of an underwater adhesive that mimics the properties of mussels has been an ongoing field of research, Peptide Technologies is focused on proteins that comprise the glue that affixes the byssal threads of the zebra and quagga mussels to hard surfaces.
We have two designs that we are launching for use by the shipping and boating industry based upon our technology:
o The first was the design of specific peptide inhibitors of a bacteria that attaches to a ship's hull, which could be incorporated into paint used to coat the hull following defouling in dry-dock. The Peptide would prevent attachment of the bacteria and subsequent attachment of the barnacles. Furthermore, any release of the Peptide into the ocean as the paint wears off, would not pose any environmental threat since Peptide are biodegradable natural proteins.
o The second approach was the design of peptide inhibitors that will prevent folding of the proteins in barnacles that generate the powerful cement that "glue" them to the ship's hull. Both of the above approaches offered the shipping industry a solution to an age old problem costing literally billions of dollars in lost time at sea (dry-dock scraping of barnacles and painting) and significantly reduced fuel costs by preventing any increase in drag.
Principal Products and Services
The Company intends to develop and provide a sustainable natural solution that addresses the economic burdens caused by the zebra and quagga mussels, without harming other organisms or depleting a segment of the natural food chain.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We have not incurred any costs to date relating to research and development and have no plans to undertake any research and development activities within the next twelve months.
Facilities and Properties
We do not own our own facilities and are presently renting an identity office in Seattle, Washington.
Employees
Our officers and directors are responsible for planning, developing and operational duties and will continue to do so throughout the early stages of our growth. We have no intentions in hiring any employees until our business has sufficient and reliable revenue from operations and do not expect to hire any such employees in the next twelve months.
ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
The Company has a lack of revenue history and has had a limited history of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- operations. ----------
Peptide was formed on November 18, 2005 for the purpose of engaging in any lawful business and had adopted a plan to engage the sale of art work over the internet. The Company had minimal revenues. On July 29, 2010 the Company's name changed from Online Originals, Inc. to CREENERGY Corporation. The name change was intended to convey a sense of the Company's new business focus as it looks to pursue other opportunities. Specifically, the Company intended to obtain leases for the exploration and production of oil and gas in northern Alberta, Canada. The Company was unable to identified any prospects or enter into any leases or agreements.
On August 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase to acquire intangible assets and intellectual property known as the Peptide Technology Platform. The Peptide Technology Platform includes the technology platforms for developing a variety of drug candidates and biological solutions for existing problems in humans, animals and the environment. Effective October 12, 2011, the Company changed its name to Peptide Technologies, Inc. in order to better convey a sense of the Company's new business focus. At the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is not profitable. Peptide must be regarded as a start-up venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, risks and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.
Peptide can give no assurance of success or profitability to the Company's -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- investors. ---------
There is no assurance that Peptide will ever operate profitably. There is no assurance that the Company will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of the Company's common stock will be increased thereby.
The Company will need additional financing for which Peptide has no -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- commitments, and this may jeopardize execution of the Company's business plan. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's capital needs consist primarily of expenses related to expenses incurred with maintaining its reporting status and could exceed $50,000 in the next twelve months. Such funds are not currently committed, and Peptide's cash as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10K of approximately $5,000.
Peptide has limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to carry out the business plan. The Company's ultimate success depends upon its ability to raise additional capital. The Company has not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do
so until it determines a need for additional financing. If the Company needs additional capital, it has no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, Peptide's operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its modest capital.
We will incur expenses in connection with our sec filing requirements and we may -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- not be able to meet such costs, which could jeopardize our filing status with -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the SEC. -------
As a public reporting company we are required to meet the filing requirements of the SEC. We may see an increase in our legal and accounting expenses as a result of such requirements. We estimate such costs on an annualized basis to be approximately $50,000, which includes both the annual audit and the review of the quarterly reports by our auditors. These costs can increase significantly if the Company is subject comment from the SEC on its filings and/or we are required to file supplemental filings for transactions and activities. If we are not compliant in meeting the filing requirements of the SEC, we could lose our status as a 1934 Act Company, which could compromise our ability to raise funds.
Peptide is not diversified and it is dependent on only one business. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to diversify its operations. Peptide's probable inability to diversify its activities into more than one area will subject the Company to economic fluctuations within the industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's operations due to lack of diversification.
The Company may in the future issue more shares which could cause a loss of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- control by its present management and current stockholders. ----------------------------------------------------------
Peptide may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of its authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control the Company, and persons unknown could replace the Company's management at this time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of Peptide by its current shareholders, which could present significant risks to investors.
Peptide will depend upon management but it will have limited participation of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- management. ----------
The Company currently has two individuals who are serving as its officers and directors. The Company will be heavily dependent upon their skills, talents, and abilities, as well as several consultants to Peptide , to implement the Company's business plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officers, directors and consultants to devote their full-time attention to Peptide business results in a delay in progress toward implementing the Company's business plan.
Peptide does not know of any reason other than outside business interests that would prevent them from devoting full-time to its Company, when the business may demand such full-time participation.
The departure of our key personnel could compromise our ability to execute our -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- strategic plan and may result in additional severance costs to us. -----------------------------------------------------------------
Our success largely depends on the skills, experience and efforts of our key personnel. The loss of these persons, or our failure to retain other key personnel, would jeopardize our ability to execute our strategic plan and materially harm our business.
We will need to recruit and retain additional qualified personnel to -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- successfully grow our business. ------------------------------
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to attract and retain qualified operations, marketing and sales personnel as well as engineers. Inability to attract and retain such personnel could adversely affect the growth of our business. We expect to face competition in the recruitment of qualified personnel, and we can provide no assurance that we will attract or retain such personnel.
Risks Related to our Stock:
The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of our securities. -----------------
The Company is a "penny stock" company. None of our securities currently trade in any market and, if ever available for trading, will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than
established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
Our officers and directors collectively own a substantial portion of our -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- outstanding common stock, and as long as they do, they may be able to control -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the outcome of stockholder voting. ---------------------------------
Our officers and directors are collectively the beneficial owners of approximately 38% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As long as our officers and directors collectively own a significant percentage of our common stock, our other shareholders may generally be unable to affect or change the management or the direction of our company without the support of our officers and directors. As a result, some investors may be unwilling to purchase our common stock. If the demand for our common stock is reduced because our officers and directors have significant influence over our company, the price of our common stock could be materially depressed. The officers and directors will be able to exert significant influence over the outcome of all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendments to our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions.
We may seek to raise additional funds or develop strategic relationships by -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- issuing capital stock. ---------------------
We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations and develop strategic relationships, by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, which could significantly reduce or dilute the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of stock to decline.
We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, and the holders of any debt we may issue would have rights superior to your rights in the event we are not successful and are forced to seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws.
The Company will pay no foreseeable dividends in the future. -----------------------------------------------------------
The Company has not paid dividends on our common stock and do not ever anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On November 22, 2010, the Company was served with a claim filed by a former director and officer of the Company. The claim alleges that the former director and officer of the Company suffered losses and damages as a result of the failure of the Company in providing him with corporate documents and implementing a change of the board of directors. The Company has retained legal counsel to address the claim. On December 8, 2010, the Company filed a Statement of Defense requesting that the claim be dismissed. In the opinion of management, this claim is without merit and the Company intends to defend this claim vigorously.
Other than the above, the Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings, nor is the Company aware of any civil proceeding or government authority contemplating any legal proceeding as of the date of this filing.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During the years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company made the following sales and issuances of its unregistered securities.
On August 23, 2011, the Company issued a total of 75,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for intangible assets and intellectual property referred to as the Peptide Technology Platforms. 15,000,000 of these shares were issued for Finders/Founders fees and services. On December 21, 2012, 30,000,000 of these shares were returned to treasury and cancelled based on further evaluation of the assets value.

Cautionary and Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to statements of historical fact, this Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. The presentation of future aspects of Peptide Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Issuer") found in these statements is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," or "could" or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the Company in those statements. Important facts that could prevent the Company from achieving any stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) volatility or decline of the Company's stock price;
(b) potential fluctuation in quarterly results;
(c) failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits;
(d) inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans;
(e) failure to make sales on an increasing basis;
(f) rapid and significant changes in markets;
(g) litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties; and
(h) insufficient revenues to cover operating costs.
There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable, the Company may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market its products and services, the Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and personnel, the Company's products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder the Company's business, additional dilution in outstanding stock
ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in the Company's businesses.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should carefully review the factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve (12) Months
The following discussion of the plan of operation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in financial position of our Company should be read in conjunction with our most recent financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Our registered public accounting firm's audit report on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended November 30, 2012, includes a "going concern" explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to the factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below.
On August 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase to acquire intangible assets and intellectual property known as the Peptide Technology Platform. The Peptide Technology Platform includes the technology platforms for developing a variety of drug candidates and biological solutions for existing mussel problems in the environment. Effective October 12, 2011, the Company changed its name to Peptide Technologies, Inc. in order to better convey a sense of the Company's new business focus.
Peptide Technologies, Inc. is a development stage company that is engaged in the development and manufacture of safe "green" peptide-based products used to combat the rapidly growing problems caused by the quagga and zebra mussel infestation in U.S. and Canadian waters.
We have no employees at the present time, other than our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President of Operations and Communications. We will continue to operate with very limited administrative support as our current officers continue to be responsible for developing and operational duties. We began accruing salaries for these officers during our fourth quarter of this past fiscal year. They are entitled to receive reimbursement for all out of pocket expenses incurred for attendance at our Board of Directors meetings.
Our continuing operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financing, the support of creditors and shareholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we will be successful, which would in turn significantly affect our ability to complete our business plan. If not, we will likely be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements.
We believe we do not have sufficient cash resources to satisfy our needs through the end of November 30, 2013. Our ability to satisfy cash requirements thereafter and the need for additional funding is dependent on our ability to generate revenue from our business in sufficient quantity and on a profitable basis. To the extent that we require additional funds to support our operations or the expansion of our business, we may attempt to sell additional equity shares or issue debt. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. Should we require additional cash in the future, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition
At November 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $803,823 compared to working capital deficit of $197,340 at November 30, 2011. At November 30, 2012, our total assets consisted of cash of $7,780, prepaid expenses of $3,494, website of $9,167 and intangible assets and intellectual property of $45,000. This compares with our total assets at November 30, 2011, which consisted of cash of $1,656, prepaid expenses of $127, and intangible assets and intellectual property of $75,000.
At November 30, 2012, our total current liabilities, consisting of accounts payable of $29,217, accrued liabilities of $254,500, accrued payroll and bonus of $447,000, accrued interest on notes payable of $3,374, and notes payable of $81,006. Whereas, at November 30, 2011, our total liabilities consisted of accounts payable of $29,848, accrued liabilities of $109,062, accrued interest on notes payable of $117 and a notes payable of $60,096.
Result of Operations - New Developments
We recognized no revenues from discontinued operations during both fiscal years ending November 30, 2012 and 2011. We have not received any revenue since our inception of the New Developments which began June 26, 2010. Our short and long-term survival is dependent on funding from sales of securities as necessary or from shareholder loans.
During the year ended November 30, 2012, we incurred operating expenses of $654,986 compared to operating expenses of $212,029 for the year ended November 30, 2011. The principal component of losses in 2012 were accrued payroll and bonus expenses of $447,000, consulting expense of $145,000, professional fees of $46,759, and office and administration of $16,226; compared with the principal component losses in 2011 which were consulting expense of $105,975, professional fees of $42,755, supplies of $59,130, and office and administration of $4,169. During the year ended November 30, 2012, expenses incurred by the Company increased significantly. These increased costs were due to restructuring the Company to developing the new focus and direction for the Company which resulted in an increase in salaries and bonus expense of $447,000, consulting fees of $39,025, and office/administration fees of $12,058.
The net loss for the year ended November 30, 2012 was $650,236 compared to a net loss of $212,146 for the year ended November 30, 2011. From the point of re-entry into the development state on June 26, 2010 to November 30, 2012, we have incurred a net loss of $898,221.
We believe our existing cash balance is not sufficient to carry our normal operations for the next 12 months. To the extent that we require additional funds to support our operations or the expansion of our business, we may attempt to sell additional equity shares or issue debt. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available to our company or on acceptable terms.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies and related estimates that affect the Company's financial disclosures.
Foreign Currency Translations
The financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their U.S. dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
ITEM 7A.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
We believe our market risk exposures arise primarily from exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates. We presently only transact business in Canadian and U.S. Dollars. We believe that the exchange rate risk surrounding the future transactions of the Company will not materially or adversely affect our future earnings. We do not believe that we are subject to any seasonal trends. We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage risks or for speculative or trading purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Peptide Technologies, Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the balance sheets of Peptide Technologies, Inc.(A Development Stage Company) (the "Company") as of 30 November 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of loss and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in stockholders' (deficit) for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 30 November 2012 and 2011,and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then endedin conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanyingfinancial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Financial Statements (Expressed in U.S. Dollars) November 30, 2012
PEPTIDE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE AND CONTINUENCE OF OPERATIONS
a) Organization
PEPTIDE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America, on November 18, 2005. On July 29, 2010, the Company's name was changed from Online Originals, Inc. to CREEnergy Corporation. Effective October 12, 2011, the Company's name was changed from CREEnergy Corporation to Peptide Technologies, Inc. The Company's year-end is November 30.
b) Nature of Operations and Change in Business
Since the date of inception on November 18, 2005, the Company's business plan was to develop a membership-based website art gallery/auction house specifically focused on displaying and selling original artwork. The Company changed its status from a development 	 stage company to an operating company on November 30, 2009. Management 	 realized that the results of operations from the sale of artwork lacks 	 luster and decided to change the Company's business focus and plan for 	 other strategic opportunities and discontinued the sale of artwork 	 with effect from June 25, 2010. Effective June 26, 2010, the Company 	 became a development stage company focusing on a new business.
	 On August 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase 	 Agreement in which the Company, in exchange for 75,000,000 shares of 	 the Company's restricted common stock, will receive all rights and 	 title to proprietary technologies and formulas involving the 	 application of specialty Peptide. The Company has changed its business 	 focus to the manufacturing and distribution of natural peptide 	 solutions to combat the economic burden caused by the zebra and quagga 	 mussels to the hydropower electricity industry.
c) Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has negative working capital at August 31, 2012 and has total losses to date of approximately $1,004,058. The Company requires additional funding to meet its 	 ongoing obligations and anticipated ongoing operating losses. The 	 ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on 	 raising capital to fund its initia l business plan and ultimately to 	 attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise 	 substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going 	 concern. The Company intends to continue to fund its business by way 	 of private placements and advances from shareholders as may be 	 required.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars.
a) Organizational and Start-up Costs
Costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 720-15, "Start-Up Costs."
PEPTIDE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
b) Development-Stage Company
On or around June 25, 2010, the Company abandoned its previous business of sale of original artwork and re-entered the development stage with its intended new business, which currently has no revenues. Management expects to sustain losses from operations until such time it can generate sufficient revenues to meet its anticipated cost structure. The Company is considered a development-stage company in accordance with the ASC 915, "Accounting and Reporting by Development-Stage Enterprises." A development-stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
c) Income Taxes
The Company adopted the ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes." ASC 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
d) Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
In accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share," the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings per share are not shown for periods in which the Company incurs a loss because it would be anti-dilutive. At November 30, 2012, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation.
e) Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or currency risks arising from these financial statements.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. At November 30, 2012, approximately $938 of cash or cash equivalents was not insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.
f) Foreign Currency Translations
The financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. In accordance with ASC 830 "Foreign Currency Matters," foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their U.S. dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
PEPTIDE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
g) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted ASC 220, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." ASC 220 requires that the components and total amounts of comprehensive income be displayed in the financial statements beginning in 1998. Comprehensive income includes net income and all changes in equity during a period that arises from non-owner sources, such as foreign currency items and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in equity securities.
h) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
i) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, he Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2012-02, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other."This update presents an entity with the option to first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill." The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent. ASU No. 2012-02 will be effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2011, FASB issued ASUNo. 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income." This update amends certain pending paragraphs in ASU No. 2011-05 "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," to effectively defer only those changes that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private, and non-profit entities. ASU No. 2011-12 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. As ASU No. 2011-12 relates only to the presentation of comprehensive income, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU No. 2011-08 will be effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
PEPTIDE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income." This update presents an entity with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU No. 2011-05 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. As ASU No. 2011-05 relates only to the presentation of Comprehensive Income, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
k) Reclassifications
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year's financial statement presentation with no effect on earnings.
l) Other
The Company consists of one reportable business segment.
The Company paid no dividends during the periods presented.

9. INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to foreign and domestic income taxes. The Company has had no income, and therefore has paid no income tax.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company's deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards. The NOL carry forwards expire in various years through 2032. The Company's deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the NOL carry-forwards. NOL carry-forwards may be further limited by a change in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.
The Company's deferred tax assets, valuation allowance, and change in valuation allowance are as follows:
Income taxes at the statutory rate are reconciled to the Company's actual income taxes as follows:
2012 2011 Income tax benefit at statutory rate resulting from net operating loss carry forward (35%) (35%) Deferred income tax valuation allowance 35% 35% ------------ --------- Actual tax rate 0% 0% ============ =========
As at November 30, 2012, the Company is in arrears on filing its statutory corporate income tax returns and the amounts presented above are based on estimates. The actual losses available could differ from these estimates.

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed for the purposes of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Company's SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) as of January 2, 2013 (the "Evaluation Date") concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information relating to the Company would be made known to them by individuals within those entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report was being prepared and that information required to be disclosed in the Company's SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our management, with the participation of the President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of November 30, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses in the system of internal control. Specifically, management identified the following control deficiency:
- The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.
Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting ----------------------------------------------------
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
