PURERAY CORPORATION
(a development stage company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2009
(unaudited)
1. Background
PureRay Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Washington, U.S.A. on March 24, 2000 and is a Development Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting for Enterprises in the Development Stage”.
During fiscal 2003 the Company changed its name from FAR Group, Inc. to North American Natural Gas, Inc. (“NAGA”) as it had anticipated that it would undertake a new business purpose in the oil and gas exploration industry. As described more fully hereunder, NAGA consummated a series of transactions in 2008 through which it was merged with PureRay Corporation (a Canadian corporation, “PureCanada”) and changed its name to that of the acquired company.
PureCanada was incorporated in Canada in September 2007. On July 24, 2008, PureCanada and NAGA, a publicly held “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the “Securities Exchange Act”) consummated a series of transactions (the “Acquisition”) through which NAGA acquired an indirect 100% interest in PureCanada. After the Acquisition, the Company remains a Development Stage Company. PureCanada has developed a proprietary technology for multiplexing light bulbs and light bulb charging stations designed to meet the demand for “off-grid” lighting in the developing world. It is currently engaged in activities to patent the technology and to manufacture product prototypes.
In connection with the Acquisition, the following transactions were completed:
a. |
PureCanada issued 35,855,000 shares to founders and investors, of which 15,185,000 shares (subscribed as of April 30, 2008) were issued for $0.00001 per share in cash, and 20,670,000 shares were issued as consideration for the transfer to PureCanada of certain intangible assets by the founders of PureCanada. | |
b. |
NAGA declared a 1.76 forward split of its common stock on May 23, 2008, after which there were 34,870,000 shares of its common stock outstanding. | |
c. |
Xxx Xxxxxx, the former President and a former director of NAGA, contributed 21,370,000 post-split restricted shares of NAGA’s Common Stock to NAGA as a capital contribution for no consideration, after which there were 13,500,000 shares of NAGA’s common stock outstanding. | |
d. |
Pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement, NAGA acquired, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”), all of the outstanding shares of PureCanada by issuing one (1) exchangeable share (the “Exchangeable Shares”) of Acquisition Sub for each share of PureCanada (total Exchangeable Shares issued, 35,855,000). The Exchangeable Shares are non-voting but have other rights and privileges on a basis pari passu with the common stock of the Company. | |
e. |
Under a Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), the Company issued shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Special Voting Stock”), in a ratio of a quarter (1/4) share of Special Voting Stock for each Exchangeable Share issued in connection with the Acquisition (for a total of 8,963,750 shares of Special Voting Stock) to a trustee to be held for and on behalf of the registered holders of the Exchangeable Shares. | |
f. |
NAGA completed a private placement (the “Offering”) of 2,000,000 units at a price of $1.00 per unit, whereby each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for a period of six months. As of January 24, 2009, the Warrants have expired. | |
g. |
The former sole director of NAGA appointed three holders of Exchangeable Shares to the Company’s Board of Directors and subsequently resigned from the Board of Directors. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2009
(unaudited)
2. Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited financial statements are special purpose financial statements prepared solely for information purposes in connection with the Planned Divestiture (Note 5) and have not been reviewed by the Company’s independent accountants. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, except as follows:
1. |
The financial statements do not include the assets and liabilities and results of operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Form 10-Q to be filed by March 17, 2009. | |
2. |
Advances by the Company to PureCanada ($1,922,100 as of January 31, 2009), which are eliminated in consolidated financial statements, have been charged to expense in the accompanying statement of operations, as such amount will not be repaid by PureCanada or otherwise recovered by the Company. | |
3. |
The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2008, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on July 24, 2008 with the SEC. | |
4. |
The Statements of Operations exclude per share data. | |
5. |
The financial statements do not include a provision under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R to recognize compensation expense for the fair value of -warrants granted to non-employees (Note 3). Consulting expense related to such warrants was treated as an expense of PureCanada and has not been recognized in the stand-alone financial statements of the parent company. | |
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company does not have sufficient cash nor does it have an established source of revenue to cover its ongoing costs of operations. As of January 31, 2009, the Company has never generated any revenues and has accumulated losses of $2,362,455 since its inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
3. |

Warrants issued for services-In October 2008, the Company granted warrants to a non-employee for the purchase of 750,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, based upon the average trading price of the Company’s common stock for the immediately succeeding five days following the date of grant. The warrants vest in four quarterly installments beginning November 1, 2009. The fair value of the warrants will be amortized to consulting expense over the vesting period at the fair value of the warrants at each vesting date. PureCanada recognized $26,250 of consulting expense for the three months ended January 31, 2009, estimated using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.6%; expected life of 5.3 years; expected volatility of 75%; and an expected dividend yield of 0.0%. |
c. |
2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2008 Option Plan”)—The Company adopted the 2008 Option Plan in October 2008. The 2008 Option Plan authorizes up to 5,500,000 common shares for the grant of options or restricted stock to qualified recipients, including employees and non-employees. The exercise price of options and the value established for restricted shares will be the then current fair value per common share. Vesting schedules and other terms will be determined by the Board of Directors upon each grant under the plan. No options or restricted shares had been granted as of January 31, 2009. |
4. |
Related Party Transactions |
As of January 31, 2009, $49,500 was due to a shareholder and former president of the Company for cash advanced to the Company. The advance is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.
At April 30, 2008, the Company had $100,000 outstanding under a non-interest bearing demand loan from an unrelated third party. The Company advanced the funds to PureCanada to pay certain costs and expenses in contemplation of the Acquisition. The Company subsequently borrowed an additional $150,000 under the loan agreement and advanced those funds to PureCanada. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company repaid in full the $250,000 outstanding balance of the loan.
From the proceeds of the loan (above) and the Offering (Note 1) the Company has advanced a total of $1,922,100 to PureCanada to fund its development stage operations. In connection with the planned divesture described more fully in Note 5, the advances will not be repaid by PureCanada.
5. Subsequent Event -- Planned Divestiture
The board of directors of the Company has determined to unwind the Acquisition, divest its holdings in PureRay Holdings and PureCanada and place the Company in, as nearly as practical, the same position it was in prior to the entering into the Share Purchase Agreement and related agreements. On March 17, 2009, the Company entered into a Divestiture Agreement to effect the unwind and divestiture. Under the terms of the Divestiture Agreement, a series of transactions will occur the result of which will be to transfer ownership of PureRay Holdings and PureCanada to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares. The Exchangeable Shares issued by PureCanada and the Special Voting Stock and all warrants and options previously issued by the Company will be cancelled. Any amounts previously advanced to PureCanada will be treated as a capital contribution to PureCanada. Any assets and liabilities related to the operation of PureCanada since the date of the Acquisition will be retained by PureCanada. As of January 31, 2009, all assets and liabilities reflected in the consolidated balance sheet, with the exception of the $49,500 note payable to a shareholder (Note 4), are related to the operations of PureCanada and will be retained by PureCanada after the divestiture.
The closing of the Divestiture Agreement is subject to several conditions with respect to the Company, PureRay Holdings, PureCanada and the Principals as set forth in the Divestiture Agreement, including the condition that the Divestiture Agreement be approved by two-thirds of the outstanding voting power of the Company pursuant to Section 12.020(5) of the Washington Business Corporation Act. Further, existing shareholders have the right to dissent pursuant to Section 13.020(1)(c) of the Washington Business Corporation Act.
In connection with the Divestiture Agreement, on March 17, 2009, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Xxxxx Xxxxx pursuant to which Xx. Xxxxx purchased 20,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock in consideration of $20,000.
