NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Krossbow Holding Corp. on September 17, 2009.  The original business plan of the Company was focused on offsetting carbon dioxide (C02) emissions through the creation and protection of forest-based carbon “sinks.” The Company has since abandoned its original business plan and restructured its business to focus on man-made diamond technology development and commercialization.

On July 13, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to authorize a 2-for-1 forward split of its issued and outstanding common shares, whereby every one (1) old share of common stock was to be exchanged for two new shares of the Company’s common stock, effective on August 5, 2011. As a result, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 3,200,000 prior to the forward split to 6,400,000 following the forward split.  The forward split shares are payable upon surrender of certificates to the Company’s transfer agent.  The accompanying financial statements and notes give retroactive effect to the forward split for all periods presented.

Prior to October 1, 2012, the Company was a development stage company.  Developmental activities have ceased and planned principal operations have commenced.

Going Concern

The Company has generated very little revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.  For the period from inception, September 17, 2009, through December 31, 2012, the Company has accumulated losses of $6,910,972.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has responded to these circumstances by taking the following actions:

·                  Focused efforts on the construction and start-up of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in South Carolina in order to begin production and generate revenues.

·                  Ongoing solicitation of investment in the Company in the form of a private placement of common shares (and warrants to acquire common shares) to accredited investors.

·                  Responded to potential customer contacts in order to meet potential orders immediately upon production start-up.

In the opinion of management, these actions will be sufficient to provide the Company with the liquidity it needs to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will successfully implement these plans.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounting Basis

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month interim periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  All interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year.  The balance sheet at March 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Net loss per share is presented under two formats: basic net loss per common share, which is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net loss per common share, which is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and the weighted average dilutive potential common shares outstanding, computed using the treasury stock method. Currently, for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as the inclusion of weighted average shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes the number of securities outstanding at each of the periods presented, which were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is on a straight line basis beginning at the time it is placed in service, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the asset (generally three to five years).

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Manufacturing equipment was placed into service beginning July 1, 2012.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. The carrying value of inventory is reviewed and adjusted based upon slow moving and obsolete items. Inventory costs include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead.  The components of inventories are as follows:

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, such as acquired in-process research and development costs, are considered to have an indefinite useful life until such time as they are put into service at which time they will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their economic or legal useful life.  Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment.  Management reviews

Table of Contents

definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges as of December 31, 2012.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2012 intangible assets in the amount of $6,395,923 were assigned to specific patents and considered placed in service due to their inherent nature in the Company’s manufacturing process.  These patents are being amortized over a period ranging from 6.75 years to 15.67 years.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature contains three levels as follows:

Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2— Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

In addition, GAAP requires the Company to disclose the fair value for financial assets on both a recurring and non-recurring basis.  On August 31, 2011, the Company issued to certain current and former stockholders of Apollo Diamond Inc. (“ADI”) that were at that time accredited investors subscription rights valued at $11,040,000 for the purchase of ADI assets disclosed in Note 2 measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  The fair value of the ADI subscription rights was determined based on an appraisal which used the Black-Scholes model whose assumptions were considered by management to be a Level 3 input. During June 2012, the Company issued to certain current and former stockholders of Apollo Diamond Gemstone Corporation (“ADGC”) that are accredited investors subscription rights valued at $790,000 for the purchase of ADGC assets disclosed in Note 2 measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  The fair value of the ADGC subscription rights was determined using the Black-Scholes model whose assumptions were considered by management to be a Level 3 input.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 445,014 warrants outstanding with exercise prices of $0.70 per share. The warrants expire in 2016 and 2017.  The warrants were issued by the Company as compensation for consulting work and placement agent services, and in exchange for cash discounts on facility rent, and are valued at $0.52 per warrant using the Black-Scholes model.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets and trade accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of products has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For our Company, this generally means that we recognize revenue when we or our fabrication vendor has shipped finished product to the customer. Our sales terms do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to any manufacturing defects on our part.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Guidance on Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  ASU 2011-08 gives entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test.  If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required.  Otherwise, further testing would not be needed.  ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed unaudited financial statements.

In July 2012 the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (the revised standard).  The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment.  It allows companies to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test.  The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company will adopt this new standard in 2013 and the Company does not anticipate that its adoption will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company that will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon

NOTE 2 — ASSET PURCHASES

The Company purchased certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and certain intellectual property related thereto.  The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually, plus the subscription rights for certain current and former stockholders of ADI that are accredited investors to acquire approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADI Offering”).  The Company has estimated the fair value of these ADI subscription rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share to be $0.69 per right.  At the date of the transaction, the fair value of the subscription rights was $11,040,000, and this amount was credited to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the ADI subscription rights was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 0.1%, and an expected life of 1 year.  The promissory note from this asset purchase was settled in full in December 2012.

The following table reflects our purchase price allocation of the assets at the time of acquisition:

The Company completed a third-party valuation to determine the fair value of the assets acquired.  The final amounts allocated to the ADI assets acquired are based upon the results of that valuation appraisal.

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired certain of the assets of ADGC (the “ADGC Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that were at the time accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADGC Offering”) with the intent that the ADI Offering be conducted substantially concurrently with the ADGC Offering (collectively, the “ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering”).  The Company paid the $100,000 cash portion of the ADGC Asset Purchase during the month of December 2012.  The ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering began in June and was substantially completed as of December 31, 2012.  The Company has estimated the fair value of such subscription rights to be $0.79 per right.  At the date of the transaction, the aggregate fair value of such subscription rights was $790,000, and this amount was credited to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of such rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: estimated volatility of 100%, risk free interest rate of 0.1%, and an expected life of 3 months.

Table of Contents

The following table reflects our preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets:

The Company is in the process of obtaining appraisals of the assets acquired and expects to adjust the purchase price allocation no later than March 31, 2013, as necessary.

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,336,708 shares of common stock pursuant to the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering and on that date the Company had issued 14,337,473 shares under the ADI and ADGC subscription rights.  On December 31, 2012 a maximum of 2,662,527 shares remained available to be issued as part of the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  The Company is in the process of matching ADI and ADGC records with subscription documents submitted by former ADI and ADGC shareholders and expects to be completed by March 31, 2013.  As of February 11, 2013 a total of 15,576,973 shares had been issued under these rights.

NOTE 3 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company evaluated its patent portfolio and allocated $6,359,924 of acquired in-process research and development to specific patents that are being used by the Company for its manufacturing operations. These patents were considered in service by the Company during the quarter and the values assigned are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining effective lives of the patents.

Intangible assets consist of the following:

Total amortization expense during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $156,106.  There was no amortization expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Total annual amortization expense of intangible assets is estimated to be as follows:

NOTE 4 — NOTES PAYABLE

In conjunction with the purchase of certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, the Company entered into a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually.  The promissory note was paid in full during the month of December 2012.

NOTE 5 — CAPITAL STOCK

The authorized capital of the Company is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $ 0.001 per share.

In December 2009, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $0.002 per share, for total cash proceeds of $4,000.

In January through March 2010, the Company issued 4,400,000 shares of common stock, post 2-for-1 forward split, at a price of $0.005 per share for total cash proceeds of $22,000.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 18,717,570 shares of common stock.  On August 5, 2011, 3,200,000 shares were issued in a 2-for-1 forward split from Krossbow Holding Corp. shareholders.  As part of a private placement, 2,517,570 shares were issued at a price of $0.70 per share for total cash proceeds, net of fees, of $1,679,064.  13,000,000 shares were issued at a market value price of $0.02 per share to purchase the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” (the “Scio name”) for a total purchase price of $260,000.  The Company purchased the Scio name from a privately-held Nevada corporation named Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (“Private Scio”).  The Company and Private Scio are entities under common control.  ASC 805-50-30-5 states that when accounting for a transfer of assets between entities under common control, the entity that receives the asset shall initially measure the recognized asset at the carrying amount in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of the transfer.  As the Scio name acquired had no carrying value, the value of the shares given to purchase the Scio name were recorded as a deemed distribution so that the accounting basis of the Scio name remained at zero.  In addition, the Company issued 17 million subscription rights with an exercise price of $0.01 per share to certain current and former stockholders of ADI and ADGC as part of the ADI and ADGC asset purchases discussed in Note 2.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 3,908,000 shares at a price of $0.70 per share for total cash proceeds, net of fees, of $2,672,059.  In January 2012, the Company issued 1,875,500 shares of common stock at a price of $0.70 for total net cash proceeds of $94,499.

During the three months ending June 30, 2012, Company issued 2,538,750 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at a strike price of $1.60 at a unit price of $0.80 for total net cash proceeds of $1,998,920.

During the three months ending September 30, 2012, Company issued 2,040,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at a strike price of $1.60 at a unit price of $0.80 for total net cash proceeds of $1,624,257.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 13,000,765 shares under the ADI and ADGC subscription rights.

During the three months ending December 31, 2012, Company issued 312,500 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at a strike price of $1.60 at a unit price of $0.80 for total net cash proceeds of $250,000.

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,336,708 shares of common stock pursuant to the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.

The Company had 45,241,793 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2012 of which 1,000,000 were held in treasury.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 445,014 warrants outstanding with exercise prices of $.70 per share.  The warrants expire in 2016 and 2017.  The warrants were issued by the Company as compensation for consulting work and placement agent services, and in exchange for cash discounts on facility rent are valued at $.52 per warrant using the Black-Scholes model.

The assumptions used and the calculated fair value of the warrants issued is as follows:

NOTE 6 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On November 30, 2012, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer resigned from the Company.  Pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with their respective resignations, an aggregate of 2,725,000 unvested and an aggregate of 1,400,000 vested stock options, for a total of 4,125,000 stock options, previously granted to these officers were forfeited.  The financial impact of these forfeitures is a reduction of stock based compensation of $221,719 during the three months ended December 31, 2012. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer surrendered 1,000,000 share of common stock with $0.001 par value to the Company, which are held in treasury.

On December 5, 2012, the Company granted to Stephen D. Kelley, its then newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer options to purchase a total of 3,200,000 shares of the Company’s stock at $1.01 per share, which was equal to the closing price on the date of the grant.  Of the 3,200,000 stock options, 600,000 stock options vested immediately upon employment and 2,600,000 stock options were to vest upon the achievement of specific management objectives including employment tenure, cumulative cash flow and cumulative revenue.  As of the date of grant, management of the Company anticipated that the average term of the options granted to Mr. Kelley would be five years, and the Company reserved a pool of shares to be issued upon exercise of such options.  Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, management determined that the options issued on December 5, 2012 had a value of $0.75 per option on the date of the grant, and total compensation costs of $512,500 were recognized for certain of these options as of December 31, 2012.  Compensation expense for the remaining options would have been immediately recognized when management determined that the relevant objectives had become reasonably probable to occur.  As discussed below in Note 8, Mr. Kelley resigned from the Company effective January 24, 2013.  No options granted to Mr. Kelley had been exercised as of his date of resignation, and accordingly pursuant to his stock option award agreement, all his stock options were forfeited on that date.  The Company anticipates that $62,500 of the stock option expense recognized in the three months ending December 2012 will be reversed in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013.

On December 14, 2012, the Company granted the four then existing members of its Board of Directors options to purchase a total of 250,000 shares of the Company’s stock as compensation for serving on the Board during 2012.  These options were fully vested on the date granted.  The grant price of $1.02 was equal to the closing price on the date of grant.  Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, management has determined the options issued on December 14, 2012 had a value of $0.63 per option on the date of the grant.  Total compensation costs of $157,500 have been recognized for these options as of December 31, 2012.

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $457,230 and $1,724,979 and $0 and $0, respectively, as compensation cost for options issued, and recorded related deferred tax asset of $0 for all periods.

The assumptions used and the calculated fair value of the December 5, 2012 options are as follows:

The assumptions used and the calculated fair value of the December 14, 2012 options are as follows:

At December 31, 2012, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards was $2,095,326.  Of this amount $1,887,500 was related to options granted to Stephen D. Kelley, our former Chief Executive Officer.

The following is an analysis of options to purchase shares of the Company’s stock issued and outstanding:

The intrinsic value of options outstanding and of options exercisable at December 31, 2012 was $543,275 and $317,255, respectively.

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTIES

The Company incurred expenses of $30,410 and $86,433 for professional and consulting services provided by AdamsMonahan, LLP, a firm in which our board members, Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan, are partners, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not incur expenses for professional and consulting services provided by AdamsMonahan, LLP.

On August 5, 2011, the Company executed the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement with Private Scio.  Under the terms of the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” and acquired other rights from Private Scio for 13,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company.  Our directors Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan were directors of Private Scio and Joseph D. Lancia, our former Chief Executive Officer, was an officer of Private Scio, and they owned 31.5%, 31.5% and 15.4%, respectively, of Private Scio.  At the time that the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement was executed, Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan had control of the Company.  Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan each acquired, directly or indirectly, 4,100,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, and Mr. Lancia acquired 2,000,000 shares pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Company purchased certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto.  The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012, plus the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADI to acquire approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share.  These rights were valued at $11,040,000 in total using the Black-Scholes model.  Both Mr. Adams, in an executive role, and Mr. Monahan previously served in various capacities with ADI through early 2011.

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of ADGC, consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share.  These rights were valued at $790,000 in total using the Black-Scholes model.    Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan served in various capacities with ADGC through early 2011.

The ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering began in June 2012 and has been substantially completed at December 31, 2012 except for ongoing efforts relating to matching of ADI and ADGC records and subscription documents submitted to the Company.

NOTE 8 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Our former Chief Executive Officer, Stephen D. Kelley, resigned from his office effective January 24, 2013.  None of the 3,200,000 stock options previously granted to Mr. Kelley had been exercised as of his date of resignation and all of the stock options previously granted to Mr. Kelley were forfeited under the terms of his stock option award agreement.  The Company anticipates that $62,500 of the stock option expense recognized in the three months ending December 2012 will be reversed in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013.

On January 31, 2013, the Company executed an employment letter with its existing Chief Operating Officer under which he agreed to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer effective February 1, 2013.  In connection with his appointment, Mr. McMahon was granted 1,500,000 stock options, of which 271,250 vested on February 1, 2013 and the remainder are to vest upon the achievement of specific objectives including employment tenure, cumulative cash flow and cumulative revenue.

GENERAL

Corporate History

We were incorporated on September 17, 2009 in the State of Nevada under the name Krossbow Holdings Corporation (“Krossbow”).  Krossbow’s original business plan was focused on offsetting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through the creation and protection of forest-based carbon “sinks.”  Krossbow planned to assess carbon resource potentials, prescribe and implement ecosystem restorations to develop those resources, and thereby generate carbon offset products.  However, we have since abandoned that original business plan and restructured our business to focus on man-made diamond technology development.  We decided to acquire existing technology and to seek to efficiently and effectively produce man-made diamond. In connection with this change in business purpose, Krossbow changed its name to Scio Diamond Technology Corporation to reflect its new business direction.

On August 5, 2011, Edward S. Adams and Michael R. Monahan, both of whom now serve on the Company’s Board of Directors, acquired control of the Company through the purchase of two million (2,000,000) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock from Jason Kropp, Krossbow’s sole director and executive officer at that time, in accordance with a common stock purchase agreement among Mr. Kropp, Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan.  Concurrently with the execution of the common stock purchase agreement, Mr. Kropp resigned from all positions with Krossbow, including, but not limited to, that of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and Director.

On August 5, 2011, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Scio Asset Purchase Agreement”) with another privately-held Nevada corporation that also had the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” (“Private Scio”).  Under the terms of the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the name “Scio Diamond Technology Corporation” and acquired other rights from Private Scio for 13,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company.  Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan were directors of Private Scio and our former Chief Executive Officer Joseph D. Lancia was an officer of Private Scio, and they owned 31.5%, 31.5%, and 15.4%, respectively, of Private Scio.  Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan each acquired, directly or indirectly, 4,100,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement, Mr. Lancia acquired 2,000,000 shares pursuant to the Scio Asset Purchase Agreement.

On August 31, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of Apollo Diamond, Inc. (“ADI”) (the “ADI Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto, for which the Company paid ADI an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note to ADI.  In connection with the ADI Asset Purchase, the Company also agreed to provide certain current and former stockholders of ADI that were at the time accredited investors the right to acquire up to approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADI Offering”).  Accordingly, the purchase price for the ADI assets was an aggregate of $2,000,000, in a combination of cash and a promissory note, plus the ADI subscription rights.

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Apollo Diamond Gemstone Corporation (“ADGC”) (the “ADGC Asset Purchase”), consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share (the “ADGC Offering”) with the intent that ADI Offering be conducted substantially concurrently with the ADGC Offering (collectively, the “ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering”).

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,336,708 shares of common stock pursuant to the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  Cumulatively as of December 31, 2012, the Company has issued 14,337,473 shares under the ADI and ADGC subscription rights.  On December 31, 2012 there remained a maximum of 2,662,527 shares available to be issued as part of the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  The Company is in the process of finalizing the matching of ADI and ADGC records with subscription documents submitted by hundreds of former ADI and ADGC shareholders and expects this process to be completed by March 31, 2013.  As of February 11, 2013, a total of 15,576,973 shares had been issued under these rights.

Business Overview

The Company’s primary mission is the development of profitable and sustainable commercial applications for its planned mass production of high quality, single-crystal diamond in a laboratory environment using its diamond technology and patented mosaic production approach.  The Company intends to target both the commercial/industrial and gemstone markets and anticipates opportunities in areas including, but not limited to, cutting devices, life sciences, diamond gemstone jewelry, power switches, optoelectronics, and semi-conductors.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had begun generating limited revenue from the sale of diamond materials.   On July 24, 2012, the Company announced that it had signed a purchase order with an international supplier of precision diamond cutting tool products pursuant to which the Company is providing Chemical Vapor Disposition (“CVD”) single crystal diamond in specified wafer sizes.  Through December 31, 2012, the Company sold approximately $615,000 of product under this purchase order.  Under certain circumstances and depending upon, among other things, ongoing demand as estimated by the end product manufacturer, this agreement could produce aggregate sales by the Company of up to an estimated $5,000,000 during the first 24 months of the order.

If the Company is able to produce high-quality, relatively low-cost diamond and diamond materials in reliable quantities, then the products mentioned above may be incorporated into existing applications and technologies and spur new technologies.  In such case, the Company expects numerous product development and licensing opportunities for the Company.  We believe that the unique physical properties of diamond combined with consistent availability made possible by our diamond technology and patented mosaic production approach may lead to potential market opportunities in electronics, optics, communications, and computing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, 2011

During the three month period ended December 31, 2012, we recorded net revenue of $555,772, compared to $0 in revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2011.  During the nine month period ended December 31, 2012, we recorded net revenue of $628,873, compared to $0 in net revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  The increase in revenue is primarily due to the Company’s initiation of production and sales activities.

Our net loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 was $1,723,840, compared to a net loss of $656,399 during the three months ended December 31, 2011.  Our net loss for the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 was $4,807,015, compared to a net loss of $1,187,806 during the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

During the three month period ended December 31, 2012, we incurred total operating expenses of $2,293,724, compared to total operating expenses of $647,625 during the three months ended December 31, 2011.  During the nine month period ended December 31, 2012, we incurred total operating expenses of $5,448,409, compared to total operation expenses of $1,187,589 during the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  The increase in expenses is primarily due to the Company’s initiation of production activities as well as compensation expense related to option issuances and executive severance pay.  We incurred salary and benefit expense including direct labor costs recorded in cost of goods sold of $976,837 during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $2,816,653 during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, which the three and nine month amount included $457,230 and $1,715,399, respectively, of compensation expense related to option issuances and $265,803 of severance expense for both periods ended.  We also incurred $471,088 and $1,220,301 in professional and consulting fees during the three and nine month periods, respectively, including litigation defense costs of approximately $21,119 and $258,610 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $574,294 and $1,081,446 in professional and consulting fees during the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2011.  With production and sales of manufactured products continuing, we had cost of goods sold expense of $605,754 during the three month period and $818,646 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

Depreciation expense of $152,380 and $307,147 was recorded in cost of goods sold during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively.  No depreciation expense was recorded in cost of goods sold in prior periods.

We have generated limited revenue to offset our expenses, and so we have incurred net losses.  Our net loss per share for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 was ($0.04) per share, compared to a net loss per share of ($0.03) for the three months ended December 31, 2011.   The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 44,437,064 and 23,588,380, respectively, for the three month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Our net loss per share for the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 was ($0.14) per share, compared to a net loss per share of ($0.08) for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.   The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 35,123,493 and 14,562,232, respectively, for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At December 31, 2012, we had total assets of $16,380,818, compared to total assets of $14,323,173 at March 31, 2012.  This increase in assets was primarily related to the purchase of assets from ADGC.  We had cash of $1,203,013 at December 31, 2012 compared to cash of $808,516 at March 31, 2012.

Total liabilities at December 31, 2012 were $990,064, compared to total liabilities of $723,501 at March 31, 2012.  Total liabilities at December 31, 2012 were comprised primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Total shareholders’ equity was $15,390,754 at December 31, 2012, compared to $13,599,672 at March 31, 2012.  Shareholders’ equity increased $4,044,118 during the period primarily due to capital raised through private placement of common stock.  Other components of the increase in shareholders’ equity included the grants of incentive stock options to employees of $1,724,979, subscription right issuance related to the ADGC asset purchase of $790,000, and warrants issued in exchange for real property lease of $39,000.  Offsetting these increases is a net loss of $4,807,015 for the period.

CASH FLOWS

Operating Activities

We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2012, net cash flows used in operating activities were $2,441,305 consisting primarily of a net loss of $4,807,015 offset by non-cash stock option issuance of $1,724,979, compared to net cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 of $1,051,344.  The reason for this increase in cash used in operating activities is the Company’s commencement of operations and production activities.

Investing Activities

For the nine month period ended December 31, 2012, net cash flows used in investing activities were $983,316, consisting of the purchase of and deposits on property, plant and equipment.  Net cash flows used in investing activities were $970,803 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

Financing Activities

We have financed our operations primarily through advancements or the issuance of equity or debt securities.  For the nine month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we generated $3,819,118 and $3,485,123, respectively, from financing activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds, revenue from sales and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.

Existing cash and revenues are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next two fiscal quarters through June 30, 2013. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of sales of our common stock and warrants to acquire common stock.

Since June 30, 2012, the Company achieved specified performance milestones that triggered the funding of $1,100,000 in net proceeds under subscription agreements that were entered into in May of 2012 with respect to the sale of units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at a strike price of $1.60 at a unit price of $0.80.  A total of 1,375,000 units were issued in connection with this performance-milestone-related funding, which represented the final commitment to acquire units under certain subscription agreements.  In addition to the foregoing, since June 30, 2012 and up to December 31, 2012, the Company has sold an additional 2,352,500 units for aggregate net proceeds of $1,874,257.

In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to, among other things: (i) manufacturing operations; (ii) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses through the generation of revenue and with further issuances of securities. Thereafter, we expect we may need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements.

Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS

As described above, on August 31, 2011 the Company acquired certain assets of ADI, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto, for which the Company paid ADI an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note to ADI.  The promissory note was paid in full during the month of December 2012.  In connection with the ADI Asset Purchase, the Company also agreed to provide certain current and former stockholders of ADI that are accredited investors the right to acquire up to approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share of which approximately 14,659,996 have been issued at February 11, 2013.

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of ADGC, consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share of which approximately 916,977 have been issued at February 11, 2013.

The ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering began in June and has been substantially completed except for ongoing efforts relating to matching of ADI and ADGC records and subscription documents submitted to the Company.  The Company expects to complete this process by March 31, 2013.

The Company understands that most of the outstanding shares of ADI and ADGC were redeemed prior to and in anticipation of the Company’s purchase of assets from ADI and ADGC.  Mr. Adams and his spouse owned approximately 2% of the common stock of ADI and 11% of the common stock of ADGC (prior to the stock repurchases by such companies in 2011).  Neither Mr. Adams nor his spouse participated in the ADI Offering or the ADGC Offering.  Mr. Monahan held no stock of ADI and approximately 4% of the stock of ADGC (prior to the stock repurchases by ADGC in 2011).  Mr. Monahan did not participate in the ADI Offering or the ADGC Offering.  Mr. Adams and Mr. Monahan and their law firm have provided legal services to each of ADI, ADGC and the Company.  Robert C. Linares, the Chairman of the Board of each of ADI and ADGC, who is also the largest stockholder of each of ADI and ADGC, is the father-in-law of Mr. Adams.  Mr. R. Linares purchased 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company as a former ADI stockholder in connection with the ADI Offering and ADGC Offering.  Bryant R. Linares, a former executive officer of both ADI and ADGC, and the second largest stockholder previously of both ADI and ADGC, purchased 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as a former ADI stockholder in connection with the ADI Offering.  Mr. B. Linares is the brother-in-law of Mr. Adams.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We describe our significant accounting policies in the notes to our audited financial statements filed with our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Some of the accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgment and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates and could materially affect the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

The following is a summary of the more judgmental estimates and complex accounting principles, which represent our critical accounting policies.

Table of Contents

Asset Purchases

The Company purchased certain assets from ADI on August 31, 2011, consisting primarily of diamond growing machines and intellectual property related thereto.  The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of $2,000,000 in a combination of cash and a promissory note bearing interest at 4.00% annually and due and owing in full on September 1, 2012, plus the right for certain current and former stockholders of ADI to acquire up to approximately 16 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share.  The Company has estimated the fair value of these subscription rights to be $0.69 per right, for a total of $11,040,000 for these rights.

The following table reflects our purchase price allocation of the assets:

The Company completed a third-party valuation to determine the fair value of the assets acquired.  The final amounts allocated to the assets acquired are based upon the results of that valuation appraisal.

We believe that the acquisition of these assets from ADI was not the acquisition of a “business” within the definition set forth in GAAP or Rule 11-01(d).

On June 5, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of ADGC, consisting primarily of cultured diamond gemstone-related know-how, inventory, and various intellectual property, in exchange for $100,000 in cash and the opportunity for certain current and former stockholders of ADGC that are accredited investors to acquire up to approximately 1 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share  with the intent that ADI Offering be conducted substantially concurrently with the ADGC Offering.  The ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering began in June and have been substantially completed except for ongoing efforts relating to matching of ADI and ADGC records and subscription documents submitted to the Company.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had issued 14,337,473 shares of common stock pursuant to the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  There remained on December 31, 2012, a maximum of 2,662,527 shares available to be issued as part of the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.  As of February 11, 2013, a maximum of 1,423,027 shares remained available to be issued.

The following table reflects our preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets:

The Company is in the process of obtaining appraisals of the assets acquired and expects to adjust the purchase price allocation no later than March 31, 2013, as necessary.

We believe that the acquisition of these assets from ADGC was not the acquisitions of a “business” within the definition set forth in GAAP or Rule 11-01(d).

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is on a straight line basis beginning at the time it is placed in service, based on the following estimated useful lives:

23

Table of Contents

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the asset (generally three to five years).

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Manufacturing equipment was placed into service beginning July 1, 2012.

After initial recognition, tangible assets acquired that are used in commercialization activities are accounted for in accordance with their nature.  FASB ASC 360 requires that these assets be classified as indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated commercialization efforts, at which time the asset would be considered to be placed in service and the entity would determine the assets’ appropriate useful lives.  In consideration thereof, we believe that the useful life of the reactors (the primary tangible assets) is indefinite until such time as the production and effective commercialization of the production of the reactors (lab-grown diamond) occurs or is more definite. The mechanical components of the reactors have relatively long lives, upwards of ten (10) years, but the capacity limitations of the reactors may render them obsolete from an efficiency perspective as technology in the industry continues to evolve. We, therefore, plan to reassess or re-determine the useful lives of such assets on an annual basis. The lives of the remainder of the tangible assets will be considered based on their technological and functional obsolescence and depreciated accordingly once they are placed in service.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, such as acquired in-process research and development “IPRD” costs, are considered to have an indefinite useful life until such time as they are put into service at which time they will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their economic or legal useful life.  Management’s estimate of useful life of any patents when placed in service is a critical judgment.  Management evaluates indefinite life intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances between annual impairment tests indicate that the asset might be impaired. The ongoing evaluation for impairment of its indefinite life intangible assets requires significant management estimates and judgment.  Management reviews definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges as of December 31, 2012.

During the quarter December 31, 2012, management of the Company conducted a strategic review of its intellectual property portfolio and determined that a substantial portion of the portfolio should be considered for placement in service due to the inherent value of the patents to the on-going manufacturing operations.  As a result, intangible assets in the amount of $6,395,923 previously classified as IPRD were assigned to specific patents and considered placed in service.  These patents are being amortized over a period ranging from 6.75 years to 15.67 years corresponding to their remaining life.

The Company continues to classify the remaing patent portfolio as IPRD and believes that the IPRD has alternative future uses.  At such time that production begins and commercialization of this portion of the intellectual property portfolio begins, then the, segmentation  and bifurcation of the remaining IPRD asset to finite-lived commercialized intellectual property assets will be considered.  Applicable accounting guidance requires an indefinite life for IPRD assets until such time as the commercialization can be reasonably estimated at which time the assets will be available for their intended use.  At such time as those requirements are met, we believe that consideration of the legal life of the intellectual property protection should be of considerable importance in determining the useful life.  Upon commercialization and determination of the useful life of the intellectual property assets, consideration will be given to the eventual expiration of the intellectual property rights underlying certain critical aspects of our manufacturing process.

ITEM 4.                CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of December 31, 2012, the end of the period covered by this report.  We applied our judgment in the process of reviewing these controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding our control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2012.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation described above and prior evaluations, the current management team identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, in the following areas:

·                  Lack of complete written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.

·                  Lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and functioning of required internal controls and procedures.

·                  Insufficient communication processes in connection with period end financial disclosure and reporting.

·                  Due to our small size, limited segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting and other accounting processes and procedures.

In addition, in March  2012, we changed outside legal counsel in an effort to improve the disclosure advice available to us.  To further remediate our identified weaknesses, our goal was to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2013:

·                  Adding one or more independent directors and establishing an audit committee.

·                  Refining our internal procedures, including our communication and data gathering processes in connection with period end financial disclosure and reporting.

During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above, nor have we succeeded in implementing the goals set forth above, largely due to internal turnover in the ranks of our executive officers, including our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who resigned on November 30, 2012.  We are in the process of taking steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting, and we plan to take additional steps during our fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013, continuing into our fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as discussed above in connection with ongoing remediation efforts, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2.                UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the quarter ending December 31, 2012, Company issued 312,500 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock at a strike price of $1.60 at unit price of $0.80 for total cash proceeds, net of fees, of $0.  The warrants are immediately exercisable and will automatically expire on the third anniversary of the issue date, as defined in the warrants.  The number of shares of common stock of the Company for which, and the price per share at which, a warrant is exercisable are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including, without limitation, a stock dividend, stock split, or a merger of the Company, as provided in the warrant.  The transfer of the warrant and the shares issued upon exercise of the warrant are subject to the transfer restrictions applicable to restricted securities, and the transfer of the warrants is further subject to a one-year restriction on the transfer of any warrant.

The offering and sale of the units has been conducted in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided for by Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).  No form of general solicitation or general advertising was used by the Company, or any representative of the Company, in connection with the offer or sale of the units.  Each of the investors was an accredited investor.  The units, consisting of the shares and the warrants, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirement.  The warrants and the shares of Company common stock sold in the offering are restricted securities, have been appropriately legended as such, and cannot be transferred unless they have been registered, or there is an exemption from registration, under applicable federal and state securities laws.

In June of 2012, the Company began conducting the ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering, pursuant to which certain current and former stockholders of ADI and ADGC that are accredited investors have the opportunity to acquire up to an aggregate of approximately 17 million shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share.  The ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering began in June and have been substantially completed except for ongoing efforts relating to matching of ADI and ADGC records and subscription documents submitted to the Company. The offering and sale of the Company common stock pursuant to the ADI Offering and the ADGC Offering is being conducted in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided for by Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  No form of general solicitation or general advertising was used by the Company, or any representative of the Company, in connection with the offer or sale of the common stock.  Each of the purchasers in the offerings has represented that such purchaser is an accredited investor.  The shares of Company common stock to be sold have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirement.  The shares of Company common stock sold in the offering are restricted securities, have been appropriately legended as such, and cannot be transferred unless they have been registered, or there is an exemption from registration, under applicable federal and state securities laws.  During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,336,708 shares of common stock pursuant to the ADI/ADGC Stockholder Offering.
